Life is Precious
"Ladies! This is not a coffee shop!
Do some work!"

Do some work!"

Oh to hear her pester these words to me and Priskilla during art class was a gem...we'd go into fits of giggles and to hear her pester it to us now would be even funnier. I miss those times in art class. I don't know what we had so much to talk about... I think it was back in the days of mIRC and we'd always talk about what we talked about online the night before... lol... I don't even know why it was so interesting.
It's always good to have a friend that motivates you... her name is Carol. It's also good to have a friend that challenges you... her name is Priskilla. Ever since art in highschool, we've always been challenging each other I guess - who's the better artist... of course and I was not winning the battle... I never did. EXCEPT - that time I won People's Choice Award for Best Bathroom Design... but I must admit, her art has always been so much better than mine. God has really blessed her with the talent to draw. I'd always be in so much awe of her drawings and wish that I did it... the amount of time I spent making my portfolio look good... she could do it so easily and effortlessly.
And you know even though *this* many years have separated us, even though oceans separate us, even though after you left we hardly even talked for years - I always remembered the promise we made. I know that one day we'll be reunited in some holiday destination catching up on all the days we've lost and even when our paths separate again, I know that one day we'll be kicking it with Jesus! haha... I can't believe how much you've changed and become a better person on the inside out and I'm so happy for you and so thankful to God.
And you know, I think I honestly have to be thankful for facebook (of all things) which has allowed us to keep in touch again after so long. I'm so happy for you and I even envy you for having the job I want... but we still have three years to go =P So we'll see then huh?!
Love ya kiki.
Sometimes I wonder why God takes away my closest friends. All thoughout highschool and up until now, the people that I've grown closest to the most have left me within 2 - 4 years. So that's why I gave up the idea of ever having a best friend at all. I know that He's planned a calling for them elsewhere and if so, who am I to say? I trust that He'll take care of my earthly angels. =)
I know I'm really lame and slow with movies sometimes. I only saw Transformers two weeks ago. Wow ... it really blew my mind. Then I only saw Click yesterday. I have to admit that I don't fancy Adam Sandler and I've never really liked any of his movies at all. But Click was so touching it made me cry just as much as Titanic made me cry! I can't believe that Adam Sandler could make such a touching movie with such a life lesson, and I must admit that it's now become one of my favourites. I can't believe how sad it was. *shakes head*
It's like that in life I guess, we want to fast forward all the pain and suffering, all the sickness all the arguements with friends and family, all the bad times. But it's through all these bad times that help us to focus and help us to build our character so that we can become better and stronger people out of it all. We have all been put into our situations for a reason and when times are tough I always refer to my favourite verse "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." People who have been blessed with much, much more will be expected and Adam Sandler- I can't even remember his character's name, but he set aside his priorities wrongly. It really shows us that life is short and precious and we should really appreciate the time we have been given on this Earth and the people that we've been given this time to spend with.
There are so many times that I wish I could turn back the clock and go to those memories - the good and fun times. But there's no point to keep looking back into the past when it can't be changed but only mesmerised. Why waste energy on the past when our futures are so bright?
One little fella named Jason taught me something today. He said, "We know we've learnt something when our actions start to change," and I think that's so true. It's only when we admit and acknowledge our failures and mistakes and actually take charge to change by actioning it that we can really begin to move forward.
