More Than Useless

I've been quite lazy last June. My mind went on juggling from my present situation to thinking about the future, to the things I want to do, to the things I've been putting off doing. And it kind of went like that for most of the month. I was lost inside the crossroad of my mind. I haven't even had time to keep in touch with my friends.

I was so absorbed with self doubts and hesitations about myself. That's when I found this song, and it shed light to me. No matter what  I think, I can't rule out the fact, that to Him I am More Than Useless...^^

  I've been a fan of Relient K, and it's just good to know that they have songs almost anyone could relate to . :)

Drawing inspired by Canon

This has been on my mind for a long time; what I imagine when I listen to the music Canon by Pachelbel. I've made this sketch early this June 2011.I'm happy I'm finally done coloring it, and the outcome as I think is good.

Imagine spring under the Cherry blossom tree. . Feel the breeze and the blossoms dancing with it, now with Canon in the background. That's where this idea came from.^^

Once Upon a Time and Prince Charming

“Once upon a time”
Words that little girls would love to hear
A world created in fantasy,
Where a damsel in distress is always to be set free

“Once upon a time”
There the tale began
And the little girls wait patiently as they listen to the story.
Of course the magic is not complete
Until prince charming and his princess meet.

Prince Charming,
He is all that’s needed
Courageous and mighty, he comes.
To save the princess from doom
And later on decides to be her groom.

Or if not, Prince Charming would come as a solitary man.
Seeking for his true love as we know
And to find it, in any place he would go.
He is not attracted by vanity or grandeur
But a beauty with a loving heart is what he’s really looking for.

When the story has ended
Little girls would dream
That when they grow up
They would find their own prince charming

But reality is where we live
Here fairy tale love stories hardly exist.
When it’s finally time to be a lady
Little girls ought to know to leave the world of fantasy.

They have to be vigilant and careful
Before loving somebody with their all
For they would have to deal with real experience
Where one mistake could lead to consequence
And there may not be a prince charming to catch their fall.

You have to have an end goal

When we have dreams and goals it’s not enough motivation to do things just because we like it or we want it.

When like and want starts to fade we’ll start to question whatever we’ve started doing, whether it’s worth pursuing or not. And most of the time when we don’t find the answers to our questions sometimes we stop dead in the middle of our race.
That’s why we need to have something bigger than just our sudden desire to do it, want it or like it.

We need to have an end goal. We need to know what we are after, the reason why we work hard and persevere, so when we feel tired in pursuing it, we have a something to look forward to and to keep us moving.

It’s hard to run the race when the finish line is still out of sight, what’s more when we don’t have enough reason to reach it.

“You can’t have it if you’re not ready to receive it.”

Even if we want to achieve things, if we are not ready, and if we have doubts in our hearts and we keep making excuses for things, then it will be hard for that thing to come to pass.

We have to be ready first in our hearts and mind and it will manifest in our actions. We have to believe it first in order to receive it.

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." -Mark 11:24 ESV

INHIBITION

No matter how I wish for you to see
You never cared to look at me
The words I wished to tell you
Are all drowned in desperate plea
Because you won’t listen to me.

Again and again I reached out to you
And again …yet again you won’t let me through.

You kept attacking me with words so blunt
Was it your excruciating way to break my heart?

Broken and solitary
There’s no comfort left
And I don’t want you to see
The pain that’s burdening me.

It’s my weakness but I won’t let it show
You won’t see me beg for your attention
I’ll let this longing for you become my inhibition.

I’ll keep my heart to myself
And hope that in time
You’ll see what you’ve done
Before it’s too late and everything’s gone.

The better way to say you are unemployed

"I'm between jobs right now."

I just came across this phrase 'between jobs' or 'between projects' and found out that it means you are currently unemployed.

Gosh... why did I come across this just now...? I could've used this before to sound more dignified, instead of saying I was a bum and unemployed. lol.

To be between jobs means the person is currently unemployed; between their last job and the would be new job- so that makes it between. (make sense)

So well, to save yourself the trouble and the shame on admitting you're out of work, I've learned we could just use the phrase 'between jobs/ projects', and you could even sound like some smartypants :P

Very simple lesson for me today I guess. :D :P
