lots of work really, but i’m glad i’ve got my blog up, *cheers*

hehehes wells its late gotta go so good nite!

accumulated work…

yep, right now its thursday, i haven’t been able to blog lately cause of my sheer amount of work
and lack of timemanagement skills.

Yesterday I went to York for english research project, and when i was coming back, i ended up travelling the GTA and Toronto in the whole day:
To: YRT 3 - Morning to York - went through, parts of Markham, Richmond Hill, ThornHill
From: TTC York to Downsville [cause i dunno why], went to downsville, went down to Spadina(DownTown), switched off went to Bloor and went back up to finch (NorthYork) and accross steeles(Scarborough/Markham), and walked up brimley to get home *cheers*

so i’ve travelled most of toronto by paying $1.60 + 1 ttc ticket, blissful :

Today i got my calc test and i passed yay!!! by how much…. 52% 15.5 out of 30 *gulp*; gotta really pick up on Calc.
And yah gotta write 2 essays, 1 lab, and math hwk over the vacational period… hopefully my dad brings his laptop else i’m pretty much done for :P

Hobby Note –
I got Slackware 10 Installed duel partitioned right now
NTFS - 50 GB
Fat32 - 16 GB
Ext2 - 10 GB
Swap - 1 GB
Hopefully I’ll get time to set up sound, and confure my GUI properly and set everything up so its nice and pretty :)
one thing i don’t like about it so far is loadtime, as compaerd to XP but so far so good.. getting the hang of command line,
nothing tweaking / more practice wont’ improve

Heart Wise –
Still a empty painstruck :
lonliness again.

so yah… gotta go study now.
tux is my friend :)

sweet intimacy

Monday.. well Tuesday now, 12:11,
really tired, just did most of my work.. still got lots of compsci stuff to finish up, not enough time,
Arg… oh wells…

Today still pain within my little heart, still a scent of lonliness in my soul.
Back into routine, pretty hectic week + weekend since Sherksten, but i should be able to get my work done,
hopefully i’ll get Slax loaded to work my dad’s laptop by then..

but not even looking past then, i feel like i’m going to fall apart,
one part of me wants to recede into quietness, to think contemplate and go through my emotional ‘bliss’
other side of me wants to just accept it for now, and wait for God to reveal himself, cuase thats whats really matters
now is temporary, necessary but nothing is sealed.

i guess describes how i feel… *sighs* still wonder why… well i know why but that still and close promise .abide.627.; our core promise before to wait… until we were ready, to save the best for the last… now it seems we enter the 4th party, and that beautiful love triangle (no God the middle of two ~ no not an stupid soap triangle)

oh wells, wahtever hte circumstnace, whatever the problem, God heals us all… fullfills us.

I guess i’m hoping a few things:

1. God continue to discipline me to abide in him — focus on what is at hand, and he will reveal whats the next step is
AND
2. We’ll recujoin again; i wish this would happen, but i am still just perry, simply me — nothing too too special here.
OR
3. God will lead me to another person (in his own time) who is the right one for me, beyond my own dreams, which i guess would just stop at #2.

bla so yah kiddies don’t get into dating/courting relationshps — even if you’re dead serious about it follow by the book and all,
as Joshua Harris says “The Right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing”
its fun.. yes… but if you’re serious and the other person isn’t as serous then the ‘not fun’ out weighs the ‘fun’
else… if you’re both serious (thats great, and that’d have been my wish) then well cherish, faithful, appreciate. you’re blessed, but don’t step beyond God’s will, don’t leave the path… love triangle.
God
/
you him/her

Sweet Intimacy - when we’re so broken inside, so lonely so empty… we cry out to God he comes, and we bury our hurting little heads into his warm arms… and our tears dry on his robes… and all we feel is his peace, and joy and his gracious love!

wells i’m really tired gotta get rest and prep for tomorrow, School *yay*
~> hope i don’t get told by Mr. Chan,

nigh’

numbness.

Is it over? God have mercy… may your unfailing grace rain upon this broken child,

May you remember him…. and sustain him.
may your blessing wash over the one he cherishes, protect her, and fullfill her with your love.

Psalm 37
Of David.

1 Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD ;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret-it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace.

12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.

16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.

18 The days of the blameless are known to the LORD ,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20 But the wicked will perish:
The LORD’s enemies will be like the beauty of the fields,
they will vanish-vanish like smoke.

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
22 those the LORD blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be cut off.

23 If the LORD delights in a man’s way,
he makes his steps firm;
24 though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be blessed.

27 Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the LORD loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.

They will be protected forever,
but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;
29 the righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks what is just.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
his feet do not slip.

32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
seeking their very lives;
33 but the LORD will not leave them in their power
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.

34 Wait for the LORD
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.

37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.
38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD ;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
_______________________________________________
can only pray and hope that its not over yet…
else accept the facts… that God has prepared someone.
goes back to Psalms 119 that i’m studying…. I’m calling to God to reveal his promise to me,
he probably won’t until its time, *smiles* but to find security and comfort in Him.

future perspective – *

Saturday today, got a few papers to write, *smiles* should be pretty fun, and enjoyable,
But yah, before i get to that, i’m just going to add my blog entry for today, and a bit about yesterday.

Yesterday
it wasn’t that bad, enjoying school as usual, Started Calculus and i think i might be liking it, cause its concepts and ‘manipulating’ numbers in gray areas of the rules, :D, so maybe it won’t be that bad… better than Functions I hope :)
Lunch we had fellowship meeting, Worship, and time of introducing each other… really cool, felt like so little time though… but hten i guess cliche: “time flies when you’re having fun” :D
after school, i went to get new glasses got these half frameless ones, only has the top bar… sorta weird,
but they’re ok, i guess— cause it doens’ come back down, and hopefully they won’t break as easily as the ones i have right now,
Oh wells, atleast i’ll have two pairs of glasses, and got clip on shades w/ my new ones, so i can actually drive :D
After that i got a haircut… at this ‘new’ place run by MainLand China ppl, rather htan my usual HKish place… didn’t go to the usual place cause there were like 2 ppl in line and i was sort of in a hurry. though i liked the other place cause its like a couple, managing a small operation to support their family. This new place which is a few stores next to it, is a lot smaller and not as pretty, none of that cleancut, stylized hair cutting place, more like 4 walls, 3 chairs, and their equipment. I think its run by a family… say a mom, daughter and someone else… pretty empty, so I think I’ll put my $ to support this place instead of the other one… though its tough communicating since they speak in mandarin with a bit of cantonese, and i’m on the cantonese / english side; but its cool.
After that went to Aletheia for Bible study which was really insightful.
I don’t know why but lately everytime we look at the NT, on Sundays, BibleStudies, books, and what not… they have taken a new air of interest… God answering my prayer of giving me a new perspective / thirst for his word? I hope so. I feel so unfamiliar with the Bible. could also be cause i’ve been in Psalms for the last while… studying / memorizing…. which still rox :D
When i got home, i killed my computer again, had to pull out my HDD from my dad’s computer and put it back in mine to fix the partition *grrr* waste of 2 hours… oh wells,

Today
I woke up at 8:45, pretty tired having only 6.8 hours of sleep, went to the medical centre to get blood extracted, but then when we got there, we forgot the paper, so we went home and came back, and found the line was like some crowded yumcha place :P
so me and my mom just went to eat breakfast, and talked about stuff… And my mom gave me an interesting idea

Future Perspective
Yah… Idea was something like, She and my sister would go to England to see my Aunt’s Daughter (my cousin?? ~ never seen them ever) get married in march, my grandma would got to England, and join my mom / sister back to Canada. She’d then stay for 2 or so months, and i could take my G2 in the marchbreak, (hopefully get it), and then after school, i’d head over w/ my grandma to HK, get my citizenship renewed, visit relatives, go shopping for clothes and technology :D *yaya*; then probably head back after a month or so to Canada, and get a job somehow… OR if God calls, and arranges go on a missions trip w/ church ppls (Art mentioned he wanted to have one to China)… so yah.. i dunno, pretty much playing with ideals. Lots of Prayer needed to clarify God’s sovereign plan

back to the present
But yah… i guess back to reality and the present, I’m kinda of shifty on what exactly is happening, I feel my most cherished friendship seems to be weak and somewhat falling apart, feels so easily to just call it quits, and just go on. But i don’t want to do that… as much as it hurts, i want to persevere on, i want this love to go on, I still believe in my promise… John 15:7, Abide in God and get what i want most in my heart. Even though the romance has died… and the friendship seems kind of off on a tangent, I’m trying hard to get back… but i don’t quite think she wants to… And I feel its like i’m being pushed aside for other things, people. But thats ok she has choice, and i don’t have to be that choice… I want her to be happy, whether i actively share in that happyness or not. The thing i guess i struggle with is that… while i feel like i’m being pushed aside, part of me feels a bit repelled and i wonder if i’d be happier with someone else. A new appreciation has also spawned in me of someone else, and maybe its in the infaturation process, i really don’t know. but as with everything, married or not, each person has a will, and though it looks like a possibility, I refuse to choose now.
1. I want to be loyal to the one I’ve first chosen, I am not a traitor
2. Its not the time to think about such things, grade 12, focus
3. Its not in me, to leave a friendship kind of hanaging, and going to seek something else to replace it
4. Building friendships is so much more important than a relationship.
Yet even in midst of all that, I feel tempted to take the easy way out… It would make life ‘easier’ maybe… to just live an indifferent life, forgetting all that has happened, all that was said, tossing all of that into a pool of meaningness.
*shrugs*
“True Love is fully proven… when it is given away” am i ready to do that again? it hurts and i guess i am. but I’m not to choose now.

As tempting as it is… and my mind occaisonally broods the thought
and as much as i appreciate this new person for her personality, and how much she loves God
(which is for me… the most attractive thing in a girl.)
It all God’s choice, and God’s time, (which definately isn’t now)
I surrender all my rights, to Him.

I’ve cast my choice — and I want that to be the final one.
if Not, I trust God has an alternative in his Sovereign plan.

God - my truest lover. He’s my choice, now and forevermore.
whatever else will be his blessing which i will cherish my whole life.
