When no one sees or reads, it's relief indeed...!
Bored in Moscow and reminded of my favourite lyrics:
Fleetwood Mac/SP/Landslide: "Can I handle the seasons of my life?"
Killers/Smile like you mean it: "Smile like you mean it!"
Killers/Why Do I keep counting: "Help me get down! I can make it! Help me get down!"
The Smiths/There's a light that never goes out: "...to die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine!"
Cure/Letter to Elise: "And every time I try, to pick it up like falling sand, as soon as I pick it up, it runs away through my clutching hands."

When in Rome, do what the Romans do
Walk
Visit churches - St Peter Basilica and all
Visit piazzas - Navona Square and all
Eat pastas, pizzas
Marvel at historical architecture - Colosseo, Foro Romano and all
And do this everyday...consider spending eternity in Eternal Rome...

It's not about me...as if You should do things my way, You alone are God and I surrender to Your ways.

2009
Some reflected that the past 10 years had been a decade in hell, I thought there was a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
Not that I see half-glass-full while others see otherwise, but I really think the darkest night is signaling dawn will arrive soon.
Interesting to know this blog had existed for 5 years...things have changed. People around me have changed, goals turned disparate, circumstances became different, but thank God, He's constant.
Indeed, the only certainty about life is uncertainty, yet the certainty about God is certainty. He is the "I AM" -- neither past nor future tenses, only present tense. But therein lies my faith regardless of which year it is...that He's always PRESENT in my life.
I wish the same to whoever that reads this as well...that God be PRESENT always in your new year, and many years ahead.

Where is the REST?
I'm not sure if you're sometimes feeling as jaded as I do. The past 5 months were anything but a smooth ride. I'm trying to look for rest. When was the last time you felt you had a good rest? Was it when:
- you had a good massage?
- you played the guitar for a personal jam time?
- you stoned in front of the TV finishing off the last episode of a 30-part serial all in one day?
- you had a satisfying weekend buffet?
- you listened to an uplifting sermon in church?
Or are the above all mis-directed ways of finding rest when there's actually something else?
What is rest?
where is true rest?
Why can't we find real rest?
How? How? How?
