Fervent Fire - Still Burning?
It'd seem that my view of WT's work is really pessimistic --> check under frequented blog [church youths].
We build, we neglect and ultimately it's lost. The not-so-distant sounds of CF ring a familiar tone.
No matter how much zeal we have, no matter how young we are, if something's made by human hands alone, it's doomed to fail. Only His hands alone own consistency.
Prove me wrong, WT.
Prove to me that I'm a downright pessimist in need of a perspective - a miracle.
Prove to me that I'm just a bickering critic that ought to do something and see for myself how difficult it is.
Prove to me that there's still some fire, no matter how small the flame is, among us.
Prove me wrong, WT.

Portishead's Third
I've no choice but to break the rule after 4 months and 25 days...
I've got to buy Portishead's Third...
It was a good reason to break the rule...
11 years since NYC Live...
I think the floodgates may open...but who cares?

Happy birthday
I think of your cooking when I see food that you have cooked
I remember going marketing with our 'mercedes' and breakfast at chinatown
I will not forget how you were concerned that I will be in good care
Happy birthday Pa.

Zendagi Migzara
Yesterday, I attended an internal career development course, of which my essential takeaway is that I manage my career. As the proverbial saying goes in my ex-company: no one owes you a living.
Today, feeling inspired and waking up to a bad cold and Jadon's bad cough (bronchitis was the diagnosis) , I stayed home, knowing that I owe no one a living either (or perhaps I do but Adeline could take care of the family, I guess).
Yes, I digress. I stayed home and spent some hours reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It was worth it - the perspectives on father/son relationships, friendships, courage/cowardice, sin/atonement, God and Zendagi Migzara (life goes on, in Arabic) because of the people around us.
I'm proud to be a son to my father, and a father to 2 sons. Life is meaningless without the relationships around us. If life is preoccupied about work, then it's not worth living indeed - and really, no one owes anyone any living. We all owe it to God.
