.:: Goldi's Noted Thoughts ::.
Sometimes I believe all the lies
so I can do the things I should despise.
And everyday I am swayed
by whatever is on my mind.

I hear it all depends on my faith
so I'm feeling precarious.
The only problem I have with these
mysteries is they're so mysterious.

And like a consumer I've been thinkin'
if I could just get a bit more...
More than my fifteen minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure...

My faith is like shifting sand,
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

I begged You for some proof
for my Thomas eyes to see.
A slithering staff, a leprous hand,
and lions resting lazily.

A glimpse of Your backside glory
on this soaked altar going ablaze.
But You know I've seen so much,
I explained it away...

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace

Waters rose as my doubts reign
My sand castle faith have slipped away
I found myself standing on Your grace
It'd been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

Life can seem unbearable at times, but don't let it keep you down. Meditate on God's goodness, talk to Him, and know that He hears you. When life knocks you to your knees, you're in a good position to pray.

The Return of the Comeback
I just decided to keep this layout until I learn how to use an image editor. No matter how I look at the vast choices of layout I see in the internet, I can't seem to find something that will suit my taste. No matter how lovely the image was for me, or the whole layout itself, I always find myself not contented with even a very small detail. I'm so OC when it comes to my blog.

I'm currently into reading suspense novels, particularly those authored by Dan Brown. I just finished reading Da Vinci Code, and I'm now into Angels and Demons. Baliktad nga eh. Nauna pala yung Angels and Demons kesa Da Vinci. But I don't think it makes the slightest difference because the books are good by itself, even without reading it's prequel. It's not really the story that got me hooked into it, but the series of events that can't get the anticipation out of you for the next chapters. Walang dating sa kin masyado yung ending but the exposition of some long kept secrets are very surprising. The Da Vinci Code revolves around religion, pagan and Christian alike, and the hidden symbols in Da Vinci's work. I might as well not tell you much about it cause it might take the suspense and thrill out of you. I just kind of didn't like the ending, but the way it was written was brilliant. And I think I've already told you that much. Sorry... just meant to give you an idea. If you like suspense, Dan Brown's were one of the great reads.

I've just started with Angels and Demons, and found a very interesting object at the very first chapter of the book.

What you see is an Ambigram, and I believe there's still more of this to be seen in the book. Very interesting how it was written indeed and you'll be astouned at its history. An ambigram is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of Angels & Demons.

Well, that was just one of the things you'll find in Angels and Demons, not to mention the suspense and thrill you're about see in this brilliantly written book.

I guess that's it for now. I'm off to Puerto Galera, but that' s still far. We'll go there on the last week of May, and we'll go hiking after going to the beach. Woohoo! Excited na ko, grabe! I'll be with my church barkadas, the worship team or the church band. I just recently joined them as part of my ministry. Meanwhile, company outing's getting near, and I haven't decided yet if I'll go or not. Still have to check out my close friends here in the office if they're going. It'll be held in Luau, in Clearwater Country Club. I haven't been there and I actually never heard of the place but the pictures were beautiful, kaso halatang sobrang inet!!! Ang liwanag ng araw. Sa picture pa lang, parang feeling ko, masusunog na ko :D. Looks fun, but it still wouldn't be happy without my closest office friends.

It's nice to be back.

About This Blog
I don't intend this to be my life's chronicles but I might write some of my experiences here. Even so, everything that's written in here are either products of my excessive contemplation, or just plainly, pure boredom. In any case, I still try to write as sensible as possible, for what I really intend to do and I hope is achieved in every writing, is to impart or share some of the things I learn and sometimes, some struggles in life. Don't expect all seriousness in everything in here though.

In short, this blog is my outlet. My noted thoughts and reflections.
