.:: 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 Sun Will Still Shine...
I just can't help not to share these beautiful images captured in my camera. These photos have been taken weeks ago but I just got to upload it lately because our worship leader borrowed my digicam. It was actually them who took these breath taking pictures.

Ate Marose, our worship leader is a lover of God's wonderful creations, sunsets being one of them. Going to Baywalk has become one of her favorites things to do when unwinding. She borrowed my digicam because they'll go trekking or hiking in some place but the event was cancelled. Since it is only every weekends that we get to see each other, she got to capture pictures of the scenic sunsets in Baywalk with the use of my camera. It's just sad that I wasn't able to join them because I am currently having a hard time getting sleep in the morning and I still have graveyard shift at that time.

Well, enough with the talk. I'll let the pictures speak now.



I like the color of this one. My officemate's comment about this photo was it looks scary, I don't know why, but I find it soothing.



This is my favorite photo. Ang ganda talaga.. It was Archie who took this picture. Ang galing. Yung timing nya sa position ng boat, the sun, the colors... and this is only with the cam in Auto mode. Nothing set manually. Thumbs up to you Chie!



Look at the rays! The orangey color reflected in the water, and the cruise ship from afar. Nice!



Even with the ball all covered, it just can't stop showing it's glory with its rays trying to show up behind those heavy looking clouds. And the red-orange color it made below... great color combination.



The sun taking its last peek. Bye bye... See you tomorrow. (^_^)



I can't couple this entry with some insightful words or quotes like some of my blogging friends who are into photo blogging, for I can't think of anything at the moment. I was just so awed with the images that I'd like to share it to everyone.

Oh if you want to know, these pictures are taken using a Canon Powershot A510, in 640 x 480 resolution, with the camera set in Auto mode.

Enjoy!

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.

About Me

Yahoo! Avatars

Name: Goldi

Home: Pasay City, Philippines

Birthday: June 2

Hobbies & Interests: Jesus, music, books, journals, internet, computers, tech stuff, gadgets * sound tripping, singing, playing musical instruments (I know guitar and flute recorder, I just wish I can play them well), watching movie with a tub of popcorn drizzled with melted butter (yum!), reading * observing, pondering, reflecting, learning * laughing or making people laugh (though I'm not good at it) and laugh with them, make people smile, or just listen to their stories. Minsan, trip ko lang din mang-asar =p

About Me: I'm a simple, idealistic but down-to-earth, & friendly person. Quiet most of the time, but friendly enough to have a nice talk (or even a hearty laugh) with anyone. "I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 NLT

Principles I live by:

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." -Psalm 37:4

"If people talk negatively about you, live in such a way that no one will believe them."

"God is a God of happy endings. If you're not yet happy, it's not yet the end."

"It's not what we know but what we do that counts." -Our Daily Bread

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Dumbledore, Harry Potter 2

"Girls should assume that until a guy expresses interest, they're just friends." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl

"True love doesn't just wait; it plans." -Boy Meets Girl

"Eros will have naked bodies; friendship naked personalities." -C.S. Lewis

"Ideals are like stars; we will not succeed in touching them with our hands but by following them, as the sea faring man in the ocean, we will reach our destiny." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl
