.:: 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.

My Blogs

I all of a sudden felt like visiting my online journals, and came to realize that gosh, I used to be so addicted with the thing and now, if spiders can live on it, it will have lots and lots of cobwebs already.

I've got 3 blogs. My first was in blogspot, my second is in Friendster, and the last one I created is in Multiply. To each, its own beauty and advantage. But the reason I can't let go the two to just maintain one is because I can't have all of their features in one.

Blogspot gives me a lot of versatility, giving me freedom to fully customize the layout and look to my liking through html, and it's actually where I acquired my basic HTML skills. But the things is maintenance in blogspot is really very hard, specially if you're putting some things other than your posts that needs constant updating. I don't actually have all the time and I don't always feel enthusiastic anymore to update these things. I like blogspot on the visual side because I can fully customize it and so pour out my whole personality on the design alone. And everyone's also free to give comments, without requiring any membership or registration which can really too much of a hassle. The bad side on this thing though is it's not very secure.

The only thing I liked in Friendster is that it automatically updates all the people in my network whenever I have new posts. In this way, they can be updated in more detail than just on what they see in my Friendster profile. I can also do this in multiply, yes and I can even exclusively select the people I would only want updated but most of my friends doesn't really know about multiply and Friendster is more popular to most of them. For the rest, it already sucks. Sometimes the first thing you'll see when your blog is opened is their advertisement.

Multiply almost have it all. You can build your network, upload unlimited photos and organize them into albums for viewing, you can make a photo blog there, and they also have a blog feature, and much more than that. you can write reviews, add another page for recipes if you love cooking, you can also have your playlist uploaded for sharing or just to be able to access it anywhere internet is available, and much much more. The bad side? Though some parts can be configured to be viewed by anyone even if they're not a member, there are just some things that will really require them to sign up for a membership, like being able to comment on your posts. And also, another thing that I hate is the adverts just popping anywhere in the page. Though they don't have any pop ups, the advertisements just getting in the way of the nice view of the website really annoys me.

I initially started a blog with the following things in mind:

I like to learn HTML, thus making me sign up for a blogger account.

I like to enhance my writing skills.

I like other people to hear my thoughts.


Just that. At first I was really very enthusiastic about it but as time pass, enthusiasm died down. But I didn't stop, seeing as how this thing has also helped me in some way.

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.
