.:: 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.

Multiply Makeover
I changed my layout into something cuter. Maybe some may say that the layout is too cutie-cutie for my age, but I really love it. Thanks to http://pinkfaiiry.multiply.com and to http://customizedthemes.multiply.com that I found this uber-cute layout. I am making some modifications pa, and in fact, I have now spent quiet some time in front of the computer. I started at 9am and it's now 1:15pm. adik!

My New Bible

Bought a new Holy Bible last night on my way to work. I was early in Makati yesterday because I went to school for our classes during Friday but when I got there, wala dun si sir. Medyo na-badtrip ako kasi I woke up early pa naman just to get there on time tapos pagdating ko wala si sir! Arrrgh! Napuyat na nga ko, kulang pa ko sa tulog. Since I was so early, I decided to window shop muna since I'll be passing 3 linked malls. From MRT Ayala station is SM Makati, then Glorietta, then Landmark. Tapos Greenbelt. Oha. That's one of the perks of working in Makati. The downside is magastos d'oh. I checked Powerbooks since I have long been planning to find a replacement for my Bible, which I bought for P1,349.75 Php, considering its diminutive size (the size of a purse. Ang Bible kasi, habang lumiliit, lumalaki ang presyo) and that was way back July 2005, pagkatapos I will find out lang later on na may missing pages pala. At ang dami ha. Kaya ako naghahanap ng bago. Kulang ang books. Hindi pwede yun. So I checked what Powerbooks have. I already have something in mind, so I already know what to look for. I was scouting for a Backpack Bible. As the name implies, it's handy and funky enough to be carried in your backpack. Like a go anywhere sort of stuff. Kumbaga sa damit, it's the casual and comfy type. Backpack Bibles by Zondervan has a wide range of cool designs. You wouldn't think it's a Bible until you open it. It's nice that they are being creative on the concept of God's word and making it more eye friendly to the public. So I checked their collection and I found this one with a Lady Bug design. Cute sya. I'm posting the pictures in my album section. And I'm satisfied with it. Cute na cute ako sa kanya. I was thinking, I can carry it around and read it anywhere without making an impression na nagbabanal banalan ako. And it's fun to read nga because of the design. It somehow removes that impression of seriousness that scares off people. Basta natutuwa ko sa kanya. party

Check the album. may comparison pa ko with my old one. I was thinking if I will give it away, for I somehow am having a hard time letting it go. Parang may sentimental value sya. Isa kasi yun sa mga first fruits of my labor with PeopleSupport. It's the second I owned, na ako ang bumili. At sya ang pinakamahal. Yung pinakauna ko nawala e. Naiwan ko sa jeep. Bahala na. big grin

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.

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.

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
