| xanga has gotten hi-tech. no more click here, type. click there, type. now there's like tons of new buttons and crazy stuff like that. well, i was looking over some things and this old site came up and i decided to write something. so here i am, writing. well, more like typing.
people are for seasons. seasons make up your life. some seasons last a month, others last 10 months, but there are a hand full of people who are with you through every season. for that i, and i know you, are grateful. i can count those people on one hand. the people i really care about. that's something amazing in itself.
love is such an overused word these days. "i love you", "i love you too", "love ya". people don't respect the meaning of it at all. it's such a powerful word. a beautiful feeling and a strong committment. but it is abused, and shed with a gray light that casts a shadow and stretches love so that it's beyond correct likeness. we have done that. sure, blame it on the media. blame it on society. but no, it was you. and it was me. we're all to blame.
find pure love. i say pure because it has no shadow and gray light determining its borders. it's white. it's blameless. shameless. and untouched. find it. if that is your entire life's purpose, then your life has had purpose.
i think everything i've gone through (and i know you can relate to that fragment) has determined this moment. every second of life is treasured. and though we have regrets, because it's inevitable, love blinds the pain that follows our wrongs. so that we choose to embrace it, the pain does not embrace us.
nothing else matters. look at religion, how divided it is. look at segregation among everyone- races, cultures, languages. the list only goes on. but it doesn't matter. love matters.
the only two commandments that were left for us are: love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.
how simple is that? no long lists of what we can and cannot do. love envelops everything.
the beatles had it right, "love is all you need."

| how are all of you readers?
let's see, nothing much has happened in the last however long... alas. i'm tired. and at school, hence the tiredness. i'm so sick of school. finally it's almost over. there's like 20 school days left til graduation. yay! : )
anyways, i don't have anything to say.
so peace out! | | |
| ok, this is for kim - and anyone else who wants an update.
ha! i'm updating!!! boo yah grandma...
let's see... i'm at school now, as i usually am when i update this thing. and i've been sick for the last month and a half. so yeah, that kinda sucks. mycoplasma and very low potassium. i'm going to the doc again today to get more blood taken (ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!). man, i hate needles. i was just telling mother yesterday that needles are my only phobia. wouldn't i sound so cool if i knew the actual word for that phobia? yeah, i know.. oh well.
so.... in other news, school is going well. i have all a's and b's. i don't know what happened, but whatever it was it'll make me a lot of money when report card time comes around. most seniors slack off with the whole "senioritis" excuse, but for some strange unknown reason i'm working harder than i ever did. though, not really working. since i don't have much to do and not a big course load like some people. but yeah..
all these periods and days and changes of schedule are confusing. i don't like numbers. they're highly over rated.
yay. another update is finished. God is good. all the time. and all the time. God is good.
lent! or lint! or lynt! however you spell it. i'm on it now! you should be too! it started 2 weeks ago? i think that's right. anyway. if you don't know what it is then tell me and that'll be my next update. lol.

| ahoy!
i realize it's been a while. yes, i know this. alas. i figured that a lot of you don't know anything about me but what's on this blog, so i decided to write something. God has been good and faithful. life is going ok. i'm halfway done with my 3rd quarter of my last year of high school. it's kinda hard to believe that i've come this far. i'm 18! i've been 18 for a while, but i'm still in shock. in june i'll be living with melissa and mike. jeff's coming to charlotte with me. he's gonna get a place there and work. mom and dad are staying in singapore for another year...
i've been really missing fox hollow farm. in fact, in the horse aspect - i've been riding some over here in southeast asia. on the weekends, to a place in malaysia. i've gone twice now and will continue going. it's great to be riding. the place there is not too shabby, but it's not home. i'm gonna try out another barn. both are much cheaper than the ones here in singapore.
on a trivial note, i got the carrie underwood cd. it's really good. i'm actually listening to it now. i suggest you to get it if you enjoy country poppy peppy type music. it's good stuff.
i suppose that's all i have to say for now. you're welcome to email me - hrsrdr87@gmail.com
ta ta for now!

| i realize it's been a very long time.... we are now into the month of november. wow.
that's just amazing.
this sunday is jeff's birthday. yay! =) 21!!
i will leave you xanganians with a poem.
why write of sorrow?
pain is over done.
despair is all too common.
heartache is everywhere.
such bliss is not worth mentioning.
everyone has their fair share.
each man "alone," interrupted," "broken."
why not write of harmony?
good times are rare enough.
love shows a million faces.
happiness is seldom around.
such turmoil is worthy of a poem or two.
perhaps a story, a note.
a speech, a memo.
a reminder that it does exist.
