Decided to edit this photo taken from a trip to Adelaide two years ago. Just did minor changes and added a simple frame. I want to use this for as a background for another piece I have in mind. Chose this photo because it reminded me of the very first oekaki I published xD

Living Beyond "Myself"

"By faith, I will serve; and wait upon the Lord."

June.02.2007:Saturday
Was at Citylife church today. They were preaching the last message for the series "living beyond myself". It was about serving and the attitude of those who spent their whole lives serving. They were people who knew that serving was not about them (or 'me'; we'd definitely breakdown along the way and give up if we're truly serving for ourselves), that it was not about 'now' (but what happens after we've lived our short life here on earth), that the only approval that matters is the one from above, and that they have found their purpose and they can feel God's pleasure. So, serving was really about doing it out of love for God and for the very purpose of pleasing Him.

Really simple message; but, I couldn't help thinking about a conversation I had just the Monday night before. In that conversation, we were sharing about how timely God is when he speaks to us, how timely sermons can sometimes be, and how I wanted to serve. So, yea, I can't help but wonder how timely this message was. Out of the verses in the sermon, I think Hebrews 11 was the one the spoke to me most.

Apparently, I can download sermon notes from their website and download sermon mp3s too.

April.27.2007:Friday
+ was at Hamer Hall for the concert: A Night in Fantasia Symphonic Games Edition by Eminence +
+ + stayed over at kyu's +

The Symphonic Gaming Edition was a concert I was so glad I attended; that was about a week ago. There was a good crowd and the orchestra was splendid. The pianist and organist was awesome too! I had my disappointments though when they started with a song from Final Fantasy but when I heard pieces from Metal Gear Solid, the Legend of Mana, Super Mario Brothers even. I was swept away. And the encore! While I am not and will never be good with names, I will remember the two pieces they performed for the encore for a long, long time. They were really good!

2nd Month in Melbourne

April.02.2007:Monday
Let's just say I've been lazy and I haven't found the time to sit in front of the computer (except now) to type out anything other than assignments. =P

I can't say I've been to places but I have been visiting the city, attending events, seeing different festivals, making friends, and I'm trying very hard to go places. xD That said, I'm going to Phillip Island this Easter to join the Oceania Convention 2007. I found out about it through the church I'm currently attending, Hope Melbourne: Waverley Center, a church that came to me rather than me actually finding out about it. (God worked it out somehow, He definitely knows the people I want to meet and what I'm looking for in a church because I found everything exactly as I thought it should be right here.)

+ was too lazy to go to the 9 AM lab session +
+ going at 12 PM... don't worry +

+ watched TMNT! It was great! +

Hmm... Other movies I've watched so far here are Man of the Year and The Illusionist. Both were good but I'd say they can definitely do better. I thought the first one was supposed to be funny and the second one was supposed to be sort of like a thriller (the way I thought I'd see fancy magicworks between two wizards in The Prestige =P ). The Prestige was awesome though!

January.06.2007:Saturday
+ had lunch with yvonne & joo @ 1U +
+ cell group in my house for this month +
+ spent 1,000 g on vending license here +

Today I saw a sight that made me smile in my heart. A small dream that came true when and where I would not expect. Make that 2.

I had lunch with 2 very, very good friends from two different circles of friends I have. That was the first small dream. I've always wanted to know if I could bring any of them out together and can still be able to hang out. I'm glad we did. While we walked and chatted and ate, my heart was smiling inside. Really.

The second small dream happened later in the evening. It's not what I expected at all. I've been yearning, or wondering, for a time when I can read in an environment where everyone else wants to read too; together in the same place. My cell group was at my place and my little dream came true when we were asked if we had finished our week's worth of bible reading. Most of us haven't. >.>;;;;; So we all took out our bibles and started reading. When I looked around, my heart just smiled. I was pleased to see what I saw. People reading. It's a very pleasant feeling. (Of course, when I thought about reading in that sort of environment, I was picturing the DOME cafe at MidValley where it overlooks a park on slow days when no one's really around.) =P

2007 is going to be great.

I got one of these chain letters a long time ago at gaiaonline.com. More chain letters like this one started piling up. So, here's my share. Feel free to email me your version if you're bored =P

These surveys come around every now and then - thankfully each is a little different from the last! This is what you're supposed to do...and try not to be LAME and spoil the fun! Just give in. Copy (don't forward) this entire e-mail and paste it into a new e-mail. Don't forget to delete out all the other e-mail addresses so this doesn't get impossibly long. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know ~ INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends.

1. First Name: Carolyn.

Hey there! Are you a marine engineer? A Christian? Someone who's interested in working on a ship and sail around the world? Someone who wants to go around the world and let everyone know that God loves them? Well, Doulos is looking for you. In fact, they need you. If you believe that God is calling you to go to them, please, let them know. You may just be God's answer to their prayers.

Hey, I never really told you guys that I watched Death Note!

The movie was great! =D

If you have not read the manga and anime, this movie will definitely present itself as a mysterious and captivating plot where you just can't guess what's going to happen next! It'll definitely build up anticipation for the sequel. Yes, sequel. There will be Death Note 2!!!! =D

For those who have read the manga, or are watching the anime, you'd find this movie a little different from what you've been following but heads up for the close-enough-to-be-a-bishie version of Light and a very nicely portrayed L!!! (my favourite character!!) =D Also, with what you know from the anime and manga, you'd be able to make out small but important details that were not elaborated on in the movie. Gosh... I'd have to rate this as the best movie I've seen this semester!!!
