Walking side by side

These past few years have had their fair share of bliss
There have been moments of pain in this dark abyss
Unspoken words in times of fear
You've been my comfort through it, dear
Today the fourth year begins
Maybe we might yet make our twins
I know how much that scares you
That's no cause for you to be blue ;p
Wherever life takes us
We'll be ready in this mess,
This three strand cord
Him, you and I with one accord

Happy anniversary to my Honey Boo!

Love Culture

I feel your love
I'm experiencing the thrill
I am caught up in this
The heaviness of this wave
That's tossing me and bending me
Beneath its warm and powerful curl
I'm loving this
This ride of a lifetime
Don't know when or how
It does not matter to me
I am fully aware that you are in this
All I can do is stare
Allow it to take over my mind, body, soul
Hmm, the way you love me
This has become my way of life

Annyong!

So for the past month I have been a little busy. It's not so much been with work or life per se. I have been busy watching soaps. I don't mean the kind that go on for a lifetime. Just simple lovely drama that is relatable and gives me pure joy! I think one of the reasons why I got hooked on these dramas was the same reason why I got hooked on Twilight. It made me remember how I felt when I started dating and all the joys and thrills, the fears and insecurities I experienced.

My current obsession with Kdramas (Korean drama) started after I was blog surfing one day and came across a review of one such drama and the rest is pretty much history. I was sold hook, line and sinker. If you're looking for something refreshing other than the everyday "sexified" drama we see on our TVs, then you are welcome to the wonderful world of K Drama. You can thank me later ;p

Night Sky

We lifted off into the dark night
Past the jet black clouds onto another dark lit stage
Stars hang up in the background to give it some character
This metal bird was way up in the sky
And I felt so small suddenly
I stared deep into the darkness as if willing Him to appear
There in the horizon, behind thick dark clouds
Peeped beautiful silvery ones
What a wonder to behold in this blanket of darkness
Very soon we make our downward descent
From these lofty heights one fluffy dark cloud at a time
City lights begin to permeate this comforting gloom
How thankful I am to be in awe of Your wonders :)

Keep it hot!

Just a few days ago, a friend of mine was lamenting about keeping it hot between her and her man and balancing all that with work and kids. It was more like a complaint about monotony of being in a monogamous relationship. It kind of made me sad for a minute but I guess to a certain extent it can be a little tedious for luck of trying to keep the romance alive. She said "We dated for five years and have been married the rest". I have my personal opinions but I wonder what other people think? What has kept people going? What are some of the resources out there? Over the past few months, these websites( love actually and the intimate couple ) have been great resources for me.

Sometimes, some of the suggestions from these helpful tools may seem pretty trivial and even silly but I figure with the amount of effort I put in at work, if I try to put that much into my marriage, I can't go wrong at all :) I hope everyone is having a great week! Blessings!

Obsessive compulsion

Has any thought ever consumed your whole being so much so that it is all you can think about day in and day out? The idea or thought or feeling just plagues you to the point where you are absolutely and completely blinded by anything else and even when you are able to think clearly, it is not without glimpses of the very idea/thought clouding your vision! No? No one has ever had that happen to them? Oh boy, I'm in trouble then! hahaha

By the way, hair update coming soon! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, refer to this post. Hope everyone is having an amazing week! Blessings!

The Walk

She sashays, she sways

Head high, no lye

They stare, at her hair

She cares less, for their guess

She sashays, she sways

One step, no misstep

Determined, to be awakened

Life anew, as she grew

She sashays, she sways

His providence, her new confidence

Just as she is, that is His biz

The Creator’s translator

She sashays, she sways

Head high, as they come nigh

They wonder, at her personality

She ponders, it’s a mentality

She sashays, she sways

Slight grin on her face

She is here to stay

Within His grace

Back to the basics

I've been reminded again of what my life's focus has been these past few years. Ever heard of the saying "the will of God will never take You where the grace of God will not protect you"? What does it really mean to be in the will of God. We always pray "Your will be done on earth..." but do we ever mean it in that sense?

I think most people are usually hung up on the notion that surely their will is their God's will and ofcourse He wants for them whatever they want. Some of my favorite verses in the Bible include the part where Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane before the betrayal and crucifixion. In Luke 22:42 he asked his father if this intended fate could be taken away from him but the most amazing part is that he prayed "not my will but Yours be done". Aren't you glad he let the father's will be done? Otherwise you and I know that our salvation will for sure not have been complete!

I have been so put off lately by the kind of prosperity preaching and inspirational mantras thrown around by preachers lately. Some of them make it seem like if you go through a difficulty in this life then God has failed you. Seriously! When are we going to return to our manual for life (mine's the Bible) and realize that His grace is sufficient for us and in times of difficulty we can proudly say with conviction "I know it seems like my whole world is crumbling right now, yet Your will be done?" Even if I don't see any positives right now, yet will I praise You because it's in Your will for me to be in this moment, right now.

Just wondering if you have thought about His Will and if you are in His will at all.

Feline Life

I was reading a book (The Ambler Warning- Robert Ludlum) and came accross the saying "Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought her back". Now that just made my smile very broad indeed!

Alright people, time of the year to make sure you're feeling your TATAS for lumps and bumps before you leave home with them pumped up! I know to some of you this is quite a foreign notion but if you don't know what to look out for, how can you know if there's something that's not supposed to be there? Go ahead and take care of them boobies :) Get curious about them and you might end up saving your life!

Let's Eat Cake

Another year is here

Haven't even thought about eating cake

I want some anti-aging eye cream

And perhaps a botox injection or two
Trying to slow down this process

Maybe I'll give Priscilla Presley some competition

But really what good will those do me?

If some soul searching has not taken place...

Have I lived the year as best as I could

Did I give of myself as much as I could

Deep thoughts and prvocative questions

Hmm... I'll by all means have some cake :)
