diary from a fishbowl
she's stubborn, she's neurotic, she's obsessive. she's fun, she's giggly, she's spontaneous. she's a fighter she's a slacker. she's kind, she's mean. she's your heaven she's your hell.

almost lover
a qn i always wanted to ask you but i'm not sure i would want to know the answer. its a qn tt has long lost its moment, but it still bugs me from time to time.
we were not quite...anything. not quite ... anything. there really isnt a word to describe it.
on the surface we are still friends... i guess. and tho hints of the old times do surface, i guess its better this way.
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind, images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes, clever trick
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me in the shade
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget these images, no
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot try the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk
Right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Why can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

rise of Christ in China
its been quite a while since i read e whole newspaper so somehow it took Marcos to tell me abt it before i frantically fished it out of the recycling pile. if i still had pets, confirm wld have become their bedding liao.
this is GOLD. i was totally beaming as i read thru it even though a part of my mind was wondering if the writers and editor were christian.
i mean, it took 7 pages of the Saturday paper.
of course its an intriguing read. facts that are of interest to people from all walks of life, be they Christian or not, Chinese or not.
page 6&7
bikau just sent an email to us detailing the conversion of two more families to Christ after a healing miracle of one of the man's leg. i only briefly skimmed thru e email cos i was on the mrt and i had like 100+++ mails to read... but my instant thought was: why dont i see that in my church? why dont i see that in my life?
and reading abt the Church in China growing, 5 turning to 50, in the snow, with no roof.
people singing with gusto but in hushed tones so as not to provoke neighbors...
and, well, i dont see growth around me. we in our air-coned hall. maybe i'm blind, maybe growth is not just in numbers, maybe, maybe, maybe we're too comfortable.
maybe i'm too comfortable. i am.
i dont deny that i'm born V privileged. i knew that even before Nepal smacked me in e face.
but nv have i been so embarrassed abt having all that i have.
and jealous abt not having what these Christians in Nepal and China have.
where is my treasure?
the book Being a Contagious Christian has something interesting in Chapter 2...
it suggested putting "soon to be burned" on possessions.
that includes talents, looks, smarts, career, bgrs, , ,
and ... people whom i love.
it is urgent.
Jesus in the rice fields, Jesus in the office, Jesus in the home.
is it like that for me? well, i do try, just need to try... erm... harder.
i could not find any online version of the article, so here's e close-ups for those who want to read them :)
