wow hello again. I am here. I have to be honest, 99% of my posts never turn out to be what I planned to write about. Nevertheless, I post them anyway. so here I am again. and I am trying to figure out how to "make my pitch" for last minute internship applications - before you blame me for the procrastination - it is a weekend and it will not be seen till Sunday evening. so sit tight and read thanks.
so here I am. wow, just feeling so amazed and surprised that everything amounted to this. that everything amounted to a single piece of paper with all your qualifications on it (your résumé). how did we end up to be like this? how did humanity mutually agree that this single piece of paper should determine your career path, or to be more dramatic, your life. a career is no doubt a major life decision because it paves your life. having a career that makes one miserable can definitely make his or her life miserable altogether. so, tell me, how did we resort to this? I have always thought that life, today, is absolutely absurd. we study and work hard for a decade to get into a decent university. then, we slave even harder and pay fees that our parents can never afford. in return, we get a single sheet of paper in hopes of finding a dream job. so honestly, why does it have to be this way?
better yet, why do people who study business end up in engineering companies? why do people who are doctors, give the years of studying to paint? why do lawyers end up making music? so where do I fit in then? will I ever use my major? so many questions, yet I have never felt so demeaned, to have to want to make my pitch in hopes that someone will offer me an internship or better yet a job.
humans, maybe we should rethink what our system is made off. how does a single piece of paper control our lives? in the mean time, since this system has been running the world for a long, long time, I will cease with my absurd rants and live with the system - till I find one that works better.
why all these thoughts? I am so sure, I do not want a job that pays me well. I want to make my pitch, but not to multi million corporate companies who couldn't care more for the world's problems. I want to make my pitch, to this world, and the precious lives it holds. I want to make my pitch to the poor and hungry, the unloved and the ones searching for the real meaning in life.
oh well, I think it is time. to stop procrastinating.
till then.

Delusional
Wow.
Sometimes happiness can come in a cup of milo. Sometimes happiness can come when your guy friends watch Chick Flicks with you.
make your pitch!

fridays
fridays are the best. best are the fridays.
you can choose to do homework, or leave it for the weekend, this means sleeping is an option, or in my case, conveniently talking to your family. They are both travelling back to join those already back home. Everyone is going to see my grandmothers and I am so excited.
Growing up I never realized how much time flies by, Next thing you know, you grow taller than your grandmother, then, they start getting sick occasionally. When scares like really bad fevers or injuries happen, you just are in awe. Because while you're busy living life, they are living too. Sometimes, we just don't take enough time to actually realize that they are there, as alive as we are. We often live life so selfishly and honestly, I really loved getting to know my grandmothers these few years.
The craziest thing is that they were there through it all. Your first cry, your first tooth, your first word. You name it, both my grandmothers were there. Can you imagine them seeing you grow to who you are today? Kind of surreal if you ask me, but we are some sort of a reminder to them, markers of their lives. I really just hope I did them proud.
Because if you ask me, I don't think I will ever spend as much time with them as I wish. I just hope that whatever time we have, I hope it will be the best yet.
wow, how did that go to this? okay bye.

Worship night with Bethel, live at OKC
Wow, I honestly did not expect anything from the worship night. But man, God always works in ways you never expect huh? Recently, with the widespread move of the CCM and Christian Concerts, I have often wondered if having (Christian band) concerts make us any different than a normal band's concert. Well, I got my answer tonight. In the second picture, you can see that possibly two cellphones are out - recording and taking pictures. Sitting at the very top, I could see every person with their phones out. Often, I have never counted more than ten. This was such a sweet simple reminder for me. I've been to several non Christian concerts and the whole time, everyone was just trying to get the nicest pictures or videos. Tonight was different, every one was there to worship. Also, the song leaders were intentionally directing all the glory and praise away from themselves.
Personally, Bethel has been a huge encouragement. One thing I love about them is how sincere and pure their songs are. Of course, how intentional every artist in Bethel is about giving the glory and worship to God really makes them so so humble. I was in awe of how amazing their vocals were, every one of them!
It blows me away.
These power vocals honestly, simply amazing. I would not doubt for a second that if they were in the mainstream music career they would be as amazing as Adele or Taylor Swift. No doubt record labels will be offering them a life of comfort. Yet, they know that they have the biggest contract of all time. No matter how uncomfortable it makes them fee, I bet they know that they are singing to the one who deserves it all. With hindsight of who Jesus means and all He has done for us, they have the ability to look beyond fame and wealth and store up on a different currency. Indeed, they are undoubtedly rich, just not in this this earthly currency, but in the eternal currency.
It still blows me away.
I am blown away at how young people all over the world are so willing to say yes, to Carry The Love, to Worship and to the life of being a rad Jesus follower. No matter the cause, or the value of contribution. This generation is more connected than ever and this empowers us to reach far and wide, beyond any other generation. This generation is so ready to say YES and go forward, never looking back. To make his name be known.
Wow.
I am still blown away.
