the joys of just being there

Just sitting in my room, listening to the radio playing.
For a time, i had felt this nagging feeling to switch it off. that irritating technology that somehow just gets noisy when u wanna have peace of mind, or just wanna clear ur mind.

So i did. i tried not turning it on the minute i reached home. it worked. Wonders.
For a while.
BUT, i want that serenity more.
Music from nature. like how sitting at the bus stop without your earphones/handphone, and just taking it all in.
U hear the birds chirping, u see the colour of the skies, u start to see and appreciate the grand wonder that is around u.

Even more so, yesterday, when I attended my first Latin Mass, and the choir was just voices. no organ/piano/etc/... just beautiful voices. How beautiful it is.

quietly peaceful and happy, i think, this is what it must have felt like, to be in a world where there was no advanced technology. :)

 Lovely. Flowers grow with the sun, and rain, and the earth.
So why are we humans so needlessly noisy, when a flower can grow, and blossom, and captivate your senses so perfectly without so much as uttering a word?

We should have that grace as well, and hopefully, the world will be a better place. :)

Eventful and insightful

Amazing day!
I woke up, feeling a bit distressed, cos i felt like going out was gonna get me more confused, more doubts.

Nevertheless, i went up and abt my daily routine, and i dunno why, had a sudden urge to pray the rosary.
I did not manage to complete it though, now i wish i had... I was worried i would be late.

I came back, scanned my emails, and found out that WOW!
i had received an email stating that TODAY, JUNE 27, 2011 is the feast of our lady of perpetual help!

How amazing it is. Mother Mary must have been asking me to pray!!! 
She is so kind. :)

Attached is the email content... 
Everyone who reads this post, please continue praying on every June 27, for peace in the world and return of moral values to our world...:) 



CARRY YOUR ROSARY EVERYDAY
 When you carry a Rosary, Satan has a headache.
 When you use it, he collapses.
 When he sees you praying it, he faints.
 Let us pray the rosary every time, so that he'll keep fainting.
 Maybe one day, he'll have a stroke and never be able to work.


Did you also know that when you are about to forward this message, Satan will try to discourage you?
 Forward it anyway and help hasten the triumph of Mama Mary!
 Send this to your prayerful friends and see how the Holy Spirit works!
 There is a great deal to gain and absolutely nothing to lose! 
 Imagine what might happen if every Catholic in the world would pray a Rosary on the same day! We have an example in October of 1573, when Europe was saved from the invasion of the mighty Turkish fleet, by the praying of the Rosary by all Christians!
 So, on June 27  2011, the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, let us all pray a Rosary for peace in the world and the return of moral values into our communities and our country. 

 Also, please e-mail this message to every Catholic on your address list, and ask them to pass it along to every Catholic on their lists. Let's unite in praying one of the most powerful prayers in existence, for these intentions, on one of the holiest days in our Church year.
 God bless us all!

been a long hot day.
Weeks of intense heat again, this time of the year.
I love that He works in mysterious ways.

Just grateful, and thankful for all He has given me.

Strength to be happy, to leave the yesterdays behind me, and let Him do his magic.

First attempt!!!

I went to get myself some air dry modelling clay to get a feel for clay sculpting..
Surfed the net and found some pretty good sites for starters, and ta-da!!!
 after 2 hours, not including air-drying time, my first achievement!!!

Will continue trying to create other models.

Currently working on a giraffe and a pig, inspired by my key chains.
