" It is said that the church has only one aim: to produce 'saints,' people who reflect the image and goodness of God in everyday life. " -- from the Word in other words book

*** last sunday, i miss the morning mass because a client came too early... so went to hear the 4pm mass instead... arrived early... novena prayers, people just started to fill in... love the quiet! and the afternoon sunlight! felt blessed already and the mass hasn't even started yet... :)

***dad planted a rambutan tree a year (or so) ago… it gave its first fruits recently… sorry… first time to see the actual fruit in the tree… used to just buy some from the market… just too excited about our yard’s bio-diversity.

this week’s quiet is different from last week’s/ like a hole in the heart yet not quite/ we get extra sleep/ but thoughts wide awake/ we can chose our own playlist/ but can’t hear through the static/ but must keep on keeping on/ what ain’t heard/ is there in the air/ what ain’t seen/ is up in the sky/ storms may be brewing/ another battle just beginning/ shabba shield up/ armor on/ ready for whatever/ however daunting/must carry on/

"you're a painting with symbols deep/ symphony/ soft as it shifts from dark beneath/ a poem that flows/ caressing my skin/ in all of these things you reside and I/ want you flow from the pen/ bow and brush/ with paper and string/ and canvas tight/ with ink in the air/ to dust your light/ from morning to the black of night/ "
--- Sixpence none the richer, Melody of you

*** music from my past came knocking at my door today... first from keane... now from sixpence... they'll be here for a while... (it is throwback thursday after all ... aww... i miss the dollhouse.) anyhow, these songs remind me of where i was many, many, many months back... and comparing... i must say... i'm in a diff level now... (naks!) the sky today ain't as beautiful as it was last sunday... (but the picture here is the afternoon sky last sunday)... the wind came out and play for a while... if only to tell me that all is well... and reminded me too, that my flickr eye has been opened once again... and that i should infuse shabba eyes with it as well... meaning... i need more than another memory card for my camera... i also need one for my heart... go figure. :) <3 j
