distraction
by MelloLover on Deviantart.com--> 'just a doodle' doesn't begin to describe this (!!!)
I really can't wait for the holidays to begin
Sketchpad's ever before me
Itchy itchy
Gotta stah-dee
today
Yay! =) My tuition kid's out of her doldrums - it was amazing seeing the change in her. I remember when I had to spend a couple of sessions counselling and assuring her and her mother, that things would work out for the better... I definitely went out from there wondering if I could handle the extraneous responsibilities this tuition job seemed to require of me! I don't know what changed her mind - but I know that every good tuition session happened because I'd pray before I knocked on the door - be it outside at the lift lobby (Hoping no one suddenly popped out!) or in the MRT.
It's not that I LOVE teaching. But I think anyone with a love for something, like Dixon and his designs, Cel with her acting, Mic with her basketball, Tim with his love for marine life... you won't need to know how to teach, to want to impart some of your passion to someone. And I definitely feel strongly that no one should 'fail' in life, just because they may not be scoring well or can't grasp English.
Anyway, I'm just psyched that things are improving. =)
Something else happened today that really got me thinking. An elderly man came up to me straight at the bus interchange and asked for money, in very cultured English! "Excuse me, could you spare me $2?"
"Sorry, I don't have $2 (this is the honest truth!)"
"$1?"
Ok, I had that - and here's what got me. I said "No." And immediately felt horrid. I went home on the bus wondering why I should be feeling this way - he's able-bodied, definitely stronger than men I've seen slaving away as gardeners and cleaners; why should he do nothing and get something?
And I remembered Paul Scanlon's 15 minute revolution.
I wondered why why why my visceral response could be opposite from what I mean to do. It brought to mind how we've been taught to plan, to make decisions and adopt attitudes in anticipation of circumstances and things cropping up as opposed to reacting. It also brought to mind a certain verse Jang scribbled on my noticeboard, about hope and the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes opinions are formed and decisions made without conscious deliberation. That's how one grows hardened in the face of all the information and events happening. Well, if anything, it's a lesson learnt! =o)

Time:1228
I think it's a gift when you want time to slow down and it really does. I wish it would slow down now - that I could zone out and be happy not doing anything but really, only 5 minutes have gone by.
Anyway, I definitely can't wait for holidays to begin. Haha.. they're the reason why I always look forward to exams - just get it over with already! But this sem's really been one of the better ones.. good profs, relevant classes & more time hanging out with my classmates & more time to be a student. Lol..

The world lies at the feer of the disciplined.
.
Everyone dreams. But only the disciplined will accomplish theirs.
.
A dream without discipline is the pathway to frustration, anger and deep disappointment.
.
Even a dream from God has no guarantee it will come to pass.
.
Success of the dream demands discipline.
.
Start disciplined, stay disciplined, finish disciplined!
.
Disciplines are the way of life.
.
Morals, finances, attitudes, emotions, relationships, work, devotions; all require discipline to be healthy and successful!

If we can come through this age learning what's important in the end, then it's all worth it.

One Life to Love
He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Until he started praying for a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed
He tells his wife, "I wish that this moment in this room,
Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you."
You only get just one time around
You only get one shot at this
One chance, to find out
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
One day when it's all said and sone
I hope you see that it was enough, this
One ride, one try, one life to love
She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left
Till she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed
The end of the road
The sun has set on her big plans
To feel young again
She picks up the phone, dials the number
Hears that little voice
that's haunted every single mile
since she made that choice
Until he started praying for a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed
He tells his wife, "I wish that this moment in this room,
Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you."
