I just remembered that I also want a cross necklace.

The truth really sets people free.
It's not that He doesn't listen, it's not that He doesn't care. My mind had to be changed, my soul had to be prospered.
Yesterday was the turning point.
It does not matter how people see me, what matters is how He sees me.
Everything seems meaningless compared to knowing about His infinite goodness and love.
It will take an eternity to really know Him and His grace - it's best to start now.

I have always been easily contented. I have always been easy to please.
I remember that as a small kid, I would fashion men, eagle-men, cat-men, scorpion-men, crab-men, monkey-men, and rabbit-men out of scraps of paper. I took pride in making them and I had a lot of fun playing with them. (If you're curious as to how I can come up with those just pass me a small square scrap of paper and I'll gladly make any shape you like.)
Now that I think about it, that's pretty weird. But I had fun nonetheless.
That's beside the point. As I was saying, I am easily contented.
That is why I think I'm starting to grow up now that I can finally say that I want something other than a video game.
I think what I am about to do is a milestone in the history of my life. I am going to list down the things that I want.
1. A keychain or any small accessory for my handphone. Mr. Bean/screen cleaner keychain needs to retire.
2. A keychain or any small accessory for my PSP case. Shark/bottle opener is really too heavy.
(for both items 1 and 2, anime designs are preferred)
3. A new pair of blue jeans. Any nice pair. I don't go for branded, as long as I can wear and it will not tear.
4. A pair of black jeans just because I think it's cool.
5. A good sized waterbottle. Not too big. I don't need a water barrel. Not too small either. It has to be professional yet sporty looking - it's for drinking in the office.
6. An easy to use and effective learn-to-speak-conversational-Mandarin computer software. I saw one some time ago from Popular. They also have Japanese. =D
7. Nickelback - Silver Side Up Album
8. Nickelback - All the Right Reasons Album
(although I have both on my com *cough* *pirate* *cough* I want to get the albusm because it's the right thing to do)
9. Nickelback - The Long Road
10. Nickelback - The State
(basically all Nickelback albums, these two I haven't tried downloading *cough* *pirate* *cough*)
11. A laptop. I don't need one now though. For future use.
12. A new acoustic guitar.
13. Either a new bicycle or Van Helsing back.
It looks like a crappy list. I need some more growing up to do.
14. To see you smile. I guess that will do for now.

I have to start following my own advice.

Reality
Reality.
Things change.
Change is sometimes unexpected but sometimes it's not so surprising either.
Fiction.
Things change.
Change is expected but sometimes it's surprising too.
Haha. That is me trying to be profound. I believe that most profound things are actually new clothes of the emperor.
I.e. If you don't understand them then you are an idiot but in actuality it really does not make sense.
-----
Dad is back. Back for good.
Working for a new company. The company gave him a set of wheels.
He now drives this mean-looking black van which I shall dub the name Emmel because it looks so freaking cool it just has to have a name. The full name is Emmel Bev which is derived from the phonetics of the letters M.L.B.V. (mean-looking black van)
-----
Ah, yes, I remember why I wanted to talk about reality; truth to be more precise.
Sometimes it's easy to be in denial because sometimes the truth is too troublesome to accept. I tend to be caught up in denial that it becomes hard to get anywhere.
I have often denied to myself that I could be so fickle-minded. I have often denied to myself of how I felt.
But truth is a very potent in liberation.
I acknowledge that feelings are a part of life. It's not wrong to have them neither should they influence how I live my life.
I acknowledge that I am still immature and I'm entitled to being fickle-minded. I have a lot of time to grow.
I acknowledge that I like rock songs (soft ones) and emo songs. Justin Timberlake's songs are actually quite catchy.
Reality check.
