Life's Journey with God

The Little Prince This animation is really beautiful with a combination of stop motion incorporated into the film. The message itself was really heartfelt and I was truly pulled in by the emotional aspect of the story. Growing up to be an adult can really cause us to loose our inner child in us. Through this film, we are reminded that there shouldn't be a mould or rather a specific set of characteristics for us to be a successful adult. Without the childlike approach in us to things, there would be no happiness, no creativity, no meaning in life whatsoever. This story also helps explain really well the transition of life, of how we can learn to let someone dear to us go peacefully knowing that they are still with us in our minds, in our memories. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." To look beyond the physical and know that what is important lies truly in the heart. This animation really brought tears to m...

Nowadays I tend to write lesser and lesser. Maybe it's because I don't see the need to or maybe it's because I'm just too lazy. Either way, for the past few months especially in the second half of semester 3, I felt this great disconnect between my friends and I. I no longer felt the need or want to hang out with them perhaps due to the fact that my interest has flown to another place, church. I spent most of my time there at that time, occupying myself with daily mass, meetings, practices, and spending time with this one person that I've grown too attached to. Looking back now, I still have that bit of disconnect but it's progressing steadily. Knowing how much they appreciate me and will be there for me through the letters they wrote in July kinda reassured me and helped me realize that I'm just being selfish if I don't acknowledge them. I also received a journal-sorta-book from them and have been writing in it but have now consistently forgetting to wr...

Recently I went to Melaka during the Raya holidays with my fambam (which includes my extended family). I brought my prime lens with me because I wanted to travel light and ever since I got that lens, having even the kit lens with me feels heavy. Due to the restricted distance of the lens (50mm but with a crop sensor, it makes it almost 80mm), it was hard to actually take pictures of things near me and being the "thrifty" person I was, I didn't want to pay almost double the amount to get a DX lens (auto focus) so I have to make do with this manual focus lens. It isn't too bad and in fact, I love it especially for videos. I shot random footage while walking around the streets of Jonker till at one point, I became so tired I decided to screw it and just focus on finding food to eat amidst the waves of human. Whose smart idea was it to go on the first day of Raya?  So with the little that I had, I compiled and edited it into this short recap video. I think having ...

For all those who wished me on social media throughout today, thank you. Your kind thoughts were well received. :) This year I decided that no, no more putting my birth date on Facebook for everyone to see, no more seeking for attention as if the number of posts I get for my birthday would determine how much people care about me. No. It's time to grow and to leave these little things I hold on to, step-by-step. I definitely appreciate all the posts I get this time around cause it's so little and I don't have to go through so many repetitive ones. Some things are worth posting for memories: 1) 12am (and first) wish!   **Plus a hangout today! Thank you for the celebration babe.   2) Didn't need Facebook to tell you when my birthday was. So proud of you. :') 3) Finally a legit post on Insta with this pretty girl (after so darn long). 4) A cute and funny (because of what you said, Sam) video from the gang at McD. 5) A heartfelt note and gift which r...

Hai blog aku! Lama tak jumpa~ Ahaha so it has been two months since I've opened and viewed this blog. Definitely felt longer though. I think one of the main reason I haven't resulted in going to blogspot to dump my feelings is because there was less of a need to find a place to write everything down when I have someone I can talk to, face to face, as having physical connection is definitely better. So today I had another meeting with the CDM youth ministry again. Always happy to see them and wow, it really was a surprise that they actually baked a cake, sang song for me, and gave me presents at the end of it. Special thanks to Steph for the oreo cake and the gift, and to Nat, my buddy, for the card and the obvious 'what cakes do you like' questions. ♥ Ps: Tastes better than it looks. A well-needed SD card for my phone. Ahahaha One thing it dawned on me was that I think for the longest time I've always wanted my friends to celebrate my birthday with m...

Faith; something so small but yet so powerful. My faith have been through so many ups and downs, so much so that sometimes, it's hard to get back on track, to follow the path God has designed for me. I am grateful for the many helping hands along the way. To have people guiding me and journeying with me. I am afraid. Afraid of the road ahead but I take comfort in His words: “Do not be afraid." Photo source: Cassie Pease Designs I want to be able to serve Him with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. I want to be His faithful child and disciple. As Martin shared, GPS is the most important thing, the way to a true relationship with God. G od's Word P rayer S acraments Recently, my emotions have been going everywhere, but my mind tries to rationalize everything. How does the heart connect to the mind? One is designed to feel, while the other is designed to think and solve, to make sense of everything. Where do they meet? I reall...

Heyyyy! It's been awhile since I updated anything. Last year have been an amazing year, through which I have grown from the many experiences. I feel like confidence is no longer a major issue. Back then, I used to answer interviewers that confidence would be my downfall. Well I think the most change I've gotten out of the year is from Performing Arts. It really gave me a platform to express myself and mess around. It was one of the few memorable memories I have. Of course, Innovative Media was also enjoyable. I remember going for more classes than was needed because Miss Suz was just a bundle of joy herself. Of course, what we did in that class was also fun but in a different kind of way. Sem 2 was the epiphany of 2015. In a way it was stress-free because there was joy in what we did. I think I understand when people say passion will never be a burden. The people that I've surrounded myself with have turn to mean a lot to me. I never would've thought that I'll be ...
