beautiful disaster

I'm sorry Electrico, my brother took your CD which I borrowed from Dan and went and ripped it, so now it's going to be permanently stuck in our computer. I might buy it if it grows on me though.

I think the prospect of not shopping when I know there are post-Christmas sales going on is good motivation for me to finish up my holiday homework. I vowed not to buy anything until I completed my essays and I am proud to say that I completed one essay today (with a lot of help from Wen) , so I just have one-hundredth of an essay (the essay plan, which I really should have written before my really crappy essay) to go.

The days have been good, in spite of homework, a few disappointments and some hurts. God has been good and He's been giving me things to be thankful for every day. I'm really beginning to see how good He is when you take a step of faith, and I hope this continues.

Met Elgina and Josiah in the library today. Come Friday I will be at the Humanz (ugh, I wish there were a nicer way of spelling it) Christmas/New Year's party in an attempt to ease myself back into school and humanities. It was quite fun doing work with them even though we barely spoke in the 2 hours we were together.

Went for Zarbie's (aka Joel aka Daniel's baby aka some Liverpool player whose name I cannot spell) birthday party yesterday and met Sophia Tee, Mrs. Tee's daughter (though she doesn't know I know that), and found out that she was also in Humanities! She graduated 2 years ago and is studying in Northwestern now. She hated Humanities, and when she told me that I felt strangely comforted. I really wanted to speak more with her but she'll be leaving for the US on the 1st. Still, it was nice meeting her.

Y'know, Daniel, when I was a little kid my parents used to throw me these huge birthday parties where they invited tonnes of their friends. I used to hate them because I didn't know any of these people, and wasn't it supposed to be my birthday? I guess they gave me good presents, though. Still, you might want to think about this when Zarbie gets a little older and more aware of his surroundings.

Till then, everyone will continue staring, poking and messing around with him because he really is the cutest baby around.

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
