perks i'm smiling n grinning n the world is happy! well, temporarily, anyway (i meant me, not the world). here's a few things that perked me up quite a bit (but they've all got nothing to do with me):
speaking of tests n assignments n stuff, i relly felt like i got a personal present from god when i got back my feature outline 1 on wednesday (for my feature writing class). i remember doing it pretty last minute a few wks back...on the last day itself, n i was feeling relly desperate n praying all the time, asking god what he wanted me to write about. i finally agreed on what he suggested to mind, though i didn't relly have faith i cud pull it off. i decided to do a feature on Gen12ii, which is an upcoming Crusade mission trip project i'll be taking part in. i relly expected to get an F...but when i got the paper back, i felt relly touched by what god did for me...i mean i felt god in a personal way, a sort of way which i don't remember experiencing yet. i expected to fail n i got a C for it....n i got minus-ed by a few marks summore cos i handed it in late that day....n i still got a C. i cudn't believe it. it relly got my heart....it was like God handed me a buncha flowers with a card inside that said "I love you (or i jus wanna do something nice for you). Love, God." i felt relly touched. i kinda forgot about it until i took it out of my bag tonite n looked at it....it's a real miracle, cos i wasn't even sure how the lecturer marking my paper was going to take a religious feature like that. i mean i tried to address it in an objective way, but it had obvious religious undertones. i thanked god immediately...but no one else relly knew or understood how i felt, cos they didn't feel what i felt. i think things like these are good to recall....it keeps me going in the race towards the end goal where god is. another thing that's new bout my life i guess is the fact that i've been sleeping with the NYP toy starfish since the day i got it on their open house on wednesday. n anyone who noes me noes that i don't usually take to stuffed toys. but this was one of the rare exceptions. to tell the truth, actually when i saw the starfish packaged in plastic in my goodie bag i was like, great, a stuffed toy. are they trying to cut budget or win the hearts of secondary school girls? but later as i took it home n opened the plastic packaging n felt it.....wow immediately i knew i wanted to keep it cos it felt so squeezable...n it fit the size of my hand jus rite, for squeezing. its inside wasn't made out of those stupid hard fur those cheap stuffed toys are made of; its inside felt like little balls of styrofoam put together. later my mom told me those were actually little balls containing sand inside...i dunno if she's rite, but whatever it is, it feels so nice to squeeze...n it wud fit in just right in one of my fren's cars...n he's a guy. but he has all these nice plush things to cuddle at the back seat....n one of them feels almost like how my NYP starfish feels like, the inside contents i mean. |
