They have been married for two years. He loves literature and often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever reads them. He is also into photography and he handles their wedding photos. He loves her very much. Likewise with her. She has a quick temper and always bullies him. He is a gentleman and always gives in to her.
Today, she's being willful again.
Her: "Why can't you be the photographer for my friend's wedding? She promised she'd pay."
Him: "I don't have time that day."
Her: "Humph!"Him: "Huh?"Her: "Don't have time? Write less of those novels, and you will have all the time you need."
Him: "I... someone will definitely recognize my work some day."
Her: "Humph! I don't care, you'll have to do it for her!"
Him: "No."
Her: "Just this once?"
Him: "No."
Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."
First day, she "withheld" the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, hi-fi... Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence".
Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets.
Second day, she conducted a raid and removed everything from his pockets and warned, "Seek any external help, and you bear the consequences."
He's nervous now. That night, on the bed, he begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees.
Third day, night. On the bed. He's lying on the bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side.
Him: "We need to talk."
Her: "Unless it's about the wedding, forget it."
Him: "It's something very important."
She remains silent.
Him:"Let's get a divorce."
She did not believe her ears.
Him: "I got to know a girl."
She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through yesterday. How careless.
Him: "She's a nice girl."
Her tears fell.
Him: "She has a good personality too."
She's heartbroken because he puts a photo of some other girl close to his heart.
Him: "She says that she'll support me fully in my pursue for literature after we got married."
She's very jealous because she said the same thing in the past.
Him: "She loves me truly."
She wishes to sit up and scream at him "Don't I?"
Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do."
She's thinking, but the rage won't subside.
Him: "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?"
Her: "...!"
He brings the photo before her eyes. She's in a total rage, hits his hand away and leaves a burning slap on his face.
He sighs. She cries.He puts the photo back to his pocket. She pulls her hand back under the blanket.
He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns on the light, and sits up. He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets treating him the way she treated him.
She cried again, and thought about a lot of things. She wants to wake him up. She wants to have a intimate talk with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore. She stares at his chest. She wants to see how the girl looks.
She slips the photo out. She wanted to cry and she wanted to laugh.
It's a nicely taken photo. A photo he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek.
He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep.
"You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
so sweet=)
im so dead for forensic tmr. had 2days mc. feels better now aft slpg so much and err. shoppg w my sis tdy. HAH. we cmi. hahaha.. okay back to criminalistics,fingerprints,dna,evidence,psychology,drugs,etc etccccccc!!
its all about trust.
so ironic. haha
i'm pissed w some ppl and some stuff. period.
anyway why do ppl change. okay forensic psych lecturer said tt our personalities change with time but our core personality doesnt. so even when the core starts changing, izzit a sign that the person is no longer who you think he/she is or ever was? deep thoughts which requires no answers.
worldly ppl are realistic. Godly ppl are holistic.
strive towards being a holistic person rather den a realistic one. yeah.
bsf fellowship was gd today. enjoyed the time spent with my dg=) the hymm What a friend we had in Jesus was simply...magnificent. =) Jehovah Jireh!

i need:
ALOT of strength
ALOT of sleepless nights
ALOT of energy
ALOT of time
and
ALOT of wisdom.
thankyou.
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

a really meaningful song. i cant seem to upload the song onto my blog but ppl you all can go listen to it k? its really nice. go to you tube and type in: Via Dolorosa and click on the first video. you shld b able to hear this song le! its Good Friday tdy.. Good Friday is a time to remember how Christ suffered for us. He did nothing wrong yet He suffered for us all. He was crucified on the cross so that He can save us from our sins yet many of us still deny Him and all the goodness of it all. Christ loves us so much that He is willing to go thru it all. the song above really depicts the greatness of Christ. It reminds us that whatever that we may b going thru is really incomparable to wad he went thru. we deserve wad we're going thru but He didn't. God always haf a plan for us all and its the best plan that we'll nv realise till we rely and trust in Him. He will not put us thru something He knows we cant get thru. If we cant get thru, He's teaching us to learn how to rely and trut in Him at ALL times.
Thank You God.
For everything and anything.

forensic has SO MUCH to mug for. killing meeeeeeeeeeeee! jiayous lydialim! God will help you! yeah yeah! :D
was doing bsf homework earlier and met a few thought-provoking questions. felt really happy when i managed to get the answer since it was a
challenge question. muahaha! nv really thought abt why Jesus wanted to go thru baptism by John the Baptist who only performed a physical act of faith through the "cleansing" of our physical self due to our sins which Jesus nv ever had. It was quite cool looking through the different opinions on the internet (somehow, the internet is really a great technology! hehe) anyway, been learning and gaining more thru the daily devotions and i must say, i feel rejuvenated and stronger =) slowly but increasingly. yes! at least i wun fall into satan's trap so easily. will ponder more and think thru rationally. of cuz worldly self still here but slowly eroding. lookg fwd to when my worldly self is completely eroded. haha free from Godless chatters, quarrels, unhappiness, bitterness etc. anyway friends whom i've complained to at times pls bear w me k! think im either pms-ing or the stress of exams is again creeeeeeeping into me! boo! haha.

BLEHHHHH. i think i nid to invent some pill which will help me in sustaining myself w/o ANY sleep! den suddenly i'll haf too much time. whahahahaha! :D tt was crap. okay this will b e post of the week liao unless i haf more to post =) hehe

i ripped this off somebody's blog:
i started to realize the many whys many a times.
i think i might actually be a boy.
living in a girl's body.
sumseng and chor lor
unrestrictive and egoistic
stubborn and just trying to be strong.
sometimes i ask myselfwhy am i not interested
in being like those girls on stage
and why i dun compare about beauty products
and complain about my complexion etc
why do i not like burberry or LV or coach
why do i not go for pageants or try to be a model
are these what girls should do?
be weak and be taken care of?
be submissive and let guys shower attention on?
i dunno.
i do have my weak times too
i do appreciate gentlemen behaviour
and i like those moments of care and attention too..
but i think i am not much of that kind of girl
which i think is also the reason
why some guys dun give as big a deal abt girls like me
dun care whether they are really chui when they fall
and dun bother trying to be
it's not that 'worth it'
lesser effort needed hor?
isn't it sad to realize this?
***
how true is that but that's how this world works. its okay.. cuz i shldnt live w accordance to worldly expectations. just live the way God expects me to, that will mk me a happier person.
the world will fail you, but God will not.
the world will disappoint you, but God will not.
the world will fade, but God's love will not.
thankyou God =)
ps: a sweet and lovely surprise from san jose,california. HENGFAI rocks =) *mmmuuaaaccckkssss* luRbyoudeepdeep! +500! haha
yays. =) at peace. thanks my guardian angel!
time to improve and time to work on it. yes!
so much has happened but so much has ended. temporarily or permanently. we never know. that's how life is which makes it oh-so-tiresome but yet so bittersweet at the end of the day. trust is a double-edged sword that knows no boundaries. but God has nv gave up on me. not even when i sin or wadsoever. God helped me up, comforted me and always stayed there for me. He gave me endless chances. How can i even condemn a friend who was so dear to me. a fren whom i've trusted and believed. a fren who was there for me when i was down. a fren who shared my joy tears and laughter. it aint that easy to just end things there and then.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.1 Corinthians 13:4-8God loves us w mercy w no boundaries. I shld learn to do that too. Yes i shld.
in Him i trust.
Thank you, God.
I know what to do le =)
