the Serenity prayer

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

New features aside, i want to drop by my old "home"... just like dropping by ur old elementary school or a place which holds a special meaning in your heart... Also, i want to greet everyone a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. advanced Gong Xi Fa Cai also for those celebrating the Lunar New Year... here's for a prosperous year ahead *cheers* So what's up with me? nothing much... same old same old... a year older, perhaps a little bit wiser hehe... seriously, so many things happened since i last posted here, i don't even know where to start..if you want to know, maybe we can have coffee sometime? *wink* And that's it folks, just want to post for old times' sake... 4 months to go...can't wait!!!! BYE!

i've seen this coming...

after 1 1/2 years, its time to go. as the title of this post says, "i've seen this coming"...yes, its time to close this blog.

why? because i feel that i cannot fully express myself anymore in this blog. it sucks that sometimes, i have to edit my posts, delete them, typing a post but never posting it...i know i am also quite lazy and that i usually post mostly mundane and boring happenings in my life...

anyway, i know that i've said goodbye to this blog before. and now, i'm doing it again. but this time, i think it is for good.

as my first one, this blog is really memorable...i had a fun time trying out new designs, templates, headers, scripts etc...there are also quite a few times that i posted some really heavy things in here...

i hate saying goodbyes...but, i guess i have to do it. i want to say many things, but right now, words fail me.

this is it then.

blog, thank you for everything.
to all those who dropped by, thanks for visiting.
to all those who wrote comments, thanks for taking time

bluegrin has moved to another part of the blogosphere. see posters and flyers for more details :D

AY 2005-2006

one more year before i graduate...has it really been 4 years?

i don't want to be senti just yet...the academic year has just started and i should be focusing now on my honours year project...but...

i can't help feeling a little nostalgic (yes...this early)...last friday was my last Jam N' Hop as an NUS undergrad...if my memory serves me right, I haven't missed a single Jam N' Hop... and yes, I still remember my first...I went with Joline, Nestor, Paul, Val, Rex and our bridging-mate Jay (Gelo was sick that time :S)...we danced the night away hahaha...

***
I have only 4 modules this sem + the Honours Year Project:

[i]
LSM4211 Toxicology
LSM4212 Pharmacogenetics and Variability in Drug Response
LSM4232 Advanced Cell Biology
PL3237 Language and Cognitive Processes
[/i]

for the 3rd straight semester, my points are not enough to get PL3236 Abnormal Psych!!! Argh, next sem I should get this module (by hook or by crook wahehehe)...

***
I have a year to think of what to do after my undergraduate studies...hmmmm...

the terminal

i always feel a little sad whenever i send someone off...

there is always this feeling of you being left behind, especially when the person passes by the immigration counter and he/she turns back to wave at you...

naalala ko dati nung bridging pa ako (almost 4 years ago), when my dad and i sent off my mom, i almost cried...

***

9 days to go before i go home myself...and i can't wait to go back in bataan...after all, home is where the heart is.

Bless the Broken Road

this is my favorite Carrie Underwood song...

Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
