Me

I'm a practical dreamer.
(this is not as contradictory as it seems)


I like the crisp smell of freshly printed paper (and the corresponding sound of pen scratching ink on paper),cold temperatures when the sun is out, long and invigorating discourse, shopping at quaint, old-world boutiques, playing with poker cards at any kind of game (excluding Solitaire,while I honestly prefer all the variants of Bridge), and walking, just sauntering aimlessly (but contentedly); indulging in the sights and sounds around me, encasing them in the multi-faceted tapestry of sheer sensation-

To put it nicely-

2011 was a horrible and shocking year for me.

Nontheless, it's a new start- and I've never felt so innately peaceful in my soul-

as if all my burdens have finally been unloaded

It would be a lot nicer if I weren't baika though

Love isn't about attraction, it's inexplicable- and I can't quite put my finger on it- :D

But I'll trust in the Lord always- that He knows what He's doing- since it's really, up to Him- the Father's will first.

-------------------------------


But..my heart is so heavy, so heavy-

A time for laughter, a time for seriousness

Oh Lord, protect your servants, protect them. Lord, be merciful, oh Lord

We look to the Lord Jesus first, above all else

I know some of you (I've received the texts) don't quite understand the change in myself- how someone so gregarious, so outspoken, has suddenly.. turned around (with regards to the open pursuit of my Protestant Christian values)- and my personal relationship with the Lord

It was intially, exceedingly hard for an individual like myself to come to terms with that fact- being a rational future Economist-Philosopher, who was also blessed with a particularly vivacious and logical mind (I attribute this to my grandfather's Scientist genes).

This can be summed up in a single word: Faith

Pure, unconstrained Faith- which can never be rationalized in thought-terms, philosophical meanderings (which are after all, just words- e.g phenomenal consciousness, physicalism, dualism, etc etc)- or even the rational cost-benefit analysis of Economics.

Faith just is- it sustains us through trial and tribulation, because Faith shows us a single, clear, uncluttered path- that the Lord Jesus loves us, above all else- and that because of this love- all of us, condemned sinners, ill-gotten spirits, or proud a$$es (I love being punny), are saved by Him.

Just that, really. (You can read the New Testament- read John)

It takes a personal encounter to discover this, and trust me- it isn't the best ride- but it's still pretty cool.

/edit: I still don't understand what I went through though- it was seriously cool, but quite strange at times, but I guess it's all for the best? (There were seriously scary bits too- when I really thought I was going insane)

Some (nicer) bits I can't even bring myself to speak of- it's too.. otherworldly- even if I really, really, really, really, really liked those parts /shrug


I can't wait for school to start (now I'm an eggcited nerd with style)

Hume and Kant, Hume and Kant :D:D:D:D
