...over the past week or so...i did some contemplating of why i started this blog in the first place. then i'm reminded of what brought me to the world of web logging. in first year of univ...i wanted this to be a medium in which to share the going-ons and happenings with friends out of town (and in town). it was to serve as a tool to share my joys, struggles, and ambitions. most of all...i wanted to share His story on this blog with those who read it.
for the most part i think this goal was accomplished (despite the few "personal-ad" type kinda posts that were written...all too frequently). now that a new chapter is gonna begin (well...at least until April 2007)...the birth of a new blog will begin.
"A Leaf in Habs Town" will journal my journey into...untrotten territories (ie. a place with french street names).
ttyl. brb. afk. easy.
oh...and what do you call a bone that lies a lot??? a FIBula....har har har. =D

Redeem
read this off a former teacher's site...
"In an attempt to simplify my life, I made the decision to shut down my Xanga site. I had initially started that site to join the blogring for my church and get to know people better in an informal manner (which was accomplished). It was also a great way to get reconnected with people from my past, esp. from back home. But what started out as a good intention turned into something that I found myself spending too much time doing, and with only 24 hrs. in a day (and who knows how many more years on this earth), I realized that there must be a better use of my time.
Another reason I made this decision was I saw how the desire for comments, to be visited, etc. became a temptation to win the approval of man (i.e. fear of man), and become self-absorbed. This is something that I know is revealed in other areas of my life, but I've been challenged this month to reassess not only my attitude toward things, but also how I've been spending my time."
Ephesians 5:15-17 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
...it really convicted me, i truly needa re-evaluate my motives...why i do the things i do...

Hero
evangelism is a lifestyle...i always thought that worship was a lifestyle, but then...it makes sense that evangelism would be too. evangelism at the core of it...is essentially one beggar showing another beggar where the bread is.
lifestyle = worship + evangelism
after hearing their concert at RHCBC a few weeks back, the band from CTI ministries really inspired me to get better musically...and spurred in me a sudden urge to play the electric. i once was told that...music is the universal language, it can communicate all sorts of emotions and stories. is this a calling?
as an aside, the following comic strips foretell what life will be like in 8 years (for me at least):
ah...it'll be good times indeedio.

Might Have Ben Hur [Switchfoot]
Everything I know tells me she's everything that I could hope for. Everything I know tells me I can't let her walk away. I took my time to find the words. I hoped she'd feel the same.
'Cause I want someone to share my smile. To share the pain. To be there when the sea turns gray. To share the joy for better or worse, And I thought that it might have been her.
Wonder if she knows the way I saw her soul light up my life. Wonder if she knows of the pain I feel tonight. I took my time to find the words, I hoped she'd feel the same.

i got a lil' bit bored of studying, so...

Asleep
diggin' this song...fightin' the struggle. when will i wake up?
Comatose - Skillet
i hate feeling like this i'm so tired of trying to fight this i'm asleep and all i dream of Is waking to You Tell me that You will listen Your touch is what i'm missing And the more i hide i realize i'm slowly losing You
Comatose i'll never wake up without an overdose of You
i don't wanna live i don't wanna breathe 'les i feel You next to me You take the pain i feel Waking up to You never felt so real i don't wanna sleep i don't wanna dream 'cause my dreams don't comfort me The way You make me feel Waking up to You never felt so real
i hate living without You Dead wrong to ever doubt You But my demons lay in waiting Tempting me away Oh how i adore You Oh how i thirst for You Oh how i need You
these guys are probably the most influential band (besides Capstone) in shaping the way i play.
[Warning: video below is kinda cheese and slightly violent, just close your eyes and listen to the song for the faint of heart] =)
"Therefore i do not run like a man running aimlessly; i do not fight like a man beating the air. No, i beat my body and make it my slave so that after i have preached to others, i myself will not be disqualified for the prize." [1 Cor 9:26-27]
