tuesday,
had an activities packed day out =)
shopping at chaddy in the morning (:
got myself a birthday top, loved it. eh.. i forgot to take a picture of it and this erm funny face photo was the closest you get to seeing the top :p oops x)
a lindt chocolate cheesecake! (: yummilicious.
my afternoon was spent mysteriously which cannot be disclosed. where i found a wallet and returned it to the bank - my good deed done for my birthday :phad dinner at wagamama,
and followed by dozen slices of cakes at the other cafe place.watched fame the movie. and i guess what really caught me was something said along this line:
until you can accept your circumstances, you'll never be able to accept yourself and bring your true inner self out.
it's juz like the nooma we're going to be watching tonight:
everyone had wounds. big small shallow deep. we cant figure out why people do things to us, but at the end of the day, we dun wan to let our lives be determined by what other ppl do to us, we juz want to be free from it all.
forgiving isnt forgetting, sometimes it's remembering.
it iz an action. forgiving iz letting go, setting free, giving up on every desire for revenge, but most of all, forgiving iz to actually wish them well. forgiveness isnt about other people, it's about us. when we forgive and set them free, we set ourselves free, letting ourselves off the hook. having to carry all that baggage around is a miserable way to live. as we journey through life, we get hurt and wounded, but the truth stands: God created you to be free.
what does it cost to let it go?
what will it cost you to let go?
what will it cost for you to let yourself off that hook?
perhaps only until you let yourself off the hook, then can you really fully love yourself before anyone else.
so my dear readers,
i have a query.
how do you express love?
do leave a comment on your opinions (:

I think you're very right about forgiveness. Forgive yourself, and you will really feel.. loved. You must accept God's gift of Jesus' death, understand the meaning of that action, that your sins are forgiven and getting that burden off. Once you fully understand and have experienced God's love, then you can share it with others :D
haha yupp! (: that's why God's love and forgiveness iz very important and comes before our forgiveness to others (:
which i was taught that in fact, God's love preceeds forgiveness. because we love then are we able to forgive. though you first have to forgive yourself before you can love others... so it's like we love in general that's why we can forgive others and ourselves, and when we've done so, can we love others. still makes sense. HMM :D chicken and egg concept!! :D
