i love mugmug sessions(:
just mugged with angeline and von at wm bk.
long time since i ever talked to angeline. hohoo.
voooooooooooooon! rmb bout the thing that u saw in my firstSTEP book that u borrowed from me that time okay. the 3 names, and now it's down to one. haha!(:
went home relatively early.
and i tried out the 177 bus.
never taken it before.only knew it went to bp.
it was so fast. FASTER den normal 187 or 176.
bad part is that it is only for a specific timing. so must catch the timing.
and then i went to the lib. since i wanna find some books.walking to the OPAC thingy. one thing caught my eye.the word "SINGLE".curious me went to click SEARCH on that keyword.and i scrolled..and scrolled..and scrolled.the amazing fact is the titles like"how to ditch single""101guide to being NOT single""the idiot guide to getting a boyfriend""single no more!"and the list goes on.and thus i realise this is how the world views singlehood.as something that is to be avoided at all costs, once u hit the age of dread-able 15.to be without a boyfriend by 15, or even worse, not to be even in a r/s til then,it is like commiting some murderous crime.when the fact is that.you just want to enjoy your singlehood. and not let some man who runs past you spoil your single status and spin u all around, to wake u up in an empty dream.and the fact is that.even as i enter poly. the first thing that ppl look out or ask would be"do you have a boyfriend?"or whenever a msg or call from a guy-friend comes, wolfs mysteriously begin to appear and whistles blow.i remember one encounter.one of my classmate casually drop this question"so where do you all and your boyfriend go for dates ar?"[ note. it was a straight assumption that we all had boyfriends]and as they giggled and ooohhh and ahhh over the various hotspots, so to say,i turned on the fountains on them by dropping an equally casual statement"huh, boyfriend? no la, i don have"suddenly. all eyes were on me. all jaws on the ground."you mean you don have a boyfriend? like. like WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"or weird qn to fill up the blanks like" oh.. . oh.. . .. .. oh.. but.. oh... but.. u had one before right?!"and up til now. i had enough of the world's view of "NO BOYFRIEND, NO LIFE".now. here for some Daddy's view of "NO GOD , NO LIFE"
Song of Songs 3:5
Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: Don't excite love, don't stir it up, until the time is ripe—and you're ready.
no explaination needed, right?
God's timing. wait for it.
clear cut.
Ecclesiastes 12:1
1 Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them"-
Jeremiah 22:21
I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, 'I will not listen!' This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed me.
and so everything begins from youth.
it's the most impt period of our life.
our youth.
use it or waste it.
ur choice.
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
don deny.
all youths have some sort of evil desires.
what differs is the way that we deal with it.
will you go with it.
or go with God?
2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
what is seen now?
relationship.
bgr.
premarital sex.
that's what is seen in the world now.
temporal thrills.
oh whatever.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
pattern of the world.
the jaw-drop, eye-bulge face
to the one who choose to be single.
point taken.
will we conform?
or will we stand for what we believe?
there is nothing wrong with singlehood.
and so. FIAT(:
