It's been almost two years I started college. My grades aren't working the way I want it to be. Still experiencing God's favor in the midst of sorrow. I strongly agree that the love of God perpetuates my determination to press on, strive in times like these.
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose"
-Romans 8:28
A verse so relevant to my current struggles. Give thanks to God for that. It's good that the Lord still is listening to His son's daily cry for help and replies with a timeless verse like this.

J's with me BROTHER!!
* J= Jesus
Oh man, God is good! Yesterday I met in an accident, well a really minor one. A car crashed into my right rear side. She seems to go straight, but her lane is for only turning right. Yeah, she crashed into me because I have the right to turn right.. (OH I KNOW YOU'RE CONFUSED!)
Let's just keep it simple... She was in the wrong. She insisted me to pay her eventhough she crashed into me! We parted paths and went on home. But I didn't leave, I went back to the crash site and sketched a detailed map of the area. It appears that I was right all along! I gave her a call, and disagree with her.. So, the whole day has been frustrating.
I asked my friends to pray for me. I showed them what happen, and all of them agree that I am right. I was kinda pissed of at that girl ( don't worry, she's just a short one with tomboyish looks...don't think it's a hot chic!).
So I went to get the car and went to the police station with my two friends, Joseph and Jason (say, the J's eh?). I so happen to see that girl too. With a look of confidence, thinking of that she's so right she asked for my car plate number. Deep down I know that I'm right.
I prayed for God's peace and strength. I even asked for a kind and wise not a bias inspector to see this case. Earlier, I told my friends with enthusiasm, "I'm gonna get her and make her pay for it! J's WITH ME!!".. It's just me, when I'm enthusiasm and full of determination, I'll go on speaking like that.
Well, that tomboy went to the inspector first. It took about 20 minutes before she comes out. (Gosh! Isn't is that much to say when you're in the wrong?) After that it was my turn. The inspector seems like a nice dude with signs of white hair and wrinkles giving me an estimate of he being 50 something. He seems like a nice guy, he gave me a piece of paper and I drew and told him how exactly it happen. He happens to be busy on the phone. Well, nevermind.. I notice my friends appeared beside me.
The dude nodded and said that I was right. He asked the girl to come in. He then told her that she's wrong! (Haiyah!! Take that!!) Man, he's such a good dude, he pulled back the report and told her that you can settle this outside, exempting her from paying impound. Haha!! J answered my prayers! What a moment of relieve! GOD IS GOOD DUDES!!! HAHAHA J's for JESUS and HE IS REAL BABY!!!
Man! that's good, after that, I took her to my car wanting to show what she has done. The dent she insisted me to go to her brother's workshop to get it fixed. Immediately, I said no! My friends helping me too. This is my right and your wrong, I have the right to get where I wish my car to be fixed. I have this impression that she was doing some damage control, trying to play cheap with me. Well, the repair will cost around RM300.
We shook hands and parted. I told here to be expecting my mechanic's quotation within this week. After that, I took jo and jas to salmon steak to treat them for helping me. OH yeah! LORD HELP ME NOT TO BE GULLIBLE. I need you to be my advisor, my guide. HELP ME
Well, I'm gonna get the car fixed and make her pay for it! muahaha!
GOD IS GOOD!!! Hooray!! What a sign of relieve!
HALLELUJAH BABY!!!

"Finishing is better than the beginning"
Life is full of ups and downs, like a cosine or sine graph that waves constantly up and down. One minute everything is smooth sailing and then a split second comes, your life comes crushing down. Ever wonder that to everything that happens, there is a reason behind it?
Recently, I've been feeling way discourage about my academics. I might not be working as hard (partly of me to be blamed) but things seems to get worse and worse. I cried out to God only when my exams come and when there ain't any, I won't beg God like crazy. Sounds familiar isn't it? We treat God as if He is the "Ultimate problem solving machine" while we neglect His love and peace and joy that He'll so gladly give to us if we ask. Someone told me when we pray to God, don't look to got but LOOK AT GOD. Look at His beauty and splendor and His love for us. Hehe of course, I've been naughty sometimes... :-) Man, I've been playing too much PC games and my finals are like in two weeks time!
Well I've been reading Ecclesiastes since this week. And the first impression I got was that this book is primarily about "WISDOM". And this morning while I was seating on the "throne" (if you get what I mean, I bet you do that too every morning!) I came upon this specific verse saying.. "The finishing is more important than the beginning" and it has been ringing in my mind for the whole day everytime I fret about my studies. Currently I'm a second year (sophomore student) and am not doing so well. Maybe God is trying to cheer me up and to just press on and finish my degree for the finishing is better than the beginning.
A note of encouragement to those depress dudes out there like me, don't fret, just press on and end it with God in style!
Cool!

National Dean's List 2008
Aww man, Kevin? National Dean's List 2008?? Haha! I know what you're thinking, a dude like me struggling with college especially Calculus! Hey it'll come true! God willing! If I work hard towards it, with faith and strength divinely given, hey! Why not? Perhaps a Nobel Price Laureate? Hey, I have big dreams man! Dream big, pray hard, work hard; there's a BIG GOD UP THERE! He'll never stop untill He has finished His divine plan for your life! Yes, and He is well working in me! Amen to that!
Life isn't about doing well in exams, getting good grades and getting into an Ivy League. Here's a question. What lies beyond that? Upon graduation, your focus will be on your career. Then, you will experience a paradigm shift to impressing your boss, getting a life partner, buy a big house, big car, CEO at 27 and retire at 30. What's next? Another, shift.. Another life transforming process. Now, your wealth will be invested into your health. And your aim could be living a healthy life, leaving a legacy and making sure your kids will not follow your mistakes and to live a good and prosperous life (hopefully they'll be better then you, in all aspects, not to make mistakes; as some would say having a high probability percentage due to traits inherited in their genes, courtesy of you) What happens next? You breath your last, the final puff of oxygen. From the very first you breath as a baby crying (a newborn baby's cry is seen as a good sign medically; that you are functioning properly). You closed your eyes. And the very moment you open it again... Where would it be? Reincarnation? Hell? Heaven? Ressurected? Having your physical entity being dimished? As a Christian myself, I believe that you'll be in God's arms. He'll give you a hug- like a brother, like someone you've known for so long, like a parent who'd waited patiently; expecting the return of a child :- "Well done my good and faithful servant" this will be the very words He'll speak to you. Oh yeah some folks might ask what language is He speaking to you? An African, a Japanese, a Portuguese and believers from all nations will be using a heavenly language only understood by those who speak it. Don't ask me. I've haven't been there, and I don't know what it sounds like.
And we'll be with Him forever and ever.. Sounds like a fairy tale right? Not! It's better than that! It might sound rather gay. ( for guys, you've probably heard of phrases like "Jesus loves you", "I love Jesus" or " Jesus is my Lover") You might think that Jesus is gay, or He is rather someone who loves everyone with no particular reason. You might even argue that He is loves everyone so that He could win people's hearts (kinda like lip service?). As a matter of fact, LOVE of Jesus is not a gay love or "one night stand love", it is a love that is absolutely perfect for us. He loves(perhaps it could be replace with; He's crazy over you!) us unconditionally. Not of the way you look like, who you are, your grades, your name. No! He accepts you just the way you are. Just the way you are.. He knows your heart's deep desires, your thoughts even right now when you read this. He is delighted over you. He even knew you even before you are born, he knows your name knowing what your parents will name you. He knows eveything. EVERYTHING.. Hey, not to scare you. Don't treat God like some Intelligence Agency, He just knows everything for He is God. Oh yeah, you might aslo heard of the "Holy Spirit/ Holy Ghost". Trinity? What nonsence is that? You might ask.. Well, you know chemistry, one matter could exist in three form? Solid, Liquid and Gas (yeah I know plasma, the forth state of matter, lets just leave this out for a moment). Same goes for the Trinity (which consists of God the Father aka Big Daddy aka Jehovah aka he has many names, Jesus and the Holy Spirit) all members of the Trinity coexist simoultaneously. Trinity =three in one. Get it dude?
Well, I hope you understand what I've been typing so far.. You've probably watched movies having actors and actresses so happen to curse using God's name.... Exorcism, or maybe the famed Da Vinci Code. You have plenty of questions. Wherever you're from, you could be God loves you just the way you are. Need more questions? Approach that Christian friend of yours. Ask him/her what's this Jesus thing all about. The answer is more than your question. Perhaps even deeper the meaning. Don't believe me? Give Jesus a try..

Last week was like super hectic for me!! First there's this History Court trial where i'm the lead prosecutor..Mission?? Get a witch hanged from Salem!! The judge is who else?? Prof Borges with his "hammer" and his impersonation of judge adressing the court... With him saying.. "Order! Order!!!" We put up a great show.. esp when it comes to submit our "evidence" ranging from a voodoo doll, to a broom seat (u know? witches fly on brooms???!!!!) The whole "court" their heads off..And then there was the Defence attorney..Man!! SHe's good! Well, we lost but we had fun! It took 3 hours for the whole case.. We got so tired after that! Guess what?? I've got another assigment due on Friday!!. Sigh... We slept late at nights trying to finish up on our website for assignment... It was a last minute thing.... and we got 9/10!!! Praise the Lord! Then after that, there was finals!! Oh man! I'm seriously burnt out!! Sleeping late at nights and waking up early.. Finally the harder papers are finished.. Now i have a final paper on Monday.. I'm taking the whole day off for me!! hehehhee..
There was a time i went to church.. During prayer, i sensed something telling me... Look into Isaiah 55:5.."You will aslo command the nations, and they will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.". Wow! What a revelation! Command the nations thingy.. THis is the first time (i think) that i got such super cool stuff from the bible that a voice just told me to turn to a random verse. Cool... heheh The Bible's an ocean of treasures.. Dig well and study it's treasures.. hehhehe God's been gracious.. Too good to me in my exams.. NOt to say that my papers were super easy... No there weren't.. (except calculus., it was moderate) esp CHemistry 2!! The whole class was like showing their sad faces after it... Seriously.. tough...But i managed to answer all of the questions... not sure off my answers.... they look like nonsense... Well, mom cheered me up today by printing me an email she got on9... It was a marked question paper with super hillarious, lame answers!! I laughed my head off till my stomach hurts!! mauahahhahahahaa!!! Seriously!!! Perhaps my paper wasn't that bad if compared to that email.. hahahahahha!!!
Untill then, it's getting late.,. My next paper is on Monday.. Then there is CF camp...Praise the Lord.. Easter's here too!!! THe day Jesus died on a Friday and rose on the third day (Sunday).. yeah... Tat's right.. Easter's got nothing to do with the bunny but it's actually about Christ's death and ressurection! Amen!!!

Calculus...Ppl were like talking to each other and lamenting over it.. Yeah, me too. It bothered me for almost the whole day. And after the trauma.. as usual i get the most "conviction" to study! I went 4 lunch wif Adrian and Phoebe.. in AYA CAfe.... We had fun sharing bout lots of stuff bout God, and girls.. hehehee (Phoebe of course mentioned bout guys!) Heheh, it was great! Then i chilled in Oasis till 2. and We had meetinhg till 4.. Then i went to the library to "study" upon conviction!! hhahaa.. Never really been studying though...
Anyways dudes, God's been great to me.. Seriously, i've been not spending much time with HIm. Yeha, i'm gonna do it after this.. I really need to study as in study and increase my CGPA b4 i leave for US... Yeah, increase too in spiritual growth.. I'm the King's kid.. and alll blessings will flow to us who love Him.. But sometimes.. the blessing's already there.. we just need to claim it.. TO work for it... Yeah,.. God's gave me something.. I just need to work for it, to claim ownership to it..!!
