Reflections
Woohoo!!! Finally put up my pictures from Asia! =)
=====
It feels good to finally have the time to read some of my favorite blogs and journals; something that I couldn't do in the recent past. It's great to see that despite the time and life changes, some journalists like Scott continue putting out great entries. =)
I wonder what will be the future of my own blog? I guess I can only continue writing as the inspiration (or lack thereof!) strikes, and hope that at least 1% of the junk is encouraging or entertaining to you all. =) Who knows, maybe this site will transition into more of a photojournal as I continue dabbling with digital photography. Hehe.
On that note, one of the dangers of returning to the full-time working world is: resisting the temptation to buy all the gadgets I drool over! >.< Thankfully, most of the Canon L lenses I lust after are still too expensive (we're talking 4 digits here baby!) right now... but I have been researching about new TVs and cel phones! ^^;
Plus, there's that supercharger I've always been meaning to get for my car...*grin* What's sad/scary is how in comparison to these camera lenses, the supercharger no longer looks that expensive anymore... ^^;
P.S. Brrrr... after being in Asia for so long, I really can't stand this cold weather anymore!
=====
I believe that the past/history is an important facet of my being. Experience - and learning from past mistakes - helps me to grow and mature as a person; however, sometimes I just never learn my lesson.
I can't stand how I still sometimes fall into old patterns when I meet someone that I'm interested in: I either get really shy and quiet, or I become too excited and eager. I hate how I can't just be myself... how I lose sight of myself...
On an encouraging personal note though, I see God's lesson here: a consequence of me putting my own selfish desires ahead of God's - trying to seize control of the situation, instead of continuing to trust in His plan and develop a God-driven relationship. I now fully accept that, and whatever consequences that may result because of my actions.
