Okay, so I am super duper psyched about being able to accomplish something I have wanted to achieve since the minute I stepped in the company I work for. I have thought about how to do it; I have planned and spent so many hours working on it. I have prayed for it and many times, my team and I have “almost” achieved it. We have been in that space where we are but a breath away from the goal, a breath but still away. I did not lose heart though, because I know God is faithful. He promised me victory and I claimed it in His mighty name. Amazing he is always and to Him be all the glory.

Dear God,

Thank you. I lift up this win to you, glory to your name God.

In Jesus name, my Lord and savior,

Amen.

44. How to be good

How to be good by Nick Hornby is basically about a woman’s struggle to keep herself together despite the things that are happening in and around her. I love how Katie isn’t perfect and has quite a lot of questions and reservations about her husband’s way of being “good”.

I can totally relate to Katie. The way she would question her intentions, not fairly sure if she should do the right thing. It is so human.

♥ So now what? What happens when words fail us?

43. Second Glance

I read another book by Jodi Picoult. This wasn’t my favorite definitely, but this is one of the most interesting of her books. This talked about love, ghosts and eugenics.

I found eugenics really interesting because I cannot fathom people doing this to other people. It is ugly and wrong, especially if you look at it as the ground work for what the Nazi did then.

♥Love is not a because, it's a no matter what.

♥Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.

♥People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else."

42. Room

I started reading this book quite a long time ago, but I was only able to finish it recently. I was so bored in the beginning, it was really dragging. I just wanted to finish it already (not in a good way.) My favorite character is Steppa. The least favorite will be Ma.

♥ In the world I notice persons are nearly always stressed and have no time...I don't know how persons with jobs do the jobs and all the living as well...I guess the time gets spread very thin like butter all over the world, the roads and houses and playgrounds and stores, so there's only a little smear of time on each place, then everyone has to hurry on to the next bit.

No Life

My friend Noel said that I have no social life. And this just proves that. Yep I have no life.

41. Water for Elephants

I liked Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I started reading and just couldn’t stop. The lead character, Jacob is my favorite. Both the old and young Jacob.

♥ Keeping up the appearance of having all your marbles is hard work, but important.

♥ Life is the most spectacular show on earth

40. Sing You Home

This is another book by Jodi Picoult. It took me quite a long time to read this, the beginning part was really dragging and I find myself distracted by either the TV or other more exciting books.

I did like the story though. It wasn’t what I expected – granted I didn’t have any expectation when I started reading. I was actually totally clueless what the story what about. I love the ending and how love won.

♥ The music we listen to may not define who we are. But it’s a damn good start.

39. Divergent

I read another dystopian novel, this time by Veronica Roth. I love this book so much; I read it in one go. Definitely in the Young Adults category, it is fairly easy to read. It’s about Beatrice Prior finding a place in the world and finding love too. It is kind of a cliff-hanger.

♥ Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up.

♥ Lies require commitment

♥ A brave man acknowledges the strength of others

Aida

Yesterday, I caught Aida with Kiko, Owen and Noel. This is a musical by Tim Rice and Elton John. I loved itMusic is really good and the cast was great. It is about the love triangle between Aida (Ima Castro) the nubian Princess, Radames (Myke Salomon) the leader of the Egyptian armyt and Amneris (Rachel Alejandro) the Egyptian princess..

Rachel Alejandro is my favorite. She is a joy to watch. J

38. The Sky is Everywhere

A wonderful novel by Jandy Nelson, this left me wanting for my own Joe. Someone, cute, confident, plays every single musical instrument and came from Paris. :D This book is more than a love story, it talks about finding a reason to stand alone after playing second fiddle for as long as you can remember. For me, it’s about sisterhood, secrets and strength.

Favorite place in the book is the bedroom in the middle of the forest. I wish I have that to run to every time I need out.

"Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy."

Renewed Spirit

This weekend, i've kinda been a little broken hearted because of something I heard at work. As much as I would not want to admit, I felt a tiny bit defeated and definitely my spirit took a dive.

But that was all in the past. Today in Church, i had a total amazing experience. Renewed spirit all around, I am reminded of God's promise. His unfailing love would not let me down.

Blessings and grace will forever be bountiful with Him and I need not be fearful. I trust God and I will have victory. :)

Ugh.

Stupid trojan virus totally disables my PC to run any other program except chrome plus security center pops up every 5 mins reminding me that there are 12 threats that i need to remove!!!! I wanna scream - DUH!! I know but you wont let me!!!!

The most amazing thing of it all, this is the least of the things in my mind right now. I am going to go visit Mr Darcy and Ms Bennet in a few to get away from it all.
