ahh. awesome song. didn't realise that there was more meaning behind the lovely, soothing tune till i checked out the lyrics. thanks daryl! :D
Misreadkings of convenience
if you wanna be my friend
you want us to get along
please do not expect me to
wrap it up and keep it there
the observation i am doing could
easily be understood
as cynical demeanour
but one of us misread...
and what do you know
it happened again
a friend is not a means
you utilise to get somewhere
somehow i didn't notice
friendship is an end
what do you know
it happened again
how come no one told me
all throughout history
the loneliest people
were the ones who always spoke the truth
the ones who made a difference
by withstanding the indifference
i guess it's up to me now
should i take that risk or just smile?
what do you know
it happened again
what do you know

the book has been good. interesting, and a good source of refuge for the lazy bum that i am. didn't know that it was pretty well-known, too. what luck that uncle peter had it on his shelves on sunday. :D

i always marvel at the ability of songs to take me back to particular times of my life! but i don't like how this song is making me feel. nostalgia, longing to go back in time. so much emotion to express, but just somehow restricted in front of the piano. by my head, by my skills and style. pulling me back.
campus masses have always been fantastic for me.. maybe even more so than sunday masses in church haha. the new priest seems quiet haha. and father val's homily was wonderful, as usual. i'd better write it down before i forget.
the changes are happening so fast, and it's like i'm entering a new phase so quickly after i'm done with the one i've just survived.. i need some serious fun and laughter, and a magic pill so i don't have to study for the mid-term hehe :D

over the weekend, i met several new friends and engaged in very very interesting talk. i can't believe i missed the vibrancy of the youth scene in st mary's! and i also cannot believe that i've been pulled into it like this.. what are the chances of working with a priest from your parish on an external session, and at a time when your parish needs help? i'm so glad i've been granted the wonderful opportunity to converse about faith and reason to these people.. just the matter that has been bugging me. and there's fantastic uncle peter, from whom i've purchased several great books, and had awesome conversations with. he seems to be experiencing the
exact same thing i'm going through, and it's so comforting to know that i'm not weird and alone in this.
i look at the priests and wonder how they're able to be loving to every single person, although they are very much as human as us and definitely are more comfortable with some than with others. they don't allow themselves to be taken advantage of, yet are willing to help out with all sincerity whenever someone is in need. that skill of being able to draw the line is something i resolve to achieve, and not by frantic reading and intensive thinking, but by just letting things go along. and this is because it seems like changes really can take place overnight, through the grace of God.
how awesome the revelation that God
is logic itself has been to me! i didn't realise it at that very point of time, but it seems like i've released the shame and guilt i've accumulated for overanalysing. faith is believing things that are not logical, and not illogical. i always saw the matter as one of duality.. i've been too myopic.
