Student of the Past

So while I am currently looking up and down for enlightenment (which obviously isn't anywhere to be seen)..
I decided to look back. At right before this 5 years journey started.

It was 2008.
Someone got married that year.
So I wrote this as a parting memento.

But looking back now, 2008 seems like the Super Lite version of 2014 hah.
It's like 2014 Air.
Life is interesting that way.
And that's why journal-ing is so,so important in our spiritual life.

I just joined the real estate industry back then. Letting go my monthly paycheck.
And I made less than $10k that whole year.
So work-wise, it wasn't a great year either.
Oh and I got cheated 12.5k too that year haha -__-"

However.. God spoke that year.
So I wrote this and this .

Looking back to 2009.. I can only say "wow!".
The year 2009 was a breakthrough in many ways.
Both in my real estate work as well as in relationship matter. As some of my friends would know.

Always give that warm feeling whenever I think of that year.
Many of my close friends bought their first houses thru me that year.
Utterly and eternally grateful minna-san!

Fall 2009? That was really when the 'journey' well and truly began.
Looking back at my journal, I can only say that I am amazed.
Yes, it didn't work out the way it should have been.
But with all humility, I confess that I made a mess out of the blessing I received.

I learn so much, so late.
But because of what He spoke in 2008, somehow I always believed.
Though if He were to initiate change of direction,
who am I to say no right?

So.. 2014. It's almost a wrap now.
It's time to be still and listen.
What He is about to tell me.
About 2015, life, love, and above all.. Him.

So.. speak oh Lord,
We are listening =)

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me....
