WELCOME BACK!!!

Good to have you back my dear fren. Good luck with your final year in school ;)

We missed you Pat! *pats ya head just like ol times*

Mortality

Men were born to die. Morbid, I know, but true.

A stark reminder today of how limited one's time in this world at a funeral wake for R's grandfather. The fatigue was obvious in his eyes. The sadness telling in his demeanor. I was glad to know that at least he was spared having the passing of his grandpa come as a shock. It is always harder to come to grips with an unexpected departure of a loved one. Both my grandparents and my youngest aunt left us with little or no warning. Somehow, I think I still blame myself for not being by my grandma's side when she exhaled for a final sigh. How could she not sigh? Her grandson wasn't with her, the family circle incomplete.

R, my deepest condolences. I can empathise with you as I know you were close to your grandpa as I was to my grandparents. Here's a favourite line of yours dedicated back to you:

"What you do in life echoes on in eternity."

Take heart that your grandpa will live on in the way you treat your friends with sincerity, your warm personality, your love of life, your openness, gentle maturity and generous spirit. Surely he played no small part in nurturing these qualities of yours.

Remember, my friend, our thoughts are with you in this dark hour. Take care, take heed and, once again, take heart.

Please let me be Seraphim

God, I hope I'm Seraphim cos boy do I ever feel like I'm spoiling for a fight at the moment.




You are one of the few out there whose wings are
truly ANGELIC. Selfless, powerful, and
divine, you are one blessed with a certain
cosmic grace. You are unequalled in
peacefulness, love, and beauty. As a Being of
Light your wings are massive and a soft white
or silver. Countless feathers grace them and
radiate the light within you for all the world
to see. You are a defender, protector, and
caretaker. Comforter of the weak and forgiver
of the wrong, chances are you are taken
advantage of once in awhile, maybe quite often.
But your innocence and wisdom sees the good in
everyone and so this mistreatment does not make
you colder. Merciful to the extreme, you will
try to help misguided souls find themselves and
peace.

However not all Angelics allow
themselves to be gotten the better of - the
Seraphim for example will be driven to fighting
for the sake of Justice and protection of those
less powerful. Congratulations - and don't ever
change - the world needs more people like you.

Missing Person Report

"Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends"

So much to say, but yet I'm holding back tonight. Perhaps it's just not time yet. Well, finally finished my working stint, but I'm still a few hundred short of my target to buy a laptop before I head to UK. So....Probablyy means I'll have to taken on a final temp job. Been working on and off since Feb (mostly on) but much more frequently this June. Ergo my long absence from posting.

I'm quite worried actually. Just a mere 5 months (okay, take away a month for when I was in Europe) and I'm feeling the monotonous and mundane daily routine of a working life. I can literally feel it in my bones as the weariness seeps in at the end of the day. I'm not even doing anything physically taxing. In fact, my body is telling me it WANTS exercise! I fear for the rest of my life. Will I be able to survive the merciless grind of the working world, or will I be reduced to so much ash? Just another casualty of capitalism, strewn over at the side of the road as others trudge on by heedless of my tragic end.
