what do you care most about?

so many things happened today. well, not many, but two major things, and since my days normally pass without major happenings like a Macy's Thanksgiving parade or a Citrawarna float (ongoing inside joke with myself), two is a lot. I want to tell my friends all about it but since i don't be seeing them very often, i always tell my family first :) and God. He knows what's happening, and i'm so very glad i get to share it with Him!*

so many things to do but here i am blogging! only ten minutes, i promise.

reza salleh + liyana fizi at empire this friday night. D, you want to go anot?



*i've been thinking about how people (myself included) think about God's gender. is God a male entity or a female entity? then it got me thinking that God can't be male, because females are so complex, and our bodily functions differ vastly from that of males, and since only females understand each other fully, God must have some sort of femininity in Him. then i thought i can't possibly generalize everything. just because we humans live with a boundary called "gender" (and other such subsequent boundaries as "occupation", "age", "education", "income", "demographic" etc) doesn't mean God is subject to said boundaries. amen? think of it this way: God has to be both male and female to be able to make males and females so unique and detailed as they are.

besides, the pressing issue here is NOT what gender you think God is. it's what you think of God, and what you make of Him in your life.

for public buses

I took the bus back today.

I never take public buses for the various reasons that it is not safe, not as hygienic as KTM, filled with men and it is not safe.

My usual commute time of two hours (by KTM) was cut short to a jaw-dropping 30 minutes. I was so happy. You don't know the jubilation I felt as the bus drove past the Bukit Raja toll. I praised God silently. The ride was shocking. The time spent plowing through the roads of KL, I would've been in the KTM going through the 15+ stations, stopping at each to let passengers off.

I've never been a fan of public buses, but after today, they're just what I need.

haven't been replying to emails and messages. sorry

knick knacks at the market



This morning's agenda:
pasar pagi with mother
breakfast at kopitiam
stay at home

For the first time in almost a month (!), I have the liberty to sit and do nothing, and not think about the next thing to do. Well, not all day long. I still had to prepare the sharing for this Sunday and dry the laundry. And do some calculations. And I managed to send off some emails too, finally!

I tell you...I am made to be a housewife.

Half the day is gone. What next?

"no water, no lights, no problem!"

You know, some people say I'm scary sometimes. But I think everyone is scary to someone at one point or another. One person has scared me this few weeks. I don't know if they know it. Most likely not.

"What is good is that I'm in a much more positive place mentally, and not constantly beating myself up for failing to be a woman by my apparent inability to look like one. And that's a fine place to start."
You said it, sista!
