:: almost there ::

Had my first paper yesterday morning! Praise God that it went pretty well. Other than the lack of time, furiously and frantically writing my answers within 2 hours, i think, hope and pray that i did well enough :) One more to go. And that would be…the end of my Monash season. 

The thought seems scary, but i’m looking forward to it. I dunno where to go after that, YET, but i’m leaning not on my own understanding. There’s Someone that’s directing my paths. I’m just gonna follow. I haven’t even started looking around for jobs. Pffft. 

I can’t believe how bad the haze is. I miss my sunshiny mornings. Do you remember those mornings where there’s enough sun to make gold patches where the leaves part? The kind where i used to believe that if i were to stand in the gold patch and make a wish, all my dreams would come true. Where it’s bright…and yet, not too hot? The kind that could *almost* convince you to live outside forever? The kind that’ll make you throw your phone and laptop away and say, “I’m Yours for today”. 

No?

Well, i miss them. Very much. 

Note to self : Don’t fall into the ‘disney swirl’. It’s a lie.

:: being real ::

This week has…been challenging indeed. Won’t go into full details but, y’all know what a challenging week can be.

It drains you, wears you down. You kinda get into a situation where really, you can’t look right or left (because the people next to you might just get smite down by your dagger-stares)…BUT, it allows you to realise that you can only look UP.

I found myself at…a different, maybe deeper, state of vulnerability which i both hated and…had to re-acquaint myself with. Got a lesson today on being ‘professional’. Sometimes i might be so caught up in holding a front, i forget that i’m actually as human as everyone else. And its OKAY, to let others see that. I’m still pondering as to how much is too much. I’ll learn, i suppose. After all, this is only one of the many challenging weeks ahead.

So here i am, being as real as my blogging experience allows me to. Yes, i’m frustrated. Yes, i don’t get enough sleep. Yes, i’m dying for a change. Yes, i want to see MORE in this and that area. Yes, i need You, Holy Spirit. Not by strength nor might, but by Your Spirit.

In my life, may You be lifted high. I thank You for the ‘break’ and ‘breaking’. There are some things that i need to work on, and just…submit. Here’s to sucking it in and saying, “Your will be done”. I don’t care what others might say. Everything beautiful in His time? Definitely. Will it be as beautiful as *i* want it to be? No.

It’ll be even better than what i can ever ask or imagine.

There’s a race to run. I know what my focus and stands are. So, Mr Hearsay, i have no story to give you other than…you either ‘get’ it or you don’t.

*shrug*

Here’s to more Ellie’s. *cheers*

:: wake up, you ::

Hello, good morning, how’d you do? What makes your rising sun so new?

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves. - Emma, Jane Austen

Bravo, Ms Austen. It takes the idiom, “familiarity breeds contempt” to a whole new level, doesn’t it? Well, here’s to wake up calls for all of us.

On a random note, i’m so inspired by Susan Boyle. ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from Les Miserables couldn’t have been sung better. It totally awakened this dream of wanting to watch some of the most renowned musicals in some opera house in London.

Oh, and the look on Simon’s face when Susan sang? Ahbsolutely priceless.

****************************************************************

What i’d love to see being performed in front of my very eyes this lifetime :

  1. Les Miserables
  2. Phantom Of The Opera
  3. Sunset Boulevard
  4. Miss Saigon
  5. West Side Story

…the city goes to bed, and i can live inside my head. – On My Own, Les Miserables

Ahh…dreams can be sweet indeed :)
