私の最愛のための詩 (a poem for my beloved)

シャワーでの間、ナオミの小さな詩をすることについて考えた。(while i was in the shower, i thought of writing a poem for Naomi in Japanese)
So here goes :D

彼女は美しいだけ暑い日には澄んだ青い空を見ているようです。彼女は私彼女の美しさには、彼女の顔からダウン彼女の足を魅了します。彼女の言葉は私の好みに、アップルからの甘いジュースのようなことです。彼女の手で彼女のギターのメロディーを演奏する私たちの好きな食べ物を調理するかどうかに巧みな、です。私自身の魂を神がそこに置くことができることしか言うことのスリルと彼女は私を魅了します。ちょうど何も月の電力を太陽の力をしないすることができますとして誰も私の最愛の人を比較できます。

if you want the translation, its here:

(She is lovely, just like looking a clear blue sky on a hot day. She captivates me with her beauty, from her face down to her feet. Her words are like sweet juice from the apple to my taste. Her hands are skillful, whether at cooking our favorite food, to playing melodies on her guitar. She fascinates me with a thrill in my own soul that I can only say that God can put there. Noone can compare to my beloved, just as nothing can compare the power of the Sun to the power of the moon.)

Thats a first for me- combining my love for Japanese with my love for my boo ^.^

Such a wonderful thing

Is the Love of God for me. So marvelous and unselfish.. and then I am able to GIVE that love (trying and improving everyday) to a woman.. who just happens to be her:
she has no idea how much she means to me; i dont even know the depth of it. But what i do know is just a small simple thing:


I love her.
What would i trade for her in this world?
Nothing.
Because how can you trade the best there is?

I wonder what she will be like when she sees this... ^.^

What a devotion this morning!

So the topic today was the Legacy of Peace that Jesus leaves us.
And so we started. And one paragraph is what i want to talk about, because it was from there i was supremely blessed and also was able to see my defects and what the Spirit was saying to me in various ways.

"  It is the love of self that destroys our peace. While self is alive we stand ready continually to guard it from mortification and insult; but when self is dead, and our life hid with Christ in God, we shall not take neglects or slights to heart. . . ." {HP 249.5}
It was through this that I realized something i needed to change; I take things to heart. There have been times when i said "i get it from my mom" or i just excused it altogether. But now it came to me forecefully that it is because of love of self. To protect me from injury; and to that, is to forfeit what God wants to give me. So as foreign as it may be to me, I have to give that up and leave it forever, in order to be more like Jesus in the sense of having His peace.

So after that, Boo and I spoke about how to handle what she calls "strop resolution"- not conflict but strop. Because both of us dont like conflict, that doesnt mean it wont happen. She also revealed to me that if I dont the job i am to do( that is to lead us) she would, and i would then be emasculated. Which is something I dont want. (in my head, i thought of broken down marriages and men and over dominating women, which aint in the order of God). Therefore one thing i have to pray for and put into action Via faith is to be assertive with Boo and to take control of when she gets into strops. Because to be honest, I run away from those things rather than deal with it, and i realize that it is very annoying for me, much less for her. She also said that she doesnt want to be the domineering one and that it is supposed to be the man's duty to lead so get on with it! :L (basically her words). She also says she finds it attractive, because she is just to doing it herself (independent woman story insert here) and she wants to be reigned in, but not abused, which Through Jesus i wont do :D

What I also saw that my inability to handle her strops spills into other areas of us and my own life. So change is just required. as she said, she is a tough chick, so i dont need to be afraid that i would offend her. She isnt like me in that respect. Which for me, i admire, as im gentle like that, and she isnt. So we would learn from each other :)

So it will be work, but a pleasant and overcoming work. i will know when i am improving and it is truly exciting to know i have the power to change things for the better!

And so i thought about it and thought "others need to know about this" hence why i wrote this today. as well as a archive for myself, a lesson to others..

Men, if in a relationship or seeking one, make sure you are assertive but not arrogant and demanding. Learn of one and neglect the other if that how you are. always seek Christ for help for everything.

So what a morning start for me :) God blesses even in the most unusual of ways. We spoke about other things, but that was what i wanted to say :)

and also that I love my Boo :)

this is just because it came to me.. and because i can..

So i am writing this because I thought about this while i was working out..
Now i have seen a lot of women today.. either by picture on in person..
But only one stands out to me.. you guessed it.. my Boo, or Naomi as she is called too (I just dont use her name anymore; boo is easier to say :p)


And i thought to I self: "Why would I give up such a good thing AND  a good woman for next chick? What possibly could i achieve with the best that I have been given thru the wisdom of God? Thats like giving up a chance to get my dream car, the Subaru
One day maybe I can get this car.. :)
for a Nissan Micra.
No way
There is just NO CONTEST. That is what i compare my love for Boo for .. there isnt even a woman on the planet that can compare with her. and I can be safe and secure and say that because I know that both she and I are striving to be like Jesus. So if Jesus fails, we both do.. But He never can; therefore we never will, as long as we keep Him 1st. 

:) 

so there we go :D 

when i see her:
All I think is: 
One day.. She will be mine :) forever :D 
In Jesus' Name for sure :) 

As I am waiting...

For boo to be ready for devotion, I got a few things on the mind:
- It feels nice to not have work anymore for now. And that i can do what i want again.
- I need to keep on the Japanese and Guitar; I havent done either this week or last week so i need to get on it properly, also because of music day for the guitar.
- as for the water drinking, kinda fell a bit yesterday as i didnt drink the full 3 liters. But today I will, so might as well get in 3 cups by now (havent yet).
- What a God that i serve. When i stop and think about it, serving God makes sense for me; it isnt like this is boring or this no use; it serves as a safeguard for me to not do stupid and potentially foolish things and makes a better person and a more Godlike person in character.
- I can always do better than how I am doing now; i say that because last night i was thinking that I dont want things bad enough in certain areas of what i do. EG Japanese or Guitar. and i realize that that can spill into my spirituality, so it is something to pray about and start to build up.
-As for exercise, i didnt do any Monday but i did some Zumba last night, and i will exercise today and Zumba as well. :) In Jesus Name i will do that because i know sometimes i dont have the motivation. (thats also where Boo comes in).

So yea, thats about i think. oh wait. it isnt. Another thing was that i want to take up chinese cooking and other sorts of cuisine to expand my food repertoire, and to just mix it up a bit, after watching a series on i player about it :)

In Jesus' name i can do all of this and consistently and to be better :)

Thanks for Sharing it with me Booboo :)

It's all over now :)

I am now done with working as a playworker :)
I learned alot about myself and about kids at the job and I know that I can surely put it into practice =]
I learned that I need to be less selfish and more like Jesus :)

And I made sure that the devotions i did with boo i would try to put into action when i got to work :)

Now I am home and being groomed; its a nice feeling to have and to do it back as well :)

All in all, a good experience :)


Onto the rest of the summer vacation :) and also the awesome weekend that is coming :)

Twas fun while it lasted :)

My 200th Post! :D and also updates :)

So just signing into this, I see that it is my 200th post! :D

woo :)

now with that aside, time for the updates for the goals:

-For the muscle side and stuff I have gained a little bit of muscle, around .4 lbs and lost the most body fat i have ever done, so praise Jesus indeed! :D
-For the music side, since the last post, I havent done much, because i didnt factor in the time for it or the japanese, which isnt good, so i know i have to do better with my time management for sure! I also need to start the song list for music day that Boo sent me as well....

Asides from those, My week has been pretty good; Charlotte now left the job, and  I will miss her, but now we have someone called Jamie, who I have seen the week before; she's nice. For me, I can't wait to have my time to me again and to catch up on some much needed studying as well as devoting time to little things I planned on doing!

Sermon that I am planning is going well under way :) I will have to put some time into it when I am able to. I have been also reading Acts of the Apostles (A book written by Ellen White on the book of Acts in the Bible). Personally, I never touched the book, but one day I read a part of it and it is really amazing :) Yesterday, I was reading the end scenes of Paul's life, and i was really humbled as well as encouraged and definitely took lessons away to learn.

There are things after I finish work I plan on doing; one is to take up swimming, because as a lot of people know (and dont), I cant swim. Thats another goal to achieve! Apparently, its good for the body and cardio as well, so might as well give it a shot :)

Another thing that i wanted to mention is how much I am beginning to settle into my relationship with Naomi, and i dont mean settle as in being 80% where i was 100%. I mean more into the fact that everyday with her, I understand more of her, and she of me, and also what i want to achieve in my life and to make sure that she  is there when i do it. Kinda like a personal fan club, and supporter :D

So yea, while I have been working I noticed I need to manage my time more for sure.. But I have appreciated the opportunity to work in this type of job; It has opened my eyes thats for sure, and i will write what I have learned on Friday, whens it all said and done :)

Now time for Devotion with Boo :)



Sunday, August 19, 2012

Many different things happened lately…

It has been a good weekend this weekend!

First off I went to prospect park via coach with work and I got to manage inflatable balloons all day(could of been worse but I made sure I didnt complain to myself). After that I walked nearly 2 miles home, (it was fun though) and met up with Boo. From there we went to get something to eat(originally chips) but got so fed up cos of the prices we ordered pizza instead. From there we went to church which was really good :) and we got to know a bit more about Nicole, who was the person who drove us and what she did for a job :) (she works at the wedding registrar). Good to know for us :)
Then we went back to slough and fell asleep we were that tired.
Church was good. We were driven by clarisser and a skit was done at church and I got to do the lesson summary. And it went well so much so that I'm preparing a sermon on what I said. :)
After church we went to clarisser's house. The food and stuff as nice ;)
Today we just lazed around a bit. Naomi slept and I zumba'd. It was so nice and hot.
Also got into this thing called Quora. Basically from what I can gather it is a site that has topics about anything and everything. For someone like me that's really cool :D
Now I'm about to go home.

All in all a good weekend :)
Can't wait for the next one :D

What a Sabbath indeed!

Sabbath yesterday was so good! :D From the preaching to the crying to the counselling i gave, it was so boom :D

Woke up early and had devotion with Naomi as usual and went to the bus stop to meet Kallie and Sophie, which was cool :D

Church itself was good :) The message about God's love and faithfulness really hit me, and I allowed the Holy Spirit to come in start me anew from there, even to the point of me crying and speaking in Japanese to God alone :)

it was really good. :)
Lunch was so nice too :) got to see lots of people i havent seen in ages.

then I spoke to Michael about loads of things, from his conditions and trauma and all sorts, then spoke to Simba and spoke to Latifah and eventually counselling them both ( i didnt know i was good at that, but apparently i am  so woo :)) and then we walked to mine and we spoke loads more and then Boo called and we spoke to her as well and we prayed and played guitar and had pizza and all in all it was so good :)

Also i got to them 2 about Naomi and I and it was just so wow, because I realized that the more i speak about how much she loves me and me to her and all the stuff we do in between just made me love her even deeper. and I also said something that made so much sense and was so "penny dropped moment" which was: (paraphrased)
The more you love someone, the easier it is to talk about them. If I can say how much i love Naomi, I should be more than able to do the same about Jesus to people. 
so today i made food :) and i made this :)
Was so tasty! Thank you Jesus! :)

On this Hymn ting :p

Ok so basically I said I would update on the goals I set in the previous blog; except now I am changing one of the goals.

The one to learn 5 hymns one..
Basically I got more now to learn (cos I want to anyway :p) and i set a subgoal within that one!

-To transpose (that is to take up a song by a half tone) and to find different voicings for that song :)

I got 14 hymns to learn (not by September 22nd, by the end of September), and I know from that i will be able to be more inspired and more knowledgeable about the guitar :D

Also was going in on the Japanese yesterday :)

Learning about cause and effect (knew it already but refresher) as well as looking at other books to buy :)

Sadly, I didnt do any exercise; I just couldnt be bothered. So  I will do some tonight :)

Now im just playing guitar until I am off to church with Kallie and Sophie :)

New Goals set whilst thinking in the shower...

So this morning, I got up and i thought about some things and said to myself "I have things to do, and yet with no aim, I get nowhere fast" whilst in the shower.

The things that I want to set goals for are reasonable; as Boo is working on the wifey body, i need to keep going on my own body and not be content with what i have now.

with that thought in mind, I am setting goals for myself, which are as follows:

  1. to learn at least 5 hymns by  Music Day (September 22nd) and to play them comfortably and to be able to change 1 key.
  2. for my Body, to go from 16 lbs of bodyfat, to 13 lbs, as well as from 170 lbs of muscle to 180.
  3. to thoroughly go through my diet and cut out all the things that are stopping me from not achieving the previous goal and to eliminate any practices that will prevent it (sleeping late, snacking, junk food,etc)
So yea thats that :) 

when is the deadline for the last 2?

By my 22nd birthday :) (Christmas Day for those who dont know)

Ill be updating them as I go :)

Stay tuned :D

What a Booboo i have :D (woo :) )

So this week, and weekend was pretty eventful :D from Boo playing at the concert in London(and also meeting new and old friends), to her being her until she left just a while ago, its been pretty eventful :)

Work is going well and i got to play the wii today :)
now that i start at 8, i wake up so early now! (thats fun ish kinda.. yea..)

also, today we fell asleep which is funny cos i dont nap, but today was so tired i did just that!

Also as her back is a bit knotted up, she couldnt move much, so i was up and about and stuff when at work and when i got back (i got welcome home hugs :))

it was so nice having her here. I just am looking forward to when she doesnt have to leave ;)

that will be fun :D

also starting to learn hymns and how to make them in my style as well :) as well as reading more japanese, and exercising more. i havent done any since sunday but i will make sure i start again tomorrow properly!

not long now til the new job is done, but I am having fun doing it :)

lots of time for reflection and things....
