a loooong overdue post, edited. :) my phone's inbox is exploding, so i'm transferring some of my messages here. someone i know used to do this, and it looked pretty therapeutic so i decided to give it a try [edit] don't think i'll ever do this again, very tedious! but ok lah, i feel a bit better after that, and now i can just "delete all" and free up space for new inspiring messages! :P [/edit]anyways, these are the ones that made me smile :)

18.02 Javine: Sometimes life is hard, sometimes the truth is so hard to believe, sometimes circumstances become so large. Sometimes doubts prevail, sometimes everything's a mess, sometimes we are so confused. Sometimes we are so empty, sometimes we are so rebellious.. Well, GOD IS BIGGER THAN SOMETIMES. :)

22.37 ET: God hath not promised skies always blue Flower-strewn pathways all our live through God hath not promised sun without rain Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe. He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. But God hath promised strength for the day Rest for the labourer, Light for the way, Grace for the trials, Help from above, Unfailing sympathy, Undying love. //Yes, that was what i wanted to send you on fri night but kind of forgot oops. Haha God bless, darling. :)//:)

:) i had the best birthday of my life. lots of smses from people i dint expect to remember, and lots of meaningful cards, notes, presents. and 3 "happy birthday" songs, one fr the girl's team, one from the a01bs who came down to support + ky, and one from jo X) here's to the past seventeen years of fun, laughter, tears, confusion, rebelling-without-a-cause, jadedness, hope.. here's to re-commiting my life to God. :)
go to, then; your considerate stone.
