Persons are gifts

Its 28 minutes past midnite.. and looking back at it, from behind the cosy walls of my room, it was surely one heck of a day. Or at least, one heck of an evening. Today, I was given the pleasure of hanging out with two separate groups of people at the same time... and they say we can't be in more than one place at a time.. wat do they know???

After Mass last evening, we headed to a chinese food court at SS2. Had iced barley with one group of friends....Then rushed to Murni's (while the rest of them were enjoying their meals) to meet a second group of friends for iced Milo and lame jokes. Then rushed back to meet the first group again....It was so much fun!!!

Well, I wasn't always a people person. I never really related well with people in general... but indeed, things have changed. Life is a lot more lively now, when I realised the worth of 'persons' ... My journey with Christ has lead me to recognise and celebrate the importance of relationships.. Communion with Him = Communion with each other. Although I may be guilty of overdoing it at times ( this includes my ecstatic 'hyper'-ness and stupid lame jokes), I must state here that I truly enjoy and appreciate the presence of 'persons' in my life...Though my friends would say this is 'oversaid', you people are really nice!!! and I'm sorry if it loses its effects...but I assure you it has not lost its meaning... I love you guys...All of you = )

A tribute to Love

Love... How shall I describe you?
You are desire,
you search, you seek,
and never stop until you find.
Once its found, you never let go,
and truly I am impressed by you,
for with such longing desire,
sacrifice finds place in your passion.

Love... How shall I describe you?
You are the gift of self.
You give completely, you withold nothing,
for the one that you desire,
is also the one that you offer up your entire being,
and truly I am impressed by you,
for with such empathic self-giving,
desire is purified in you.

Love... How shall I describe you?
You are filled with mercy and understanding.
You become the one that you desire,
To unite yourself in death with her,
That she may become like you,
And unite herself with life that defines you,
and truly I am impressed by you,
for your desire is so great,
it unites seeking with giving.

Love... How shall I describe you?
Your nature is life-giving,
Your intrinsic reality is goodness,
and truly I am impressed by you,
for your power is so great,
it defines my existence.

Beauty is an expression of you,
Tenderness is the touch of your hand,
Charity is how I see you.

Oh, how painful it is when I fail to respond to your call,
It hurts when I cannot return your tender carresses,
At times I shout "stay away from me!!",
for I'm unable to return your kindness.
My heart longs for you,
but my will is too weak...

But your kindness goes beyond my limitations,
It gives me first what it requires of me,
that I have no excuse,
for you were given to me that I may give of you.

You have given me your all,
and that sums every reason to keep on striving,
Until the day I return to your arms,
And see you face to face..

- To Love Itself...
