if you have money...

spend it well.

coz those of us who actually need it--
well, we need it for actual worthwhile things like, tuition.

so if any of you gazillionaires would like to donate to my need.
the help would be greatly appreciated.

yes, for once, i'd like to voice out my frustration with the damn economy.

gear up.

"For it means when someone is taken out of this world as a believer in Jesus Christ and becomes a follower of him, he is forever a stranger and a sojourner on this earth. ...

He said, “I can never feel at home in your home.  Paul was referring to this when, in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 8 he said, ‘To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord.’”  And then looking out over the vast audience in the silence of the moment he said, “Since I’ve become a Christian, this world is not my home.”  That’s beautiful, but that is the exact fact.

Since we have become believers, this world is not our home.  The foxes have holes.  The birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head.  And the disciple of Jesus Christ, who intends to truly follow him wherever he goes, can never be at home in this world.  The world is not my home.  We are passing through, on the way, to our true home, for our citizenship is in heaven."  - Dr. S. L. Johnson, reading from Precept Austin.

Not everyone will understand, and not everyone will love me.

At least the one that counts does.

#Jesus.

GO.

absolute truth.
done & done.

true.

the joy of the last spare minute of your battery life.

that could almost be something, a line, lyric of a song...

today. i think i passed another phase of the application process to the first dream i think i might ever be completely.. wait, no-- at least 98% sure of. i find that there is no certainty in this life, except in the one thing that only eyes of faith could see. you know who i'm talking about,...  this guy: Jesus.

so anyway, i can't express enough of the burden that's been lifted off of my shoulders. there's no knowing what'll happen when i submit the golden ticket to be reviewed over on the southeast side of the pacific. but here's to another day; blessed and conquered.

God is so good! And He will make a way.

Here's to the future and this week.

Amex

I came across an Amex (American Express) print ad that I ripped off a magazine, probably years ago, and I thought I'd answer their little survey today (part of the Ad) ... Idk, if you've ever come across these:

Tina Fey's... I thought hers was hilarious (of course).. but the survey I hold in hand is actually Kate Winslet's and I'm not sure whether hers has the same questions. Hmm. Well, I'll answer the questions posted anyway:

My name: Anina. (Yes, I will leave it at that.)
Childhood Ambition: Not truly sure. At one point, I wanted to be a pediatrician, and then an architect, and for a long time I wanted to be a fashion designer, but then all that changed... so.. hmm.
Fondest Memory: Right now, probably traveling on the rail system in Melbourne and Sydney.
Soundtrack: If you ask, current anthem, then probably God is Able, by Hillsong Live.
Retreat: Manila is always fun for me.
Wildest Dream: To be able to travel all around the world with no expense limit.
Proudest Moment: Truth be told, I've not yet come across one.
Biggest Challenge: 2011.
Alarm Clock: 9:00 a.m. through my phone.
Perfect Day: Awake at 7 a.m., light and fresh breakfast, pack my belongings in one suit case, then hop on a plane to Manila, Melbourne, then Sydney <3!
First Job: Clean and Green, Los Angeles. $7.25/hr.
Indulgence: Pastries, Chocolates, Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt. Maybe all things dessert-y!
Last Purchase: A bag of groceries.
Favorite Movie: Honestly, first always, the Matrix. So amazed!
Inspiration: .. and hope. Jesus.
My life: I feel, has only begun, and I am both terrified and excited to face this brave new world.
My card... well, I honestly am thinking of getting a Capital One Venture card instead of Amex. LOL.

Tata, got a bit more things to do before I head off to a short day at work :)
