"we are made to let go and lose the people we love because how else would we understand how important they are for us"

I've realized how important you are,

then why do I still have to eventually LET you GO.

darn!

a birthday wish

it's 1.5 hours til your birthday and here I am, miles away from you, wishing so hard I was there right at 00.00, knocking on your bedroom door, looking at your priceless surprised face when I bring you a candle-lit cake.

But sometimes dreams will only be dreams. 
Pardon my brain, pardon my limitations, but I can only write this note wishing you a super duper blessed birthday, wrapped with sincere prayers, endless good lucks, piles of best wishes.

I may not have a street full of lit-up candles to greet you 'happy birthday'
I may not have any surprise party to wake you up in the middle of the night
I may not have any grand presents for your birthday

I may not even be on your side on your special day
but I'm telling you
my outstretched hands are always ready to embrace you and help you out

my smiling eyes always look after you
my heart still cares
and I'm still here, the same friend you had back then,

only a call away, yes you can always find me on the other side of the phone

Happy birthday, DENISE

Ti Amo,

no, don't

what if I say don't go

japanese and their engRish part 2

well I just got home, after closing the camp with overflowing foods, unexpectedly 'okay' presentations from the kids, and waved goodbyes.

Regardless their limited engRish, this camp has been a really great experience I treasure. 

I'm proud to see them trying their best to make the presentations, I was touched to see the sign-board they gave me, and, most importantly,

instead of teaching them *which I think doesnt have that much influence since it's only for two days and we speak Japanese in 90% of the conversations*, I learn how nice it feels to share my thoughts to others, and how priceless to know I can inspire other people, be someone they can look up to and hearing them saying 'I like your presentation and I wanna try harder for my future'.

I am touched indeed.

So, I have taken another step forward on this leading-to-my-future path.

Yes, being an inspiration, passing the blessing I've got, and be SOMEBODY in someone's live have always been one of my dreams - and this camp has given me the chance to put a small piece in this yet incomplete puzzle of my future.

From now on, I gotta continue finding the other scattered pieces. I know it's a tough work but knowing that I have a beyond-wonderful heavenly Father, I believe I can. And so can you.

じゃあ、これから夢に向かって頑張ろううう！！
