Trying This Out, Again

I'm back to using to using ecto!

Lady's Down

I dropped off the lady's things at her place just now, some of her papers being left at my place after yesterday.

I was just throwing a few ideas I had for the long term at her while we were talking and catching up about each other's day (hers, sleeping and recovering; mine, Church and a pounding headache). It's great to have someone to share ideas with, even though I'm blabbering and she's just nodding her head amused at me.

I was reviewing the past two months, and realized that one's plans can be entirely overturned with little notice. I had wanted to try out a job at a local education firm and build it before I started on this new job, and hopefully turn it into something I could juggle and expand on the side, while I fulfill my commitments to the new set up.

It's funny how the Lord changes your plans, upside-down-like, helping you understand that so many things which you thought you could count on to work are, in fact, "sinking sand". Which makes me curious as to how the next few months will play out - certainly not like I've intended - but I can say for certain it's been a very interesting ride so far.

John & Clara's Wedding Rehearsal & Some Thoughts

When I talk about John & Clara, I usually feel inexorably compelled to say that they've dated for nearly 15 years. Well, to be honest, that's hardly accurate - they've actually known each other for 15 years (my estimate - am I wrong?) but dated only for 5 (am I wrong again?).

Now that's off my chest I can finally say that I'm really happy for them! It's nice to see them finally get together, and I guess it must have been quite a wait for them, but hey, that's irrelevant now. In two days time, they'll be man and wife.

Which places the buck gently on my lap - the last in the group to be married.

As I had foreseen, I'm sensing that everyone in MBC's having a "wedding fatigue". It's not that they're lessing loving to us or anything - it's just that after a whole slew of weddings, humans are going to get tired. And tired, in my opinion, I think they are.

Which brings me here and now. Having foreseen this chain of events, I've tried my dead-level best to make sure we tax the brethren as little as possible. After all, it's School Holidays / VBS / Teens Camp / Year-End Recap / Year-End Retreat / Holiday Season, so I'd feel rotten to ask for more help than presence. I must admit though that it's taken a toll on my savings - but I guess it's one or the other. Plus, I really would want the brethren to be guests and not feel stretched in a time when everyone's supposed to be happy for us.

So long as the Lord is honored and His name is praised in it all, then that's enough for me.

Wedding NEWS! John and Clara Get Married

In about 5 days, long-time buddies and Church brethren John and Clara will be married!

Good stuff, guys! It probably felt like the past few months went by in a flash, hope you guys have some time to catch your breath this week - hey, you do realize that you are in the last week you are single, don't you? :)

Makes me feel a little nervous, now that mine's about 4 months away...

Anyway, manifold blessings to you, with ten thousand beside!

Back from a Long Break

Back am I!

I really haven't bothered about this blog for quite a while, I think that "get to work" part of me has mostly been hibernating, trying to dodge the things that I have been trying to get done in the recent holiday I gave myself.

I guess that as long as I am in the mood to slack, the only way out the pit of procrastination is to have someone prod me - nay, forcefully kick me - to start. Then, somehow, the old machinery starts up again.
I'm starting another blog, something I think I will be doing on a longer term basis (after all, I won't be in the state of "going-to-be-married" forever).  It's still evolving somewhat, so I guess I'll keep kneading the idea until I'm satisfied with it, and once it takes shape, I'll put a link here.

Watch out for it!

I'll talk more about the wedding prep in the next post.

Seeya soon!
