city slicker

the retreat turned out pretty pleasing
boring but still the company was good
could have been better but
we gotta be contented with what we've got!
and generally retreat-ish (:

it kinda reminded me that i should remember to be myself more often
cleared some thoughts
plus found some focuses (:
"gibbs, we've got a heading"
and get reminded that each one of us are precious
and you may touch lives without ever knowing it!
it was the small conversations and talks
that kinda struck me
like how we tend to be obsessed with small details
and forget to see the large picture
like how we forget to be grateful for being able to
wake up each morning to see blue sky
to be still breathing
and to catch glimpses of good friends in the corridors
between classes
that sort of little things
which make up a big good thing
big earthshaking miracles hardly happen
but the small miracles get us going right!

and i just caught hitch! :D
refreshing to watch it again
i think its funnayee (:

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie,
lie in the arms of the one you love.
If you must steal,
steal away from bad company.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink,
drink in the moments that take your breath away

Every evening sky, an invitation
To trace the patterned stars
And early in July, a celebration
For freedom that is ours
And I notice You
In children's games
In those who watch them from the shade
Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder
You are summer
