learning to trust

Speaking about moving on previously...

last week we get the news that we have to move out once our contract ends as the landlord wants to move in (or so that's what they tell us!).

So hunt for a new apartment began... not much to choose from as we ( me & my housemate) wants to stay in the same neighbourhood. I wont go to the details how it has been going on... but its just a very tiring process and we just had to put all our trust in these two lovely agents who we were not so sure in the beginning, but today they finally proved to be the sweetest most sincere agents i've known... i mean i don't think im being gullible saying this.. because i know u may be thinking these real estate agents just want the money, but these girls give me a different impression!

just sayin' today i learnt that there are still plenty of good people out there.. and even tho i try not to easily trust people.. i think i should go with my gut sometimes!

movin on!

people come,

people go,

they cross your path,

as you flow..

maybe you learn something,

maybe you see differently,

maybe even your heart is touched,

maybe its just meant to be.

people come,

and then they go,

u wish they'd be there forever,

but a scar is all that's left,

just gotta go with the flo'...

and keep movin' on.

chapter 5 - bliss

This blog has been in hibernate mode for a lil too long!

Well that's coz i'm in middle kingdom living chapter 5 of me life. and its seems to be an awesome chapter, Im sure it will continue to be too :)

FINALLY i feel independent... and gosh its such a great feeling! even tho i know i need to clean the apartment, cook, buy groceries, wash clothes...but the freedom of it is just priceless..plus living in this place just makes it all the sweeter...

not to say its been all rosy posy since I came..not at all.. i've been faced with some pretty tough situations, still do in fact... but they don't really matter... for I'm a happy lil person (not so lil in this country!) living me life like i want it to be!

This is really the country of the future, and everyday i feel so blessed to be here. :)

Tests

yesterday was a tough day of fasting.

I realized that I have no patience! be it on the road, or with people...

I'm still waiting to go.. being in limbo stage ain't all that fun... it requires patience too... and somehow i feel like im not having much of it lately.... everyday i can feel my soul drowning deeper n deeper into somewhere unknown.. yikes!

I need to find my peace back.. this is my test.. to learn to be patient under all conditions and lay all my affairs in His hands...I have another 12 days before the fast is over and this special time is gone... oh boy!

O God! please help me!

Heloo March!

Why hellooo there!

Here u are March.. and here am I still at home... its ok.. lets do this again 1 more time before i actually really leave (at some point!).

Fasting Month is here...and last year i tried me best to post everyday on my reflections of the day.. this year I shall direct you to an awesome website which I love to go to during this time because it's very refreshing : Nineteendays is a collection of pictures coming from different people, each day there are 2 people sharing their pictures and their thoughts together with quotations from the Writings or prayers.

Hope u enjoy it as much as I do every year.. will see how mine goes this year. I think it'll be challenging seeing that i have ample time on me hands.. I hope it'll be spiritually uplifting!

Happy Fasting to all my Baha'i Friends!
