so it's the new year once again. welcome 2013.
christmas is over and so is new year's eve stuff. spent my nye in church attending appreciation night followed by watch night service. some kind of tradition for i don't know how many years. went to daryl's house for boardgames session with people 3 years older than me. haha. enjoyable.
anyway, it suddenly dawned upon me. after looking at people's twitter accounts and tweets, yes i admit i stalk people casually, i think some people are totally strange. i always wondered how is it possible to chat so much with someone virtually (like sms/twitter/instagram/facebook or whatever kind of social media) and yet just say a hi, or worse, don't even say hi face to face. like what. am i in a different generation already? can't seem to understand the way people function. no wonder some say that social media makes you different online and offline. i'll feel awkward if i talk to someone so much online yet hardly chat in real life. enough of that. i feel like i'm just repeating my points. not smart.
recently i've been into purchasing songs from itunes. not a very good habit because i'll spend money unknowingly. but i'm very satisfied with my purchases. bought some christian songs. oh and i really really like this song, Our God by Chris Tomlin. the music is genius and so are the lyrics. the strings music motif in the start is totally nice and yes, as a string player, i really do appreciate strings. i think they sound the nicest (as compared to brass/wind instruments)
just a little reflection on 2012, specifically in my new area of service as a DGL. i'm glad to have gotten closer to my girls. i hope that they'll continue to open up to me, treat me like a friend but also be willing to listen during bible study. and that they can continue to grow in the knowledge of God and also to grow in faith. i know that none of them seem to take their faith seriously. well if they have, they haven't been displaying it much. so yeah, i can't wait for them to grow up:D i'll be so happy the day i see them serving faithfully and truly enjoying coming to church. that's my goal for 2013 i would say. be a good leader to my cute bunch of girls(:
till then,

J.
