Rekindling

It's been ages since I've posted here, and I must say the me now and the me from all the way back in August of last year has been facing a whole different set of problems that were far from my mind...

And hence I feel the need to revive this blog, so that my thoughts can be collected and my tendency for introspection be rekindled. Life is hard. That's the one reality that I currently am facing right now, and its plain for me to see that the life ahead will be filled with difficulties that I now may not be able to comprehend. Marriage is one of those prospects, and specifically the monetary aspect of all of that...

I've always thought that my faith can stand all of that, but it isn't as easy as it seems with the looming need to consider everything with faith-less eyes, to count the costs and weigh the future. I'm hoping to keep away from that, and its tough. Now I see why many fall away from the faith at my stage of life, or at least their other priorities swallow them whole. I try to see the bigger picture of a life lived with Christ, but that's even more difficult because people around give advice that only make me see more of the darkness... I've received so many suggestions to go for a comfortably paid job that God's still small voice threatens to be overwhelmed. And for that reason I shall keep my heart and eyes open, and listen only to God.

Its not easy, and I know more than ever that I need God in my life. Its funny how things like these that threaten to tear you away from God can turn around and bring yourself closer to Him. I'm amazed at how God works!

So here's cheers to the rekindling of this blog, and with it my fire for God, my candlestick for all to see in a world of darkness (or at least I hope it has that effect despite my sin)! See you guys here soon!

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Bakemonogatari

Hiya everyone! Just signed my permanent staff contract today and I must say that was a real moment of satisfaction. Shows that the 2 years of hard work and dedication to what I do has paid off in a big way and I'm happy with my work. When I started my job I had no idea it would be this fulfilling and enjoyable and I am so blessed to have it. Couple of exciting things are happening: for one a holiday with my family to Korea. Other stuff include pay raises and the bonus that goes with it, Euro 2016 etc. I finally watched a match on Saturday (it was boring) but Sunday night's matches were great. Tonight not too sure if I'll watch any but it's shaping up to be an exciting tournament. Well that's all for now, more updates after the next series!
