a package deal

all we have to do is to surrender to God?

is that all? what's the catch?

To do it completely requires something we dislike very much: death. Not the death of the body. The body is not the obstacle. The ego is. Self-will is. We fear giving that up even more than we fear giving up our body to death — even though that ego, the thing St. Paul calls "the old man" in us, or the Adam in us, is the cause of all our misery.

chanced upon this amongst the load of readings that nick provided for our perusal.
doubt we'll have time to finish it all. a good reference for me though.

A tiring yet fruitful sunday
led my first connect session with jem, a good experience indeed
bah chor mee at railwaymall with the confirmants
cathecist meeting at 4
beauty world for dinner with the family
moolah spent on some cookbooks : )
dishes which i would like to try my hand at, and that is, if time permits.

second week of school. argh.
gotta start packing my stuff to move back into hall. lazyyy.


my random thought:
Island magazines
laidback, creates an all-dreamy feeling;
the carribeans and the almond beach resorts, bahamas and what nots.
when will that day come? when i can traverse to such beautiful places?
