Nakakahiya.

Currently, there is a controversy brewing in the community my family is part of. I've no knowledge of full details nor will I pretend to know. What I have are overheard statements and forwarded emails. But this 1 thing I know to be true. Why is a community, who's apparent center is the Lord, acting very human? I know it is their very nature, but for a community to espouse living in the Lord's image and likeness, it is surely showing the world the opposite. Say goodbye to credibility. If the community's inspiration is the Lord, then why are power, pride and division ruling? Shouldn't we opt for humility? Even as humans, we are capable of being humble. I think it is hypocrisy to put in quotes from the bible to prove points that will serve a selfish purpose. I think it is hypocrisy to extol all to pray to God to further their own means. Most of all, I think it is hypocrisy to be putting "God Bless You" at the end of a series of paragraphs meant to answer spite with spite.

If we truly aim to be God's people, then I should see humility. Sacrifice. I should see emulation of what Christ has done for his community. I don't.

Shame on you.

Thinking on a quiet Sunday night   At home, I have a mother who’s currently been ragging me on practically about everything I do   I leave home and run straight to…   A boyfriend who’s got all these rules and don’ts and restrictions   I don’t understand it. I’m trapped from both sides.   I know they mean well. I love them for it. And I love all the times when I don't get pagalitan.   But sometimes…    I really wonder why they try to change things about me by restricting me the stuff I’ve always done.   Is it always wrong? Am I always bad? Is it not acceptable? It may be a little thing about me, but must it be denied?   If it’s a part of me that’s always been there, does that mean that…   I can’t be fully me?   Why?    ?   -==-   There’s a show on ETC called Starting Over that my sister and I watch almost everyday. We started watching in the States ...

Arguing from the point of equality and other things

Yesterday, my sister texted that she was about to get that Canon SLR camera that I wanted. Well, my dad did tell me that both of us told him on separate occasions about the camera so... since she's there, she got hers. Now, being that lil child that I can be, I actually texted my parents asking why she's getting one and i'm not?! ahahah, laugh, i know it's worthy of laughter. In fact, Reg teased me about arguing from the point of equality. I said, we're ALWAYS arguing from the point of equality anyway. hehe :D So my sister and I were texting, as I was asking her which cameras were available in the store that they were in and lo and behold, they sell Leicas!! Wohoo! :) I may actually get my Leica after all. So now i'm torn. Which am I going to get? or Leica V-lux 1 and the Leica C-Lux 2 Unless someone tells me that the Leica D-Lux 3 is actually better? :D Tee hee, I can't wait to see these in person. -==- I had this thought tho, sometime during the night, i...
