prata supper at 11pm last nite with my usual supper kakis and swensons sundae after dinner tonite. yikes! no more sinful fattening stuff for the rest of the week or i'll be gaining back all the flab i lost in a blink of an eye.

levi's is on sale again, n wanted to try on this faded pair but they only had size 25 left. like bleah, only the unrealistic sizes make it to the sales rack.

that's daniel n yushan u see in the pic. it was a nice cosy dinner n dan was nice enough to send me home. i think one of best things abt growing up (n getting older) is that frens start driving n transportation becomes so much easier n convenient. =)

spent a big part of the afternoon just walking ard on my own b4 mtg them for dinner. i enjoy doing things on my own now, going wherever i please. sometimes it gets abit tricky when i'm not sure abt whether to make that purchase n need a 2nd opinion. but its usually solved by walking away n seeing if i still think about it half an hour later, den i'll know if i hafta head back =p n thats also when i wish KAIMONO is in existence, haha - ok, think only justin will understand this thought.

wanna share the following from my current read: "Passion & Purity" by Elisabeth Elliot. had such an epiphany moment as i sat in mosburger sipping my ice peach tea n muching on little apple pies while i read the passage.....

"There is no ongoing spiritual life without this process of letting go. At the precise point where we refuse, growth stops. If we hold tightly to anything given to us, unwilling to let it go when the time comes to let it go or unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used, we stunt the growth of the soul.
It is easy to make a mistake here. "If God gave it to me," we say, "it's mine. I can do what I want with it." No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory."

As yushan mentioned, the truth is everything, our entire salary is from God, n tithes are only one-tenth... yet here i am, lousy me, thinking if i shld offer 10% gross or net income. =( oh how the flesh struggles.
