I've wanted to change my layout but I wanted to have time to do it, ya know? So I don't really know how I feel about this one. I'll just give it a week or so and decide by then if I should make this simpler. I'm not much of a layout/template-making person... I like simple and I'm more on content or material rather than appearance. I might do away with the background but I think it works. Of course, the reason why I'm not into making my own layout is that I don't really know how. I'm not that pro. In the past, I would devote my time to learning how to make my own and figure out what I really want. it's complicated, no? No one really teaches me these things so I end up learning on my own.
My goal this semester break is to rest. At the same time, I want to be productive and clean, clean, clean! I've been slacking off on the cleaning for the past 2 weeks or so because of school and studying for final exams... my body was so ready for the vacation but I kept telling my body, "no! I need you to not be so tired! MUST. STUDY." I have no idea how I will be able to stay up late to study while going on duty throughout the week. God-willing and by His strength, I can do it. One step at a time is all I need. And sometimes I need to take a step back every time I look too far ahead.
The thing about me is I really really like making lists. I like writing things down on-- you guessed it-- post-it notes and putting it on my whiteboard or pinning it on my cork board. making lists and making a note of things makes my life so much easier. I can be very forgetful and my thoughts can be very disorganized if I don't put it in writing of some sort. I'm sure this goes for most people. The problem is sometimes I don't carry out what's on my list. I'm good at planning but for some reason, whether it's laziness or other circumstances, my plan doesn't go through. I guess it's God's plan, right? His timing is perfect and His plans are far greater than mine. I'll keep that in mind.
I hope and pray I can get the things I want done to be done before the start of my second semester here in the PI. At the same time I don't want to overwork myself... sleep is very very very important. it's just as important as breakfast in the morning. I'll be lacking sleep as time goes on because, hey, I'm a college kid. That just means I have to use my time wisely.
Praise God for people. for those I still keep in touch with even if it's through facebook. I'm still thankful. I know how to be on my own without feeling lonely. The fact is I like being by myself sometimes. I think it's important to have some alone time and to really reflect, check yourself and ask God what needs to be done. What would you need to pray to Him for? what attitudes would you need to change? What has God been teaching you? Yesterday, Thursday, I learned that being judgmental can condemn the person if you don't follow up with encouragement. I find myself guilty with that a lot of the times. It's good to see that you don't know the whole story of that person. Sometimes, we have to give the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, God will judge us the same way we judge others. Just think about that. And only say something to that person if you yourself have gone through this situation and actually overcame it. Don't try solving other people's problems when you yourself have that problem.
it's such a simple lesson.
you can't judge a book by its cover.
Don't judge.
Don't remove the speck in the other person's eye when you have a plank in your own eye.
we might fail to see the plank in our own eye because we don't want to admit that we have one. it's easy to see something wrong in someone else's life because it's not your own problem. it's just so easy.
anyways, it's an interesting topic to ponder over.
it's almost 1:30am... so it's Saturday here.
and I still refuse to update the timezone.
