it's time.

spm results were out today.
not like it concerns me, but seeing a few old faces made me think about last year.
I had a horrible year. excluding being in 3 Belian,that is :)
I think that I'm a totally changed person now. I see so many things so differently. My whole perception about ALOT of things has changed. My principles,especially, have drastically changed. & I'm so happy it did. My life has truly been so much better ever since.
Just going to Mentari once a week has absolutely changed me, and I just love being of service. It really does make me appreciate things alot more, and it encourages and pushes me not to become hypocritical.
I feel like doing what the stereotypical teenager thinks is fun isn't at all admirable. We, so easily fall into peer pressure and we often do things just cause society dictates that it's "cool".
I don't ever want to fall into that category.
My idea of fun is going to Mentari and teaching the children's class there.
It makes me happier than ever.
Whenever a new week comes, the first thing that comes into my mind is Mentari.
I'm so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to serve.
This year excites me. Though sometimes, I do complain about school and class, which I should really stop doing cause it doesn't make the situation any better.
Today, I realised that, I shouldn't focus on the negative things that I don't like about class, the more I shut those negative thoughts out, the better I feel, and the more happy I become in class.
I said it before, It just takes a little getting used to.
and I think I'm getting used to it. I kinda like the people in class :)

today's the 11th day of fast.
Just 8 more days till it's over, and till NawRuz comes.
but I don't want The Fast to end, I absolutely love this time of the year (:


For a certain someone, I know you're going through a tough time, I love you very much, and I'm praying so very hard for her to recover.

"Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
-Bahá’u’lláh

big things, big changes

If you're wondering who Rainn Wilson is, he plays the geeky weird Dwight Schrute in the hit series The Office.
















and also, a fellow Baha'i :)



It's funny how everything seems to be falling into place so fast.
I see change happening around me. Everything's moving at a good pace, and I can't help but be extremely excited to see what happens next.
The world is changing, we just gotta be a part of it :)

He talks about Soul Pancake, a blog that he co-founded, along with DEVON GUNDRY (I've mentioned him before in my blog, the one with the out of this world voice (: )

To know more about it, http://www.soulpancake.com/

Many of us youth, are afraid and uncomfortable about finding out what life really is. Youth are afraid to answer life's biggest questions. Sometimes, well, most of the time, many youth don't have the proper or comfortable place to discuss such issues that really really should be discussed.

I cut & pasted this from the website (:

WHAT IS SOULPANCAKE?

Visit SOUL PANCAKE and chew on life's biggest questions :)

i can't find the words, you teach my heart to speak

We had open fast at my house last night.
For some reason, I felt more united with everyone there.
I love being around them, they make me feel so at home. It never matters what kind of clothes you wear, whether you're rich or poor, whether we're of different races or backgrounds. The love that is there is.. incomparable.
I love my friends soooo much. I love serving with them, having choir practice with them, just being around them.
I love my family, my cousins who always put a huuuuuuge smile on my face :) :)
I love serving with them at Mentari :)
I love what my life is. It is so productive, it has so much meaning, I have direction.
Never will I go back to what my life used to be. Well, after experiencing what happens on the other side, I've come to realise that it's these simple things that brings true happiness.
