If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I'm so despondent
That I feel the need to
Fly like a bird,
Take to the sky,
I need the strength, God,
to carry me high.
Sometimes a prayer stops short because you just don't know what else to ask for, since it feels like He gave you everything already. Plus, it makes the whole situation seem like you're just being selfish and greedy because you keep wanting even more since nothing's ever enough.

interesting.
sometimes, it's not about asking, it's about not-asking (gratitude).
ok, im way outta my league here. and just so, if you're wondering. =)
hello there,
i've always thought of God as an all-giving entity and to me, it seems like such a waste not to ask from the only divine being who WILL listen to even the silliest of wants and desires, right? Gratitude is rather temporary and I'm afraid to admit that there's always something lacking, somehow. Thus, i find myself very surprised when all of a sudden, i have nothing more to pray for. At that moment, it felt like everything's falling into place, finally, yanoe?
Haha, anw, what is a person like YOU doing reading my silly old blog? It's way beneath your league man.
hello...
ya inoe, i feelya! you've got a point though. but if there's something lacking, then there's always something to ask for right? getting or achieving something is always easier than maintaining it - which is a bitch, to me at least. i'd personally ask for consistency then. i don't know you or what you're going through but it seems you're (& have been) very blessed but the long road ahead isn't always a smooth one, so maybe that's something to pray/ask for?
im not pious or any shit like that, don't want to come off as a preachy bastard but maybe the 3As (i just coined it this very minute so pardon me if it doesn't make much sense) will help: ask (pray) action (effort) and acceptance (gratitude)? i don't know. or perhaps if you feel like theres nothing more to ask for, for yourself, you can always ask/pray for others around you? you can even ask/pray that this random stranger here (me) strike rich to retire young. heck i wouldn't mind!
anws, i've lost my train of thought, i don't know where i'm going with this. im just blabbering away.
hoi, if this is a silly old blog, then it makes me sillier to be reading it...wahlauwei! seriously, you want me to be honest wit ya?
hahaha i read your reply in one breath and it kinda made sense.
I'm not very pious either but i like to keep in touch and just talk it out.
That's why i termed it as an incomplete prayer bec you've prayed for just about everybody you care about and then suddenly ur all stumped cause you dunno what you wanna ask for yourself.
Ok, here's one for a stranger; "I hope that strangers can turn into friends.Cause some strangers can be an enriching experience; because they bring in strange forms of knowledge." Hold on, that sounded like one for myself instead. Mmmmkay.
Yeah hit me with the truth.
Oh, OH, sure.
I pray for KLS to strike rich & retire young. And I pray that when he does reach that stage, he'd be kind enough to remember the less fortunate and donate a substantial amount to help stop animal abuse.
Can? Hahaha
omg for once i actually made sense? you must be one of the rare breeds then. keeping in touch and talking it out is good, keeps the rusty brain/soul clogs turning yea.
hmmm i dont know why, but im still curious, you dont know what to ask for yourself because 1) you've got everything/one covered alr, 2) you really really have no clue. which is it? if all else fails, err you can always ask for something to ask for?
anywaysss see, there! i alr made you ask for something for yourself even without you knowing and something for me! theres always something to ask for, just need the nudge in the right direction thats all. ;)
ooh ooh amin amin amin x infinity & beyond! (ok pardon the lameness again.) if your prayers come true, heck i'll donate books, toys and a substantial amount to stop children abuse! no more schools, classes and exams, just p.e. and recreation all the way! and sure, i'll set up concentration camps specially just for those animal abusers too, just because.
the truth is, *clears throat* uh hum, im a sucker for dimples and well written reads. there i've said it. ok darn, now wheres that damn pillow to bury my face in?
It's actually both reasons. Haha. But it only applies in the context of the time when that post was written. Now I have more things to ask for already.
There's no needta be shy! I'm a sucker for people with the ambition to make it big rich and fast. Plus an eye for photography? Bonus! And what's more, a Lee! It rhymes with broccolee. Ok that's just lame.. But I'm a sucker for childish rhymes :) so sue me. Or otherwise throw a sack over my head. Also can. LOL
oh. chey! make me write so long make myself confuse only! gd gd, ask many many eh.
alamak shy la, and you forgot the im-a-bore part la. oh yes i have huge ambitions but getting there is a diff story, that will take some (lotsa) time. uh huh someone's been checking eh, tell you the truth again, i nearly wanted to use the 'lee' bit (sharing the same surname as your blog) initially when you asked me who i was but reckoned was too lame for an intro. anws since you alr mentioned it, i feel right at home now! *dumps away smelly pillow*
i'll catch you again on your next blog post then. be good. ;)
you, boring? -.-
well, i spent approx 15-20 mins scrolling and reading through your more recent posts and i didn't yawn even once!
surfing at work eh? naughty.
well, that's just because you haven't hit the 30mins mark yet!
anyways, speak for yourself. you're too kind, thank you though. ;)
you update your blog la! haha
