Sweet Sixteenth! (: @ 2:34 AM
Dear Lord,

Thank You for my sixteenth birthday! Sixteen years since You brought me into this world! Well, it took some time for me to find my way through the darkness to my Father, but nevertheless thank You so much for what You've given me. There're so many things to thank You for, but since it's my birthday I'll just focus on a few. (:

Thank You for giving me life. Thank You for saving me some time 2 years ago, thank You for bringing me through so many trials that would have otherwise been impossible for me to overcome. Thank You for using me in Your mighty, perfect plan and for moulding me into more of a blessing to the people around me. Thank You for everyday I go through - though it's tough Inknow You're always in control. (: Thank You for my loving family, friends, and lifegroup who stand by me through thick and thin. Just thank You so, so much for everything You have blessed me with in my life. :))

I pray that even as I grow older this year, You'll just refine me into someone more like You, someone more Christ-like. Someone who glorifies Your Name, who shines Your amazing light, who carries Your presence and love to the people aroun her. Use me as You will; I know sometimes I limit You with my fear and hesitation, but let that be eradicated this year. I want to be a woman after Your heart, running after You and striving for Your will and purpose to be done. Let me not stray away or fall sick spiritually, but let me continuously trust in You and be of a great impact for You. :)

In Jesus' Name I ask and pray,
Amen!

Refine me, till I am pure as gold
Refine me, till I have more of You
I desire to be like You
Bring You glory in all I do
- Refine Me, Melissa

His Love
that lasts forever.

A rare breather. @ 6:03 PM
First post since school started! Hahas to sum it up, everything's been pretty crazy and draining - what with homework, more challenging lessons, planning angklung stuff, leaving house at 6am every morning, spending as much time as I can with my dear sisters before they go back to Aussie, CNY visiting, lifegroup planning, debate research, and a whole ton of stuff I can't really remember, everything's been yeah like I said, pretty crazy and draining!

I think my body kinda reached its limit, plus the contaminated food (boohoo) I ate 3 days back and now I've food poisoning. ): But I believe it's a blessing in disguise! No, I'm not trying to be a "the glass is half full" person or anything, but really! Like just on Thursday I was thinking to God "aklmfreuijfnakdfnjloaiu God so busy I really want some time to just chill and talk to You about stuff!" and *BAM*! Next morning, felt so nauseous I went to sick bay for an hour. Peace, quiet and lone time. (: And I took that time to get my thoughts settled and to pray and ask God about some.. decisions that I have to make. And! This blog post in itself is already evidence lol! Over the weekend I'd usually be chionging work, having discipleship and all that, but guess what my homework's with Ruoyi so I can't do much (haha) and I was too sick just now to go for discipleship -- SERIOUSLY after I ate my medicine I was so drowsy I could barely keep my eyes open. o_O And yeah, now I'm here blogging and feeling happy that I finally get to spam my blog hoho. :P

Yupp and of course, thank God for all the strength He's given me in just this 4 weeks! Really impossible to go through without Him, and He never fails to turn things round every time. (: ♥ The world and the circumstances tell me straight in the face "NO WAY YOU CAN DO THIS!" but I turn to God and He just says "trust in Me" and there you go, all's well. :D


Hehe. ♥ Okay on to other stuff!!


Well, amidst all the piles s of work to settle, I've been reading One Piece fanficcs!! :DDD Yes, someone kill me now and ask me what on earth I've been doing with my precious time.. but yeah anyway! I found this really UBER AWESOMEZX AUTHOR - akurosa! He(she?)'s a Korean but WHOA he writes like super amazingly! :D So far he has only written OP fics, but THEY'RE AMAZING you've got to read them if you ♥ One Piece! xD Most of them are about Luffy & Zoro's nakamaship -- no, not like LuZo or ZoLu or whatever you call it, but it's like their... okay no I can't put nakamaship into words or it'll take the magic away! ): Uhm. Aiyah you'll get it if you read it okay HAHA. xD

It's really really kewl how everyone's totally in character, and how each character's feelings and emotions are expressed so, so, accurately and idk how to say it but his writing just makes you feel it! ♥♥ Makes me melt and fall in love with Zoro all over again and again hahah. Okay not forgetting Luffy too but anyway! :P Hehe nakamaship just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside somehow; the close bonds between the Strawhats, the special moments they hold together, their complete trust and confidence in each other.. ♥ xD *floats in blisssss*~ ^^

I haven't finished reading a few of his fanfics, but so far "the heart breaks but broken live on" and "Breathtaking, in So Many Ways" are my favourites! :D The first one's about each of the Strawhat's feelings during the 2 years they spent apart, while the second one's about each of the Strawhat's reactions to Zoro's sacrifice after Thriller Bark. (: ♥ Both are quite sad but c'mon, it's only when sad stuff happens that you can see their strong bonds with each other! I mean, when times are good are you see is them goofing around. :3 Nothing against that, but it's just different kinds of awesomeness haha. :D


Okay enough with fanfiction! Next up!


Xinci (my cousin who lives in Taiwan~) posted this on her facebook! :D

HEHE it's like some One Piece King trivia reality show thingy in Japan luh, basically. xD So far I've only watched 1 ep and it's already so funny! :P Kimura Takuya (yes, the Gatsby guy) is AMAZING. Okay actually all of the 6 contestants are -- I mean, who remembers exactly what each character says?! o_O But it's quite cool. One of the questions was like, what Zoro said before he let Mihawk slash him back at Baratie. Answer was: "背中の傷は剣士の恥だ / Senaka no kizu wa kenshi no haji da". And they all knew?! o_O

Hah but it was quite funny 'cause there were 2 special guests who didn't watch One Piece, and they kept like purposely criticising / comparing stuff to other anime lol!! And it's hilarious how Takuya always gives them the *death glareeeeee* or the -what on earth is wrong with you- look everytime they do that haha!! Like, they were commenting that Zoro didn't look like a swordsman 'cause of the haramaki (belly warmer), so Takuya was like saying that One Piece characters are very 时尚 and all that lol! But the guys were just like ".. but the haramaki..!" and Takuya's like *death glare* "Haramaki? You have a problem with haramaki?!" LOL. xD And then they started to make a joke out of Zoro's quote, saying "お腹冷えちゃうのは剣士の恥だ / Onaka hiechao no wa kenshi no haji da" LOL. It was annoying RAWR but super funny all the same LOL! Basically Zoro's quote was saying that an injury to a swordsman's back is a swordsman's shame, and the other guy went to say that a swordman's belly becoming cold is a swordman's shame LOL. xD Heee but really funny how Takuya & the other contestants keep bashing the special guests and the emcee who didn't watch One Piece too LOL.

Like when the emcee accidentally called Takuya 海賊王 which is supposed to be Luffy; Takuya's One Piece 王 lol!! Hee super funny lah Takuya's reaction. xD (Y) He was like gonna Diablo Jambre the emcee LOL. xD Oh and at the end of ep 2 Takuya lost to some random guy (only 'cause the last question was worth 10 points which made all the previous questions worthless pshft and 'cause he pressed the bell faster..), then he quoted Zoro and said "俺はまだまだ強くなる!!" teehee. xD Takuya is seriously a OP freak, to be able to quote so much stuff lol!

OHYEAH okay back to them being really pro!! Like, the last question was: in the scene where the Strawhats were leaving Vivi and they showed the "X" on their arms, in which order were they standing? And Takuya IMMEDIATELY pressed the bell and answered the question with the right answer. O_O I mean SERIOUSLY, who remembers?! They even remember Dr Hiluluk's quote ended with a "sa" and not a "da". o_O

Hahaha okay I shall stop spamming my fangirly-ness LOL. Ahh but really cool how they remember every tiny detail. xD

His Love
that lasts forever.

Slacking around~ XII @ 11:55 AM
KHR 366
As Tsuna and Byakuran fight back to back, Tsuna questions why Byakuran is fighting so hard for Uni, despite his bloodthirsty self who killed and took over all the parallel worlds in the future. Byakuran, in reply, said that he wanted to protect and give his all for his friends - just like Tsuna. Hahas and with that the talk talk ended and the battle began! The "real" illusions are really scary - they just pop out of nowhere and you can't even feel their flames! It's like the world going crazy. o:

With the illusionists' ability, they spammed missiles at the 2 teams - Tsuna wanted to stop all of them with one shot with his flames, but if he did that his watch would overheat and BOOM or something and Reborn's team would be out. ): So yeah, the others had to fend for themselves in the explosion. Okay but that wasn't so bad!! The annoying part was when Zakuro transformed into the monster thingy, and Kikyo's like *grab his watch* and crushed it! And then it was actually Mukuro in disguise as Kikyo PSHFT. -.- So now Zakuro's out. ):

Meanwhile, Tsuna engages Mukuro after finding him in his true form! Ken and Chikusa try to interfere, but Gamma engages them instead! :D Yepp then after that the REAL Kikyo activates his dragon/dinosaur thingy~. Then Fran like cute luh, he just spammed missiles and shouted "INCOMINGGGGGG~" like he just shot fireworks or something lol!

THEN THE END OF THE CHAPTER WAS LIKE WHUUUUUUUUUUUUT! Amidst all that battle... Colonello lurked somewhere on a cliff faraway, aiming his ultra power gun at the entire battlefield! From his position, he can take out all the boss watches at the same time!! :@ So then he releases his curse, and prepares to shoot! Like whuuuuuuuut?! Wasn't he allies with Tsuna?! O_O AHHHH WHAT IS THIS.

On a random note, LOL BYAKURAN:



KHR 367
O_O Colonello shoots!! His gun like power sia! (Y) With one shot, Kikyo, Ken and Chikusa were taken out. For Mukuro, Fran, Byakuran and Gamma's watch, still not sure if it's destroyed! And he made sure Tsuna's team didn't get shot. :D AHHH but so annoying! Iemitsu contacts Tsuna to get him, Goku and Yama to leave so they can exterminate Team Uni & Verde, but Tsuna refuses 'cause Uni's his ally as well! But then Iemitsu's just like "That has nothing to do with my team", and then Iemitsu then terminates their alliance and target Tsuna's team as well! SERIOUSLY IEMITSU YOU CAN GO AND DIE NOW. :|

Pshft. Anyway, over at Hibari's side, he goes to the hotel to hunt down Dino, but unfortunately... meets the entire Varia in the lift LOL. Hibari vs Varia?! That'd be interesting! :3



Bleach 478
.... I'm starting to not understand Bleach at all. ._.||

Well so Tsukishima's going all "WHY DID YOU DIE GINJOU" blahblahblah and yeah, but it was quite sad 'cause he was asking (to no one in particular lol) why Ginjou taught him everything, except what to do when Ginjou died. Lol and he's like dying? Idk. But then Shishigawara (I hate his name seriously SO LONG cnnt rmb lol!!) came and carried him off into the sunset sunrise, saying how he's glad Tsukishima didn't die and how invincible Tsukishima is and how they're bros and whatnot. And it was then that Tsukishima realised... he was never alone. I don't see how it links. But yeah so basically before that he was all like ~what should I do without Ginjou~ but no he has Shishigawara who's loyal to him? And Ginjou didn't say anything 'cause he knew all along that Tsukishima wasn't alone. I guess that's what he means. o_O Not sure.

Yupp then for the other fullbringers! Riruka didn't die whoohoo! I thought she was annoying at first but okay lah, she was the only one who stood up against Tsukishima and came to her senses. :3 Giriko (the ahpek) died but then again who cares right. Jackie survived yay! I don't see how/why/when 'cause she should have been dead before Renji could escape... but yeah anyway she lost her fullbring. Then Yukio(♥)!! At first he was all like ~I feel no link with you guys despite us all being fullbringers *cold*~, but then he said to Jackie: "Give me three years. I'll grow up a little in three years. I'll make the company three times as large, then I'll come back... I'll come back and let all of you work for me. You're a bunch of misfits who can't survive without my money anyway." ♥ Hah awww. xD He loves them, so obvious! *w*

Hee okay Bleach is weird, I don't get the train of thought/flow. Ah well, whatever, One Piece still best forever! (:

His Love
that lasts forever.



A New Beginning. (; @ 11:11 AM
Okay a bit late, but anyway, 2012 begins! Having mixed feelings - I know it's gonna be a tough year ahead, but nevertheless looking forward to God doing awesome things in my life! I wanna reach out to more people, build people up, give my best in everything, excel, glorify God, serve His kingdom and more than anything else, grow closer to God. (: ♥ Well this is a bad summary but basically I just want to be doing God's Will wherever I am! :D

Looking back, 2011 has been awesome! Well, it wasn't an awesome journey, but through it I've learnt so many things. The trials, though tough, taught me to rely on God at all times, to trust in Him and to keep holding on. So many things I've done wrong, but still His mercy and love remains and He has given me so much! But with what He has given me, this year I want to give it back to others. 'Cause I'm blessed to bless others! (:

I've learnt so much through camp alone, and right now I just declare that I'm never going to be the same again! This year will be different, this year I'll choose to do things God's way and not mine, 'cause He alone has the best for me. (: ♥ God, teach me how to follow Your path, give me strength and discipline to take up my cross everyday, guide me that I'd not lose my way. (:

Thank You God for 2011, thank You God for what is to come. ♥

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
- Psalm 28:7

His Love
that lasts forever.

Slacking around~ XI @ 12:28 AM
One Piece 651
O: SO COOOOOL. Apart from the many cute moments, WHOA, Luffy declares war with Big Mom! OOOO: Err, over sweets..! .___.|| So Luffy-ish hahhas! Well basically Luffy ate all the sweet Big Mom wanted, so he was kinda sorry and wanted to give the treasure they found from Caribou (who, yes, was pwned in one punch by Luffy..) to Big Mom to make up for it. But then Big Mom's apparently some candy obsessed person so yeah she rejected the LARGEEEE amount of treasure (lolol dumb). Yeah then she threatened to destroy Fishman Island (PSHFT), but then Luffy got pissed so she decided to direct her wrath to Luffy instead, and challenged him to come to the New World~. Hah but instead of being intimidated, Luffy was just like "I'm gonna kick your ass when I get to the New World... And make Fishman Island my turf!" TEEHEE. ♥

Ohhhh on a random note, Big Mom's crew people also mentioned that Eustass Kidd sunk 2 of their ships! Pro rookie eh! :D


(Y) HAHAHA ZORO ♥



Naruto 568
Whoaaaa kewl! :) Naruto getting eaten by Yonbi (hah), but Gai and Kakashi have no way to help 'cause they're caught in a pinch too, so much that Kakashi despite having low levels of chakra, made a kagebunshin and fought literally back to back with Gai. Hachibi.. I don't see why he can't help but ah well he's pretty useless. :| Sorry. :| I mean, he's Hachibi, he should be able to handle Yonbi who should be what, half his strength? -.- But he's just like *wrap tentacles* and the Yonbi's like *I don't even feel anything* Pshft. ): Ah well!

Anyway, more about the Bijuu! Kyuubi revealed that he found humans all the same; be it Madara, or the next 3 Jinchuurikis, all of them had one thing in common - they sought to control Kyuubi and keep it at bay. Well, some like Naruto's mum had good intentions (unlike Madara..), but they failed to understand that the Bijuus were not just sources of power. But then when Kyuubi met Naruto, Naruto's totally different - instead of seeking to control the Kyuubi, he sought to take away all of Kyuubi's hatred, seeing him/it(?) as an individual and not some.. thing.

Lol anyway! So idk why/how, but Naruto entered the ~other world thingy~ with Yonbi; like y'know how when he talks to Kyuubi they'll be in some tunnel thingy? So yeah now he's in the Yonbi version of that dimension. (Sheesh reminds me of Bleach, like how they talk to their zanpakutou...) Yeahp so over there, Yonbi reveals that Bijuus have names, just that no human bothers to know them - Yonbi's name is San Goku (SUN WUKONG, jap version! Not kidding. :)), and apparently Kyuubi's name is Kurama! :D Hah then the blahblah about Naruto wanting attention when he was a kid so he won't lose himself and fade away, so he understands (kinda) how the Bijuus feel, and the blahblah about Naruto hating the fact that Tobi wanted to be a nobody. o.o Meh whatever. So yeah then Yonbi agrees (sorta, I think!) to help Naruto! He said that if Naruto can undo those chains, he'd be able to back him up!~ ^^ I think if he's free from the chains he won't be under control anymore! Just a guess. :B

Heee okay lah not that exciting but cool to know the background and understand the Bijuus more. :D Kurama!~ Hah kay random.

that lasts forever.
