a trash-bag of thoughts and things that swim in the mind of a wandering fool-for-Christ, a.k.a. taong-grasa-para-kay-Kristo wannabe... "If indeed aspiring to be free and happy and deliberately poor, simple, unfit for career advancement, and just a mere human being who is fully aware of his being so is really a case for the asylum, then please count me in! This is what being a fool-for-Christ truly means! I would willingly forgo a leg and an arm to even get anywhere near being one!"

KIONG HEE HUAT TSAI! (resolution for the Year of the Metal Rabbit)
KIONG HEE HUAT TSAI! Year of the Metal Rabbit. Hop-py as a hare. I was born under the rabbit sign (the wooden variety). I did go through most part of my life in a somewhat "hopping" manner. But at one point I realized it's tiring and even aimless at times. So many opportunities wasted. Goals set aside. Important matters overlooked. So for this year I decided there will no longer be any more hopping for me. Henceforth I shall deal with what remains of my life, one step at a time. Each day would be a day for me to give the best. Each task I would strive to attend to with utmost care. Each walk, a purposeful one. Each person, the most important one at the moment. I shall celebrate each Eucharist as if it were my first and last. Each word I'll utter I shall choose very carefully, seeing to it that it contributes to the good of the one I am talking to, otherwise, I'll just have to shut my mouth. I shall avoid hopping from one interest to another, which often ends with my accomplishing nothing at the day's end. Shifting loyalties will never be in my agenda. I shall strive to only be Christ's at all times - even when no one's looking. And since there's no way I could know up to when I shall be roaming this happy, sometimes harried earth, then I might as well enjoy and enrich and be enriched by each passing day, savoring every minute, blessing every moment. I am resolved to be a blessing for others. I shall be a grateful recipient of the many blessings from others.
