Waste Not!

WOW… I haven't blogged for 24 hours… my bad! All good I guess, been so tired and not 100% well… All I have wanted to do lately was sleep…

Quote

"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." - John Lennon

Today i didn't really achieve much in which i see fit for adequacy..
I had church which is always good, i then had lunch with the family and in-laws. After buying a new shirt and shorts i headed home where I took a 2km walk/jog and then collapsed in to a deep sleep for the rest of the afternoon.

I had planned to do some study, but I don't think my body is up to it..
Anyway i feel like I didn't do anything productive… but I reminded by a mate who said yes I have… I have slept and rested which has enabled my body to be ready for the week. That's true.

So that quote is kind of relevant as i enjoyed getting some sleep, taking it slow today/tonight and just recovering as I am still not 100% well.

Verse:

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder. – James 2:19

Halloween is a season where many scary things are showcased. Our fears are exploited as the images of frightful creatures and horror movies come to the front. Evil is depicted as a powerful and unstoppable force. But the Scripture paints a different picture: all of hell trembles before the living God. Not only did Jesus defeat ALL the power of fear at the cross, he gave that same victory to us! To stand in the power of Jesus name is the opportunity given to every believer. Even demons shudder before those who know this!
Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor

 

I will be off to bed now!

Failure with a twist!

Today I those tests… One was easy and quite successful while another was rather challenging.. and pretty much turned out to be a flunk.
However (this blog is quick one) I must look at the positives… i may have failed.. but i did fail knowing that i put in my 100%! What more can i ask for. I mean some of us are good at one thing while others are better at other things and also we all got to win some and lose some!
So I will keep my chin up and a smile on my dial and just move on till next time!

Psalms 31:24 
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

So all though I failed I can still look to the Lord and give it him.

Quote:

“Life is full of failure… but success is created by trying and persevering” – Chris Furlong

A Miracle In The Making…

 

Some of you might know that in the last week I have been a ‘little’ stressed in concern for a test coming up.. which is now tomorrow.

The subject itself I struggle with and i have put in my best.. for study etc., yet i still seem inadequate of achieving a pass.

I have now come to the realisation with the help of a little birdie that i can only do my best, if i fail its not the end of the world… plus (this is the best bit) God has never let me down before so I don't think he will now. All i need to do is pass and there is still time for that!

James 5:13 < Verse for the night as well : )
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.

So i am going to go to Uni tomorrow finish both my tests (yes i have 2) and do my best and trust in the lord.

--Thinking About The Positives--

Tomorrow:

1. Subway for Breaky
2. Hot Chocolate with Miccas
3. Finishing 2 more tests!
4. Driving to Uni and back

Thursdays Weather

Another…

So it's another beautiful Tuesday, a wonderful day full of freshness and  a sense of joy. I caught the 9.09 train with Miss Paige and then hit it up at Swinburne Library with an ice coffee and a banana. [Blogged @ Swinburne]

It's intriguing watching the busy lives of the people leaving and taking the morning train. If it's not “rush rush rush”, it's “push push push”, as they all make pace for their destination. [Blogged @ Train Station]

Any who today was good in general, but tonight was a little poo!

Apart from watching Chuck with my rents and polishing down a plate of Nachos… i have been studying OOP since the sun has set and yes i have achieved a bit but it all still seems so distant to me…

Tonight's Overall Theme Is: Dealing With Stress
The best way to do this is quote scriptures (sorry if repeats)

Psalms 32:8
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you”.

John 16:33 (NKJV)
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Quote Of The Night

The Daily Life Of A BIT

For those who unaware of my course his is the low down:

Name: Bachelor of Information Technology Scholarship Program
Meaning: The course is sponsored by several corporate bodies who wish to invest in creating new graduates that will benefit them as a whole. In doing so each student is sponsored a whooping $33,500 scholarship. The course is also 3 years instead of 4 and has 2 years course work and 1 year of IBL (Industry Based Learning). Therefore it is fast tracked and are lucky enough to have more subjects each semester. The stress is ‘fun’ but its worth it.

So in a sentence a BIT student’s life consists of:

1. Eat – Gotta love the privileges and conveniences at Swinburne
2. Study / Homework – Just keeps piling….
3. Sleep – whenever we can find it… lectures, trains and hopefully our beds

---

Now for my daily Scripture.

Isaiah 40:30-31

³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;
³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

Such an amazing set of verses. What more can i ask for when it comes to dealing with stress, struggles in life and the tiredness of Uni… (PS i love Uni tho)
 

Daily Quote

“May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future” – Chris Furlong

Well that's all for tonight…

There’s Always Tomorrow….

Today was one of those days where it all went sweet until the realisation of the amount of homework i have… kicked in… I had a family do today which was great fun. It went longer then expected but that's ok. It wasn't till i got home my day became “meh”. Any who there's always tomorrow to cheer me up.

I don't really have much to say due to my lack of sleep and bit of a rough night but what i will do is upload 2 pictures for you.

These have been compiled with the use of books and quotes : ]

Seconds to go…..

When it comes to time, we have this built up theory that it is limited, or we have this idea that time dictates what we do. In some sense this is correct. If we watch time it seems to go slower and if we avoid it, it disappears quicker. So what does this have to do with anything? Nothing.. i just felt like wasting your time for the last 30 seconds.

WORK, HOMEWORK & HARDLY WORKING…

---

So i was at work today.. doing what i do best… doing homework, watching TV Shows along with writing this blog. Today was an exceptionally good day. It was busy, customers were cheery and the whole shop had a new feel about it. If only all Saturdays were this good. My reputation would be even sweeter. But then again I cant complain… I get paid to do my homework.. watch TV Shows and write this blog.

But that's not what my blog is about.
Today lets talk about work as a generalisation. Whether it is working a 40hr week job, a part time/casual worker like myself or if your doing homework for school or University (also like me). The main point I want to get at is…

What drives people to work. Its an interesting topic when you think about it…
A student will work (do homework) as they have been put into school and its what they are entitled to do until they can fend for themselves. Students at University must be self motivated as an individual and push themselves.

Workers (any type) must either provide for their family or themself (earn money to make a living) Or in some cases people just like to work…

What drives you to work/study? (comments?)

Verse for the Night

Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

 

I am really tired… Night!

Simple yet Solid!

 This blog will be quick as i am so tired hahah!

Today started with sun glaring into my eyes as it creep-ed up my window. At first I thought I had slept in but it was really just the realization that summer is nearly here to stay. The fresh smell of the spring glory reminds me of a year ago. sitting in the sun studying all day hahaha what joy...  [blogged this at Glenferie Subway]

One of the most funniest things to do is watch people while listening to music. Its like watching someone walk down the street with theme music hahahh here's Wat u need to do this at it's best.
1. Some up beat \ jumpy music
2. People to watch

 From kids, too couples, too adults... they all have their own way about expressing music haha the funny thing is they don't even know it hahaha

Quote: "To move on we must take one step at a time, but to get over something we need to jump in with two feet" Chris Furlong

well I was pondering something (lol surprise, surprise) and obviously it was to do with some sacrifices and choices i have had to make over the past year...
"Ones sacrifice is anothers loss, while ones loss is also their sacrifice" Chris Furlong
Sometimes people don't always come out even, sometimes they do. But i do know one will always come out stronger :)

Psalms 119:28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

Read it and Ask for it and take it.

Off to watch The Big Bang Theory :)

A Memorable Moment.. A Common Cause and a Trust In The Lord

 Hey World :)

i am so tired.. i've only had 10hrs sleep in last 48hrs...
WOOO

Ok.. so i will admit it...
seeing all these Yr 12 statuses and end of year pictures.. actually makes me smile.. i actually miss it.
i miss the moments in which everything was so stressful yet together collectivity we stuck it out and finished the year with joy and as a team.. a team of students ready to take on whatever the world would throw at us!!!

1 year later here i am... hahah fighting Assignments, tests and soon to be exams... in my final strive to gun it home before the holidays..

Uni is definitely  a different place.. the work is different, the people are different and so is life in general.

Dont get me wrong tho.. cos i absolutely love it hahah i just so tired due to all the work!

so here is my nightly vent/quotable thoughts

Today upon arriving at Richmond station.. the passengers waiting to board the train seemed to be crowding hte platform more then usual...
as i tried to exit the train the people wanting to get one stood (without movement) literally 20cm from the door and in groups of 25

i have to PUSH my way through people and force my shoulders through endless SHOULDER HUGS as i had no choice but to get snugly as i pushed past them...

Wouldnt it make sense if they all worked toegether...?? (they are all thinking and wanting the same thing anyways)
Moved out of the way (made room for exiting passengers)
then coordinately boarded the train?
this would allow them to get on quicker and problem with more passengers and with a bit more safety

Quote: "If people worked as a team for a common cause, an individuals path would be simpler"



Scripture for the night
Phillipians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Ok.. so yes i have been a bit stressed lately.. but i must remember that our God can take control, can provide and can bring peace.. if only we present this very request to the Lord God Almighty..
to long we fight things in our own power.. but we can fix this by using the greater!


I will now leave with a smile as i have committed my test (tomoz) to the Lord :) he will provide


Night.

PLEASE NOTE

FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS.. dont be shy!

The beginning of an unfourtanate routine

It's beginning....
So this morning i slept in.. I was meant to be up at 6 am however after snoozing my alarm... I fell asleep again n woke up at 6:45am.... I was meant to leave at 7am.. Need I say no more this morning was a rush-full one. I guess what I am trying to say is.... It's that time of the semester where assignments are eating into my nights.. Meaning I get to bed later and I still have to get up just as early...


I think this calls for adrenaline to the max :)

So i managed to pull all strength i had left to make it through the day..
with the excitement of friends and lotz of food i made it through our internal study session :)

When i arrived back in town, i had my weekly coffee date with my sis in law Rose :)
i purchased the big bang theory Season 3 :)

i then had a drum lesson (gave) which was full of procrastination...

i then came home to a dinner ( a nice big steak) yummio :)
and then finished the night with Music practice...

in other words.. it was a big day....

For those who unaware... I have recently upgraded and am now one of the many iPhone 4 users. The phone itself is quite simple to use and offers a straight forward interface. Personally I enjoy it's functions and abilities as it does what in a phone. With a 2gb data plan along with unlimited social networking and sms, what more would a modern teenager of this society want?? The camera is fancy with a quicker reaction time :) let's not forget about that 16 gb internal memory now. Hahah so in a low down it's quick, it's fancy and it's practical :) actually I wrote this blog on this today hahaha.

"Coincidence is not random but rather probability at it's best" - Chris Furlong
Last night my quote about living with consequences ( i posted it on facebook as well)  became a coincidence when at the same time I posted it, someone else who  posted it at the same time with the same source.... Now the middle man who is befriended by me and this unsub saw both posts occur at the same time... What are the chances???  I guess we will never kno hahaha

Verse for the night :)

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

and a weekly wisdom quote haha
"The dreams of your future have no room for the devastation's of your past."


i guess thats it... BRING ON TOMOZ :)

Get on the Train...

Ok so today was different.
i went out of my regular routine and had went Interviewing at Melbourne Water <-- i will get to this in a moment
Let me just fill ya in on a normal tuesday morning...
Wake up, shower, breaky, drive to train.
My train would usually come at 9:09 as i would meet up with Miss Paige and have a our weekly chats on the trip into the city... however today was different.
i caught the 10:36 train where i met up with my group to interview an IT Manager and graduate at Melbourne Water.


After many questions and a few laughs we had become more understanding of what really goes on at Melbourne Water :)


any who...


I have recently been watching Criminal Minds.. and i must say (due to the episodes being based on actual events) this world of ours is STUFFED UP.
How people can commit and do such crime.. if that's what you would call it... inhumane

"There is not a righteous man on Earth who does what is right and never sins."Ecclesiastes 7:20

 SO true ^^

So.. lets just say i am extremely tired.. 

so am going to sum up quickly...

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." Mahatma Ghandi

Now.. in most cases people would interpret this first part as "go do everything and anything you want before you die" hwoever the 2nd part reiterates... the point in saying.. yes do that but "DO IT RESPONSIBLY"

cos if u go make a foolish mistake.. are you wiling to live with the consequences...

i wish i coudl blog more now.. but i must sleep.

Im Out!

 

All in a days work?

So... its 11:33pm...
Its been only 24hrs of this blog and i am really feeling it!

Now today was a Monday (need i say no more) however it was a Monday closer to holidays +1
Uni is busy as usual. I have assignments crawling out of my ears and a pile of study to do.. which seems to keep building as the assignments take over...
only 3 weeks till exams!!!

Anywho!

"Some of the best lessons are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future." Dale Turner

I have been monitoring the recent facebook statuses.. and anyone would think Year 12 is coming to an end... 

I guess for me this is a realization of taking my past lessons and putting them to practice..! Those lessons being.. pushing forward in the moments of study and homework!! and looking forward to the goals and rewards...

♪ ♬ Music ♪ ♬

:) well it makes me smile most of time :)

actually tonight it has been more in the background.. but it is definitely keeping me motivated :)

Fake Empire - The National ♪ ♬ 

Well.. i guess thats me in a day...

apart from the venturous train trips of my week.. or more so daily, not much happened...

only the reiteration of EXAMS are soon.. oh and i need to re-enroll... 

mhmmm.. and a as a final note.. i leave you all with this :)

Matthew 6:25-26  ²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Stressing??? well thats a verse for you ^   :)
