the truth about the jock and the geek. ya it’s another one of those.

She was never fond of jocks.


She preferred guys who talked about getting out of high school: would be lawyers, doctors, scientists and the list goes on.


However, when she met this one, there was something about him that made her stop for awhile. He was a jock and from the moment she saw him in aisle 15, she wondered what it would be like if they went to college together.


It was one of those scenes seen in the movies she loved, she always saw him as this bright and shining jock while she was the geek who spent tremendous amount of hours in the library or her nose buried in a book. Although she would never admit it to everyone, she silently hoped that they did go to school together.


She often asked herself where the fantasy came from, maybe it was because he reminded her so much of her dad and he wasn’t ashamed to share his faith.


But all of these things were simply things she picked up, she was a geek and never initiated conversations with guys from the popular scene. Five years out of high school and she still felt like the outsider. He dated prom kings while she was destined to date Dr. Sheldon Cooper.


It’s always nice to think of yourself as the exception and not the rule, but this is rarely the case and as these stories go, the jocks never fall for the geek. They simply date the prom queen while she hides behind book shelves. 


It’s a good idea, a good story. 


But it’s also not reality.


A good what if, but nothing else.

What Are You Holding on to Today?

I’m a planner and pretty much a control freak. Most of my days are comprised of carefully planned schedules and a tasks of things to do, even the things that I actually enjoy doing are also pencilled in.
A big believer of delayed gratification, my daily tasks are often lined up and after all are done, I allow myself to take some time off to do something that is actually enjoyable.
Being a planner basically means that I am hundred percent control freak. I don’t just have a plan A, on most days, I reach plan Z without even seeing how effective plan A. It is just in my nature to know what I want and take the necessary steps to secure it.
However, as I have developed a conscious walk with Jesus, I have realized that on most days, things don’t really go as planned and just like those days where everything goes wrong and yet ends up right, life rarely goes the way that we plan it to be.
My life has truly taken a different direction from where I wanted it to be five years ago. My 18 year old self may be having a slight panic attack if she was allowed to preview what my life is like today, however I am not complaining.
This is exactly where God wants me to be and I must stop trying to resist Him. I am blessed with so many beautiful things, things that I wouldn’t have if I insisted on doing it my way.
God has great things planned for you, in a verse quoted so many times, He has promised that His plans for us is to prosper us and not to harm us, so whatever it is you’re facing and whether or not it is what you want, believe that God has his eye on you and He has no plans of ever letting you go. So hold on to Him and hold on to His goodness, He loves you.
Because it is only when we let go of the things that we think are the best for us can God sweep in and actually lead us to His best.

oh you teenage dream.

the announcement of hilary duff’s pregnancy left me nostalgic.

the result was quite stunning. while desperately trying to finish a deadline, i ended up searching for hilary duff’s songs and ended up singing along while laughing.

i haven’t laughed that hard in a really long time.

this particular hilary duff picture brought so much memories of how forgettable my high school experience was. this was the prom dress that i desperately wanted to have and austin ames was the boy that i wanted to go to prom with.

i wouldn’t know if this is a good thing but somehow tonight i was reminded of what it was that i’ve always dreamed of and i will hold on to that yet ridiculously childish dream.

i know that good things come to those who wait so i will wait. and i know that in soon, my teenage dream will come true. =)
