Just this once

We would do anything for love.
You would do anything
I, for love,
Would.

You simply can't explain the feeling.
It's not that simple.
It's not a feeling.
Not an emotion,
either
At least I don't think so.

How were we last month? 6 months ago? 2 years ago?
We have something distinct to ourselves that no one else can have.

We know who each other is.
You know me, I know you.
KNOW me and you.
And I mean, KNOW.

And that's all that matters. Right? :-)

INDONESIA: Mission Trip 2011 Day III (iii)

Part iii

After Malanggaten, we visited an orphanage called "Anak Seribu Pulau" in Karanganyar, Surakarta, which is also one of the constituents of Ibu Mary's organization, Yayasan Nafiri Kasih (YANAKA). Before I even got out of the car when we arrived, this one particular child was standing near the car and said, "Halo, kakak." At first I could not recall who he was by looking at his face. I then spotted Moris and was reminded of the children I had met at the kindergarten school, Tunas Bangsa, in Pucang Sawit. Apparently some of the kids at Tunas Bangsa live in the orphanage. I was beyond thrilled to see them again!
At the orphanage, there were many kids. What struck me was the fact that a portion of these children still have parents; they just aren't here or are unable to take care of them, mostly due to harsh financial circumstances. It was truly amazing and a humbling experience to witness their mundane living environment, yet these children are living with such zeal, joy, and happiness. Not to mention they looked very healthy and well-fed. By visiting these places, God opened up my heart and mind to realize that I have a passion for children, indeed.

CARTER, MY LOVE.

High school. What comes to mind when you hear those words? For some people (like myself), high school was a fun, transitional time where transformations occurred. Amidst the stress of homework, exams, and university acceptances, it was the best 4 years of my life.

Memorable highlights:

• Carter auditions
• REHEARSALS (sleeping during rehearsals for me)
• CONCERTS, CONCERTS, CONCERTS
• Honour rolls
• Volunteer hours
• Kiwanis festivals
• Missa Gaia
• Uniforms
• Lunch group
• Korean
• Brebeuf boys
• And just boys in general (obsession + infatuation)
• 53 Steeles bus
• Finch station
• North York library
• BORANGE, APPLE, BANANA (hahahaha)
• National anthems at Raptors game
• Vocal class + exams
• Mr. Hauser and Mr. Huang
• Ms. Hickey
• Mr. Doherty
• Spirit Assemblies
• Civvies days
• Peer helping
• 30 hour famine
• Summer school at Brebeuf :P
• Julia's summer backyard parties
• Birthday parties
• Braces (both for teeth and knee)
• Kneecap dislocation
• Hence, crutches + cast
• PROM!!!!!!!!
• And last but not least, GRADUATION!!!!

These are only some bullet points among many others.

A walk down the M lane

I  remember when I used to write about the most random things in my life on my blog. Had they been about relationships, friendships, fellowship, hardship, courtship–whatever ships they were. I don't know why I stopped. Do you think I should jump onto the boat and start doing that again? Let me know.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I am sorry that my posts have been lacking, especially the mission ones. I will soon resume writing and finish up my mission series. Thank you for your patience and understanding, everyone.
xx,

Hazel

I MISS YOU.
