You Are From Neptune |
 You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. |

Hey there everybody. Boy i'm getting bushed here. Not tired physically but a little mentally drained i am. Guess i need to take a nice long break from singing when i get back from Europe.
To my new found comrade Ollie, thanks for your niceties, you are quite inspirational yourself, especially that post. Sigh, yes, that one. Haha. Cheers mate, keep doing what you're doing regardless of what other people might have to say. You know what you believe in, hold on to the Truth! At the same time, may we all never use religion as a means for personal attack or a field for confrontation. It is not. Catholic or Protestant, Muslim or Jew, Buddhist or atheist, we must work for the peace of man on earth. Accept and appreciate our differences and find common ground to come together and aim towards this peace. Dona nobis pacem!
College Day tomorrow, my last public conducting performance so i better go get some sleep. Take care all, especially eeling with your ankle.
Hakuna matata!

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona nobis pacem.
Hooray for the election of Pope Benedict XVI. Must admit being a little skeptical of him and his hardline policies as doctrinal chief but having said that, it's great having a Pope true to the truth.
In a world where we continually lose sight of the Truth, we join Pontius Pilate, in asking "Veritas? Qui est veritas?" It is quite sad nowadays especially seeing people get teased for their outward appearances and the like. I mean, i do often tease people, but only when i know they can handle it and with no malice intended whatsoever. Which is why it is quite disturbing seeing someone called names. Not nice. At all. Aiping's nick this night happens to be "dona nobis pacem", and deep in every human heart we look for this peace. Especially since this world offers us no peace. Only when we can look at every human being and see in those eyes the eyes of Christ can we hope to attain this peace. For it is particularly in those who the world rejects that Christ is most evident.
Conversion is not about becoming Christians. Christians today seem to be the ones in greatest need of conversion. Many Catholics today go for Mass not knowing what we're doing there. Hang on, many don't go for Mass even. If those who believe do not give those who do not a reason to, they will never believe. It is time for everyone to hold true to the truth we know in our hearts.
Everyone is promised a place in the eternal kingdom. Yes, EVERYONE. Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Catholic, Protestant, everyone has a right because all God's creation know God in their heart. One does not need to know Jesus's name to know who Jesus is. Qui est veritas? I dunno, but i hope one day to find out.
Pax Vobiscum!
