Wouldn't it be amazing?

Ok, I'm on this dangerous trend of sleeping late. I could blame it on my exams, but it's not studying that keeps me awake. It's just something or the other.

It's 12 and I watch this youtube video that's caught my attention and BAM! it's 3, regretting that I have an internet connection. And trust me, I've lived without an internet connection. Yes, that's true - in a 21st century middle class family.

My parents were always very protective of us. Anything I got addicted to, it was removed. Immediately. Although it may seem extreme, I think it was great what my parents did; made me the man I am today :)

Anyways, back to my late nights - I was watching this movie today :

It's a Christian movie about this high-roller guy who has almost everything an average person could wish for. One fine day, he gets a second chance, a chance to rectify a mistake he made years ago.
A lot is focused on how the main character finds joy in being a dad and being married and ahh that gets me so excited!

Honestly, I cannot wait to get married. To have someone to support me. Living selflessly for whom God has for me. Ahh. And kids and everything. Can't wait!

Until then, there's tonnes to do. Just going through this short phase of despondency. Not that I have a lot of responsibility, but I feel so overcome and overwhelmed sometimes. I think it's because of the exams. Always gets me away from putting my gaze on God. I must say, it is getting better.

Btw, this really encouraged me today :
"Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father's love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them".
ISN'T THAT AMAZING? It gets me all charged-up. Just on how God is so real and so reaching-out and just so good.

Off to bed. Another late night. Good night.

muy cansado...

Wow. What a tiring day!
Estoy muy cansado - Some spanish i picked up :D

Anyways, it's exam period. The worst month in the entire year. Especially if you've barely studied the entire semester like me.

I totally hate studying. I know, it's not like people actually like studying, but you know, I feel it's such a waste of time. Particularly when I hear people from the corporate world going like " 'I hardly use anything I've learned in my undergrad.' Studying's just lost its charm. Back in high school, I could study a lot. I was the nerd of the family, unfortunately. But now, I'd study for a final 2 days before.


So, back to my tiring day, I had a math exam today. Not any math exam, mind you. It was my last math exam EVER! Love math, but for the time and energy put to think through solutions, it doesn't pay enough. Yes, cash. Cold, hard cash.



Besides, I've been thinking about my future lately. Mostly because I have to choose my specialist in the next four months. I'm doing Business at school, but I'm not really sure I want to do that. Thing is, in high school, we had this ancient educational system. And since it was Indian-based, it was so narrowed down to basically two choices - Science or Commerce. Tried science for two weeks in Grade 11- Couldn't handle it despite studying chem for hours everyday. Commerce is the only choice I have and now, I'm stuck with it.
Honestly, I wish I was an instrumentalist or something. I just love playing them and playing around with the sounds. Aaaah. Just that I don't want to be sitting at Yonge and Dundas playing an instrument after learning so much. Choices! Choices! Choices

All said and done, I heard this quote from this preacher : "God cannot direct a parked car". What that meant to me was that I just go on and God, in His time will reveal to me :) CAN'T WAIT!

Got this really great scripture from the Bible this morning :
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are :)                                                                    (I John 3:1)

Amazing. God's my dad. And since He's God, He's the best dad ever. That's such a hope :')

Peace out!

Newbie

I'm not really a fan of blogging. 

Why did I sign up for one then even though i have a math final exam the day after tomorrow?
I just want to try how it feels to blog about anything and everything.

Oh, I could also check up my blogs and my rants and me and my wife (yes, I wish to get married in the next 10 years) would probably laugh at my childishness

Also, I think my story and my life may impact you (in a good way, I hope)

Looking forward to my blogging life!
Wish me luck (yea, like anyone would read this blog)

Yep, that's me. Crazy me. The 'me' hardly anyone's seen :)
