November 27, Morning

Daily Light As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Not every one that saith, ... Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.

Gone are the days of marathon for my brain,
uncertain if I am in the tortoise in the rabbit race.
All I know is that I wanna try with all my might to run like a rat first.
I studied in school for whole days during weekends.
Skipping few meals in the pursuit of completing past year papers,
isn't easy especially with my empty stomach.
I am impressed of Jesmine's sheer determination to revise with us(me and Gerard)
during those days. Even though she stays so far away from school.

Either way, I do not have any regret at all even if I don't do well for the papers,
as I have given my all. I reminisced about those period when I studied for A level.
Those times were so much more convenient, simple and easier compared to my current workloads now.

Although the race is over for me, I have to resharpen my gears and tools to anticipate for the next race again. If only we take it as a learning process rather than a mere chore, I can hardly imagine how much enjoyment we will have in learning.
Regardless of all, like what you said is true to me. I can't live without studying. It has been part of my life.

I went to meet RY after my last paper today and caught 'Chihuahua' in action. What impressed me most is the German Shepherd and his obligation not only to his main profession, but his obligation as a loyal friend. This is not a conflict of interest, but rather practicing professionalism and this is in line with what I am studying for professionalism module. Haha!
I got a sweet Blackie RL from her.

I met Aaron, Gary and Gilbert afterwards. I wanna play host and it seems that I didn't do well
due to insufficient savings. All I could hope for is just a smile and your time. Nothing else is that
imperative to me for this special day of mine.

another bitter escape
