Dinner, Taken, Thoughts

Had a great dinner with my friends from pop and jazz.
special thanks to wan ting who burnt the dvd for us.
like what larry said, we're gonna keep it and show it to our grandchildren in the future.. haa
well he has a point - this isn't just another module. this isn't just 3AUs isn't just an unrestricted elective isn't just a waste of time. isn't just a dvd memorabilia. This is life. All of us ONLY have ONE life.

These are Real friendships made. Real music composed. Real experiences in life. Reality.
I thank God for everything. For all the experiences. all the struggles faced. The final performance.
The people and friendships made. Who cares about the grade? it isn't everything.

After dinner emily myself and kelly went to watch the movie Taken which stars Liam Neeson.
Prior to the start of the movie, there was an advertisement which struck a chord in my heart. there was a woman who was giving her speech on her now deceased husband.

FAMILY - its the imperfections in everyday life that causes us to remember our loved ones when they're gone. Every mistake made in one's life contributes to the person's unique and special characteristics and makes him worthy of being loved. So why are we scolding each other, blaming one another for each other's flaws/faults? we are all made fearfully and wonderfully by God above. lets not wait till each other are gone shall we? God first demonstrated what love was on the cross so we can now be FREE to love one another. and i dont mean the bgr lovey dovey love. that doesn't last. True love doesn't fail. true love goes a long way. true love is to the point that one would even be willing to sacrifice one's life for another.

Thats the geist of the movie too(apart with the violence). the father was willing to sacrifice ALL. EVERYTHING. HIS LIFE. so that he could get his daughter back. Our Lord God went ALL the way to get us back from condenmable sin. our shame. we weren't deserving at all. He died for us.

so why are we still sometimes living like we're gonna live on this earth forever?
there's no time to waste. lets look towards heaven. our goal

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." - Matt 6:19-20
