here is me
feeling further
by the minute
terribly far
and lost
scared and unknowing
is this a fate
or is this a test
for who can deny His Will
and would me believing
in this doom fate
be a salvation of faith
i yearn for
a fulfilled heart
a fulfilled soul
a fulfilled mind
please don’t let me fall
please don’t push me away
Lord,
please let me hold on to You
please let me be amidst Your love
please let me be strong
let me be in this fear
for all i know
its a message of love
right?

and i have a new toy! thanks to lil sis nuri i’m into scraps…the online version! from scrapblog.com. there, you have it, very first trial of online scrap. but don’t be fooled, the backgrounds and what not are templates, i just add in the words and bits and pieces.
although i’m ready to create one from scatch!! :)) yey, now i have some form of online hobby!
in an attempt to find some suitable songs which can be played in class, i found maher zain. and i have to say his songs are good, music and lyric wise. just today i had to teach about friends and being there and relating to a qudsi tradition, i thought maher zain’s always be there is the right song to play along. and i’m hooked. for the time being.
on side track, i had the chance to watch Julia and Julie out of bored-ness, and it’s such a good nice feeling movie and i have all these ‘awww’ moments in the movie! marriage, a husband, a house, cooking for the husband….they make it look so simple and fun~ and i have this “gee-i can’t wait” feeling. hehehe:)
so am a certified couch potato, only for today, tonight. am on to night at the museum ii. got to enjoy this!

I know it’s way overdue and when people have already jumped on 2010 wagon and pretty much waved goodbye to 2009, i thought i shall not miss out the ‘traditional’ recap of what the year had been. but this shall not take too long and i wont blabber much because there are only two things i wanted to have as the landmarks of 2009.
the e-word. the single but not available. attached. whatever you want to call it. i’m yours.
i have always thought it’s going to be difficult to be in a relationship, but turns out, i wont say it’s perfect but it has been pretty much smooth sailing. or it may just still the tip of the iceberg.
i will not deny there were some difficult thoughts going on and serious deep decision made but i believe this is also directed by the Lord and everyday i pray that this gracious good is eternal and i believe that in hardships and happiness, i will be with this man. still, Lord knows better but at this point, i’m taking it all in, breathing and living these days and memories.
another e-word. education. heading it, leading it, managing it, being it. never said it was easy and never will i guess. it’s everything from my brain, to my body and soul. literally. this job, i’m telling you, its a love and hate relationship. its a bittersweet joy. the circles of influence and control are grey matters and when you’re just in the rhythm, something smack you in the face and make things difficult.
but these made my 2009 fulfilled.
and regret non grata, i am grateful with all that had been, and will be. life is loved.
to thank You Lord, is never enough…
for so long i’ve wanted a niche for my blog but never quite decided what to do about it.
it was a space for my impromptu and sudden surge of thoughts in amateur poetry.
it was a space for pictures with meaningful reflections although it didnt happen much here.
it was a space for some pseudo serious blogging.
it was a space for collections of quotes and stories i read from other sites and thought it would be useful to have it in one place, thus the purpose of this blog.
and then i knew this will be a space dedicated to my line of work.
although it was very much vague how i want it to be with, again, bits and pieces of information.
out of utter boredomness and specks of stressful brain energy, i thought this will be the place where i can actually write on my real experiences of setting up an education centre.
for the past year, it had been days and days of laments and self motivation on this career am building but without reflection.
so i think it’s about time now.

potent teaching can more frequently help students achieve moments of inspired learning. to be potent is to be powerful and influential. potent teaching is a complex art that involves more than throwing provocative material at students or exhorting them to rouse to life. a potent teacher will skillfully and gracefully create conditions and stage activities that inspire students to have a sustained and meaningful encounter with a subject, because they can…
