| Undeniable calling.I found myself on a stone balcony overlooking a crowd of anti-Proposition 8 protesters. I and my friend Lauren stood at the edge, crying and praying over them, hands outstretched.
The angry protesters all turned around, and upon seeing us, started yelling curses, threats and insults and shaking their fists at us. But we closed our eyes and kept praying for them as passionately as we could.
Then, randomly, suddenly, they began to disperse, running hurriedly in all directions.
After a few minutes, a teenage girl was left standing still in the midst of the dispersing crowd. She stood looking up at me and Lauren, her lips moving as she joined us in prayer. She then called my name and spoke to me in a strange tongue that I somehow understood, saying,
"The Lord is raising up a new nation."
Then I woke up.
And there it was, my fifth or sixth dream about Prop. 8 in a span of six months.
It makes me wonder what role God wants me to play in a socio-political issue that is tearing apart the church, the concept of family, society and my own heart.

| When a former love gets engaged.It is strange, very strange indeed.
I couldn't be happier for you, Mr. Pink. We ended things three years ago because we somehow knew a relationship between us would never lead to marriage. You wanted to find "the one," and now you have, so that little sacrifice a long time ago has paid off very well. Kudos to you. I may have found mine too.
But it somehow just feels strange...maybe because it makes me think of my own future.
Your engagement has made me more excited about getting engaged.
Never had the prospect of marriage been so real and tangible to me before that.
And now, I know for sure my turn will come.
Thank you, Mr. Pink, for helping to lead me to Mr. Right. Here's to your happiness...and mine. =)

| Worth the wait."Can't you see that every step I have taken was to bring me closer to you?"
- Memoirs of a Geisha
Indeed, it has been so worth it taking all of this step by step...even when other people and my own emotions have often driven me to impatience and frustration.
But it is gradually paying off.
To finally hear you say those three words two weeks ago, after waiting for so long, was the most beautiful thing in the world. It brought tears to my eyes.
And now, every time you say them to me, I know I am happier and more secure about their depth and sincerity than I would have been if you had said them a year ago.
It has been worth the wait.
You have always been worth the wait.

| We make a good team....as journalists, when you take photos for the stories and events I cover for the paper, and they always get published.
...as worship leaders, because the Spirit totally moves when we lead worship together, and our passion is evidently on the same level.
...as social beings, because when we take each other to events, we easily mesh into each other's social networks and make new friends and build new networks.
...as youth leaders, because we've worked together to keep Kapwa growing and flourishing for a year and a half now.
...as best friends, because we are, and this friendship just keeps getting better as the days go by.

| Undecided.For once in my life, I have no idea what I'm doing next, specifically for my post-graduation days.
And I'm perfectly okay with it.
"For I know the plans I have for you," He said. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
