friday again. finally free to blog le. and it's the end of week EIGHT now. next wk will be the last wk of sch, then it'll be GRACES Lifeskills Camp for us(: haha my New Jersey fren made a good comment on our grp blog. she realised all of us are kindda gettin frantic, buying lovely gowns n lip gloss etc. then she asked if there'll be guyz, we said no, n debated whether it'll be better with or w/o them.
eventually, we decided us girlz r best left on our own ^.^ then this NJ fren said, if no guyz, then why r we dressing up so much for. i read it n thot it was a v.good n relevant point.
well perhaps it's a girl thing. dressing up, i mean. but i think she has a point there. r we dressing up for self satisfaction? gaining comfort in knowing that a particular gown looks good on us? or r we juz eager to show off our curves to our frens? to impress them?
this doesnt sound v.nice, but i cant think of any other reason why we would spend so much time dressing up, if there won't be outsiders there. of coz, some girlz juz dress up to match up to the atmosphere, n enjoy the whole formal dinner. but really, i feel too much fuss is being made.
it's almost like everyone in NY is turning into a bimbo. like, OH GOSHH!! I HAVEN'T BOUGHT HEELS *SCREAMS*
sighz...
guilty as charged...
yep, im one of those who r actually worried i wont have heels to match my gown, or lip gloss that goes well with it or wadeva. but i guess u can call it peer pressure. everyone's like this, so im influenced one way or another.
but im still proud to say im not a bimbo. yet. n i hope this'll last. there is absolutely nth wrong in being a bimbo. i juz personally prefer being a nerd :P
hmm... ahh yes.
finished Da Vinci Code within two dayz this wk. it was spellbinding n intriguing. i cant wait to launch a discussion on the bk with someone (no idea who yet. anyone who is willing to be a nerd too, i suppose).
while reading the bk, i did have several qns regarding the origin of the bible, n i did question the credibility of it. but amazingly, the bk didnt influence my faith in God negatively, neither did it change my perception of the ever holy Christ.
it seems to me that when ur faith has reached a certain point, u will be able to tell the Lies of Satan from the Truth of God. and nothing will turn you away from Him. after reading the bk, i feel pleasantly closer to the Lord, as though i had juz passed a particularly challenging test of faith.
my christian school mates were all discouraging me from reading, but i was captivated by the story plot already, n went on reading. r they afriad to read? becoz it's full of Lies? r they worried they're faith will change? if so, then their faith is not v.strong, i'd say.
i admit, when i read the part abt Jesus n Mary being a couple etc, i was fuming with these Lies, so much so that i slammed the bk down on my desk n my table partner stared at me wonderingly.
apparently, my fren, though a Non christian, wasnt affected by the bk either, becoz she skipped the part abt Jesus too. i guess the non believers r not concerned abt the religious part of the bk, they're more in for the story plot. so actually, the believers dont need to feel so strongly against the bk, becoz it's not really demonic or anything.
well, i believe this bk is written as a challenge for us Christians. in future, we might meet ppl who question us abt the origin of the bible, probably becoz they read the Da Vinci Code, n we muz be prepared for that.
so anyway, gtg for dinner now. loads more to talk abt, but no time now.
haiz.
so much work crammed into one weekend. i've got to choreograph 2 dances, one for my PE module, another for the class folk dance presentation on the last day of lifeskills camp. then ive got bio n physics assignment.
ahh. life.
