Don't lift your pen!

This puzzle had Thea, Aldwin, and me thinking. How can you draw this...

...Without lifting your pen and repeating strokes?

We thought it would be easy, especially because we know how to solve another puzzle like this (the house— I know some of you are also familiar with it.) We gave it try. Thea got it once, but forgot how she did it: “Frustrated ka na rin?” Aaron saw me doing it and grabbed my pen: “Wag ka nang magpakaadik dyan.” After three sheets of notepad, I gave up… For now.

Okay, I promised myself I would figure it out before we see each other again next week. Maybe I’ll just have to use a pencil so as not to waste precious ink.

A Different Package

Got this from my friend's tumblr blog, and I just have to agree. Sometimes the best things arrive when we stop being anxious about it. And sometimes your heart's deepest desire comes packaged in a different wrapper. Just be patient. It will arrive.

Deeper and Deeper

On this day, God wants you to know that a successful relationship requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Always with the same person, but deeper and deeper every time. Each time on a whole new level you together open in love and discover the truth of your beloved anew. There is no limit to the beauty of your beloved. If you think you've reached the end, stop generalizing.

Fell in love with others, feelings choose to go back to the one most dear. I don’t really know what makes me so sure that you are the one meant to be my beloved, forever.

Never gonna give you up

Winner.

Second Semester, Day 2

Uno Cards, Still. Three solid hours of Red, Blue, Green, and yellow numbered cards, Power cards, and Wild Cards. Had fun with the First Batch (With Zid, Mi Pelu, Tam, and Justine); Second Batch (With Zid, Mi Pelu, and Kuya Eric); Third Batch (With Zid, Mi Pelu, Patty, Jeca, and Kuya Eric); and Fourth Batch (With Zid, Mi Pelu, Patty, Jeca, Justine, and Kuya Eric). Notice that Zid, Mi Pelu and I have been playing all the time. Nahilo na nga ako nung last part, buti na lang may coach ;)

I had fun, big time. Especially with newly-implemented rules (given by Kuya Eric) that involve the magical cards of zero and seven that made the game more exciting! :) the bawal-magsalita-at-lumabas-ang-ngipin-ng-talo rule is also a winner :)) Playing Uno with friends is way better than doing so in Facebook. :)

What did you do on your first day of the semester?

This is how we spent it: Pizza, Drum Maniax, Guitar Freaks, and Uno Cards ;)

Love Unfailing

You make me feel safe
Like no one else could--
You calm my soul's deepest conflicts,
and tell me:
"Everything is taken
good care of, don't worry."

You answer me in my distress
Your words comfort me;
Your assurance is enough
to keep me going.
Your love, Oh, your love!
It's more than enough,
More than I am asking for...
More than I deserve.

You are more than wonderful.
Your love is more than amazing.
Your grace is extravagant.

It's not enough for me
to just say "I Love You..."
For everything You have done
For Your faithfulness,
For Your never-ending favor,
For Your tender touch
when things are getting rough,
For tracing my tears
as they gently fall,
and claiming them as Yours.

Still, I cannot give anything
To You;
For all things I have
are because of Your favor.
And all that I am,
My being, My soul--
Have always been Yours.
My life, My strength, My hope
Comes from You alone.

For blessing me with more
than I ever ask for,
I am so much grateful.

I'll Worship You until my last breath.
I Love You--
And I know, You love me more--
My Lord, Lover of my soul...
More than anyone else could.

Confused

Somehow, 'now more than ever' seems a little bit untrue.

Three Words, I'm Smitten.

I just can’t let go of
What I’ve been praying for
Since this year’s first 16th
After all that you’ve done
It’s hard for me not to fall, I’m sorry.

With just one glance
A wave of your hand, a smile
Three words from your lips—
And I’m smitten.
You won me over again.

Did I say again?
Then that would be a lie
Because I have always been in love with you…
From the start, even before I knew it.
Always.

It is still you who enters my mind
Whenever I hear a love song,
Or when I think of forever,
Or when I see chocolate ice cream cones.
It is still your hand I want to link with mine,
Your eyes to look into for the rest of my life…
It is still you who I’d want to meet at the altar.

I am sorry for thinking like this—
For loving you too much,
Maybe even more than she does.
I am sorry but I just can’t point out
What makes me so sure
That you are the one made for me...
When you aren’t even mine right now.

I am sorry for not letting go
Of our beautiful love story
That started with piggyback rides
Way back in kindergarten.
Go on with your life,
I’ll still be waiting...
My prince. My fairytale. My destiny.
I love you, now more than ever.
