Never Had a Thing For Cars...

So, I'm that geeky girl who's never had a thing for cars, used to spend all her time in books (still does...they're just schoolbooks), and was always at a loss to this whole car adoration thing.

But last night, I found one.

The FIRST one I had ever thought was absolutely amazingly awesome.

This is it-


The Mercedes SLS AMG. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm new to this.

So, you have to credit Mom, once again, in getting me interested in this car. I was watching videos and she spotted it and about had a heart attack. She's apparently a big Mercedes person, and so for a long while after that, we sat around watching videos of this car. Test runs and the engine starting up...and then we got to watch a race between Porsche, Lamborghini and this one...
Sadly, the SLS totally lost.
The Lamborghini is fast. O.o But I don't like the really loud roaring/buzzing engine...I like the purring/humming of the Mercedes, lol

So that's it for today...I finally found a sportscar I like. XD

Time Of Our Lives...

Something that will always describe today. This week. This month.
And I get the feeling, it's going to describe this year.


Today...I feel like we're headed towards something beautiful in this year. Even if there are very sad moments, frustrated moment, surprising moments. Terrified moments. Confused moments...there will always be happy moments. And I'm looking forward to seeing those this year. ^.^

Call me crazy. Or too positive.

But that's what I think.

Dying Light

 Dying Light



This doll came from my great uncle when he was stationed in South Korea. She's really old, but still really beautiful. I know you can't see much of her head...but her pink earring reflecting the light. xD I wanted to get the flowers on her dress, so that's what was focused upon...
The sun was also reflecting off a broken piece of glass that I discovered in a creek at a local park, back a summer or two. The light, the time, the broken glass...all were very beautiful. I couldn't help but race for my camera...please just excuse my horrible photography skills. >.<
It's so awesome that I got to watch the sunset yesterday. Yesterday was special. This whole weekend was special. So capturing the sunset at the closing of this weekend...was really nice.



Slowly smile as the light dies away
Don't ask questions, just stand alone
In the quiet moment at the end of the day
Take a deep breath, no words to condone

Or condemn the fact that the sun has gone
That another day of life is spent
The world is turning, you don't have long
And time is one which will not repent


Think about it for a moment, will you?

How Far?

There's a whole world of possibilities.

Sunrise

Flying open, the windows will break
The mountains are black against the rising sun
The room is completely silent and I'm wide awake
As the reflection of my face stares at me

Making a moment in time to remember
The slight creaking of the floor beneath my feet
I'm reminded that it's no longer December
The smell of coffee from downstairs

Early hour, the day is greeting me with light
This likewise untouched moment
As I give thanks for keeping me through the night
To the One who causes the sun to rise

The One who blesses me every time I breathe
I inhale yet again, blowing out slowly
This place is so warm, I strongly believe
I'm not just standing here alone

International Love Song

And I really, really wanna be with you
I'm so very lonely without you
I can hardly breath when you're away
Without you I might sleep away the day


So you can come and see me in my dreams
You can come and see me in my dreams

Staring at Me

Eyes.

Staring, glaring piercingly at me.

Worlds I don't know, secrets I'll never uncover. Thoughts, aspirations, questions, and stories. Stories...

This moment, a story is being told, but no words are being said.

Please, why can't I understand this soundless language? What is it particularly that is being said to me?

The colors compare and contrast like the different voices in my head.

What are you thinking?

February 29th

I don't know what rumors, legends, suspicions, or folklore you may entertain concerning February 29th, but I don't really hold any. Leap Day's intrigue for me lies in the fact that most people have Leap Day/Leap Year dances during a February on Leap Year, and apparently, the girl is to ask the guy out to those dances.
 Now, this seems like quite the weird reason to be intrigued, because I would never have the courage to ask a guy out, anyway...but, it makes a really good twist for a story...there was even a movie made about a girl proposing to a guy on Leap Day.
 The only other reason I find it interesting was that I realized at around age 10 that it meant our clock was a little off and therefore we had to add a day to the year every four years. That disturbed me more than girls asking guys on dates so I didn't like to dwell on it as much. After all, it gave this feeling that the earth was orbiting improperly and everything was swinging out of alignment and no-one knew. That was a considerably worse feeling compared to knowing I could ask a guy out on Leap Year...if I ever even wanted to, which was, and still is, very unlikely.

 It's only the second day of February, and my mind is on three things-flying, dreaming, and Peppero Day.
 What's Pepero Day?
 Why, Korean Valentine's Day, of course!!!
 I'm thinking of making Valentine's Day really fun this year at my house by cooking sweets all day like we did last year. I thought if I ate another cookie I would die! Plus, did I ever mention my little brother makes the best Hershey kiss surprise cookies ever?
 I am also (not) seriously considering harassing the males at my church by giving them all pepero or chocolate. *laughs* *sigh* I suppose I must keep my Asian traditions (crazy ideas) to myself.


 Aaaaaand, I guess that's all I have to say in this post. >.<

Wings.


What wings are you speaking of? What wings?

Where are your wings?


"How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings."-Psalm 36:7

"For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by." Psalm 57:1

"When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens." Proverbs 23:5

"But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4:2,3

"Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary." Isaiah 40:31



Wings. Don't speak, I don't want to know.

January...

It's the last day of January. I'm beginning to regret the way I wished it away these past few weeks. I'm becoming so caught up in all of the tense, harsher things of life, that I'm forgetting the little things that I used to enjoy so much.
 I'm wishing the days and months away as fast as I can. I'm reading all of the schoolbooks and working hard in everything I do, and I'm really, honestly, trying in a lot of things. Don't say 'try' isn't good enough. It very much is.
 January has been a very good month. I did three weeks of school, and I read three books. I found some great music, I spent two nights at a friend's house and then we had a friend over at ours. I thought about a lot of things in the future, and I just want to keep going. Even though I'm sort-of at a standstill as to what I'm going to do next, I'm trying to be positive about it. ^^



 Even if it seems as if there isn't a single person out there who knows your sadness, your loneliness, your fear; I will comfort you, I will hold your hand and I will protect you with all the strength I have.
