Inside a Heart that Blooms



Currently Listening to:
Vide Cor Meum
by
Patrick Cassidy
from
Dante's La Vita Nuova's 3rd chapter's sonnet on A ciascun'alma presa .
Performed by
Danielle de Niese and Bruno Lazzaretti
(OST: Hannibal)



E pensando di lei
Mi sopragiunse uno soave sonno
Ego dominus tuus
Vide cor tuum
E d'esto core ardendo
Cor tuum
Lei paventosa
Umilmente pascea.
Appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.
La letizia si convertia
In amarissimo pianto
Io sono in pace
Cor meum
Io sono in pace
Vide cor meum


*******

And thinking of him,
A sweet sleep overcame me...
I am your master
See your heart
And of this burning heart?
Your... heart... your heart
Obediently eats
Weeping, I saw him then depart from me
Happiest joy turns to bitterest tears
I am in peace
My heart?
I am in peace
See... my... heart...


~Dante's "La Vita Nuova", specifically on the sonnet "A ciascun'alma presa", in chapter 3 of the Vita Nuova.~

The Rainbow has nothing to hide....




Currently Listening to
Love Story
by
Taylor Swift




Life is a constant filling of sunshine and rain. :)


I like the sunshine but I also love the rain....


It's been a busy week, a busy month and a busy year (so far).


And I am happy that throughout every tear and joy, He was with me.


And always will be.


God is good and He is good all the time. :D


The pink potato smiles at you and prays for many days of rainbows ahead of you. :)

At the end of my rainbow....



Currently Listening:
Through the Rain
by
Mariah Carey




Today, someone told me that I was positive!

I know that some of my previous post might contest that (emo times - pms la), but if you know me, I am naturaly a cherry bubble who likes to smile and talk rainbows all the time.

But sometimes I tend to 'forget' that... (especially when I'm emotional or stressed - busy week la)

But when someone commented about a moment of my so-called character today, I was reminded of who I truly was. Someone I've forgotten lately and it hit me that I was once the girl who still smiled when her tears knew no end.

So I'm gonna hold my head up high and brace through whatever it may come with a smile and a cherry thought. :)

Have a blessed and wonderful day people! :D

A Spark of Miracles!


Currently Listening to: One Way by Hillsong

I attended a Healing Rally by Bishop Rovert Kayanja which was recently hosted by ECF (the church I'm currently attending) at a big Chinese Pestaurant in Puchong. And it was awesome to the max!!!! It was my first time witnessing miracles with my own two eyes and how amazing God is. The deaf were healed and the blind saw light again.... right before my very eyes!

How can one witness such and not believe?

And yes, I believe, I believe and MORE! There is no doubt of it. My God is ever real, true, gracious, loving, glorious and FANTABULOUS!!! :D

It was amazing. It was miracle in the making. And it was real!

Here are some pics and videos I managed to take.... sorry if it's blur... I used my camera phone (only 1.3 megapixel). There are so much more, but I couldnt continue taking pics or videos anymore throughout the nite for I was too busy clapping, shouting, being touched, crying and giving Him praise for His awesome miracles!


He called forth the deaf (left)and blind (right)....

And we all prayed.... lifting our hands, hearts, mind, voices and all to Him

And the healing begins...

Blurry pic... This is Bishop Kayanja, the vessel of God's healing to the deaf.


And we all clap, shout and give praise to Him... for the deaf was could now hear again!!

You have no idea, how amazed, touched and happy I was.... Witnessing his grace and awesomeness was amazing!

Praise be to Him!!!! :D

And God touched more people that night... not only the deaf but also the blind. Lives were changed and by witnessing such, I knew I serve a great, almighty and awesome God! Amen!

And that, is undeniable -ever!!!

Here are some videos I managed to take...



This second video is amazing because I managed to capture moments where God (through Bishop Kayanja) healed a deaf (from birth) girl... It's a little draggy and long in the beginning but it's worth it when you witness the miracle and hear the roars of praise to Him. God is awesome (yes, I've said it many times but I won't ever stop for He is so much more then that)!!




Amazing ain't it.... PRAISE BE TO HIM!!!!

That night was only the first night. The second night however was even more awesome (according to all who went). But unfortunately, I couldn't go. :( :( :(

I would really like you to continue reading more about His glory, grace and AWESOMENESS here
It's a post composed by a dear friend (Carissa!!!!) who attended the second night of the Healing Rally. Her testimony is so beautiful (of His glory) that I had to pass the word and share (hope that's okay honey!). Please read and be more awed by Him! :D

Thank you for reading people and I hope it touched you and made you see how amazing and real God is!

Blessed be His name!

Deliver my love letter!




I have so much to blog about, so many pictures and videos to upload, lots to share and plenty to proclaim! But lately, I've been somewhat busy and tired despite the "carefree-ness' of the week. But God is good... my days have been fruitful and a blessing. And what's even better is that it's only the beginning... more of His works, will and blessings to come and I thank Him evermore for His faithfulness and divine will.

I will write more about it later in my upcoming post (too tired now, I wanna be up and alive when I do - too much to say!).

Disclaimer: Hang on to your seats then for you'll witness miracles and wonders that He has made me see...!!!



Till then, lotsa love and God bless!

'Vibe' was awesome as usual!!! Love the Word, people, friends, fellowship, talks, activities, fun and Him. I'm so blessed to be there, God is amazing and I thank Him for His neverending faithfulness and blessings. :) Amen!!!!

I love it!

And tomorrow is gonna be another great day with friends, meals, a surprise birthday, lotsa karaoke and laughter. Praise be to Him!

And before you know it, it's a whole day M&M Kidszone training at ECF Puchong on Sunday! More praise be to Him and I pray His will will be unravelled more in me there.

God is amazing and faithful and yes, I've said it so many times. But I can't help it, it's because He really is! I have to tell the world and will never stop proclaiming it! Words alone are not enough, may my actions speak louder and by God's grace may the world see it too.

Glory to God for He is worthy in every way!


God bless!

Fluttering Snowflakes in Summer!




Okay, day 2 part 1 is finally here *all grins*...
(managed to sort out the pics and youtube-ed the videos)
We started at 5am on Tuk tuk ride to the Angkor.... (yes, it was really early - my eyelashes were still glued to my eyes then, lol). Reason being so was to witness sunrise at the Angkor Wat (which was beautiful). There were two lakes in the courtyard that when the sun rises or when it's light touches the water, it reflects and lits up the Angkor Wat. And on the other hand, a very pretty view of the Angkor is in the lake's reflection. We spend our morning there before ajourning to the other temples (Bayon..etc) after breakfast. But then later in the early evening, we returned to the Angkor for a second tour. Apparently, the first tour (internal building)in the morning is not enough, there were so much more on the second tour (external building) in the evening. Hence, that's why there are exceptionally more pics on the second day and why it needs to be in so many parts. This post of part one is focused on the tour of Angkot Wat (internal) in the early morning. Please feel free to click on the images for a better view and appreciation of the pics (the temple parts look really NICE)... Although I am not a good photographer but some of the pics on the temple parts look really distinctive when seen whole. :P

Day 2 in Cambodia (Part 1):
Tour of Angkor Wat (Internal) in the early morning.


Early sunrise...



Walking in...



The small gate entrance to a big palace...


The road where the King of Cambodia once ride on an elephant to pray at the ancient palace of the Cambodian gods.


LOVELY!!!


Love the reflection..

Don't you just love tourists??? Hehehe...

From the 'palace' entrance viewing the courtyard




Long ago... this was a 'swimming pool' of 'HOLY WATER'...

This ladies and gentlemen is the 'APSARA'. Also known as heavenly dancers or dancers of heaven. They are carved almost everywhere in the Angkor Wat (and other temples too). The are quite popular and considered an icon in Cambodia.
Senyum~!




Ancient Sanscrite on the pillars..


OLALA~!

Pretending to be a statue (or an Apsara heavenly dancer)... but failing.. :P



This is pretty... please click and enlarge for better appreciation... :P






Beautiful carvings...





Love em!





King's tree... at the courtyard..
The ancient library....


What is so special about this Apsara is that she is smiling. Not only, that but she grins so widely that you can see her teeth. This is pretty unique as the is the only carving of an Apsara (among thousands) in the Angkor Wat to show her dentals.
What's more is that that particular teeth-grinning Apsara carving is found that the corner side of an entrance in the Angkor that most would never noticed. Hence, archeaologist did a pretty good job in discovering it after 'profiling' EVERY Apsara there! I had to climb over just to take a shot of it...

The man made lake... my dad said it was amazing as the entire lake surrounding the Angkor Wat was made by the Cambodians then. They didn't have machines to do it la so obviously they dug it all up themselves. And let me tell you, it's one freaking big lake! And after my dad told me how the lake was made, I immediatly answered him "Slaves were a fashion then" (hence it's not impossible). Lol!



LOL....the lion guarding the entrance to cross the lake to the Angkor... CUTE? Lol!

*********

So after that.... we went off for breakfast before another several temple tours (and before coming back to Angkor Wat again for the second tour). Let's just say we spend 12 hours on ancient temple tours...hahah and I survived it with much delight! :D
