I am so amazed by and so proud of my brother. For all the years of animosity we've had, it has been a real joy hanging out with him these past couple of weeks and discovering (aft 19 long years) that relating to him is really no more difficult than relating to any other guy friend of mine. And the past few months of events have shown me that...bro. You really do care, don't you? Young you might appear, raw you might be...but there's no doubt you're gonna make a majorly fine gentleman someday (:

Had a v short but blessed time of companionship w my bros and cousin. Ansel and I were re-discussing "girl's intuition": how girls always seem to know when there're problems brewing in friendships. Actually, I think it's not so much of a "sixth sense" thing, but what we learnt in cg: we're spirit beings, hence, there is always a spirit-to-spirit connection. Maybe girls just appear to have it more strongly? After all, we were called to be the ones to love, to guide, to nurture...somethings, it's a real blessing, cos the first step to overcoming a problem is always recognizing the existence of one in the first place. But discerning that a prob exists is just the easy part...the really hard part comes in deciding what to do next. Silence doesn't always heal. More often than not, it kills. Gives the devil so much more room to work when doubts are left uncleared and misunderstandings remain festering. Poison tree. Silent pride. Someone once said that resentment is like drinking poison yourself while hoping that the other person dies. Scary isn't it? Lord, if ever I find myself in such a situation...please help me with the courage and motivation to speak up and not sweep everything under the carpet.

knowing that a passion for God is not the same as a love for God
