The "Poetry" of Students' Writing: How Could You NOT Love Them?!
Natural
Why put on make-ups? You are beautiful already. You think covering up your face with some chemical dust will make you look better.Nah-ugh! It will make you older and older little faster, little by little, day by day.Then soon,one day, you can't stand your God-given natural skin. And you'll cry "I am so AGED". What more can I say, except "I told you so." ?
How long
How long do you spend your time on your homework?How long do you spend your time on your girlfriend?How long do you spend your time on ME, son?
.... I am speechless. What can I say.
Christian
Why do you trade your faith with your philosophy?Why do you trade your soul with your brain?What do you see in that?
Don't compromise for the essentials.Don't. Don't.
I hope to see you in heaven. I really do.All of you-!!
Don't smoke out your soul,Don't drink over your purity.Read some of his book. PLEASE.
Friends
I miss ya'll.
I used to be around you, and promised we'll be always in touch.
But now here I am, thousands miles away from you,
left who I used to be , right there, with you.
I always mocked the proverb "Out of sight, out of mind."
But what the ...., aren't I like that already.
I am sorry. It's not that I forgot the time we had and the laughters we shared.
I always LOOK for the time to sit down and write to you, even when I am seated already.
You guys taught me to be real, you taught me how to smile,
you taught me how to hug, you taught me to love friends...
It HAS been a long time, but I hope that we will meet again,
and like we always said , "before we go to heaven."
Stupid Rhyme
the world I see,
the words I seal,
the love I feel,
the hate I kill,
nothing is here,
nobody is near,
she isn't real,
that's why I fear.
Plan vs Execution
I plan and I plan.
Like a resolution for new year,
My plans are always so perfect.
Perfection is just a shell,
And I am losing everyday.
I lose to myself,
I am defeated by time and space.
I pray and I pray.
Am I the one who can push myself to be someone I want to be?
Ideal is not just an idea.
Aren't I being idiotic?
My promises are always failing,
I can't find where to change.
Longing to get out of this cycle.
I see a hamster in the wheel.
Learning from the Sojourns
God shapes me into someone new by placing me somewhere new. I always longed to stay in one place with same people. But without any options, I have been forced to move around, leave where and whom I did not want to leave at all. Somehow, I learned to leave and be adapted in new place without erasing the memories; I learned to appreciate the short-term acquaintance and cherish every little moments with new friends. Every journey I had to make has shaped me into someone more caring, more careful, and more thoughtful. The sojourn taught me new skills-foreign languages, such as Chinese and English. Even though, leaving is still the hardest thing to do, and it always will be, I also learned to love the vestiges of recollection. Therefore, now I learned to love my life, including meeting, leaving, smiles and tears. And because I have realized that God will give me something new when I have to lose what I have, I am slowly becoming into a person who can appreciate God’s plan even when I can not understand.
A to Z
Attached.
Belonging to someone.
Cherish who you are with.
Don't underrate it.
Everlasting is not impossible.
Forgetful is not an option.
Gracefully accepting.
How long have we been "US"?
I am who I am.
Jealousy is always dangerous.
Kindness should look for the right time.
Lousy friends are not needed.
My dear "true friends", where are you? how are you?
Optimistic, you taught me to be.
Peace, the world pretends to want.
Quite, please-
Reloaded, -
So I am.
Tired.
Urgent, that is.
Victory-longing.
Wonderous.
You should be yourself.
Zeal wiil help, huh?
Run, run, run
ARE YOU "N"?
ARE YOU "N"?
ARE YOU "N"?
Are you new?
Are you nervous?
Are you natural?
Aren't I neither?
Aren't I never?
Aren't I neutral?
R U N -!
God only knows
God only knows-
knows what I think,
knows who I really am,
who I will be with for the rest of my life.
What I want,
What I want to be,
What I plan,
Will all those matter when he just say a word?
If only I hear the clear voice, undeniable sign-even I can understand ,
I will be ...
I will be....
100% pure yours.
Mother Comes Pohang
I am so busy these two weeks. So, though my mother comes Seoul, Korea, I can't go there. We are agreed on meeting at Pohang. I had a important presentation today, so I slept only 1 hours, and I had a lot of touble for it. This is group presentation, but I couldn't express my opinion because my partners are older than me. Someone maybe say that it depends on me. But this is a different case because they tried but didn't want to got A+. So I couldn't order them. Anyway, the presentation was over and we leave final paper. I was very tired but I could endure it due to my expect I can meet my mom. Time past. 6p.m. My mother came to handong, but unfortunately I had to go ChilPo. The team leader forced us, "if you aren't go, you are regarded as an absentee." I hated him. He didn't try to listen my reasons. I was sorry to my mom and grandma because they had waited me. We met at last. She was really my mom. My love..............We spent a happy time. We walked on Bukbu beach. We went to JimJhilBang and slept there. I was so happy.... This Saturday I will go Seoul because she returned in Sri-Lanka.
Troublemaker
I am a troublemaker. I mistook today. I missed school bus. I forgot the bus time changed. I am not my shape before. Nowadays I was disappointed in myself. This semester I am late classes several times. How foolish I am. I need to pray. In my whole life, I have to put God in the middle of my heart. If I am not, I have no power to deal with everything. I want to improve my ability but I am rather myself declined. Tomorrow I have EGC class but I has not depart for Pohang yet. Because I have to go alone, too late time is dangerous for me. I set my schedule I will start at 00:30. God, I believe your words.."Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated."(Isaiah 54:4) "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being. so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the easure of all the fullness of god. Now to him who is able to do immesurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Epehsians3:14~21)
Busy Days
I saw a calender. I left 5 final exams. It is very important to me. I want to win a scholarship. I think it is the easiest way to earn money. I don't need to work for earnmoney. I have a lot of works to do. I have to change my major and go to the American embassy. I have a visa interview on June 8. On June 11, I have 2 exams and two week later I have three exam. Especially two courses' exam rate change, so I get more burden. Although I have much qualities to study, I want to enjoy it. I consulted with prof. Becky and decided to go to a language school during a year. All are not perfect, but I am walking my road step by step. Let's start now ! I expect my future and God's plan for me.
Seoul
I went Seoul, because I had a visa interview. This summer vacation, I will go to U.S. I will attend ESL program in Calvin University, and will go to Boston my raletives live in. This is my first visit. When I was a child, I desired to go U.S. I have no reason about that, but just want to go. However, it is a little different case. My relative sister graduated Calvin Univ. and so I think that it is natural for me. "Someday I will go there~." It is my absolute think. The time when I will go there comes. Actually I began to flutter. I want to improve my English ability and think about various fields. This experience is valuable to me.
My thought
Today I realized something."Those who can love somebody and who have dreams, although they look impossible are beautiful."However, now I don't love anyone and have any dream. I didn't know the reason why there was no life in my life. Yes, Love... it was a correct answer. And a dream as well. I had an ambition rather than a dream several years ago. Of course, it was broken and once I was really depressed. since then, I have not yet found a new goal to make me passionate.Someone say that find it in Jesus. But I don't know how to do so. And I have no idea whether the thought is from real my heart. I don't want to pretend to be...
My sister came home
I went to Daegu last weekend and came back yesterday. The reason for visiting home was to see my younger sister currently enrolling in a high school in Manila in Philippines visited home because her summer vacation just started. The schools in Philippines begin very early their summer vacation. It is probably because of the very hot weather there. Anyway, I was glad to see my sister because it had been for almost 3 months since last time we saw each other. I was able to find my sister had been more matured. Also, she got better grades this semester and I and my parents as well were pleased. And then our family went to some nice place to have a dinner together at Saturday night and the meal was actually pretty delicious. I hope to visit the place again some time. Overall, our family had a great time together in Christ. In addition, during the yesterday sunday worship service God blessed a lot and received much grace, so I thanked God.
Kingdom of Heaven
Last Saturday I went home and watched 'Kingdom of Heaven' with my sister. The movie was good and I enjoyed it. The movie was about the crusaders of the middle age. I think the crudader lost the essance of true Christianity that was why they broke out such war against Muslims. Losing hold onto God's desire for world mission, the Chritians at that time focused on other unnecessary issues like Jewish. So, I will not lose hold onto God's will for world evangelization.Though the crusaders fought upon the name of God's will, they lost the true essance of God's will.
