I woke up too late to make it for class but early enough to wake up urgh!! Anyway, regarding my previous entry on temptation and transgression, here's my guide on how to get through it.

Temptation is an invitation to sin and how you respond to it is your choice. All impure actions start in your mind and if you dwell on them and entertain them , your emotions will join in and soon you will yield to it. So i guess the main thing to do is to discpline your thought life for our mind is a battlefield for our soul.

1. Think Happy Happy thoughts!
to focus on everything else that brings joy and colours in your life

2. Listen to lots of music
TRALAAAAaa the song that im playing over and over again now is: Simple Plan's when im gone. AND im not ashamed about loving the pop band has beens!!


3. Feed yourself. EAT
Im ashamed to admit but my second comfort food after dessert would be CARBO. URGH!!! Dr Atkins would be ashamed of me. but oh fuck it, whatever makes you happy right. In anycase if you really dont want to eat, you can always occupy your mouth with something else as illustrated by BC below. HAHAHA

4. Hang out with Hotties.
er well not them...but yea.

5. Hang out with a great friend!


If all methods fail and even if you yield to temptation eventually, this last point will still help you get through it all. A friend doubles joy and halves sorrows. this phase will pass and one day, we will look back, laugh at ourselves as we drink beer and reminicise about the 26th March 08 pact we made that came true.

Temptation

Here is a Classic Illustration:

Cathay is struggling with her diet. Notice how temptation plays into transgression

1. I will take a drive, but i won't go near the grocery store

2. I will drive by the grocery store, but i will not go in

3. I will go in the grocery store, but i will not walk down the aisle where the candy is on sale

4. I will look at the candy , but not pick it up

5. I will pick it up, but not buy it

6. I will buy it, but i will not open it

7. Open it, but not smell it

8. Smell it, but not taste it

9. Taste it, but not eat it

10. Eat Eat Eat EATTTT!!!


Its all in the mind really and i need to get over myself. The truth is so clear and you have No respect for my feelings. No matter how many times you come back things wont change because a leopard will never change its spots. All i need now is to do myself a favor and be stronger for me.

I can't waste time, so im just going to give myself a moment.

And in Moses's "Wise" words : Its good to love someone HOT. hahahhaaa


No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyong what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it- 1 Corinthians 10:13

a new lifestyle

I've decided to have a change in lifestyle.

No more clubbing. ( okay, only when really necessary)
No more smoking ( this is my umpteenth time trying to quit and i hope i can finally do so)
Much less drinking

This isn't forced abstinence. This is a choice I've come to make over the course of the last few weeks. i don't think anyone will really believe me because the above three are basically my favourite activities. But i don't know...these past few weeks after all the constant hardcore partying, late nights, gallons of liquor , horrid liver pains and packs of cigarettes i suddenly feel that this should all stop. I don't mean total withdrawal but I've just realized how over the top I've went. Maybe Ive pushed myself too much to the limit but I'm suddenly pretty sick of that lifestyle. God I've been partying since before i was legal and throughout the years, I've only arrived home later, guzzled more and more alcohol, chain smoked at a much more alarming pace and I'm not getting any younger.

I'm seeing the perks of not partying. No more worn out shoes, no more spending on cab fares, no more spending on entrance fees, no more unwanted attention, no more suppers ( woohoo) etc. My late teenage life pretty much centered around finding the most lethal drink, the hottest club and other ways to get high. And i have no regrets, its like a been there, done that kinda thing. i think its time i retire to doing something that will make this new chapter of my life more fulfilling.

Though a life without the above mentioned will be pretty boring..but hey, im sure ill manage. SO many people out there spend thier weekends sober so im sure i can too. Have some faith it me! To week two and beyond!! (:

Its Good Friday now. before i go to bed, i just wanna thank God for his unconditional love for us. And Jesus, for because of you we are all saved.

the march holidays

i LOVE the school holidays! its the best season of the year and it beats christmas and cny anytime. The only thing i complain about is how fast it seems to past. boo. Anyway, ive been pretty busy enjoying my holidays that ive found no time to blog.

Because everyone is normally free at night, i have lots of daytime free. But im not complaining because this is when i get to do what i really really love and do best at.

so heres a rain check on what ive been busy with during the better part of the day.

1. Lots and lots of Viwawa!

2. www.surfthechannel.com
One of the best websites EVER. OH GOD they have ALL the TV SHOWS you could ever want. The huge TV junkie in me has been really busy catching up on season three of HIMYM, project runway, Lost, The Office, Top Model and the L word.

3. Reading. My current fav author would be Augusten Burroughs. Author of the incredibly fuuny " Running with Scissors" and "Dry"

4. My guilty pleasure that is..watching Daytime Talk shows! I could SO live in the US hahaha..

On a stay home Tv Day, this is the usual TV guide
- Oprah ( hallmark 1pm)
- Ellen Degeneres ( Starworld 2pm)
- Ellen Degeneres ( Channel 5 5pm)
- Tyra Banks Shows ( Channel 5 6pm)

I have to add that I respect Oprah the most ( she is my Daytime Emmy winner), I couldnt get past a day at home without Ellen and Tyra should just stick to hosting America's Next Top Model.

5. Perez Hilton.com lol that bitch.

6. Draw . I've been doing lots of drawings in the hols whoppee and my current inspirations are Nude potraits.
