Off The Island.

Don't really fancy city life at this moment.

So much work to be done by tomorrow.

O Lord, have mercy and see me through this.

I'm still in the mood for a holiday.

I can't wait for next month's trip to Bali :)

I like tanned complexion.

Be Alive.

It's so good to be alive.

I'm really thankful for every person that I meet.

So glad that I can make the right decisions... because sometimes I feel as if God's telling me "Go ahead child, that's the right thing to do."

I like how God seems to put warning signs when I'm about to do something wrong.

But, I still go ahead with the wrong. Sometimes.

Still, there's tomorrow and I gotta enjoy today.

I know that you're alive and reading this... but some of you really gotta be alive.

Be alive in all you do. Believe in all you do.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Ain't Life Grand?

3:32am.

I'm back home, sitting on the sofa.

I feel safe and comfortable here.

I've complained too much about how much I don't like being at home.

That's the reason I find every excuse to go out.

I was out on the streets, riding high in the Black Knight.

So many thoughts ran through my mind.

Scheming and planning, I felt so ready to face the world.

I could imagine how life will turn out for me.

Ain't life grand?

As I held that thought, I faced death.

Again.

Got hit from the left by a Proton Waja, sending the Black Knight skidding across the road to face the opposing flow of traffic.

Thank God there wasn't oncoming traffic.

A police car was behind me when the whole thing happened. Ain't God great?

I stepped out of the car, not fully aware how awesome it is to be still alive and safe.

I prayed for mercy. For forgiveness. For favor. For peace. For safety. For rationality. For righteousness. For honesty. For integrity.

There was the guy in the Proton Waja, two police officers and a growing crowd of onlookers, busybodies and runners.

I wasn't alone, but at that moment I felt like the loneliest person in the world.

It's times like these when the faithless walk away from God. It's times like these when the weary question and doubt God.

I didn't know where I'd stand, but I sure was too tired to be standing.

Everything will be alright, I believe.

The God of Jacob is my God. He stands by me and carries me when I cannot walk.

This God that I struggle with, He is still with me.

I still got a lot of choices. Many decisions to be made.

Pray.

Pray that I may make the right decisions.

Pray that I may walk right with God.

Pray that I may be responsible and careful with my actions.

I need a warm shower now.

Then, I will find rest.

Hallelujah, my great God is merciful!

It feels good to be alive.

Tell Me How You Feel.

Today, I went into counseling about half an hour late.

I think there's too much time wasted talking about failed relationships.

I didn't feel the need to sign a no-suicide contract, but I took it as protocol.

I should tell the counselor that I believe in existentialism.

I think I don't really need counseling.

I'm happy :)

(500) Days of Summer

I've finally seen it! :D

I liked it very much.

Somehow, it felt as if I already knew the story by heart even before watching the movie.

It was more like watching reruns of my own past.

A lot of mixed emotions.

I could totally relate to Tom.

Today, I saw my ex-girlfriend. The one I actually care about.

I watched her as she walked by, and I realized how different I see her now.

It brings me much happiness to see her in a different light.

She looked gorgeous and grown up.

I wish I could sing to her the song 'Perfect' by Smashing Pumpkins.

I texted her after little hesitation. It was good.

I'm done with my 500 days of summer. Like, finally. For real.

Summer's gone, let Autumn come.

Seriously?

I had a few Autumns along the way since Summer left.

Thing is, I never really felt comfortable... took out the leaf blower to clear the fallen leaves.

I don't know where I'm heading.

But, who says that it's gotta be like the movie?

I just don't know what I want because I'm spoiled for choice ;)

Lord, I Heard You.

Lord, nevermind.

Whatever!

Stop pushing the obvious into my face, I see it already.

Thanks again.

I'm still smiling :)

Not afraid of anything.

"The sun'll come out tomorrow!"

Golfing In The City?

Thanks to Shean for the photo :)

On Monday evening, Shean and I decided to check out Bangsar Shopping Complex as we've not seen the place after the renovations.

We walked around aimlessly until I remembered reading about a golf simulator place inside BSC.

We found it, it's called City Golf.

Walked in only to take a look, very impressive place.

Then this dude offered to give us a free tour of City Golf. Nice guy named Zac.

He showed us how the simulators work, the list of international courses, the range of clubs provided, the competitions and the promotional rates.

Shean and I got to try a few shots. AWESOME! :D

Shean doing his thing.

I was introduced to shiny new clubs. I must tell you what they were!

King Cobra S9-1 driver. Cobra S2 irons. Titleist Vokey Design wedges. Titleist Scotty Cameron putters.

I first picked a 7-iron. In my mind, I was thinking, "I cannot fail to hit a clean and good one with a 7-iron!"

Setup, backswing, blast.

Computer says I hit it 128 meters. 128 METERS, better than what I usually do at the driving range!

Very nice.

I instantly felt a rush of confidence running through me. Zac then tells me to try the driver.

I picked up the driver. Holding it and addressing the ball, I couldn't quite focus because the only thing going through my mind was, "OMG, King Cobra S9-1. I AM CAMILO VILLEGAS!"

THWACK!

Crap shot. Bummer. It was so embarrassing!

Time for some chipping.

I proceeded to pick up a 60-degree wedge.

Mind you, this is the Titleist Vokey Design wedge which is rated the best wedge in Golf Digest Magazine's Hot List 2009.

I managed to chip a nice one to within one feet from the pin.

The fake rough was actually pretty cool.

I then got to try putting, which I was really curious about.

I mean, putting the ball to the screen? Then what?

That was exactly it, but you gotta putt it to the right path with the right amount of speed.

This is a real test.

Uphill slope, breaking to the left. Distance: 8.2 meters.

I picked up the Titleist Scotty Cameron putter.

Very nice balanced and weighted feel, something I'm comfortable with.

At first attempt, I missed by inches. Darn left break.

I positioned myself for the second try.

"Kingsley, this ain't new, you sink these putts easily," I thought.

Hit the ball, followed-through well, and watched the ball as I maintained my position.

In the hole!

Man, was I happy :)

It was really fun to be able to hit a few balls in a shopping complex.

Now, I wanna play some real golf again, please!

Dona Nobis Pacem.

Trespassing kitty finds peace in my house.

I rediscovered peace in CF Camp.

Up in the cool highlands of Camerons with a bunch of newfound friends, I approached God in a way which I have not done in a long time, and it gave me peace.

Four days away from KL, I had enough time to think through the things I have yet to do.

Enough time also for discoveries.

A lot of plans from refocusing.

Now, to stay focused back here in reality.

Dona nobis pacem.

It Wasn't Her!

Today, I had too much free time in between classes.

I decided to drop by the main block and check out the Clubs & Societies Day.

It was all good, I see a lot of life in college.

I was chilling at the Christian Fellowship booth, watching people go by and seeing my friends do their thing.

Then, this girl walks by me and dayum, I was instantly attracted to her.

There's something about her that really got me.

That height, those eyes, the slight tan... I don't know what exactly caught my eyes.

I told Kok Wui to check her out and give me his opinion.

He nodded in approval.

Back in class, it suddenly dawned upon me that the girl kinda reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

I told Kok Wui and he was like "What the heck! At that time, I didn't know whether to tell you or not, she looks like your ex!"

Now, he's telling me that I should do some soul-searching.

LOL!

Honestly, Seriously.

I have a t-shirt with that statement on it.

Right now, I don't have much to say, really.

But don't you dare assume that I am sad!

I am happy.

Satisfied with life.

Of course, it could be better.

Someday soon :)
