oh yeah, happy new year peeps!! yes not only is it the year of new beginnings, but its the year of freedom!

january hasnt been the friendliest of months so far for this workyear -see how army has ingrained in me that the year starts and ends at the turn of april. been having like 4-5 hr meetings per day for more than a week now, and so much deadlines to meet and all. in fact, i just returned home from camp some 20 mins ago at 10pm. to be honest, i initially out of my ugly self, had wanted to dedicate this entire blog post
to rants about how unfair it is that as a nsf 3 weeks from ording i should be staying at home and enjoying the life of what-is-to-be and have an understudy(of course which never came) to be handling all my work for me. but well i suppose in a way its quite good exposure and all, a slice of what is probably to come in the working adult life. and come on, it really isnt so bad. it's not like i don't get paid or anything right lol.

was pondering about the recent Haiti earthquake this morning though. my prayers go out to the survivors and the families of those that are lost or still missing. i thought about what a random nobody like me could do from the safety of geographical distance, and i thought about how blessed i was. to think just a couple of thoughts before i was in the sulks with self-pity about how the workload seems to suffocate the life out of me, and
that's what i have to worry about? seriously?

then, kari jobe's "we cry out" kept surfacing in my head.
