30% of 30
I took a later train yesterday. Wandering around Urban Outfitters can take quite a while.
When I was standing on the platform, I remembered WHY I take an earlier train. Being short and all, I don't like getting smushed like sardines. However, it does make listening to other people's conversation a lot easier!
This was my favorite Boy and Girl convo from yesterday's train ride.
Boy: What is 30% of 30?
Girl: Well.. 50% of 30 is 25.
Boy: No, I think it's 15.
Girl: Oh.. then 30% must be around 12.
Boy: I think it's less then 12.
Girl: Let's just say it's around 10.
Boy: Ok. You're good at math.
Me: Stop and Staring. Ummm... how did you pass 3rd grade math? You both look at least 18.
30% of 30 is 9!

Ephesians 3:17-19
"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 measure of all the fullness of God"
I stumbled across this looking for HappySlip on youtube... she wrote a song called "Your Love"...

When I try to look elsewhere or in others
I lose myself
For my life is nothing without you
My CreatorYou give me meaning
You give me purpose
I find my destiny in you oh GodHow wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh LordUnless the Lord builds this house
I will build in vain
I will sink in the sand
But I choose to stand on you
The Rock of my SalvationYou give me meaning
You give me purpose
I find my destiny in you oh GodHow wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh Lord
For when I fall
When I fail
You pick me up
And hold me in your armsOh Lord my God
Redeemer and my Friend
You’re the Alpha, Omega
The Great I am
And I give my all to youHow wide
How long
How high and how deep
Is your love oh LordI die to myself
So that you might live in me oh Lord
All the days of my life
Shine through me
Oh God of who I am
Oh God of who I am

h.e.a.v.e.n.
Chan Lan Wai
A woman that had spent her life loving a man that loved her no more than any other woman. A woman that held, ever so strongly, to a bottle that erased her pain --- for a few moments each day. A woman that didn't let us help her heal; because she's already too broken.Tell grandma and auntie that we miss them... in heaven.
What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

l.o.v.e.
we were at calvin's last nite...enjoying dumplings and pineapple juice on a thunderous nite....
and i saw this new DeBeers diamond commercial that ended with a quote...
" With every waking moment, love grows..."
how simple...but undeniably sweet.
... of course, i would think that even when a person is sleeping, love continues to grow...hmmm...i think that has to do w/ the notion that even in your dreams....you hope to see the one that you love...la di da...

so...
I started my new job in the city a week ago...and I have yet to take the PATH to work yet.... all thanks to my daddy for wanting dimsum every morning =) spoiled? ehh... no... loved?? quite yes!
...went to Cosi for lunch. I had a Cosi Cobb Salad...it was quite scrumptious... really liked the gorgonzola and bacon bits!
but someone working there should really consider making a suggestion to redesign the entire order/counter area. There's is something seriously wrong with the logistics.... customer staging is considereably messy and it's just plain slow!
btw...
this crazy (real feel: 105 degrees F) heat wave makes me mad!
bc stupid people leave their kids or pets in cars with all the windows rolled-up!!
if you cannot imagine yourself sitting in a car under the sweltering sun, you should be conscientious enough to take your child with you!

Faith
I don't understand...
I can't fathom....
...the reasons that push people to hurt each other beyond reason.
My prayers are with the family and friends who had lost someone to the horror at VT; and with those who survived to remember.
It is at times like this that faith strengthens.
--------------------
On Sunday, the St. Dom's Women choir sang at Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) event. The keynote speaker was a survivor of two concentrations camps. His parents died of hunger; his brothers and sisters arrived at the first concentration camp together. The boys walked to the left; the girls to the right. That was the last time he will ever his sisters....he was only 14. For the next year, he lived on potato peels and threadbare clothing. As the Allied troops stormed the camp, his knew his will to survive, faith and fate persevered.
We sang a song, titled "The Butterfly". It was based on a poem written by Pavel Friedman during his stay at the Terezin concentration camp. It's all about hope, freedom, and dreams.
"The Butterfly"
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
against a white stone. . . .
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly 'way up high.
It went away I'm sure because it wished to
kiss the world good-bye.
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don't live in here,
in the ghetto.Of 15,000 children who were in Terezín, at one time or another, only 100 survived.
Faith. Prayers. Conviction.
