Day 61: Ecclesiastes 12:1-8

“Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, ‘I have no pleasure in them'” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

Ah dearski! Those difficult days are coming when life will be just a drag and eternity will be both a touchable reality and a strong desire. When old age sets in, life seemingly becomes less and less worth living. Read Full Post

Day 60: Ecclesiastes 11:7-10

Wow…at the age of 23, this passage really strikes me. I feel like I am in that time of life between youth and old age, even though I know the expanse between the two is greater than that.

Philippines, Day 9: Greenhills Shopping Center, Again

Friday was the day we got most of our shopping done. We went to the Greenhills Shopping Center again and shopped basically for souvenirs for our family and our friends. This time, Dad did a lot of bargaining. For example, there was one model boat in a bottle that we got for 135 pesos; its original price was 250 pesos. Some people would not go down in price, but most of them did. You could tell that Dad was having fun and that he didn’t like it when they wouldn’t go down. The time went by really fast and before we knew it (literally), it was 10:00pm (9:00am CST). We had supper with Lily and her family again and afterwards went to Starbucks for the third time in one week. Once again, I got a fruit-flavored drink since I don’t like coffee. Read Full Post
