One's assessment

i've reached a quarter of my life 

and i thought of what have happened in the past 

the things ive done, 

the things i didn't do 

the dreams and achievements 

and the endless quandaries 

what have i become in all those years? 

have i done things that could make Him proud of me? 

did i make my mom proud? 

did my family felt the warmth of my love for them? 

have i failed to show my love for the people around me? 

in all those years, each time i looked back 

i saw things that i failed to be a better person 

things that at times deprives me of my willingness to go on 

things that i blame others for not understanding me 

when all sides of it is really wrong 

things that made me lost a lot because i let them happen 

and yet there were things too, that made me stronger 

things that i always looked forward to each day of my life 

things that at times make me proud of what ive become 

things that made me greatful for what others have done to me 

those precious little things that make me see the goodness of life 

maybe life isn't just how you make it to be 

it's already designed the way He wanted it to be 

it's up to you how you would play your part 

and how you would live things the way it's all laid up

I'm so fond of reading novels but I have this thing for reading almost all of the titles from the same author. It's really rare that I will get one from the shelf with no idea of who the author is, unless, of course, it will be on the best seller aisle. So, when we move in to our new place, I had the chance to assess all of the books that I have at home and realize that there were some that I haven't read yet and forgot that I bought it on one of the book sales I always go to. And one of them was Jeffrey Archer's "A Twist in the Tale". I didn't know he was good too so when I saw in Carrefour that they were having a book sale and saw another Archer's, I immediately grab it. And I really like the way he vividly describe each event in the story and you'll feel like you're part of it. I'm reading now the "False Impression". It's really good. I don't know if being in Serangoon now is a good thing because I've finally got myself back into reading. On my list of books to buy/read... 1. John Grisham's The Innocent Man 2. John Grisham's Playing for Pizza 3. Harry Potter's last book *though I've bought it months ago, haven't got the time to read it yet* 4. James Patterson's Cross
