*Yawning… God…I’m so sleepy atm, though I went to sleep early last nite. Yeah well, since my inet connection had been crippled for three days, I had nothing else to do beside watching TV serials. The long awaited Sunday had passed, a very nice, exhausting one.
Recharge my battery on Saturday. Just stayed at home, watching DVDs, sleeping while waiting for the Speedy guy to come. But he didn’t come after all. Watched Chuck season 2, ep 4. Got these ideas for the next postings, including the one from Eli Stone season 2 ep 2, but they’d have to wait. Ivonne was still (if not getting more) beautiful in Chuck. Went to attend afternoon mass since I thought I wouldn’t have the time on Sunday. It’d been quite long since I attended a mass on my own parish church… :D
Well, the ambience was still soothing and relaxing. The pastor who served the mass was a new one (or was him a guest pastor? I dunno…). He gave a very interesting sermon…it’s about God temple.
In the first reading which was taken from Ezekiel 47:1-2.8-9.12, it’s said about the water that flowing out from the house of God and that the water gave life to everything it touched/passed. The second reading, taken from St. Paul’s letter to Corinthians (1 Cor 3:9-11, 16-17)…said that we’re the houses of God. We’re the living stone of house of God. And the bible reading was taken from John 2:13-22. This time Jesus mentioned Himself as the God Temple. What were these all about? The essence was that we often to see church (God temple) as a physical structure, a place where we gather, celebrate Eucharist, pray together, etc. But we were reminded to (also) perceive church as our own body, in broader perspective, our lives. And just like the temple of God brought life to everything it touched, we, as the living stones, the church, also had to bring life to all around us, through our daily lives. So church, which was also a sacrament, should be a living one, not just a lifeless building/structure.
Woke up early on Sunday, ate breakfast then went to our rendezvous point at Gadink in the morning. Bowo called me, then Agus came, the latest was David. We went to TA. It’d been few months since the last time I went there. Arrived at the community center at around 9 sth AM. The theme of the event was ‘One Love’. I registered the four of us then I just found that there was also a mass there before the talkshow. So I successfully attended mass twice in a week, in less than 24 hours to be exact. The pastor also gave a good sermon. There was one funny term the pastor mentioned. It’s SJ (Serikat Jesuit), stands for Society of Jesus. But the pastor gave another meaning for it. He said SJ stood for Selamanya Jomblo (Forever Single)…lolzzzz…The four of us couldn’t hide our chuckles.
After the mass, it’s lunch time break. We (well I was the one who’s very excited I think) waited anxiously for the talkshow to begin because it the guest stars were Krisnamurti and Olga Lydia. Yup, the one and only Olga Lydia. I didn’t really care about Krisnamurti, I just knew him as one of (many) motivator/speaker (pardon if I was wrong). The talkshow began at 1.15 PM. Olga was beautiful, as always. Her hair was curly and they prepared a couch on stage to give a more relaxed athmosphere. But it was not too interesting (plus my homies were already boreddd), so we skipped the rest of the event. We went down to TA, walked around a bit, then ate lamien at Daniang Dumpling. It wasn’t there the last time I went to TA.
Happy Puppy Green Garden was our next destination. The road was quite clear. It’s better to drive on Sunday. Arrived there and sang for two hours. It’d been quite some time since we went karaoke together. After our karaoke session, we decided to go to Puri Indah Mall. On the way there, we stopped by at Sandwich Bakar. *Yummyyy… We wandered around Puri Indah. The mall was small (compared to Gigantic Gadink). We got bored immediately. There’s only one dept store there, Keris. We didn’t find anything interesting there, so we went to the Starbucks, drank some coffee, chatted and laughed like crazy. Time passed by so fast, it was almost half a day we spent together. We went back home, talking about classic TV Series we used to watched back in the late 80s-90s. Series like Airwolf, The A-Team, Time Trax, Quantum Leap, Voyager, Knight Rider, My Secret Identity, Out of This World, The Greatest American Superhero.
I dropped my homies at Gadink, then picked up Aan, she needed a lift home. We talked about her new job on our way back home and a lil bit about her wedding plan. My and my homies were really left out on this department…lolzzz…
Went back home and finished my new homework which I got from Jef on Saturday. Since the inet connection was still down, I copied Knight Rider from Jef on Saturday while checking my modem at his house. I also got the chance to play around with his Ipod Touch. It’s very…tempting…nice user interface. So smooth… *shrugged the thought of buying Ipod Touch. Well, I got Knight Rider 2008 and Bionic Woman. These two add the already quite long list of TV serials I watched.
*sighhh…another week awaited me. Luckily, I had fully recharged my battery during the weekend.
One love
One message
I believe in the church of your heart…
Roxette - Church Of Your Heart
Can't we leave the world outside
Just for a while? just for a while?
And spend some time, you and I,
Under this bright glorious sky
It's been so long since I first saw you,
But I still love that smile in your eyes.
Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart.
Step inside, lay yourself down
Just for a while, rest for a while.
I can hear a thundering sound
Beating inside when you're around.
It's been so long since I first meet you,
Since we made love, you know how time flies.
Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
And believe in the church of your heart.
In the church of your heart.
