Life is drawing without an eraser

yes. love those inspiring words. i LOVE my catholic catechesis. i LOVE my faith. i LOVE doing these youth gatherings. sigh.
my life, guys, is based around these main elements:
church
family
church
friends
church
school
church

well yeah i love my church
i love the people there
why?
because they make me think about things
they make me question life
and the values that we all hold
alright
so today we had a catechesis and a mass and a prayer session (sigh.. love these. so relaxing and...perfect for de-stressing and....wow) at the cathedral in the city. and in the relfection part of the catechesis, they showed this slideshow of all these beautiful nature scenes (for want of a better word) and with each slide, there was a quote. well, i coudln't READ all of them..damn you tall people. damn you peter and trung for making me sit BY MYSELF...grrr...anywya i read a few
the ones that i remember are:
1. Life is drawing without an eraser
2. Plan for tomorrow, LIVE for today

well, the first one is the best one, i think
it's jsut like wha ti've been saying to yo uall
life is like drawing without an eraser
it's like
when you make a slightly inaccurate decision, your line falters
but those few times when you know that you've made the RIGHT choice? yeah that line you've just drawn is perfectly straight and firm. and strong. and ...well yeah. and becaus eyou have no eraser, there's no going back, there's no point in regretting what you've done, "there's no regretting the things you went and told. life's full of mistakes destiny and fate." <--guess where those few lines are from? teehee

the second one is so true. you can have your dreams, but don't live for tomrorw. live for right now. make the most of every moment you ahve, because that one momoent only comes around once. see? like today. wow i dont' think i could have spent my day any better.
i'm so glad that peter threatened me and made me go to the DYG beacuse well, it was so worth it. and i spent all day today doing the things thati love with the people i love. the perfect sunday, right?
btw..i spent my day like this:
church in the morning
camp meeting for tn camp
normal tn
out for lunch with family
go home do some homework
DYG catechesis
the mary mackillop walk thingy with peter trung duy tri
talking with people of the same faith from different groups
LOL explaining TN to aussies (love it..LOL)
Palm Sunday mass with the bishops. wow it was so pretty
it was hilaroius, singing with peter and trung and tri (who struggles to read)...duy was singing i think
sigh

see? perfect sunday
love it
toady's DYG theme was
hope
wow
hope
it was like
the perfec ttheme for me
right now
and i got so much ou t of i t
i'm trying to kepe my hope up all the time now
i'm basing everything on hope
i'm trying to keep hope going
through everything
because i nkow that even when i'm unsure and even when it feels like it's all going to fall apart (like right NOW), i know that god is always there
and he is my hope
he is my source of hope
and as long as i have my faith
i have my hope to keep me going through everything
over every little bump in life
i have my faith
i have my hope

FAITH HOPE LOVE

sigh.
the three virtues
just hoping i can keep them with me all the time
