• Still Here!

  It has been more than a month that I signed in to Xanga.  Time is running fast and my Thesis is still very stubborn to move ahead.  The supervisor is equally helping the lazy thesis to remain where it is.  And to make matters more complicated, my room mates have decided that they will never sleep nor leave the room; and library, don't ask about it.  The hard chairs make my back ache like anything and my laptop has begun to act like a windmill sending the low wave of noise that everyone in the library thinks that I am some kind of insensitive creature disgracing their brand new laptops; "if everyone can bring the noisy laptops to library, why should we spend the money to buy a new one?"

  The weather has also decided to help my thesis; the economic crisis has sent an allergy for the airconditionars and fans are no match to the Korean heat.  By the end of this month, the dorm where I live is going to be demolished to give a way for a new building, and have no idea where they will store me after.

  But the good news is that God is not bothered by anything at all.  Sorry that I had forgotten to mention to my xanga friends that on May 23, a church in Kathmandu was bombed, three killed and many seriously injured.  The Hindu group wants to vanish the Christians out of the country.  They had begun to serve the notice to many churches.  But yesterday morning, the police have nabbed the terrorist who placed that bomb in the church.  A 27 year old woman...can you imagine that a woman, the symbol of mother, care and nurture, safety and protection would step up to do the heinous act of killing the innocent in the name of Religion.  A mother and her 15 years old daughter along with another young bride who was in honeymoon to Kathmandu from India were killed in that blast...very sad day for the church in Nepal.

  I am now almost four months away from home, family and church.  Family is doing all right but the fear and apprehension without the husband and father, specially when there are groups that are there to attack can be very worrisome.  Church is doing great too.  This will they will baptize a new group of members after I had left.  This gives me comfort that God works regardless of who leads the church.  The Succor team of our church lost to another team, but the boys were still complaining as how even in Christian sports there can be bias from the referee. 

  I hope to catch you up sometimes soon again...please hold us in your prayers.
