raystown. a fall getaway.



fall's by far the best season of the year and thanks to it, i had one of the most relaxing getaways since coming to state college. nature must have one of the best artistic flairs i've seen with its perfect colour combinations and textures, the weather's chill, cold enough to keep one excited about winter yet retaining the smell of summer nostalgically, as though reluctant to say its last goodbye. perhaps in an awareness that this season will end all too soon, i fall in love with its beauty all the more. and as all photos seek to do, these freeze-frames a temporal beauty in a temporal space and time.







and at the same juncture, i realised temporality lies in the eyes of the beholder.the hills, the trees, the lake--clearly older than my existence, yet perceived too minutely in my myopic perception of time.

and then my eyes finally saw what drew me to these picturesque sights. the knowledge that these tiny eyes (pun intended:D) can see and understand what her mighty creator can do.

psalms 121 overwhelms my thoughts.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

:)



so dont blame me for wanting to embrace fall, its beauty, benefits, but most importantly as a gift from God, like literally:D

a random post because i feel randomly happy

people who know me best probably would have known how much i hate it when i oversleep.it has this strange sort of domino effect on my day and everything just ends up in shambles at the end of it all. it's really a bad emotional habit of mine that im learning to change and to try to entrust every single day to God(despite and in spite of the fact that things dont go the way i planned them to) but yeah, so i was really surprised that today wasnt as bad as i had imagined it to be:) i was supposed to head down for ocf's first bible study at 10 but guess what, i kept snoozing my alarm clock and i guess somewhere along the way, i accidentally pressed the button to switch it off. i ended up waking at 11 instead(am i a pig or what) and realised that the guys were waiting for me for the past half an hour and consequently caused the bible study to start half an hour late:/ gosh i still feel super apologetic and guilty about it. but anyway, on with my story, since i couldnt make it for oc...

i love physics.

every morning an endless battle ensues within me. the gravitational force that's tugging at me back into bed and the equally strong urgency derived from a pile of never ending work that's making me move towards my breakfast drawer. usually the one that requires me to travel the shortest distance ends up victorious. the bed of cos, which goes without saying. unless the force on the other end is simply too great a draw- a growling stomach maybe, but almost all the time, it's about work that's loading as if each piece were under the influence of gravity and the only way it could go is down onto me. sometimes i wish both forces work in the same direction.

the emmient change.

i am officially annoyed at how long it's taking me to change the layout of my blog. so annoyed that im almost tempted to search for my old blog template and restore it to its good old times. i am increasingly amazed and dismayed at my tendency to not carry through what i had originally planned to. --time for change! (though let's just leave the blog in construction till another day.:P)
