Me and Him

This is between me and Him...this is what I say to Him and then he just reassures me with some few words...but that would be all I need...[Will you be there? - Michael Jackson]

In my darkest hour, in my deepest despair...
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through my doubts and frustrations

Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
Will you be there?


Ill never let you part
For you're always in my heart.

Let yourself be soaked!!

What's with an umbrella?! It gives you shelter from the rain! You just feel safe to roam around in rain and still know that you won't get soaked up with water. What more having someone holding it for you and holding you close; making sure that you're all covered!
Well this is a nice scene that I get to often glimpse through the window panes of my college when its raining...

How I wish I could have an umbrella that would ward away all the rain...all the work that I have to do...all that Greek and Hebrew parsing...all that reading...all that writing that I kick off with!! How will I ever say I'm done!! How will I ever ward off all the creeps and fears...!! Who will be my umbrella?!


My umbrella is only Him who says to me: "My child stand still...I will give you shelter...and no there is no way you will get soaked...It will surely happen that one day you'll say I'm done with all the work for I assure that I'll be with you every mile you go and you know that I will never let you down...I'll hold you close and never let you go! All my love is for you and nothing can beat it...no waters or floods can drown it...for my love is as strong that it conquers all...all fears and doubt! It is that which sets you free...so my child stand still for you're forever in my love...just get soaked with it!"

Weather in Belgium

Weather in Belgium is not as nice as in Malta...there is no doubt about it and everybody knows!
Many a times I'm asked why I still decided to come over to this gloomy country rather than not staying on the rocky island of Malta when the sun is always shining...well that's the idea! The sun is always shining...we do get rainy and stormy seasons...and when it rains it does so heavily...unlike here, when it rains and it rarely does now it just drips and you can still walk around with ease and do your errands with as much comfort...it drips all day and yet you see no water puddles...the streets are constructed in such a way that no matter the volume of rain water it flows down the gulleys and is stored at the water table. So no water is gone wasted and the roads are still safe to walk and drive on! Such systems should be devised in Malta...as to avoid all those days when it rains and many main streets are flooded and are thus closed to traffic...which causes much choas and inconvenience...I've had already consulted the mayor of my village about this fact...so that he could see to this...but apparently no heed was given to my call...better luck next time!!

Malta vs. Belgium/Leuven

Talking of high heels!! Well this is the pavement all over the city...It is quite uncomfortable to walk on! Well how about the street pavements! They are all uneven and you're safer on the road than on the pavement...the pavements are all dislodged...and you don't know where to step...I prefer walking by the sidewalk rather than on it...i prefer being run over by a car or by a bike rather than have to always trip over loosened tiles...believe me, we're far that is by far better in Malta...we're not that bad! We should be very proud of all that has been accomplished...we've truly made a step forward in many things...and we no longer feel any shame when people from abraod come to visit our shores!! So let's keep up our common heritage...

High Heels

Oh yes,he was right!there is a price to pay; there is always a price to pay;.nothing comes for free

Indeed, wearing high heels is not such a good idea...especially when you have to walk on city pavements and get your pencil heel stuck there as to then have no choice but to get to ask your buddy to pull it out for you in the middle of the night...and then get to walk barefoot for a while or else have your buddy lift you up and carry you all the way to your room...

Well the heels are almost ruined now...will get them fixed soon...in Malta...for they are by far cheaper there!


These high heels are what I call a necessary evil...when you're from the Mediterranean in a Northern country as Belgium you get to spot the differences...and not to feel and look as odd amongst the inhabitants you get to wear high heels to make up for the height discrepancy! Also, it serves another purpose...and that is why I get to wear them. You don't need to fix all your trousers...high heels solve it for you!

Full Week

Me - Cheri - Sandra

What a nice combination!! It's as if each of us decided to show off our pink outfits!!

It was quite a full week last week...It all kicked on Tuesday when a friend of mine invited me over to have dinner with him together with his friends at his place....we ate some typical food from Jordan and believe me it tasted heavenly!!! It was absolutely delicious...the company made it all the more! What a company! I got to witness to what real friends are like! These bunch of friends get to give everything, all that they are for each other! They are so committed to each other. They won't ever do something to infringe on their friendship's bonds!
On Wednesday, then, I was supposed to go out with some other friends for a night out! We had been planning this for ages and we all decided to have a go at it on Wednesday but I had to refrain from going because I was exhausted...I was dead tired and decided to turn the invitation down on the very last minute...they were all so disappointed but what can I do when the spirit wills but the flesh is too weak and vulnerable!?! Well I'll be catching up with thme next week!! On a Wednesday still!!

Valentine was the day that followed...St Valentine on Thursday...I got a bunch of red roses from a good friend of mine...the one who invited me over for dinner on Tuesday...it was quite an enjoyable evening...

Friday ...I stayed in...and then Saturday...then Sunday! On Sunday, I was invited to Cheri Gaumer's welcome back home party...it was quite an evening...I didn't stay that long for I wanted to head back to my room to get myself geared up for the week...and another week indeed has gone bay...and it's already Saturday!!

Yesterday I had a pleasant evening with a friend...we danced through the night and had the dance floor for ourselves...he is such a good dancer...he can make you turn as if on snow!!

My shoe sole is now all torn...from dancing and from walking round the city with all its rough pavements...will be going to the shoemaker when I get to Malta to have my shoes repaired!!

What's Love all About?!

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth
For his love is better than wine
Rightly everyone loves him....

[Cf. Sg 1, 1 - 4]

What is love all about?! Is it about just carressing?! About kissing and fondling?! It's not just that! Precisely because it's more and other than that! Love is ...there are no words good enough to say what something as mysterious and sacred as love is! Yet I would still dare to tread where angels dread to tread! I get to say that love is all that Paul said to the people of Corinth...that it is patient...that it awaits no matter what...that it gives up everything without keeping anything for itself...it has no reservations, no pretensions...it is what gives wings and yet it is that which makes you bleed...it is that which heals and scars.
Love is not to be taken as lightly...it's not all about fairytales...even the author of the shir hashirim cautions its readers to take love seriously for its passions are fierce as the grave and its flashes are flashes of fire...a raging fire which many many waters cannot quench and neither can floods drown it. [cf. Sg 8, 6 - 7]
