from me to you
Hey there!
Welcome to the tiny place in cyberspace of a girl who blogs her blues away. And well, maybe out of boredom as well.
How on earth you found your way here may be intentional or completely random, but you're welcome to look around either way.
The navigations are on the ribbon. Just click on them to get around the page. Please do leave me a message on my tagboard so that I know you dropped by.
Thanks and enjoy! :)

the wallflower
Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
Definition
- One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity.
- A lady at a ball, who, either from choice, or because not asked to dance, remains a spectator.
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively.
I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart.
I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way.
I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride.
My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

With the little time I had to myself this week (the rest of it was given to school work and papers), I used it to browse through my Gospel and the Productive Life manual to read up on what our lesson will be for this Friday's Institute class. I found that it was going to be "Selecting and Becoming an Eternal Companion". President Spencer W. Kimball said: "I have warned the youth against the many hazards of interfaith marriage, and with all the power I possessed, I warned young people to avoid the sorrows and and disillusionments which come from marrying out of the Church and the unhappy situations which almost invariably result when a believer marries an unbelieving spouse... We recommend that people marry those who are of... the same religious background, without question."A thought crossed my mind as I read this opening statement of the lesson, and I'd like to share it with you. The status "single" technically means you are not in a serious relationship. There is, on the other hand, a more specific term single Latter-day Saint women like me can use - "RESERVED". Why reserved? Think of it like a room reservation in a hotel. When a certain room is registered under your name, not just anyone can get inside; just those with permission. When a girl says she is "reserved", she is also not allowing just anyone to win her heart; just the selected ones she deems worthy. She filters out the men who will not help her progress and makes room for only the worthy Priesthood holders. I also mentioned earlier that "reserved" is a more specific term for "single" (not an entirely different one). A single person would say "I'm waiting for the right one", whereas a reserved person would say "I'm waiting for the worthy one". A single woman seeks a companion, whereas a reserved person seeks an eternal companion. A single person would use mind and heart to tell if someone is a good catch, whereas a reserved person would use, mind, heart, AND prayer. It's not just us who will know a worthy man - Heavenly Father will too. He will "tell you in your minds and in your heart (D&C 8:2)" that you are making the right choice. It's a given that our ultimate goal is be back in Heavenly Father's presence someday. Our partners can either make or break this plan, so need we dare to marry someone who will not help us get there? NO, we must not. As 2 Corinthians 6:14 says, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with nonbelievers". Prayer over perception, worthiness over wealth, eternally over earthly - let us have these in mind when faced with a choice for a partner. Let us bravely say "Temple Marriage or nothing". So my status? RESERVED :)
