Night shift is fun so far. I would've thought I'd do worse but apparently I can adjust my body clock just fine.

All this talk with A- about personality tests spurred me to answer two in my favorite site similarminds.com

I don't know what it means by sexual hahaha. But i guess it's not wrong.

Anyway, by God's grace I'm doing great! I am free from porn; not from temptation, but by God's grace alone (yes i have to repeat it) I can escape. Green jokes are a daily bread here, and it's hard not to laugh. But i will train myself not to, for there are things that one should laugh about and things that one should not. Somewhere in proverbs it says that the wicked laugh about doing evil. Non-verbatim of course.

They're not wicked people, by human standards. They're actually pretty good and helpful and all. But of course it's hard to judge based on that; you never know what a person really thinks. In any case I find them very agreeable.

I also change my stance about depravity. I mean, I still believe total depravity, but I also believe that God created man good. So there's no reason to be pessimistic, and there's every reason to believe that we need grace.

I have not given up my daily reading, nor physical exercise (karate, to be specific). I don't have much to tell, but perhaps the thing I have in mind right now is making a facebook page named "Word of Mouth" that puts side by side the modern equivalent of Bible sayings, especially Proverbs. Of course I also want to bring to light the difference between the Bible and modern thought.

In any case an example of is YOLO and "Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we will die." I notice a lot of these things during my reading but I have not taken note of them. The reading plan I follow goes through a chapter of proverbs a day anyway so I'll be able to do it. (Not that was not from proverbs but you get the point).

Yesterday was Dad's birthday and I called to greet him and of course he said thank you and take care and the usual eat a lot. We don't have much to talk about I guess. Parents don't usually talk to children about their lives anyway. It's queer; the parent-child relationship can perhaps be the most uninformed yet the closest too. There's something about just being together that makes a person know the other even though they don't actually know everything (like what they do or what they like and dislike and the little things). It doesn't always apply; knowing another person is always intentional. Just like knowing God

Also my shifting allowance will be enough to pay for my vow (that's 22k to missions). I made a vow when I was in high school and we were still in FTB, and I signed this envelope that said P20 a week and there was another that said P50 a week and I was never able to commit to that vow. Mama said it no longer holds but I know otherwise. After that I can give to my parents. And maybe I can make ligaw na (#conyo). Except wala pang liligawan.

It's hard to mingle with new people now, though I have friends that are girls but there's no one that I like enough. Like I tweeted, it's easy to like people. I like everyone (almost). The thing is I want to be friends first because of course what do you expect? Love at first sight? But like I said among my friends there's no one I like enough. There are people that I wouldn't mind, but that's not the same though.

Lately my fantasy is having it the other way around; the girl courting me (This is a remnant of the flesh I'm trying to kill). There's nothing wrong about that though, I mean the idea of the girl courting a guy (but fantasies are generally evil, because "whatever is true... think about such things."). Oftentimes I would be tempted at around 3 AM night shift, even while doing rounds inside the plant.

I'm going to write something about extreme Christianity and I will evaluate whether I should continue hobbies such as manga and LoL, and karate for that matter. The lattermost though, I don't think is evil. It's actually helping me a little in my walk with God.
