U2 Rocks the House (of God)
Bono inspires worship with an edge.
by Elizabeth Diffin

After so many years, i heard this song again. and as i was singing the chorus, i realized that while so many things had happened and changed since the first time i heard it, it was still my song. and it still spoke about my life and pursuit even up to now.

these days, i’m back to holding office on the road, shuttling in between meetings and appointments in various parts of the metropolis. i don’t lug my laptop around as much anymore, but my bag is heavy with my moleskinnes, PDA, ipod, and my book of the moment. my palm smartphone is my constant companion, [...]

i know i haven’t been writing much lately.
but i have been walking around a lot. riding buses, trains, cabs.
skipping breakfast and lunch.
having dinners with friends.
worshiping. praying.
getting blessed.
reading.
singing out loud.
twirling in public places.
feeding the ducks and fishies and little turties.
laughing.
remembering.
and giving thanks.
wrestling with little aches.
celebrating.
still procrastinating.
still waiting.
(trying not to panic)

walked the fish around town.
drove at 80-90 km/h (not really sure how fast because the speedometer was broken) on macapagal avenue with my eyes closed and hands off the wheel for a whole 10 seconds (at around 1AM)
cried my heart out with my head on the wheel of my car at every intersection [...]

it’s “the pink elephant” day. as my sister had put it (quoted from josh b.), and my insides are still shaking from the experience. and no matter how tired i am, i can’t sleep until my nerves settle down. i’ve never had this reaction to anything before (other than after rappelling off a 100-foot bridge, [...]
