His Eye Is On The Sparrow

-
This past few weeks I've been obsessed with a song from Sister Act II.

It could be because the simplicity yet deep meaningful lyric, it could be because Lauryn Hill and Tanya Blunt sang it very beautifully. Nevertheles, I can't get the song out of my mind.

"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart fell lonely
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow

And I know he watches
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches me

He watches me. Everywhere I go, every step I take, every decision I made, He watches. He guide me all the way. There are time I choose not to listen, there are times I regret things. But He still watches.

This song remind me of classic Sunday School song, "Burung Pipit yang Kecil".

Burung pipit yang kecil dikasihi Tuhan, terlebih diriku dikasihi Tuhan.
Bunga bakung di padang diberi keindahan, terlebih diriku dikasihi Tuhan.

Not merely because both songs mention birds, hehehe.
Also because God is great, He loves His creations. Wild flowers and little sparrows, more over human kind which He create similar to Him.



A sentence from "3 Idiots" movie that I like (don't remember the exact words but it went something like this):
Our little hearts? They got scared easily.
So I pat mine when I'm sacred, and say "all is well"




Conclusion?
My scared little heart, He watches.
He watches, He understands.
So be brave, for He will guide you all the way.

Dragon Ball

Due to the lack of interesting new manga titles and new releases, I'm currently re-reading Dragon Ball. And let me state here that Dragon Ball is an ingenious work. I'm talking about clean original artwork, not over the top battle scenes (for my taste), and very very humorous with just a tiny dash bit of healthy perverted jokes. Very nice. I remember reading this series from my brother's and my little cousin's collections as a child. Alongside Doraemon. It is safe to say that Dragon Ball is one of the best battle manga ever created, if not the pioneer. I think it has a very interesting concept, about a very strong powerful purehearted boy who turns out to be an alien named Goku. And then there are several different levels of gods ruling different territories and galaxies. In addition, the king of Dragon Ball's earth is a dog whom wear glasses. Goku would later have two sons. He has several very good powerful bestfriends, a genius engineer friend whom later would mar...

Another finding at an exhibition. Ooohh how I love exhibitions/bazaars.....!! Things you can find are so unpredictable. This necklace was not pricey, very unique and ethnical (naturally). It reminds me of a traditional costume, but I don't know which. Does anybody have a clue which traditional costume this necklace resembles? It's not Toraja nor Padang nor Thai, I looked it up and they look nothing like the necklace. But it does look like Toraja/Batak/Padang traditional HOUSE though. Pointy at both ends. Hahaha. introducing my partner in crime, fellow fashion idolatre, idolater (i mean fashion idolazer;) : Kak Aly

Hello! How's it going guys? Not all rainbows, reindeer, unicorns, and lollipops for me. But I'll survive. Today I'm going to do another post about manga. from Otoyomegatari - Kaoru Mori One of my all time favorite mangaka is Kaoru Mori. She's known for her manga Emma, Shirley, and most recently is Otoyomegatari or The Bride's Story. The last one, Otoyomegatari, is the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. Oh-La-La!! The details are exquisite. It is sharp, charming, and realistic. Mori tells her story not only by words but most of the time through pictures. Loud ones. The other thing I love about her work is she often draws the smallest aspect of the characters' life but somehow relevant. Small aspects that you rarely see described by other mangakas. For example, the chapter about trousseau. Rather than describing everything with talking bubbles, Mori draws details and more details. Even the stitching process. Absolutely magnificent. "A lavishly em...
