Water Lilies as the Life Saver


As I was travelling along Escolta, I noticed the river covered with waterlilies... I remembered a story I read in a newspaper... A guy jumped to the river to save his life from an attempted kidnapping or something... He was not a good swimmer and he was shot by a bullet but he was able to swim to the water lilies and lied there for 3 days... because of the air inside the water lilies stems... not only that they served as food to last him that long... the lilies also served as his life saver...
I actually had a thought in my mind as I was observing the lilies floating on the river.... I asked myself if God ever thought that those lilies could save someones life and not just be food for the fishes... Does everything here on Earth really existed at once or by evolution... I mean... what if God is currently watching us right at that very moment... when a man was about to jump to the river... did He paused the scene and then drew the lilies in the river.... and made the lilies "exist" not just in the scene but in our minds and in the history of living things.... I mean... before, we do not know that there is such a plant as lilies... and then just because something/ someone has to be save... there has to be things that should exist in order to alter the future.... maybe somethings in this life of mine never really existed before... but now it does... because something has to happen... hmmm am I crazy or what??? :p

Woooohhhhh....

An ex of mine invited me to learn scuba diving with him hehe but it's quite far ... well, I really wanted to go... this might help me with my depression... and I miss him too haha... Last night, we were together with a friend... eating "siomai"-steamed shrimp and meat balls wrapped with a thin sheet of dough hehe... in Gloria Maris then drank coffee in Coffeebean & Tealeaf... then went home... I kept on teasing him about how big his tummy was hahaha... to my surprise he reached for mine and pinched it hahaha but it's okay... I think there was nothing malicious about it...hmmm... maybe he missed me too hahaha... well couldnt think of anything to write anymore... ciao bloggers... (as if someone can read my posts! weehee)
