Abide With Me, O Lord

-
  1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
    The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
    When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
    Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
  2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
    Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
    Change and decay in all around I see—
    O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
  3. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
    What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?
    Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
    Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
  4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
    Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
    Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
    I triumph still if Thou abide with me.
  5. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
    Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
    Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
    In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.


No word can describe how much in love I am with this song. It's simple yet powerful.
Like, I can feel His presence seeping through every word of this song. My favorite version of it is the one by Audrey Assad oh my her voice is just so aaaaa :"""
He indeed abides with me :) Amen

Bisous,

Serafina

Rejection? (Appearing lucky in not so lucky life)

-
So far, many things went smoothly in my life, imho. Kayak, yaudah aja gitu. Altho i don't really think too much about it, sometimes i wonder why. Even my closest people said something along the line, like, 'why are you so lucky?' Well, am i? I got rejection emails. lots of them. I failed classes, I make mistakes. See, people don't talk about rejection openly. Sometimes it even makes others feel small or insecure, even my own good friends feel it towards ME??? yo... Perhaps i just move on easily (i see this pattern with my relationships also tho lmao). Yknow, like when you flip a coin, it's a 50:50 chance, that's just how it is. this is in no way canceling the fact that im privilege, im well aware of that. it's just that, if you're facing rejection or a hard time right now, you are not alone lovelies. Gimana ya, i think it's just pretty normal, don't really make a big deal out of it. Well, not to invalidate their feelings but yall i face rejection...

this is a delayed post :( I've been wanting to write about my trip to these places but haven't got the time to do so. I and a friend of mine have been planning to go to vihara for some time and we finally did! We met at the station and proceeded to go to De Javasche Bank (I almost got hit by a motorcycle but all is good). This building was initially a bank but now it's a museum. We paid Rp 5000 for the ticket and we were served with beautiful history of Indonesia's economy. Although it's not too interactive but it's better than most museums. The rooms are nice and cold, the visuals are pretty aaaand we luckily got the chance to watch the history of De Javasche Bank in an immersive room! It was part of the package but they don't always play the movie. There's this cool room filled with gold bars and there's also a room full of money from around the world.... well yea basically it's all about the money money money Next! We went to Vihara...
