Day Out + Femininity [ 11:44:00 pm ]

Today's been fun-filled for me, and I'm so glad there's still two more days before this weekend closes. :)

Anyway, I've not been to a gaming cafe twice in a same week before..but I did this time, and to the same one! Went out with my ex-classmates from poly for dinner & games at the Minds cafe along Purvis Street that I visited with Willy Joe & co. on Sun evening. I like the atmosphere there, and today was just hilarious.

It's been some time since the whole group of us last met..and surprise, surprise..because one of them kept telling me I look like a little girl (laughs out loud). It's in a good way, though..I guess it's my hair or my (pint, hopefully) size. I'm surprised because it's been a while since I hear that from a friend. There're times when I worry about going too fast like with my friends who are still studying or just started out working, I always seem to have the label of a "busy (working) woman" and there are times I want to say that it's not always the case.

I think there may be more who're feeling the same as me too. I find myself in a "not a girl, not yet a woman" point of time in my life. Yes, go ahead and sing that Britney tune, ladies. :)

I believe being a woman, yes..it is a choice that every female has to make. A woman holds more responsibilities, is more sensible and mature and discerning..but in every woman, therein will always lie a girl. It's a wonderful thing to be a woman. I'm beginning to embrace that more. I used to think that word befits a thirty-something more than it does to me as a younger person. How wrong was I. I'm starting to see that in every woman's heart, there'll always be a place for her to freely be a girl and show her girlish side. I've seen that in my mother a few times, it made her really beautiful. :)

I'm going to allow myself to enjoy the process of being made into a woman. :)

Talking about femininity here, I would like to end my post with what came to my mind during our women's meeting in Rina's place earlier on today:

They say there is a young lady who is beloved of that Great Being who made and rules the world. They say that He fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight, and that she hardly cares for anything except to meditate on Him. If you present all the world to her, with the richest of its treasures, she disregards it. She is unmindful of any pain or affliction. She has a singular purity in her affections. You could not persuade her to compromise her true Love even if you would give her all the world. She possesses a wonderful sweetness, calmness and kindness to those around her. She will sometimes go from place to place, singing sweetly. She seems to always be full of joy and pleasure, and no one knows exactly why. She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have Someone invisible always conversing with her.

I love this whole chunk so much, I had it pasted to one of the first few pages of my bible. I had read it aloud every single morning some time back, confessing and acknowledging. I think I must get back to doing so again, I want to be such a woman too.
