Stuck

stuck in a moment of time,
i could see my past playing,
like a never ending movie,
every decision, every choice and every road that i've taken.

places that i shouldn't had been,
lines that i shouldn't had crossed,
i regret it all.

i could see my future dawning,
every pieces of my chess pieces are arranged nicely on the game board,
should i start with the knight or the pawn.
Will i fall into the same trap again,
it all seems the agony that lies ahead are coming,
but with agony there must be joy and victory.

Is this still my own game?
or is it God's?
or is this His game for me, and i'll just have to play it out on His board?
and with His guidance?

i'm stucked in a moment of time.

Vibe

so much hype,
so much vibe,
the glamour of famous stars,
seems so attracting.
from the list of super stars,
to the new down right person on the news,
from the flying stars in the nba,
to the outspoken writers,
what am i to take from it all?
the struggle of where i dream to beand what is reality,
grounds me to the floor,
they found fortune and forsake it for the truth,
what about those who had found the truth and never forsake it?
are they missing out?
are we standing on one side of the fence looking into a lifestyle that we can never understand?
or are we really wishing we are part of it?
let's hold on to the truth and never let go ...
ah, all the vibe and hype.
alas, the rich and the famous.
but in the end, the truth will prevail,
emptiness will either leave or kills ya.

Rita is coming over this weekend ... brace !

howdy again from Aggieland ... where we are taking in evacuees of Hurricane Rita, while at the same time brace for it ourselves ...
this is a crazy new experience for me, i've lived thru tropical storm, but not a hurricane ...
last night my buddy Chris and i went to Reed Arena (On A&M Campus) to help out with the shelter .. and man .. there are a LOT of people, but i am glad that they are now safe in the shelters and let's pray that the storm will not damage too much of the city or cost lives ... ... it was great to see people came out and helped out at the shelters ... i think that's really coool ... and man ... showing love is what we should do ... as human and especially Christian ...
i'll keep y'all updated with the storm ..
let's brace it

Happy to be alive ...

aren't you glad that you are alive?
cuz i am happy to be alive :o)

this week had beeeeeen fun and "heavy" ..
couple things / circumstances had happened in my life,
i won't go into specifics ... but at the reading of His word ... (John 14:1) regarding
trusting in Jesus really really really comforted me. Knowing that He asked me to NOT to be troubled, but trust in Him ... is a way huge lesson ... it doesn't mean that i should sit around and wait for things to happen ... but it's something to learn, to pray, to see open and close doors, to ask, to inquire and to wait ...
i'm working on a page for my teaching notes for homegroup bible study ...
i can post that up on some server soon ...

what if for a moment ... you disappear?

what if for a moment you can disappear or live off the grid, where you still know other people and yet they cannot find or sense you .. will that make difference in your life, will you find out the impact you had make as a human? or would the rest of your friends just move on thinking that you might be in a better place and not care anymore?
i don't know ...
sometimes i felt like the rest of the world really don't care anymore ...
or they might care more or less ... but you don't feel it ...
i don't think i am depress or anything,
i'm just in some deep thoughts.

what if i disappear just for a moment?
what if you disappear just for a moment?
can we meet in that moment then?

i got something to say pt.2

finally .. the international community took some actions into their hands and lend their hands to US at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina .. anyways .. thanks y'all!
for a list of countries that help out .. please see ...

i gotta say something ...

it had been just a week i wrote something on my blog,
this world that we had lived in had been turned upside down (not to mention my personal world too ) ...
well it's unfair to compare my personal world to the world outside because it will seemed like a pity party that i am throwing for myself ..
anyways the disaster in Southeastern US really touched my heart, being situated in South Central Texas, i heard news and see people's reactions to the tragedy in New Orleans. And being a reader to the International News Papers i am dissappointed at the governments around the world. All they do is criticized ... and analyzed saying New Orleans is like the "blackest" city in America and thus it's NOT being prepared for the hurricane instead of pouring out help and support. Where was America after the Tsunami aftermath in countries that we affected? I don't care whether they are the largest muslim country (Indonesia) or largest hindu country (India) we were there to help them, but now as our own country got hit, islamic religion leaders (extreme leaders like people for Al-Qaeda) are calling different negative comments about somehow we deserve this disaster in a sense ... i am furious with comments from the governments that are unsympathethic with this country just because we are the super power,
remember superman will cry too ...
anyways ..
all talk is nothing ..
help the victims if you can ...

thanks!
may God has mercy on us.

Somewhere on I-35

umm, i am not sure if anyone else is reading this blog ... if you are still my reader, then i'll make august the reader appreaciation month .. lol .. j/k anyways,
i am blogging somewhere on the I-35 between Ft.Worth and Waco .. well, precisely in Hillsboro,TX ... a month ago, today i'll be in Hillsboro,OR ... how fast the time had past me by.
Anyways, these few days had been BUSY .. hence a little stressful when i gotta deal with different things in one days, well , i've been driving a lot too ... and honestly, living with 3 other guys is really a NEW experience for me ... i know my roomates and i were joking about living in the "Big Brother House ..." sometimes it kinda felt like that ... when conflicts (even little ones) arose, it's interesting to see how people (including myself) react to the situations .... :o)
anyways, school starts next week, i've already picked out ALL my classes , yay! ..
it won't be a real busy semester ( well .. it seemed so on the paper ... not quite sure yet in the reality .. )
umm ..i haven't read much yet, much of life had been in busy-ness and hanging out with people .. i do kinda miss my alone time in Oregon (when i needed them) ...
well .. i guess i gotta transit back into my life in Texas .. :o)
btw , TEXAS is dead HOT .....

well ... i am enjoying a little bit of break in Star Bucks.

bye

Rain and country music ....

it's another rainy day in texas,
thunderstorms are still my favorite,
it felt way cool to stand in the rain and let the rain drop on me,
just like the song "grace like rain" by todd agnew... about the grace like rain dropping on me and washing away my sins, anyways, that's my favorite part about the rain in south central texas,
other than that, the lightings are always spectecular, trust me, you wouldn't wanna miss a lighting show in texas :o)
while it's getting nice outside, i am inside my favorite coffee shop (coffee station ...) listening to some new Faith Hill's album ... sounded kinda cool ... sounds like she's trying to find her country roots ... hehe ... anyways.
it's good to be back in texas, it had been pretty relaxing for the past couple days, for the next couple days, i'll be in the planning mode for my bible study for next year ... that's gonna be great!

anyways ...
i'll pass on some pics from my drive from Oregon to Texas ..
and by the way,
i love the drive !

Red sunset and blazing thunder storm ...

driving home to Texas was definitely a great, the red sunset and blazing thunderstorms, ah, welcome to Texas. i drove about 12 hrs yesterday from colorado to ft worth, it was great, and i felt that my life had been like that for the past couple years, trying to hurry to get to some place and missed out all other things that were happening around me, so i slow myself , i even took a nap to make sure i am well rested for the drive. It was great meeting up with Chris and Kirk up in Ft. Worth, we talked for a long long time before heading off to bed.
Chris and i drove back to College Station today, and hence we drove thru a thunderstorm from Ft. Worth to Waco, felt like the usual summer days in Texas ... anyways ...
College Station is full of good memories (well some not so good ones either) but anyways, i am back to where i've left off a couple months ago, i guess i'll have to transit back to my life here, though many things seemed unchanged, some things do change ... i guess those changes are good :o) ... anyways.

take care,macster

The Amazing Race - America West ...

alright, i left Portland,OR earlier today and headed for Boise,ID ..
i googled the maps and directions for it .. sounded pretty simple ... about a 500+ miles drive, should take about 6 hrs ... well it actually took me around 7 and 1/2 hrs to get to Boise,
i guess the tough part of the drive were driving through the desert (which was MOST of it) and drive upwards on mountain passes ... mountain passes were way cool, but my car is not made for mountain climbing so that kinda slows me down a little.
i was amazed and amazed again by the nature today ... the mountains in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho were great ... they amazed me, somehow after living in the concrete forrest for a while we kinda forget how great and creative our God is. He puts mountains, sand dunes, rivers, canyon and lakes all together to form a great scenery ... great art work of His. As i drove into Boise, the back drop of the city is one of the mountains, and that looked great :o) ... anyways ...
i also saw some other cool stuff ... like "dry lighting" ... lighting striking the ground in the desert where it wasn't raining ... "half-sized" rain bow .. where the rain bow did not go across the sky but was reflected off one of the "cylinder shaped" clouds (kinda like the one God used to lead Israel outta Egypt .. hehe .. " anyways ...
those are my adventures today ...
keep on be amazed by God ...
keep on praising Him because He is the Beautiful One ...
:o)

... what's next ...
Salt Lake City will be my next destination,
i'll take a tour of the temple of mormon and see what they really think about Christ ...
then i'm off to Cheyenne,WY .. Yeeeeeehaw ... absolutely western cow-town that i can't miss ..
i'll make a stop in Philmont (righ?) NM to visit Stephanie then to Alburquequer,NM for the night before heading to Amarillo,TX
from there it's the home-stretch drive home to College Station,TX

:o)
give thanks to HIM , daily.

~love y'all.

end of a chapter ...

my bags are packed again,
i've concluded the latest chapter in my life -- "Living in Portland : MTV meets Jesus Freak" ...
j/k .. just kidding ...
anyways,
i've concluded my internship up in the Northwest,
and getting ready to go back South. I realise it's going to be a big change,
therefore i am going to take a few days to let things settle in. So, instead of taking the 5 hrs flight back to Houston, i am taking a 36 hrs car ride, sound fun huh?
i've learned quite a bit up here, lots of deep questions had bombarded my mind,
sometimes i just don't wanna think about them and keep my life simple ...
anyways ..
i am going on another journey again,
this time the journey home,
i might not find it the way i left it,
because i've changed,
and i realize other people have also change,
so it's another journey,
another chapter of my life ..
let's call it -- "Living in Aggieland : So far yet so close ..."

macster :o)

High Desert

i spend my time at Oregon's High Desert over the weekends with some friends from church,
it was an interesting experience. Central Oregon is beautiful ... the scenery feels like heaven i would say (well .. no golden streets) but snow-capped mountains, clear streams and rivers, transparent lake, huge canyon, and it's a desert by some chance. It's beautiful, it's definitely a time well spent, though i didn't really really enjoy the watersports because i am "aqua-phobia" i did do some tubing and lots of hiking ( my foot really really hurts right now) ...
it was time well spent ..
pondering on life questions like do i really follow Jesus ? what does it mean to do so?
and do i really believe that i am God's workmanship or am i just some random combination of luck .. yep... tough questions with answers from the basics of my faith yet i still messed those up sometimes.
anyways ... i better start packing for my journey back home,
oh sweet home texas.

Seattle - Black and White











Seattle - Black and White ..

PodCasts

i think i am going to start my own podcast,
there are just so much thoughts that goes thru my mind everyday that weren't being captured anyway. lol , well not really, i did enjoy podcast though .. i subscribe to the PodCast of Kj52 (a cool rapper and ESPN) .. i know i know .. i am just like any other typical guy .. :o)
anyways, i've been reading thru some interesting article that includes second to the last chapter of the book Blue like Jazz by Don Miller and the latest email article from Relevant Magazine ...
again the issue of being real and secure comes up. i mean we are insecure beings aren't we? we want people to love us, like us and agree with us. My community group talked about that the other day, what if Jesus lives among us today? He would not have that insecure feeling because He is totally secure .. that's what we are made .. "secure in God" but the fall had broken the security and now we are trying to regain that "secured" feelings and ended up even more insecured with earthly things etc. So, the conclusion we came to is to be secured in God, and stop defining ourselves from the eyes of others, which is not an easy thing to do, well nothing is easy anyways. We also talked about how a believer should act in a situation where he/she is tempted to lose the "security"... our reactions and perspectives must change .. or else we are no different than anyone else on the planet ...
that's just some deep thoughts from my heart ..

here some other thoughts...
Q : why do we like "feeeeelin'" miserable?
A : so we can relate to the songs on the pop radio ....
HAHAHA
i guess one thing i've learned about myself is i love being miserable,
it felt kinda "sweeet" actually,
maybe that's just some messed up theory,
but think about it,
why does it take so long for someone to go through a breakup,
or get back up from the hole that we fell into?
let's get up y'all,
sometimes we just gotta get pass the point of self-pity / self-hatred ..
and learn to love ourselve...
i gotta learn to love myself. (well andlearn to receive love from others and God)

~daniel
... so about the pop radio ...
some sweeeet songs : Howie Day - Collide (always made me feeeeeeeeel real goood)
Three Doors Down - Let me go (yeah so let me go !.....)
J.M - Beautiful Soul (oh yeah ... another feeel good song)
Relient K- Be my escape (gotta need this one ..)

Texas on my mind

so i was back in Texas for a few days,
and i had a great time :o)
Texas is like home to me, though i did miss my family in m'sia and Taiwan, i miss my other family (a huge one) in texas as well .. ya know what i'm talking about ..
anyways ..
last thursday night, a thunderstorm swept through south central texas and we (jordan,jeff,adri and i)got to see some pretty impressive lightings ... great lightings that again put me in awe of the nature .. i've seen mountains and such up in Oregon, but i do miss storms like that in Texas ..
i guess God never stops amazing us with the wonders from His hands whether it's the nature like the mountains, oceans, lightings and rainbows ... or the way He changes people's mind from totally stray away from Him to trusting Him ... or the miracles that He performed to save the one who love Him or to comfort and show love to His creation .. :o)
so i guess .. next time when you get a chance .. turn off that TV and sit and watch a thunderstorm goes through the town .. or .. go hiking or find a rainbow ..
you'll be amazed , time and time and time by the creation of this wonderful Creator,
and of course, be in awe of Him too.

As my time in Oregon draws to the end,
i did had a great time up here,
friends that i've met and hang out with,
relationships that i've build,
let's just hope that it will last forever ... like my other relationships.

:o)

ahh
and i shall give you some yellow roses of texas ...
(yellow roses = friendship)
(texas = tejas = friendship)
that's right ...

Rainy day

Rainy days are not uncommon up in the northwest,
but today it's pouring down hard,
not that the usual drizzle that annoyed me,
i love the sound of pouring rain,
it's kinda soothing,
kinda romantic,
maybe that's how God says "I love you" to us.
i turned on the radio,
the top 40 station is playing some songs that makes me wanna fall in and out of love,
incomplete is what backstreetboys said,
behind her hazel eyes i bet there's a story,
maybe we don't really know the real kelly clarkson,
ahhh ...
without you all i am going to be is incomplete.
i was watching ER,
seems like everyone is falling back in love,
the summer is here,
the season where lonely hearts blossom,
where will mine be?

i <3 you.

i am tired,
the rain is gonna sing me to sleep.

Weekly Updates ...

woah,
i've been in Portland for about 4 months now,
time really really flies,
most of my buddies are taking trips out to spread the good news,
and i am really glad for them!
anyways,
working as an intern had gone a little harder last week,
i've continued to learn the lesson of communications,
if the communications were not clear,
lots of time and money will be wasted because if a product can't do what it's supposed to do,
it's a waste anyways.
i've heard or really talk to some of y'all lately ...
but i do know that Jay and Beth's baby is due any day now ...
and two couples from our church just got married :-)

anyways ...
Portland had been nice lately,
with the weather in around 50-60s , it's pretty nice,
some days it will get up to the 70-80s and those days are exceptionally gorgeous !
well ...
2 more months then i'll be back in texas ..
i'll definitely miss Portland !

well... on a side note,
i am working a new website called
"Take actions, make a difference"
it's supposed to be a directory of organizations in various places where people
can get involve to SHOW love to the people of this world,
whether it's different ways to send aid to Africa or helping kids in the inner city,
i hope to provide a directory/e-zine for it ..
i'll post more information as i work on the website !

well, if you know some great charity/community service organizations in your area,
please help fill me in ... thanks!

Airport

so i was at the airport this other day pickin up a friend ...
i thought of the song "Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow ...
so i decided to change some of the lyrics of the song ..
msg might still be the same ... this one is about two lovers that missed each other
because of their "flyin" life .. hehe

~dmac

"Airport "

[Guy]
Livin' my life in the airport
Different flight every night outta New York
I ain't seen my buddies for 6 long months
Been livin' on Starbucks and fries.
Wish I had a girl to fly with me
I wonder if I'll ever change my planes
I put your songs in my player
Look down and cried away
I can't stop thinkin' about you while I'm flyin' outta here
I put your picture away,
Look down and cried away
I can't look at you, while I'm flyin' outta here

[Girl]
I called you last time from Paris Texas
Thousand Miles seemed like the distance
But the smile of your face makes me
wants to cry
I been thinkin' bout you for a long time
Time's been gone to homework and life
I ain't heard from you in 6 long months
I try to look for a way
Been thru all the place
I can't try to find you while flyin' outta here
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't try to find you while flyin' outta here

I saw ya yesterday in La Guardia

[Guy]

It was the same old same "where have you been"

[Both]
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

[
Guy]
You reminded me of brighter days

[Girl]
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to France

[Guy]
I was off to Paris Texas

[Both]
I tried to find you for a long time
Can't seem to get you at the right time
I can't understand why we're living on the fly
I found your song today
I promise I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your poem today
I
promise I'll change my ways
I just wrote to say I want you to fly back home
I just called to say, I love you fly back home

Step back to reality ..

the quick trip to seattle was great!
i had a great weekend hanging out with the Johnsons and all the cool people at Seattle Pacific University ..
i've always like seattle, this time i got to visit Pike's Market , and the Northwest Cheese festival. We tasted a few (say 25) kinds of cheese .. that was cool.
i went and saw the 'The Interpreter' by nicole kidman and sean penn, it wasn't a bad movie, it was just not what i had expected it to be ... i also got a chance to watch some HK movies .. 'Internal Affairs' by Andy Lau was a good one, too bad i didn't have time to finish Jeremy's DVD collections that included '2046','New Police Story' and 'Internal Affairs 1,2,3' ... someday i'll somehow watch those movies ..
i've given a future A LOT of thoughts this weekend,
i'll probably spin up a poem for those thoughts later ..
well ..
stressful day at work ... (i am giving myself streesss...)
g'day!

weekend trip to the sleepless city will be my goal,
to get away from here and to get there and relax,
oh seattle here i come,
i love that neatly designed downtown of yours,
it's a place i'll love to visit,
i guess it's a get away from all my worries and dreams,
just to enjoy this moment of fun , joy and friendships,
ah, what a deserving break !

i'm moving on,
i've been stuck in this cycle of life for a while now,
i've decided to move on with my life,
another cup of coffee,
another bad dream to forget,
i am breaking away ....

Passion or Addiction ? Beliefs or Tales ?

so i've been reading this book called Blue like Jazz by Don Miller,
i've read it once and now i am re-reading it for my community groups,
Miller is a funny guy, he wrote mostly about his life and his journey with Christ,
from a quite different perspectives though ...
he posed the question of what do we really believe in?
i mean really what do we really believe in?
are we just believing in something cool that everyone else is doing?
like going to church, especially in the south, it's like a "requirement" of being cool right?
no wonder i came across this term called "Christian Jocks" in a book called Christian Culture Survival Guide ... kinda funny book ... but are we just doing this church thing because it's cool, or as one of my friend puts it, some people goes to church to make themselves feel good ... really? Do we really do that? i hope it's more than that, i hope when we seek God we feel good because of the joy that is set before us, but i don't think going to church seeking to feel good will work all the time because when convictions hit i don't think that feels good ... anyways ...
so what do i believe in?
Generic answer is always , i believe in Christ the mediator between man and God, i believe in God who created everything and is in controlled ... what else ? do i believe in love ? since God is love i better believe in love. how about patience ? fun ? do you believe in fun ? what about compassion, do you believe in compassion ? what about sports? do you believe in sports? what does the Houston Rockets ever done to me that i love them so much ...
i just saw the movie "Fever Pitch" with Andrea in Portland ...
one line really hit me though ... when Drew Barrymore asked Jimmy Fallon what did Red Sox ever done to him that he was willing to be a fanatic for the Red Sox nation ..
i don't know ... what does Aggie football ever done to us .. maybe it's entertainment or "aggie-hood" ... that makes us hate the Longhorns that much? ... i don't know .. just some thoughts that i had ...
then i was listening to a sermon by John Piper (http://www.desiringgod.org) ...
he talked about the book of Romans and book of James and what they all said about saved ONLY by faith, faith that is measured by love ... and how faith w/o works is dead ...
then i caught myself pondering again whether i truly love other people regardless of what they think of me ... it's been hard to love the people when they are so different from you ...
then what is love anyways ... it's abstract ...
what constitute love?
you tell me ...

those are my thoughts for the night ..
and yes here's my play list ...
some people has a lot of passion for nothing ...
that's really sad
some people has a lot of passion for something futile ...
that's even worse

R. Kelly - You saved me ( a great gospel song ... )
Kanye West - Jesus Walks ( i don't think Kanye really really really gets it, but he portraited the struggles vividly)
Eminem - Mocking Bird ( again, a song from a broken heart caused by broken life and circumstacnes ...)
Mat Kearny - Bullet ( "i'll take a bullet for you" , an unconventional rap song ... speaks more truth and life than the rest on the list ...)
KJ-52 - Rise Up ("you can't be the light of the world and ain't shinning ..") interesting song, more of a provoking song about living for Christ than anything else ..
Switchfoot - Love is the movement (love is the resolution ...) plain and simple , love is the resolution ...
Keane - Somewhere only we know (i'm getting old and i need something to rely on ...) a sweet song .. i love the piano /vocal part of this song ...
Gavin DeGraw - I don't wanna be - self-explainatory ...

those are the songs i like ...

blue fusion

she's been gone for a while now,
you seems to be doing fine,
remember the first time when she said it's time to move on,
you were crying yourself to sleep,
yet blessings you can only give,
to her who you think is beautiful,
to him who you think is wonderful,
now it's been two years,
looking back it's still not easy,
you been through other relationships,
yet came out empty handed,
i guess it's still time to move on,
gotta forget what lies behind and just focus on what lies ahead,
it's still a new day to learn how to love,
the love that no one might ever understand,
the love that encompass hurt,
the love that heals a broken heart,
the love that is un-conditional,
ahh,
give yourself another cup of blue fusion,
forget about the sugar and the fuzz,
it's blue yet not really blue ...
let's hope it turns red sometime soon.
