msn nicknames explained

many have asked me about some of the msn nicknames i used before. i think some have misled others into impressions not that of the message i was actually trying to convey. haha. i LOVE such nicknames - those that spark off curiosity in other people's minds. here goes:

[ alabar al seƱor ]
Latin/Spanish: to PRAISE the GENTLEMAN
this is the title of a song by one of my favorite christian bands: Salvador. anyone looking for an alternative feel to praise and worhship should consider getting one of their cds. haha. as a band they're tight and they have some really funky grooves to learn from.

[itsumo sasaete kureru hito-tachi ni...honto arigatou]
Japanese: for the people who always hold me up...thanks, really.
This is a verse in the 2nd closing song of the Bleach anime series, "Thank You!"by Home Made Kazoku. that verse is self-explanatory. i think a word of thanks is the single most effective way to express our gratitude and appreciation to others who have helped and held you through thick and thin. so, this goes to you, my friends!
p/s: this reflection actually came about on my birthday.

[..have i ever not loved you?..]
i must say that this phrase has attracted the most attention. =)
the most common feedback that i received is one which thinks that i'm in some sort of relationship problem. how fun entertaining all my friends' queries!
actually, the phrase is not meant to come from me, but it is actually from the perspective of God, our Heavenly Father. today, there still exist people who deny the very existence of God. Man sinned against God the very moment Adam ate the apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, disobeying God's command to him. Yet, He so willingly sent His only son Jesus to die on the cross for us, paying on behalf of us the price of sin, which is death, once and for all. God is like the father waiting for his lost child to return ho him, arms ever wide open to receive his son. we are that child. A reminder that His love is everlasting and free.

[..after 3 days and 3 nights..]
this came about right before the start of BT1. on one hand, it's just to say that all's over after that duration...the time that i'll have to completely focus on study and make the most of every second. pass that hurdle and i'll be on my way to a short holiday. break free from any form of work and do the things i enjoy that i seldom get to do.
on another note, 3 days(days include nights as well) is the also the time taken before Jesus was resurrected from the dead. 3 days after being crucified on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead, having conquered death, and then ascended to heaven. All this was done for the freedom of man from sin.
