Life is... Love is.... Wonders of My Mind.

The titles were the three old blogspot blogs which I've closed down. I'm supposed to either sleep or write my dissertation, I know, but I'm doing neither right now. Back to the blogs.. I sort of read through what I wrote, especially about the past pseudo relationship I had with this one guy some years ago back in 2005/06. I thank God that we didn't work out though I was very hurt back then. What I wrote was absolutely idiotic! What in the world was I thinking????!!! Thank God nothing really happened between us. I guess everyone went through the period when we go gaga over some unworthy individuals who treated us like thrash. Ok, maybe not everyone. Some end up marrying them and be unhappy spouse. Some chose to divorce them. Some stayed because they have no where to go. As for me, I thank God I'm where I am right now. It'd have been crazy if God didn't intervene. I met Jesus right before I told myself I had enough and slowly though painfully, we drifted away from each other. I'll wait for the him to appear. By then, probably I'll know and I guess he'll know too if we are meant to build a life together. For now, my own journey continues. Yeah, live the life of a dreamy wanderer, running after the God who aligns my desires to His mission for me :)

Three Weddings

This is the wedding post!! I've done a couple of wedding posts previously, about a friend's wedding, marriage proposal, wedding bouquets, and wedding montage! And some other related wedding posts which don't seem relevant here. Oh well, I don't even know whose wedding montage it was. Should be something I grabbed from Youtube because my friend shared it with us back then when she was prepping her wedding.

Let's see, I've been asked on when I would be back since early this year because this year seems to be a season to be married or to start a new relationship!! Haha. Minus me of course. Let's see, I missed at least three weddings, or maybe four (or five?) since September 2012 when I flew off to UK. I got three unofficial wedding invitations right now waiting for me to decide if I can make it... I have Amy's wedding on 31 Aug in KL, Sharon's wedding reception on 21 Sep in Singapore and Jess/Ray's wedding on 28 Sep in KK. At least I have successfully attended ONE wedding - Gosia/Tomek's wedding in Tarnow, Poland (Photo below).

Ohhh... I'm so excited for all of you!!! I wish I could be nearer to share the fun of prepping, and help to de-stress the bride-to-be. But God is in control of my life, and yours. So, chillax when you get cranky with all these details you have to face.

There might be fear, worries of tomorrow, and family pressure. Just be YOU, dears. You gonna do alright. What matters most is the moment when you walk down the aisle and knowing you're going to marry the right man. Whatever else, dump it aside. So, the best thing to do is to spend tonnes of time with the utimate GUY up there. God will open doors He has planned for you, and He will close those which are not good. So, since God has opened the door for both you and your him, He will make sure you walk down the aisle, dazzling with joy.

One thing which many brides overlooked is caring for your skin prior to your weddings. You may be on diet, working out, learning up your first dance, choosing the right music for wedding reception and mass, dress-fitting, guest list and table arrangement, flowers, manicure, pre-wedding photo shooting, wedding gifts, house decoration, renovation of your parents' houses, beddings, honeymoons, shoes, etc. You name it, and it is there! But one biggie you might miss out is REST. Yes, a pretty bride is a bride whose complexion is good, so that the makeup (which will be thicker) will be one with your face, and not like a "V for Vendetta" mask. So, get lots of sleep and beauty treatment. Over-caring for skin may not be a good thing, so DON'T sleep with your hydration mask on. If you do have some extra cash, go to a beautician, get advice and do monthly treatment. There are still around two months for you to get all that done. And oh... Bring the groom-to-be for skin treatment too. They are as stressed out as you are. So a proper massage or a facial won't kill their masculinity!

Remember, you DO have a maid of honor, and your family to fall back to. So don't be shy to get them to help you with things. I know we, girls, want this special (extra special) day to be extremely perfect. My married friends would say, no matter how you tried, it'll never  be perfect. And they would laugh at all the hiccups during the wedding. But just be sure you don't get Patrick Demsey-ish version of MoH or you might end up a runaway bride.

Married Couples Should Grow Old Together

I'm ever so touched by UP!! Someone shared this video on Facebook, and I think it is good that this can go onto my blog too...


This is the kind of married life one would desire to have, or at least, for me - the one where both grow old together, hang onto each other even in the darkest times, form dreams together, yet achieve personal growth in his and her own spaces, support each other no matter what, being each other's best friend. Till death do us part.

Yeah, I want someone whom I can grow old with, not some random Mr. A, B or C who would come, break my heart, and leave. Haha. My dream is to marry someone who can be my best friend... Haha!

Walking the Talk

These days I've been reading an interesting blog while dealing with the mounting dissertation stress which freezes me completely. It's an interesting read as I find him a mirror image of me. This is for the first time in my life that I'm acknowledging that there's a person out there who's the male version of Cindy. I feel it when I read the criteria of his future spouse. I have my own version which is so similar to his that I felt spooky reading it, unable to believe that this could be true. So I'm not crazy setting such criteria for my future spouse :) That's a comfort definitely.

I posted a comment to him that a heart that seeks God is never a lonely heart... and I'd rather be a fool for God than to end up with broken marriage or a wrong guy beside me by praying for my him. Indeed, these few days I've started my prayers for a godly husband once again after a few years of abandoning the hope of ever getting one, despite my doubt if I would ever find my him. In the depths of doubts, I choose to hold on to Him even when I can't feel him.

I'd need to walk the talk of godliness. For every criterion I have for my future spouse, I too should be able to fulfill the criterion myself. My first criterion is a man after God's own heart. So, the first thing to do on my part is to seek God once again. This morning, I hope I could appreciate Jesus the way Kari Jobe sang "What Love is This" and my relationship with Jesus can once again flourish. Indeed, of all the things in the world, I'd rather be a fool for Christ for it brings joy to my life.

Boyfriends on Sales in Shopping Mall

In conjunction with the recent Valentine's Day and my conversation with a friend on FB, hence the post.

Many people may think that I'm attached to some guy out there, and even if I tried to explain in lengthy details that I am NOT attached but AM very single, nobody ever really believed me. Perhaps that explains why no man ever approaches me romantically for fear for hearing, "Sorry, I'm not interested." or "Sorry, I have a boyfriend." from me. This is funny, but it is true that males do have issues with the word "NO" most of the times. However, I also have to admit that females also have the similar issue with the word "NO".

Back to my topic of the day. My friend was telling me to go and find a boyfriend, which leads me to think and review my life as a single, working young adult. Throughout my teenage years and these few years working, of course I have met some interesting male characters who stayed in my life for a while as a faithful male companion, and I did take interest in them at that time. However, somehow, it didn't work out. The recent male companion decided to go abroad rather suddenly, and now I'm in the mode of waiting until the end of March.

Many people think it is important to have a relationship and then move on to marriage, etc. Well, I think so, too, no matter how strong from outside I look like. However, another thing which I love and find it important at this moment, is to be really single and embrace singlehood properly before being in a relationship. This is probably my weakest link at the moment, but I am learning to embrace singlehood and enjoying every moment of being single.

As for being available for relationship, I have to admit sincerely that I would like to be truly available, but I'm not exactly there yet. But if the right man comes and approaches me, I trust that the Holy Spirit will stir me from within and a sense of peace and security will come unto us to trust each other and to want to know each other deeper and better.

As for now, I truly believe that I have to be complete in Christ Jesus. I desire to be complete in Him and I pray my future spouse will also be a man after God's own heart who is also complete in Christ. When there is a secure relationship independently with God, two persons will be drawn nearer to each other. That's the concept. And I believe that the "he" who really is interested in me will approach me when it is the right time.

As for the boyfriends on sale in shopping mall theory, I guess I don't quite get it. I trust that boyfriend/spouse is a gift from God and I have to know the Giver properly and completely before I can enjoy the gift without turning my back against the Giver. Like what struck me in today's first reading:

"But if your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you let yourself be drawn into worshiping other gods and serving them, I tell you today, you will most certainly perish; you will not live for long in the country which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess."
~ Deuteronomy 30:17-18 ~

It is important that we know our God and set our hearts on this God who loves us so much that He sent His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to save us by death on the cross. If we are not cautious about this and we don't take heed from the Word of God, we will end up worshiping the very gifts that God gives to us in order to fulfill His plan in our lives. Then the good plan will take a longer time to be fulfilled and our lives may probably have more disastrous issues than we want. So we must always remember God in all that we do, and put Him first in our hearts. One of my favourite verses is:

"Take delight in the Lord alone, and He will give the desires of your heart."
~ Psalm 37:4 ~

Yet, we must also remember that God, in His mercy and by His grace, knows what we need most and will give us what we desire and is good for us, but not what we desire which is bad for us. He definitely will be in terror if we ask for a person whom He knows will be abusive to us in future. Or we ask for a car which He knows will eventually cause a terrible accident and maim us for life. No father on earth would do that, so our Father in heaven will even more not do that. Therefore, we must first learn to find delight in Him first and allow Him to take His time to give us what's the "bestest" for us!

So, come what may!

How Does It Feel?

As I was browsing FB photos and reading blog updates (I do have a few blogs which I check regularly), I started wondering how an individual dating someone public would feel. "Someone public" includes celebrity (locally/internationally known), pastor/church leader, politician... (the list can be rather endless, anyway, so I shall end it before I get too long-winded!)

Just some questions that popped into my mind...

• Will it be easy to always have the relationship be in the limelight of the public?
• Will it be easy to see the boy/girlfriend always working alongside with the opposite gender?
• Will it be easy to have a committed relationship where most of the time the public one has no time for the other?
• Will there be doubts on the social circle of the opposite gender?
• Will the partner be ever secure of the commitment level of the public one?
• Will it be awkward being stared at when they go out on a date in public place?
• Will they actually have time to date?
  

Well, it just dawns to me that it seems difficult to date somebody who is a public figure. It really will train a person to practise 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 forever... Is it possible? Ok, with God it is possible, but we're mere mortals who fall.

So what say you?

When 2009 Bade Goodbye and 2010 Said Hi!

My testimonial is dated 31 December 2009, Thursday, 18:05 @ Secret Recipe, 1Borneo. I wrote on the only piece of paper that I could find since my journal was left at home.

"This is the last day of year 2009. To recount what had happened in my life, it'll be an exhausting task, and with the limitation of paper now, I wouldn't want to waste by recounting every single event. There were ups and downs, so much of sorrows and joys in the whole year, so much of realization and painful times. But indeed, it is the year of the Lord. Nothing but God could have brought me through the events that happened. Letting go of ministry leadership, realizing that God has a better task fo me, ending the whole "hoping" process of a friend, getting help from Life Coach to sort out my life, to learn to love again, to have met a really sweet person, my dad's death, starting the sisters CG finally...

Only God could have led me through the darkest nights of my soul. When I felt totally lost, abandoned and rejected, He brought me people who strengthened my innermost being. Not only that, He brought me angels who love me for who I am, never letting me go and keep on praying for me when things were harsh and I became neurotic, cranky and all. When I was broken, He came straight to me, held my hand and led me straight to the wooden bench under the tree where He would cradle me and loved me with His gaze and His Word. He will always tell me He loves me and will be with me when things are tough and I seem to be not able to go on. He never lets me down. I love Him so much not because of the gifts He has showered me or the things He has done for me. I love Him because He loves me. Yes, just because He loves me to the ends of the earth. And I'm secure in this love relationship that will last forever because He promised me that, and I know He never breaks His promise.

Again and again I was tested into unbelief and into the world of doubts which brought darkness into my life. But, again and again He made things real enough so that I can come out from the world of unbelief into the world of truth - sanctified truth. And because of this, I'm set free from my chains of lies and untruths. God really made all things possible and He's continuing this project to transform me to be the wonderful woman He wants me to be, whether I like it or not.

I cherish every moment of my life with Him in it, because that part of my life becomes unexceptionally special. That is really a magical moment when He leaves His footprints in that path of mine. More often than not, I could not understand and I was blinded by tough times that His grace was not the thing I saw. Yet, very often, in fact, every time, when I sit back and looked through my journals to see my struggles with life in life, He was there, so obviously present. And that's when I sobbed real hard because I could contain no more the grace He has poured out into my wretched life!

Who am I that He should move mountains and empty the ocean for me! I'm His beloved. In His eyes, I'm flawless. And I, in moments of gratitude for Him and love from Him, am softened and I know I'm glowing in love because I'm secure and I've finally found the One who makes me feel complete."


I'm just an ordinary girl who has an extraordinary God who loves her completely and unreservingly. And I hope you, who has found Him waiting for you and accepted His love, also finds hope in Him who loves you abundantly, even when things are difficult and many important decisions to be made. And you who are still searching for Him and finding that the burdens of the world are bringing you further and further into the swirling darkness, I pray you'll meet Him by first letting down your guards about Him.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Love

I just watched an old movie from my collection of original VCDs - Artificial Intelligence: AI. What really struck me this time was the great yearning of the robot boy, David, for love of his mother, Monica. He was made to love. Like us, isn't it? We are all created to love...

What I saw in this movie this time is in fact the great yearning of mankind - to love and be loved. Who doesn't want to be loved and to love freely, without calculating the cost and effect of true and deep love? Who wouldn't want to embrace love when it comes knocking at your door? There are people who choose not to love for the fear of abandonment, rejection and a haunting past. What about you?

In the bible, St. Paul wrote about the Gift of Love in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

The first three words of 1 Corinthians 13:8 is LOVE NEVER ENDS.

David (the AI boy) persevered till he finally met the Blue Fairy and made his request after being frozen in the ice for 2000 years. His love for Monica never ends. We may not have 2000 years to live, neither are we able to wait for 2000 years to make the request, but we can choose to live by faith in love with Jesus as our Saviour right now, at this moment. Though it is never easy to live out the love St. Paul wrote about, we can always try. Jesus is our very core example of real love, and out of His love for us, He died on the cross for us. So why can't we, for once, try to love and take the risk of being loved too? Indeed, He has given us a never-ending love, so we must also love unceasingly, even when things becomes harsh and difficult and dark. Remember, love bears, believes, hopes and endures all things.

May the year 2010 be the year of true love revealed in all our lives. God bless!

It's Time... Timely... Timeless...

Time. Whenever I think of this word, I think of endless "busyness" that kept us from being love. We often say, "I have no time" and "I'm busy at the moment". How much time a day have you stopped, reflected, and perhaps just breathed in the air to experience life? A busy life kept us from thinking, probably helped us from facing some difficult moments in certain areas of our lives. But are we living at present time? Are we living in God's time for us? Do we have time for Him? Even if it means sacrificing five minutes from whatever things we do?

Timely. Sometimes we say, "Oh, the promotion was timely". Sometimes we exclaimed, "How timely you come!" When is the right moment that is "timely" for you to meet God? Have you ever pondered whether God has been exclaiming the same thing over and over again whenever we meet Him in prayers, "Oh great! How timely you've started talking to Me! I've always been waiting!!"

Timeless. Sometimes we hear that what-and-what is absolutely timeless. For me, the only relationship on earth that is timeless is my relationship with Jesus. He stays faithful for eternity. What does that mean? His faithfulness is timeless. No matter how long it takes for us to turn from where we are to face Him, finally, He remains there, waiting for us with open arms. And what is that all about? That His love for us lasts for eternity, and it's timeless.

So, what I can do is to link these three words into a sentence -- It's a timely time to have a timeless relationship with a loving God who is waiting for us to return Home to His embrace.

Have a blessed Sunday. God bless and good night, my dear readers.

Ephesians 5:19

The readings for today are taken from Proverbs 9:1-6; Psalm 34; Ephesians 5:15-20 and John 6:51-58.

What struck me most this weekend is from the second reading, Ephesians 5:19-20...

"As you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (New Revised Standard Version)

"Sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs among yourselves, singing and chanting to the Lord in your hearts, always and everywhere giving thanks to God who is our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (New Jerusalem Bible)

These two versions are similar, yet to me, a bit different... From what I understand of verse 19, there are two roles we have to play when it comes to worship... First one, in community, we have to always remember to sing songs inspired by God (spiritual songs) and hymns and psalms, a.k.a. Praise & Worship session... Second part, when we're alone, when we're not with our community, we still have to remember to sing to our Lord in our hearts... This act of worship doesn't stop when we leave our community gatherings. Instead, this act of worship goes on and on until we meet again during the next gathering...

Most churches, including our Catholic church, have prayer meetings, community gatherings, Life Nites (specially for Lifeline and Lifeteen)... Once a week. So what do we do from the P&W session of that week until the next week?

Yes, we worship the Lord with songs and melody in our hearts... But how? Make it a point to at least do one of the things listed here, or more: Listening to scripture-based, or God-inspired worship/praise songs more than listening to worldly music, pray daily, do daily readings (Catholic church we have a set of daily readings, other denominations may follow some other weekly devotions), attending daily masses, praying the rosary... and so many other ways where we can worship God in our daily lives.

As for me, I set aside 30 minutes a day to attend daily mass, as my daily walk with Christ. Through the Eucharis, I have received numerous healings and forgiveness. And I know the Real Presence of Jesus is in the Eucharist... It is not merely symbolic, but He is indeed truly present in the Eucharist. And as you progress with your walk with Jesus, you'll realise how insatiable He is.

Like what Mary said in Luke 1:46-48,
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant..."

Indeed, God is worth all our proclaimation of His goodness and especially, His Salvation, because He came down and saved us all even when we're sinners. He loves us all so much that He who has no sins died for our sins.

I thank God for everything, and in everything, I would like to encourage you all to make worship a lifestyle.

Have a great week ahead. God bless!

The Power of Love

Happy and blessed Easter to all of you!!! Today's topic is the Power of Love. What kind of love will I be discussing? What did the Archbishop say during his homily on Easter Vigil? Well, the love I'll be discussing is the scandalous love of Jesus for mankind. The kind of love that brought Him death, and death is not enough, but death on the cross. That's the most shameful way to die during the Roman empire.

Look at this image I found via Google search. The caption is "If you get wet, you'll get sick." I guess the Lord knows this much better than any of us, especially the getting wet, getting sick part. He chose to come down and live as man on earth. He knew of His mission of being on earth, living and preaching and dying. He knows He will suffer this death in order to grant us mercy. Knowing He'll go through all these, He still came. Knowing He'll be executed by dying on the cross, He still stayed at where He was, asking God to take the chalice away from Him. When God did not answer Him, Jesus stayed to face the death. How courageous is our Lord!!!

By His death, we receive life. By His grace, we receive love. Bishop, in his homily, started with a question: "What is the core value of our faith? What do we believe in?" Simple words, we believe in the power of love, and that's what the whole Triduum we had celebrated last week is all about -- Jesus' love that conquers sin and death.

In life, we often stop and ponder the same question: What's my eyes searching for? Where will my journey lead me to? What am I doing on earth? And Bishop's explanation is that people (everybody, including those we read in New Testament) is constantly searching for something. The Samaritan woman? The lame man at the pool? They are looking for something, but nothing can fill up that thirst they have, because that thirst is the thirst for the love of God. In the first reading last night from Genesis, man was created in the image of God, thus man will always thirst for God's love. Nothing can satisfy that thirst until we come to search for God. A quote from St. Augustine speaks of this: "Our hearts are made for you, O God, and they shall never rest until they rest in You." Bishop said that although we're constantly seeking for God, God is also searching for us in order to give us His love. He is also making that journey to seek us to offer us the love. The act of Jesus dying on the cross for mankind shows that God goes all out to give us the love.

One thing that made me pondered after mass was about our baptism. I wasn't baptised on Easter Vigil that time, but when Bishop directed the points specially for those who will be baptised, I felt touched by the hands of God. He mentioned that when we're baptised, the transformation occurs so that we can be changed and be the children of God. He specifically mentioned about the reading from the gospel of St. Mark about the resurrection of Christ. When the women went to the tomb, they did not find Jesus. Instead, they found a young man dressed in white robe sitting on the stone. He told the women to pass the message to the disciples so that they will go to Galilee, where Jesus will be there to wait for them. This event happened on the first day of the week, and Jesus has resurrected on that day. Thus, in our modernised concept, what I would summarise of Bishop's statement is that the beginning of new life for those who believe in Christ is the day after baptism where we're raised from the death with Jesus.

The second point of the Gospel passage was about the young man in white robe. Remember a young man who was following Jesus after He was arrested by the guards? The man who ran away naked when the guards seized him? This was the same young man dressed in white robe at the entrance of the tomb. This young man came back. So, the question is this: WHO IS HE? Bishop's explanation is that this young man is the newly baptised Christians. Before baptised, we run away from Jesus (just like how the young man ran away from Jesus) but now he's back and he believes in Christ. He has a message for all his disciples to meet Jesus in Galillee. The Lord had ever said that He will gather His disciples in Galillee and the mission to spread the good news started there. And so, us, as baptised Christians, we have already encountered Jesus and be transformed. And if we have been transformed, then we must begin to preach and bring this message to others.

We will have the faith if we have experience the love of God. How do we express our faith to God? My first thought when Bishop asked was "trust in God". But when he gave the answer, I begin to realize that I do experience what he said. Bishop said "GRATITUDE" has to be experienced if we want to know if we have that faith. All the love of God, after we experience it, will generate a feeling of thankfulness. And if we, at that point of time, have yet to feel thankful, we must then pray for transformation to change our heart of stone into heart of flesh. He cited the example of St. Paul (Saul of Tarsus) and how he had written about his gratitude to God when he felt like giving up. God said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weaknesses..." (2 Corinthians 12:9) Indeed, it was because of that grace of God towards Paul that we have so many wise epistles and letters written by the intelligent apostle St. Paul.

Am I still making sense after such a long post, my dears? Last point of reflection whenever we renew our baptismal vows as a renewal of our faith is this: Are we at the tomb dressed in white robe? Are we thankful to God or not?

I am glad, I am thankful. Though I'm not perfect and never will be, I'm thankful He is with me.

Happy Easter once again. God bless.

Lilo & Stitch (2002)

This is one of the lovely animation movie which I like a lot. Re-watched it just now over pasta dinner. My best loved image is this:

Even a "created" creature learns to love and care, even when got persecuted and disliked. I pray I can be more of Stitch each day. Are you loving enough today? If not, love more tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day

Mathematics of Love

Only God knows the useful approach in the mathematics of LOVE.

~ 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a ~
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious of boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.


Who Loves You More?

God loves us more than anyone on earth. Rejoice for God loves you so much!

~ John 3:16 ~
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.


Love is a Decision, not Emotion

What is our decision today? To love God or love the world?

~ Psalm 43:3 ~
O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.

May this Valentine's Day be a special time for you and God because He first loved us even before we love Him, so He, our ultimate Lover, deserves the best time with us.

Choose God, choose life, choose love.

Happy Valentine's Day, my love!

Hollow Man

Is this person showing love or asking for love?
Is it a full heart or an empty heart?
How do we know if our heart is empty and hollow, or full of love?
Are we hollow men or loving men?

Jesus is never hollow, He's always full of love...
Filled with compassion and moved with the movement of the Holy Spirit...

Are you?
Am I?
Should we?

Yes, we should.

Why?

Because the day we chose to be the Soldiers of Christ, it is our way of life.

Amen to the God who saves!
Amen to the Christ who died and resurrected for us!
Amen to the Holy Spirit who resides in our hearts!
Amen to all who believe!

God Bless.

Pax et Bonum.

Reflection: Psalm 139: 13-14

Do you know God loves us? Do you accept His love? Do you love Him? Do you want to be loved by Him? Do you accept Him? Do you allow Him in your life? Reflect upon it... Seeking God is a journey of a lifetime. Make that decision to start NOW! God Bless!

Love Phobia (도마뱀)

I watched a korean movie just now on an online movie website, which I think is a beautiful love story and I'd like to share with you all some of the images I searched online. It reminded me of a korean guy who had created some beautiful memories with me some years back. There wasn't anything between us, and now we've lost contact totally, yet, the memories of this guy was pure and untainted. You can read some info on the movie by clicking at the link to IMDb --> Domabaem (2006).

P/S: I know I probably will never get to contact this korean guy again in my life, but I thank God for giving me this part of my life, because it was truly a beautiful memory that brings smiles to my face everytime I remember him. I know he doesn't know of my blog, but I'd still like to take this opportunity to thank him for the memories he had given me, plus the two korean books he gave me as a farewell gift.

What's The Secret to Happiness?

I got this from a friend via SMS long time ago...

I found the answer in my house.
The wall says be strong,
the ceiling says aim high,
the door says be open,
the window says learn to give and take,
the clock says time is gold,
the calendar says love everyday as if it were last,
the cabinet says keep in order,
the bed says take time to relax,
the lamp says be the light,
and GOD, who is found everywhere in my house says,
"KEEP THE FAITH BECAUSE I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS!"

A Pleasant Surprise

Today I went out to meet a friend for a drink. She is one of the most pleasant ladies you'd ever meet, always so smiley, so hugable, so friendly, so real. A few weeks back, she told me she was praying about going to India for a period of time. Her heart's desire. God heard her loud and clear, and praise God, He gave her green light to take off. Blessings poured upon her desire, her righteous one I'd say, and today, she broke the news that she's flying off on 1st November. The day right after my birthday...

In fact, this news came as a pleasant surprise for me, though I know this day would come that her desire be granted. Thank God for His blessings upon her. I had mixed feelings for a while... A part of me being so happy for her, a part of me feels sad because my friend is leaving and only God knows when she will be coming back. But I thank God for giving me the chance to know her, to share with her my sorrows, and for such a wonderful angel He has created in her. When I'm experiencing disappointing and dejecting situation, she had been there, lending me a shoulder to cry on, exhorting me and consoling me, and often offers me Watson's pocket tissue (the so-called softest tissue you can find in the market, good for wiping off tears...). She taught me how to love myself and accept myself better.

Like what is the title of my blog, time flees, love stays. I know our friendship doesn't end just as she flies off, but it will be there always.

Dot, thanks a lot for everything. Have a safe and wonderful and eventful journey to India! God bless and be with you always. Love you lots! ^___________^
