Movie: Papa Giovanni XXIII (Pope John XXIII: The Pope of Peace)

Last night I watched the movie about Blessed Pope John XXIII in SHPC Room F7 with the rest of the Alpha group. It was a really touching life story of Blessed Papa Giovanni XXIII. He struck me as a man of prayers and peacemaker of God. It really inspires me on the area of prayers and communication with God and men. His most important work which brought renewal to the Catholic Church is the Vatican II council. Thank God for such a wonderful man of God whom He had called to know, love and serve Him as the Pope eventually. The bibliography of Pope John XXIII can be read here. What touches me were his great heart for the people, his humility and his works in world peace (Encyclical Pacem in terris is mentioned in the movie as a part of the outcome of Vatican II council). Do correct me if my info is inaccurate. Thanks!

Here's a youtube clip I found about the movie (practically the only one I could find so far) which I would like to share with you all here.



This is the greatest movie of the year for me!

The Pursuit of Happyness is No Busyness!!

HAPPYNESS vs. BUSYNESS!!

I know it has been a while since I posted an entry... Thanks to CY for reminder! Umm... blame it on heavy workloads all the sudden since Monday. Probably the meeting we had on Monday (in fact it was a one-day course) on PeKA Bio SPM is causing additional stress to an already weakened immune system. I'm currently having muscle aches especially on my shoulders, neck, down the spine and even parts of my abdoment and joints. It is either I'm developing early signs of arthritis or I'm totally stressed out. (I think the latter sounds more relevant though...) Hadn't been sleeping well at night, or shall I say I had been sleeping way passed 1 am since Sunday until now? Thus the "Cindy's like a dead log" syndrome is coming up fast. Sigh! Life eh?

I have sooooooo much to share but I'm currently writing up something which requires two of my brains to work in tune, but apparently after not writing scientific stuffs for almost three years by now, my brain is "crooked". Dang! Trying to understand where was the technical and scientific me while another part of my brain is trying to work out on the PEKA thingy.. This is generally known as multitasking and it doesn't help with focusing at all!! Hmm... According to the latest schedule, the SPM PeKA Head of District Assessor (Ketua Pentaksir Kawasan) will be checking our BIO PeKA in the 3rd week of July, which is 2.5 weeks from now. Well, sad to mention but it is true anyhow that this Bio teacher forgotten that it was June already when she flew off for her school holidays. So now, both teacher and my beloved students would have to work hard together to defend the integrity of school! Kids, sorry!!!

Hence, my toppest priority now is to ensure all my piling up as high as mountain sort of workload is diminished before I can commit to anything else. But my daily dosage of Jesus, the Healer, through Eucharist is still on, every Mon to Fri, 6.30 pm, St. Simon's prayer room. I guess that's practically the only thing I can commit until further notice.

*YAWN* I'm so sleepy. Better finish off with my writeup before it gets a bit too drowsy and blank for my two brains to think harmoniously. Oh craps! Just a little bit more...

I like what Joanne posted on her blog today, especially these two quotes (Joanne, pinjam ah!):

Tomorrow is the only day in the year that appeals to a lazy man.
~ Jimmy Lyons ~

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
~ Jules Renard ~

Probably because they are so me!! Yeah, sometimes laziness gets a bit out of hand with myself. Hmm... thus I need more of self-control (check out Galatians 5:22-23 on the fruits of the Holy Spirit)!

P/S: I want to watch the Pursuit of Happyness again. Anyone has the downloaded movie? Please contact me.

Pax et bonum.

Sunrise in 2 hours

Yeah, in another 2 hours plus KK will see sunrise again. Will there be rainbow later? Oh shucks! I have a course on Pentaksiran PEKA BIO to attend in KWSP. Dang! Time to turn in.

Alright, I'm having muscle aches all over. Blame it on the silly weather and the boredom this weekend. But I'm happier now, since I had entertained my cravings for JUNKS - ate large KFC mashed potato (plus a dash of mixed herbs) for late dinner and a few OREOs for late night supper. Sugar rush! LOL!

I'm glad my blog is finally transformed after a year of the same template... Please do give opinions on what to improve. Less widgets, faster loading I supposed... Geez... I still miss my Feedjit world map!!! -_-

Ahh... Now I know...

That carbs work wonders for my depressive system...

That low calories food don't do me good...

That KFC mashed potato tastes nicer if add in a dash of mixed herbs...

That non-involvement in ministry can be good and bad at the same time...

That twittering doesn't make much sense yet...

That ministry doesn't need sister CG...

That the author (yours truly) is probably not at the same wavelength as many sisters...

That life isn't about working and marking exam papers only...

That the sea is the passion for yours truly...

That the air quality in KK is getting worse by day (thanks to the heat and burning)...

That none of the above has any hard feelings...

God bless and have a blessed night before Monday blue sets in.

Brand New Look

Alright, finally after few hours of critical illness on my blog template, here's the latest new look for my blog. Lovely, colourful, sunshine and rainbow... Now I feel much better. Phew!

When I get well from my silly cough, the first thing to do is to treat myself with some real good cheese cake and a cuppa mocha... Maybe not mocha... Ice-blended black forest with lots of whipped cream and chocolate chips from Coffee Bean will be nice! Or even a good meal of junks (BK/McD/KFC) will be great. Hehe! I have enough of wholemeal bread with tuna mayonaise or sardine fried with onions with rice! Sigh!!! Ahh... I'm even thinking of Korean food in Bintulu Restaurant or Grace Court in Sembulan... My goodness! I'm actually craving for spicy food! No wonder.

Looks good eh? Yummy too...

SOB

I made a mistake and lost of all my widgets!!! Now I have to spend more time trying to figure out how to personalise my once-personalised blog! I feel so depressed all the sudden! Dang!

Time for a Change

It's been almost a year since I started this blog and it is high time for a new look. It takes courage to change, but without change, there won't be improvement.
