a RoOm for I M P R OV E M E N T...

I believe that every one has his own room for improvement. I do remember before when I was still on my elementary days I was so shy then. Even though I was very exposed to school activities and indeed excels in academic, but still there's that lacking self-confidence in me. Why? Because I was afraid that if I've done something, I would not be able to perform it right. And it would be a great shame not only to me but to my mom as well.

Until I reached high school I started coming out my shell. Joining school activities and trying to be one of the excellent student in the classroom. Then I learned that there's nothing wrong to get mistakes sometimes, because everybody has his own strengths and weaknesses.

My self-confidence is improving as time goes by when I grow up to maturity level of age and thinking. I learned to appreciate more great or small things in this world. I've learned that instead of focusing on your weaknesses, much better to focus more on your strengths.

Beijing Summer Olympics...

Summer Olympics 2008 is held in China, Beijing. What a fantastic opening night ceremony. An excellent job done by the country of china. It was their first time to handle an Olympic game and it's so memorable to them.

The Olympics 2008 were participated by different countries around the world. Like France, Brazil, Poland, Netherlands, Russia, Republic of Georgia, Canada, China, Japan, USA and so many other countries.

I had a great time watching every games. Like gymnastics, fencing, volleyball, basketball and swimming. The Americans got the gold record for swimming especially Michael Phelps who won the 400 IM swimming competition. And also a basketball finals between USA and China. I never thought that all players in basketball were NBA players. Huh! Well, it's an Olympic game all best players will be send to represent their own country. Two NBA players I've known who played were Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. Finally USA won the victory scores 101 versus China's scores 70.

It's beautiful to watch the different countries around the world with peace in their hearts. No wars at all. When i looked at the two players from Russia and the Republic of Georgia they were not affected in the on going war that happened to their countries. Their still kissed and hugged each other after the game.

What a wonderful world if all countries in the world will unite instead of wars.

i always look forward...

I always look forward for a brighter tomorrow. Why? It will make me more value those precious moments/things around me. Even it is great or small, but still it's a blessing.

We may encounter lots of struggles, problems in this earthly life everyday, but that's part of day to day existence in this world. Whether you are rich or poor we will really gonna face it and that is reality. You may say there's difference in facing battles in life. Yes, I agree but still life is full of challenges. And no one is exempted to that. You and I know that we're just living on a temporary borrowed life. Our earthly bodies may gone when we die, because all of us will be going to a dust. But nothing to worry about, if you are sure you have security in Christ you can never go astray. Soon, we will be able to experience the life that He promised the "Everlasting Life" on the day of His coming.

Well, we don't know when that time will gonna happen. But, if you and i are always ready, then there's nothing to worry and to be feared of. Just keep trusting, believing and have faith in Him. Surely all things will be well.

Trust HIS Heart

How can you give a hundred (100%) percent trust in the Lord when you're so down? Can you?

For me yes I can. In my lowest times of life I can really feel His presence, His overflowing love that all should be well and there's nothing to worry about. Though sometime we may feel we're alone, but it's not. There is someone up above watching and ready to take good care of us. He is ever faithful and loyal forever. You will have lack nothing when you keep believing and trusting our creator, GOD.

Indeed God checked my patience and my right motives too in giving my full trust to Him not only when I'm so down but most especially when all things are good.

A FrieNd LovEth at all TiMes...

How many of you believe that a "friend loveth at all times"? Personally, I strongly believe. Why? Because I've experienced it before from one of my considered bestfriends. We have ups and downs in life. Through thick and thin she's there to support me even though our personalities sometimes would clashed with each other. 

I treasured her so much as one of my bestfriends and likewise she does to me. The testing of friendship came at the time when bought of us could no longer bear each other's personalities. Maybe because of the age gap also. She has personalities that I don't like and mine too for her as well. But you know what? She never had stopped loving me as her bestfriend. In other words she never quits.

Our friendship has grown deeper and deeper since then.
I have so many things that I learned from her. To be strong when situations are tough, to be more confident with myself, to love unconditionally, to forgive and to accept things as one of the learning experiences in life.

Thanks to you! Thanks for the gift of friendship.

What makes a MAN more HaPpY & more SaTisFieD?

If you are ask about this question how would you react? What pops up into your mind? Different kinds of thoughts isn't it? Yes, I'm pretty sure.

Maybe you may think if a man have all the things in this world he would be totally happy. Like having wealth, power and fame. Hmmmm... I'm definitely would disagree either.

You may be happy, but not the total complete happiness that you will gonna experience. Why? Because the complete happiness can only be found in Jesus Christ. Even if you own all the things in this earth and not have Jesus Christ as your personal Lord Savior, still life is incomplete and you can never find satisfaction.

Just look around and see the beauty of GOD's creation. How beautifully and wonderfully made by Him.

So what makes a MAN more HaPpY and more SaTisFied? It's the Lord Jesus Christ.

Overcoming fear...

Let me ask you how do you deal with fears? Others will be able to overcome their fears, but others will not. There are kinds of fears in life that man in this world are facing. Like fear of rejection, fear of losing someone or losing a job, fear to be alone and etc.

Absolutely you and I have fears. Like me, I have my own fears. I'm scared of doing things which in the end I can do it anyway, I don't want to be alone especially in the middle of the night up to dawn, Why? Because I'm not used to be alone until such time that I had two years of just being myself without my family. And I've learned a lot from that experienced.

Anyway, I believe that you can overcome your own fears like I did. How to overcome it? Just constantly read GOD's words and always pray that God will gonna take good care of you and He will never leave you. As what Psalm 23:1 says: "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want."
