My heart's secret...

King Kong - it's all about love~
It was love that made Carl Denham (Jack Black) do what he did and never gave up, not even when his unprocessed films were exposed. He still managed to bring his dream to the audience in the theater.
It was love for self that Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) accepted the cast to earn a living for survival.
It was love for a woman that Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) had the bravery to fight all course to save his love. He risked it all and continued to search with only hope that Ann would still be alive.
And it was love that King Kong wanted. His emptiness and loneliness was filled when Ann became part of his life. Because of love, he protected her from anything that threatened her life. And he stormed the city in search of his love despite all obstacles.
I watched this 3-hour movie and all I see is love. Love is so powerful that builds one or tears one apart. It brings you smiles and flames you to anger. Love keeps people hoping and believing...
So as the bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:13, "So these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the best one of these is love."

First Christmas... in Studeo
Christmas is...
Each Christmas, we exchange gifts among ourselves. Let me share with you, another gift exchange I experienced in my life. It was so unbalanced that it is hard to believe. This exchange transpired when I first believed and accepted the fact that Jesus had died for my sins. I gave him my sins, and He gave me His goodness and forgiveness. I gave Him my disobedience, and He gave me eternal life with the Father. I gave Him my greedy selfish nature, and He gave me His life's bloodshed on the cross, in excruciating pain.
How totally unbalanced is that? I got everything wonderful and gave him my bag of sinful garbage. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that God took the sinless Christ and poured our sins into Him. Then, in exchange, he poured God's goodness into us.

Promise?
What's a promise when you don't mean it at all?
What's a promise if it's just a lie?
What's a promise when you can't deliver?

You - to me...
Wednesday, November 30
I love You, Lord
that taught me to love...
Not only to love those around me
whom I care...
but also to love my enemies
and to bless them.
At these quiet times,
I reflect the peace and joy
and it lights the fire in my spirit
to sing Your psalms and
give You praise and worship You.
Lord, I thank You for the Cross.
Thank You, Lord Jesus for bearing the crucifixion...
for my sins, sicknesses, shame and unrighteousness
that now, I can lift up my head
and say,
Thank You Lord!

I’ll find a way to say that I love YOU
Everything may change
And the world may pass away
I’ll still love YOU

Turning Heads...
Yep! That’s the reason girls dress up and make up.
It’s the sheer pleasure that
when you walk pass the schools of men,
their eyes follow you.
And as you walk further,
their heads turn!
You are irresistible!
One of the few days she lunch out, so she went today…
She has turned heads!
Mission accomplished!

LOVE is all we need...
What does LOVE mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and
paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all
the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
- Rebecca, age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
- Billy, age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
cologne and they go out and smell each other."
- Karl, age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your
French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
- Chrissy, age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
- Terri, age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a
sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
- Danny, age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy
and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss."
- Emily, age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop
opening presents and listen."
- Bobby, age 7
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a
friend whom you hate."
- Nikka, age 6
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday."
- Noelle, age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well."
- Tommy, age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I
looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and
smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
- Cindy, age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night."
- Clare, age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
- Elaine, age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he
is handsomer than Robert Redford."
- Chris, age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day."
- Mary Ann, age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
- Lauren, age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you."
- Karen, age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think
it's gross.
- Mark, age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a lot.
People forget."
- Jessica, age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was
an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing
the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard,climbed onto his lap, and just sat here. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
When there is nothing left but love, that is when you find out that
love is all you need.

10 things God will never ask...
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
2. God won't ask the square footage of your house; He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet; He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4. God won't ask what your highest salary was; He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5. God won't ask what your job title was; He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7. God won't ask in what neighbourhood you lived; He'll ask how you treated your neighbours.
8. God won't ask about the colour of your skin; He'll ask about the content of your character.
9. God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
10. God won't ask how many people you forwarded this to; He'll ask if you were ashamed to pass it on to your friends.
Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God!

The Irony of Life...
- just heard this song... and it sparks me... life is ironic!
She (He) knows when I'm lonesome, she (he) cries when I'm sad
She (He) is up in the good times, she (he) is down in the bad
And whenever I'm discouraged, she (he) knows just what to do
But girl (boy), she (he) doesn't know about you
I can tell her (him) troubles, she (he) makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses, not to hold her (him) at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her (him) things I want to do
But girl (boy), how can I tell her (him) about you?
How can I tell her (him) about you?
Girl (Boy), please tell me what to do
Everything seems right, whenever I'm with you
So girl (boy), won't you tell me, how to tell her (him) about you
How can I tell her (him) I don't miss her (him), whenever I'm away?
How can I say it's you I think of, every single night and day?
And when is it easy, telling someone we're through?
Ah girl (boy), help me tell her (him) about you
How can I tell her (him) about you?
Girl (Boy), please tell me what to do
Everything seems right, whenever I'm with you
So girl (boy), won't you tell me, how to tell her (him) about you

A Story of Possession...
Isn’t it irony, sometimes, you just can’t have the things you want.
If you dare…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
Maybe you need to bargain or coax her a little while. Then, she agrees to let you have the item, seeing you like it so much. And you get your item and the buyer gets the money and search for another piece.
Alternatively...
The buyer pays for the piece and turn around, ready to leave. Suddenly, her eyes caught something attractive at a corner. She walks over to have a look at the item. A thought strikes her.
“Why didn’t I notice this piece earlier?”
She likes the item very much. She then checks the price.
“Oh, I don’t have enough to buy this piece.”
So, she just leave with the piece she has already paid for.
Or…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
And she says, ‘No.” Probably being possessive, although she likes the other piece better.
So, you look around hoping to find another item that suits you.
Another ending…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
As she has also fallen for another piece in the boutique, she says, “OK.” Then, both of you go home happily with your items.
You go home, try it on, wear it a few times then feel it doesn’t suit you anymore. Then, you leave it aside, probably throw it away on later days. And you are back on search for new clothes.
Yet another ending…
You see the buyer with that item you fell in love with. You approach the buyer; ask if she is willing to give it up for you.
As she has also fallen for another piece in the boutique, she says, “OK.” Then, both of you go home happily with your items.
You go home, try it on. And you can't stop showing off the item on your body. Years later, you realise you still have that item and still wearing it whenever you have the chance. You’ve found it!
Feel free to add your versions…

Gym: A Need or A Fad?
I’d say 50-50, but leaning more towards the fashion trend.
To get that Barbie figure, to get Angelina Jolie’s toned legs,
to get Jennifer Aniston’s toned arms… etc.
Well, I have that in mind too.
Gym is my option to stay healthy and IN SHAPE!
*wink*wink*
It’s just every girl’s dreams to turn heads,
drooling over them.
Who doesn’t want attention?
Even the guys do!
Otherwise, why’s the hard working out to get those
abs, chest, arms, legs and what not...
Going to the gym has become a fashion statement.
And here I am, joining the pool of fashion victims!
And it’s self-satisfaction… or else,
why pay so much for the membership
*wink*

down again...
Have been in pain for 2 days...
Headache and back-ache
and I thought I've forgotten these kind of pain!
But it was so bad, i barely could sleep last night.
But when I woke up,
first thing came to mind was WORK!
I just can't get enough of work...
The doctor said,
I need more rest.
Don't stress myself, then pimples will not be so bad.
And change my eating habit...
As stiffnecked as I am,
I don't rest,
and I'm blogging now...
My back is killing me, need to lie down.
Will write more when I'm feeling better...

Am I blur or what?
Went to Greenlane McD’s for dinner.
After a sumptuous dinner…
Why sumptuous?
Because I didn’t eat anything the whole day.
Was just too busy with work.
And dinner was the first solid thing that went into my body =P
Anyway, after dinner...
Thought I left it on the table.
But NO!
Scavenged my bag.
NOT there too.
In a flash, I thought…
I must have left it in the car…
Don’t remember locking the car.
So, we hurry to the car.
And there it was!
Still in its position.
I just got out of the car,
slammed the door shut
and charged for my dinner.
Maybe I was just too engrossed to eat
or I was just stressed,
too many things in mind.
But we had a brief laugh.
And he was worried about me.
And I know…
I am loved!

Happiness Is A Daily Decision by Andrew Matthews
Happiness doesn’t just happen to you, like some “accident”. It is something you choose.I was recently chatting on radio in Cleveland, Ohio, with a lady called Rena. Rena said to me, “I just got divorced, I am currently being sued, my house just burned down and now my doctors tell me that my cancer has returned for the third time.” But she said, “You know, amongst all this, I am happy!” Rena was saying, “You don’t find happiness in the absence of problems, you find it in spite of your problems!” You choose it.If you wake up saying, “I hope I have a good day, and then I'll be happy”, you never will be.
IN A NUTSHELL
You make the choice to be happy first. Happiness is a daily decision.

Is it human nature...?
Thursday, August 11
Human touch…
We hear about people suffering in other parts of the country and it becomes our conversation. How many actually imagine themselves there at that place? How much torture it is to be there!
Yesterday, we just brought up the 9/11 incident. Just listening to their conversation gives me the creeps. I shivered as I thought of those “little” people on TV jumping off the building. What if that person is someone dear to me? What if I am that person and everyone else on earth is watching me plunge from WTC?
Have you ever thought of that? - That your last day on earth might just be the next hour or creepier, the next second. I just pray that when I breathe my last, I’m on my way to heaven. Otherwise, thinking of going the opposite way is even more fearful!
We never know what will happen next, not even the next second. You can be laughing now with your boss over a joke, the next second, you are screwed so badly you don’t even remember you have shared that laughter.
Anyway, I’m glad we are working so close in the CW (Conceptual Writing) Department. So far, we have been able to solve work-related issue diplomatically. It’s a good workplace that can make you want to grow with the company.
I’m sure I’ve found the place I want to grow with. Although I’m still thinking of getting that paper (degree!), I’m starting to think of my long-term commitment with SG.
Back to the subject – my point is, human are becoming so insensitive. They care so much about themselves and do nothing for the betterment of other people – even as near as a neighbour needing help. Some people just shut their doors despite listening violent arguments and breaking objects. Have they ever thought that someone might be killed during the heated argument? Oh, well… it might be a domestic husband-and-wife having a row. But you’ll never know what one-second-mistake can do to two human’s lives. One dead – either in heaven or hell, and the other – in jail. But then again, it’s not your problem if one is dead and the other is jailed, no harm to you right? Imagine it’s one of your family members or loved ones.
Don’t take things for granted. Your concern and care may change someone’s life for better. Never stop offering help, you don’t know how much miracles your little can do. Never stop giving advice, you don’t know how encouraging your advice can be.
Re-examine your humane self. It’s somewhere deep inside your heart. God created man in His own image. I’m sure God created us with some attributes He has – caring, gentle, gracious etc. But man are contaminated in this tainted world.
I believe there is “beauty” in every one of us. No matter how bad or notorious we can be, there is a soft side that we ought to discover.

The Island - a promise?
Genesis 2:7
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
From the beginning of humankind, God was the Creator of heaven and earth. How can man take over God’s place? For example, the surgeons function to operate surgeries. Now after so many generations, the veterinarians decide they can operate human body after working with animals for decades.
You understand what I’m saying? Sometimes, it’s just about being who we are and continuing what we do. Humble ourselves and know that there are experts who have done it since the BEGINNING. We are in no position to play smart and outsmart God.
Just look at man’s creations… Automobiles have killed thousands and thousands in collision since its introduction in the 19th century. Whatever man created never lasted long and worse, some brought undesirable effects. I define man's creation as DESTRUCTION.
Every action was supported by good-natured “motives”. As years passed, we’ll start to see truth from the Book of Revelation unveil itself. It’s beyond just cloning – there’s the micro-chip implant on animals (which gradually will be implanted on man). First, there was Dolly the Sheep. Now, Koreans are cloning dogs. What lies in the future? Except man’s dreams to play God. And when we see man is putting on the shirt with a huge label of PRIDE, they will soon be clothed with a nice shirt with a huge label of FALL.
Genesis 11:4–8
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
Humble ourselves and know that God is a gracious God. He only confused the builders. He didn’t strike them. See how merciful God is and His love for all humankind was proven when He sent His Son to the Cross for the final sacrifice.
As I’m busy pursuing my dream (at work), I miss God’s presence. I know deep in my heart God is the one who brought me through storms and floods. I felt an overwhelming need to humble myself and submit to Him who has pulled me out from drowning.
I love you, Lord!

Psalm 139
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me,"
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Your Rising Sign
... is Aquarius |
You are an interesting mix of introspective and outlandish. Waving your freak flag high, you really do things your own way. While you may seem distant, you care very deeply for humanity. You just have no tolerance for fools, slackers, or dullards. And while you're fairly misanthropic, many are drawn to you. Innovative and clever, people look to you for new ideas and trends. |
Should I? Should I not?

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |

Empty promises...
you just can't trust them.
Put your hope on
MAN
and it will be crushed.
Great disappointment will befall
because man are
self-centered in nature.
They remember
how much they've given.
But forget how much
they've received.
Cast all your burden and
trust to God,
who never despises you.
God is the same
today, yesterday and forevermore.
He never breaks His promises.
I thank the Lord
for sending my honey
who has been standing by my side
giving me all the support
he can offer.
There's nothing more to
ask for.
I'm glad I have at least
ONE PERSON
who believes in me
and keeps his promises
