Money

Some people says that money is the root of all evil...

Seriously saying, u think so? i don't think so.. it should be rephrased as

The LOVE of money is the root of evil.

Money is a neutral thing.. it depends on how the user uses it. if it is used for something good, then yeah, money is good. and of course vice-versa la.. but in the race towards getting a comfortable life, many forgot an important rule. the rule that many people uses now is this:

Love money, use people.

But the long lost rule is supposed to be

Use money, and love people.

In the effort to provide ourselves with all the materialistic things, always think of those who are in need... the poor, the afflicted. maybe we can't help much, maybe we want to help but we don't know where to go. there are some simple things that we can do. like pray for them, and give a bit of donation (make sure u are not conned). U might wonder how much can we change their lives with just 1 or 2 ringgit, but it does change their lives for the better....

We doesn't need supernatural powers to do supernatural things.

God Is Good

God is Good,
All the time,
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine,
God is Good,
All the time,
Through the darkest night,
His light will shine,
God is Good, God is Good
All the time.

Lecture of Lamoism

Hi, back for Lecture of Lamoism (LOL) 2. This time it's another question and answer.. and this idea came from Evie Weevie, the Dean of Bachelor of Bimboism (BOB).

Q: Why is the mosquito better than the fly????
Think Think Think

























































































A:Because the mosquito can fly and the fly can't mosquito.

Thanks for paying attention to my lecture.

Generativity Vs Stagnation

Erik Erikson, a famous psychologist created a 8-stage of Psychosocial Development, which covers one's whole life span. The second last stage which is Generativity Vs Stagnation, usually happens when some one is about in their fifties. this is the time where they would want to transfer all their knowledge to the young ones. thus comes the word generativity, to generate more good youngsters.

recently, i feel sort of reaching this level.. haha.. although i am not old yet, but i do feel it because i am transfering my knowledge about serving to the young ones. for those who don't know, servers are those little kids helping the priest during the mass. I don't know whether other Christian dominations have it, but Catholics all over the world do have this ministry.

SO, back to my generativity, y do i feel this feeling? maybe my life span is not that long, and i am going to die soon?? ahahahahah... i don't know la.. but it kinds of feel good... when u know u are helping a few people to grow. when u transfer your knowledge, u know that u have done your bit in their lives. and that's how i feel.. i feel good..

Hopefully SFA's Altar Servers Ministry will be always good... hahaha..

Ha ha ha.. Hilarious Day

Today was hilarious.. i teman this person to take bus la... and before that, we need to go to block E to change her tutorial.. and this is what happened

She: If she is not here, i am going to cry
Me: Really? haha..

then we searched for her and she isn't there. so i asked one of the people there lo..

Me: Excuse me, can i know where can i find Stephanie?
Person in Charge: She sits here,(pointing to the left) but she went out for lunch, she will be coming back soon.. cause she went out for 45 minutes already.
Me: cry la cry la.. hahaha XD
She: woo woo woo..
Person in charge: u wait for a while la.. she will be back soon..
Me: She needs to go back to Penang
Person in Charge: Then i give u a piece of paper and u write down la.. i will pass it to her. (pass a piece of paper to her)
She: Faster constrct a sentence for me.. i don't know how to write it so that she can understand.. (amazingly, it is at this time where she took the paper and start fan-ing me) hahahaha
Me: *Thinking deeply and enjoying the fan-ing*
She: Faster la..
Person in Charge: Don't BULLY him la.. XD
Me: Heard that or not... don't bully me.. hahahaha XD
Person in Charge: Y don't u just write down your number and i ask her to call u.. then u can talk to her straight..

She writes down her number and we left...

So we went to the train station, and she was holding her ticket. then the train arrives and she dropped her ticket.. (seriously saying, me tak tau how she can drop it into the train track, it just happened) hahahaha... and then, she was thinking how to go out of the station without her ticket.. then she thought of using Touch & Go. Great idea, then went off at KL Sentral, go to the exit counter and the card can't operate.

Oh oh... this following part is hilarious.. hahaha

Then we went to the customer service to say the card can't use lo.. hopefully to avoid paying the extra money for the lost ticket.. haha.. so the officer there took her card and asked

Officer: Dari mana?
She: KL Sentral

........................ i'll let u guys have some time of peace now.. think of it... wa hahahahahahahaha hahahahaahaha XD.. we are in KL Sentral and she says she's from KL Sentral.. XD

Officer: Sini KL Sentral
She: Oh oh, dari Bangsar XD

we laughed like crap, a bit embarrassed also.. hahaha

Then we go our separate ways from there.. hahaha

If u are reading this then, thanks for brightening up my day... memorable day indeed. XD.. hahaha

Peace

Today while i was on my way to church, (it's Ascension, the day Lord Jesus is taken up into Heaven) i felt something that i have been missing for quite some time. and that is peace. when i was in the car, suddenly everything around me became so clear... so sharp, that even the leaves on the trees looks so beautiful. the street lights look so fabulous and the night is so peaceful and serene. how many of us really look at the nature and wonder at it's magnificence?

Maybe it's because of the rain, that made it look so serene. all things looks so nice and perfect.. one thing i lack.. that is someone who i can share this peace with..

For those who are not at peace with themselves...

May the Peace of the Lord be with you. Peace be with you.

Visualisation/ Imagination

Harlo..

Well in this blog, i would explain who can make u feel good about yourself.. and guess what the answer is?? YOU

y do i say so? well because u can control your emotions to a certain level. but before that, how do i know that as humans, we can control our own emotions to a certain limit?

i read an article in The Star about dynamic meditation.. in simple terms it's visualisation la.. and this psychologist by the name of Dr. Aretoula Fullam said:

"Research has shown that whether you are objectively experiencing something or imagining something, the same part of the brain is activated. So the brain in the other words, does not know the difference between the real and the imagined. It just follows your instructions, and starts working on manifesting that thing that you want. And this is how improvements occur."

(cited from The Star, 9 MAY 2007)

So you can say that, in a way, our brain is quite dumb.. because it can't differentiates between what is real and imaginary. haha... but the good thing is, you can make it to your advantage and change yourself for the better. visualise yourself to be happy, and yeah u can be happy.. if u have headache, then maybe you can imagine yourself relaxing beside the beach.. and eventually u will heal..

no guarantees though.. i don't mean that if u have cancer, u can heal yourself like this.. but in terms of stress, then yes.. to a large extend, you can control it. please do not hold me for any wrongs ya.. hahaha.. well give it a try.. no harm right?

God Bless..

The Golden Rule to Failure

Is to please everyone.. don't get it?? let me repeat..

THE GOLDEN RULE TO FAILURE IS TO PLEASE EVERYONE.

Get it? well by now u might be wondering.. huh? isn't it good to please everyone? well before i get into that, i would like to share how i found this quote. i was in secondary school and my school is filled with all these inspirational (sorry if i misspelt it) quotes. While coming out from the school disciplinary room, i came across the quote above.. and i thought to myself too.. huh? y is pleasing everyone bad? and y is it the golden rule to failure?

so at first, i scoffed at it and said it's bullshit.. but as time passes, i realize that it is true. it is quite impossible to try and please everyone at the same time. of course it's good to please everyone, but there's a limit.. do not be a pleasa-holic till you lose your self identity. keep that in mind.

now unless you are living in a fairy tale world, you can't really please everybody.. i'll give an example to illustrate this

a friend's birthday is coming.. and you bought a present for him/her.. another friend of yours whom the birthday has passed gets jealous.. y? because he/she did not get any present from you.. well of course you don't mean to treat them unfairly.. maybe you forgotten, or maybe you are busy or maybe you just didn't buy for whatever reason it might be.. you don't mean bad to that person, but u have hurt him/her. so it's not really that u MEAN to hurt, but incidents like this just happens.

get the picture now? so sometimes, it happens indirectly.. it isn't really possible to satisfy everyone's needs, well unless you have the ability to read minds. See how the principle applies now? so in situations like this, what do u do? well stand firm on your ground. but of course, i don't mean that u cut off your friendship, just don't don't lose your self identity in the process of pleasing people.. people like people for who they are, and not because they are please-holics.

another very very bad situation is to get stuck in a middle of a battle where both parties are your loved ones. example, a husband stuck in between his mother and his wife's argument. both are his loved ones. who do he defends, who do he take sides? one party is saying the other party's bad things, which really sucks.. in situations like this, what do you do? well, unfortunately, i don't have an answer for that. looks like you just have to go through it and experience it for yourselves to find the solutions. haha.

Compliments

Compliments.. good thing or bad? well it depends on the receiving end actually to intepret it.. for example..

A: Hey man, u look great today
B: Thank you (but at the end of his mind, he might be thinking "so what? so i am not looking great every other day?")

Well that's a typical misunderstanding which occurs. i don't say everybody thinks that way, but some do.. y can't people just take the compliment with an open arms?

so for those who are receiving compliments, please do appreciate it and don't think too much about it. sometimes they might not mean what they say, but can u actually change anything by thinking negatively?

Potato (Story with moral)

erm.. this is my first posting on stories with morals... next time, when i would post more stories, i would just put the title, bracket story
e.g potato(story)

to cut short it and save myself some time.. hahaha.. all these stories are what i have heard and not created.. so i would cite as well as i can in order to avoid plagiarism..

so here goes the first story

A teacher wanted to teach her students about a moral lesson.. so she told them to bring a bag of potatoes for tomorrow's class.. tomorrow came, and every student in her class brought a bag of potatoes... and the teacher said.. " i want you all to be bringing the same bag of potatoes for another 1 week"

and so a week passed and finally the teacher ask the students to bring out the potatoes that they had been carrying for a week. the teacher asked "so, how do you feel, carrying the same potatoes for a week?"

the students started to grumble and complain..

"it was sooo heavy"

"it was smelly and uneasy carrying it along"

along with other complaints as well.. and so the teacher said

"this is how you would feel if you have hatred and anger in your heart.

your heart will feel heavy, and in time, it will turn smelly, just like the potatoes.

it would be an uneasy task to carry it along because it would feel so heavy and it does not bring you any good. That is what I am trying to teach you guys.. about FORGIVENESS.

when you forgive someone, you let go of the bad feelings that is tying you down.

You feel free, light and happy.."

But of course, lets face it.. to forgive someone is not as easy as throwing the potatoes away.. it needs the courage to realize that you have been hurt and would continue being hurt in the future. it definitely is a veeeeeeery tough thing to do... i don't claim that i can do it.. everyone's struggling including myself.. but the only person who can make a change is none other than YOURSELF... if you think you can do it.. then you would try, and succeed. If you start by saying you can't forgive him/her, you already failed because the process of forgiveness didn't even started.

"Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

Luke6:37

So, go out and start forgiving.. start to live a life where you are not tied down to hatred and anger..

The story was told during Youth Parish Renewal(YRE) in my parish.

Have a nice day

God Bless

Worries..

today, i am flooded by worries.. about what??

worries about my relationship.. specifically boy-girl relationship.. about am i ready for it? about the communication between the both of us.. about can the relationship last? about am i suitable for her? about everything..

while i was coming back today, by train, i saw a man who trolleyed a baby in. for the reast of my journey, i looked at the baby.. about how great a love could be that it can produce such a wonderful baby.. can i do that?

we are constantly flooded with worries in our life.. and when worries do come, what do we do? turn to the Lord.. or at least i do..

So to all who are constantly worrying about something, here are some Bible excerpts for you

"This is why I tell you not to be worried about food and drink for yourself, or about clothes for your body. Is not life more important than food and is not the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow, they do not harvest and do not store food in their barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than birds?

Matthew6:25-26

"Which of you can add a day to his life by worrying about it?"

Matthew6:27

""Set your heart first on the kingdom and justice of God and all these things will also be given to you. Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."

Matthew6:33-34

Who can add another day into our lives by worrying?? so so true.. so stop worrying and start living..
