lastsheetoftoiletpaper

It is just so disappointing when people leave the last sheet of a toilet paper just to escape from the simplest task of putting a new roll. 

Swerte o di maayo?

Joharis Window 3

Today I am going to write those things that I know that others do not know.  These realizations used to be under Joharis Window 4 before.

As of the moment I can only count few of them but surely I will be adding up once my thoughts would alarm me. Lol.

1)     I have Skin Asthma.

2)     I feel like I am being punished when I eat any sour food (i.e orange, fruit juice, etc)   – Window 1?

3)     I have not tried real manicure and pedicure.

4)     I do not like close areas (I suspect I am claustrophobic).

I am willing to open my window 2…go ahead tell me!

Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun

In less than a week I have finished reading a book I received on my birthday.  Title: The Heavenly Man: The Remarkable True Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun by Paul Hattaway and Brother Yun 

I do not know whether I need to write a review of how the book was written or write about the life lived by brother Yun.  I have heard many people say that this is a must-read book.  I just also learned that it was awarded “The Book of the Year 2003”.  Well, the book and the life of Brother Yun are remarkable. 

In the first chapter I was expecting more of an introduction of the many chapters I will be reading.  Light reading.  But to my surprise, it went straight to life of Brother Yun, the family struggle, the persecution and pain.  Yes, you will also feel tormented while reading.

For the next chapters I learned that Brother Yun is physically extraordinary.  He had been imprisoned almost 75% of his life.  He had been beaten and almost died in several occasions.  But with God’s grace, he looks fine on current photos.  God’s grace of provision and healing was always with him. 

Meanwhile, on many chapters it had been mentioned that he memorized chapters of the Bible and have meditated on His word even when he does not carry a Bible.  There is one verse he have memorized that I too suddenly wanted to memorize.  Micah 7:8-9.  I was reminded that if do not know his word, I will have no shield, I will have no armor against the attack of the enemy. 

Brother Yun’s dedication to God, in serving Him and loving Him makes me little.  I am a servant of God yet How I serve and love Him is nothing compared to the suffering Brother Yun has done in bearing the name of Jesus.  As I was reading, I was understanding the people in the Bible more and more. Paul, Job & etc.  The relationship he has with God is very eminent.

I am also amazed at Deling’s faithfulness and compassion for the ministry.  She has more than a wife’s heart.  With all that have happened to Brother Yun and even to her and the children, Deling has stood not because it is her responsibility but because she too has experienced the love of God, she knows what it is like serving God.

I am hoping that many will be moved by his story of life through reading the book.  There are many facets of life that have been mentioned in the book, all of which Brother Yun has victoriously won by abiding in Him.  Discipleship, tithing, obedience, prayer and many more.  May people see how God have held him from the beginning to the end, how He loved him and see what hope we have if we are in Christ.

Anger is from the devil

Dear Blog,

Just minutes ago I was a little offended.  I was asking a permission to talk because I wanted to ask a question.  I was answered “Busy”.  Well, I can see she is.  I saw it in my eyes yet my feelings were a little hurt.  Now that I am fasting, I have restrained myself from Facebook comments.  I cannot post on my wall what I wanted to say at the moment.  I thought of using other networking sites where I can just release the “anger” I had.  But before that I tried to find the best Bible quote to post.  I have a read a few and realized my anger has subsided. Truly His word is powerful.  He knows what we are going through.  He have provided the word even before have asked for it.  I haven’t posted any.  Good thing I surpassed the temptation of posting on my Facebook wall. 

Wanted: International Love/r

I have known people who got stressed and pushy on getting married because they have reached their 30s.  But I have also seen people who are just happily waiting for the right man even if they are beyond their 30s.  I know people who have been in the same relationship for quite a long time  and people who have never opened up for relationship even if they have broken up with their previous relationship months/ years ago.

So, what is being sought right now?  An international love/r.

I am amazed that I have actually registered to these sites for the past months.  I have met a few and have stayed friends with them.  The rest were uninterested and uninteresting.  It is also surprising that there are actually a lot of men who are looking for female species from across the world.  Female international love/r. 

Asian women, specially Filipinos, desire (mostly) the whites due to financial stability, profession, looks, future children with awesome genes and the benefit of being able to move to another country.

On the other hand, Caucasians (and other races) find Filipinas beautiful, home oriented, with manners and submission. (No need to argue with this point, just comment so I can add up your point).

Why?  I may not be able to answer why Caucasians prefer women from Asia but I can surely answer for myself.

I still prefer Filipino guys.  There is not much adjustments to be done.  They smell good and good looking.  We just need to spend time in the getting-to know-you stage.  Get to know his family. 

For other races, even in  Asia, we need to adjust  with their culture, their religion, their way of living and everything about them.  Not so difficult, right?

Filipino men are, as a package, OK to be with.  The problem arises when the guy doesn’t know his responsibilities.  NO WORK.  It doesn’t even matter if never graduated in a university.  A guy should be able to provide the needs of the family.  Only a few are able to do it, unfortunately.  You will find women earning more than men.  Some more, women working for the family instead of the men.  Thanks to unrequited love, women is able to do what men are supposed to do.  What?  Oh yes, it does not make any difference to men from other countries.  The same scenario.

So, why? Why do Asian women prefer white men?  Because white men prefer Asian women.  Opposite attracts maybe.  It is a different market.  Everything about the experience is different. 

There can be many reasons.  What are your reasons?

2 weeks to fast and pray

Dear Blog,

We have 2 weeks to wait for the result whether our client is pleased with our proposal for purchasing service. 

I see this situation as a basis to what will happen next in my life.  I see several options that I think are possible and impossible:-

1)     The company may give grace by placing us to work in a different department.  In that way we will still have jobs.

2)     I can resign and find another job here in Singapore. 

3)     I can go home and apply for a job in Philippines.

4)     I can apply online to work in a different country this time.

5)     Chat until I can find someone who is eligible and meets my standards.

This result will change my life and I am not prepared.  Financially.  I am fine whichever place I will be.  I am just worried that I will not be able to provide the needs of my son. 

Father in heaven, though I have said that I will follow wherever you will lead me, I am honestly worried.  I ask that you take care of everything for me.  Set me to a place where you will use me and my son.  Provide every need and guide us in every decision we will take.  Take our lives in your hand and keep us secured.  Amen
