Standing up for yourself!

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim."

It's about standing up for yourself and who are in need!

I am proud to say that I do what's need to be done and I HATE to be told what to do. Talk less and ask from me less, I will do more and give more!

P.S. S-t-r-e-s-s-e-d! For whatever I have gained, I've paid with my health. This year, in 171 days that had passed, I have never been healthy in a week straight. I either woke up with the damn gastric, the headache, or the diarhea. This place cannot be kinder and I can only stand still 'til the very end!

The Ugly Truth

Read the news about how an elderly woman has been mistreated at a nursing home in Singapore.

I don't how can people can do this? I know how working with elderly can be stressful, but if you know you have no patience, you should have just quit! Shameless, heartless, cruel people }=(

What If?

What if in this life you have all the support, but you still can't carry things out?
Do you live for others and keep fighting or be kind to your-selfish-self and give up?

What if in this life you have all the opportunities, but you are left only with your last breath?
Do you spend your last breath Grabbing the opportunities or be a loser and rest in peace?

What if people you love looks at you with the proud eyes, but you are paying with your tears during the days and nights?
Are you more prepared to lose those eyes or your own eyesight?

What if all people believe in you, but only you who don't?
Do you believe in others or you believe in yourself?

Brave Heart Ranger

"I'm not old enough to play baseball or football. I'm not eight yet. My mom told me when you start baseball, you aren't going to be able to run that fast because you had an operation. I told Mom I wouldn't need to run that fast. When I play baseball, I'll just hit them out of the park. Then I'll be able to walk."

- Edward J. McGrath, Jr., "An Exceptional View of Life" quoted in Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen, 1993

Worried and Lost

The truth is:
I am like a flying kite with almost broken string

Am walking the right path, but not walking it right
Many opportunities that I am not exactly grabbing it tight
Many simple things that I am not doing it right
Gosh~ I wish I could tell myself, that everything will be alright.

I am too worried, and lost too~

Doomsday?

It was believed that 2 days ago, May 21, 2011 was the end of the world, the judgement day. Harold Camping spent $100millions to advertise his prediction.

Doesn't he have something better to do? Now, he predicted that he was off by 5 months, so Oct 21 will be the new date of doomsday. We all will die and some of us will be saved, while others left stranded as they are not worth-saving! Ha-Ha

Believe it or not, nothing last! But... there are better ways in living the rest of our life, with all the resources that we have, aren't there?

With $100millions, how many eye sight that you could possibly restored? How many children that you could have sent to school? How many life that you could have possibly saved? How many good causes that you could have possibly supported?

It's just like the importance of appreaciating what we have now than keep dreaming on what we could have had.

Blessed Vesak

In this holy day, do you wanna see something blessed and beautiful?

It's a photo album in an acquaintance's facebook page. The photos are nicely captured. I can really feel them! Calming and simply Beautiful~

Have a blessed Vesak Day, Everyone~

His coffee shop (Nothing like Starbucks!)

We have already being asked this classic questions since we are really young. Starting when we are 5, maybe?

We are all tought to dream big, if we wanna make it big! To be under the spotlight, to be recognized for something we have done, best is if it's done for others.

There are some who just have simple dreams, especially when someone grow older, whether or not they have achived something in life, there is a stage in our life, I believe, we just wish for a rockingchair in our front porch, a colorful small garden in our backyard! Those huge house does not matter anymore, because there will be time when we are too old to climb up the stairs.

I know someone like that, who has had hardly talked about his big dreams, to make difference in people life! He just wants to make peace with people around him, no fancy life, and he only wishes for a coffee shop of his own.

When someone mention about opening a coffee shop, we, young people, might still think about how about making it big! Learn from Starbucks, the coffee legend! For him, it's nothing like that. It's all just about keeping his life busy with something that he loves.

I thought he is so blessed!

9 Ways to Contentment

Share with you something beautiful - take your time to go through each point and make a checklist :)

Health enough to make work a pleasure

Wealth enough to support your needs

Strength enough to battle difficulties and overcome them

Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them

Patience enough to toil until some goods are accomplished

Charity enough to see some goods in your neighbor

Love enough to move you to be useful to others

Faith enough to make real things of God

Hope enough to remove anxious fears concerning future

Second Life

I think this is when someone would say "I've found my life back". This is the story of a man who has a full face transplant.

I have seen a patient who has similar case, less extreme of course. It was not only patient's life that has been changed, but his family too! We, human, might have no power to reverse time to avoid bad accident or illness that ruins life, but when we are given the second chance to live this life, there is an extreme gratefulness to the creators and other humankind who have helped us through during the difficult time. All the little kindness counts!
