2010 - My New Year ReSoLuTIoN!

BaLaNceD LiFe

Every new year should start with a decent resolution, no? Well, whether we achieve the resolutions is something people normally reflect at year end..hahaha. Anyway this is just for fun (to be taken with a pinch of salt!)

1) I will not bore my boss by with the same excuse for taking medical leave. I will think up new ones.

2) I will do less laundry and use more deodorant. Conserve water & energy..

3) I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly.... nyek, nyek, nyek!

My Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

Dongzhi Festival

The Dōngzhì Festival or Winter Solstice Festival (Chinese: 冬至; "The Extreme of Winter") is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the Dongzhi solar term (winter solstice) on or around December 22 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest.

Birthdays...

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. - Lucille Ball

Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. - Jack Benny

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age. - Robert Frost

Chuckles...

The Sabbath School Teacher asked, "Now, Johnny, tell me frankly, do you say prayers before eating?" "No, sir," Johnny replies, "I don't have to. My mom is a good cook!"

The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel microphone, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"

Most Meaningful Moment In A Marriage...


"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart."
-Hellen Keller


I truly agree with the quote by Hellen - certain things in life is best left unsaid, but to be felt with the heart. For then can we truly appreciate and be appreciated....

When the World says "Give Up", Hope Whispers "Try One More Time"

Don't know what's going on with me these days.. I am so irritated with things and people around me.. I don't know why.. maybe becoz I don't take things as lightly and easily as I used to.. may be their so careless attitude irritates me.. but why.. I don't know..

I am not a perfect person and I don't seek for perfection outside my world either.. everyday I have a story to share about how so and so behaved today.. these days I am so bugged up.. life is lovely..work is fine.. enough sunshine and smiles in life.. still.. somewhere, something is wrong.. something is missing.. can't say what..

RefreShiNG Brew...My LoVe AffAiR

Coffee has two virtues: it is wet and warm....
I like mine - hot, strong & steamy..

Lots to smile about

As Christmas and another year’s end are drawing near, I reflect upon the events that I experienced this year. Take a breather amidst the days’ flurry and count the things worth celebrating...

I DREAMT that I went to heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

Habits of successful people….

1. They look for and find opportunities where others see nothing.

2. They find a lesson while others only see a problem.

3. They are solution focused.

4. They consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them. They have the ability to lead others. Highly successful people have that charisma of leading others and getting tasks easily done by other people. They understand every member of their team and know how to carry them along.

Philosophies of Life

NEVER LET SOMEONE BECOME A PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE...
WHEN YOU ARE JUST AN OPTION FOR THEM...

NEVER CRY FOR ANY RELATION IN LIFE
BECAUSE FOR THE ONE WHOM YOU CRY
DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR TEARS
AND THE ONE WHO DESERVES
WILL NEVER LET YOU CRY...

Difference Between Gifts & Presents

Many of us tend to use the two words interchangeably in most contexts. Of the two, present is the more informal. The two words are used with things given to other people without expectation of return or compensation. It is not uncommon to hear people say, I gave him a gift/present on his birthday. Both the sentences are grammatically acceptable. Careful users of the language make a distinction between the two words. A Gift tends to be much more valuable than a present. It usually passes from the rich to the poor, from the high to the low. A present, on the other hand, passes between equals or from the inferior to the superior.

What Is Gratitude?

Gratitude is a feeling of thankfulness for blessings or benefits we have received. Grateful people are quick to acknowledge the kindness and help they receive from our Heavenly Father and others around them.

Where there is gratitude, there is courtesy; there is a concern for the happiness and well-being of others.

A grateful heart is the beginning of greatness. Gratitude builds humility as we recognize an act of kindness, service, or caring from someone else. True gratitude is a foundation for faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being. Being grateful leads us to look outside ourselves and turn to the bestower of the blessings.
