things that money can't buy. @ 10/31/2007 11:49:00 PM

it's e-learning week this week.
having a little break=)
depending on red bulls for survival during the day, for the whole of last week.
yeah! and my regulars are like complaining about my blog updates.

soooooo!!! HERE AM I FOR SOME UPDATES!!!!
topic for today: things that money can't buy.

this topic really caused me to ponder a bit=)
though during exam period, this is a frequent question that's asked many many time in the composition component of the paper.
but now, come to think of it.
i asked myself this question "what are the things that money can't buy" again.

1. money can't buy me happiness=)
2. money can't buy me love.
as in real love from people, not BGR that i'm talking about. - for example, parental love.
3. money can't buy my friends.
4. money can't buy me experience.
5. money can't buy me time.

oftenly, people around me will hear me saying, "i'm contented with what i have."
so let me ask you this question, " are you contented with what you have?"
--> to me, being happy is to accept and be happy with what you have. and often than not, i always receive comments like, "you're out of control!" yeah. the out of control meant, i can laugh non-stop or laugh for the little things. being joyful and happy is me. isn't it, my friends? haha=)

money can't buy me love. isn't it true? imagine you forcing a person down the throat and asked the person to love you. will the person really love you form the bottom of the person's heart?
--> because i have the greatest love of all, Christ. and of course i have love that comes deep within from lifelinkers, darlings, dears and etc.
--> people let me share with you this! if your are observant enough, i wore a t-shirt that has these words printed on them before=)
here i go, 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

probably there are cases of "friend" tagging onto a person just because that the person is rich.
--> oh well, this is not a friend at all. friend is someone that is willing to go through thick and thin, happy and sorrow together with you. there's a saying that goes, "a friend is a person who likes you for what you are and who you are. in spite of all your faults and all your shortcomings."

experience = the process or fact of personally observing, encountering, or undergoing something.
--> so how is it possible for you to buy experience for yourself. maybe you can pay a sum of money to hear other's experience. but still it's not experience. because you are just absorbing what others had encounter into your brain and trying to force yourself to remember it. it's different from you personally be in it and experience and have the feel yourself.

lastly time, how to buy time for yourself when God only gave us 24 hours a day and 7 days in a week?
--> no time is always my excuse for not doing certain things. but dad always told me off by saying, " it not that you have no time, it's time management darling." so i've trying hard to embrace good time management. yeah, though unforseen circumstances occur at times. but time management and calm mind is still needed=)

my apologies if my entry is naggy.
oh well, i just have the urge to share about this=Ppp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
message to jia: yeah, my friend leeping is working at cineleisure's diva=) she said she saw you too=D

mesage to evan: that's my purpose of having a blog=) to make the truth known and share it with whoever that yet to know about it=Ppp

abandon site? @ 10/19/2007 11:38:00 PM

gooooood eveeeeening everybody=)
please accept my apologies alright.
not that my blog is an abandon site.
just that time don't allow me to pen down my thoughts and etc.

ever since school started, without fail...
reached home around 2000 plus.
ate dinner.
took a shower.
computer's on --> working on group work, projects, tutorials.
discussions on upcoming events.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween is for devil worshipers.
alright. i shall post an entry about halloween.
it's because my dear friends.
hmmm. we're always "absorb" to fun things.
and the long waiting halloween party is coming.
last year, all of us were like talking about it.
and this year. we're going to put words into action.

eee. that's the brief idea behind the celebration of halloween.
oh well. start of the whole idea of halloween;

History of halloween.
halloween is celebrated on October 31. let me cut the story short.

1. halloween = the eve of all hallows' or what's known as all saints day. it's celebrated on the last night of October. In the old celtic celandar the year began on the November 1, so the last evening of October was the night of all the witches, which the Church transformed into the eve of all saints.

2. halloween = a night for witches. Another pagan holiday given a cursory baptism and sent on its way. (cursory = going rapidly over something, without noticing details; hasty; superficial )

3. observed especially by children in costumes who solicit treats, often by threatening minor pranks. ( solicit = To seek to obtain by persuasion, entreaty, or formal application)

4. the ancient gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

ATTENTION TO MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
i'm just plain lazy upon repeating myself that's why i post an entry about this=)
hoping it will also be an answer to whoever=Ppp

by now, you guys should know my character yeah=)
with such interesting pary of fun coming up.
i'll definately announce to the whole community that i'm in.
innocently, i thought celebrating halloween is alright.
but after telling my pastor, daddy.
and research shows.
so. i'm not suppose to celebrate halloween.
because i'm a Christian.

reasons are:
1. i should give God the honor only.
celebrating halloween = giving the devil the glory.

2. halloween = western "hungry ghost festival"
let me put it this way. imagine after attending a funeral, then you are going to celebrate a joyous event?

3. celebrations lead to shock?
often than not, over at western countries. bad things always occur during the celebrations of halloween. for example, robbery etc. it's also shown in movies or shows. this means there's a evil spirit behind it.
on top of it, the practice of halloween is to play pranks on people. and this also in a way pose a danger to whoever in the party. as you people know that, when we are in a party that means fun. that means we might be carried away. and the "highness" might caused us to do things that are not sane.
party are meant to be fun yeah? why would you want to end your party, "funness" with unhappy memory?

4. dress code for halloween party.
people are dressed with witch's clothings. scary or even bloody make-ups and costumes. the gist of it is to scare people.
hmmm. again i'm repeating myself - party are meant to be fun. why would you want to have a party that's scary?

my apologies for not being able to attend the halloween. hope you people will understand.
yeah, this might sound really er. serious.
but that's against God's standard.
and i will not do anything that's against God principles.
definately i will also not do things that's against my faith.

my dad suggested: if the whole halloween idea is scrape off. probably instead of halloween party it became costume party. and all of us are like dressed up in differnt kind of characters, such as snow white, witch, super heros etc. nto totally like you know witches and vampires and etc. i'm able to join your for the party.

what i feel is that, i'm fine not being in the fun. just let me know the happenings of everything and i'll be happy enough=)
since the planning and organising and the idea and everything. much effort was put in. that's why i shall not be a "pest" to your by asking your to change the whole idea of halloween to costume party.

don't worry. i shall just enjoy my night at home praying for you guys=D
and you guys know me best. i'll definately make full use of the time that i have. even though i'm not in the fun=) once again, my apologies.
