I told one of friends an analogy of what’s between God and us.

i look at my hamster and said i love hamster. I love animals. Have you gotten any idea what i’m talking about?

These animals have small brains, low intelligence than us, short term memory.

Since they have short term memory, they cannot remember well. They never commit suicide due to depression. You might know depression caused by thinking too much.

Well, the animals have small brains and don’t think a lot. Hence they live a simple life.

Looking at my hamster, she feels peace. She just eat, drink, play and sleep. Although she is like one of family to me, she is slave to humans. I can control whether i feed food.

Yes, animals are slaves to humans because humans can control animals. Putting them in cage, setting them wild, feeding them food, or even killing them.

Have you wonder dogs are loyal to humans, treating them as their master?

Being with their master, they must be felt happy and peace.

Being with wrong master, they would suffer and die.

That’s how we are slaves to God. God loves us as the way we love pets. Let God control our life as the way we control pets.

If we are disloyal to God, He will put us into hardship as the way we put dogs into cage lest they could bite.

If we deny God, we cannot feel God’s presence and darkness approaches us as the way pets are gone lost and become stray, “beggar” or sad life.

If we love other gods rather than Lord Jesus, we would suffer hard life as the way pets are being tortured by evil master like those pet abusers.

If we judge other humans, God can see everything as the way we can observe and decide what to handle for pets since we can control pets.

Pets cannot control us humans as the way we cannot control natural disasters. You might know why God put end to some humans by earthquakes, tsunami or others. Coz some are evil and resistible to turn over a new leaf.

God loves us. He provides you food and gives you good life. But how He does? Well, He does indirectly by using certain people with God’s presence in their heart. He is everywhere in our heart as we let Him control us.

If you think your best friends would face away from your world, don’t assume that it definitely happens.
If you notice they are talking behind your back, don’t assume that they talk bad things about you.
If you heard they knew your bad attitudes or characters, don’t assume that they pretend to be nice to you when you meet them.

Coz they have hope in you and will never hurt you.

Instead all these negatively what you assumed had caused a drift in friendship. That’s not their problems and you are hurting yourself. Your thinking had reflected actions towards friends. Why would it cause a misunderstanding?

Never judge people for God will judge them because God can see everything.

Only God can help you even when you are worrying because you can’t see what they are doing in distance. But you gotta have faith and trust, believing what is unseen. Only Lord can teach you how to keep your faith and trust strong.

Sightseeing cruise in Geneva

Can you believe that i just set new goals in life? I even thought myself that i want to live in Zermatt, the coldest city in Switzerland. Of course, i’m not afraid of cold. Besides, i love seasons there where it has such a show that leaves can turns green, yellow, red and then brown if you know what it means. Love to live in wooden house. Felt very relax. Also i love skiing. i was even imagining that i can ski professionally even though i don’t have ski’s skill at all. I was really looking forwards to skiing terribly.

3 nights in Geneva,

2 nights in Zermatt,

1 night in Lucerne,

1 night in Zurich,

5 nights in Paris, and

2 nights in Dubai.

you can see how these pictures – one picture per city – can reflect their culture and the feel of living there. These look entirely different in each culture! So this was hard to compare the three countries that i like the most but i think it’s Zermatt. I felt as if i’m belonged to that place. i love coldness! Now i think it’s no wonder that i was called “Heat pack” as nickname back then. Ha ha!

i really enjoyed the trip with my family. It was the best moment to spend time in warming chat with whole family at night when we were at wooden house in Zermatt. Thank Lord for everything.

Happy New Year 2012!

Switzerland, Paris & Dubai,
Here I Come with my family!
As well as seeing my uncle there who lives in Brazil!

Starting in 24 hours time.

Recently, i’ve been shopping for travel stuffs.
One of the most desires over there i’ve been looking forward to
SNOWBOARDING!

My HSBC debit card has been retained by the ATM machine once i insisted it in.

It’s probably because i tried two or three PIN attempts yesterday. I forgot my given PIN number and it was going to be my last attempt i noted. I cancelled it and retrieved it back, fearing that it would be retained.

Today, i remember my PIN number  so i went to bank to try it one more time. When i insisted in, it notified that there will be out of receipts and if i don’t mind it, i pressed enter. Finally, it retained my damn card! What’s going on man…

I went into bank service, claiming that my card has been retained. She noted and asked,

“I need your receipt please.”

I told her that the machine has out of receipts.

“Then your IC card please.”

I lost my IC card along with the wallet couple of days ago. I proved her with the documents of police report.

She was showing disappointed face. She asked, “I need to verify your photo in any document. What about your passport?”

“My passport is at home. Can’t i give you my personal details like name, address, birthdate, account number? And here is my details in police report documents.”

“Sorry, we can’t accept it.”

I was like dying.

However, it’s all thanks to God. you know why?

Before going to HSBC to check my PIN number, i was thinking of buying LEGO Technic “Car” box after cash withdrawn. It’s my favorite pastime and i love to build technically. This box costs 200+ dollars.

With all these happening today, God doesn’t allow me to buy it but maybe next time. I can’t buy it without cash. I felt i have been overspent those days and there will be expensive overseas trip coming Dec.

Well, thank you Lord!

Because there always has a reason to lose something. And you will know it after God. Once you realize it, you won’t feel miserable or terrible. Instead, you feel glad. That’s life when we accept God into our life.

It sounds so true.
God wants us to be realists,
letting the nature takes course.

“The Pessimist complains about the wind;
The Optimist expects it to change;
The Realist adjusts the sails.”
- William A. Ward -

Inspired by Google StreetView.
It’s so poetic and charming!

Never thought someone can make it all by himself,
Tom Jenkins.

Impressive!

Haha! The title said itself for the sake of Angry Birds!
Genuine Angry Birds in this picture looks amazing.

It was just a game.
From there,
it became a brand.
Now real-life Angry Birds.

How crazy these innovative creations that caught the world.

Hahaha

How i wish i could be like the one
who chase after your wind to
the Far Far Away Land.
the good thing is the action speaks louder than words,
where you’ll catch glimpse of his everything in your own eyes.
Yet, many times you missed his fur that you were passing
though like a wind.
he kept chasing till you got another chance.

Too close, yet risky.

At the precipice, your mind goes baffled
and the uncertainty’s being ignored.

there, you will fall at the sight of the tenacity,
to hug the chase.
but be careful, you’ll end up hurting yourself.

This animated picture can tell you a thousands words.

So far i’ve seen in this world where lies with problems that people face through trials, hardships and they realize their life won’t be so easy hence they might say life sucks or inappropriate phrase FML if you know it.

Coz they chose wrong idol to be in their life.

The idol is defined as an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship. It doesn’t mean that you have to worship an idol unless you know the definition of “worship”. The word “worship” refers not only to god or deity but as the fact, the thesaurus side of “worship” is revere, venerate, honor, adore, praise, idolize, glorify, cherish and more similar meaning.

The entire point of the meaning of “idol” is not just a person but a thing too that is greatly admired, loved, or revered.

Every human needs at least an idol. You know why? Having an idol will keep your life moving on which means you love, admire or revere him. Idol satisfies you and your life is moving on to gain satisfaction again.

You would deny that you aren’t worshipping celebrity/idol or you even wouldn’t realize what you are treating the celebrity as. Otherwise what are you to him besides being a fan of idol? Your love for the idol is to allow idol to be part of your life, gaining you under his control. You get it? i’m saying if you are a fan of Korean Pop idol like SNSD, you won’t tolerate anyone who insult your idol. That means the idol has you under his influence for your love, great respect towards him. You know Michael Jackson’s fan who killed himself upon hearing that his idol died and this is coz they are in one whole life. When one dies, another one cannot live without him. And this is like boy and girl relationship where love is always a complete in humanity.

If you love or greatly admire or idolize the person/thing and even you are willing to give up your life for his or her sake, you are worshipping him/her or thing as well.

Idol is also a thing. Money can be an idol. Macbook as well. Even sex. The things that you admire greatly, are part of your life which means they satisfy you! Money brings comfortable life you may think. Money can solve anything you may think. Which is why most people work so hard just for money. Yet it consumes your life. Money always brings problems and that you will realize sooner or later.

People don’t realize the purpose of life living on earth. We are all just human vessels which need to be filled with something or idol. Have you found a reason to live? Have you asked yourself what you are living for? The answer is always idol. It can be money, power, thing, object, someone or even yourself.

Don’t tell me that you live on earth for nothing or fun coz nothing equals death whereas life always has a purpose. If you found a reason to live, at least it must be a right thing.

If you live to change someone’s life, you are worthy. Don’t live yourself just for someone or for the world without making any difference.

So human always have a choice for which main idol to be filled in his life. If you choose to live for money, you will face problems, life having distorted. If for celebrity or someone you greatly love or admire for cuteness and such, you will give away yourself to him, meaning as if you would die for him but this is nothing worth to die for except your own life. If you love someone for sexual appease/appearance or beauty, you’ll only pleasure yourself and this is not true love. These are temptations which can consume your life. Life can be tempting but you know yourself and can control it then you will have better life. But how to control it? Only God can help you.

I choose God to be my life. Coz I believe in Him as He is life-giving spirit. You can say God is life as life is an idol itself. To me, God is not an idol but just God. I gave my life to Him already. He is unseen by the world coz He doesn’t want to be unseen so you have to recognise Him yourself. Can you believe? That we are human vessels which needs to be filled with spirit.

God is always with you even after death, not till death. God loves us coz we are created by Him. Pray to give thanks for being alive.

“I am Jehovah your God; you shall have no other gods before Me” – Exo. 20:2-3 as 1st Commandment, which means do not worship other idols before Him. 

He asks one of his new students to stand and…..

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes..

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From… God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son… Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture the after becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? 
(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir… The link between man & God is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

This is a true story, and the student was none other than….
APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India.

hey, i’m already starting to like Google Plus.
There are a lot of benefits enough compare to Facebook.
i’m telling you here the main difference between G+ and FB.

 Facebook is where you gotta interact with your so-called friend.
“Confirm Friend” this and that.
The friend list you find in your FB is far too much in together with your best friends, close friends, family, acquaintances, idols and group members. Who would anyone feel comfortable in sharing stuffs or posts with some who might not be in same common?

Google+, on the other hand, looks impressive.
you can arrange them in circles (groups) such as:
Friends – your real friends, the ones you feel comfortable sharing private details with.
Family – your close and extended family
Acquaintances – A good place to stick people you’ve met but aren’t particularly close to.
Following – the people whom you don’t know personally, but whose posts you find interesting.

You can create new circle and you don’t have to seek permission from the person whom you want to add into your circle.
Simply add them into your circle without their confirmation.
However, you cannot see their posts unless they add you back too or they set privacy under posts to public.
Because it’s all about you and your own privacy,
quite more secured than Facebook privacy.

Another thing i like about Google+ is its photo viewer design. It’s well-functional if you are using Picasa web album and Picnik Photo Editor Online which associated with Google+ either externally or internally.
When you upload your photo into Google+, you can edit the photo right away by using Picnik’s functions within. Patch your pimples for better looks on picture, then post it in Google+ album. That’s simply all.

One last thing: Google+ is a place where you want to hear people voice out their knowledge around the world. Their posts, comments are everything about their opinions, suggestions, life which you might want to check out. Simply type word in Google+ Search where everything they posted appears.
For example, type “Korea” in Search for i would like to hear what people worldwide are talking about the country.
Or type “Steve Jobs” in Search to see any good quote posted by other people.
Like the result appears: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” – Steve Jobs
It has everything that you want or need to find out!

That’s what i’m talking about.
Although i was so empty in Google+ because all my friends are using Facebook, i added other people into “Following” circle as i find their posts interesting to know or learn.

Add me into your circle if you have G+ account!
