Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008

This is the last day of year 2007.
I guess it has been a great year for me.
Though I am still stuck with epilepsy, but I grew up psychologically and spiritually.
Been through quite a lot, did more acting and performing than anything else, which yes, I did enjoy.
But in the year 2008, I hope to earn more money and be a blessing to people around me. I want to do what God wants me to do. To give more of my time and love to people in my life, to bring them to their feet when they fall. Another thing is, I hope to write more poems and plays, hone up my writing skills.
2007's Christmas Musical was wonderful! No words can describe how much I love it, how much I love the teamwork and the effort everyone has put in. And of course, how loving and great is our God.
I want to thank my family for being so loving and understanding towards me, though sometimes I could be quite stubborn. Thanks a gazillionz Daddy, Mommy and Artie.
Also, I want to thank my bunch of close friends who never failed to care and cheer me up and always making me feel important. *muacks* to Lou and Zac, Nic, Jocelyn.
Of course not forgetting my darling sister: Marianne dearie. Thanks gurl for everything, for being so understanding of my busy schedule, never blaming me, never laying guilt traps on me. Love you dear.
Last but not least, my OIKOS family. You guys are great manz. You never know how much I appreciate you guys for treating me like an adult but at the same time doting on me and caring so much about me.
So much for 2007, it's time for 2008.
I'm sure 2008 will be a greater and more fufilling year than before.
I throw my arms wide open to embrace the coming year.
Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008!

Yesterday morning I went for sunday service.
Altar call was to receive God's love, and to have the assurance that God loves everyone of us.
Many went forward for the altar call, including me.
Some say that we lack of self-assurance, or lack of faith.
Well, sorry but I beg to differ.
In life, not everything is smooth-sailing, we may fall, get tired or totally exhausted.
To go for altar call does not necessarily mean that we do not have faith or self-assurance, we just need encouragement from God, a touch from the Lord.
In fact, the willingness to step out to the altar proves that we saw the problem in ourselves, and we are willing face it with God.

I am much annoyed by someone who always writes his blog with this mindset as if the whole world have offended him and as if only he knows what is the best. I mean, can't you deal with life and people with a bit more of understanding and compassion? Can't you stand in others' perspective to look at life? Well, maybe I really don't understand you enough, but I don't think you have any right to pass any judgement on others.

女人vs社会_part2

我有蛮多朋友都是未婚怀孕，然后，因为有了孩子而结婚。
所谓的shot-gun marriage。
我不是不赞同未婚怀孕，而是，我不同意为了肚子里的孩子而要男人“负责任”。
利用“责任”这两个字来绑住男人，男人就不会式着逃跑么？即使躯壳不逃，心也会逃吧。
结了婚，任何一方都可能行为出馗，也可能两个人都遗憾自己一生就这样没有了自由、要为家庭而放弃理想。
这样的婚姻真地会快乐吗？
如果，你的男人一心一意爱着你，即使老了，爱情可能变成单纯的依赖与信任，但至少那还是一种爱。
可悲的是；他不爱你，只是为了负起这个责任而娶你。
但可怕的是；他觉得要负责任，所以他娶了你，尝试爱你一生，但半途却发现原来他没这个本事爱你。最后，两个人离婚收场或者像两个陌路人一起生活，
你们想一想；对那无辜的孩子公平么？
如果，我未婚怀孕，我不会因此而要男方负起什么鬼责任。
我不需要他因为“责任”而娶我，我要他因为爱我、爱我的家人、爱我肚子里的孩子、爱我的一切才娶我。
如果，他没这个本事爱我一生，那我大可做个单亲妈妈。
女人们，当你们决定把小生命带到这个世界上，你就要有准备为他牺牲一切，他就要成为你生命的中心。
没有人要你们一辈子当单亲妈妈，当你遇到心仪的人时，你能渴望得到幸福。
但是，你要确保你得lover能够接受并爱惜你的一切，那包括你的孩子。
要不然，免谈。
孩子是在毫无选择的情况下被你带到这个世界的，所以，既然你作出了生下他的决定，就要为你的决定而负责。你有责任保护他，疼爱他以及教育他。
社会怎么看待你们未婚生子、单亲妈妈之类的想法，已经不重要了。
因为你生命的中心是你的孩子，你要为了你带来的这个小生命而勇敢地面对生活的一切。
单亲妈妈也能很快乐，也能很成功。
