utilizing the blog

i found an interesting article about journaling from Steve Pavlina's blog. He is a writer for personal development. and i enjoy his writing. on his post about journaling, he mentioned three main benefits of journaling :

* Solve tricky problems. Some problems are very difficult to solve when you’re stuck in an associative, first-person viewpoint. Only when you record the situation and then re-examine it from a third-person perspective does the solution become clear. Sometimes the solution is so obvious that you’re shocked you didn’t see it sooner.
* Gain clarity. A great time to turn to your journal is when you’re just not clear about what to do. Should you quit your job to start your own business? Should you marry your current romantic partner? Are you on the right track financially? It’s amazing how much clearer things become when you explore them in writing.
* Verify your progress. It’s wonderful to go back and re-read journal entries from years ago and see how much real progress has been made. When you’re frustrated that your life doesn’t seem to be working out as you’d like, go back and read something you wrote five years ago — it will totally change your perspective. This helps you in the present moment too by reminding you that you are in fact growing and changing, even when it feels like you’re standing still.

interesting.. it really motivates me to keep journaling.. so i guess i will utilize my blog more ?.. ^^

Stuck again

Every year when i filled my scholarship form, i always end up being stress and stuck. It started on choosing the study field and all the questions related to it. hmmpphh.. I dont like my current field and I have no idea what field should i choose. what a pathetic person am I...

I dont wanna repeat the same mistake. doing something that not belong to my passion and end up in a place that dont belong to me just like now. i can clearly hear my heart says that i hate my job. and last night as i filled the application form, i was so confused whether it is a way out for me or not. i dont like all the field of study being offered. i was thinking about randomly choosing one of them, creating story on how it relates to me and how this benefits the country.. but all will be a lie.. and why doing it? i guess it just for the sake of somebody who doesnt truly understand and believe in me..

Applying scholarship

Dear God,

Thank for a beautiful life You had given me. You give me health, job and most importantly lovely people in my life. Your love passes human expectations and anything that I do could never be enough to thank You.

I believes You have a beautiful plan in me,, even when some times I have a doubt. For just like now, when I am about to apply scholarship. I have a big question and doubt in mind. I am worry how if I fail again? Should I be trying again next year? or will I be stuck on this field? But how if I pass? Will I be able to maintain my relationship with my loved one?

Please help me to believe You have the best answer for all my doubts and questions God. Help me to walk with faith and leave all my worries on You. Let me always walk in Your direction.

Thank God.

Sincerely,
Your daughter

Happy heart

this morning i had a little incident with by which coz me to lose control of myself and lose the joy in my heart. i know it was all my mistake.. i have no control over myself. but God is so good, He had given me someone that is so patient and understanding to be by my side.

and as i regretting what happen this morning, words of God came into my mind, give me new hope and courage,,

A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones
(Proverbs 17:22)

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart
(Psalm 37:4)

A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken
(Proverbs 15:13)

All the days of the afflicted are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast
(Proverbs 15:15)

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad
(proverbs 12:25)

God is so good and His love never fails.. Give thank and delight yourself in Him.

GZ, we r here..

arriving in GZ Baiyun International Airport around 9.00 p.m.. we were taking airport express line 5 to Haizhu square. It costs us RMB 20 /person.. much much cheaper than the airport information centre offer us for a taxi ride which cost RMB 180. huh.. Remind me to be more careful so as not to gulled.. ^^ We then catch taxi to Lido hotel for RMB 8 (minimum taxi fare in GZ). It was still crowded on the hotel on 10.30 pm when we arrived.

the receptionist first question was ,, how many people staying? and I handed him all of our passports. then it was a problem since we booked a two persons room. the hotel required us to pay RMB 180 for an extra bed/night. ouuchh,,.. we are so not prepared for this. after negotiation with the management, they required us to pay RMB 50/night for all the extra towel, soap, toothpaste that we dont need.. annoying (it was not sent to our room until we asked for it).. hikss

despite all, we are quite satisfied with the hotel room. It is old, but still good. and the location is good. easy to find restaurant around the hotel. after taking our late dinner,, we were off to sleep and be prepared for tomorrow journey.. ;D

The very early mistake

On the very first hour of our trip,, we had make a mistake. So everybody was informed that Air asia terminal is located on terminal 3. But no one knows (or ONLY me??) that the international flights remained on Terminal 2.. hikss.. Fortunately, there was a kind man who voluntarily drive us to terminal 2 without any cost and without any bad motives.. I believe God always sent His angel to His kid who in need.. Thank Lord!
