tips to prevent a tsunami....

and again, my dear readers, i'm declaring and emphasising that i have absolutely no prior knowledge of the future. all i'm giving is probably, at most, the methods or ways people could avoid a tsunami.

wouldn't that be to turn back to the Almighty? Who would be The Creator Himself. He created planets, the things in the galaxy, and of course, us mortals and the other spirits hovering around that are either with Him (on the righteous side) or on the darker side.

posture of prayer might affect the seriousness of the prayer....but it would be quite useless if the mortal heart wasn't really moved. I would still think He would go for the main thing, which is the deep heartfelt earnestness of the heart.

rumors of earthquakes n tsunamis

those stuff again...i'm prob gonna write a very controversial blog? gee, then again most blogs are supposed to be this way, judging at the stuff i read nowadays on the media. anyone wanna beat me at being controversial? heh heh. i bet many have already.

Comparatively, blogs are even, well, safe compared to the newspapers even. Well, that's just my opinion...i'm human. Why do i feel this way? because people know blogs as "Opinionated" and subject to the individual's point of views and bias. so there is lowered expectations already, unlike newspapers, whom a lot of people take as Bible truth. Believe me, how would u know the people they interview are telling the whole truth? i think the best way to check if sth is true is to really check a variety of sources. google it. if several sites (say, 5 or 7 sites at least) claim the same news....it might be worth a think. and here, i'm talking about think, not even wholeheartedly believe. then again, the reader has the right to believe what he wants. Don't get me wrong. I really admire and look up to news reporters. some of them have really been the voice of truth and help to me, on a personal level, as friends too. It's just the envy bug that sneaks in occasionally. teehee.

7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death,

and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray
and hate each other,
11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will
grow cold,
13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world
as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
(Matt 24 n Mark)

Making Mountains out of Molehills

Last week i learnt how not to make mountains out of molehills. yes, i got scolded for doing that, at work. well.....it was a case of feeling isolated in the corner of the office and facing a wall daily. someone added to my anguish-and-adapting period i had by "suaning" me about my plight quite often. then my helplessness came out as a strong rebuttal about my work to my superior. and er.....whoa.....never mind about what happened later. basically half the office knew my boss was in bad mood that week. week.

the next week he realised what had happened, that it wasn't such a big thing and told me "don't blow up a problem next time when its acutally so small!"

anyway, i totally agree that if u really want to bring out the best in any human, treat and expect the best from them. i am thankful for friends and people who expect the best of me.
