Argh.........i hate being misinterpreted. in any way. ok never mind. sheesh.
Ok the main part of my conflict has been settled with my girl pal.usual girly squabbles. intense girly squabbles. Sometimes these squabbles make you go totally nuts!
its good if the girl pal is open to really talk is out openly and honestly not holding it back so......here i am with a smile on my face. the bible says that if you settle a dispute before you go to court but thankfully this was not as serious as any court case and no, it wasn't any bitchy catfight. and no, it wasn't over a guy.
So now I am smiling cos we know each other better and not just superficially for birthdays and group gatherings and for overseas trip prayers. which is great cos you've "won a sister over", like what we're called to do. can we turn disputes into a winning a sis/bro over session?

should we sacrifice?
Ergh....I am frustrated that I got myself sick. Yes for real, and for once this is the absolute truth that I got myself sick with infected throat and it's my fault.
You know sometimes I keep reminding myself what I was taught early adulthood about "Obedience is better than sacrifice" and how we should learn from various examples in the bible like David and Abraham, not that they only obeyed and didn't sacrifice but they always put obedience before all else. Obedience not to anyone but to authority over you. Obedience to people who care for your well being.
So here I am taking my own sweet time to write this blog now, at work because my social life is over for the day. Because i was "told" to go home right after work. Yes by my church group leader. And this actually makes sense because I totally do not even feel like going to any part of town at this moment. Mondays, i realise, is one good time to rest, "chill", and pore over or pour over (Which is the correct spelling) the Word. Not cos I'm in trouble, not cos i feel sad or down, but simply because I actually WANT to.
I think the same thing works with BGR. You don't "have to" do something for someone, you do something because you want to? What if that "want" becomes a "don't want"? ever? How will I go about solving this? How will my partner solve this? Maybe its not a question of solving a problem but both sides working together at something common. That's why having common goals in life is soo important.

wow..........
I realize, i have to touch base with the deepest desires from my heart and cannot wander like a cloud, following the crowd. Ok my desires dont exactly follow the crowd but I have favourites out of the likeable things in life still.
And unless I stick to what I value most, I cannot be the most happy. I'm serious, you cannot be absolutely happy unless you're very honest about your favourite, for example, pasttime, among all the pasttimes you like.
And I didn't know how powerfully our goals and dreams can drive and motivate us....wow. And how much putting goals and dreams down in words can help. I am still praying for the chance to do what I want and go to those places.

critical netizens
Sigh...what can i say? in times like these when everyone just chooses one target to pick on and criticises online. Thank God that she really takes everything said in stride. Sometimes society just likes to talk about people, "arrow" someone...out of fun, jealousy maybe? But in a strange way, this actually brings more publicity than if people "liked" you....cos popularity is fleeting i feel. people are hard to please and politics is ALL about saying the "right" thing to the masses. In the words of very senior ministers themselves.
It's not like she's not going to do anything good for people, or it's not that she's doing something bad for people either. So wait and watch....before following the crowd, seriously.
Also i feel the whole point the opposition parties got more votes than other years is not because the present Primary Ruling Party is bad or mean but, hahaha, the younger generation-Y, (our parents are generation X) believes in competition because Competition invites COMPETENCY in any country, any organization that wants to do well. We fear complacency and overbearingness of a single-party, which oculd lead to...
I do admit though that times did change and the present primary ruling party DID a lot for us, fighting all the way for our "rights", bringing us out of racism and discrimination, post-war, starvation, poverty and established a lot of security, infrastructure for us...hm...yea they did do a lot for us...oh well....young people do enjoy watching a good game of "close fights"...sheesh. politics has become a sport...?
