saban hari kita dihidangkan dengan cerita-cerita yang baik dan kadangkala menakutkan...banyak cerita yang kita dengar sekarang ini menyembunyikan hal-hal yang benar...pagi ni aku setuju dengan satu post kawan aku yang berbunyi "there are two sides to every story ...yours is wrong!"..dalam banayk2 perkara sekarang ni kita sudah hampir tidak mengenali diri kita sendiri...tak tahu apa yang sebenarnya kita rasa dan lalui...suka sangat PERCAYA kata2 orang lain tanpa mahu berusaha sendiri apatah lagi menyelidiki...sedih kan???
Banyak kengkawan @ masyarakat sekarang ni suka ikut TREND sahaja...jadi Pak Turut..ikut saja apa orang buat..padahal dia sendiri tak tahu akan rasionalnya....kita sudah jadi tak kuat lagi....adoooooiii..sedih kan...pertahanan diri kita sendiri sudah tidak ampuh lagi...hanya bergantung kuat dengan orang sahaja dalam banyak perkara...

apa-apa aje...

2012-01-16T11:41:00.004+08:00

Lama jugak sudah tak melawat ruangan ini yang aku sendiri buat pada masa lampau...sekarang nih dah busy pulak dengan Facebook....sampai tak terlawat pulak page ni..kalau macam kebun gerenti sudah tinggi rerumputan dalam page ni agaknya...ya la mungkin aku sudah lupa diri kot...hahahaaa..
ya la..sekarang ni macam mau semua yang INSTANT saja kan...kurang menulis dari hati dan fikiran sendiri tapi mau mengikut apa yang orang buat saja..tu la..sekarang ni pun aku sudah menjadi atkut dengan persekitaran yang ada..baik dari segi politik dan sosialnya...sana gaduh..sini kacau...apa sudah mao jadi sekarang ni kan???
mengimbau kembali kehidupan pada awa tahun 80an membuatkan aku merasakan kemanakah hilangnya rasa tenteram itu???? ya la sekarang orang bijak pandai kata DEVELOPMENT is a MUST...tapi sejak 30tahun yang sudah ni macam tidak DEVELOP pulak tamadun kita...banyak yang mo cuba jadi HERO la...padahal HERO tu memang tak ada langsung dalam diri mereka..
teringat pulak aku bincang petang aku semalam dengan seorang uncle di Old Town White Coffee...dia kata "u cannot give what u dont have"..balik petang semalam aku pikir2..betul jugak kata uncle ini..u cannot be sincere if u dont sincere kan...kalau tidak semuanya akan jadi plastik saja...sekarang ni banyak kengkawan dan masyarakat yang coba mempamerkan kebaikan dan menutupi keburukan mereka...try to be look PERFECT...padahal track recordnya adalah sebaliknya...
Well..i really hope and PRAY that our society jadi lebih matang dan sincere dalam apa yang dilakukan...macam YB pulak sudah aku ni kan??
ya la..risau pulak bila baca blog dan entry kawan2 yang banyak komplen akan keadaan sekarang dan cuma bisa menyalahkan masyarakat tanpa mahu meluangkan dan membagikan sedikit keringat akan perubahan...marahkan oarng membuang sampah tapi dia juga turut buang...marahkan kerajaan tak bantu orang miskin tapi hari2 makan tak ajak jiran sebelah makan ( macam zaman awal 80an)tapi membuang sisa makanan yang banyak.....apa sudah jadi ni...bila komen berapi-api tak ada tindakan....perkara ini membuatkan aku teringat akan parable "action talks/ speak louder than word"..ya la kan..tidak susah mahu menyalahkan orang lain, mengomen orang lain apa lagi kalau orang lain tu tidak kita kenal..tapi senang saja kita menghukum mereka..labelkan mereka..tanpa pernah kita berfikir APA AKU BOLEH SUMBANGKAN????
ya la bila aku pikir semua ini membuat kan aku takut..dan sekaligus rindukan kedamaian dimana orang semuanya hidup dalam rukun...
ya la...apa-apa aje kan?

Tasha writing bout Babai...

2009-02-14T02:00:00.003+08:00

This great man of our family just pass away a few days ago on the 2nd of February 2009. it was a great demise for all of us as he were the true living Christ in our family. A man of full courage and love which we could defined him. i still can remember that he done his mission as a father to his children and a grandfather a.k.a babai to me. before he was so sick,he use to tell me lots of good things that brings benefit to me. he spend so much on me since i was a baby till i grow up and done my SPM. he always give me advices to be a better person in future. now that he's not here anymore on earth,i feel really lonely without him. its as if i'm so alone in this whole wide world. i love him so much! OMG! i just can't compare him from any other people and its difficult to find that kind of person who is so holy. i wish he was here but its OK because he's with GOD right now in heaven. i knew it! babai use to tell me also that i must be a good girl in the family as the eldest among all of his grandchildren and to be a good role model to them by showing good examples. i'll never know if i can do that. but now,i think i can give it a try. i just want to make him proud of me from heaven above. i hope and pray that he will pray for me and the others as well. if i have the chance to meet him in my dreams,i will tell him how much i miss him. he is so meaningful to each and everyone of us. he's so special to everyone because he has done too many deeds that people can ever forget. there are so many things that babai told me before he left. having an amazing people in our life that left us suddenly is quite a shock event. i can't help myself when i saw him in the coffin. its unbelieveable to me that he really is going. i feel so guilty because i seldom come and visit him when he's ill. its not that i don't want to,its just that i can't help it to see an old person that is so weak that can't do anything just by lying down on the bed,it makes me feel bad. like malay people use to say,"sik kempang". that's how i feel. its because i seldom see babai so sick like that. he change my life before he left. but i just hate it when people always say that i'm the one who make him ill. i feel really bad about it. i think babai is mad at me right now for behaving disobediently towards my parents. i aleady know what babai wants from me. he just wants me to be obedient and well behaved young lady. i'll try my best! babai is also not a choosy person. he listens to everyone's opinion. i'm overwhelmed with babai's way. he never troubles people and he also don't even mind if people troubles him just by asking help from him. he will help if he can. i know how babai is and i don't like it when babai is at a high temperature. everyone respects him. i really wonder how is babai right now. i just want to know how is he. i wish i could know about it. babai loves each and everyone of us his grandchildren. he treat all of us equally and so does how he treats his children that has all grown up to be a person in life that has their on family. i think that all of us should be worry to much because he has aready rest in peace. he'll watch us all from heaven where all the holy one are and pray. i just want to thank babai for giving me so many advice,taking care of me,my siblings and my cousins. i'm so lucky that i do get some love from him before since i was a baby girl. thank you so much babai! take care! P.S I LOVE YOU!!! HappY ValEntinE's DaY!

ROSARY PRAYER

2008-05-22T08:57:00.003+08:00

The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to pray for us. Our Lady always grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition, the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer made together with Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of hearts and conversion. Each day, through prayer you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.
It can seem a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two sweethearts who many times say one another the words: "I love you"...

A devout exercise to perform praying the Rosary to obtain any request is the "54-day Rosary Novena" in honor of Our Lady of Pompeii.
You can find the History of the Rosary reading the Secret of the Rosary of Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort.

The Holy Father John Paul II with the Apostolic Letter ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE of 10/16/2002 has added 5 new mysteries of the Rosary: The Mysteries of the Light.

Saint Dominic Home Cell Group

2008-04-07T15:42:00.003+08:00

St. Dominic (1170-1221). Son of Felix Guzman and Bl. Joan of Aza, he was born at Calaruega, Spain, studied at the Univ. at Palencia, was probably ordained there while pursuing his studies and was appointed canon at Osma in 1199. There he became prior superior of the chapter, which was noted for its strict adherence to the rule of St. Benedict. In 1203 he accompanied Bishop Diego de Avezedo of Osma to Languedoc where Dominic preached against the Albigensians (heresy) and helped reform the Cistercians. Dominic founded an institute for women at Prouille in Albigensian territory in 1206 and attached several preaching friars to it. When papal legate Peter of Castelnan was murdered by the Albigensians in 1208, Pope Innocent III launched a crusade against them headed by Count Simon IV of Montfort which was to continue for the next seven years. Dominic followed the army and preached to the heretics but with no great success. In 1214 Simon gave him a castle at Casseneuil and Dominic with six followers founded an order devoted to the conversion of the Albigensians; the order was canonically approved by the bishop of Toulouse the following year. He failed to gain approval for his order of preachers at the fourth General Council of the Lateran in 1215 but received Pope Honorius III's approval in the following year, and the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) was founded.

Dominic spent the last years of this life organizing the order, traveling all over Italy, Spain and France preaching and attracting new members and establishing new houses. The new order was phenomenally successful in conversion work as it applied Dominic's concept of harmonizing the intellectual life with popular needs. He convoked the first general council of the order at Bologna in 1220 and died there the following year on August 6, after being forced by illness to return from a preaching tour in Hungary. He was canonized in 1234 and is the patron saint of astronomers. Feast day is Aug. 8.

LENT: Ten ways to grow in holiness

2008-02-14T09:06:00.001+08:00

Lenten customs are designed to help us enter into this holy season and grow in discipline and service. The word Lent means “springtime,” a time of new life. Here are ten common Lenten practices by which we can draw closer to God, experience interior conversion and renew our spiritual lives.

Ashes — Ashes are an ancient symbol of repentance. References to sackcloth and ashes can be found often in the Old Testament. Ashes remind us that we won’t live forever (“remember that you are dust”), prompting us to reflect on our lives and our need for God’s mercy and to ponder what is important in the long run (eternal life with God) and what is only temporary (many of our day-to-day desires and challenges). To prepare well for the day we physically die, we must die now to sin and rise to new life in Christ.

Fasting and Giving Something Up — Often this is our first impression or thought of Lent, and each year we have the big question of what to give up.

Food — All it takes is a quick look at any magazine rack to see that this nation is obsessed with food — with eating more and tastier, and with eating less. Fasting for spiritual reasons is different from dieting for health and weight loss. Most of us should fast from particular food-favorites throughout Lent as well as from meat on Fridays. By eliminating sweets, coffee, soda, alcohol or whatever other food has a grip on us, and by turning to God every time we are tempted by these foods, we can gain a real sense of God’s grace and how close He is to us. Our attachment to food can be complicated. Lent is a great time to begin, with God’s help, to uncomplicate it.

Fasting (eating less food) is one of the most ancient practices of Lent — there is a deep wisdom to fasting that we’ll only understand if we do it just because it will help us draw closer to God. Lenten fasting is a traditional way to seek to imitate Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert.

Changing Behaviors and Attitudes — All of us have things in our lives that come between us and God, and we may or may not realize it. This Lent, if we go somewhere quiet and humbly ask God, “Lord, what do you want me to give up?” He will answer. It may be a food, or a television show, or a friend or an attitude or habit. Giving it up will make a significant and positive difference in our spiritual lives.

Prayer — Give more time to prayer during Lent. Try different things — weekday Mass; spiritual reading from the saints; Lenten prayer Web sites (for example, www/creighton.edu/ CollaborativeMinistry/ Lent) or books of prayers; retreats and days of reflection; meditating/pondering the Gospels, especially the Passion; quiet listening and pouring out your heart to God. The rosary or other common prayers may help us reflect or talk with God. A picture of Christ or Mary can help our prayer, as can the Stations of the Cross. Aim for simplicity and love in your Lenten prayer.

Almsgiving — Besides food, money is a big complication for many people. Try giving a specific percentage of your Lenten income this year, or decide now on a specific amount to give, and then choose a charity or your parish as the recipient. As you write the check or hand over the bills, ask God to take and use the money for His will.

Penance — Lent is the primary time for celebrating the sacrament of penance/reconciliation. Lent is a season for renewal, and what better way to begin than to have our sins forgiven! Early Christian teachers are said to have called this sacrament a second-baptism, because it should enable us to start again to live the baptismal life to its fullest. Many parishes provide brochures to help with our examination of conscience, or we can always use the Ten Commandments.

Stations of the Cross — Praying and pondering the Stations of the Cross either privately or publicly can be a way of remembering Jesus’ sufferings and a way to grow in appreciation of his sacrifice. Toward the end of Lent, the liturgical readings also will recall Christ’s Passion. There are many booklets available at parishes and religious bookstores for this devotional practice. Some parish youth and/or adult groups stage live Stations of the Cross. It is a devotion that can help make Jesus’ Passion more “real” for us.

Burying the Alleluia — The word “Alleluia” is heard throughout the Christian world, a Greek and Latin form of the Hebrew word “Hallelujah,” meaning “praise the Lord.” Because this word is particularly associated with Easter, the custom developed to intentionally eliminate it from the liturgies of Lent, “sort of a verbal fast” according to one author. The idea is to create a sense of anticipation and greater joy when this familiar word of praise returns at Easter. At Easter, we give it no rest at all, repeating it again and again in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.

Season of Lent

2008-02-14T09:04:00.001+08:00

Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days. All churches that have a continuous history extending before AD 1500 observe Lent. The ancient church that wrote, collected, canonized, and propagated the New Testament also observed Lent, believing it to be a commandment from the apostles. (See The Apostolic Constitutions, Book V, Section III.)

Raising children

2008-01-18T16:44:00.000+08:00

Raising children is one of the toughest and most fulfilling jobs in the world - and the one for which you may feel the least prepared. Here are nine ways to tackle child-rearing responsibilities that can help you feel more fulfilled as a parent - and enjoy your child more, too.

Nurture your child's self-esteem.
Children start developing their sense of self as babies when they see themselves through their parents' eyes. Your tone of voice, your body language, and your every expression are absorbed by your child. Your words and actions as a parent affect your child's developing self-esteem more than anything else. Praising your child's accomplishments, however small, will make him or her feel proud; letting your child do things independently will make him or her feel capable and strong. By contrast, belittling comments or comparing your child unfavorably with another will make him or her feel worthless.

Avoid making loaded statements or using words as weapons.
Comments like "What a stupid thing to do!" or "You act more like a baby than your little brother!" cause damage just as physical blows do. Choose your words carefully and be compassionate. Let your child know that everyone makes mistakes and that you still love him or her, even when you don't love his or her behavior.

Catch your child being good.
Have you ever stopped to think about how many times you react negatively to your child in a given day? You may find that you are criticizing far more than you are complimenting. How would you feel about a boss who treated you with that much negative guidance, even if it was well-intentioned?

The more effective approach is to catch your child doing something right: "You made your bed without being asked - that's terrific!" or "I was watching you play with your sister and you were very patient." These statements will do more to encourage good behavior over the long run than repeated scoldings. Make a point of finding something to praise every day. Be generous with rewards - your love, hugs, and compliments can work wonders and are often reward enough. Soon you will find you are "growing" more of the behavior you would like to see.

Set limits and be consistent with your discipline.
Discipline is necessary in every household. The goal of discipline is to help children choose acceptable behaviors and learn self-control. Children may test the limits you establish for them, but they need those limits to grow into responsible adults. Establishing house rules will help children understand your expectations and develop self-control. Some house rules might include: no TV until homework is done, and no hitting, name-calling, or hurtful teasing is allowed.

You may want to have a system in place: one warning, followed by consequences such as a "time out" or loss of privileges. A common mistake parents make is failure to follow through with consequences when rules are broken. You can't discipline a child for talking back one day and ignore it the next. Being consistent teaches your child what you expect.

Make time for your children.
With so many demands on your time, it's often difficult for parents and children to get together for a family meal, let alone spend some quality time together. But there is probably nothing your child would like more. Get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning so you can eat breakfast with your child, or leave the dishes in the sink and take a walk after dinner. Children who are not getting the attention they want from their parents often act out or misbehave because they are assured of being noticed that way.

Many parents find it mutually rewarding to have prescheduled time with their child on a regular basis. Create a "special night" each week to be together and let him or her help decide how you will spend your time. Look for other ways to connect with your child - put a note or something special in his or her lunchbox.

Adolescents seem to need less undivided attention from their parents than younger children. Because there are fewer windows of opportunity for parents and teens to get together, parents should do their best to be available when their teen does express a desire to talk or participate in family activities. Attending concerts, games, and other events with your teen communicates caring and lets you get to know about your child and his or her friends in important ways.

Don't feel guilty if you're a working parent. It is the many little things you do with your child - making popcorn, playing cards, window shopping - that he or she will remember.

Be a good role model.
Young children learn a great deal about how to act by watching you. The younger they are, the more cues they take from you. Before you lash out or blow your top in front of your child, think about this: is that how you want your child to behave when he or she is angry? Be constantly aware that you are being observed by your children. Studies have shown that children who hit usually have a role model for aggression at home.

Model the traits you wish to cultivate in your child: respect, friendliness, honesty, kindness, tolerance. Exhibit unselfish behavior. Do things for other people without expecting a reward. Express thanks and offer compliments. Above all, treat your children the way you expect other people to treat you.

Make communication a priority.
You can't expect children to do everything simply because you, as a parent, "say so." Children want and deserve explanations as much as adults do. If we don't take time to explain, children will begin to wonder about our values and motives and whether they have any basis. Parents who reason with their children allow them to understand and learn in a nonjudgmental way.

Make your expectations clear.

If there is a problem, describe it to your child, express your feelings about it, and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Be sure to include consequences. Make suggestions and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. Negotiate. Children who participate in decisions are more motivated to carry them out.

Be flexible and willing to adjust your parenting style.

If you frequently feel "let down" by your child's behavior, it may be because you have unrealistic expectations. Parents who think in "shoulds" (for example, "He or she should be potty-trained by now") may find it helpful to do more reading on the matter or to talk to other parents or child development specialists.

Your child's environment has an impact on his or her behavior, so you may be able to modify that behavior by changing the environment. If you find yourself constantly saying "no" to your 2-year-old, look for ways to restructure his or her surroundings so that fewer things are off-limits. This will cause less frustration for both of you.

As your child changes, you will gradually have to change your parenting style. Chances are, what works with your child now won't work as well in a year or two.

Teenagers tend to look less to their parents and more to their peers for role models. But continue to provide guidance, encouragement, and appropriate discipline while allowing your teen to earn more independence. And seize every available moment to make a connection!

Show that your love is unconditional.

As a parent, you are responsible for correcting and guiding your child. But how you express your corrective guidance makes all the difference in how your child receives it. When you have to confront your child, avoid blaming, criticizing, or fault-finding, which undermine self-esteem and can lead to resentment. Instead, strive to nurture and encourage, even when you are disciplining your child. Make sure he or she knows that although you want and expect better next time, your love is there no matter what.

Be aware of your own needs and limitations as a parent.

Face it - you are an imperfect parent. You have strengths and weaknesses as a family leader. Recognize your abilities - "I am loving and dedicated." Vow to work on your weaknesses - "I need to be more consistent with discipline." Try to have realistic expectations for yourself, your spouse, and your children. You don't have to have all the answers - be forgiving of yourself. And try to make parenting a manageable job. Focus on the areas that need the most attention rather than trying to address everything all at once. Admit it when you're burned out. Take time out from parenting to do things that will make you happy as a person (or as a couple). Focusing on your needs does not make you selfish. It simply means you care about your own well-being, which is another important value to model for your children.

How to Be Yourself

2008-01-02T16:36:00.000+08:00

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde

It's quite possibly the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice: Be yourself. But it's such a vague adage. What do they really mean when they tell you to be yourself? And is it really as easy as it sounds?

7 TIPS on how to be yourself:

Find yourself. You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept yourself first.

Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn't matter. It's impossible to be yourself when you're caught up in wondering "Do they think I'm funny? Does she think I'm fat? Do they think I'm stupid?" To be yourself, you've got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter—not their consideration of you.

Be honest and open. What have you got to hide? You're an imperfect, growing, learning human being. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself—and you feel you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally—then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks.

Relax. Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations. So what if you fall flat on your face? Or get spinach stuck in your teeth? Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterwards. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you're not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too.

Develop and express your individuality. Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream, then be proud of it.

Have a Productive Day. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days, you're the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself.

Believe in who you are. If you're always working to be someone you're not, you'll never be a happy person. Be yourself and show the world you're proud the way you are!

Friendship...

2008-01-02T16:33:00.000+08:00

We need each other...
In times of private pain,
of fear and stress;
We need each other...
to share our joys,
our times of happiness;
We need each other...
to hold on and be strong,
and encourage when things are going wrong;
We need each other...
to keep the faith and love,
and remind each other of all the things we're dreaming of;
We need each other... now and always.

oooooooooooooooo Haaa.....

Today is the last day of the year 2007. Wow cepat jugak masa berlalu huh...tak sedar pulak dah ujung tahun.Well sebelum apa-apa , i just wanna wish you all my friends far and near Happy New Year 2008 and also mau minta ampun dan maaf jika ada yang terkasar bahasa dan yang terKURENG sepanjang tahun 2007 ini.
This year actually banyak pengalaman baru yang aku experience and rasanya macam tidak mau lepaskan semuanya and kalau boleh mau dia kekal selamanya. This year also is a great blessing kerna ada ramai kawan baru yang sentiasa menyokong dalam iman saya sekeluarga.Yalah we all baru saja datang ke Bintulu ni, tapi banyak jugak kawan-kawan baru yang kami jumpa. Syok juga rasanya macam kat kampung sendiri pulak.
Yang tidak baik juga ada tapi percentagenya sangatlah sedikit sekali, yalah kalau mau dikira dari segi kuantitatifnya mungkin kurang dari 5%. Lagipun apa yang mau kita concentrate dengan angka yang kecil itu ya...Ya lah perkara yang macam itu mengingatkan aku movie Robin William "PATCH ADAM" yang mana mengatakan jika kita tumpukan perhatian kepada satu masaalah sebenarnya kita telah buang masa kerana kita cuma fokus kepada satu benda yang kecil padahal yan lebih besar merangkumi masaalah tersebut kita tidak lihat....jadi buang masa saja namanya kan???
Next year apa pulak aku punya azam ya??One thing for sure nak tambahkan bilangan family member aku ni. kalau boleh nak yang kembar.....he..he..he...tak lah aku sunyi bila dah tua nanti kan???

Giving Your Child the Excellence Edge

2007-11-30T14:24:00.000+08:00

We can give our children an edge in life by teaching them ten basic skills or strategies.
These strategies will help them grow into productive adults who live fulfilling lives and form lasting relationships.

The best place for children to learn these principles is at home, where we adults are practicing them to enhance our own lives.

Here are the ten strategies that can help prepare our children for their future.

1. Produce Quality Work.
Quality means doing more than was expected—above and beyond the call of duty.
2. Work Independently.
Learning to work independently doesn't happen at school.
3. Think Creatively.
Creative thinkers know how to consider possible effects and outcomes.
4. Think Critically.
Teach a child how to tell the difference between the truth and a lie and he will be more successful in life.
5. Manage Information Efficiently.
Obtaining useful information is an important skill. Organizing information is equally vital.
6. Work Cooperatively.
In a family, we must work with the needs of others in mind.
7. Communicate Effectively.
Everyone suffers when the communication is faulty.
8. Lead with Confidence.
Anyone with more than one child knows that some are natural leaders and some are decided followers.
9. Manage Time.
How children learn to spend their time now influences how they spend their time in school and later as adults.
10.Assess Yourself.
What children believe is true about themselves is largely determined by what others think of them.

Most parents already possess and use many of these strategies, but there is always room for improvement. The best way to teach these values to your children is to model them.

Begin by targeting one or two areas of concern at a time and have fun watching your child grow.

Produce Quality Work
It’s never too soon to teach your children to produce quality work. In a nutshell, quality means doing more than is expected—going above and beyond the call of duty.

If our children are going to grow into adults who produce quality work, we help them by cultivating that ability now while they’re in school, the ideal training ground for practicing quality work.

Before leading your child in the quest for quality, it’s important to consider whether you produce quality work. Do you pursue quality in your work, at home, and in your relationships with others?

A quality worker …

: is aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
: is aware of something in his life that could use improvement and takes steps to make it happen.
: accepts constructive criticism without getting defensive.
: is confident enough about his job performance to sign his name to it.
: can be trusted to keep his promises.
: is aware of when others produce quality and lets them know he has noticed.

Considering the quality we pursue develops a new self-awareness. Then we can encourage this awareness in our children. That lays their foundation for personal improvement in the future

Spend Time in Prayer

2007-11-30T14:21:00.000+08:00

Tell God all your hopes and fears for the coming year. Ask for insight into, and direction for, each child you plan on teaching. He knows your child intimately and knows the plans He has for him or her.

Ask God to supply all that you need in order to home educate: books, patience, creativity, lab equipment, and wisdom. God will work on you to be the parent and teacher He wants you to be.

Beware of succumbing to adult peer pressure. You do not have to do what other families are doing. Your family is unique, so your style and methods of home schooling will also be unique! Do not let your knees buckle when you hear about another family studying Latin and you are having difficulty with the multiplication tables. If Latin is not working for you and you feel God telling you to focus on multiplication tables, then listen to and follow God.

And don't forget to thank Him for going before you every step of the way!

Prayer to St. Micheal the Archangel

2007-11-27T16:20:00.000+08:00

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae coelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.

What is Divine Mercy?

2007-11-27T15:51:00.000+08:00

The Divine Mercy Message and Devotion

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us — all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:

A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.

B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.

C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.

This message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God's mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread.

The message and devotional practices proposed in the Diary of Saint Faustina and set forth in this web site and other publications of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception are completely in accordance with the teachings of Church and are firmly rooted in the Gospel message of our Merciful Savior. Properly understood and implemented, they will help us grow as genuine followers of Christ.

Spend time to learn more about the mercy of God, learn to trust in Jesus, and live your life as merciful to others, as Christ is merciful to you.

‘Let’s tell the truth about contraceptives’- Dr. Ligaya Acosta

2007-11-22T15:12:00.000+08:00

AS a Catholic, she believes it is her moral obligation to tell the truth. That, explains Dr. Ligaya Acosta, is why she bolted from the Department of Health (DOH) where she worked for almost 29 years. Acosta, 45, decided to leave the job she loved for more than half her life after realizing that her work has been deviating from her moral principles. She worked for the Department of Health in Region 8 in 1976, where she started as the regional information officer. Acosta, who holds a doctorate in management, was designated program manager of the Natural Family Planning program last year. But with the inception of the Ligtas Buntis campaign of the DOH late January this year, she decided to resign in late February and started an advocacy against the program. A mother of four, Acosta now travels around the country to expose what she views as the negative aspects of the project, amid threats to her and her family.

What was your initial rection when you first heard about the Ligtas Buntis campaign of the DOH?
I was stunned. I was very quiet since that morning of our orientation on the program. My heart was really pounding, as if it was going to burst, because I already saw the deception in the program.

What deception?
The program includes distribution of contraceptives to people, and the DOH is not exactly telling the truth about contraceptives: that contraceptives have side effects on women. These cause hypertension or high blood pressure. Plus, some of these contraceptives are actually abortifacients (abortive agents), like IUD (intra-uterine devices) and Depo-Provera (birth control shots).

You have been working for DOH for 29 years, but why did you decide to come out and speak against it only this year?
Because DOH never told us about the side effects of contraceptives. I used to think that contraceptives were really for family welfare. But it was only last year, when I joined a seminar organized by the Family of the Americas Foundation, that I saw the real effects of contraceptives. They had research materials and videos documenting the ill effects of contraceptives. A video titled “Natural vs. Artificial” changed my paradigm. Using an electron microscope, the video showed a comparison of a uterus that had been exposed to contraceptives and one that wasn’t. The one exposed to contraceptives like Depo-Provera was really dry and barren while the other one looks so beautiful and healthy. From then on, when I conducted seminars for DOH, I included in my talk what I learned from the Americas Foundation.

And this didn’t sit well with the DOH?
Yes. After being exposed to the side effects of contraceptives, I conducted my own research on the matter. While digging and learning more about contraceptives, I became very unhappy with my job at DOH. In the same manner, DOH was also becoming unhappy with the way I conducted my seminars. The “contraceptives people” hated me a lot because they said na nakakasira ako sa contraceptives.

So that was when you decided to resign from DOH?
Actually, I was willing to compromise. I told them I will continue to work for them just as long as we include in our materials the side effects of contraceptives. We couldn’t agree on that. And then they introduced the Ligtas Buntis program, and that was the last straw for me.

What was their reaction?
They hated me a lot, especially now that I am exposing their deception. Also, it’s only Region 8 that was very noisy. There was no one else from the other regions that was going against Ligtas Buntis. And now, they want to destroy my person, my credibility. They say I’m a liar and mentally ill. Just recently, they came out with an open letter attacking me, and they sent it to all government agencies. Every now and then I also receive death threats.

How did your family take this?
They are supporting me fully. In the beginning, they were affected by the attacks of the DOH, but they support me all the way. We are closer now than we’ve ever been before. What do you suggest to those health workers who also want to oppose the program? There are already a number of health workers who want to come with me in opposing Ligtas Buntis. I told them not to worry since I talked to some lawyers in Manila who assured us of their support. You can never be imprisoned for following your conscience.

How do you view the church’s pronouncement that health workers advocating Ligtas Buntis should refrain from taking communion? I agree. Because supporting Ligtas Buntis makes them anti-life and is an indirect way of promoting abortion, and that is a mortal sin.

Any message to your detractors?
I’ll just pray for them.

Contraception: The root cause of the Anti-Life culture

2007-11-22T14:51:00.000+08:00

"Contraceptive ethic is predictably a suicide pact. Any group that refuses to reproduce itself will disappear."

NO CONTRACEPTION. Some couples choose not to use any contraception. This is because some families see the obviously better, proven, long term, multi-generational benefits of using NO CONTRACEPTION. This is not necessarily because they want to get pregnant, but for a variety of reasons including personal convictions, religious beliefs, or even medical considerations. Couples who thoughtfully choose not to contracept are open to the possibility of children. This does not mean that they will have dozens of children; many non-contracepting women end up with only two or three children by the time they reach menopause, though some may have more and some may have none. A woman's choice not to use birth control should be respected. Usually she has given the matter much consideration and is trusting that she and her husband will be able to provide for however many children are given to them.

Natural Family Planning (NFP). Fertility awareness, or natural family planning, has been used successfully since the 1930's to predict a woman's fertile days. These methods are based on the fact that fertilization is most likely to occur around the time of ovulation. Intercourse is avoided during those times when a woman is fertile, thus preventing conception. Fertility awareness methods are the only methods of birth control which require the cooperation of both partners. Advantages of NFP methods are that they are very inexpensive, do not require the use of artificial devices or drugs, and have no harmful side-effects. In addition, many people prefer a natural, mutual method of preventing pregnancy. Even if fertility awareness isn't used as contraception, every couple can benefit from understanding the workings of the woman's body.

Users of NFP tend to be very loyal, continuing to practice NFP longer than users of any other non-surgical, non-prescription method, which indicates high satisfaction among couples.

Journey of Life

Life begins at conception and ends at death. In between, life does not develop - it is simply there. "What does develop," says Sir William Liley, the New Zealand scientist who is internationally recognized as the "father" of the science of fetology, "is the morphological structure, the earthly home of life, the physiological performance of that structure, behavioral traits and personality." These are some of the milestones of the first nine months of life: Conception: Father's sperm penetrates mother's egg cell. Within the hour, genetic instructions from both parents interact to establish the design and inheritance of a new and unique individual - at this stage no bigger than a grain of sugar.

Thirty Hours :A few hours after the nuclei has fused, the fertilized ovum divides for the first time, with a powerful force.

Two Days :The division continue; four visible cells and perharps eight all together are on their way through the Fallopian Tube's thicket of cilia to uterus.

Four Days :Surrounded by its transparent wall, the zona pellucida , the blastocyst now glides in the uterus.

Eight Days :The blastocyst has landed! Like a raspberry on a cake, it sinks slightly into its foundation.

Three Weeks :The human embryo is barely 2 mm. (.08 inch) long. The genes have begun to concentrate development in the three germ (cell) layers from which all the body's organs are to merge.

Four Weeks :The basic human design is beginning to merge. The embryo shows the clear rudiments of brain and backbone.

Five Weeks :The embryo is five weeks old and appears like a bright dot in its membrane sac. The yolk sac, visible in the foreground , is the embryo's blood cell factory.

Six Weeks :The cells are seething with life, the heart is beating, blood is being pumped through the umbilical cord and the whole embryo is in constant motion.

Eight Weeks :Weightless, the embryo lies suspended in the amniotic fluid. This fluid with the salinity of the primeval sea protect the embryo's delicate organs and tissues against impacts and pressures

Four Months :Now the facial features are being modeled : the forehead is growing with the thread like blood vessel fully visible under the transparent skin.

Four and a Half Months :The body system are being tested. It moves and waves its arms. A finger touching its lips precipitates a slight sucking reflex.

Five Months :The fetus stretches, grasps and turns. All these movements are necessary for the development of fine motor ability.

7 months:Permanent eye teeth are present. Eyelids open and close, and eyes look around. Hands grip strongly. Mother's voice can be heard and recognized. The baby begins to accumulate some fat.

Thirty Five Weeks :Weight increases by 1kg (just over 2 lb) and the baby's quarters begin to get cramped

9 months:Labour begins (triggered by the child) and birth occurs, usually 255-275 days after conception. Of the 45 generations of cell divisions between conception and adulthood, 41 have taken place. The remaining four will occur during the rest of childhood and adolescence. The milestones listed above have been documented by scientific research. Slight variations of hours or days, may exist and future research using more sensitive methods may show that some of these milestones occur earlier than is now realized.

Parents: The Most Important Educators on Sexuality

2007-11-22T14:38:00.000+08:00

The task of forming healthy sexual attitudes and understanding in children is one of the most important role of parents. In providing an education on love and sexuality to their children, parents must begin by refuting the propaganda that outside "experts" can do the job better than they can.

It is imperative for parents today to investigate what is being taught in the name of sex education. Parents have a right to examine curricular materials and textbooks. They can and must talk to the teachers and principals about what they hope to communicate. And to look carefully for a hidden agenda such as pro-homosexual and lesbian behavior, the safe sex distortion, the belief that premarital sex is a freedom of choice, and any suggestions that pits teenagers against their parents.

In a recently held conference on family life, parent-speakers stressed on the following points on why the home is the best place to convey sex information to children.

Parents know their children better than anyone else, they know their maturity level as well as what language they understand. Also, parents are more likely to inject the moral aspects of sexuality that are so important to the development of a wholesome view of sex. This does not been that information about sex should not be taught at church and at school. But sex education at church an d school should be complementary to what the child receives at home, not given in place of it.

School sex education classes ignore individual differences among children and break down the natural modesty of boys and girls. When children are taught academics, such as Math and Reading, they are given materials suitable to their level of readiness for these subjects. Yet, when it comes to the extremely sensitive area of sexuality, all children in the same grade level are given the same material, even if some are not yet physically or psychologically ready for the material. This is insensitive and harmful. Forcing boys and girls to listen to, view and openly discuss the sexual functioning of the opposite sex's anatomy while in their presence is embarrassing and contributes to the breakdown of the modesty that is natural and appropriate in human beings.

What is taught and how it is taught -- in sex education classes are not immediately known in detail by parents. This means that there is absolutely no way parents can control, or even find out what their children are being taught about sex unless they sit in the classroom or when their teenage child asks them to buy condom or IUD to be brought to class as part of their homework.

School sex education has never been shown to reduce the growing problem of teen pregnancy or abortion. In fact, in the United States, data shows the opposite: as federal funding for sex education programs increases, so do the rates of teen pregnancies and abortions. This proves that the contraceptive mentality encourages the youth to become promiscuous.

Children do not need Sex Education, they need Chastity Education. Kids need to learn how to say no and why saying no is in their best interest -- physically, emotionally and spiritually. Sexuality involves more than birth control pills. The school sends the wrong message to students when their sex education courses are mere "how to do it and how not to get caught" lessons. If schools spend more time on chastity education, the number of chaste teens would rise dramatically.

There is no such thing as" value-free" sex ed. When anything more than the biology is taught, someone's values are going to be presented. Telling students to "make up your own mind" tells them there are no standards to go by. Telling students it's "best to say 'no,' but if you're going to be sexually active, be protected" send them the message that the teacher doesn't really expect them to control themselves. Presenting birth control without saying it's wrong for them to use it tells the students the teacher doesn't think it's wrong.

The best lesson in sex parents can provide their children is the love and respect they show for each other. Parents convey attitudes and values about life and sexuality as they interact with their children each day. They are always available to their children for support, questions and direction and have much wisdom to share that comes from the faithful living out of their commitment as husband and wife and as parents.

Tattoo for YEFTHA EMMANUEL...........

2007-09-13T13:40:00.000+08:00

Sudah setahun lebih anak aku passed away...kalau dia masih ada sekarang tentu dia sudah berjalan kan???I miss him...ya lah aku sangat-sangat mau ada baby boy ni...tapi apa boleh buat Tuhan sayang dia lebih lagi kan???I believed that our lovely Prince Yeftha Emmanuel sekarang di heaven dengan Daddy JESUS...

ingatkan mau buat tattoo special untuk Yeftha kan??? ada suggestion kah....Yeftha passed away last year on 15th May 2006 after 5 day survive in the incubator. He suffered brain damage due to immature birth (7 month). The brain damage is 4th degree for the left side and 3rd degree for the right side. The Doctor at that time inform me that the chances that he can make it is very-very little but i just leave it to Our Good God to deal with it. well Daddy Jesus, sayang him so much (as Mayr said), and now he's in Heaven....

Why Yeftha?????

I got this name from the book of the Kings....Yeftha is actually a warrior who make promise to God that if he won the battle what ever will come first to greet him on the he came back will be presented to God. and on the day itself , his only daughter come to greet him.and he KEEP his promise. Yeftha my son, will always obey what he has promised to return back to God for he knows God( Daddy Jesus) loves him so much.

Why Emmanuel???

Emmanuel means Jesus is always with him in what ever his situation....So i believe he's there now, with JESUS...

Father God, thanks You for the gift of life. May we will always continue to pray and obey you forever...

For YEFTHA (Tata..)

Papa, Mama & Mayr loves you so much...till we meet agin in heaven....

****actually aku nangis masa tulis ini post...i miss my boy very much.........Rasa-rasa mau buat tattoo untuk anak aku ni. Apa macam ok ker????

Body-Marking Lore of Tribal New Zealand
By Hoag Levins

Sept. 28, 2006 -->THE JOURNALS of Europeans who settled New Zealand in the 1800s record that the intricate facial tattoos of the native Maoris served not only as decoration but as
Photo: Hoag Levins -->
The top likeness of Tupai Cupa was drawn from life in 1826 during a visit he made to Liverpool England. The lower image is his own drawing of his facial tattoo that he used as a "signature." It's intricate detail was such a part of his sense of himself that he drew it freehand without consulting a mirror.
the individual's legal identity as well. In effect, the Maoris WERE their tattoos. For instance, whenever Tupai Cupa, a tribal chief, was required to sign his name to a European document, he painstakingly drew his entire facial design. At left is a drawn-from-life portrait of the chief as well as a copy of one of his "signatures" from the 1820s.
These facial tattoos -- so unique and culturally important they also served as the person's name -- were called "moko." The practice of using them as written signatures was a result of the Maoris' earliest encounters with British colonizers who ultimately took control of the country. The Europeans later recorded: "When the natives agreed to give the Marsden Mission the land it required and a deed was drawn, the missionaries were at a loss as to how get the document signed, as the Maoris could not write. Hongi suggested that the tattoo markings on the face of Kuna, the chief conveying the land, should be drawn on the deed ... the suggestion was adopted and this became the common way of signing Maori deeds in the early days."
Hongi was a powerful Maori chief in his own right who later became infamous among Europeans as the "Napoleon of the Maori." He befriended missionaries and was ultimately taken back to England to assist in translating the Bible into the Maoris' spoken language. While in London, he simultaneously studied European weaponry and warfare theories, ultimately arranging to have 300 muskets, gunpowder and ball sent back to New Zealand. There, upon his return, he embarked on campaigns of conquest against neighboring tribes who had only spears and war axes for weapons.
The use of full facial moko tattoos died out among the Maori by the end of the 1800s, although the native people continued tattooing other parts of the body. During the last three decades tattooing has experienced a cultural renaissance throughout New Zealand society. Artistically, the country's tattooing is so influenced by the patterns and traditions of the Maori moko past that it constitutes its own genre.
Maori designs are also one of the primary sources of the tribal tattooing that has become so popular in the United States and other countries in the last twenty years.

Bapa Tunggal...

2007-09-11T12:31:00.000+08:00

Pagi ini awal juga aku bangun walaupun selepas Cell Group malam tadik ada geng yang datang lepak di rumah makan MAGGIE Mee...lama tak makan sedap jugak rasanya kan.....

oh ya...awal pagi tadi aku bangun kerana ada assignment oleh biniku yang tercinta...CUCI BAJU...jeng.. jeng.. jeng apalagi... misi aku selepas saja bangun tidur terus saja buat laundry...2 baldi bah.
aku pulak buat kerja senyap-senyap takut anak aku terkejut bangun tidur. lepas cuci sempat pulak aku jemur baju aku tu...and then bawa si Bibi (anjing kami) keluar rumah untuk kencing dan berak.
Susah pulak rasanya tiada Mama di rumah ni kan???Biasalah selama ni dia yang buat semuanya.Dia pun pergi outstation sekarang ni tak sabar pulak aku tunggu hari khamis dia balik Bintulu ni.

Yakobus 2:14-17

2007-09-11T12:00:00.000+08:00

Malam tadi, semasa cellgroup FIAT inilah verse yang kita orang share dan bincang dalam group kita orang. Banyak juga yang share tapi aku pulak busy dengan Princess Mayr. Ya lah malam tadik Mayr pergi cellgruop dengan aku saja. mam sudah pergi outstation ke Kuching ada In-House training untuk kerja baru dia di HQ Kuching. Mama akan stay di Kuching samapai hari Khamis ni...so jadilah aku ni Bapa Mithali tek konon.....

Oh ya berbalik pada verse tu ya...kalau tak salah bunyinya macam ni "Iman tanpa perbuatan adalah Iman yang sia-sia". macam mana ya???? banayak persoalan yang boleh kita lihat dari verse ini bah....ianya macam kalau kita pergi ke Gereja saja tanpa mengimani nya pun tidak juga berguna. kesimpulannya kalau kita buat sesuatu itu hendaklah ada dasar yang kita yakin dan percaya akan perbuatan itu...tapi....kita juga harus ada actionnya kan????kalau tidak, tiada juga gunanya.

Malam tadik aku share banyak tentang perkataan IMAN itu sendiri ya lah kalau kita selami sebenarnya IMAN itu wujud atas 3 perkara:

1) Iman kerana Keluarga.
ya lah kalau kita ni macam Born Christian, ya lah lahir dalam keluarga kristen for sure kita ikut apa yang orang tua kita buat. kalau tidak macam mana ya...macam anak derhaka pulak rasanya. Kalau ikutkan hati, mungkin ada anak-anak kristen ini yang sebenarnya tidak mau ke gereja tetapi kerana ibubapa pergi mereka terpaksa pergi juga. Tapi orang lain lihat..baiknya anak ini kecil-kecil sudah ke gereja....

2) Iman kerana Kawan
Kehidupan ini sebenarnya banyak terpengaruh oleh kawan-kawan. kalau tiada kawan sunyi pulak rasanya kan?Jadi kalau kawan ke gereja aku pun ke gereja lah. Kalau nak melepak di rumah mungkin boring pulak rasanya. Jadi kalau tidak mau rasa boring ikut saja apa kawan buat. Lagipun kalau ke gereja dapatlah jumpa ramai kawan kan??? Tapi niat sebenarnya bukan mau ke gereja. Ya lah kalau ke gereja lasan itu sungguh baik untuk dapat APPROVAL keluar rumah dari ibu bapa kan???

3) Iman kerana PERCAYA (diri sendiri)
Iman inilah yang terpenting sekali. Ia wujud atas dasar individu itu sendiri yang MENGALAMI cintakasih Tuhan itu sebagai Penyelamat, Penebus dan Cahaya dalam kehidupan mereka. Iman ini timbul kerana individu tu sendiri yang haus kan cintakasih Tuhan itu...Individu ini tak perlu dijemput ke gereja kerna kedatangan (attandance) mereka sudah tentu CONFIRM setiap kali ada kebaktian....

dalam sharing aku juga semalam aku bercerita tentang ceritera-ceritera dalam alkitab itu sendiri di man perkataan IMAN itu sering kali dirujuk dan ditampilkan sebagai sesuatu yang amat penting...Yesus serinmgkali berkata dalam banyak kejadian bahawa IMAN adalah sangat-sangat pentinmg sehinggakan dengan IMAN yang sekecil biji sawi kita dapat memindahkan gunung, meratakan bukit bahkan meringankan beban orang lain. WOW besar sekali mukjizatnya kan????

Dalam kejadian pelacur yang diterima kembali setelah menangis kaki YESUS, mengelapnya dengan rambutnya serta meminyaki kaki YESUS dengan minyak wangi di rumah Simon, orang buta disembuhkan dan orang lumpuh yang dapat berjalan perkata yang sama keluar dari mulut YESUS..."Iman mu telah menyelamatkan engkau" maka dengan ungkapan YESUS dalam 3 kejadian yang berbeza ini sebenarnya menekankan betapa pentingnya IMAN itu untuk kita menjadi anak murid Tuhan yang baik sambil itu barulah kita layak memanggil Allah itu BAPA.

"Terima kasih, Bapa atas rahmatMu yang tidak berkesudahan untuk kami umat-umatMu , yang sering kali degil dan mau mencoba kesetiaanMu kepada kami tanpa melihat akan rahmat yang telah Engkau curahkan.Ajar kami Tuhan agar kami dapat mengimani setiap perbuatan kami terhadap saudara-saudara kami di sekeliling kami agar kami dapat hidup dalam cintakasihMu yang setia dan segar. Begitu juga Tuhan pimpinilah kami agar dalam setiap langkah kami, kami senantiasa mel;etakkan Engakau menjadi ketua yang memimpin kami , agar kami tidak berfikir hanya untuk diri kami sendiri tetapi dalam memuliakan namaMU" ,Amin.

Matthew 11:28

Last nite masa cell FIAT bincangkan...banyaklah sharing-sharing yang kita orang dengar malam tadik. Oh ya our cell group malam tadik kita adakan di rumah si Lee & Alice. Thanks ya..you two for the refreshment yang sadap....ada birthday cake lagi tu...untuk si Alice...Kamu mau tahu lagu semalam macam macam untuk dia punya birthday????

YESUS selamatkan kamu
YESUS selamatkan kamu
YESUS selamatkan ALICE JUMAN
YESUS selamatkan kamu......

oh ya pasal qoutation semalam..hampir lupak pulak aku ni...
ya lah banyak masa kita selalu saja lupa akan Tuhan especially kalau kita senang, tapi masa kita susah baru kita ingat Tuhan kan?? So actually ni sharing malam tadik banyak menyentuh hati yang hadir abis itulah yang banyak terjadi. Masa hepi lupa Tuhan , masa SUSAH ingat Tuhan. Tapi the important message of last nite sharing adalah Tuhan itu walaubagaimanapun kita LUPA Dia, Dia selalu ingat kita.

last time i used to refer God JESUS as my PUNCHING BAG, ya lah masa aku susah banyaklah question aku tanya Dia, bukannya satu malah bertubi-tubi aku tanya Dia. Walaupun banyak jawapan yang Dia beri tapi aku terus kritik Dia. Kasihankan Tuhan YESUS...tapi di tetap SABAR ngan aku tok...Bila aku renung balik semua itu, baru aku sedar yang Tuhan sebenarnya mahu aku SABAR dan YAKIN akan Dia. Ya lah dah lah yang aku minta tu pulak yang bukan-bukan , mana mungkin Dia bagi semuanya. Semua yang aku minta tu pun hanyalah WANTS sahaja bukannya NEEDS.Thanks God for the qoutation untuk aku belajar lebih matang lagi...

Kalau mau diingatkan banyak sekali masa aku cemuh Tuhan akan keberadaan aku ini. yalah selalu saja aku pikir kalaulah aku begini begitu tidaklah aku susah sangatkan???macam itulah banyaknya soalan yang ada pada aku...Tapi sekarang ni baru aku sedar yang menSYUKURi rahmat yang Tuhan berikan itulah yang lebih penting. GOD knows what to give to His people
because our life's is planned by Him....

My God, Saviour JESUS Christ, i thank you for everything in my life.

To the sources of faith

2007-08-27T16:08:00.000+08:00

“Right at the depth of the human condition, lies the longing for a presence, the silent desire for a communion. Let us never forget that this simple desire for God is already the beginning of faith.”

Many people like to follow the short daily Bible readings that are read at the noon prayer in Taizé. For each month, a Bible text together with a short commentary and questions for reflection – a way of seeking God in the midst of daily life.

There are regular articles on basic questions of faith and believing: The Cross, The suffering of the innocent, Love of enemies, Christian hope…

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii....hiii...hiiii.......

2007-08-27T15:59:00.000+08:00

Failure...........13 on going 30

2007-08-16T08:37:00.001+08:00

Last nite aku ngan bini ku tengok this movie and i was struck to one of the conversation between mother and daughter regarding failure. As usual the daughter would say that if we can go back to the past for sure can having a better life (happy) Such as we can study hard, appreciate more, giving more and love more.Even that daughter asked her mother of what thing in the past the the mother want to change in her life.

To her suprise the mother said to her there's nothing that she wanted to change eventhough the life's shen went through is full of challenges. WHY?????the daughter ask again...Don't you want to have a good life????she replies....If i were to change my life for sure i'm not going to have you...But that is not the issues...It is because if we don't fail we will never be matured.Actually Failure is the no.1 teacher in the world.Bila saja abis that conversation, i just cannot imagine Our God is actually work through anything (indirectly) to teach us.My Good JESUS never tired teaching me. TQ Jesus.

Last time, aku juga punya parable tentang Failure ni....very simple kerna aku anggap semua orang buat salah.jadi ianya sebenarnya begini..

Kalau you buat salah sekali than you only make MISTAKE
Kalau you buat salah 2 kali than you make CARELESS
Kalau you buat salah 3 kali than you are S_u_i_ *****i just don't want to sya the word...
In a way i saw mine one is very rude to actually appreaciate the gift of life kannn....????
Once again TQ Lord for last nite movie.

Somet Ohhhh SOMET...

2007-08-13T15:22:00.000+08:00

Last aku ajak lah kawan-kawan kau datang berambeh kat rumah. Maklumlah dah lama tak jumpa diaorang ni. ya lah lebih kurang 2 minggu dah tak jumpa. Antara kawan-kawan yang datang tu tidak lain dan tak bukan si COMEL....

Last nite tak tahu apalah yang jadi masa dia mauk datang ke rumah aku. Mungkin dia rushing kot. Semalam masa kat gereja semasa servis aku ada kata kat si Comel ni " ehh..misai kau dah panjang lah, bila mau cukur???, nantilah jawapnya...
So malam tadi masa tengah tunggu Mama prepare makanan di dapur sedang aku dan Princees Mayr tengok TV, Si Comel pun datang. Kami pun duduk di living room sama-sama sambil tunggu mama prepare the food. Dengan tidak sengaja aku tengok dia punya misai hanya sebelah saja yang sudah di cukur...Waduhhhh..apa sudah jadi ni?????Bila aku tegur barulah dia perasan yang dia terlupa lagi sebelah bahagian misainya itu. You people just imagine dari rumah dia datng ke rumah aku ni dengan sebelah lagi misainya belum bercukur...Nasib baik tak pergi mengorat anak dara orang or pergi ke supermarket. Aku gelak cukup-cukup kat dia malam tadik...actually sekarang pun aku tersenyum kodok ingatkan cerita malam tadi...

oh yaa...lepas aku tegur tu cepat-cepat dia minta kalau-kalau aku ada pisau cukur..aku kata tak ada. ya lah sengaja mau tunggu kawan-kawan yang lain untuk tengok. Tapi mama tak sampai hati lalu beri Si Comel pisau cukur baru. Terus saja dia capai pisau cukur tu and shave dia punya SOMET tu........Mana tidaknya sebelum tu cakap pun tutup mulut dengan T-shirtnya takut orang nampak dia punya misai yang sebelah belum bercukur...heh..he..he..he....

Moral of the story...periksalah misai anda sebelum keluar selepas bercukur...takut ada yang belum bercukur...COMEL...thanks for that incident....LAWAK lah....

10 Principles of Youth Work.

2007-08-13T11:37:00.000+08:00

1. Everything must align with the vision and mission.
- This presumes a clear vision and mission statement.

2. Share the work.
- Delegate as far down as we can.
- Encourage initiative.
- Take calculated risks with "new kids on the block."
- Observe the principle of subsidiarity.

3. Multiply yourself.
-Train people.
-Take care of our volunteers.
-Raise up new leaders. -
-No one should be indispensable. "People can't give what they don't have."

4. Serve the needs of your "market."
- Since our "market" is the youth, our services, and the "packaging" of our services, need to appeal to them.
- Pay attention to creating an attractive youth environment; harness music and organize activities appealing to youth.

5. New projects and outreaches must be sustainable.
- Personnel and/or financial sustainability.
- Aim for medium-term or long-term sustainability.

6. Our leadership is primarily spiritual and moral.
- It's not just functional or organizational. We lead by word and by example.
- It's important that we become good models by our life.

7. Review our programs and strategies regularly.
- Look out for new trends, needs, opportunities.
- Keep on improving on what we're good at.
- Be willing to go through "organized abandonment."

8. Decentralize.
- Raise up local leaders.
- Local chapters should be as self-sufficient as possible.

9. Network with others.
- Other people or groups may have what we don't have - get help!

10. Trust in the Lord.
- If it's truly God's work, He will provide whatever lack we may have.
- We can only do as much as what the Lord wants of us.

Busy Gegiler.......

2007-08-09T16:08:00.000+08:00

Aktiviti ni miri nih punyalah aku ni busy gegiler.......aku tak cukup tidur...terlebih makan dan adalah sikit-sikit enjoy...well aku punya falsafah dalam busy-busy nia ialah..Work with the crazy ppl but don't become CRAZY....nantilah lain kali aku explain pasal falsafah aku ni.....

Friendly Mirian......

2007-08-03T08:09:00.000+08:00

Yesterday pagi aku jalan-jalan dekat kawasan ofice aku kat miri ni. Actually aku datang awal sangat around 7.15 am, so kerna tak ada orang di office aku pun bergeraklah ke kawasan dekat-dekat situ. Yalah mana tahu ada barang-barang yang baik dan unik di Miri ni. Sambil tu aku pun mau cari tali jam aku untuk gantikan yang sudah putus tempoh hari.

Sampai saja satu kawasan dekat Tamu Kedayan banyak juga orang yang mula senyum kat aku. Aku tau masa masih lagi awal dan awek-awek yang senyum tadi aku ingat tunggu di depan kedai mereka tu sementara tunggu taukey diaorang dapang buka kedai. Makin aku jalan lalu lorong kaki lima kedai tu makin banyak pulak awek-awek yang senyum sehingga lah pada satu lorong tu aku kena sapa Peeeewiitttt........aku pun toleh lah ke belakang...ingatkan ada kawan lama aku kat Miri ni yang panggil aku...Mana tau kan??? Tapi rupa-rupanya awek yang tadi...Now aku paham lah apa sebenarnya businees kat situ..Aku lepas tu terus saja berjalan balik ke office aku, lagipun masa dah hampir 8.00 am.

Sesampai di office aku tanyalah colleague aku apa hal dengan awek-awek tersebut...Mereka bagitau "kau tak tau ka???Itu tempat jual daging bah..." wow...heran juga aku awal-awal pagi pun sudah bukak business huh...

Malam tadi pulak aku pergi lagi that area dengan driver off aku. ada juga awek-awek tersebut...Muda-Muda lagi hoo...Cantik lagi tu....so kawan aku suruh la aku tanya...Dia cakap RM 70.00 per Shot...tapi boleh kurang RM 60.00 itulah the lowest katanya. Pelat awek tu macam orang indon jer...I just Wonder how cheap is our dignity huh...kalau macam beli daging tu around RM 1.40 or Rm 1.20 saja harganya per Kilo. Based on berat badan lebih kurang 48-50 kgs. Tak lama lepas aku tanya tu ada orang datang terus approach that awek and terus saja dia naik ke atas untuk bERTUGAS...

Ya lah kalau di pikir-pikir senang juga kerja mereka untuk dapat duit ho..Aku ngan kawan aku semasa balit ke hotel sempat buat calculation berapa agaknya pendapatan awek tu sebulan based on 5 orang sehari (RM 10,500.00) WOW...macam gaji CEO you...
Apa-apa pun i just terkilan akan perkara begini masih lagi terjadi sedangkan banyak lagi kerja yang HALAL yang kita boleh lakukan. apatah lagi mereka ni masih lagi muda dan cantik..
Hope that we pray for this culture not be going on and on in our community. But i just wonder if there's no demand takkan ada supply kan????

PONY TAIL OH...PONY TAIL....

2007-08-02T14:18:00.000+08:00

I wonder most of us pasti tau & pernah dengar this word..Pony Tail...tapi malam tadi masa pegi karaoke with my friend, si Comel & Jack...kita orang lepaklah di pub (Latong Cafe, Miri)..
Beer nya di sana tu murah saja...about RM 24.00 per set..botol tiger kecik lagi tu..apalagi kita belasah lah minum terus dari botol...

Mau dijadikan cerita adalah satu orang waiteress tu pakai baju yang tulisannya betul-betul kat "Breast"nya...dah lah bajunya pun seksi and this waiteress pun tak putus-putus layan kami punya meja...satu masa tu datanglah kegilaan aku lalau aku tanya si Comel....Kau pernah dengar word PONY BREAST kah???? apalagi dia pun tak paham sehinggalah that girl lalu dekat kami...

last nite aku tak bawak aku punya kamera kalau tidak...bolehlah aku show gambarnya kat sini...
Hidup PONY Breast!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-08-01T14:15:00.000+08:00

Yesterday me and my brother join our old friends main hockey di KSL( Kelab Shell Lutong).
My friend call me bagitau ada game hockey, so aku cepat-cepat inform my brother ada game dia pun apalagi tak lepas peluang mauk main...
Aku pulak sempat grab T-shirt jer dari office untuk main. Seluar???? aku pakai my office punya seluar and guna kasut kerja "my safety boot"

Kawan bapa aku tu masih lagi diam...
kami yang round table to semua cari apa yang jatuh tadi tu......semua orang tengok bawah meja...
kawan bapa aku: gigi palsu saya mana....
la....yang jatuh tadi rupa-rupanya bukannya peluru tapi gigi palsu kawan bapa aku tu...
sibuk kami cari tapi tak jumpa...
at last jumpa kat pinggan dia....

sebenarnya masa dia makan , mungkin terlalu sedap kot dia tarik kuat-kuat dengan giginya tapi maklumlah daging pekasam tu masih liat...tak sedar si kawan tu sehingga tercabut gigi dia...
semua orang masa makan tu buat selamba. Aku pulak dalam hati aku tergelak macam nak gila...
nak ketawa kena respect jugak our guest kan....

Lepas tu...ada kawan dia call dari Cambodia...punyalah bising rumah kami dengan longhat Cambodia dia...tunjuk terror kot...aku pulak tergelak dengar dia cakap ngan kawan dia dalam HP..dia...macam bunyi cakap orang Thailand ada gak aku dengar..kap..kap...trong..peng..ada lah macam tu rupa bunyinya..

2007-07-24T09:05:00.000+08:00

Yesterday i've to rush back home after my work...reach home about 7.35 pm. my daughter pulak bagaikan parasit terus tidak mau jauh dari saya. ya lah...yesterday aku tak balik for lunch so dia marah lah kat aku kata aku tak sayang kat dia...eh..eh..eh.. sensitif gak anak aku tok...

oh...ya.. after the superlah rushing aku ya...terus ajak ke dapur dengan office ware aku tak sempat mauk tukar dan terus memasak...2 resipi je..itu pun sayur jak...masak "stir fry pork baby kailan" & french bean...al maklumlah malam ni ada orang mauk birthday kan....si apon...yang COMEL...he..he..hanya aku dan biniku saja yang tau isu COMEL ni.....

Around 8.00 pm while aku tengah memasak my friends (the FIAT youth) pun datang lah ke rumah for the Cell Group Prayer Meeting. Meriah jugak kami malam tadi...And last nite infact i was really a good one because first time my bini...leads the prayer (Praise & Worship)...masa praise & Worship tu pun sempat juga dia tengok-tengok kat aku takut salah katanya. But as i said to her: "if you don't start or experience it yourself you'll never will so at last dia kata seronok juga lead ni' ADDICTED.

Masa Sharing juga last nite was really... interesting. Usually pada masa yang lepas our group ni tak lah banyak bercakap so last nite i bahagikan mereka dalam group kecil and share. At last sampai tak cukup masa pulak kerana everybody want to share..THANKS GOD for that.Our reading for last ialah dari Matthew 12: 38-42.Kalau ada masa tu bacalah ok????

For our intercession prayer which i lead last nite, kita ada 2 special prayer iaitu for the group (FIAT) and for the Sick especially for our Aunty Rebecca...We also last nite pray for our Sister Angeli yang mau further study di UNISEL, selangor, Adiknya, Diah, yang mau bekerja di Pekaka Estate, Diana & Mira for God's plan in their life.

Lepas tu, apa lagi kami ada SUPRISE b'day party untuk si COMEL.....last nite infact ada 3 orang yang sambut b'day iaitu si COMEL, Boniface Kimura & Jacob....

My princess last nite bukan main enjoy lagi dia. yalah mau BLOW urang punya b'day cake akan...lepas tu makan pun minta kena suap saja. Teruk si Stancy jadi mangsa nya. Lepas tu main icing cake dengan si COMEL pulak tu....

Oh ya....last nite really enjoy tau..but..today kena outstation again ke Miri..esok baru balik...I'm gonna miss my 2 Princess....malam ni..

Pray where ever you are...

2007-07-20T12:27:00.000+08:00

ini adalah sebahagian dari gambar yang ada di Taize Village di Perancis...Berdoalah bila kita rasa kita ada masa, suka, duka, geram dsbnya kerna Yesus akan DENGAR suara hati kecil kita...jangan banyak tanya sama ada Tuhan itu DENGAR atau tidak sebab DIA tahu segalanya....

Ya lah...cuba kita imagine orang dari around the world datng ke Taize ni hanya bertujuan untuk berdoa...they can really spend just to go there and pray..ya lah..kita tak da duit...tapi mana-mana pun kita beloh berdoa kan??Asalkan it come really from our heart...tapi jangan lupa berdoa untuk orang lain juag ok???jangan untuk diri sendiri saja...

actually aku rindu mama & mayr nih...Dear Lord, thanks for everything especially for this beautiful gift of Mama & Mayr (my 2 PRINCESS)...masa aku tulis ni actually aku masih lagi outstation di Miri...Good news esok aku balik BINTULU....

Mari kita SENYUM...

2007-07-12T16:08:00.000+08:00

Ini adalah keratan artikel yang gua baca pasal volunteerism. Lama juga tidak buat kerja-kerja sosial ni.Semenjak gua resign dari welfare office dulu. Rindu juga nak buat kerja-kerja sosial ni. ya lah kalau betul-betul kita lihat dan tengok banyak sumbangan yang kita boleh beri pada orang di sekeliling kita. Contohnya mulakan dengan senyum. Sebab kalau kita senyum at least ada juga orang yang gembira. Lagipun senyum pun bukannya ada modal.Janganlah tamak untuk senyum walaupun pagarmu sidak tiada.Actually kalau pagar sudah tiada lagi bagus bikin kasi orang lihat kita senyum...kan? kan?...

Diana Oh..DIANA....
