its never enuf

wondered how anything you did was just.." insufficient " ?
its hard when one strive to do their best in making things better..
sometimes it may just turn out - -worse. so what will you hold on to when its just neverrrrr enough?

guess its easier to view how YOU initiate your conduct, deeds , words, actions and from there its ezier to abandon what seemingly never enough in other's view.
one on being consistent of what makes you.

choked

Somehow or another we've been pushed to the end of a cliff of agility, and its incredible how a crafty game can steer an individual's aim, direction, focus & decision in just a matter of seconds. choices for one to live

A blissful life through an aim for freedom,choked by demands of community.

or

Choking demands of community with an aim for freedom through a blissful life?

choked?

surreal

wow!
its been for weeks & months ive tried to grasp what is happening around me but i just cant.been there? finally the mysteries are unfolding but yet
on the other end, its just so - - out of this world!

the absence of those thrill,random moments,leaves one hanging in mid-air and so wanting for more.but then tilting to steep ends of the measuring rod, you getha see cheaters,gamblers trotting their wits through politics, friends & enemies.
a hopeless lil' bunch of crap-pers dont you think?

nevertheless, im really enjoying every bit of this surreal walk :P
accompanied by unfathomable sentiment & jewels that are made of amazing stories.

- - j o u r n a l s - -

a crib we loose ourselves to pen down uncertain feelings, gossips, dramas & long
auditions of group meetings,funn-y, lame, exciting, melancholic, dull etc characters we had to meet in earning our trusts.

some individuals left their lurve bites while others avenged to meet us where 'it' so called began.

hmm... journals . our best friend and enemy.

the most exciting journey for me started when i came back from the states in which i had the opportunity to balance out the boring familiar work routines,and venture into the new exciting and random grounds of crimes ;P
don't most of us do?

journals.

CHINA ready for the OLYMPICs!

...WOOO HOOO hahahahhahahah!

jive

....jive jive jive

pressure eh?
here's a lesson to remember :

" w h a t e v e r"

When people are watching your every move,
parroting your conversations (maybe plagiarizing your blog..losers eheh)
expecting an outstanding conduct or speech out of you in which they themselves fail to live up to,
and mimicking from every hem of your clothes to the very strand of your hair,

...here's a video for ya.

enough is enough.
reserve your brain space for worth while moments than wasting it for their nuisance.
hahah
enjoy!

Dont we all like them?

what weights good or bad plots in a story?
...Critics!
They have been always been our arbiters of ethnicity, the ultimate interpreters of intellectual dialogue.

Sadly most of us have not spend time understanding how perilious it may be when we choose to set in one's views and not weighing the reality of consequences on others.

Crust for film critics:
As the late critic Kingsley Amis put it:
"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Whether critics are irritants or masters of elucidation, opinions still matter.
But no one is respected simply because of the authority of the institution they write for. The Web isn't the enemy of critical thinking. The land of a million blogs is a medium brimming with opinion. What's different is the reader gets to decide whose opinion matters the most. It's a big adjustment, but maybe it's time critics, like many artists, realize they should pay more attention to their audience.

stalkerazzi

BEWARE OF THEM.
THEY CARRY DEADLY VIRUS in their mouths.. haha
heres some tips surviving paparazzis or stalkerazzis in your life :P
enjoy!
#tip 7 is quite interesting.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stalkerazzi is a portmanteau of stalker and "paparazzi" and as the name implies signifies those whose techniques tend toward invading personal space and privacy although as some do make a living at this it can be interpreted as just doing a job. The term has gained usage in reference to popular culture figures like celebrities and people made famous through media and news events.

From popular translation for Paparazzis/stalkerazzis :
KEPOCIs are broadcasters of nuisance, lack of attention and suckers to booze their esteem through rumours, gossips & uses techniques that usually leaves the victim obligated to say "no". Loves politics & can "man"- -euver truths for lies without remorse.

heres from Uncyclopedia & some interesting tips:
When cannibalism was outlawed in 1954, the Paparazzi tribe was forced to resort to alternate methods of soul consumption. While before, they were able to absorb the life essence of their foes by eating their flesh, they were left after the cannibalism ban with no legal means of maintaining the life essence status quo. In 1956, however, as unrest among the tribe threatened to destroy it from within, Federico Fellini, a highly respected elder, discovered that the camera had the ability to steal a victim's soul without physically harming their body, thus providing a comparatively simple and legal means for the Paparazzi tribe to uphold its traditions and feed its children. (The children are responsible for providing their own beverages, however. Two-liter bottles of soda are popular; their favorites are Big Red, Dr. Pepper, an Orange Crush, the same favorites as Black People. If someone has ice, all the better.)

The probability of surviving a Paparazzi attack is very low.
If you follow theese tips you just might live.

Tip #1: Ignore them.

Tip #2: Don't act suspicious.

Tip #3: Don't talk to them.

Tip #4: Don't try to attack them. (Brittney Spears once tried this with an umbrella and you remember what happened to her.)

Tip #5: Keep moving.

Tip #6: Don't go into your car untill you leave, and when you do, drive away slowly.

Tip #7: When driving away, resist the urge to run one of them over.

Tip #8: Don't be out for to long or to short.

Tip #9: Absolutely, whatever you do, do not ever have a baby bump.

Tip #10: Don't live in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or Los Angeles.

sweeeets!

Bible look up
Proverbs 16:24 (New International Version)
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."


hmmmmmm.....
many sweet things has been filling laps of siesta lately
here are some highlights of the month.

SWEET TOOTH
definately interesting to have sweet-tooth :)baskin robbin's rum & raisin is a sure thumbs-up!but nothing beats the good affordable oreos McFlurry at Mackers.. YUMMY!

GREAT COMPANY
Other 'sweet delicacies' that we constantly savour is being with a great company, experiences & recording memorable events..a good friend of mine commented that no matter how sucky u may be in an event,so long the company is nice, it just doesnt bug. :) So true

TIME & MONEY
another adds to the comment:time seems more precious than money.
time is life.
money is an object.

SCENT
source: exploring the psychology of scent by Kristen cole

Scent can sum to the whole picture too.
People generally do not give much thought to their sense of smell beyond the pungent odor of a durian or of baking of big apple bagles. Given the choice to lose a big toe or the sense of smell, said Herz, the responses are split down the middle. People would choose the big toe, she said.

But those who lose their sense of smell because of accident or illness also report a loss of emotional richness and, over time, a loss of emotional intensity toward life, according to Rachel Herz. Experiences are flatter, they report.

Herz studies many components of scent-triggered memories. How does the emotional intensity of reaction to a scent compare to the emotional intensity of a memory triggered by a visual cue or word? How accurate is a memory triggered by scent, and how does context influence the perception of odors?

Researchers know that odors don't trigger memories that are any more accurate than the memories triggered by other stimuli, but odors do trigger memories that are more emotional.

So since sweet life long delicacies involves,
great company & time, scent - - are you at the right place,with the right people and the right scent ? - -sweeeet!

slackers

it is getting weirder & weirder when ministry reach-within-ministry.
how small can we be?
what is pioneering when expansion is some mere schemes & plans of temporal promotion?
dignity? least on the list.
funny how the out come would be .
we hear about it in and out"sowing and reaping". Now that would be an interesting sight if this continues.
more distorted growth & stench of some fungi!
my pity to the workers involved in these damp places.

why slack when theres so much to give?
so many new ones to discover and new platforms for growth & expansion.
Small thinkers? or lazy workers?
pure slackers :P

COLD silence

Cold silence breaks the noise in my heart.
Where places for'shelter' turned into dens of violence&control.
Road blocks everywhere . No where to run.
Resistence. Menace.Tension.

What is 'hope' when great-visionary messages sold at pulpits fail to see reality
through broken lenses infront of them?

Unsafe cribs, wrapped in dirty blankets surrounded by practitioners of violence, hate & murder.

Building a facet for the world to see how noble we can be through our beliefs?
Accrediting pins of achievement on the uniform?
Medals of honor or horror?

.. ONE thing I know.Christ died for something..
CHANGE is COMING.

Reflecting the song from Jars of Clay -

From the album Jars Of Clay

Arms nailed down

Are you looking for someone?

This is the one thing
The one thing that I know

Blood stained brow
Are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood
Is it so elemental?

This is the one thing
The one thing that I know

Blood stained brow
He wasn't broken for nothingArms nailed down
He didn't die for nothing

This is the ONE THING
The one thing that I know

colors

Its funny how colors tells the mood,occasion and personality of a person.
"feeling blue...hot...etc,"
Colors have symbolism and color meanings that go beyond ink.

For eg. :
Cool Color Meanings (calming): Blue, Green, Turquoise, Silver
Warm Color Meanings (exciting): Red, Pink, Yellow, Gold, Orange
Mixed Cool/Warm Color Meanings: Purple, Lavender, Green, Turquoise
Neutral Color Meanings (unifying): Brown, Beige, Ivory, Gray, Black, White

here is some interesting article by David Johnson on Color Psychology


Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.


White Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. White reflects light



and is considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and is therefore more difficult to keep clean than other colors. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility.


Red The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations.
Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.

The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

Blue The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue

causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.


Green Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. However, seamstresses often refuse to use green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.


Yellow Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.

PurpleThe color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.



Brown Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful. Men are more apt to say brown is one of their favorite colors.



Now that you know, what color is on you now? :))

Roots :
FEB 14 are in ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15. Pope Gelasius I recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine's Day.
according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by that name.

One was a priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni, and of a third St. Valentine
almost nothing is known except that he met his end in Africa. Rather astonishingly, all three Valentines were said to have been martyred on Feb. 14.

Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270.
source://wikipedia.en
LEGEND 1
According to one legend, Claudius II had forbid marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death.

LEGEND 2
Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius, fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine." Probably the most plausible story surrounding St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros (passionate love) but on agape (Christian love): he was martyred for refusing to renounce his religion.

MARKINGS?
Embrace it as an opportunity to arouse situations?
Is it a day of remorse, sweet reminiscence?

When is ready or so it desires?
“First we make our habits, then our habits make us.”
Charles C. Noble

SOLOMON:
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.

4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
New International Version

3-4 Imagine! His left hand cradling my head,
his right arm around my waist!
Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem:
Don't excite love, don't stir it up,
until the time is ripe—and you're ready.

s i g n b o a r d s

Just the other day ..a good friend of mine reminded me on what we spoke --living a life that paints a direction - -like signboards

What signs do we point to?
Are they direct or misleading?
What does it mean?

My guess for now : we change our signboards from time to time.

At times we protest, stop , move on , make u-turns or stay pointing a direction.

Sign boards leaves the people one decision:
- to break the law the sign suggests or to follow it.

What signs are we putting up now?

Why does this Voice contends with every Thoughts?

It stalks you in that cold alley of mind with no witnesses to testify against it.
No one can see it and yet apparent when situation turns up AGAINST you.
Every niche of a second,sparks the bolts of Gloom.

Knowing it lurked the last time from a blind corner,so you stand ready to oppose.With clinched fist, all set in welcoming its attack, in that split moment, stale whispers from Positivity sets in.On the other side,daunted lyrics of Despair tuned up,louder and louder it gets till it overwhelmed Enthusiasm to fight. In the midst of confussion,the opponent gave great blows of Discouragement,Anxiety, and smacked down with sharp edges from Intimidation.

..left helplessly at the cold alley, suction to reality cuts in.
The Bruised unwinds the clock, Momentum sets the round for the next match and Choices begun.

Its not as easy as Phillippians 4:8
Think again.

HEAD above water

wondered how to stay blameless to the end of days,when all manuals to gear a good citizen fails?

heres a clue: Philippians 2:14-16

Rock bottom situations keeps our head above water.
contradicting?
NOT :)

spooky

"is that You God?"
This query exists in every Christian for the longest time!
And yet we can never come to a concluding statement.Interesting .The Bible ,a finished written work as it seems ;eaves an unfinished work where it continues to illuminates every part of the readers, gives new insights,rebukes and builds every spiritual ligaments in us as it is being read.

TIME.
Is the asset to distinguish His and ours.
Knowing someone is not an instant bite in a sachet.Instead its an investment of time, effort and interest .

Similiarly God is a person.
Are we madly in love with His interests? or Him?
Would we live sacrificially as He did? (Rom 15:1-7)
Do we all ever come to concluding end of knowing who He is?

heres a link for interest as to KNOWING HIS VOICE and OUR VOICE.
Look it up.

psychdelic moods

Har!
weirdos weirdos weirdos
dont they amuse you?
one minute they are high, one minute they are low
was in class yesterday and we had unique individuals!seriously unique!

dont we all have them in our routine daily 'life-classes'?

Today's bite: CONSISTENCY.
the best ground to stick to are those who are consistent in their actions..believe YOU me.haha.Otherwise welcome to PSYCHDELIC world.

here's something to amuse ya.i hope..hehe
Enjoy

BREAK free

stuck in-betweens?
there are times we are stuck in between truth & plots.

the difference between these two : integrity.

how often do we give thought to stand on what is just, true , noble and right or even as we read in phil 4:8 if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy to meditate on?

most fall in traps to feed their insecurity through forms of plots, strategies, manipulation and worst still politics. Definately a fine line for survival in the marketplace or even in peers, company but underneath lies dark secrets of pain, bitter-sweet experiences.

Breaking free from in-between situations can be very tough.
In battles there will be casualities and for a soldier to come our from a war without any form of scar (mentally or physically)would be the joke for the battalions.
what will you choose ? integrity or plots?

7 The scoundrel's methods are wicked,
he makes up evil schemes
to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just.

8 But the noble man makes noble plans,
and by noble deeds he stands.
Isaiah 32:8

shout it out?

listen up or shut up?
when was the last time you wished someone listens to you? your views?
it was taught that the best communication is actually to listen to what the other person is saying to you..but wouldnt that be unfair to yourself?

well we have heard countless times on the BLAME game.
I thought you said,she says, he says,we said.. come to think of it does it matter who say or not? we should look at what can be done or do.

interesting glimpse to look at for now:
how much we have contributed in the whole conversation.
heard of backing words with action?
perhaps its best to keep our words few?

Ecclesiastes 5:2
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

reset

WOW!!you found me!

hahah im back! haha not sure how frequent i would b able to blog
anyways,been idle observing behaviours, reading, watching and hehe..watching you:)

gosh where to start?
loads of happennings piling to our unpenned life-journals and my time away from blogging has been interesting..

some ..having to face hyped up term of emo-ing, lame, psychotic and definately a lot 'wanna-be's.hehe.
- all famous , noticed and i mean noticed haha
- all secure (you shine!seriously a lot of eyes are on ya.keep it up wei)
- all hidden/ mysterious & unnoticed
- all "i dontknow" & i dont care
some blogs are plain-o self promo..and others you would just fast foward?
there are interesting ones too that provokes thoughts and some savy ones.
heres the updates:
HOT, CHILLED, COOL and plain blur.

interesting.what is hot and what is cool?
some have sets standards higher, some lower and some just reset.
new beginnings , new trends, new look , new style?
for me its all a reset.
All over again.what about you ?

sniff of the day

..There are many scent as we journey life and one that catches most is stench.hehe strangely odor attracts more than perfume...This ties again to our 1st " mindset" .

so true that when Jesus said, which is easier? to say your sins are forgiven or " get up and walk" ? (luke 5:23, mark 10:25 there are others too..) many times we are guilty of passing judgments to people around us than broadening our mindset to kingdom living.

one who pens this is ..one too guilty as charged :P

one sniff we should ask ourself is " have i pour my most expensive jar of perfume on Him who deserves our wages, our hardships and our ALL, our repentance , our tears ... "

are we smelly? or are we scented to His fragrance? heheh that i am still bathing...Bathing in His showers of mercy and definately wiping scales of judgments OFF my eyes.. then only we smell good.

p.r.i.d.e

Pride is full of : Problems, Restlessness, Insecurity. Destructive & Exhausive.
* dedicated to ALLLLLLLLL leaders & leaders in the making.

There are many times we try to do things seemingly the best or right ...hehe but it is just not good enough. One thing for sure is PRIDE crept in the way of all your efforts .Plus being sandwiched with bad flavours of dislikes by "commentators", worst still from your very own sheeps..more so called goats, don't you think?

What are we to do about it? whine, complain ,cry?"spare the rod and spoil the child?" concept would work?- - ahh hemm.. NOT

If so we are in this ditch, one way of climbing out is our willingness to :Die
Cliche feedbacks : why not humility ? why end with "die" ?
Its not giving up the challenge but giving up :
entertaining problems that is piling, the restlessness of attending to ever " i want more of you" expectation cycle issues on their insecurity

rebuilding destructive efforts consciously or unconsciously by insecure sheeps
exhausive effort of building the characters in them & learn to REST in Him. One day there will come a time of FRUIT tasting. Then they will understand the correct way of planting, sadly for them , " all over again" with their teacher a.k.a you.

the question is : are we willing to repeat all the teachings again? Your answer will determine the outcome of them.
Mine : Yup.

If Christ went for 1 fr the 99, if just one is caught in the mouth of the lion, he will fight to redeem, what less are you from them? so lets be immitators of Him.

Jesus healed many yet they joined in the crowds , " crucify Him!"
He responded in death : To His rights & efforts. Trusting the best out from the time frame He had with the people..the best will come out from it.

Don't give up in hoping for their return, a regeneration, change.
God is never far from refurbishing His house. He did mention about making disciplines not entertaining disciples..
our role in keeping them is always packaged with burial of self rights because the resurrection of new breeds is coming. Now you can breathe :-)

Col 3:23

remnant of godly sorrows

" s i g h "

judging judging judging..

felt whenever you stand with someone you just wanna stay away?
your guts tells you , gosh this person stinks?

many at times we look at only one point of view : how people will change , act, think &judge like us. pride is the beginning of downfall . are you tired of being drained hanging with proud people?

familiar with these?
-------------------------
they never think they are wrong..
they seem to be always - -right.
their face is always craft in lines of sarcasm and silent voices in they minds are all out to wit, laugh and disrespect you?
they judge and condemn everything that moves ..(sadly even the very ones who feeds them )

we have heard of too many casualities of judas in the midst of our leaders .

ungrateful and greedy.

but even before we streamline these judas or so called religious teachers why not start first with us? what kind of judas' value could we be adapting consciously/unconsciously
- what has rob our focus from God's kingdom to our kingdom?

notice how God is not in the business of condemning but correcting.
He rebukes .He dont retrenched his own creation..haha..

when will there be a rise of peters than judas?
when will the time of repentance come?
how can revival come when there is no repentance.. how can we shout "repent" when we ourselves didnt check our very attitudes that stink?

teachers are always sharing than keeping "reserved" teachings of God.
we sing , "tell the world that Jesus lives"

how to tell?
when the ultimate purpose of sharing for some is to elevate self than shout out loud credit to Jesus who is the ONE brought about their change?
why condemn His creation, the people around them?
when He repeatedly taught us compassion?

how can He be shared when the very nails they plunge in their teachings or preaching per se are fruits of hate , dislikes than "compassion" and "repentance".

where has our focus steered to ?

thank God for our senior pastor who is a gracious father and his rebukes has brought about changes lives of many,including mine, but somehow there are a few judas seating in the crowd waiting to nail him out for the pride in which is eating them up by bits.

my question to leaders out there is this: have we checked the times of despair :

what went wrong, what have i done wrong God to produce offspring like these?
the best teaching ever and I quote from Ps Henry is " 2 nations are in the same womb" . God is gracious and slow in anger. all in all , another great papa Ps Charles shared his thoughts :

circumstances helped in shaping character in built by God
waiting to be activated.

many times groanings in my spirit for opened spiritual eyes.
to see that the more they are in service , the more they are to give than "reserved" God given insight. (Thank God they werent chosen to write the inspired words of God.imagine what kind of cult it would be? gosh ! )

its sickening to know believers are all out in their armour, polishing they armour, stand out in a crowd and forgetting the people with them..they stink in their armour.
do we stink in our armour ? are we questioning ourselves , checking ourselves first before labelling ourselves as imitators of Christ?

do we still dare to condemn or judge others in our "preachings" cos when a mirror is put upfront: they themselves are the one who is holding the stone than being so called teacher presenting preachings which they have not experience the pain of being stoned?

groans of a leader is always present crying for change not only in others but THEMSELVES. there are times we need to go on our knees . check ourself first. have we checked what are these groanings?

can we present them to God?
the anwer is : YES! thankfully , phew!

Godly sorrows brings about repentance.

God is gracious > > patience is one of the tools God is forming in our lives when all the hardships come. in Ps Charles Popson's book, " God is not finish with you" connotes that we have to go through wilderness seasons. if we arent careful we might just think it is our PLACE OF PROMISE, it is a deception of the enemy.

let us not be like the Israelites thinking they will never enter their promise land.
always grumbling and complaining.
Let us not give up or be weary in doing good.
let us be assured of this: God is able to steer all channels of challenges to channels of growth in our lives.. we need to check our attitudes. we need to humble ourselves and turn our ways and start having compassion than judgments lenses.

what remnant remains in you?
good? or otherwise?
