Relationship
We see couples glued to each other in public.
Sometimes, they have their hands all over each other.
Other times, they are kissing so passionately that makes passers-by feel uncomfortable.
Public Display of Affections. How far is too far? This website discussed this topic. Good to take a look.
In summary, that article "How far is too far?" is telling us that when we set boundaries, we are obsessed with whether we crossed it. But rather than coming up with a list of dos and don'ts, we should keep in mind this question: What builds up, honors and promote Christianity growth?
For the non-Christians out there, I think it is also the same(maybe except for the promote growth part).
If we love that special someone, we would do what is best for him/her. Honoring him/her could mean giving due respect.
My favourite line of that article: "I wish I could just say use common sense, but one reader recently sent us a note saying that although he and his girlfriend do not have sex, they enjoy cuddling nude with one another, so apparently common sense is not enough."

Looking good!
Why do women dress up?
Why should women dress attractive and put on make up?
Someone told me that she feels that it is unecessary.
The bible actually has 2 references as to how a lady should dress.
In 1 Peter 3:3 : "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes."
and
in 1 Timothy 2:9-10: "I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God."
Though I agree to the scriptures above, I think that in society today men or women, we have to dress appropriately for different occasions. It is like a form of respect to yourself and to the people out there. We don't have to dress in Chanel or Gucci but at least make yourself presentable and pleasant looking.

Self deception.
My pastor said that when you do not practise what you already know what is right, that is self deception.
Self-deception is the worst.
The Lord says in Revelations 3:20,
" Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.".
Basically, God is patiently waiting for us to open our doors to Him. He will not force open the door if you don't want to see Him. He is gentle and not violent. You have to invite Him into your heart willingly.
Once you open your heart to let Him in, and want to make contact with God; God will draw even closer to you.
Right now, is your door opened?

Regret is an illusion.
It depends on what might have been.
And that is a waste of time.
And that is a waste of time.

Silence.
One can only appreciate tranquillity when noise becomes unbearable.

Being Blessed.
When you're feeling blessed and contented,
the Devil seeks ways to destroy that.
That's what I feel.

A Time for Everything.
taken from the Bible(NIV) Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 Verses 1-8
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
So what is for now?

Ashamed.
Looking back, I feel ashamed for being selfish.
for not having a bigger heart.
for the wrong decisions that I've made.
for giving into temptation.
But I thank God for giving me chances to return to Him.
Though He forgives and His grace is more than enough,
there are punishments/consequences to face.

Life and Death.
We all have to die someday.
But when will it be?
We wouldn't know till the time comes...
While waiting, what are you doing with your life?

Forgiveness.
I wrote this about a year ago. Just wanted to share(:
Forgiveness.
Maybe he didn't mean it.
All those nasty things he said.
Or are those nasty things not nasty things?
At least not to him, I think.
How about the sweet nothings that he whispered?
Did he mean them?
Oh why! Why did she put all those things in her heart?
Her delicate heart, Hurts.
But who would notice the tears that dried?
Who can see beyond that lovely smile?
Memories, let it pass.
Let time dissolve every memory.
Then, forgiving him for the hurt is easy.
But how to forget the excruciating pain when the heart was hurt?

What are the odds?
I went to a place that I haven't been to for more than a year.
And I saw someone who lives in that area.
I didn't expect it.
I didn't want to look.
