Foggy Morning

Foggy Morning



I reluctantly prepared my breakfast,
because I saw from my window that outside was still freezing
Anyway I'm glad that I made it and I'm now ready to work
It's indescribable how I miss my family back home, I will visit them soon
Well, I'm doing my best to finish the work here and pray that everything goes well
And so, I can have my vacation backhome peacefully

Thank God for giving me new inspiration and motivation every morning

Panelli Denim Jacket


I bought this jacket in 2002 or 2003 and I used to wear this
But, see.. I got bigger and it can't fit me
So sad, must get rid of it...

Eating Alone

 •   EATiNG ALONE



Until now I don't like eating alone
But, I can't avoid the situation that sometimes I must eat alone
I don't know when I began realizing this feeling
When I was younger, I went to many places with many friends
And it seemed that I've always got people watching over me
Therefore I've never thought about it

I think since I left my country and came to this foreign country
Meeting new people and there aren't a lot of friends like back home
Besides, I can't afford to always hang out and always eat out
And so, I must accept that sometimes I must eat alone.
Does it happen to you too?

However, I'm grateful that I'm able to enjoy meals even I eat alone
Because not everyone can enjoy eating alone,
so here I share with you how to learn eating alone
1

Watch your mealtimes and discipline is important
It will train you to manage your working hours and your  relaxing time
Because if you are alone, you will tend to do whatever you want without thinking its impact to your health later. It's necessary to have three mealtimes a day : breakfast, lunch and dinner

2

Have a note and write down what you've eaten
It will show you nutrition you've consumed.
When you get sick, you can see this note and you can easily find what variety of food you lack of. Then, you can unconciously develop your menu planner to keep your body fit

3

Eating in appropriate manner
Even you are alone, try to always eat slowly and wash your hands before eating.
Don't rush your food and enjoy every bite
If you don't have much time, reduce the portion
It's always better to eat less and slowly, than to eat much in a rush

Fall 2011

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yes, it's fall, but I won't let my hope fall!
No, my faith will not fall !
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The temperature is getting colder and it doesn't fit me actually
But, the view of the fall season calms me
Leaves are changing their color
They are yellow and together with autumn breeze they are falling
This season appears to bring my mood up
As the leaves fall, the trees can still endure the freezing temperature
And they will be green and thick again in the next summer

So, why sould I be worried of my future,
when I know God has planned everything beautifully?
Praise the Lord for each of His living creatures shows the great of the living God
Trees and leaves are phsycally speechles,
however I can hear them loudly speak about hope and faith, especially in this fall season
I have hope, because I know He is faithful in all seasons
