The message is clear: WE instead of ME 

In order to achieve a lasting relationship, we need to look beyond ourselves... we need to be humble and most of all, we need to cooperate with each other. One of the factors why relationship fails is the fact that nobody cares to humble down... One wants to outsmart the other, and the other wants to do the same. Such a sad scenario but it did really happen. There might be no perfect organization, no perfect group, no perfect community but if one will only consider the welfare of the group as a whole, then everything will be in order regardless of the weaknesses that each member might have.

It's time to make a difference... If we all aim to build a lasting relationship, it needs a strong foundation- and that foundation is what we called COOPERATION.

And talking about cooperation, it is not easy. It requires a strong desire to help people; something like earning an MSW online, an educational course that will equip us in doing social works which will allow us to serve other people.

I super like the movie of Amir Khan entitled, Lagaan (Once Upon A Time In India). I watched it last night with my hubby. The story itself already impressed me the most. I also appreciate Amir's exceptional talent when it comes to acting. All of his movies are kinda musical in type. Among his movies that I've watched are the Ghajini, 3 Idiots, and Every Child is Special.

The story is quite long (more than three hours, as usual) but rest assured that you will really love the movie. Winning a battle doesn't necessarily includes casualties...

Watch the trailer:

All in all with regards to its cinematography, It was beautifully filmed and went well beyond visual basic training

I am back! I started the weekdays with a question on Meet Me On Monday and I am going to end it up with today's Five Question Friday.... And here it goes:

1. Do you prefer your ice cream in a bowl or in a cone? 
        -Cone... Wafer cone to be exact!

2. What three things do you love the smell of? 
       - I am so sensitive to any scents now with my situation (pregnant) but I used to love the scent of my Givenchy Beach Girl, the scent is so feminine...

3. Giftcards or no? (In regards to gift giving...) 
      - with gift cards of course! otherwise your gift will be mistaken as something like there's a bomb inside considering that it has no card or a tag attached to it?

4. What sports did you play in high school if any and do you still play them? 
- Badminton... However, I didn't take it seriously and I haven't played it anymore...

5. Were you in band in high school? What instrument did you play?
- Not in High School but in my college days. I used to be a vocalist in a band whom we called as "Down to Earth Band. We even tried to join in band competition... :)

Perhaps, one of the things that I should be thankful for is the fact that I am still alive today and that I can still think logically and come up writing this post... 

This week isn't really as perfect as I thought it would be. But all that starts well should ends well.

I am so preoccupied with the thoughts of earning more by doing online jobs like article writing and with the help of some co-blogger friends I was able to get opportunities from Direct Advertisers. But then, reality bites, everything is indefinite. And I realize I should not fully rely on it. It has been my prayer every now and then that God will bless us abundantly... that there will be financial breakthrough for me and my hubby... That's it. My mind is so engrossed with finding part-time jobs.

Then the truth occurs to me. I made it a point to present such request to God yet I deliberately do it on my own, unable to wait for His go signal. I decided on my own, work on my own, forgetting the faithfulness of God... I prayed yet I did it my way. So selfish, so impatient- that's me.

God's Promise:

Jeremiah 29:11

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Yes, indeed, I kept on claiming this Words over and over again. In fact, I included this on the header of this blog to remind myself always. But sometimes, anxiety overwhelms me especially now that my due date to give birth is approaching and I can't help it but worry a lot... But still, at the back of my mind, I am holding on to God's promises... His plans for me are not finished yet... HE still have a lot in store for me. I should learn to wait. I should hold on to my faith. I should not allow anxieties to shake me nor threat me with the bad thoughts that isn't happening yet and never will... I may be unfaithful, but God will forever remain faithful on his Words and promises for me...

Thank you Lord.

Today what I feel is different... I am not feeling well, literally. I wrote that on my fb wall... I just don't want to disclose the reason but that was really how I felt right now... I've been into this kind of situation before and a lot of things are crossing on my mind... I don't feel like writing, I don't feel like working. There was just this emptiness within me that is so hard to explain and to comprehend... Pre-natal syndrome? I really do not know. Maybe this is something to ask my sonogram technician. I just feel so bad and I don't even feel like eating. I want to be just on my own, without thinking of anything or anyone else.... 

I just have this lyrics but it really doesn't apply totally to what I felt right now, I just feel like sharing this:

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in.
Make believin' is hard alone,
Out here on my own

We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for the risin' star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears
I dry the tears
I've never shown
Out here on my own

When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you

Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am
Do I fit in
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own
On my own

... on my own

10 It was concerning this salvation that the prophets made careful search and investigation, and they prophesied about this gift which God would give you.11 They tried to find out when the time would be and how it would come.[a] This was the time to which Christ's Spirit in them was pointing, in predicting the sufferings that Christ would have to endure and the glory that would follow.12 God revealed to these prophets that their work was not for their own benefit, but for yours, as they spoke about those things which you have now heard from the messengers who announced the Good News by the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. These are things which even the angels would like to understand.

 We are more than blessed indeed... The Good News that was imparted to us by those who are ahead of us bears fruit... We learned the truth because they revealed it to us... The anointing that God has poured upon them was not in vain... Even the angels in heaven are so excited about this that they too would like to comprehend! If you received the Good News and live with it, the angels in heaven are so glad about it! How much more our Almighty God?
