Chapter 53: 真的是....

真的是....

2nd year 了，参到这群朋友，让生活感到更miserable.

浪费时间，拖延时间....

无药可救。

已经是不够时间了，还不好好认真的做。

不准时，更不用说了。

说 9am 开始，10am 人才慢慢来，慢慢走，嬉皮笑脸地说声"hi"

不认真吗？就不要做咯。

这班人，最厉害的是....

- 不到最后一分钟都不会去做。

- 发信息不是不回信，就是说不想理。

- facebook 没人在，总是有问题时没有人会在那边帮助你。

- 或者在facebook 终于问到他们如何做时，就会有这种的reply...."这不像我做的，为何我要做？" 过后就offline 了....=.=

有时很想要有一个好好的安排，却给他们误会说是完美主义者。

炸到，good planning 和 perfectionist 都不会分 =.=

最后，来到这学期的last day，他们还是这样。

算了，我还是走我那一套，懒得踩你们...

Chapter 52: Why pray when food comes?

Yeah, i luv eating..... It makes me feels good. Whenever i'm stress, i'll eat; happy, i'll eat too...haha

Well, some time ago i came across this article, quite meaningful, saying why we need to pray before we eat....

(orar antes de comer).....:D

Praying over our food has numerous benefits:

1) It reminds us that God is the source of all we have, including food. We show our gratefulness to God by praising Him and recalling the blessings He has heaped upon us. Joel 2:26 says, "You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God…"

2) It allows us to honor God during everyday activities like eating. "He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God" (Psalm 50:23). When we ask a blessing over our food, we honor God by acknowledging His provision.

3) It is a good witness to other Christians and non-Christians. Saying grace shows that we're willing to publicly acknowledge our dependence on Almighty God for the gift of food. Teaching our children to consistently ask a blessing at meals sets an example they will remember when they become parents.

4) It slows us down for a moment. In our fast-paced lives, stopping all conversation and activity is uncommon. But as we bow our heads, close our eyes, and focus on our gratitude, our spirits are refreshed. In addition, relaxing aids our digestion and helps us enjoy the psychological benefits of eating.

5) It makes us ponder the quality of what we're eating. God will gladly bless the wholesome food He created for us. But what if our plates hold processed foods that barely resemble their original form and have little nutritional value? Could you ask God to bless a donut? A soda? When we ask the Lord to bless our food, it makes us think about what we put into our bodies, perhaps convicting us to make dietary changes.


In his book Living in Divine Health, Dr. Don Colbert recommends praying fervently over our food at each meal as part of a healthful eating plan. Saying grace is important not only for spiritual health, but physical health, too. When we ask God to bless our food, we're unleashing His power to bless our bodies through what we eat.


Many people make detailed requests in their prayers. Likewise, we should think about exactly what we desire food to do for our bodies and then pray specifically about it. I often say something like this: "Dear Lord, thank You for providing this nutritious meal. Please bless the food and allow it to nourish and energize my body. Protect my cells from any harmful impurities that entered the food from the environment or through processing. In Jesus’ name, amen."

Asking God to bless our meals is wise from a spiritual standpoint and prudent for our health. He wants the best for us in everything, including our food. Whether you're dining alone or chowing down with a football team, make it a point to pray over your next meal.

Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water” (Exodus 23:25a).

Chapter 51 Same, but still different

Having course mates from different ethnics is challenging. The way you think, the way they think; the way you do things, the way they do things; the way you live, the way they lived. Tolerance will play an important part here, in order to keep peace within one another.

A second year me, living with my fellow non-Chinese course mates, having classes with them, working together…thought that I’ve grasp hold of their culture. Well, though I’ve spent one year lingering with them, having conflicts, but still, I’d yet to understand them thoroughly. What their culture and the “language” they speak. I thought I laid back and watch and observe what they do. Passing the “leadership baton” to them made them reveal their true self, leaving them do the leadership thingy, the planning thingy and the decision making thingy. In some occasions, having a good idea or a good planning brings no benefits rather than the effects of the other way round.

If you’re me, you’ll understand. Sometimes people just don’t get you. Sometimes people misunderstood you and they misjudge you. What you do, what you’ve plan and what you said, some people just don’t reach you and yet, in the other way, you get “good” replies and “good” comments. Having good time management, you got a title of being a perfectionist (no one likes a perfectionist, I bet you don’t too…); having a busy schedule at weekends, they don’t understand you. After the weekends of busyness, you’ll get a “hey why can’t you finish it by weekend” reply.

Hence for me I chose to back off, bearing all these by my own, taking the load. I don’t care what they say, but it’s a disadvantage for me, as living at such attitude for 3 years is going to choke myself up from the sardine can. Let them think what they want, do what they want, it’s none of my business. Quite fed up and tired sometimes tolerating. Well, I pray that whatever happens, God will make everything smoothly. Although there’re rough roads and stormy seas, it’s still smooth with Him.

(good guts if u manage to read this long thingy....:D )
