I’m not going to deliver a sermon but just share what caught me the most on last Sunday’s sermon …

It’s not the priest who had speech but one of the Church Assembly. He read texts on papers that were prepared but caught our attention with his loud voice. Even he just read the jokes without having eye contacts with the congregation. However, what he delivered was good and I want to keep it here …

The verse taken was from Psalm 73 which talked about struggle and hope: how someone who had done all good things still got pain and bad luck while they who did bad things got all comfort and happiness of life.

He gave the analogy of married to picture our relation with God …

When you are dating a girl, you will feel that she is everything for you. She is the one who understands and matches you the most. World is beautiful because you have her. You cannot live without her. If you are a twig, she is the rose. If you are a fish, she is the aquarium. If you are sick, she is the cure.



After marriage, everything about her is changed. You think that she does not understand you. She is different from you. You regret to have married her. If you are a rose, she is the caterpillar. If you are a fish, she is the frying pan. And if you are sick, she is the virus.
Then you both arrive in a junction. One option is to get divorce from her and the other is living with her …


When you love someone because she understands you and makes you happy, it means you don’t love her but you love yourself because what you want is for your own sake …

Our relation with God is same with above analogy. God doesn’t always give “yes” as an answer. Even, He might often give “no” for your prayer. If we always want “yes” and force our own desire, we want to be a god.

So, the question is when He answered “no”, what will we do: leave Him or keep our faith in Him … ?


Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par ~ “Like Stars on Earth” (released 21 December 2007) is another movie from Aamir Khan that I adore after Three Idiots and Ghajini . It is really really really a touching and beautiful movie. It tells about an eight-year-old-boy, named Ishaan, who is dyslexic but blessed with excellent painting talent. Taare Zameen Par received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare . It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film but it failed to progress to the nominations short list.

Webtoons – Blood Type

I love comic a.k.a manga a.k.a manhwa! I also love K-drama! One day, I watched K-drama “Ex-girlfriends Club”. It was about a webtoon writer – Bang Myung-Soo, who wrote about his own experience having 3 girlfriends in the past. He drew their characters into animals. First girl friend, the cat, was his first love and wealthy divorce. Second gf, the fox, was dare and an actress-wannabe. Third gf, the lion, was an ambitious-successful woman. It was very interesting drama. It made you doesn’t wanna stop watching it.  Moreover, my fav Song Ji Hyo played on this drama ^^ Anyway, since then, I start to look for any webtoon on the internet and I found www.webtoons.com I am following “Simple Thinking about Blood Type” by Park Dong Sun. This is about the daily life of the blood type characters A, B, O, and AB. This webtoon is so entertaining! Not only the drawing is comical, the comedy is also amusing. I love it ^^ I don’t know how but character O on this webtoon is so much me....
