It's Sunday!
Still down with a sorethroat so I didn't make much attempt to sing during mass. Sermon was about being rich in God's way and not the physical way, meaning that it's more important to hold and practise good values and such rather than filling up your lives with physical things like branded material items! When ppl die, they can't bring anything that they own in this world to the next, so might as well share the good fortune that they've been blessed with with the less priviledged!
This doesn't mean that we shld give up all luxury items; Rather, it means that we shld also learn how to be more generous towards other ppl! Ok not only generous, but being generous and NOT expecting anything(such as a favour or act) in return. Honestly, what's the point of calling a generous act as a good deed when the giver expects something in return? Generosity should be done out of the kindness of one's heart! Other than that, the rest who do with a motive behind are plain scumbags(my opinion, not anyone else's). I don't mean that the receiver should not attempt on returning the act of kindness, but rather the giver shld not expect praises frm the receiving party(and ppl outside of this group) just cos they've helped them. If the receiver does praise, the giver shld accept graciously.
Alright, I won't continue. I bet I'm boring the life outta majority of my readers from this small rant on generosity. Or go ahead and prove me wrong by discussing this topic with me! =D
Moving on...
I took several pics with this priest who did my baptism 2 decades plus ago! He happened to be in my church tdy cos he's supposed to be in taiwan, which I heard that he was returning to tmr. Hopefully my dad sends me the pics from his blackberry later!
Back to ytd's uncovered topics! I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to be the assistant IC for ninja-do's thursday class(ALL calls it as AIC), since well, it was unexpected and it was the 1st time there's a need for an assistant IC since I started njd in jan. My duties currently extend to helping the girls check their gi(which honestly slipped my mind on thurs since I was almost late for class!), and well, carrying out the warm-ups if the IC himself is absent!
Working for the gavimurn is tiring! I gotta wake at 6am everyday or so, but by the time I'm actually up is abt 6.20am =X Gotta curb this lateness to work!
Somewhat surprised to be asked out by one of my friends, but I went anyway. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I didn't suggest to browse thru clothes! Don't know how ppl perceive things, but I didn't consider it as a date, so I wore fairly sloppy ( t shirt, miniskirt, flats). All in all I think I shld return the favour, but I don't know what, when and how if I get rejected haha. For my upcoming outing/date?! with one friend(who crafts beautiful poems), I must dress better! I think I haven't seen a no. of ppl since 2008, so it'll be a gd thing to meet up!
Alright, this post is so long. I'll quit blogging here. Au revoir!
Aww you're so cute!!
