Blessings during hardship

I believe many people in the world face hardship everyday. We cannot escape it nor can we ignore it because it's reality. However, after we have gone through hardship, we failed to see the blessings that God bestowed on us.
There are many, I won't hesitate to admit that I myself failed to see the blessings. Only after awhile when I decided to just sit down and reflect on my life did I realise that I have received a lot of blessings.
Maybe some may not think of it as blessings but then again, it's how you perceive things.
One of the things I've realised that through each and every hardships, I have learnt to become stronger, depend more on God and less on myself and I could also truly see people for who they really are: their true nature and their colours.
Being on my own has also taught me alot, despite people saying I'm an anti-social whatever, I feel I have more time to be with Him, to reflect on His words and apply it in my life.
Finding inner peace is not an easy task but I could say I'm on my way there. I no longer care what others think about it (sometimes maybe), because as long I don't do anything the Lord considers wrong, it's enough.

So far, I haven't found friends I could really share my faith and secrets with, but there is one, my eternal friend, and that is Jesus. In this world, you can't really depend on others because you'll mostly end up getting hurt over and over again. I never learnt my lesson because I was always hoping people would change for the better, but I was so wrong. I am the person that should change, not them.

No man is an island, so thank God because I still have a number of friends for me to talk to. For now, that's what that matters.

IPGK Gaya Golden Jubilee Celebration

Today marks the 50th year of Gaya college. It was built in 1963 and if not mistaken is the oldest college in Sabah. I guess I could say I'm proud to be a Gaya student, except for the fact that the buildings are crumbling down and the hostel facilities? not cool. anyway, I'm proud of Gaya.

The event was officiated by the Assistant Rector. I was called to become an usherer. Well, I was nervous because there were so many unknown people. But thanks to my friends, everything went well. 

The hall was decorated beautifully but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take pictures inside the hall. I could only take pictures from the outside. The flowers were so pretty that I really wanted to take some of the lovely pink and red roses. 

There will be ongoing events starting today, which is 4th July 2013 until 6th July 2013. After being an usherer, I was free so I decided to go down and take a quick visit at the stalls available. The place was lively and cheerful with colourful flags hanging everywhere and also there were exhibitions being held by students and also lecturers. I was too embarrassed to enter the places to take pictures so mostly I only took pictures of food stalls. :) 

Pre-opening events of IPGK GAYA Golden Jubilee

Today was superb!!! It was damn tiring and the reward I got was a headache after spending the whole day under the sun, well, not technically but it was under a zinc roof, so to me it's almost like under the sun because it was so HOT!!! But what i saw was worth it.

I was given the job as an "Urussetia" for the Football match. It was for the Golden Jubilee for my campus. We arrived early in the morning around 7am to take all the things needed down to the field.

About 8:30am or so, the participators started to arrive. We had both players from outside and inside the campus. The part I enjoyed most was watching handsome guys playing.. :)

Here are the pictures for memories~~~

(These are the players from Promenade Hotel, they are so handsome!!! :-) ) 

Moral Forum

Today we had forum on the moral issues..
It was quite sad because there was not enough time for our group to present .. Here are some of my friends presenting their points and also part of the forum ..

Beautiton 2013

This is the first time I ever heard of this word "Beautiton", anyways, we were asked to make the campus area more beautiful by painting it. It was tiring but at the end of the day i can say that the result is satisfying and i feel happy and proud.

Blessed Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone!!!
Since I've already went to church yesterday, so today I'm spending it in my room.. Had a nice sleep and woke up fresh. Well, actually not so fresh because outside now is HAZE ...

I can feel my throat getting sore and in this weather, do drink lots and lots of water...

My agenda for today is knitting socks for my beloved grandpa and also crocheting a blanket for myself
Since I love music so much, I'm currently listening to Lady Antebellum's "Need you now", "Just a kiss", "Downtown" and also their other songs that I managed to download for the internet..

(Well, this is how my study table looks like, messy but i dont know how to clean it anymore)

What's your problem?

I don't believe it when someone says they have no problems at all.
We all have problems. My problems cannot be counted but I can tell you the major problems in my mind right now:
1. Face problem
2. Food problem
3. Weight problem

I guess all those things are worldly things huh? Anyways, whatever the problems are, be glad that there is someone that can solve our problem, or if not, be right with us so that we are strong enough to walk through all those problems..

I love to eat but my belly is getting so big and I'm afraid. Now, I'm trying to eat less, I still eat of course, if i say i'm dieting then it's a big lie. I tried it before but it never worked out. I just eat less, still hard to do so anyway because once my eyes see food, my hand can't stop reaching for it.. :-)

Prayer is also very important in the midst of all our problems. Some might say where does God fit in when it comes to weight problem? Well, I read about it somewhere and it proves what I say is true. I don't quite remember it but then prayer is important. We should pray to the Lord for self-control. Fasting is also good, we must sacrifice what we love most for His sake.

I have lots of pimples and blackheads and everything you can think of. Recently I've been using this product but then it wasn't quite effective at all, my mom asked me to pray so that God will understand because we didn't have that much money just to spend on my face.

Overall, everything is related to Him, we just have to put our faith in Him. I'm still me, and I still have my doubts but I just to pray that one day my eyes will be truly open...
