Getting along with people is not one of my virtual.
It is a hard learning experience and am still learning.
I bumped along through life with good and bad encounters from the people I have met so far.
I question myself how much do I have to flow with others without comprimising my principles, my rights, my feelings.
Do I have to remind myself life is short, and nothing really matters at the end of the day, only my relationship with God matters most.
But sometimes things cannot be avoided, things that people do keep bugging me to react and not keep quiet about it, suffering in silence.
As an adult, I am often reminded to think of the consequences and place myself in their shoes, but still, it does not remove the grievances I have about that person, irregardles who that person is.
Yes, I guess I am never the patient sort of person. Once ruffled, there is nothing around me that I think is good and being positive about it.
Yes, I am ranting away with the hope all my emotions are spent and I can indeed sweep everything I dont like under the carpet.

Dinner
Dinner is God's nourishment to our body.
Dinner is fun when it is enjoyed in the company of friends.
Dinner is a blessing when someone else cooks for you.
Dinner is a time of fellowship, a moment to be shared among friends.
Dinner can be both elaborate or simple, definitely a moment to be cherished.

Occupation
What motivates us to wake up each morning and look forward to another new day at work?
Is it the income at the end of each month?
Is it for mere survival purposes?
It is possible to have a long list of questions asking ourselves the reasons we secure a job, perhaps it is a job that is very satisfying for us or it could be just a job for the sole purpose of ensuring there will be an income at the end of the day.
Someone had shared, which stick to my mind until this day. He said that when it is easy at the begining of your career, that you built up the kind of job you want, the status you need, all the promotions you had received so far. But it will come to one day, when you have accummulated all these success, either by climbing up the corporate ladder or by horizontal promotion; the contribution you give to your employer is no longer equivalent to the $$$ you receive at the end. In this instance, what is the motivating factor in keeping us to want to go into the office each day? It is the mere fact of knowing that you are satisfied with yourselves on the contribution of work you have done for the day. It is knowing that you have some kind of job satisfaction that will keep us continue in our job even knowing there will not be any further promotions within that organisation.

Parents
Parents are gifts from God. They are not perfect but they are definitely the closest set of people to us.
I have been reminded too often that I need to treasure them while they are still alive on this earth.
I prayed that with God's grace and mercy, they will continue to enjoy the showers of blessing. May they continue in good health and enjoy the daily happenings in life.

Intrigue
Have always been reading other ppl's blog for a long while now. Finally decided to blog one as well. Well, if there isn't anything much that comes out of this, the very least, I'm reminding myself to have this blog as my personal journal of my many happenings in my life. Just as the title of my blog to be a constant reminder that this is for me and mine alone..... Perhaps I will have few pages of recipes to blog as well...........
