Hobbit and I are going to Cambodia before Christmas to attend a friend's wedding. We will travel to Phnom Penh and would probably spend several days there. Being someone who loves to plan, I was busy the past few weeks searching for an cheap, clean, and affordable hotel. I found several already but not quite sure if it is close to our friend's place. My friend is going to check each of the options I gave her and wow do I salute her for painstakingly make time for nobody like us! Thanks R. Anyway, I hope we could find a good one instead of puerto plata Hotel because Hobbit and I really want to enjoy our time there with family and friends.
My flash drive just konked on me! I need a new one. I have been using this particular tiny flash drive for about 2 years I think and I guess it is about time to get a new one. Hm...I like to get myself a good but cute one. Custom flash drive is very popular nowadays and I think I will hunt it down next week. It is very hard to live without one especially if you need to take home lots of type written work! Not for everyone of course but I am working on two different computers--school and ma own one. Better ask Hobbit if he's willing to spend a little of his moola for me next week! :)
I read this today and felt that it is similar to what I am praying for. It's from about.com.
Dear God,
As I woke up this morning, I thought about time and the idea of stepping out in faith. How long do I wait for a breakthrough, during the down times and the quiet times when I feel so alone?
As I read in my devotional, "my grace is sufficient for you," again I find strength in your Word to wait on you.
Oh, God, I trust that you, who has begun the good work in me, are faithful to complete it. Today does not look any different than yesterday. My circumstances have not changed. But slowly and surely your Word is taking root in my heart and in it I have confident rest. I know my change will come. I am willing to wait on your perfect timing and your decision which is right.life insurance quotes
Thank you for weighing it all out and giving me all and only as much as I can bear. Thank you for the courage to wait and patiently trust that my Father knows what is best for me.
I fell in love with Sony Vaio but for whatever reason a friend of mine strongly detest that I own one.
Anyway, after coming back from a party last night, Hobbit and I did a gig that spelled "for our eyes/ears only". Got inspired by all the bad dreams I had lately. I just don't know why I am having dreams that I totally couldn't make up on...I pray that it meant nothing! :)
My blog totally needs a new face lift. After 2 days downtime I couldn't afford it to load a million years. So, let me see what toys I could do without...the quotes and everything else I guess! They just make my blog slower. Since this place is no longer my official play place, I might as well go for the default look. I really have very little time to blog nowadays unless, of course I cut down FBooking time which I bet will happen soon. Yet one thing I know, I have vowed that I would so quit playing games in FB and my hobbit couldn't agree less to that! Till I put my hands on this page, bear with all the blings for now! :)
O Father God in Heaven, I come to you because I need your forgiveness. I have done wrong. I confess to you all my sins . I deserve to die for them. I cannot save myself. But I thank you for dying on the cross to take away the guilt and evil in my life. Jesus, save me! Cleanse me! Forgive me! I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. From now on I receive you and confess you openly as my Lord, Master and Savior. I receive the gift of righteousness from you by faith. Change me Jesus more and more each day to be like you. Be Lord of my spirit, soul and body. Break the power of sin from my life.
As you forgive me, I now forgive all that have hurt me. I turn away from all evil. I renounce Satan and any areas of influence he has in me for any reason (name the areas you know about). In the name of Jesus Christ I command all evil power to leave me now. I purpose now to never accept you evil powers back in my life.
I thank you Father that I am now a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ. I am born again. I am a new person. My sins are forgiven. I am part of the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ lives in me and through me. Thank you Father for the gift of eternal life!
Dear Holy Spirit, I trust you to lead me in the Word of God and prayer every day. Help me to obey the voice of God and fully accomplish God's purposes for my life. Amen.

Somebody's wrinkle cream is going down low. I need to remember to get one when I could find time to go to the store. This particular wrinkle cream isn't any cream but it has two tubes that ensured each was to be used with equal amount. So when one tube ran low, I was conscious that "Somebody" would stop using it for a long long time. It proved me wrong. This "Somebody" turned out to like this particular product very much that "Somebody" one day suddenly hinted...that it would be good if I get "Somebody" another one as soon as possible so that nothing would be lost from Anybody's table. Sounds great!
It is essential that we live a happy life each day. We don't just become happy but we make ourselves happy. Here are some tips from Roger Darlington on how to be happy. I noted the first 10. :)
Perhaps above all, be as healthy as you can. Nothing is more valuable than your health and little is more likely to make you unhappy than ill-health.
Most fundamentally, recognise that happiness is a state of mind and not something which can be defined objectively. You can change your state of mind in many ways including the following suggestions.
More importantly than anything else, live with a partner whom you love and respect and who feels the same about you. Kiss and cuddle and compliment often and regularly buy unexpected little gifts.
When you're old enough and in a steady relationship, have a son or a daughter. Tell them often how much you love and admire him/her and do anything to help him/her.
Have a cat or a dog. Stroke often.
Keep in close touch with relatives and a small circle of friends. You can't beat their love and support.
Conversely, if there is a person in your life who is a negative influence and who is dragging you down in some way, don't be afraid to get remove such a person from your life.
Smile a lot. Smiles make you miles better - and you smiling will make others smile. As Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) put it: “Always wear a smile. The gift of life will then be yours to give.”
Laugh a lot.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Honesty really is the best policy.
