My dear child, I know you're weary
With nothing left to give.
You've worked long and hard
Now you feel frayed and worn.
Come with Me to a quiet place
Away from all the noise and busyness.
Let Me wrap My arms around you,
Enfold you in My love.
Let Me whisper peace to your heart's storm,
Soothe your troubled brow.
Listen to the love song
I composed just for you.
In Me is true contentment.
In Me you will find what you long for.
Come with Me to a quiet place
And receive rest, strength, and peace.

Taking care of skin (men)
Can't seem to set the blog timing to SG clock. URGH.
Some practical tips to stay good-looking i discover from reading some men' magazines in office today.
1.)Use warm water to open pores and protect surface. Buy a type of liquid based cleanser formulated for sensitive skin.
2.)Shave unwanted hair on warm skin first with water or hot towel and rinse afterward with cool water. Soften hair follicles with shave gel.
3.)To reduce stinging, let skin rest a bit from shaving before applying other products. Apply a pea-size amount of light moisturizer on cheeks, forehead and chin –or just on dry patches and rub in softly.
4.)Sunscreen isn’t only for the sand and slopes, it’s for every day usage.
5.)Find a concealer that precisely matches your skin tone, dot on any dark spots, blot excess, and blend edges until hidden. Or pick up a moisturizer with a tint and smooth on just as you would any face lotion.

Being oneself
Hooray.. I finish reading the fifth book i borrow from library.
Sometimes i thought its good to be alone at times, away from the noisy and sickening enviroment. I don't really need people around me, because i am a confident and independent person by nature. I hates annoying, ugly and unattractive people, giving full of comments and lots of unnecessary looks.
Am i happy? Trying to, ahah. Many relationship book so-called gurus tell me that if two individuals can be happy being themselves, they can make a great couple.
“I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”
-Albert Einstein
And in solitude, i using my time to explore areas of my own personal development by reading books. Woohoo my next enlightment will be how to increase emotional intelligence, as you know some people can very smart yet very stupid in EQ.
Time for prayers to be bless my loved ones. =)

Keep fit and healthy
Falling back into our mundane rut is tempting. The inital excitement of keeping fit and healthy slowly evaporates.
Three main areas should be focused on exercise, proper eating, and stress reduction. Begin starting a program of jogging/running 4-5 times per week, resistance training of sit ups/push ups 2-3 times per week and stretching on a daily basis. And learn some relaxation techniques to manage stress levels.
Health should be one of the priority in life. Always give yourself credit! When you have done something that was difficult for you, when you are able to change a bad behavior, write it down and give yourself a much deserved pat on the back. =)
Let's beseeched our Father to watch over our health, we need to do our part and make an effort to succeed by eating right, exercise, reducing stress and keep praying!
God bless.

Training to love
If you want the benefits of a deeply committed and loving relationship, then you have to be willing to put in the effort to make it happen.
Just like as preparing for a marathon, you need to follow a daily training regimen, or else you won't finish the race. Train by working on communication skills, by learning to give to your partner, by building trust, by expressing your love in word and deed.
How to create a love that succeeds in breaking down the barriers of ego and selfishness to as enable one another to reach genuine intimacy ?
Real love is not synonymous with losing control or going crazy. In real love you don't lose yourself and in real love you can live without the other person.
What is love?
In Hebrew the word for love is "ahava." The root word of ahava is hav, which means to give. Love is the constant choice to give to another. Love is about taking a quantum leap from being self-centered to other-centered.
A concept from John F. Kennedy is "to ask not what my partner can do for me but ask what I can do for my partner." This is how we create genuine, deep love.
