Life's Journey with God

I think as humans, we're so easily caught up with the hustle and bustle of life that we tend to forget how to truly be the best version of ourselves. Sure, success and money is important. But would you actually drop so low and start doing all kinds of trickery, and backstabbing just to obtain a promotion? Why go to such lengths? If you're competent and hardworking enough, you will be rewarded. Maybe you would beg to differ, being under that strict boss of yours. No matter. You know that you've done your level best. Our Father in heaven would reward us in ways you can never imagine. I was studying and decided to take a break to write this blog post because I got an inspiration to write after reading this quote: Knowledge isn't as important if you have no heart, won't lend a listening ear to others, and unwilling to help others. If only everyone could follow Cinderella's mantra - have courage and be kind - the world would be a much better place.

So apparently, I always seem to end up wanting to be closer friends with people who may not be my close friends or even in the same clique. Back in high school, I've always looked up to Carmen and even until now, I think she's a great person who has great personality. As much as I do, I just can't seem to connect and have things to talk about when I see her. Sigh. Then comes college. I have this really amazing friend, Xueh Wei, who is involved with so many things at once I don't even know how she handles it. Again, although not as bad, I feel like our friendship could have been better and stronger. But, in the one year span, I've really got to know her better and become a better friend to her (I hope). So this doesn't really count, actually. Moving on, in BRATs camp, I met this really smart and awesome friend, Sara, who gave me a really great first impression because of TWCS (smart girl~). Throughout the full 4 days there in Ipoh, we really bonded, and being

So, recently, I've been told by my sister about how Anne Hathaway (and her family) left the Catholic Church to join the Episcopalian Church because of her brother that came out of the closet. Previously, she had even thought of becoming a nun but decided not to because she couldn't devote her life to a religion that does not permit homosexual acts ( http://www.contactmusic.com/anne-hathaway/news/hathaway-dreamed-of-being-a-nun_1007990 ). Below is an excerpt from an interview about her views on this: Resource: Interview by Terry Gross http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2010/12/01/anne-hathaway-explains-why-she-left-the-catholic-church/ I would say that she got her facts wrong. I mean if she truly understood the Church's teaching on homosexuality, it wouldn't really affect her faith even if her brother has same-sex attraction. You see, we do not hate on homosexuals. In fact, we are called to love them just as equal as everyone else. We are all a child o
