Choose Life

by mott on May 18, 2013

I just finished a proper First Aid Course recently. The first thing that I was taught was, that I must value my life first. Yes, it’s as selfish as it sounds. Much as I would like to save you… I have to think about MY life first.

Once the risks of me dying is eliminated, only can I help you.

Thing is, I was recently made aware of a mom… a mom who is joyfully pregnant with twins. And rather ironically, cancerous. To save her life, she would need to terminate their lives. But as a mother, when you are already so used to sacrificing… somehow, the value of your life is transcended into your babies. It’s like you don’t mind subtracting, as long it adds on to theirs.

While it will be so hard for people to understand, why God would want this to happen. A bad thing happening to a good person. It’s hard to wrap your head around that. But, God always has a purpose.

I wish I was worldly wise and prophetic to say that her tumultuous journey would give her babies, a renewed look on life. But who’s to say, her babies may resent living, because it caused their mother to suffer so.

One must find peace. Peace in life. Peace in death. Peace in the decisions we make. Peace in the realisation that wrong decisions were made. Peace in making it right again.

Life is full of bumps. Hard, soft, big, small ones. We all need them.

Language and music

by mott on May 18, 2013

You know, they say, if you want to learn a new language, you do it with music or tv. Of course, it would better if you actually went to the country of interest itself. But… we won’t bother with that fantasy. We are realistic, and we only have to rely on youtube if we need any .. that’s right, ANY help in our language skills.

That also includes music too… you can pick up any of taylor guitars from musicians friend, go online onto Youtube and wah lah! you’re on your way to learning your first chords. Yea… boys and I learnt how to play the bongos that way. Just youtube it.

Of course, with youtube, you don’t enjoy the interaction of someone conversing with you…but, hey! Better than listening to boring old language tapes. Eh?

The chicken is always bland

May 18, 2013

Sigh. I tried, boys. I do try. I try my hardest to make that stupid roast chicken taste like something inside. I have to say, a roast is the easiest to do. But, the problem is, the flavour is on the outside. Not the inside. Meat is bland bland bland. Tastes like cardboard. Even if [...]

OCD – Free?

May 18, 2013

Is that ever possible for an OCD freak? Can you release the OCD freak in you? Let it loose and free it from it’s constraints? Without expensive therapies and pills? Would it be possible to stop ironing your underpants and sheets? Would it be possible to stop using the mold fogger on your shower screens [...]

Forced Learning

May 18, 2013

They say, if you want to re-train your brain, you need to do repetitive tasks until you master it. One of it is, language. And I’ve been really fascinated with language for the longest time. Now, that doesn’t mean, I have ANY language skills at all…far from it. Yes, I almost failed in my home [...]

Sacrificed Rice

May 18, 2013

I have been sacrificing rice. Yup, it started this year. No no.. I’m not purposefully giving up rice. Far from it. I just want to stop getting fat. Hence, the rice ban. It’s been so hard, I find. What with the non-existent metabolic rate and this not-helping weather that makes me just want to eat [...]

Three boys

May 18, 2013

Despite the racket they make when they play AND fight… I cannot tell how more deafening it is, when only one child is at home. They actually pine for each other..and always can’t wait for one or the other to get home and create a racket. Anyway, I do enjoy the camaraderie between the boys. [...]

Warfare in the home

May 18, 2013

While I don’t endorse violence, it cannot be helped with you have nothing but testosterones running about in your house. I think it’s good enough for my neighbours to contact their commercial real estate lawyer raleigh nc, and try to see if they are able to sell their properties as quick as possible. The very [...]

Javert

May 15, 2013

Again, I write about Javert. Why? I’m intrigued by his character. His zealousness to be good, and yet, the ultimate sin committed was death by suicide. He only desired to do the right thing. Did he realise by doing so, he committed so many other sins along the way? Sometimes, doing good, doesn’t mean anything [...]

Good time?

May 15, 2013

Is it a good time to buy gold bullions? Hmm.. seeing that our dollar is weakening somewhat, I wonder if I should start thinking about investing in minerals. But then again, I wouldn’t know.. because I’m no expert in minerals. I don’t know if I can read someone’s financial review about gold or gold investments. [...]
