SUNDAY SCHOOL: Open My Eyes by Jesse Manibusan

Image
I made this video for my Sunday School class tomorrow.  I try to find it on YouTube and only found one with lyrics.  Thus, I decided to create one for my class.  It is just a simple one with the hope that my students will reflect on the words. Hope this will be useful for others too.  Have a blessed weekend! 

Self Reminder: I am Enough

Image
  I feel really down last night until I have to keep reminding myself that I am okay.  It has been a while I did not not feel like that. Fighting that such negativity that clouded my mind. As if it stuck there telling me that I am not worthy. Not worthy of love. Not worthy to be loved. Not good enough for being me.  Not capable of doing anything.  It is just telling me that I am not good enough!  Trying to overcome such a thought until I fell asleep. Thank God I can sleep this time.  So, I am trying hard to remind myself again that,  It is okay not to be okay, sometime, It is okay to cry it out loud and let it go, It is okay feel alone but never lonely, I am enough I am loved I am kind I am smart I am capable of doing things I am not alone... Feeling this emotions inside me like this..  I am not alone..  Our Lady of Good Success,  pray for us.    Prayer to Saint Dymphna (patron saint for mentally ill) Lord, our God, you graciou...

HOBBY: Crochet Newborn Beanie and Booties

Image
I pick up this hobby about two or three years ago. It begin when i want to explore new things and wondering if i have any talent to knit or crochet. I watch quite a lot of online tutorial on YouTube and pick up from there. I try to knit but I did not success with this two needle thing but i did well with one needle. Therefore, i decide to continue my project using crochet method. My first project was a beanie of hat. I successfully made a few hats and i gave them to my mum and friends. I think my mum have a bout three of my beanies. She loved it a lot. She use it when she went for her hospital appointments or sleep at night, whenever she feel cold.  Starting point for baby beanie  End of last month, my best-friend asked me if i can make a beanie for her newborn.

PRODUCT: Keen Whisper Black

Image
  Source: Trekkin On December, 12 last year i placed an order on Shopee . It was year end promotion and i get a good price for Keen's sandals. After discount, the price drop to RM381.65 which the normal price was RM449.00. I think it is worth value for money.  I was looking for a good quality of sandal for my hiking especially when i have to walk in river or streams. It has been a while but i could not find one that i like and i keep asking opinions from my friends. Then, one of my friend mentioned about Keen sandals to me. She recommend the brand based on her own experienced. After searching for different suppliers online i decide to purchase from Shopee because the shop is located in Kuala Lumpur and i have rebate for shipping too. At the end, this sandal cost me RM356.65 .  If i would like to review on my purchase using Shopee, the only weakness is the delay in courier service. It was supposed to be delivered on December, 15 but i only received my parcel on January, 4...

COFFEE: Am i a Coffee Lover?

Image
Having a glass of iced americano at Elementary Coffee Roasters , Kuching Sarawak I am a COFFEE LOVER but unfortunately, my knowledge about coffee or anything related to coffee such as type, taste description or preparation is limited. Why? Because, i am not going for detail when i want to enjoy a cup of coffee. So, can i still self claim myself that i am a coffee lover? Well, well, i have decided to improve my knowledge about coffee. Thus, i start to pay attention with every cup of coffee that i order. I realize now the taste and preparation effect me personally.  All this while, i love to drink coffee from a kopitiam and as you know, most of them use Robusta bean. My favourite drink is coffee milk. The sweetness from the sweetened condensed milk cover the real taste of the coffee. Thus, i assumed for all these years i was addicted to the sugar from my coffee milk. When i traveled to the US in 2019 and Spain in 2020, i have no choice and to take Arabica coffee with no sugar. Somet...

Image
   Source: Book Depository During my session with my therapist on February, 4, we talked about this book. I am aware of this priest which have quite a lot of published books but i did not know about this particular one. This made me wonder, so i look-up on the internet and found it in Book Depository site. I create an account in Book Depository and added this book in my wish list. I would love to buy this book and read it in future. At present, i am still not in the mood of reading anything. I feel numb and blurred.  This is a snippet about this book:  In this book, Henri Nouwen combines creative case studies of ministry with stories from diverse cultures and religious traditions in preparing a new model for ministry. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. Emphasizing that which is in h...
