2010
It's new year again! Ever since 2007 I had been making new year resolutions every year, and there is no exception for 2010. I am not sure whether it is because I am going to be 30 soon or what, but I feel like there are so much I want to accomplish this year. Here they are:
1) Finish reading the New Testament - I am really ashame to admit that this is not a new resolution to me. But I surely I will get it done this year!
2) Find a girlfriend - Well I know this one is not really a resolution as to a certain degree it is out of my control. But well, let's just say it will definitely be on my wish/to-do list in 2010.
3) Finish the Pasadena marathon within 5 hours - To be candid, 26.2 miles is really a bit too much for me. I think I won't be running any full marathon anytime soon after this one, so let's make it a good one.
4) Better money management - To be more specific to maintain a budget control and keep track of all my income and expenses accordingly.
5) Learn Chinese input - Why not?
6) To learn 10 new songs - Why only 10? because I sucks now, I haven't play piano in over 10 years. I think it will take me awhile just to learn one new song.
7) Implement the small meals throughout the day diet - I've tried this diet a few times before but failed. But since I've heard so much good things about it, I've decided to give it another shot.
8) Able to do 100 push up, 200 sit up and 30 pull up non-stop - I am going to youtube it later so I can show my son in the future that his dad was a strong guy too.
9) Find a new and better job - Yes! It's time!
10) Buy a house - This one is tough. There is no way I can come up with the down payment without any assistance. And even if I can somehow come up with it, it can easily take me more than a year just to find the right one. But having said that, I'm still going to try my best...we'll see about that.
Those are a lot of resolutions to accomplish in a year. So I guess it means less facebook and TV for me in 2010. Not a bad thing indeed.

Mom and Dad anniversary
Today is a special day. Today we celebrate my parents’ 32nd anniversary together. It is really a blessing celebrating this special day with my family. Happy Anniversary once again Mom and Dad! But man~32 years!! I can’t even imagine how it is like to be with someone for so long. Sometimes I would think to myself, is it something wrong with me? Why aren’t any of my relationships working out like that? Or could this be like a generation thing? You know, like perhaps most of us in this generation are just too indifferent that we don't care about our relationships like the last generation do. That kind of explains the 50%+ divorce rate right? I don't know. Anyways, I remember when I was younger I used to fantasize about my love life a lot. Like I would I fantasize I meet my special someone at a really early age and I would marry my first and only love in life; how nice would that be. Well…actually I still fantasize that once in awhile, but of course the ‘young’ and ‘first love’ part can no longer be applicable. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE…I really wish I too one day could have my 32nd anniversary. Amen!

Truthfulness
I was reading the Bible the other day and came across this passage. John 4:23 "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." The word 'truth' really got me thinking. Yes, I go to church every Sunday; and yes, I pray to God everyday. But am I worshiping God in truth? I don't know the answer. But one thing for sure, which is not all the time I meant every word I said in my prayers. A lot of time I said things just because they 'sounds right' or cause everyone say it. That is even when I was praying alone.
I can still remember when I first start praying, I think I was probably like 4 or 5 years old. I didn't know the 'formula' of praying or how others pray. All my prayers were basically something like this, 'Dear Lord, (...what I want...), Amen.' Although I didn't thank God as often, or my prayers probably sounded more like a x'mas wish list than a prayer. Despite all that, I am still proud of myself that I meant every word I said. I can still remember most of my prayers back then were for our family to be together forever. ^^

For whatever reason, somehow it seems like I just forgot how to be completely truthful to myself anymore. I guess this is probably one of those things, like innocence, where you just forget/unlearn through life. It used to be peer pressure in highschool and collage, you know where you sometimes say or do things not entirely your will? just for the heck of 'being cool' cause everybody else were doing it I guess? well...that really got me, cause it appears I get so used to that shit I even behave in such when no one is around. I have to remind myself the importance of being truthful. At the end of the day, how am I suppose to learn how to worship God in truth if I can't even be completely truthful to myself at all time?
