I THANKING HIM FOR Her

July 4, 2014 at 1:02am
 

I get ready for this very special day of July 4th, closed my eyes, speaking through my inner man with my BEST HERO, BEST LORD,  MY BEST J_C. thanking HIM for I know that this life i have till this very day is nothing but only by HIS GRACE, LOVE, MERCY, and BLESS.


I forced my brain to track my life journey back, imagine what did i look like when i was a little baby. somehow what i saw in my imagination was a beautiful, strong, steadfast, forgiving woman.


all of a sudden i stop my brain from its journey of imagination, i opened my eyes taking my phone and text this woman: THANK YOU MAMA FOR STILL TAKING CARE OF ME SINCE I WAS IN YOUR WOMB TILL THIS PRESENT, I LOVE YOU AS ALWAYS. thank you LORD for I'm having angels around me. thank you everyone for your love and support. ^_^

THE GRATEFUL OF MY 22

"Everyone falls in love sometimes, sometimes its wrong, sometimes its right, for everywin somebody must fail but there comes a point when we exhale" (Exhale-Whitney Houston).

     living my life in the world where i could only see little glimpse of hope, walking but not sure would i reach the finish line? this life was planed to be a winner but sometimes i saw that im fail cause someone else is win. hope seems not strong enough to cure the worries. past memories were full of laughter but present moment only bears the skepticism for future. soflty HE wishpers in my heart the sound of light for my burden heart that : "My son  I never let you walk alone"  HE reminds me that: your future is in MY Hand, worries may cost you doubts but I'll always hold you in my palm" Yeremia 31:17a
     Dear my LORD, the only reason left for me to keep walking is YOU. thank YOU for add me another year for my age. this very 22 years old of mine is temporary but your mercy for me will last forever. teach me to love YOU and honor YOU in my sinfulness and failures, teach me to walk after YOU for only your GLORY. 

LOVE,

THE BOSTON THANKSGIVING EVENT ; A MEMORY OF MY WONDERFUL TIME

IT WAS NOT A LONG DAY BUT ITS MOMENT LAST FOREVER

A MEMORY OF WONDERFUL BOSTON

It was last year as I remember it. Such a very exciting moment when a very good friend of mine, Miss. Linda told me and other friends to join with a Christian conference on leadership in Boston. It is an annual conference held by such International Organization, which organizes and works with international students who come for study in America. My friends and I were (lily and me) starting our journey from Rochester to Boston by a bus. The bus itself was a horrible experience. Honestly, it was the first and last nightmare of the Boston trip. The chairs rows are not like typical public bus, and I don’t think the bus was an good option for long trip. But, thank God that in the middle of our journey, there was a very kind old man who welcomed lily and me to moved to his car, which was so much better in comparison to the bus. We met bunch of South Koreans students inside of the car. They were very nice and we talked a lot along the way.  

Lily and I arrived in Boston when everything already dark, I don’t even remember what time was it. We were so exciting to see our, another friend, Diego who arrived already in Boston by train from another state. Diego and I were staying in the same host family, Mr. Jhon and Mrs. Lily. It was such a bless to being with them at that moment, I personally thanked them till now for such a hospitality they offered to us, as a family in the very fondest day of thanksgiving which happened to be, my very first time Thanksgiving day in my life, in the USA. The next day, our host family, Mr. John and His children, William and Sarah were inviting us to watching the most dangerous game ever I saw in my life, American’s football. But it was worth it though, I guess, everything is worth it when it is happening for the very first time. And at night, we were celebrating the thanksgiving dinner. I still remember that moment very clearly in my mind as I’m writing this sentence. thank God for them very profusely for made that night imprinted in memory as I acknowledge as one of the fondest times during my staying in America.

 In the next day was the main agenda of the conference, “how to keep the integrity among the corruption”. The speaker was from Argentina who is working for World Bank. A Very wonderful conference that teaches young generations to keep their integrity for the Glory of Lord. When it finished, then we continued our journey to visiting some places in Boston, I couldn’t help myself stop admire Boston in its unique. I said to myself, this city is one of the most wonderful and beautiful cities in America that I think, people, especially International students must come and visit this city, during their staying here in the America. Not only the historical destinations that have been offered by city itself but also the panorama of the city and architectures, which seem so classic and feeling like European aura. 

Till we back, to our own habitat, Nazareth College 4245 East Avenue Rochester, NY. I still feel so grateful for everything, which had happened in Boston. I thank God for Linda, for my Host family, for +Lily Wang , For +Diego Gómez  and also for Uday, and for every single person whom I met there. It was not a long day but its moment last forever.  

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW BUT BELIEVE

I started my journey to US since some months ago, time flies as we are having fun. Am i having fun here? Anyway. I applied for one semester only, and they put me in the seat for two semesters. I thought,  it was fine for me since my dream would come true to be in the US. New friends, new culture, new places, it seems fun for a while. Later, i start to really miss my own bed, my favorite foods which i couldn't find here. Above all, i miss the personal moments with Christ, my LORD. When one of my close friends as i remembered as my brilliant sister came here to visit me yesterday, i feel like, i WANT TO GO HOME. I said : LORD, i know YOU have a plan for me, but if i have an option to back, i will take that. I think one semester is more than just enough for me to stay here. Some students tried to get two semesters, i didn't even try and think about that, but i get it. I haven't seen anything really precious for me so far which will answer my question, why should i stay here for two semesters? I DON'T know now. But i believe, one day at the time, i will say thank YOU JESUS for this opportunity. When i still  asked, that question, Holy Spirit reminded me about my story with introduction of diplomacy class.  I got "E" for that class. I did every task and did all the test, do i deserve that E? I asked myself. But the LORD calmed my heart, and i believe that something must be planed by HIM. Anyway, i got Bonus for another trip to Berlin for an International Conference. ^_^. Mrs. Iva,one of my favorite lecturers,said in her class:

you'll never know what is going on in your life is bad luck or good luck.  

and I believe, when i walk with JESUS, there will never be a bad luck in my life. Jeremiah 29:11 "for i know the thoughts that i think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

LOVELY CULTURE SHOCK

Culture shock is a condition when people experience a new custom outside of of their own custom. It happens when they visit a new place somewhere. As an exchange student of US Department of State, i get a very Blessed opportunity to have my class in American University. Nazareth College in Rochester-New-York is my destination for education here. I had a very shocking day at the very first time i arrived at the airport of Rochester at 08:30 PM and guess what? everything was still bright, i could still see the sunshine. seriously? yes it happens in summer season. Well my life schedule was mess up. It didn't seem normal to me to see sunlight until 8:30 PM, it should be dark. Anyway i tried to enjoy it.        

          The another story which i really like as a part of my culture shock is the Drivers. Everytime when i go to the Pitsford Plaza to buy anything that i needed when i cross the street, the cars always wait for me and friends to walk first. Even it's not our turn to walk and we keep walking, they just let us reach the sidewalk and they start to go with their cars. WOW, it is something that never happen in the country where i lived. what a lovely drivers. Not only me that impressed by the drivers here but also most of my international friends felt the same way. I wish one day all the drivers in the developing countries can respect the pedestrian that way. I LOVE THE DRIVERS IN AMERICA.

LEARNING METHOD

Learning is process how our brain analyst all the things around us. Brain as the center of human coordination, it controls all the activities such as breathing, blinking, memorizing, gathering all the informations around us and many more. This learning process already started since embryo. That is why the experts say that the right time to building the human system function is when the mother still pregnant in order to helping the process of brain shaping and other of human organs. The success of shaping baby organs such as eyes, ears and brain are very useful  to helping the advancement of baby sense, when he/she turns to be child and mature to absorbing the informations around. 

When humans start to  learning anything, they have varied way of learning. Some people think that the best way is by listening the music, some people think that  the best way to learning is by drawing and many more.  For me personally the best way to learning is to listening and speaking.  My way to memorizing the new word in english is saying and listening the word itself. 

Sometimes i must make a sample in sentence. I just got new word this morning. "Underdog". I try to make a sample in sentence to help me keep in mind. "The government policy is not helping to solve the problem of underdog society". Sometimes the best way for me is trying to make a picture. Drawing the the things like a "curtain" word is helping me so much to memorizing the word. In the classroom, i love the way, we learn by game. It is not boring and stimulates us, the students, to maximizing our brain function. 

SCREAM OUT FROM THE PRISON

Activist Michael Anti furious he lost facebook account-while Zuckerberg’s dog has own page,  it is the title of article that Louis my lecturer gave to us.  Oh my gosh,  what the China government did to this person? That was I thinking about. The article said that: Beijing-Chinese blogger and activist Michael anti wants to know why he is less worthy of a Facebook account than a company founder Mark Zuckerberg’s dog. Dog?? (Maybe the pet lovers agree with that). 

Democracy is the way how People, Particularly   the citizen, can express their opinion freely. It is more than just a political system, it is more than just how to shaping the policy as a rule. More than that, it is the way how we are dealing with each other equally without threat them. I do agree that, sometimes it is good to eagle eye some people, if it has something to do with the public safety.  I do understand, why the government of china is limiting the Michael anti. I go back with my memories, when I was at class with my dear lecturer Mrs. June.  We had the class about China international relations, it is about the historical background of china. "The forbidden kingdom" is the way how I remembered the history about them. They do believe that their position is in the middle and other positions are in periphery, or almost at the edge. The kingdom of Emperor is acting like a GOD of the world. What he say is the voice of heaven. Even citizens musn't see the emperor's face when he talked with them. The power of the kingdom of emperor over the nation is what they want to keep so far and maintaining its power, as circle of political life. 

    "My journalistic work and academic work is more real than a dog", Michael Anti said. Zhao Jing is his official name. In his inbox (message from the FB company), he found out that, "facebook company has a strict policy against Pseudonyms and that he must use the name issued on his government ID". I believe that this  situation is not only happen for the China bloggers, but also all the activists anywhere who would like to scream out their voice against the prison of policy which limits their movements. 

Last two paragraph of the article, I do believe these are core reasons, why the protection for his rights is very important: anti said “there is long tradition in china for writers and journalists to take pen names, partly as a protection from retaliation from authorities. If facebook requires the use of real names that could potentially put Chinese citizens in danger”.

There is hilarious title given by Michael Anti for china government. He started explanations with words: China is complicated …………………….., (keep explaining). So basically china is a SICK BRIC country. Sick means Syria, Iran,China & North Korea. Brick means Brazil, Russia, India, China. Can you imagine that?? ^_^, GBY
