Merry Christmas!!

>>>>>>>>>MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>.

Love.

'Love knows no boundaries'...I truly belief in this sentence. The more you love a person, the more you could sacrify for him/her. There are no restrictions or limitations to what or who he/she is, no limitations to their status, their family or even their races. It is a bliss to both party that are truly in love.

Sometimes, love is also blind. Despite whatever he/she may have or be in person, when both party truly accept and love each others for who they are, or sees the perfection in each other, this is the blindness of love. This is also what they call a "beautifully imperfect relationship".

Love makes one completed. One will feel half completed when they are single. Whenever he/she is not complete, and sees a couple walk passed, he/she will feel awkward or upset in their hearts.

The way to get love is to be more easy going, relax, open-minded and give yourself and your party more chances at the starting stage. Looks really does not matter. It is the initial feeling that you can built in the start of the relationship that determines the duration. And time and tide wait for no men. I do not believe that a guy and a gal will have to know each other long enough as friends first in order to get together. Because when the time has reaped for them to be together, the chances of the guy and the gal's chemistry may deplete along the days if they do not give each other a quick chance to be together, to explore the difference or slimilarity earlier.

The desire of the heart to love sometimes plays a part. One needs the desire to love, in order to be successful. Once you have the ernest desire to love, God will see your sincerity and either send his cupid to work, or bless you directly to it. There is no point having no desire or no hope in love and with in emptiness in your heart, suddenly whine in the heart and say, "where's my love?".

...Love is about care, share, happiness, affections, commitment, protections, being a confidante, a guardian, an adviser, and to be part of each other's life, and even part of each other's root family's life.

True love is when both are ready to see the future together, to see a plan together, preparing to be with each other through thick and thin, and to set up a whole new family together.

Love is more important as compare to friendship. For the one you love becomes part of you, and will form a new family and generation together with you, while friends are there to support and share your happiness. Ultimately, when one becomes attached, married, and form their own family, the individual will be less likely to be with their friends but rather, spouse and their newborn family.

The root family is also the second priority... As one form a new family, they will keep in touch with the root family rather than their friends. Therefore in the priority, i would categorize the sequence of priority as: Love, Family, and then friends.

You may lose a friend or 2, but when you are married, you can rely on your spouse and family, as they are obligatory, as compared to your friends. Therefore your spouse is your closest kin and that he/she, who is your other half should be there for you.

________________________________________

....I love her. She is someone that our awesome God has granted me. The moment i saw her, i knew we are made to be together. She is my life, a perfect girl that heaven has given me. She is none other than my sweetheart girlfriend, W.H.

W.H is a cute and nice girl, someone who is obedient, enjoys food, humourous, intelligent, yet humble and accomodating, and knows how to be herself well. She pleases the family well too. In my heart, she is my cutest and sweetest girl, my perfect girl, my other half, and my future wife.

We will never let this perfect love go.

We had alot of coincidents both in subtle and obvious manner. In fact, too much to recall, except for the first few. But i shall not describe them.

When once, i thought i had lost a ring, she wrote a letter to console me and asked me not to be sad, and assure that our relationship is strong. In fact, the ring was not lost, it was safely placed at my Confucius statue. Eventually she lost hers', but it never changes our love....

On our first anniversary, we went to the Republic of Steak and she gave me the card and stated all she could remember from the first touch. I was in fact, really touched by her thoughtfulness.

....I love her as much as she loves me. We both love and trusted each other. Although the journey for us will likely be till eternity, nothing has changed, and nothing will change the depth of our love and relationships.

Cherios.

Night.

There are quite a few countries i may need to go next year, yet not too sure if it will happen. This is due to time, money and certain constraints.

Completed my ECU Bachelor of Communication at quarter 3 of this year, i am deciding if it would be viable to go over to Perth, Western Australia for the graduation ceremony. Of course, in going over there, there should be R & R for anyone going together with me.

Base on one of my company part time lecturer's advise, flying over to perth takes only 5 hours, as compared to my taking of flight to Brisbane around 15 years ago, which really took close to 20 hours.

It is not yet decided if my family members will go with me, or my friends and/or girlfriend will go with me yet. The local graduate ceremony will likely held at quarter 4 of next year, which will be deemed quite long.

The next country is Vietnam, HCM city. My former Security Colleagues had wanted me to go with them on a couple of occassions, but it seems like i have not been able to afford the time yet.

In the mid of June, my plan to Vegas, Nevada for Protections training have to be withheld, and kept in view, as i am awaiting responses from my former Security Khakis, whom most likely have to hold due to financial reasons. The most feasible choice to go there will be either by 2, or 4 people, as accomodation includes twin sharing, while transport and food will be provided.

Probably early next year, i need to go to China for family matter too. But likely this will happen, as it involves financial matters.

Sometimes, i am thinking of embarking into my own business if possible. Business could be F &B and self-defence. I am keen to bring in a Krav defence system, but had needed to check with the originator if it would be recognised like the other Krav systems.

....The continuous little sleep at most of the days make my mind felt deteriorated....and i need a couple of consecutive 'oversleep' to feel replenish. But when will this happen, i shall not imagine first. Hopefully, my brain processor can really re-accelerate, or let God's miracle make it happened.

Time is always productive for me. I have no time to slack, for the past 6 months. It is work, pc, courses, meeting my girlfriend, and family. Probably once awhile, would catch up with a couple of friends to keep track of their happenings or situation.

....The reservist for next year and the IPPT will pose some hinderance to me. Yet, i would take them as an enjoyment rather, than to fawn at them. The reservist will be on 14 February 2011, Valentine's day, and it is my first valentine day with her. Wow, what a humour from heaven.

Heaven does bring humours to mankind. Do observe it in your life, and you can see many, either subtle or obvious.

As a PR and communication personnel, sometimes i do think that going into the related industry is worthwhile, although it would mean a career learning journey for me, if there is an opportunity. Organising events and communications tools for marketing purposes will really be interesting amongst many other functions that needed skills such as web, photo and video. The only imbalance is that communication student sshould have been taught technical skills of media related pheripherals, such as photoshops, deamweaver, and photo-editing, than to fully do analytical research and verbal communications. Because in executing marcom, technical skills are also essential, although not imperative. If to be fully trained in Mass Communication, PR and the Media would likely be the focus.

....Always in love with self-development, i am going for photoshop course early next year, and perhaps TEFL, for teaching of english.

I would love to be somekind of teacher, instructor, and in future, a trainer and lecturer, and best of all, having my own business all concurrently.

I would really like to be someone who can touch the lives of many people. Contributing to the community and the society is a must. I must have no fear in facing or dealing with anyone, not even my own boss. This way, i am able to be myself, and feel myself.

Moving forward, i hope that i have enough time to experience all the things in my life that i need to experience, even in job wise, perhaps to try out a couple of industries, or stay at one as long as possible, if there is opportunity for growth and monetary increment too.

Cheers.

Long Weekend.

Nice one, the day at work was fine.

As initiated days ago by myself, our department had an outing again. This time, we went to watch Piranha 3D, in non 3D format. Lol. Illuma Filmgarde has no 3D. During lunchbreak, the few of us went together to buy the movie tixs, and had our lunch at Subway. After work, we hung around at Bugis, while waiting for Diana, and then went over to catch the movie. Movie was good, fun but gross, with violent blood and gore, showing naked ladies with sexy boobs, and bitten endlessly and violently by the prehistoric breed of Piranhas. It is an R21 movie anyway.

Went to eat dinner at "Fish Market' after. We were joking about fishes, as the 3 of us, Gabriel, Diana and myself were all Pisces. Our manager Kelly's boyfriend Wayne(also one of our Manager colleague), is also nicknamed as 'Fish' during his time when he was seated inside a glass office. Although that was too much of fishes, we take it as humour and jokes perpetually.

After having a full, but not so outstanding meal and services by the 'fish' restaurant, we headed back home for retirement. It was quite a long day after office hours, and we had movie and dinner, as a form of our informal team bonding for our small department. It was just for fun, once again.

Went back text and called WH, my girlfriend to find out how was she. She sounded asleep, when i called. And then we are to meet up today for another movie. So will be meeting her soon.

Thank God i found her. Love you, W.H. You are my cutest slim pig. :)

Affirmation.

I will:

Love my job.

Love my career.

Love my education.

Love my mother.

Love my grandmother.

Love my girlfriend.

Love God.

Love The Universe.

Love Heaven.

Love motherearth.

Love mankind.

Life's not always fair. TGIF.

Daytime:

Today's a normal day at work. A sensitive me will rate a day as 7.5 out of 10 today.

My former Marketing Dip classmate, Joanne came to my office to collect her cheque, and we went for lunch break. We had vegetarian food at FLS complex, because today's 15th, she said. I'm getting to like her more, as a friend. Saw her to bugis mrt, before going back to work.

Evening's trip to Orchard Plaza to hunt for a thai disco has been cancelled. Was a little disappointed with my friend Wj, and J, for cancelling.

____________________________________________________________

Back home:

Another friend was dissapointed at work. So i smsed him when back home:

'Dear xxxxxx, do not be disheartened. Life is not always fair. We sometimes have to pick up the courage to fight for our rights. Since you are expert in your jobscrope, then you should be confident in yourself and speak up. Unless you feel you are not good enough, then no need to say. Free then we go for a drink. Cheers'.

____________________________________________________________

At night:

I'm just addicted to studies. It's most probably because of my aspiration to gain high academic status, the hunger and greed to achieve the status. And probably because of my 'Feng Shui', 'Confucius' and 'Zhuge Liang' statues in my study desk.

I cannot take it, i am going to study a Master. I have been researching on which is my most viable Master degree course since last November. Eventually i found it, a new MEd. Apart from that, ACTA and TESOL will buff up my dream career. To be a total overall of a Trainer, Instructor, Teacher, Lecturer, Coach, Tutor, Educator, and a Facilitator.

The dream is with $$$$$, i shall make it happen.

Cheers.

Review on Bachelor of Communications(Communication Management)

On the verge of graduating from the Bachelor of Communications (Communication Management), i would like to give a personal review on this course.

In fact, this is unique communication course offered by ECU (or Edith Cowan University) which gives a good coverage of the overall focus in communications related.

Some of the key words and values that i could described from studying this course are 'PR(Public Relations)', 'Marcom(Marketing Communications)', 'Branding', 'Rhetoric', 'Marketing', 'Power of Persuasions', 'Communication skills', 'Advertising','Employee relations', 'Corporate Social Responsibilities' and 'Crisis Management'.

You see, in the business world, having good communication skills are really important to serve effective disseminations of messages, and to build good employee relations, producing high morale and relationships among employees to employees, and employees to their bosses. As said, better morale workers are better workers. And getting along well with one another at work will nevertheless help in the commitment towards a job.

With a good Corporate Social Responsibility message or activity from the Company, it will not just uphold it's current good image towards the public, but also enhances it (if there are CSR activities to be organized). Good PR will contribute to a company's profitability in long run. The study of PR can also make those in the organizations more ethical in their businesses.
All these values can be learnt through the study of PR modules offered by the programme.

In identifying our own images, or selling ourselves towards the job market, having good branding of ourselves is essential. Strategic branding module helps us identify our missions and objectives towards a job, or just from within ourselves. It also helps us find our values. In identifying all these, we could then brand ourselves in a clearer aspect. We would also more likely be able to brand our own desired image towards the public, and anyone around us. I would say that this is a hip module to study. It will increase your image power and identifying yourself better. It will let you transform yourself to who or what you want to be.

In communication management modules, it covers every elements of things from linguistic to the power of persuasions and negotiations. Rhetoric, the use of effective communications is also one of the very powerful tools or techniques we can get from these modules. Study them well and you could be the next Obama.

Although marketing is lesser in this original course, Marcom has been taught in these course. The marketing tools to communicate a campaign or sales effectively are definitely useful in communicating with the stakeholders, to bring out the best of the messages. Whereas marketing itself is a more comprehensive coverage of Consumer behaviour, marketing research, marketing management and etc.

Advertising has also been taught in this course, but lesser than what mass communications degree course will offer. However, this communication degree has an Advertising module in International aspect, which the element of modules in international aspects are usually cultural studies and global issues.

Apart from some of the modules mentioned, there are also other marketing modules(as electives or bridging) and also modules like Media in Asia, foundations for PR and advertisings related.

In all these, some would say that this degree i am taking is a business + communication related degree (which one may also call this a business communications degree). I would deem it as a good mix of business, communications, marketing, advertising, and of course, Public Relations related degree which PR could be the most prominent focus in this case. Ultimately, i would still simplify it's calling to a 'Communication degree'.

In the Corporate world, i guess in the execution of PR crisis communications-management plan, this role requires someone to be specialised at it (as not many can do it). With someone who is a PR person, this job roles is a high level job for him/her. In academic wise, this person should be a degree level person. Because when there is a crisis in a company, the company is at stake, especially when having it's image towards the public. What's worst is that the media will be involved. And any wrong words or expression communicated will be broadcasted to the world or nation on screen, which consequences could be dire. And to be a spoke person or someone handling the media, requires a head of the company, which is usually the CEO, in most cases. Therefore for a CEO to be well prepared in PR issue is imperative, or his next PR staff to advise him must be someone high in level, such as a PR manager, or even a PR director.

I rate this course as 7.5 out of 10, and i still give a thumbs up, because of it's strong PR focus and the elements of powerful communications from Communication management modules.

If you take whatever course that is fine to you, set your mindset to say 'I love it', and you will nevertheless love it.

All the best!

Globes for Feng Shui.

Globes are great energizers to bring up one's career, expansions in business, academic pursuits and promoting great interest in studies etc.

Globes signify wisdom, intelligence, smoothness in endeavours and expanded network. Most affluent people, highly educated people, high ranked people such as judges, lawyers and politicians would place a globe on their work desks.

Globes also bring popularity and recognition besides bringing in confidence in people. They are also potent energizers to enhance mentoring luck.

For businessmen, the globe would secure sales going global. Many logos of firms and successful company uses a globe to signify this.

Earth energy in globes are important for potency.

4. To gain support from important people and helpful people into your career, literary pursuit and business, be sure to have this item in the northwest.

Blessed~

Great god. I do advise one who at least believe in God, but not literally a christian, to talk to God verbally in your quiet time. It helps. The minimum u can even do is to play some Lord's music in your room, or hymn a tune of Christ. You could feel the effect of goodness somehow traverse around you. Although the effect may be subtle, it is your faith that God sees and decide to bring you the degree of effects.

Anyway, i'm glad that a new career has found me. This time, i must put it to good use, and cherish what i have been granted, without much sweat, when compare to others. Heaven is siding me now. The only challenge i need to conquer is my sleep. And a dateline to meet, for the corporate communication assignment.

Got to force an owl to become a good early bird though. Melatonin or Dormicum will need come to my aid. And the Lord will aid me through the night these couple of days, for my assignment.

Well, all the best to me on my assignments, and permanently, on my sleep. ;)

July.

July, good for all Singaporeans, we will be getting our $200 stimulus plus package. Helps us in some ways. A short term morale booster, but it's good enough.

Sometimes life gets so bored. Was wondering what's the real purpose of life. To me, it is to live not just an earthly legacy, but also to build an eternal legacy in heaven.

Despite no miracles, what i could do is to do a daily devotion; not about reading any religious books or what, but to look at uni assignments and to complete them properly and promptly, before graduating in a couple of months time.

In these couple of months, my sideline does help me survive, although much worst than one could expect. And self-developing is always my forte, but to ultilise on the use of the knowledges acquired is hardly required and thus sometimes things may go down to waste. At least self-development courses with certificates does help in job employments, or enhances the consideration of a relevant or related job.

In this couple of months, i will have to hold myself down with my sideline work, and keep fit whereby possible. Keeping positive is also important to living a better life.

Well, pen off for now. *Yawnz*

Thank you.

I cannot sleep till 06.12am and thus update this blog.

I am thankful and brand myself as a Freelance Security Professional for the moment.

However, i was even more thankful that income comes in to me in the form of multiple sources, not just through Security jobs, but also through sources such as ebays, self-defence and vice versa.

Really thank God for all the blessings and abundance of wealth that comes to me bits by bits, by his blessings.

Too bad, my father had passed on when i was young. In layman, we were told that his had sudden brain stroke, while making a business trip to Beijing, for china market opportunities for his construction and engineering business.

In fact, i do feel that should he be alive till now, we could make good partners for any new businesses, if his old one could not sustain. This year, my mother told me that the death certificate stated Cardiac Arrest, and i dug and looked at it, indeed, true.

Luckily on my own, i recognised the need for CPR skills, and am now trained in CPR. Whether or not i could remember all steps for the kiss of life would depends on the real situation, which i've not encounter. Of course, the best is not to encounter.

I'm not sure what the Lord has in plan for me, but judging from my intense interest in uniform jobs, it seems that i am really back onto it, just that i have to be more specific in the roles and unit in the uniform jobs. Perhaps, the feeling from within us is what God has inspired us to do, which he had planned for us.

I live each day simple, till the day i complete my degree course and got my degree, i will start to accelerate and advance forward towards my career, and then next, i will have to find a girlfriend(I hope it's not too late). ;)

Letter

Got the above letter weeks ago out of nowhere inviting me to apply for the post of Military Security Investigator. The description matches my preference perfectly and enticed me to apply. However, the pay i expect for the above job is at least $2000, as my former Auxiliary Police job already earned me a gross of $2.3k

Of course, i bet 50/50 on the application outcome. Anything related to the uniform, Security, Military, Bodyguard, Special Forces can intrigue and entice me to join them. It is also a fact that i don't deny being in one of the forces may be able to satisfy my sadistic hunger for fantasy, actions and kills, though in reality,in our local context, all these may not be too feasible. Put it in a rather positive way. Defending the nation and having the security of our nation at heart is my forte, while actions are my fantasy.

Right now i am still waiting for the outcome, while doing so, another recruitment company recently called me out of nowhere, told me they searched through jobstreet and asked me to take up another executive assistant position at a private education centre, due to my previous experience as a relations officer in APMI. Of course, this is a milder, but i would say, a more positive industry, which is also my second favourite, to be in the education sector.

Will go see how, as nothing will be confirmed. To graduate from the degree and clearing the last term of the whole course at end September is my top priority. High rank, high pay is my only pride. I am someone who prefer to lead, than to follow. I am someone who loves power and likes to manage. You have to give me power to give me dignity. You have to be auto respected by me to let me be under you.

Arrwoo!! *Fist up*

Writing in to DBS.

Here's a little informal suggestions to DBS, let's see if next few weeks, the action is taken:


'Hi there, i've been staying in Ubi Ave 1 Blk 342 to 352 cluster for more than 10 years. But it seems that there is an inconvenience to getting an ATM, as the nearest is at the Central.

Although it is a walking distance, i believe for those who don't drive, it will still be a hassle to walk a good 15 to 20 mins to the central to get the POSB Bank's ATM each time.

Likewise, if i have to go to the bank/ATM/Deposit machines, i will rather drive than to walk a distance and perspire, so you can see for those who don't drive and need to walk, it's a hassle.

Taking a bus 1 to 2 stops is also a waste of time and money, just to intentionally go to the ATM.

My strong suggestion in mind over the years is that if possible, please install an ATM and Cash Deposit at the cluster of Blk 342 to 352 as this cluster is the end of the residential HDB area, which the rest of the parts are all industry area.

Thank you for your time, and i sincerely hope that this suggestion could be implemented, for the convenience of everyone in the area'.


Regards,
Kenray

Let's see what will happen.....

First Date Etiquette

Dress appropriately for the occasion - be it a formal dinner or an outdoor activity.

Saying nothing actually means something - express how you feel through a gesture or a smile, just don't hide your feelings.

Adjustments never end - your life may look great for a moment, but it can change. The point then, is to enjoy every step of the process and moments of your experience.

Walk your talk - people respond to demonstrations of values rather than demands. Live out what you believe through your actions instead of expecting people to change to make things better.

There's no price tag on love - whether your date is happy being with you is not dependent on how rich you are.

Satisfaction depends on where you look - do not just focus on a person's weakness or flaws, everyone has a gift or talent you can find if you look for it.

The more you give, the more you will believe in yourself - by doing something for someone, both of you will enjoy each other's company a lot more! It will also increase your self-confidence.

Lastly, emotions last longer than events - remember that your emotional reactions wil be remembered far longer than the issue that is upsetting you.

The Ying and Yang cannot balance.

Where's my fucking CB confidence. I set an inner standard within myself so high that when there's a little flaws, be it work, studies or leisure that they will hurt my pride and ego, and i am sensitive on how people sees, when people in reality base, doesn't really care.

I'm feeling no confident towards ladies, that is why love never happens. I don't have the habit of calling people, especially gals. This could have been years conditioned till numb now.

I am never able to sleep early at night, and i think i jolly well migrate to the State one day, where the day is the night here, and the night is the day.

My problem is such a great extend of high level that logically, no one can sees what's really wrong, and i definitely cannot solve it myself. My close buddy says he hears my problem as a no problem, where i see things as a problem.

I sometimes could not balance my ying and yang qi, perhaps. I cannot balance the good and bad. I cannot balance the peace and love.

An unknown fear sometimes keep attacking me. I am so spiritually sensitive.

Could it all be becos of the unable to sleep well at night, thus the morning seems horribly hallucinated?

Nothing can really seems to satisfy me well. Where's the joy, where i find no joy in many things.

Could i be unsound? Could i be living in illusions? Was i being cursed?

Or could it be bipolar(like Ris Low)?

The mystery is yet to unfold....

Words of wisdom from Strategic Brand Management

Set your goals based on your values, not on i could, i would, i should or i will if.....

Stop waiting for anything instead, initiate 100% of the time.

Keep your long term goals in mind and act accordingly.

Not everything on your To Do List is urgent and important.

Accept help from others so that you can accomplish your goals.

There is only so much you can accomplish in a day and it's usually less than you aim for.

If you get six things on your To Do list done in a day, you've accomplished a lot.

If your system isn't working, figure out why, fix it and try again.

You need to look at tomorrows schedule today.

You need to look at today's schedule today

If you do it now, you won't have it hanging over your head later.

Believing you will never be organised is a self-fulling prophecy.

Believing you can be organised is also a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Jusy because today seems a mess, doesn't mean tomorrow can't be productive!

Some businesses which had been closed for festivities will reopen and prayers will be held in order to be blessed with prosperity in the upcoming year. The more conservative Chinese businesses may choose to open on the fifth day, which is considered more auspicious.

5th Day - Birthday of Ox
Known as Po Wu (Breaking of five), the fifth day is also regarded as the birthday of the God of Wealth. Businesses traditionally reopen on this day, to await blessings from the God of Wealth.

6th Day - Birthday of Horse
The sixth day marks a time to visit temples, relatives and friends, to catch up with classmates or acquaintances.

7th Day - Birthday of Men
The seventh day is named Ren Ri (Human Day), known as the birthday of Human beings. To honour the day, a special dish made of raw fish and vegetable salad is prepared, called Yu Sheng (Raw Fish), interpreted as a homonym for yu sheng (increasing abundance). Yu Sheng is considered a symbol of Abundance, prosperity and vigour, and is very popular locally.

8th Day - The Completion Day
On the eighth day, people usually have another family reunion dinner, and at midnight, they pay their respects to the Jade Emperor.

9th Day - Birthday of Jade Emperor
Highly revered in Taoism, the Jade Emperor is known as Yu Huang or Yu Di, and is identified as the Ruler of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld/hell. Offerings are offered in the customary ritual.

10th to 12th Day
To fully celebrate the Chinese New Year, no expenses are spared as the feasting and merriment continues through the tenth to twelth day.

13th day - Birthday of God of War
It is a day for some light vegetarian food, to detoxify bodies from all the feasting over the last two weeks. this is also dedicated to the God of War, known as Guan Gong. Representing loyalty, strength and justice, most companies in China will pray to Guan Gong for success in business and to rise above the rest.

14th day - The Lantern Decoration Day
Traditionally, families are bustling about preparing food, decorations and other festivities for the Lantern Festival on the following day. However, in Singapore, Lantern Festival is associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated on the 15th day of the eight lunar month, when the moon shines the brightest.

15th day - Lantern Festival
Yuan Xiao Jie(the 15th day of the 1st lunar month), also known as Lantern Festival, marks the full moon after the New Year. Another reunion dinner is held with Lanterns and oranges. It is customary to eat sweet rice dumplings call Tang Yuan (round balls in soup), which are made of glutinous rice flour and staffed with sweet filings, symbolising reunion.

Vision - Conversations with God.

Vision on 27/01/10 - Conversations with God

It has been so long since I last wrote a diary. A type of 'scribble' i've quite long not written. Coming Friday is my exam, quite the first time i've not studied deeply. I'm now a little unclear, but was quite visionable in my near fututre. But to seek a love soul, i've not have any vision yet, on how or where to find. How could i imagine? Taking this toll to inspire my subconscious, I wonder how could i disguise, the emptiness that falls within me.
Sometimes I find myself really clueless on how to get a girl. Looking at everyone around me, practically married or attached, have gone into their upper phases of life, yet I am still waiting for mine. Truely a miracle of hopes lies before me, a transition I believe will change my life forever, soon and I've yet to see the door near. I guess I will, when the time comes, in months to come, I believe this will happen. A graduate degree certs awaits me, a job the heaven knows that I'm born to do, a gal god probably wants me to have, a baby gal born and then a baby son.

Conversations with God: - In sync with Vision

Son, do not hesitate, do not be disheartened, or try to heal a wounded soul, for I am there for you, be it deep, or within or none that you guessed. I'm always there, lying underneath you, my child. Do not worry for you will see the glory of god, his love for your righteousness, that will heal your wounded soul, seeking courage, making you wholesome, and giving you love. Greatest love will be brought on you, beautiful gal you will see, Angels blessed that you will be, miraculous molecules transforming you deeper. By then a true heat of courage and might will see the righteousness for you see, courage brings loves and brings a wounded soul to cure fully. Money and wealth grows deeper, changing you into deeper paradise , a lady so compelling to you that you will have the greatest love ever, and a bliss of heart, a blessed soul that she wants to be with as you both connect together and bring justice and peace and happiness on earth and a deep baby gal to be born practically, idealistic and mature shall be her character, yet a next boy so heartedly in love with his parents that he turned faithful with a mystery and an accent of deep voices....*Abrupt*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
