LENT

Good friday is coming soon. So, during this season, we need to take some serious time to pray and figure out where God is in our lives, and where God is calling us to serve. We need to re-focus our lives to be more in line with God. FRIENDS!! REMEMBER TO PRAY HARD!! The prayer will be very powerful, you can also experience God's forgiveness as we return to Him. Now, i would like to introduce some cool things to do during lent season. Before that, what does Lent have to do with us? Lent is a resolution to simplify our lives, and return to the One who loves us--Jesus. Student like me, it's pretty easy to get caught up with assignment, test, and etc. Our lives are filled with stress and distaractions that take us away from living a life with Christ. We try to fill our free time with mindless video games, dating with girls (not me) and meaningless alcohol or other things. So this lent season is a time for us to give up somethings like tv, pc games and cutting out all that distracts us to leave time with God.

COOL THINGS TO DO FOR LENT

1. Skip one meal a day and give the money to the poor.
2. Start a prayer"rhythm. "Say a prayer every time you brush your teeth,or check your e-mail.
3. Read a chapter in the Bible a day. (Matthew is a good gospel to start with).
4. Forgive someone who doesn't deserve it (maybe even yourself).
5. Give up coco-cola or beer. Give the money you save to charity.
6. Spend thirty minutes a day in silence.
7. Write someone a thank you letter.
8. Say one nice thing to someone each day.
9. Pray for others on your way to work or school.
10. Volunteer one afternoon a week at your church, a home for underprivileged, tutoring program etc.

Before i conclude, i personally feel very touched that there are some non-Catholics around me who at least still try to accept and believe in Roman Catholic by attending my Church. GOOD JOB! KEEP IT UP! Unlike others who never try to understand and accept it. "Those who hear the word and accept it, bear fruit a hundredfold" God bless!

Bicycle

What is the things that you need the most in your everyday life?Perhaps your handphone,camera or the bible.Well,after I start my german class,bicycle is one of the things that I can't live without it.Early morning I have to cycle to the college;climbing up the hill,riding down the hill with high speed.It is a kind of fun.However,sometimes when the road is wet,the dirty H2O will splash up onto my clothes.Disgusting!Why I want to cycle to college instead of using the van?It is not because I want to exercise,but is because I want to wake up late,to enjoy my sleep.Well,cycling could be dangerous with the present of some irresponsible drivers.Sometimes,I really can't believe the way cars don't respect me.I still could remember at one time,the car driver just simply took a right turn in front of me at the junction near the student houses.The second time was when I saw my friend 'Raymond' being horned by the idiot who didn't have a sense of sympathetic.Anyway,bygones be bygones.Ok!Ok!Cycling is actually quite enjoyable,sometimes you could feel that you are flying,especially when you ride fast down the hill.I like to watch the scenary on the way and the cool breeze caressing my face.To conclude;riding bicycle is a perfect thing in my life.
