It wasn't so interesting when I wake up this morning. I was
trying to smile but all I did was just showing a grin on my face without its
sweetener. More like drinking a hot coffee without a sugar – black and bitter.
So I was wondering about how would I continue my day today with this body and
mind condition. Thank God, Alex brother text-ed me and we planned to hit the
Complex today.
I didn't realize the moment I laugh happily this afternoon.
I can’t even remember what things I faced that change me drastically without
even noticing it. All I knew is, I was clinging with my superb BF, Abby since
early in the morning. I think she have done something great with putting an
exact amount of sweetener into the smile. Gracias didi J

Today was just another ordinary day with another important
knowledge come into my heart. All thanks to Mr. Vijayen for helping us so much
with our Action Research. As in lecture room today, I was trying to pay
attention as much as I can along with giving my heart along. It’s hard to
understand .something especially from a super great idealist like him if I didn't take my ear, eyes and heart together.

I finished reading the book entitled “Little Princes “by
Conor Grennan today.
This is an inspiring story and a page turning-adventure.
Conor, is the man who promise to bring home the children of Nepal. Each page of
the book pictured a great view of the life he had been through there. I can say
that the writer really know how to lure me inside the situation he has been,
anywhere in the book. If the place is cold, then I really can imagine how cold
it was. If the place is in a very dangerous situation, then I can picture the
situation well. When he is sad, I really can feel how deep the hurt was. So do
when he fell in love, I can felt the embrace too! Well said Conor. You did a
very great job picturing every detail in the book. You made me proud and joined
the NGN community with hope someday I can give a great contribution to those
children.
Besides that good explanation thingy, I learned a lot about Nepal’s
culture and good-old saying like Namaste means
I salute God within you which have
been mistaken by Conor as “hey there” or
“what’s up” that he said that to all
possible living things he met at the village he went first. He was yelling that
like “Dude!” or “My Man!” to his buddies. He said that he yelled it to
everybody accompanied with a big wave – to the children, to the mother who carrying
a baby, then to the baby and even to the stray dog that he bent down to give
him a scratch behind the ears and salute God within him. That's one of my favorite part and i started liking him. I was thinking about how could i act if i was in his place or someday when i'm on my world tour? Blank -----
Well, from my point of
view, this Conor is quite fun and stronger than he thought he was. He was trying to reunite the family , finding those 7 missing children which means IMPOSSIBLE in NEPAL. He himself don't believe that he'll succeed but by all mean he did it. The last children he found was almost in the end of his story and he was speechless over time. Farid (his friend) and him didn't believe they found all the 7 children besides the other children in their house. The only one who believe it was LIZ - a woman who wins his heart. A lot of thing happens and it spark the value of finding the possible in impossible. He is a GREAT RESCUER! I can tell that this kind of man is a man every woman should marry!
Another thing that captures my heart here was the story
between him and his lady – Lizzie. Well, he did a great job by writing this: I was in love with her. I thought about her
constantly. I missed her. She was my best friend. Yet I never saw her. I mulled
over different solutions, but in the end, we lived nine thousand miles apart,
and I just didn't know if we could ever overcome that. Worse, I was afraid she
might be thinking the same thing. I knew
that there were another men lobbying to date her. Rich guys, guys with
impressive jobs in DC. I knew that she had turned them down, and she always
told me how much she wanted to be with me, not with them. But they were there
and I wasn't. I began to realize that love wasn't always enough. I walked
slower than usual that day, unable to shake that depressing realization.
What is in his mind shouldn't be something to be worry
about. When a lady fall in love, they won’t see either you got that much money
or how great a man’s status would be. So to speak, I agreed with Liz – very
much! Distance doesn't matter, condition doesn't matter. All we need are simple
care and love us the way you can do. We didn't demand a man’s look or career or etc. So that for me, When I
say 'I Love You' then I really mean it!
So, for this entry, I have something to say to the precious
man I know.
So, you’ll be
experiencing that long-distance relationship about a few months later. I don’t
know why am I saying this but I have faith with that little lady. I know she is
great with her definition of success and you always thought yourself lower than
any other man and you demand your love one to have something greater than you
can give. If you ever been in that condition, remember that the ‘SOMETHING
GREAT’ is you. Yes, it’s YOU. Second, I know she is pretty and there’ll be a
lot of man out there wanting to date her. Behold dearie, if she once gave away
her ego to come back with someone she leave behind before, that means she does
really love you, she saw something great within you and she won’t give up on
you. Be still and pray a lot. God will help you to work things out together!
Once again, thank you Brother Conor for sharing that very
interesting story!
*Off to meet with Ukulele team*
Ciao.
