Love Hate

Where it begins...

Ever notice how some people you like but later don't?  And others you don't like but later do?  The premise is that if you don't like someone at first but later do then your relationship is stronger than if you liked them all along.  Something to think about...  It's the way some love stories begin...  Can you tell I've been watching too much Hallmark? 

A Moment in a Day

Who's Crazy Rich?

A friend texted me and asked me if I wanted to see this movie.  I was like, "why not?"  For one, I am Asian...  For another it is really difficult to find movies that are predominantly about Asians...  So it was great to see a movie like this that was funny.  I needed to laugh!

Just because someone says you can't...

Doesn't mean you won't!

People are people and people will say whatever they want...  Some things you will like hearing and some things you won't...  However if someone tells you that you can't then prove them wrong.  Some of the most successful people in their field are people who were once told that they were not good enough.  Guess what?  They were good enough!

Doing the Right Thing

Doing the Wrong Thing

We live in a society that thinks lying is a valuable skill...  Every major media source has an article about lying.  Is this why we have fake news?  Is this really what our society has become reduced to?  Lying?  Because we can't tell the truth?  Granted there are times when we forget or we change our minds, etc.  But when it comes to being honest about who and what we are, do you know why the lies begin?  Because you don't really feel good about yourself...  Furthermore you probably don't even like yourself...

There is a saying to put your best foot forward but that doesn't mean we should make stuff up.  At the end of the day you have to live with yourself.  How do you like and respect yourself if you know that your life is not authentic?  So what do you do?  You begin to live an authentic life...  You start telling the truth...  I think in the long run you will realize that you respect yourself more.

I live my life with the knowledge that God sees everything I do.  And I know that one day I will have to account for the way I lived my life.  Does that mean I never sin?  Of course not but I am honest about it when I do.  We are all human and we all make mistakes.  There is nothing wrong with admitting that you made a mistake.  Mistakes happen...  You just have to admit it, pick yourself up, and go on.  We would never learn if we never made mistakes...

The authentic life is a good one to live:  Live authentically unless you want your life to be nothing but a puff of air...  If you don't know something, learn and educate yourself...  Some of the best people in this world were told that they would never amount to much but guess what?  They showed them and they showed us...  Live authentically because it's the right thing to do...  You can either live a life in God's will or you can live a life in the devil's will.  Don't think it doesn't happen...  Don't think that evil doesn't exist...  Because it does and someday you will truly know the consequences and wonder why you were too dumb to care.  Eternity is forever...  Do the right thing!

I think you'll find out that you like yourself a little more and that you respect the person that you are...  by telling the truth and being yourself...

Life Happens

Why?

I am still waiting to hear about the accident...  The insurance company is investigating however I am still waiting to hear from them...  Will the girl who hit my car admit to the truth or will she commit insurance fraud?  Can you live with yourself if you lie?  From what I hear these kinds of things happen all the time however depending on the type of person you are you will either do the right thing or not do the right thing...  With consequences...  Still waiting...

The Lies People Tell

She Said What?

"Honk, Honk, Rattle, Rattle, Crash, Beep, Beep..."  Remember that song?  Well what happens when you are at a stop light on a hill and the light turns green?  And the car in front of you rather than moving forwards actually starts coming backwards at you until CRASH!  Your car is hit...  The other driver gets out and apologizes for hitting your car and says she is to blame.  So you take down her insurance info knowing that all will be OK.  Until...  You call her insurance company which gives you the runaround by not taking your calls and disconnecting you.  Later on you find out through her insurance company that she says that you hit her...  On a hill...  Up an incline...  When you are below her...  And you never took your foot off the brakes because she didn't drive forwards like she was supposed to...  Even when she admits that something was wrong with the engine and is now in the shop...

This has happened to me...  And it has happened to people I know.  Now my initial reaction was to get mad because she is lying.  However what goes around comes around and she will get hers for being dishonest.  However a friend pointed out to me that sometimes these types of things happen for  a reason.  For instance, when it happened to her, it turned out the woman who did this to her was in an abusive relationship and lied out of fear of her husband's wrath.  So does the girl who hit my car fear the wrath of an abusive father?  And why is this insurance company protecting this man?  Is she lying?  Is her father lying?  Or is the insurance company corrupt?  Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

The Geese Keep Crossing the Road

One of these days I will get a picture of geese crossing the road like in the famous Abbey Road however I am not in England so not sure when that will happen.  But that seems to be a famous crosswalk as so many have trod.  Even Snoopy!  :)  Exactly why is it that geese walk when they can fly?  Isn't this what I was asking just the other day?
