Reinventing?

Last night, I went over my posts for the past few months and since I have started blogging. I found out that some of my posts are uninteresting and it really shows that it’s the works of a forty something or a mother with teen-age kids. Most posts dealt with parenting and the realities in life. In other words, it's not as interesting to a wider circle of followers especially the teenagers and young adult groups. My attempts were all confined to simple things in life.

While trying to visit other bloggers' sites, I was amazed to see how their blog sites were beautifully created and artistically made. The templates used, the layouts made, and the contents of their blog sites, all were unique in their own.

Some bloggers are very young yet full of creative imaginations. Some mostly dealt with poem writing and they were exceptional creations. Others are into fiction writing but it drives home a lot of moral.

I thought to myself and if my being a teacher would work, I would say I can give these young bloggers a grade as high as 99% or an almost perfect grade, because they are really good at their craft.

And I realized that maybe I may try to reinvent my style of writing so that I may have a wider circle of followers.

But try as I may do, I won’t let myself become a copycat or a trying hard. I would like to be myself and do what I can do without exerting too much effort yet fail in the end.

Life Is Short

Life is short
treasure it.....
we must take care of ourselves and our health.

Life is short
enjoy it.....
we may regret later we didn't try doing what would have made us happiest.

Life is short
value families and friends.....
we can no longer say "I Love You" and "I Care For You" when it's too late.

Life is short
go for your dreams.....
we must not let time pass by without letting our dreams come true.

Life is short
love and be loved.....
it's the ultimate reason why we want to exist longer in this world.


Life is short
thank God for the life He gave us.....

it's the best way of showing gratitude to the Almighty Creator.

Reality Check

Yes, we must. We must do some reality check, or sincerity check? and my friend says so. A simple rift caused me to do some reality check.

But now I do understand why we need to often undergo reality check. Especially if you are a dreamer like me. Dreamers are just dreamers. They often forget the real thing and what is real. They keep on dreaming though it seems beyond imagination and realization.

And now i realized that you can't have everything you want or anything you want in life. The best is, just dream, let it happen in a dream, it's free and nobody will know what you are dreaming of. Just keep it to yourself, just to satiate your imagination.

1 HF + 1 HF = 1HF



The title seems intriguing, isn't it? Well, the equation simply means: One Happy Family + One Happy Family = One Happy Family. How would that be possible? The story runs this way:
There's a one happy family, composed of a father, a mother and three kids. And another one happy family composed of a father, a mother and four kids. They are a blissful family. The two.
One from a happy family fell in love to a one from a happy family. The result? Equals a new happy family.

Think. How could that have happened? Is it possible?
This one new happy family wants to maintain their respective old happy family. How is that? Think.
And this one new happy family is the happiest of all. Because they found real happiness. Because they were extraordinary people who found their soul mates from the one happy family and the one happy family. Why? Now tell me how? Think.

Life is not really a bed of roses. Happy though it seems, but spices in life do come by. To create a whole new world in a whole new happy family? Maybe? And it happens. How?
That’s the simple story I want to share. Now think. Does it happen? Now think.

Exorcism

I tossed and turned in my bed and could hardly sleep tonight. It was about my hubby's story. It was about the paranormal who secretly conducted an exorcism of the devils around the neighborhood, at the heart of a banana plantation near our home. According to the paranormal's story, they reside there and not exactly in the mango
trees where the first paranormal had said. Under the mango trees are just their playground and also within the green painted house (huh? that's our house, the only house painted with green in the neighborhood?).

But what is exorcism. Based from the research I made, Exorcism is a practice of expelling

demons or evil spirits from people or places that are possessed, or are in danger of possession, by them. Exorcism usually is performed by a person with special religious authority, such as a priest or shaman. The practice was common in ancient societies and was based on the practice of magic. Ancient Babylonian civilization, in what is now Iraq, had special priests who would destroy a clay or wax image of a demon in a ritual meant to destroy the actual demon. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks had similar rites. Many religions in various parts of the world continue the practice of exorcism.

The Bible includes a number of references to demons and exorcism. The New Testament describes occasions when Jesus Christ expelled evil spirits by prayer and the power of his command. In the Roman Catholic church, exorcism is an order that priests may practice with special permission. It is mainly used as a preparation for the sacrament of baptism.

Hopefully, this time, what the paranormal have done will work. I am not really a firm believer of these things but everyone in the neighborhood does. According to the story and I continue, the man asked some rice and salt in the house beside our house because we were not home when he did the rituals so we didn't actually see what rituals he conducted.

This time when I heard the story, I didn't feel any creepy feelings anymore. Maybe they're gone now, thanks to the salt and rice being offered, maybe it worked. So that's the end of my story about evil spirits residing in the neighborhood and within us. As what my friend said, paranormal or otherwise, evil cannot defeat God. And maybe, we ourselves can exorcise the evils around us just by trusting in God's omniscient power.
