being "chair"

Each time I close my eyes, I still snapshots and memories of this March Break's Winter Camp @UCC. If anyone told me several years ago that I would be part of a committee that would plan for this event, I would have probably laughed and said this was a complete joke. But here I am, and God truly blessed me with the opportunity to work with Raphy, Steve and Montana to plan a camp filled with memories and laughter!
       God's plans are truly amazing and He has certainly blessed me with this opportunity to lead this year. Being a "chair" seemed like the scariest thing, but God made this job look so great! I pray that He will continue to give me courage to step onto other serving role and serve for His will...
        Despite having many difficulties and hardships along the way, I truly thank previous chairs and family that have supported me along the way!
        Even though I haven't seen any response surveys from the didomites, I have a nudge from the Spirit saying that God was truly happy to know what happened at this camp! When the speaker of the camp came up to me and told me that he was enjoyed the camp and how the team ran the entire "retreat." I was shedding tears of happiness in my head!

But all that retreat happened because God made it so...
I don't think that even tickets to OneDirection's concert would make be happier this March weekend...

failure

failure. The way I feel about myself today...I did a horrible job and my head is filled with regret. I want to go back and do it all over again but that's simply impossible. Bible study yesterday was a big mess! I felt like I was speaking about the bible but not being productive about it. My group deserved a better bible study leader and a better bible study. I apologize to my group that they had to sit through that. I apologize to my pre-study leaders for butchering their prestudy like that...but most of all, I owe an apology to God. I'm sorry that bible study turned out like that. It's been hard to recover from this regret but I guess... As God continues to mold me into a better leader and prune me to bear better and stronger fruit...I will listen and dedicate my life to hear what He has instored for me! ~c.h.

slice of life: hospital playlist review

Image
        As a long-time asian drama viewer, my friends, family members and I always critique television shows for depicting unrealistic lifestyles and showcasing illogical love stories. Hospital Playlist is a clear exception, as it illustrates the life of five long-time friends who meet in medical school. They eventually wind up working as surgeons in Yulje Hospital. As they deal with the emotional roller coaster that comes with being a doctor, Professor Song-hwa, Ik-Joon, Jun-wan, Seok-Hyung and Jeong-Won also tackle normal life as a 40 year old. Just like ordinary humans, we often forget that doctors are also succumb to sickness, familial problems and career changes. The "slice of life" drama does not shy away from illustrating the two-fold life of a doctor- both as society's superheroes and ordinary individuals. Amidst their fast-paced work environment, viewers get a peek into doctors' lives, as they work tirelessly to maintain a sense of humanity in a highly stress

real faces and happy endings: it's okay to not be okay review

Image
       As an Asian-Canadian, I sincerely thank the producers, actors and writers of "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" for creating a drama that sheds light on mental illnesses and childhood trauma. While illustrating a beautiful love story, they have opened the door for viewers to discuss and reflect on our mental health and emotional burdens. By breaking the stigma around mental health issues, "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" is a healing television series that explores the life of an eccentric fairytale author (Moon-young) and psychiatric hospital nurse (Gang-tae). As we learn about their childhood hardships, viewers embark on a journey where both characters learn to unleash their shackles and live for themselves. We also meet Sang-tae, Gang-tae's autistic brother who struggles with being independent and post-traumatic stress. At the psychiatric hospital, viewers are also introduced to a group of patients who are battling their own demons- from alcoholism, depressi
