time

Time is an important factor to a lot of people's lives. People are on schedules everyday whether they are working as doctors or lawyers, teachers or factory workers. For young adults, they go to classes with timetables. Many people in this world are always asking why God simply created 24 hours, a bunch of time zones and 365 days in a year. During a chat on Friday with a group of friends, they reminded me that there is a time for every little thing [up and downs], but ultimately, we are in charge of how we spend it. 

If you've read my last post, 'shocked, sad, tragic', I quoted that 'Life is precious...' , so I question everyone who reads my blog, are we making the most out of every single second, minute, hour? Recently, Cory Monteith and Talia Joy, two great celebrities that I love passed away. I thought to myself what my legacy would be if God brought me back to heaven tomorrow. 

So, on a final note, I just wanted to share a passage of Scripture from Ecclesiastes 3, I believe it is a beautiful poem [better than all the ones I've ever written]

A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything
  and a season for every activity under heaven.
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to kill and a time to heal, 
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak
a time to love and a time to hate, 
a time for war and a time for peace.
He [God] has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the        hearts of me; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,11 

I hope this blog encourages you to make use of everyday you have on planet Earth...

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
