heartbeat

      I really like biology, it makes me realize that life around me is so delicate...recently, I've learned how the heart works. By using a stethoscope, I realized the magic of two strong sounds, a 'lub' and a 'dub', the closing of the heart valves. From the moment a little baby is alive in his/her mother's tummy, these two sounds start playing like a engine that is turned on. But after ten months of relying on the mommy, this human being gets the chance to live an independent life on planet Earth.        It isn't easy for the heart to continue beating, sometimes the body is really weak and tired. Sometimes, the heart needs to work so fast because we are challenging life's limits.To me, the simplest things in life are sometimes the most important. Without the heartbeat, we wouldn't be living. Without the love, we would never be happy. Without music, we wouldn't be able to express a basic universal language.        Last year, I've learnt

eyes open

          A new year. A new goal. A new start. 2014. To be honest, I got a chance to step out my comfort zone in 2013 but I hope that this year, I will be able to challenge myself in understanding my weakness and my identity. I pray that I can be humble and that people can see how I'm different than anyone else because I am a follower of Christ.           Last weekend, the retreat at Horseshoe Resort was more than just skiing and having fun but it was an opportunity to open my eyes to see things that I might not see in things around me. Things like sticking into my cliques made me realize my problems. Am I going to make an effort to meet friends? Is my goal to dress myself up to become someone I'm not?  Whether it is a struggle in the way I lead or the flaws in things around me, this retreat has re-focused me on someone greater than just ME ME and ME… happy new year and keep writing... ~ch
