a carnation and a rose

Flowers are signs of life. This week, I got to see two different types of flowers that symbolize two complete different symbols of love.
The first one is a white carnation. A symbol of romantic love coming to life. As a walk pass the hallways on Monday, I saw this girl holding her boutique of white carnations. They were beautiful, romantic but most importantly, it reminded me that there was some boy in my school that cared about her so much enough to send her a special sign of affection.
The second one was a white rose that I held today at a funeral. The funeral was a celebration of life and a symbol of appreciation to an accomplished mommy after  years of hard work raising her children. Even though she is no longer living. the seeds that she has planted in this world are actively spreading the love that she once gave. restinpeace


motherly love, fatherly love, family love, and romantic love are all types of affection that we should never take for granted....because God sent these types of love into our lives for a reason. embrace it.

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

shocked, sad, tragic

#glee#prayforlea#shocked#tragic#sad    My favourite Glee star Cory just passed away......all over Youtube are comments that are so meaningful, one that struck me read...         Glee lost an idol         A lover lost her heart         Music lost a voice         Heaven welcomed an angel i just hope that everyone out there can be reminded that life is precious...and we must remember to thank the Lord each day for those around you... The last song that Rachel Berry sang on Glee was a Celine Dion song called To Love You More . This song means a little more to everyone today because a wonderful actor left for heaven yesterday. i just want to share some of the [amazing] lyrics to you "I'll be waiting for you  Here inside my heart  I'm the one who wants to love you more  You will see I can give you  Everything you need  Let me be the one to love you more"  God Bless, ch
