Fireproof- Never Leave Your Partner Behind!

I got number of DVDs from Ernest, because i love movies! I saw this Fireproof and i chose it to watch this afternoon because I thought this is the action movie about the fireman to save lifes just like other fireman's movie! When the show began and few mins later, I started to realize that I was wrong. This isn't the action movie, this is Christian show. Anyhow, since is not the bad show, I just continued on.
The actor, fireman captain- Caleb still saving life in the movie, but more on saving his marriage! He was just typical GUY's thinking man. Never tried to help on house hold and plus the pressure that he got from his work life, he started react so different and less communication with his wife. He became so ego, selfish and lost the feeling of love to his wife and god. He started no beliving in love. Resulted, his marriage was about to go up in smoke! His parents never giving up on Caleb, and they helped him to save his marriage and more important his value toward love. The process was tough is just like how we been through our real life. We can't change the world in a day or wk, it will take times that nobody know. During the process, we can't expect any reward, we just have to continue to believe. Of course, good modal story always ended up in good ending. But, it is the meaningful ending! At least, for me... I got triggered!
A lot of times, when we are facing a lot of difficulties in our life, we started to change to be different character of person, at least I'm. The character that does not benefit anyone, but in other way destroying our life, especially relationship. We are hurting peoples who love us! I always think, I'm so important in the family, because without me, my parents cant have place to stay, food to eat or whatever. So, I have to get number 1 priority and respect! Then, I will started forget to respect or care about what my parents need. Lucky, I'm not that bad situation if compare to Caled, at least I'm still believing in God and always have some checkpoint for myself! Just, the failure of the relationship that happen last year, really ruin my life. I always think I'm the victim, and turning everything into so negative! Sigh! I believe this is not the 1st time that I want to let go it! But, I can't truly let go. That's resulted i no motivation and can't keep on my plan. Oh God! I should not continue on it! At least, started for today onward! I do not know this round, how long it will take it... but, i will always do a checkpoint on myself! That's the reason, I want to put it in my blog! I will get my own fireproof DVD! When I started to forget today feeling, I'll watch this movie again and again!
Thank god for not giving up on me! I know, everytime when I started to lost, you are trying to send some hints to me! Thank you! I can't be perfect person, but I'll do my best to be good person! Thank you- "fireproof", for bringing me back on the track! Thanks!

Lunch Box Preparation- Meal 11

Connecting into Facebook, almost like connecting to the world. We get news and sharing from every where. Today, got to know a friend's graddy passed away. All friends left 'His granddy rest in peace'. I got a triggered, why we only said rest in peace when someone is leaving the world? But, we never send such wishes to a new born baby to tell it live in peace? Shouldn't we suppose to live in peace, should we? But, when we are living, we non stop work for living, fight for living, argue for living, resulting mad, sad, hopeless. If we can live in peace, will bring us more benefits than we die in peace! Why we have to always torturing ourselves? Eddy, thanks for the 《大悲咒》 sharing. I should listen to it daily and everytime when I have negative thoguhts! Jia you!!
Anyway, we need food for living too! haha... This is another lunch box preparation. Honestly, starting to feel bored, almost run out of idea what to prepare. Lucky yesterday, I found Carol's blog, damn she is so pro! Is good reference when everytime i have no idea what to cook. :D
