The Chicken Story

I just went home from auditing two poultry farms and...right now, I am in a very happy mood because I met  a lot of happy chickens today :)..*LOL ( No I didn't talk to them, but I looked at them..very observantly).. eheheheh... You can say, I am also the happiest when I visited happy animals in a very nice well managed farm. 

But also..last night I had a very (half) bad dream. You know...I talked about dreaming about animals and how certain kind of animals symbolized certain kind of thing??? Since of all the animals..chickens are closest to my heart..when I dream about chicken..it means (bad omen  involving me??)...and it happened that yesterday night I dreamed about three layer chickens (hen) lying on the littered floor (either unconscious or dead???). I thought it was either dead or unconscious because the minute I saw it..I was trying to revive two of them (one of them just laid an egg)..and then I woke up. However, I didn't feel "fearful or scared or sad" in my dream.. I was just trying to revive the animals.

I know this might sounds crazy..but every time I had a chicken dream..I anticipate problems likely to arise which depend on the state of the chicken. If the chicken is dead, it might means I am "dead" as well as in the problem that I am going to face is a very big one that I won't be able to overcome it. 

However, in my dream..before I saw the three unconscious or dead chickens, I saw and held a white hen which was SMALL but quite HEAVY and in my dream my gut feelings told me that the chicken was about to lay eggs. In a sense, it was also giving me hope that whatever It is that I am going to face...there is yet another hope. 

Well...All I can say for now is that.. I had a great day so I am just going to enjoy the brighter side of life.. :)

I hope you are too!

I have a Type..

Hellow..hellow... :)

Today's post is for fun..in case you think I am going to write something...serious..but it's not..

I am just totally...missing my other half..and so..today..I am reminded to write something about.."type".

Do you have a "type"..I think I do. I actually never thought about it and never once thought that I actually have a "type"...but then..when I think about all the guys that I have dated. I must confess, only one of them was actually an odd one..(maybe because he was a childhood crush)..

And the person who told me that I have a type was...my younger brother.. to my surprise..:)

So..lets talk about.."attraction"

So..up above is the picture of famous actor Lee Min Ho.. I tell you what. I really like looking at this type of guys. I love them being lean, tall, big eyes, sharp nose, full lips.. ekekekek (please don't laugh  :P)

But..I ended up marrying  that (picture above) type of guy...ekekekeke.. (yess...yess..my husband is good looking  :P) ..and I am average. hihihihi Okay. So the kind of man that I dated, mostly are the variation of Choi Jin Hyuk. Do you believe that??? :)...*LOL.. 

By the way..to tell you the truth..when I first met my husband..I was actually eyeing for his friend..but I ended up  having a great conversation with him and the rest was history.. :) (with ups & down). So I wasn't actually attracted to him, I got comfortable with him which means to say...its not always about the first impression. You just need to have a great conversation to start of a relationship. 

and..That's it...  (just for fun)... :)

Do you have a type??? 

To Be Strong

To attract people you need to be a  strong person. Why? Because people naturally attracted to those who have strengths. Ironically those who attracted people didn't become attractive because they work hard to please other people. They simply become admirable because they work hard on themselves to be good at what they are doing and in doing that they become  STRONG in character and with STRONG presence. Isn't that something to ponder?

The minute you try to imitate other people you lose yourself and become a weak person. We should never do that. We must become strong by believing in our own strength.

If you try to live this life thinking that people will remember you better because you have been good to them, I think you will probably get that wrong. People seldom remember you because you have been good to them unless you are the lovers and the one being loved. If you are just somebody, well..they might remember you when they need another round of kindness or so called help. But if you are strong, unique and someone with your own distinct character people will never forget you.

To stand out in the crowd it doesn't mean you have to dress up in certain way that will attract people. You need to catch people for the long run, so what you need to do is just to be comfortable with yourself. People stay because of who you really are and it will be better if they are attracted to you because you have that STRONG presence that nobody else have. 

You only feel weak if you have not found your true strength but don't worry about it because in time you will find your strength. You just need a lot of mistakes to recognize your strong points. Okay??

Just sending my encouragement and love this early morning.. :)

Luv you all

XOXO

DIY

What comes to mind when DIY is being spelled out?

I am sure there are a lot of things that we can do ourselves. It is not limited to sewing your own clothes or other  project that don't include hiring other people to do it or buying ready made stuff with money.

Since I get serious with the so called aggressive saving, I have been realizing a few other things about DIY. Last year I started with cooking for myself which includes preparing meal for my breakfast and for my lunch so I don't have to go out to have my meal. This year, because I realized even more the importance of saving money, I noted and realized a few other things that may help me a lot in my goal to save more.

I realized that, DIY is not something that upon mentioning makes you feel stressed because of the amount of time and hardwork that you need to spend on it. DIY is also not something that can be done only by those with a lot of time to spend.

I realized that DIY is an essential. It is something that makes you keep away from being totally enslaved by money.

I have went through a few stages in my life where money is being the question. When I was very young, I knew little about money but I knew that my parents were going through a hard time to make ends met. I understood then, that It was important to have money to survive.

When I was a teenager, I have money enough to get by my schooling years. But money was never a problem because I lived simply and my goal back then was just to excel in my study.  There were no such things as going to the hairdresser to cut my hair. No make up kit, no new shoes or sandals every now and then and definitely no cute stuff.

I learned about handling money only when I started working. (Just like everyone else). Because I don't want to make a lot of mistakes about handling money, I read a lot of book about financial management but of course theory is often not always practical because different people will have different situation and we often handle money depend on our own unique situation.

I must confess at one point of my life I was a little obsessed with the idea of "getting rich". Thank God just when I was about to get confuse with the whole idea about being rich I read a verse in a bible (Mat 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well )& coincidentally I attended a youth conference that speak about the same term. I thank God at that time that I was being taught at the right time to look for what is much more important to me before wealth and honor which is seeking for God's wisdom.

When things has started on the straight line, I have more and more clearer ideas about money and I am happy that it is never about money after all.

Like when the eye of my mind was opened to understand the meaning of DIY. I realized that life is about doing things as in encouraging yourself to become creative, innovative and also becoming active & that is not because you don't have money. It is because there are plenty of ways to live in this world without being obsessed about having more money to spend. Right??
