"So in spite of health, wealth, and the chance to live better than ninety-nine percet of the world, the people in my imediate circle were miserable. And from the likes of the tragic stories we broadcast every day, we were hardly alone. Most everyone, it seemed, felt not only depriced in some way, but incredibly gypped about something.
We expected a perfect marriage. A bigger paycheck. A better body. A newer car. A nicer home. A second home. The smartest kids. The right college. Championship teams. Prosperity. And anything they sold at Best Buy.
Where was I going with this? Oh yes. Maybe the problem wasn't so much that we had such high expectations, because we were born hardwires to dream. it was that we all felt entitled to whatever was on our wish list.
Unfortunately, when we put our lives as collateral for happiness, there was often a small hitch. The harder we pushed, the farther we got from the finish line."

the words of God: choose not to worry
Choose Not To Worry
Matthew 6:27
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Many Christians are familiar with Jesus’ rhetorical question, “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” But not many of us actually let it get into our hearts and allow the love of God to free us from our habit of worrying.
The truth is, no amount of worrying can lengthen your life or add anything to your physical person. Instead, worrying robs you of sleep, health and many good years. In fact, it is only when you are worry-free that God’s anointing flows freely in you, strengthening, healing, restoring and adding to you.
A church member, after undergoing a mammogram, found that she had lumps in her breast. Upon receiving the doctor’s report, she wrote this down on the report: “Jesus is my healer. I receive my healing. I am healed. I rest in God completely.”
She was due back at the clinic later the same day for a biopsy to see if the lumps were malignant. Her sister-in-law, who was having lunch with her that day, witnessed her cheerful and worry-free attitude while she ate her lunch.
Back at the clinic, this precious sister sat among other ladies who were also there for their biopsies. They looked very worried, so she started sharing Jesus with them and prayed for some of them. When her turn came and she had an ultrasound scan done, the doctor was puzzled — her scan showed no evidence of any lumps!
The doctor went back to consult her colleague who had first discovered the lumps. Stunned, both doctors conducted their own investigations. They returned to her only to say, “It’s a miracle!”
My friend, when you worry, you are actually believing that the devil has the power to make inroads into your life that God cannot protect you from. But when you refuse to worry, you are putting your faith in God. You have more confidence in His love and power working for you than in the devil’s ability to harm you! When you refuse to worry, but choose to rest in the finished work of Christ, you will see the manifestation of your blessing. You will see your miracle!

the wonders of plastic surgery
i was surfing around the net
trying to find out of the title of this korean drama
which i saw on tv accidentally many years ago
plot:
one of the twins, both girls and ugly
undergo plastic surgery and became beautiful
she fell in love with this rich guy
whose family is into the flower arranging
so the thing is..
the rich guy doesnt know she went through PS
and when he does, he avoids her or some sort
(cant remember the details exactly,
having watched it briefly so long ago,
THATS WHY IM TRYING TO LOOK FOR IT AGAIN
you get the point..)
she risks her reptuation by entering a tv show
which shows the before and after of girls going through PS
apparently its a disgraceful thing to do
(PS being so common, who ever knew huh)
im not sure if she went through PS again
to get her original looks back
but the rich guy has to make a decision
whether to accept her or not ....
i've always wanted to watch it again
so i typed "korean drama plastic surgery"
and a hugeload of forums about the topic came up
at first
i got this..
http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-192906/Korean-plastic-surgery.html
it became interesting
so i went on reading
until i saw this ...
"Posted May 7 2008
i saw these pic before..you should check out the japanese actors/actresses before and after picsyou won't believe it!! more shocking than this..these celebs only did minor things...the japanese actresses and actors did their whole face"
so i typed "japan plastic surgery"
and i got this
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t309970.html
well
it didnt make a lot of difference to me
since i only recognised so few
until i saw this ..
..oh damn there's smth wrong with my comp
just scroll all the way down to ARASHI
look at them NOW
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/evielyn/Japanese/Arashi/l_arashi003.jpg
WTF
i totally forgot all about my original search
the sad thing is
its NOT JUST THEM (that i adore)
boo hooo
if all you had to do to be a star is
PLASTIC SURGERY
then anyone and everyone with talents can be it
nobody should be judged by looks anymore
because you can simply be anything or anyone
in fact
stars these days dont even need talent anymore
just lots of singing/acting classes
so if you have PS
hell ANYONE CAN BE A STAR
why go through the trouble of picking up pretty girls on the streets
if you're gonna turn them into PS queens
im surprised that there are forums about these surgeries
cost and after effects etc
well internet is powerful
http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/ftopic50308-1000.html&sid=d1832994c788edba162eac177d8dff8a
im definitely hooked on this topic
look at taiwan/hongkong stars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYfu0_96lvA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8v3VwHBaho&feature=user
makes me wonder
in every singer's album
they has a different look to portray
so do they then go through PS for a new album?
even for the slightest thing?
sheesh
this is actually quite funny

happy new year everybody
btw. I TURNED 21 :)
