Wedding preps-panic attack!
Aaaaah! I'm a bridechilla. Literally. I never actually started to seriously plan the details of my wedding, well, first because I'm not detail-oriented. Oh yeah, I am! But being a girl, it's actually hard to decide on what I really really want for my wedding. Next, we are on a budget NO we're more of practical. Sure, this is once in a lifetime event and we want only the best. However, being tied to a budget is really hard. If I had only all the money in the world, I'd choose the BEST suppliers without batting an eyelash. But I don't want to start married life poor (if you know what I mean). And third, I just wanted to be married to the love of my life peacefully. Why is wedding planning so stressful for me? Hahaha! But it's a kind of stress I'd welcome in my life.
So as I was saying. I'm a bridechilla. For the past months since I got engaged, I haven't sat down on the nitty-gritty details. I have booked all the major suppliers that I needed (I think!). And after that, I'd been procrastinating, just making the most of our engagement period. Hahaha! Until NOW. I suddenly realized, April is about to end. Ack ack ack! Need to seriously start planning the details.
Happy preps to us!

Bitterness Kills
Read this message from one of the FEAST Builders:
Have you ever seen a drug addict? He looks so skinny and haggard that it's like he walked out from the TV show, "The Walking Dead". This is because not only does shabu prevent you from eating for days, its chemicals poison your body.
Sadly, this is exactly what happens to people who don't forgive. Bitterness is a drug. As human beings, aside from physical food for our body, we all need love for pur soul. Bitterness not only prevents you from receiving love, it actually poisons your body.
I am sure you have heard this before: Chronic anger for someone is like holding a knife to stab your enemy -- except that you hold the blade instead of the handle. So each time youbstab, your enemy may not even feel it, but your hand is cut deep. The tighter you grasp, the harder you stab, the deeper you cut yourself. SO STOP CUTTING YOURSELF.
Do not wait for the other person to say sorry, or deserve forgiveness. If someone pushes you in deep swimming pool and you are drowning, do you say, "I will not start swimming unless you say sorry". Do you see how insane that is?
Sadly, that's what bitter people do. They wait for the offender to repent before they forgive them -- not understanding that they are already drowning in their bitterness and their anger is already ruining their lives.
Our founder, Bro. Bo often says, "You forgive not because they deserve to be forgiven but because you deserve to forgive. You deserve the inner happiness, spiritual freedom, and if I may add, the robust health that comes from forgiving others."
So today, as we ask the Lord for physical healing, let's also ask for him to helpnus remove any unforgiveness in our hearts.
Do not do it for the other person. Do it for yourself and stop hurting yourself.
You deserve it!
Be blessed.
Bro. Ped

Yeah, I deserve it. :) After almost 5 years, I think it's time to truly and sincerely forgive.

The year that was
This 2017, I promised to update this blog more often (just what I have promised last New Years' but failed to do teehee). I hope to write about the best of my 2016 but I still have wedding-related errands to do, hence, I will do it on Thursday (yes, I have to be specific with my goals!). I will have time for myself for the next two weeks as I'll be starting my new work on the 16th! Hooray!
For the meantime, this picture sums up my 2016:
Aside from those written above, fiance and I already bought a property. Aaack! I am so excited! Really, I am so blessed this year.
For the meantime, this picture sums up my 2016:
This year, I earned my MBA (after 3 years yay! 
🎓), got engaged 
💍, lost my engagement ring (and thankfully found it 
😆), went to Vietnam with Avon ladies 
💄, went to US 
🇺🇸 (first out of the country trip with my fiancé), attended 4 weddings 
👰🏻 and got a new job 
💼. Certainly, 2016 is one for the books. 
🙏 Thank you, Lord 
❤️
