Hi there.
I know I haven't done a great job keeping my blog up to date. Shame on me :(
But I have just been really busy with other things I consider more important like juggling uni stuff to the welcoming exam , my personal goals I have set for myself, growing my relationship with Christ even more, starting a new ministry, continuing on with my other ministry, and spending time with friends. So yes I have been busy lately.
I actually was up for 24 straight hours. I came home, slept for just couple hours, then got up. And now I feel horrible. Maybe more tired than being sick.
Well, I think blogging is more important to refresh my stressful-mind rather than sitting down and facebook-ing. Don't you think?
For sure, I do need to prioritize my life, duties, wishes, and wants a little better.
Go Hanna Go!!
So, today's topic is......... *drum rolls
What is it you are longing for?
Kind words. Acceptance by surroundings. That person who will love you back. That person who will listen attentively when you talk. That friends who will provide their times in your every difficult times. That parents who will understand your problems. Or maybe that boss who will appreciate your efforts and hard work.
I would say that we do suffer from lots of indifferent things almost on a daily basis. It happens and unfortunately it rises from our closest circumstance. It does hurt when we are on the seen that those lovely people couldn't care less what impact it may have on us. We might disappointed and feel we have been violated.
I find out that my life is quite far off from the life I really want and I go around and try to find someone to blame.
Starts on my family's dilemma, friends matter, untrusted love, and many more.
I just realized that not all things I desire to be happened will be happened.
So I went into break facing many questions.
Why would God allow this to happen to me when I felt I was excelling? What did I go wrong? Does God want me to focus on something? Was God trying to get my attention? Do I have any reason to give up?
All these questions have been flooding my thoughts and prayers.
Then I jump to a conclusion that it's part of life pretending that it really doesn't matter when in fact it really has done hurting my soul.
You know what??!
I got BIG ZERO for that termination.
We do needs other in our lives. It is part of our design. If you go on thinking about it, all of our deepest longings stand in need of others around us to come through for us. Say YES If you agree with me.
Someone said, events and decisions that happen around you and in your lives are just occasions. Instead of going into your shell or let say your comfort zone, blaming others, clamming up, and becoming an isolated person, we are better to seek the positive side and to use no more our glasses but God's glasses to be able to see the whole picture.
Now, everything is different.
I believe God put my family, friends, and you in my life for a great purpose. I will have to give thanks for the close door and to be ready to go through the doors when God opens it. Let's live our life to the fullest :)
Have a blessed day peeps!
NB: "And we know that all things work together for good to then that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28)

Fail?? It's NOT a big deal!
Hi peeps!! How's life going??
I wanted to blog couple days ago, but it seems impossible since I was pretty busy lately coz uni hit me with lot of reports and tests.
By the way, I'm on my week break now yay!! *happy face
Okay, to make it short, let starts :P
Hmm.. Are you guys familiar with the words
I bet all of you have ever gone through a failure or even failures in the journey of your life whether it is a failure in education, work's environment, family, friendship, love, or relationship with God.
Well, it's human nature and it's just normal!
I bore some failures which certainly annoyed my mood overnight. I was completely miserable and I felt like I was the biggest looser in the earth. Shame was my friend and my world was full of disappointment. It sounds dramatic, huh?
For all time, my life has transformed since I adapted a new perspective about failure. And I want you to know that nobody born loser. Nobody!!
So, What does failure mean for me?
Failure doesn't mean I far from a-so-called successful. It hints at how close I am to it to try one step ahead.
Failure doesn't mean I missed doing my project. It proves I have learned something justly.
Failure doesn't mean I went foolishness. It shows that I was brave enough to risk by exploring new orbit that I have never encountered before.
Failure doesn't ought to make me loss of face. It indicates that my best has just not good enough.
Failure doesn't mean I am out of the game. It means I have to play again in different way.
Failure doesn't mean I'm not excellence. But, it is true that I am not perfect.
Failure doesn't mean I will never enter the gate of success. I just need a courage to carry out some more exercises like what I did in elementary school, which are exercising and homeworking to get straight A+ in the test.
Failure doesn't mean I have wasted my time and failed for the rest of my life. At least I have a hope to start again.
And Failure doesn't mean you have beaten me. We are in the same stage and you just have a better idea.
I will conclude that failures do not define you and me. It's your attitude and mine. You are allowed to cry a river, but then, build a bridge and get over it.
We always have a second chance.. Never give up mates!!

A Good Life Architect
"What is my purpose of life?"
I was questioning myself when I looked at a book with a title The Purpose Driven Life.
I am a teenage girl, going on 19.
For me, it sounds weird if you almost say bye to your teen-age and you got no point for your next life.
If you think you have already had your future in mind, please answer this questions (being specific is better to border general things).
- What will you do after graduating from university?
- What kind of profession will you carry out?
- What plan-b do you have if the first occupation you have planned is refused?
- What will the estimated salary you want to get?
- When will you marry?
- Where will you settle after marriage?
Did you response my questions swiftly?
Well, you will face those question in your life certainly soon.
Some people are formed not to be a future oriented person.
You might say, " I just want to be me, I'm happy with all I have today and I believe God holds my future."
Hey, You are so true!
But, have you ever thought that you are the architect of your life? Not God.
He is the insurance company who will give you aids if somethings bad happened.
He let you free achieving things you want.
It's your choice.
When I decided to continue my education in Perth, I was afraid of going through a wrong course. Then, to convince myself of choosing a right one, I browsed from Google to attain the idea about the career with the most demand in Australia, I asked people for their opinion, I asked myself "Where does my passionate take me to?" and "Does my ability cooperate with it?"
Finally, I fixed on Food Science and Technology.
It was great studying objects related to food. This is because, you will know the preparation of the industry on how they produce food, the work mechanism of the nutrition in your body, and the most interesting thing is I got the idea how to keep body in shape. Well, it doesn't work for me anyway because I was schooled the Australian diet and it has so much difference from Asian, especially the size and the variety preference of the food.
Out of sudden, I chose to transfer my course to Pharmacy.
My passion is the reason. I love something associated to the public health, laboratory, counseling people. And pharmacy is the answer of my passion.The fact is you will acknowledge your own courage while doing something you love. I have already proven it.
It's not God commanding me to opt pharmacy instead of food science. It's all my choice and I entrusted it in His hands. It is appeared to be true that He makes everything wonderful.
Along the way, I noticed so many struggles from the environment that intimidated me to be shaken from pharmacy. Some of my friends left, they moved to other courses. Some people said, it's gonna be really tough for first and second year in pharmacy. Some said, I'm good at marketing and should consider to switch to marketing course. Some said, I am welcomed back to food science.
And I said, I stick to my choice and I know I can do it with God.
Do you know why I can firmly stick to my standpoint?
It is because I have my own purpose of life. One of mine is to be a success woman. I dream to be a real pharmacist. Therefore, I will focus to reach my dream.
I am the architect of my life and so are you.
What you are going to build in your life depends on you and the best time to create your construction is NOW!
GOOD LUCK!
Nb: The purpose driven life is an inspiring book.

Sometimes it's so lonely being free
I couldn't sleep tonight and no one seems awake.
I perceived the clock, it's 00:20 am .. hmm..
I need someone to talk to right now, I wanted to call my mom, but it's 11:20 pm right there and she must be slept.
I guess tonight will be so lonely. Just me and the clock ticking sounds.
Suddenly, a question appeared to my mind.
"God, Why did you send me here? Why?
Do You fully trust me that I can overcome any kind of feelings far away from my family?"
It's very hard to stand alone without anybody to count on.
No dad. No mom. No brother. Neither my little sister. We are far apart.
I miss them. I do.
"God, Do You experience my feeling?"
My mom told me magic words before I'm going back to Perth last holiday, she said,
" Wherever you are placed, tend it with care because God put you there"
She always reminds me that I will never be alone in my life since Jesus is in me. He cares about me more than her. He loves me more than her. He is there for me when she could not be there.
"Just call His name softly, He will be with you at the time."
Then.. I reflected on her words.. Do I have any reason to feel lonely?
The answer is NO, I have none!!
Yes, it is true that no one besides you, prepares your breakfast, remembers you to have dinner on time, chooses what clothes to wear or even kisses your chick before going to bed.
But, Is that the point you feel lonely?
Physically yes you are alone, because your eyes are too limited to be appraised of God's presence. But listen! You do can feel that He is there, as I do while writing the paragraph.
I'm telling you now, it's 01: 05 am. Just me, Him, and the clock ticking sounds.
Pssst! Do you have any reason to feel lonely?
Good morning people!
Nb: Wow, Thanks God for the quick answer. It's amazing.

A New Comer??
Yes I am..
Goshhhh! After thinking hundred times, rhymes and miles to create a blog, here we go...
I got o n e! Woo-hoo!!
You are questioning, "Was writing that bad for Hanna?" I would like to say yes, because I thought it was just an ordinary hobby that waste lots of time thinking deeply, writing what you thought , erasing what you wrote, and correcting what you erased. Then, I assumed that people will acquire nothing at all once they have done it but mind-exhausted.
Hang on!
It was totally a wrong opinion. I realized that writing was deadly fun after one day I started to ink on my diary. I don't know, somehow it feels glorious when you can tell a story to someone who can not interrupt you while you are talking (in this case, typing) and you will chalk up the idea perfectly till the end. And yeah, another point to write in here is you can share something out about your great life experiences to anyone that may bring blessings for them like smiling, laughing, or maybe a simply lullaby.
Moreover, I want to improve my literacy skill. May be I am not as neat as ones expert in writing. In fact, it is never be wrong when you try something, you have heart to devote it, and you fail. At least you try. Just get right back up! You are saved mate!
Hey, I am going to impart you that anyone could be a spanking Shakespeare. One of his best quotes say, " There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass."
Did you conceive that statement? Honestly, I did not.
William Shakespeare was known as a man with a razor sharp wit and who do not know him? I am not telling you to be a poet like him, it is hard being someone else and you do not need to be. Just be a spanking you. Explore an innovation and be outstanding. That's my point.
And I guess.. This will be my new hobby.
Welcome to my blogging world!
