Entry No.3 - Card Games

Hey there, how are you guys doing?! I'm struggling with my Preparatory College, but it's doing fine!

My posting today will be another illustration. Today, I'm going to illustrate a life survival tips with

"CARD GAMES"

I went to my friends house this evening. We practiced for our performance this Sunday. After practicing, our college friend came to do our homework together. While we were doing our homework, we chat a lil bit. I used to talk to him about my crushes and stuff. I was thinking that it might be good if I ask "boys" stuff and their POV. So I started this awesome conversation with "Why do good girls usually like bad boys?" He didn't think twice and answered my question right away. Then, he told me this: 

"What I see from you, you tend to be very open to people! You always talk about guys and your crushes to us as guys. That's nothing bad, but...let's say that we're playing cards. You don't know how to play the game and you don't know the rules. What you are doing to me now is that you are showing me your card. That's beneficial to me but that will make you a loser. You talk about your love problems, your weakness and your misery to us guys...that is the same thing as you show us your weakness. If you keep doing the same thing, guys will know your weakness and they wont take time to approach you. They know your weakness and that makes you lose their curiosity about you. What you should have done in this "card game" is that you keep your cards to your self, but ask how the rules are. No matter how hard the rules are, never show anyone your "card". Don't show your weakness, use something or someone else as a subject, while in reality, that subject is you. The point is, never show anyone your need and weakness." 

I am so thankful to my friend. It seems like he helped me to open my eyes to see the real world.

I hope you get what I'm posting today.

"Keep your card to yourself and play the game. Though you don't know how to play, ask the rules but never ever show them your card!" - A Dear Friend-

I thank God for using my friend to open my eyes. He used my friend to help me get through all of this roller-coster.

Good night, evening, afternoon, morning....wherever you are.

Entry No. 2 - Domino Love?

"Unfortunately love is like dominoes. I fall for you, you fall for someone else." - Random quotes on Twitter.

This is a quote that I read on twitter today. Is love really like dominoes? At first thought, I was agreeing. Love is like dominoes. I fall for someone, he falls for someone else. Well yeah, it's based on my personal experience. But then I think about it again. I imagine a long row of dominoes.

If I fall for someone and this guy falls for someone else, she must fall for some other guy (logically, a domino falls when the one before him falls on it) who falls for someone else. This "someone else" unfortunately falls for another someone else who also falls for someone else that falls for someone else and blah blah blah...You get the point, right? And in the end, the last "domino" standing will fall for nobody except....ALONE.

And think again, how can the first domino fall if it's not from a pressure?! Where does this pressure come from?! What IS this "pressure"?! Or in case if we are not the first domino, it means that someone fell for us but we fall for someone else who falls for someone else etc. 

So isn't the "feeling" equal?! We fall for someone who falls for another person without realizing that someone had already fall on us before we fall into this person we fall for. Doesn't he/she feels the same?! Hurt?! Disappointed?! Can't you see that this "domino theory" is getting confusing??

Well, rather comparing love with dominoes, I prefer equating LOVE with JESUS. 

Jesus = Love. He loves His children with all of His heart, doesn't matter what. His LOVE is pure.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."  - 1 Corinthians 13 : 4 - 7

If you love someone, be like Jesus, love that person with all your heart. If you fall for a.k.a have a crush on someone, pray to God. Ask for His allowance. Ask for His "advice". Ask if the person you are having a crush on or falling for is the right person for you. I'm doing the same thing right now. Every night before I go to sleep, I always pray to God about Adrian. I told God how much I like Adrian and ask God if he is the one, I also asked God to help me control my feelings. I pray to God:

"God, you know that I have a crush on Adrian. You know that I like him without knowing the reason why. If he's the one for me, give me signs. If not, give me signs as well and help me to move on without feeling hurt."

Give everything in God's hands and trust Him, he'll give what's the BEST for you at the RIGHT MOMENT.

Keep praying, keep the faith.

Have a nice day/afternoon/evening/night.

Cheers,
