I'm back in Virginia, or Washington DC, whichever you prefer, since the two places are pretty close to each other. I did fly to DC and took a 20 mins ride to McLean, VA. Hotel of the week is Marriot... they have great swimming pool and brand new sauna place. I also love the warm cookies and 15th floor concierge lounge that provides hor'dourves, fruits and some decent desserts. However, this lounge only has open access for all those gold member holders. I'm lucky one of my friend gave me one pass so I can come and go as I pleased. :)
Room-wise, I like the Embassy suites better, just because Embassy's rooms are structured towards apartment-like set, where you have your own kitchen area (incl. microwave, etc), separate bedroom than the living and dining room.. to be short, it's bigger and better.
Before this blog turns to be a hotel review article, i'll end this blog and go back to work !
Ciao!

Finding Your Calling
Someone really dear to me once said, "Pursue your calling no matter what; it's going to worth it."
Of course sometime we don't even have a clue what our calling is ! Numerous theories, books, tapes and sermons have been preached on this topic, but in reality it's just hard to know for sure what your calling is, just because most of us are 'average' people. By average i mean we have different set of skills set and interest that we like/love to do and pretty darn good at, but we're obviously not Mozart or Einstein on those particular field!
I'm not saying that there's no chance for us to be the Mozarts or Einsteins of our time, nor that all of us are useless mediocre people. What I'm saying is, at some point of time, that incredibly genius seed that God has planted in each of us.. just hasn't bloom quite yet. And it's just hard to spot that one thing we're really good at, or called to do in life, when everything looks almost the same!
So, What is my calling ? How do we find our calling ?
Well, the answer is pretty simple.
Your calling is found in your conquering.
In every battle that you face right now, at this moment... that will define your calling.
You can dream of becoming the Commander in Chief of the USA, but if you can't solve that personal issue you have with your friend... you'll go nowhere.
You can have the ambition of having a world wide enterprise, but if you're not a good employer to your employee right now, if you're not faithful to the simple things now.. then you're a sitting duck.
You can hope and wish for becoming the greatest Worship Leader of the 20th century, or becoming the 'Billy Graham' of Asia or whatever.. but if you can't pick that bible, read His Word and practice it.. then a dream will only be a dream.
The truth is... you'll get nearer and nearer to your calling by conquering every battle you're facing right now.. step by step... battle by battle.
There's a purpose and a reason for you to be where you are and in the situation you are right now.
The purpose is for you to conquer it.. and be a step closer to reveal your calling in life.

Wounded souls
Mike Murdock once said that the only fear you should have is the fear of being stupid. When you encounter bad times, it is a clear signal from heaven that you must stop & think before further action.
Our phycical bodies operate the same ways. When pain begins in our arm, it is a strong signal that something needs to be addressed first. Too often, Christians who face terrible times (like myself), deceive themselves by focussing on either one of these 4 things such as God, ministry, work or school; they suddenly become a maniac of these 'holy' looking subjects.
At a glance, it looks you are strong, healed & delivered because the emotion is different. Like it or not, the wounds are still there and there is no such thing as microwave solution. As a result, characters are burn out of wounds and it is poisonous. It penetrates your mind & soul. Characters determine your life.
Sadly, many unexperienced Christians often give common advices, "udahlah....just move on, balik ke Tuhan pelayanan (it is always easier to say when you have not experienced it)."
That is very unwise !!! Wounded Christians bring wounded aura into others.
What should we do?
1. Go back to the roots. Recall all the advices & pre-warnings that yourfriends/pastors have given you earlier; those are divine signs.
2. Never blame God or the situations.

Splendid !
I'm back in Chicago again ! :) After spending 4 wonderful days in London - UK, it's pretty suprsing but i just couldn't deny how much I miss US specifically Chicago *crazy huh*... I mean London is pretty and all that.. but it just doesn't feel right for me y'know ?! It's definitely not a place where I want to live and work.. but really a great place for vacation ! It's a good getaway place.. Went to Buckingham palace, Windsor Castle, SoHo (bit of it), Wimbledon court and Chelsea stadium.. took zillion pictures in Madamme Tussaud's Wax museum *the highlight of my 2nd day :)* ... We also took those cruise on Thames river.. overlooking Big Ben, Tower bridge and London Eye.
The craziest CRAZIEST thing we did on the very first day was climbing up St. Paul's cathedral to the very TOP.. which has like 700-somthing steps.. make that 1400 steps round trip !!! My feet was so sore I could hardly stand after that painful journey up. The view was magnificent though... and it was where Prince Charles and Diana got married so the interior of the cathedral was beautiful beyond words...
Anyways, I showed some pics of me with the wax figures of Hollywood famous stars at Tussaud to some of my co-workers today and they fell for it BIG time !! :D Some of them even thought that the wax figure was ME and the real wax figure was Real !! They looked so much like real human it scares me.. But funny how all of my friends at work were like.. That' You and Brad Pitt in London ?!!! ^_^*
I'm just thankful to God for this trip.. we already had a really good deal on airflight and hotel.. bu then, we found another good deal on transportation and all the touristy places in London so that we don't have to pay a single penny while we were there; except for food, since it's all already included in the package. GOD is GOOD !! :)
Well.. looking forward to visit other parts of UK or even Europe sometime in the future.. but overall it was a splendid journey !

Weekend againnn !! :D
It's another weekend !! YIPEEEE !!
This weekend we're planning on going out to Lake shore again since it's so nice outside.. Thank you God for giving such a great weather for 2 consecutive weeks! U r AWESOME !! For those ppl who don't live in a 4 season state.. you gotta be grateful for what you have.. all those sun shine 365 days in a year.. mann... those are precious.
And tonight we're planning on having a big all nighters X-Box competition!! hahhaa.. it's so silly, us in our age still so crazy about playing video games.. but it's just so fun to hang out and make fun of those who lose.. plus the game itself is kinda cool and entertaining. I guess the best thing in life is just to stay young no matter how old you are. Oh and.. Mannyu got a PSP from his brother and lemme tell you that lil thing is really really COOL ! The screen is way better than my TV at home (yup it's sad) since it's LCD... and the quality of the image and sound is perfect. The only downside is the games/movies are sold for like $50 each.. a total robbery. So we figure we'll wait for a couple while to buy some games until the price gets a bit cheaper. :)
Anyway.. I really wanna go eat tapas this weekend.. nyum nyum.. and gotta start to pack for my trip to UK next week! I'm going to UK.. finally! It's my first time going there and we're so excited. We got this neat excel spreadsheet with schedules of where to go each day , tickets, etc.. *lol*

Preettyy Day ! :)
Last weekend was totally gorgeous !!!
It was around 50s outside, but with the sunshine and mild cool breeze, it almost felt like low 70s.. pretty, pretty, pretty ! How could you resist the big blue sky calling your name to go outside and play at this kind of weather ! And so we headed off to Lake Shore to embrace the beautiful weather and did some exercise (finally we realized we're a bit behind in our 2005 resolution).. nothing fancy, just some light jogging and.. rollerblading!! YUP, I decided to 'revisit' one of my greatest hobby back in my glorious days as a high school student.
Isn't it funny how you tend to think that whenever you're good at something... then, you're always good at it no matter what. Well, that exact thing happenned to me.
I remembered how I used to glide and fly on those tiny wheels.. and those memories created certain confidence and excitement in me. Confident that I can strut ALL those routines in no sweat.. and excited for those smooth glides I'll take and that wonderful feeling of actually rollerblading again ! OH this is Gonna be FUN !!
Well, when I actually put them on.. it turned out that it wasn't as easy as I thought i would be !
For starters, my feet was kinda stiff since it's been ages from the last time I rollerbladed. Second, those smooth glides didn't happen 100% since not all of the roads by the lake are paved perfectly. There were bumps here and there.. holes and uneven bricks which made me, well.. just didn't feel like gliding at all.. at times it's more of like.. walking in a really heavy shoes with wheels (that's a weird picture). After a while (and a painful fell) though.. I started to get a hang of it and everything started to brighten. By the end of the day.. at least I was gliding a little better than I was before. :)
Now after thinking about it.. isn't LIFE sometimes run that way ? Whenever you're going to go some place new.. do something you always wanna do.. or starting a new journey in life... You always have that excitement and certain percent of confidence that everything's gonna be alright. You're loaded with Faith and all the great things that God has done in your life.. and you feel good about it.. unmoved.. solid as a rock. And you expect that since this is something that God has given to you.. the road is gonna be as smooth as silk and everything is gonna be perfect and everybody will be happy, right ?!
WRONG! After some time living it.. you realized that it's not THAT easy.. it's not that simple. There're bumps and holes here and there.. and the road is wayyy far from smooth. You don't really feel like gliding and soaring in this new place... you feel like WALKING really slow.. and it feels like you're not going anywhere.
Once in a while you'll fell.. and then you have the option to either stay laying there on the hot dirty pavement.. or simply get up.. and try again.
So, the next time you feel like you're facing a brick wall, or when you're not so sure anymore whether God has placed you in your current position at work, country or whatever for a really good reason; Know this: Faith has no place for Fear. When you make mistakes or fail in something, just dust yourself off from any worries, confusion or doubt, learn from it and add another dose of faith by getting up and, try again.
Only then, you'll start soaring like an eagle... or gliding like a pro rollerblader, whatever you choose.

Pondering...
Altho now is not really a good time for me to think rather clearly (a good reason is that is it's 2am in the morning; notice the tendency of me blogging late on weekends?!)... but I can't really sleep and really feel like.. well, pondering.
I ponder about the greatest of the universe.. what exist high above our heads and below our feet.. what's going on there even as we speak. We homo sapiens tend to be so selfish most of the time... Spending like 90% of our days thinking about what we're gonna eat, wear, do,.. it's all about my ambition, my future.. me, me, ME!
I guess sometimes we can be so ignorant of other people, society, cultures (woaa.. how did i get this farr ?!)
And... I ponder about how some of my friends are planning to leave the city and eventually the States.. what happens in the next 5 years... and how sad (sometimes) it feels to experience what's called - 'changes'.
People changes and goes to different directions at certain times in life.. and no matter how wise and mature i'm trying to be, saying goodbye and knowing you have that certain distance (physically AND mentally) with that someone, always brings a hurtful pierce.
And I ponder (it's quite a jump i know).. how in the world am I going to get a genuine (as in authentic, original, REAL) LV bag with a not-oh-so-eye brow-lifting-price.. And it's not for moi, mind you! It's a gift for someone dearest to me.. :)
Then I ponder about what in the world am I doing here writting this blog.. without even sure anyone would read this piece of 'literature' anyways..
Well.. at least you did. :)
Okay. I'm done pondering.
Hey, after all.. this blog is called 'my daily ramblings'.. i'm entitled to do just that. ;P

24
Have you ever watch the show on Fox titled, '24' ?
It's a typical suspense-action packed series with some twist of drama here and there, but there's one catch... the entire show takes place in a real time mode. That means, all of the episodes in the first season literary took place in a 24 hours-time frame, hence the title of the show. I watched the first season and it amazed me so how many things can happen in 24 hours! A senator was about to be assasinated (twice!), someone got kidnapped - released- kidnapped again - and (ha!) kidnapped again,... i mean, it felt like an entire YEAR has passed when those things happenned.. but surprisingly.. it all took place in a one single day. A woman got into an accident, loss her memory, got it back and almost got murdered by a terrorist in less than 2 hours for crying out loud !
My point being here is, do you ever realize that time is really2 precious ? Of course those stuff above only happen in Hollywood (or do they ?! hmmm.. ), but still... the saying that Time is Money is purely true. For an example, I can use the time typing this blog for calling my mom back home, writting a business plan for a start-up company that sell beauty products from bee hive(just being creative here) or a new programming language better than Java,.... or sleep (which is honestly, something i really, really meant to do at this hour).
It's just a matter of priority. And that's where the problem lies. It's always a hit and miss when we're trying to juggle between what we want to do and what we NEED to do. The key is of course: dicipline. But saying and doing sometime only rhymes in sentences. It takes effort, and wisdom.
The first comes from you - the second one is from God.
And now.. I gotta do what I gotta do... get some sleep ! :)

Love
There are two kinds of love in this world.
One is cute and crazy. It twirls you around like nothing you ever felt. It's passionate, bold and burning. It gives you goosebumps, unpredictable turns, and unpredictable ends. It can be forever, it can be wild, or sweet and tender like a morning dew. The words it speaks will fly you to the clouds. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and you will keep expecting for more. It may not be perfect, but at certain moments, it seems flawless. And for once you thought you're fulfilled by it. You will be drunk by it, live for it, and die because of it.
One is ever lasting. It is pure and never changing. It always accept, always forgive and never require anything. It gives and never expects anything in return. It has no excitement ! - so some says. And that is because, it is perfect. It takes forever to build, and one moment to accept. Still, some just didn't see it coming. It is secure, with precise measured ending, in every turn you make. It will turn together with you anyway. It is a love that is too good to be true. But yet it's given for free.
Which cup will you take ?

Me working ?!
That has been something I really really wanted, even years before I graduated.
I joined numerous school clubs and activities to further increase my chance of 'getting-to-know-someone' and I tried extra hard not to end up in a part time job that didn't look good on my resume. I studied hard - well, at least I tried to study hard, to make sure my GPA didn't go below 3.0, and I followed every venue possible just to assure myself that after I graduate from IU, a full time job with a good company is waiting.
After a long list of interviews on my campus with zero job offer, I started to have restless doubt on myself, my major, my school, and eventually.. on my God. You know, ask your fellow mates who are currently searching for jobs and they'll tell you that this kind of feeling is normal.
Well, anyways now as I wake up at 7, have a quick breakfast and take the CTA to stop at work and sit in this office space of mine.. I am amazed. Wow.. I'm finally here!
God is good. He is faithfull to you, even when you're not. And for that, (and my dream job too!) I give Him thanks.
