TV Craze

I remember way back in the Philippines, all we wanted was a flat screen TV and flat screen then means the literal “screen that’s flat”, but still with a hunchback style body. Then when hubby transferred here, he bought an HD-Ready TV that’s 42″ and for us, it’s already big and we’re contented with its very clear resolution and vibrant and lively colors. Last year he was eyeing for an HDTV with a bigger screen and now an HD-3D??? How crazy is our technology getting? They said a TV’s lifespan is 10 years, but with the companies bringing out new creations almost every year means that they are encouraging consumers to change their TVs sooner, and it also means a more empty pocket, but a better income for them. Oh well, reality is – it benefits both the producers and consumers so let’s just ride with the fast pacing life in this crazy technology-dependent world, anyways it still depends on people’s choice.

GT: Me, Spiritually

I am weak. I don’t have the solid foundation of faith in me. I am lost. – I need all the help I can get to renew myself in Christ.

My father is a Baptist, my mother is a Seveth Day Adventist and my grandmother (whom I grew up with) is a Catholic. I was brought up believing that one religion is better than the other. I was able to see the differences in the three religions I mentioned, but I failed to see the only one goal they all try to achieve. Should I blame my family for my inconsistent belief now? Well I guess partly, yes. Until now I am confused and still don’t know whose belief is right.

Among the three, my father’s religion is what I personally want to practice and believe in, but I was not able to do so because I married a Catholic. I was the one who decided to convert myself into Catholicism for one reason – I want my own family to have one faith. I don’t want to confuse my kid/s just like what I’ve been through as a child. I want my family to go together to one church, not like what happened to me – This week I go with my father, the next week I go with my mother and to make my grandmother happy, I go and practice her religion the other week.

I know it’s not about religion, but still I’m lost. I don’t even know how to teach my child about faith. Even the Bible has different versions, I don’t know which is best to read – that’s why I don’t read anymore. Whenever I sing praises to the Lord, I can feel the connection that I have in him, but after that I am lost again. I envy the people who can proudly say that God is their strength and that they are proud to say that they are nothing without God.

I want to renew myself. I want to become a living believer of Christ who has the faith that can move mountains. I want to learn the words of Christ and make them my weapon everyday I live my life. I have nothing to brag about this. I am someone here praying for an angel that will help enlighten me, spiritually.

Congratulations, Dad!!!

I know… I know… I shouldn’t be shouting this to the world as formal annoucement is yet to happen in September and he doesn’t want to annouce it until then, but hell! I am so proud of my hubby and I can’t wait for September before I recognize his hard work.

As you may know, my hubster works as an auditor in one of the “Big Four” or the four largest international accountancy and professional services firms. After about 3 years of hard work here in the land of the English as an Executive (Senior Associate equivalent), he’s now promoted as Assitant Manager. Not only that, he’s got the highest achieveable mark of 5. Isn’t that something worth bragging about? Oh, forgive me… I’m just one stage wifey here…

And for my gift? Oh, never mind – hugs and kisses are enough plus you know, the bonus…
