I am utterly in holiday mood.
I seriously thought that after I came back from the trip I would be all refreshed and enthusiastic about studying and doing homework. But nope, reality sets in and I realise that I'm in the mood to do ANYTHING but study and homework. Who was I kidding?!
I want a REAL holiday. One where I can just do as I please and sleep as long as I want and eat as many times a day as I can. But I think the need to study will test my discipline and perseverance AND SELF CONTROL.
God, I need help! Studying is so not my thing and it's the last thing I want to do now. But with You, I can do anything! Thanks. *grin*

A REVOLUTION
"He saved us in order that He might begin to transform His world into the kind of world that He willed for it to be when He created it. … When Jesus saved us, He saved us to be agents of a great revolution, the end of which will come when the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of our God”
"I think that Christianity has two emphases. One is a social emphasis to impart the values of the kingdom of God in society - to relieve the sufferings of the poor, to stand up for the oppressed, to be a voice for those who have no voice. The other emphasis is to bring people into a personal, transforming relationship with Christ, where they feel the joy and the love of God in their lives."

Shapes
I suppose I don't exactly have any particular purpose for this post. But I just felt like updating. I wonder what my happiness is based on? What makes me happy?
My family? My friends? Myself? God?
I don't know. I think that ALL play a significant role in my life. But what makes me really happy? I don't think that laughing a lot defines happiness. I believe someone could be genuinely happy without laughing a lot.
A genuinely happy person should be able to pass on and around cheer and happiness without having to crack a joke or do something funny. Of course, jokes and funny actions are always welcomed. But I don't think they define happiness.
Hmmm... I believe that I would be able to find what truly makes me happy when..... I have nothing but still feel like I have everything.
(That is a freaky thought. Way freaky.)

Of Economics and other less interesting things
The phrase "Count your blessings" will never, ever, ever be found in an Economics textbook. If it were ever found in an Econs book, the trees will sing rock songs. (Which will be very cool!) Anyway, the characters found in my Econs book are greedy and selfish. All they ever think of is how scarce and limited resources are and how they will never be able to fulfill the desires of their heart. I name the main character Jeannie. Notice I said "name" and not "named"? Well, that's because I just named her.
Going on, I realise that there is actually enough resources to be divided equally among everyone in this world. But somehow, Jeannie thinks otherwise. She thinks that only people who earns enough income and people who can afford goods should deserve to get them. While the poor can just keep on being poor. That level of greed and selfishness can explode a few air craft carriers! Seriously! What is wrong with Jeannie?!?!
I think that because she has always had a stable and regular income and she was always comfortable, she can afford to think this way. Her mindset is basically "What do i not have? What else do i want?" Her selfishness has expanded so much that her mind cannot think of the blessings that she's had or the good things she owns. All it will think of is the potential blessings out there that she must get a hold of. But even after she has gotten them, she doesn't enjoy her blessings. Instead, she just preys for the next blessing with the aim of not letting anyone else get them.
Based on my own naive and oblivious observation, Jeannie needs to go for Live.Revolution - Amplified Conference. And based on this observation, I come to a conclusion that Jasmine needs to go to be...........
