At TV commercial, Jeon Ji Hyun (acted in Korean movie: my sassy girl) promoted the shampoo by Essence Asian. She said: "If you wish to be beautiful, you can be beautiful".
There is a phrase saying: "There are no ugly women, only lazy ones". This is encouragement for women to beautify themselves physically.
Is beautiful so important?
For some people appearance is everything, but that's beauty is just a deep skin.
Peter warned the wifes [women]: Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. [1 Peter 3:3-4]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then to whom do you want to look beautiful?

Decay
When did you last visit dentist?
I visited dentist last week. The dentist told me I had decay on one of my teeth hence it had to be treated quickly so that it would not spread.
I felt so sad because I have tooth decayed easily so I asked the dentist: "Is it because I did not brush my teeth clean?"
"No! There are 2 reasons: one is genetic & another is the structure of your teeth therefore the food is stuck on them easily.” The dentist answered. Then she added “See, there is another potential decay here”. And she showed me another tooth.
When I apply this into my spiritual life, I fall into temptation and sin so easily. Why???
It is because I am a sinner (genetically from Adam the first man) and the world is corrupted by sin.
So, what can I do? I need Jesus who cleanses my sin & Holy Spirit to guide me through each time.
In Romans 5:12-21 "Death through Adam, Life through Christ."
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. [Romans 5:12]
For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man (Jesus Christ) the many will be made righteous. [Romans 5: 9].
Have you checked your teeth today? Do you need a dentist?

Stress!!!
Are you victimized by stress?
The stress management consultant Donald Tubesing says: "stress is our response to the situation, not the situation itself".
Lately my boss assigned me a new task which I need to help up another department to generate some reports. The department secretary will send to me the data every Tuesday and on Wednesday evening she expects me to give back to her so that she can send the report to her department managers by Thursday 12pm. Every Tuesday or Wednesday I have a phobia in case I bump to her and reminder me.
Last Wednesday was a disaster. There was a system problem hence I could not generate the reports on time. Then she wrote me an email and asking me to commit on weekly deadline every Wednesday 5pm. I was so stress! Then I asked my boss because my boss knew best my situation and my workloads. In relax mode my boss told me to tell her 'No'! So I replied her email explaining the situation and I could only give the report the next day and in future I would try my best although I could not commit the deadline weekly.
When I stepped out of the company building this issue was still bothered so much “What if I could not give her by 12pm next day?” Then I asked myself “What am I thinking? Now I am going to church for song practice and I still think of work? Why I felt so scared of her although my boss already told me it was ok?”
Many of times I am afraid of things that never happened yet!
Sometime I am afraid of someone more than my boss!
Sometimes I am afraid of men more than God! *I feel so sorry!*
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him [Psalm 37:7]
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. [Proverbs 1:7]

Vital Red Soya
During the Healthy Lifestyle Week, the company (where I work) organised programs like on-site health screen, health talk and inviting health products vendors to promote health food.
My colleagues and I bought Soya drink with organic Red beetroot. The next day happily we opened each bottle of our 500 grams Vital Red Soya. Then we realised that it should be consumed within 2 months after opening. In order to finish it within 2 month time, I have to drink it daily and generously offering to other colleagues if they would like to try by telling them how good the drinks for our body.
Let's say if we knew we got only 2 months to live in the earth, what would we do?
Some might say we should do the most important things in our life as we also wanted to leave good names/ impressions to others. Or we’d tell our love ones (family, relative & friends) how important they were to us. Or we’d share to them good things (money, time, knowledge and experience).
Besides all the above, as for Christian what should we do? If we love God, do we also love others as our selves? Have we share or show Jesus’ love to others? How ready are you to meet Jesus Christ?
Sadly nobody will know when his/her life will be lasted in the earth.
What shall we do then?
Live blissfully and do our best as if today is our last day!
Life is not about how long we live but how meaningful it should be :)
