10000 HITS- Let love win 約書亞樂團 - 愛贏了

17:22:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

THANK YOU! I'm extremely humbled by this milestone. Today, sometime during my work hours this little personal blog of mine reached 10,000 hits. I don't know why people stop by, whether they randomly stumbled on the page or whether they saw me post about it, but I just want to thank you. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs of my life over the last two years. 

I started this blog in September last year. It was a difficult time for me dealing with many stressors and it was a way for me to process things going on around me. And since they I think I have grown so much intellectually, physically (unfortunately), and spiritually. There were times when I was broken completely and other times when I feel complete victory through Christ. And even if I don't want to admit it, it's always been about Love. And somehow or another, Love Always Wins. 

THANKS AGAIN! I hope I can report back this time next year as Dr Li, but for the time being, it's still me, Kikoprincess, with faith as small as a mustard seed.

Review: Full House (2004) The original kdrama

21:28:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

Summary: Han Ji Eun's lives at Full House, a house built by her late father until her friends trick her into going overseas and sells her house in order to pay their debts. Meanwhile, the house is bought by Lee Young-Jae, a famous actor who is also a clean freak. This actor feels sorry for Han Ji Eun and allows her to stay there as a maid. The 16 episode describe how two strangers living under the same fight, clean and fall in love.

My thoughts: This is the original kdrama for me. This was how I fell in love with Korea. When I first went to Korea at the end of high school, I had little appreciation for the culture and country. But now, after several years of kdrama addiction, I have come to recognize, accept and feel like I am part of the world of kdrama. The plots are exaggerated, almost completely unbelievable. The characters are always last to learn the truth.

In this particular plot the male protagonist doesn't realise that he loves the wrong girl until it's almost too late. The second male lead is the nice guy who becomes an emotional support for the female lead and falls in love with her. Only the female lead has already fallen in love with the main character. Then there are annoying third parties who always complicates things in order to get their own way. Does this sound familiar? A little like Boys over flowers? A little like Goong? A little like ...?

But you know what? The bible also has love stories that are as romantic as these... like the story of Jacob and Rachel (funny version here modified from Genesis 29: http://www.essex1.com/people/paul/bible27.html)  where Jacob loved one woman so much that he worked many years for her, but was tricked by her father into actually marrying her sister! Or the story of how the strong man, Samson, fell into the trap of his enemies because he was coaxed into telling the secret of his strength by a woman. Why don't you spend some time exploring the many stories the bible has to offer today!


Review: Just good friends?

21:57:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

Summary: The way men and women perceive opposite-sexed friendships maybe different. Attraction to opposite-sexed friends is more a burden on average.

My thoughts: When I was younger I had many opposite-sexed friends. That was because I took risks, I wanted to play sports more than I wanted to talk about hair colour or pop stars. As I grew up, it became less natural to have opposite sexed friends. Girlfriends are on the guard when I give their significant others high fives or when we talk about sports. And it's more than once or twice where my actions have been misunderstood by a bystander.

I'm glad I've got a group of supportive female friends now. And that I don't need to turn to guys for emotional support. It's learning how to treasure this sisterhood and understanding that I should also have a degree of separation from guys, so that I won't knowingly cause anyone to stumble. It's still a lesson I am learning.

Sometimes I am too innocent. Or maybe that I don't think enough. But I trust that people have the best intentions and trust the words they say. But I often forget that I live in a fallen world and there are some people are out there deliberately doing wrong, scheming to steal affection, money, time, souls. Money is nothing. Possessions can be replaced. But a trusting heart- once damaged takes time to heal.


Proverbs 4:23

New International Version (NIV)
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.


箴 言 4:23

Chinese Union Version (Traditional) (CUV)
23 你 要 保 守 你 心 , 勝 過 保 守 一 切 ( 或 譯 : 你 要 切 切 保 守 你 心 ) , 因 為 一 生 的 果 效 是 由 心 發 出 。

Just good friends? Attraction to opposite-sex friends is common but burdensome

"Every platonic friend I got is some woman I was trying to ****, I made a wrong turn somewhere, and ended up in the friend zone. 'Oh no, I'm in the friend zone!'" Chris Rock.
They were virtually unheard of for most of human history, but today, in many cultures, friendships between men and women are common place. Still, that niggling doubt never seems to go away - is the relationship really entirely platonic?

A new study by April Bleske-Rechek and her colleagues has investigated cross-sex friendships between heterosexual men and women through the prism of evolutionary theory. From a survey of 88 pairs of college students in cross-sex friendships (averaging two years' duration), the researchers found that: men felt more attraction to their female friend than vice versa; that men overestimated how much their friend was attracted to them; and that men's desire to date their female friend was unaffected by whether they (the men) were in a romantic relationship with someone else, whereas females tended to report less desire to date their male friend, if they (the women) were already in a romantic relationship. Male attraction for a female friend was undimmed by the fact their friend had a partner. By contrast women tended to report less attraction for male friends who had partners.

The participants gave their answers after being reassured they'd be kept anonymous, and after agreeing publicly with their friend not to discuss the study afterwards (I bet they stuck to that!).

The pattern of results makes sense from an evolutionary psychology perspective on mating strategies, the researchers said, whereby men have more to gain from short-term sexual encounters, whereas women, who invest more in their offspring (in terms of gestation and child-birth), are more selective.

What about the way people deal with their sexual desires for opposite-sex friends? For a second study, over a hundred heterosexual young men and women (average age 19), and an older sample of 142 men and women (average age 37), answered questions about their cross-sex friendships, including listing the costs and benefits. Among the younger sample, 38 per cent were in a (non-marital) romantic relationship; around 90 per cent of the older sample were married.

Again, the researchers said the findings made sense in terms of evolutionary theory. The older sample, most of whom were immersed in a serious long-term relationship, reported less attraction to their opposite-sex friends than the younger sample did. However, this wasn't case for the older single people - they reported just as much attraction to their opposite-sex friends as the younger participants.

Overall, attraction to an opposite-sex friend was more often seen as a burden rather than a benefit of the friendship. Averaged across both samples, attraction was listed as a cost or complication by 32 per cent of participants - five times more often than it was listed as a benefit or enhancement. For young women, and men and women in the older sample, more attraction to their closest friend was associated with feeling less satisfied with their romantic partner.

Zooming in on gender differences, men more often than women, listed attraction to their female friends as a benefit of the friendship, and they were less likely than women to list it as a cost.

"Our findings offer preliminary support for the proposal that men's and women's experiences in cross-sex friendship reflect their evolved mating strategies," Bleske-Rechek and her team concluded. "Attraction between cross-sex friends is common, and it is perceived more often as a burden than as a benefit." Looking ahead, the researchers said it would be interesting to investigate attraction between homosexual same-sex friends, and whether it's seen by them as a burden or benefit of the friendship.

Testimony- trying to fill life's emptiness

20:46:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

This is the testimony sharing we had at youth fellowship on Saturday night. Please excuse the poor English translation.

Summary: This girl was the top of her class and tried to get the approval of her parents and others by being the best in everything- in school, in relationships, in looks, etc. She was able to feel successful throughout her primary and secondary school life. Then she started to notice that those around her were really pretty and she felt inadequate. She started to get symptoms of bulimia nervosa and insomnia but then it just kept getting worse. The frequency of her episodes got much more frequent and uncontrollable.

Even when she got into university, she tried to be the best and was in many different committees. It was at this time she was being pursued by several boys. But they grew tired of waiting for her and this left her devastated. Can love be eternal?

One day in class, she saw that one of her peers had a bible. She was laughing at him, mocking him, but he invited her to his bible study anyway. When she went, listened, and prayed. She wept. She felt like she was a sinner- the first time this had entered her mind.

The second part of the testimony shows the changes in her life. How God has used her to reach out to others.

My thoughts: Watching this in a dark room, surrounded by people who knew me was a bit difficult. The girl's history is not unlike my own. For the longest time I had a deep need to seek approval of others. And I too have accumulated many many folders worth of worthless paper. Certificates, awards that were used to boost my worthiness.

I too tried to fill the void in my life with friendships, material possessions, leadership positions, relationships. And this was after having grown up in a family of Christians! Alas, it took me quite a while to turn away from that line of thought. I'm not perfect now... but I know God isn't done with me yet!

- My brothers and sisters in Christ who have given their encouragement
- My friends who cope with my quirkiness.

You’re the one who conquers giants ... you are i am mercy me story

19:30:00 Kikoprincess 1 Comments

Story behind You are I am.

In the old testament we see some awesome signs of God's existence. He split the sea in half to let his people walk through on dry ground, he created the heavens and earth, he provided his servants with safety in the den of lions. In the old testament he sent his spirit to visit his people - give them guidance, provide them with help, reveal to them visions.

BUT now, we are so lucky. His spirit not only visits us- it lives in us. This amazing God who brings the dead to live dwells in us. So how can we say we can't conquer the problems in front of us?

How can we say we can't finish before the deadline? How can we say we can't repair this relationship? How can we say we are lonely and am unloved?

So instead of giving up, remember that he is the I AM. This song was a great inspiration to me today. Although I am constantly chasing deadlines, making mistakes and disappointing people, it's not all lost. I am full of hope!

You Are I Am lyrics http://www.smartlyrics.com/Song729642-MercyMe-You-Are-I-Am-lyrics.aspx

I’ve been the one 
To shake with fear 
And wonder if 
You’re even here 

I’ve been the one 
To doubt Your love 
I’ve told myself 
You’re not enough 

I’ve been the one 
To try and say 
I’ll overcome 
By my own strength 

I’ve been the one 
To fall apart 
And start to question 
Who You are 

You’re the one who conquers giants 
You’re the one who calls out kings 
You shut the mouths of lions 
You tell the dead to breathe 
You’re the one who walks through fire 
You take the orphan’s hand 
You are the one Messiah 
You are I am 

I’ve been the one 
Held down in chains 
Beneath the weight 
Of all my shame 

I’ve been the one 
To believe 
That where I am 
You cannot reach 

You’re the one who conquers giants 
You’re the one who calls out kings 
You shut the mouths of lions 
You tell the dead to breathe 
You’re the one who walks through fire 
You take the orphan’s hand 
You are the one Messiah 
You are I am 
You are I am 

The veil is torn 
And now I live 
With the spirit inside 
The same one 
The very same one 
Who brought the son 
Back to life 

Hallelujah, He lives in me 
Hallelujah, He lives in me 
Hallelujah, He lives in me 
Hallelujah, He lives in me 

You’re the one who conquers giants 
You’re the one who calls out kings 
You shut the mouths of lions 
You tell the dead to breathe 
You’re the one who walks through fire 
You take the orphan’s hand 
You are the one Messiah 
You are I am 
(Hallelujah, He lives in me) 
You are I am 
(Hallelujah, He lives in me)

Dumb ways to Die

14:44:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

There are so many dumb ways to die. It's a catchy tune. But it comes with a stern warning. In this case, Melbourne Metro did really well in gaining attention to rail safety. I shared the video. But after replaying the clip a few times, the seriousness of the message faded.

In the same way, some of us might have been capture entirely when we first heard the message of John 3:16. But as we repeated the message over time, we may have lost the seriousness of the warning. Indeed, if we don't believe in Jesus- we will PERISH. What a scary thought. Shouldn't you want to share this message too? But I hope this message never loses power.


John 3:16

New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

約 翰 福 音 3:16

Chinese Union Version (Traditional) (CUV)
16 「 神 愛 世 人 , 甚 至 將 他 的 獨 生 子 賜 給 他 們 , 叫 一 切 信 他 的 , 不 至 滅 亡 , 反 得 永 生 。

Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that’s out of date
Use your private parts as Piranha bait

Dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie

Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach your self how to fly
Eat a two week old unrefridgerated pie

Dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
so many dumb ways to die


Invite a psycho killer inside
scratch a drug dealer’s brand new ride
take your helmet off in outer space
use a clothes dryer as hiding place

Dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
so many dumb ways to die

keep a rattle snake as a pet
sell both your kidneys on the internet
eat a tube of super glue
i wonder what’s this red button do

Dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
so many dumb ways to die


dress up like a moose during hunting season
disturb a nest of wasp for no good reason
stand on the edge of a train station platform
drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
run across the tracks between the platforms
they may not  rhyme, but they are quite possibly

Dumb ways to die
so many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie

secret santa- JUNK?

13:47:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

I love giving gifts, and I am guilty of probably filling other people's rooms full of JUNK. As the season for Christmas parties and gift giving begins, have you considered a more meaningful and useful gift this year?
While we are dealing with first world problems of not knowing what to wear, kids overseas are dying from preventable diseases. [This blog entry is not sponsored]

I have a a friend who is doing some mission work in Africa at the moment. The job isn't easy, while she is helping children, she has had to deal with serious safety concerns involving guns, animals, etc.

How hard can it be to replace some of your gifts with these?

$15 can vaccinate 55 kids with Magical Measles Vaccine
$34 can vaccinate 200 kids with Polio Vaccine
$30 can provide 30 kids with Anti-malarial drugs

Your Love Never Fails - Newsboys English version with tabs

Chinese lyrics http://jetlyrics.com/viewlyrics.php?id=882790

你愛不失敗



不能使我隔絕
就算我試著逃開
你愛不失敗
我知我仍會犯錯 但
你憐憫每個早晨都更新
你愛不失敗

你的信實永遠堅定
你愛永不止息
雖一宿會有哭泣
但早晨必然歡欣
當暴風雨來臨
我的心不會畏懼
因為我知道你愛我
你愛不失敗

當風增強 浪高過我身 但
我卻不是獨自面對風雨
因你愛不失敗
對岸離我太遙遠
我以為無法去到另一邊
但你愛不失敗

你使萬事 都為我互相效力

kicking and screaming- klove free song

20:56:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments



This week's free song from Klove is kicking and screaming. 

http://www.klove.com/music/artists/third-day/songs/kicking-and-screaming-lyrics.aspx


I have to admit that it's the first time I've heard this song and I had read the lyrics before I had heard it. If it wasn't on a christian radio station, you can mistake it for any old love song. 

I have been hit with wave after wave of bad news recently. My favourite couples breaking up, people who have strong relationships with God falling, fall outs with best friends. I wonder what inspired the band to write the song "kicking and screaming". What is the meaning behind it? 

I've recently seen a wedding sand ceremony. During a wedding ceremony, the husband and wife pour into a new jar two different jars of sand. Together they become one, and it is impossible to separate. In the same way, when we choose to follow Jesus, let us cling onto him for better or worse, richer for poorer, sickness and health... and if anything tries to keep me away from God? well, they better drag me away kicking and screaming :P



Matthew 19

New International Version (NIV)
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”




Kicking and screaming


What if I told you that I love you
What if I showed you just how much
I would do anything to hold you
Give everything to prove my love

(Chorus)
Yeah, no one can keep me from your side
Yeah, but if they ever even try
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming

And if you said you didn't want me
Kept me away, you said we were through
You don't know just how ready and willing
To do everything that I can to convince you

Chorus

I'd go anywhere
As long as you are there
You know I'd do anything
As long as you're with me
I would fight for you
If you want me to
I will not lie to you
Give my life for you

They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming

Useless... powerless...

It's a funny thing to hear a therapist say. Sometimes I just don't know how to comfort someone. All I want to say is that everything is going to be ok. I want to give them a hug. But we can't do either.

Since coming back from the states, I have felt smashed. All the things I thought I was good at, gifted at, that used to come easy- for some reason is now a mess. I've been hiding the sense of feeling almost defeated and  the hole just getting deeper and deeper. But I am not at the end of the road.

Friends, families, strangers come to me seeking answers, comfort. They want me to say that it will be ok. There is some simple solution to fix their present problems.

Will prayer automatically write your assignment? fix your relationship? heal your hurts and pains? automatically heal your sickness? I am 100% sure God can do it if he wills it. But instead, have you stopped to consider that even in the darkest moments, God is still there?

No matter what you are going through at the moment- whether it's a good or bad season, whether its night or day, God is there. Faith is just that-





Center of it- chris august

Lyrics: http://www.tabsforworship.com/tab/2979.htm

Somedays I'm feelin' like I
Can't win, can't get it right and it
Don't matter how hard I try
Today is not my day
When it feels like I'm going crazy
And it looks like nothings changing
Come sun come rainy day
You are still the same

CHORUS
In the dark, in the light
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt
In the places I hide
When I rise, when I fall
You'll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it

Some nights I lay awake and I
Can't push these thoughts away
I'm worried where I'm gonna go
Where I'm gonna be are You gonna be there for me
When it feels like the doors are closing
Gotta trust that You're doing something
Come sun come rainy day
You are all I need

There will be days I will forget
Everything You've done for me
But when I go back there again
I'm reminded

In the dark, in the light
In the morning and night
The center of it all, the center of it
In the loss, in the win
In the beauty and the sin
At the start, at the end
In the center of the center of it
