Take this sinking boat and point it home

So i renewed my road tax online today and it was so convenient. I didnt even need to step out of the office. Hell i didnt even need to get of my seat. I just typed in information at myeg.com.my (free publicity!)this morning before lunch and hey presto by the end of the day i had my new road tax in the mail. Very useful for people who renew their road taxes at the last minute ( although i did mine 5 days early..ehem)
Everything seems so easy these days with the world wide web. Credit card bills paid online and all banking is done by the click of a mouse. And Ive been reading financial blogs (finance blogs?)... Blogs on finance (aha!) and they say ( when i say they i mean ONE blog on finance that i read.. which i only read because the author is soooooo hilariously funny in a geeky nerdy way) that people should try to renegotiate their loan, credit card interest rates and what not. So yesterday with just one phone call I eliminated my annual credit card fee and all the late charges due to it. (yeah you would be saying.. hello?! credit card these days dont have annual fees. Well Mister mine still has AND it is from one of the major banks).

So there.. if i havent said it enough... I love technology!

Are we human or are we dancers?

Yes. From now on updates will be in postsecret postcards .. ha ha.
But seriously with updating facebook status and twitter, there seems to be less and less need to update blogs. Too much hassle. Too much effort to create full sentences and elaborate issues.Less brain cells working?



And this guy IS hilarious. Cheers up my day everytime.

Moto moto a name so nice you say it twice

Just another one of those forwarded notes on facebook.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,
"How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It
depends. Is that your husband?"
In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's
weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with
your spouse / partner . You anticipated their call, wanted their touch,
and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit) .

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a
completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in
love... Because it's happening TO YOU .

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the
imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing
there; doing nothing, and then something
came along and happened TO YOU

Falling in love is easy It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But
after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love
fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely,
phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always
welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies , instead
of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think
about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the
initial stage when you were in love and
a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry
the right person?"
And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once
had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This
is when marriages breakdown People blame their spouse for their
unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the
most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV,
or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It
lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a
few years later.
Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S
LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER
just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love.. You have to "make"
it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of
love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy And most importantly,
it takes WISDOM . You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage
work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your
marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there
are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically
stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage
stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the
results are predictable. .. you can "make"love

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always :

"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who
you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."
