Soul Adoptees

I'm procrastinating.

I should be doing others things but I just don't feel like doing it. Like planning out my itinerary for my upcoming overseas trip or ironing my clothes. I feel so lazy.... Oh gosh.

You know, having a soul adoptee to pray for is tough. But yours truly was greedy enough to adopt 9 living persons as her soul adoptees. Nine!! I'm making my own life tougher. And it is not as if my praying stamina is strong..!

I'm lazy... but because I wanted to adopt nine living souls, I have to keep them constantly on my mind and in my prayers. Be it at work, bedtime, bus stop, daydreaming, they are always on my mind....circling round my thoughts.

It takes a lot of commitment to pray for them. Sometimes, I struggle to pray, especially during bedtime when I'm half asleep. Or when I get distracted by a passing cat or other annoying humans as I wait at the bus stop. Or even at work where I just try to close my eyes in prayer and the office door opens with someone looking for "Kathleen". Sigh.

It has been about a month since I started this activity. I started on June 13, a significant date as it is the birthday of one of my soul adoptees (easier to remember too, hahaha). I am supposed to complete one year of prayers for them.

In a way, I am excited to see what my prayers can do for these nine people within a year. Yet, I am also scared to see that nothing has changed.

But dear God, give me the strength and will power to pray for these nine people for a year. Please accept all my prayers for them, no matter how short, how long, how incomplete or how complete they are. These prayers come truly from the bottom of my heart.

And I will try my best to carry on.

At least it makes me increase my prayers....hahahaha!

I won't tell you who the nine adoptees are but I can break this down for you.
1. 8 guys, 1 lady
2. 5 are known to me and they know me, 4 are only known by name to me and they have no idea who I am.

Keep praying!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

30 Day Blog Journal

Image
Sometimes, we bloggers run out of topics to talk/write about. Then we sit and stare at our computers, racking our brains, hoping something will crop up. More often than not, what pops up are silly, stupid and gives people the "What?" impression kind of posts. Hence to be more "organized" and so-called creative, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon as well and do a 30 day blog journal thingie. I am not sure if you have to do it 30 days straight or you can take 30 days to complete, by which could take me the whole year basically... Defeats the purpose doesn't it? Hahaha. I'll try to complete it in 30 days straight, becasue who knows, halfway through, something exciting crops up right? Here's the list of what you can expect in the coming days. Day 1 – your favorite song Day 2 – your favorite movie Day 3 – your favorite television program Day 4 – your favorite book Day 5 – your favorite quote Day 6 – 20 of my favorite things Day 7 – a photo tha...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...
