It got me a lot of headaches!  Here are some concrete examples....</h1> ***There was a time when my phone's alarm is not working so every time i wake up in the morning and get ready for work,i usually open the television and use it as my clock,there's this morning TV show where it shows the clock time on screen....and so one morning, when i woke up i immediately put on the TV, it's ABS-CBN station suppose to be but coz of technical problems it can't be viewed  so i turn it into GMA network...and to my dismay i was already one hour late than my usual waking up time...so i was already in a panic state coz that day is a very important day,we have a grand activity....i didn't take a bath anymore,just did everything in a hurry like half bath only and put on my clothes, etc....and ride on a taxi instead of my usual public jeepney transport...and the fare hurts..a lot! huhu   ..on the road,i have this odd feeling..seems like something is wrong...the highway is clear,no traffic, so calm and peaceful...i began to ask myself, am i dreaming? seems like i'm in a surrealism scene...i even asked the taxicab driver if it's a non-working holiday or..?? he just shrug off his shoulders...when i reach my destination and enter the gate, i swipe my ID company card on the login machine...LO and BEHOLD! it's still 6:05 a.m. !! i'm more than an hour earlier!!! but as i recalled,it's 6:30 on the TV screen...so the next morning,i checked it out again...the number 5 really does look like 6 if you'll not look very closely.  OH my goodness!!  stupid! stupid! it's a good thing  i didn't request my father to drive me or else i am going to be the butt of joke again in our family gatherings ..my credibility is really getting thinner and thinner  hahaha   ***My group of friends once ate in a food chain resto...we bring along lots of food coz we've been to a party and would only like to have drinks before heading home...since we're all lazy to carry or bring home the food,we decided to give it to the guard on duty. That resto is actually on the brink of closing up their business so there's less people coming..in fact we're the only customers on that time when we enter...i was the last one who stood up so i was tasked to hand in the food to the guard. I didn't see anybody, instead i saw one man seated on a corner,eating his meal...i immediately presumed he is the guard,it's almost 7 evening so maybe he's eating his dinner already...without much ado,i went to his table and in a pleasant respectful manner, i offered to him the food...i told him the food is delicious,it's fresh  and it's not eaten up yet. He just looked at me with a puzled face...in the window glass, i can see my friends waving at me, saying no! no! and pointing to another direction..some of them are already bending with laughters... When  I joined my friends...still in teary eyed state of laughters,they told me that the person is not the guard but a customer, the guard is outside! ouch! it's a real case of mistaken identity...  OH MY, so so embarrassing!!! **Now, see what i mean?...it's not easy to be me , i am a walking disaster.. LOLZ!   **BTW...it seems i lost two of my good friends here....Solar and Rage...??? hmmm....terminated account? why???  these two can really be too notorious at times in their way of words ....or just way too smart....i just wonder....i hope they're coming back :)       Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/zahlee/journal/1942262 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:29 EST Sharing with you this beautiful prayer... http://hk.zorpia.com/zahlee/journal/1904973 Dear God, most of us always desire a perfect situation, a perfect life. Yet, you my Lord, do not grant a perfect life. What you give instead is a perfect heart in the midst of an imperfect life..Teach me to be cheerful, hopeful, smiling amidst imperfections  and to enjoy Your wondrous blessings every moment in time. Amen.  Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/zahlee/journal/1904973 Sun, 17 May 2009 10:14 EST A Tidbit of Wisdom on Life and Religion http://hk.zorpia.com/zahlee/journal/1901066 (remarkable lines  from the book 'Esau' by Philip Kerr) "This is a most holy man,"he explained. "He is the Swami Chandare,a Dasnami Sannyasin of the great Lord Shiva.He has taken most strict vow of nothingness to put his mind to physical and spiritual disciplines." "So what is it about the yeti that you hope to learn?", the swami asked. "We hope that by learning about the yeti,we may learn more about ourselves," said Swift. "He who has understanding is careful and ever pure, reaches the end of the journey from which he never returns.But it is natural to search as you do.From where do we come?By what power do we live?Where do we find rest?Beyond senses are their objects and beyond these is the mind and beyond that is pure reason.To know the answers to these questions however is not always source of much comfort and satisfaction,for beyond reason is the spirit in Man." "Science shifts man away from the center of the universe.Is it not so?Shifts him so far away that he feels small and insignificant.There is truth,yes?But not a very satisfactory one.Strive for the highest and be in the light,but the path is as narrow as the edge of a razor and difficult to tread.We are all fascinated by physical ties of ancestry.Is it not so?In the West,people try to find that which was lost through their family trees.But why is so much forgotten?Why is it so difficult?Why are there so few of us who can follow our lines of descent?Perhaps it was not meant to be.Perhaps it is better after all to live in ignorance of such things." "But what is the truth about yeti?How did he come to be here?Why - " "Who knows the truth?,"he giggled in a way that reminded her of a newsreel."Who can tell how and when this world and ourselves came into being?But what is certain is that the gods are later than the beginning.So who knows where any of us comes from?Only the God in the highest heaven perhaps.Or perhaps not."  "And don't be so hard in religion,"he said. "Life itself is a temple and a religion.God's purpose in life is like a great carpet. Seen from one side of a loom it makes no sense.It has no shape,no logic.Just hundreds of strands of wool hanging loosely here and there.But seen from the other side everything can be understood.The pattern becomes clear.There are no loose bits of wool.Just order."
