Rewriting what I might have already written in my journal in this blog is not as fun as it sounded to be. But if I can type at the speed of thought without any hesitation, not wasting any second, it will be a good practice to develop my skills in communication. If it cannot be oral conversation face to face, I pray that it will be my writing that can be noticed, appreciated, and admired, even from the native English speakers.

So, I’m hyped up to write more. The paragraph which is like the above one can help me to warm up the motivation for writing, loosen the strained fingers for rapid typing. Anyway… I am just grateful that I’m granted to be have this talent. Help me to use it for good of the people and You.

Considering the late persecution toward us Christians, I suspect it’s because of our mistakes that were intentionally or unintentionally committed against our fellow Christians and even the other non-believers. Maybe this era of veracity, truth-revealing is for commanding us to beg forgiveness from You and from other fellow human beings. This is the opportunity to serve the others to prove our belief in You, amend the mistakes, and spread Your word through our contribution. We may fight against those who attack Your Law, but only using the means of words, discussion, examples, practices, and patience. Using the physical, vehement force will harm us worse than we worried it to be. Please help us.

I am assigned to share a room with a stranger. It was something I wanted to avoid, but I must not forget some financial, psychological benefit. I can save about $200 a month, and being with someone can help me not to do anything wrong or shameful. But I must pray for meeting the person with good character, whom can be trusted easily, and will not frustrate me when I want to be Your people. Before making hasty judgment to the person I never met, I know I must evaluate my true characteristics. But at least, I don’t want to define him to be a stumbling block. On the other hand, I may have to look for other place to set the optimal environment to finish college without making any mistakes. Time and space is scarce, and I need to solve the efficiency and the economical problems during my stay in Stillwater. Strengthen me to accept, adapt to any kind of environment or limitation.

Having a heavily raining day, everything seems to be dampened, and my skin is itchy; irritating. Hate this kind of weather which prevents me many activities.

Adhering to the schedule in my calendar is not as easy as I though it would be. Living too freely, I often change the plan too easily. Google Calendar is not a bad scheduling utility, however, it should be more flexible, responsive to the imperfection of human behaviors. Making the system that expects to be modified frequently is the key factor to be considered by schedule programs. Easy postponing the events to next day is much needed.

Set up the bookkeeping in Google Docs Spreadsheet. It was first time using it, and the existence of the essential functions did satisfy my needs. Having the advanced experience with the Excel, it was easy to judge the usability of Google Spreadsheet. I liked the simple standardized formula writing, which weren’t too much different from the popular Excel way. Most of all, it’s online and I can access anywhere with the internet connection.

Started detailed bookkeeping. Currently my balance is negative and there is no expectation for any kind of income. But the main purpose of bookkeeping is to track every detail of my expenditure, thus tracking my life. Finding the mistakes, and the pattern can help me to make economic decisions more quickly and righteously. No more regretful way of living. Later, this habit of bookkeeping will guide me, challenge me to earn more money and grow my wealth.

Being talented is more important than being rich, but wealth is something sharable that is tangible, instantaneous, which can be useful to others. Optimal shameless effective life I am striving for.

Today’s weather was really hot. I just can’t help being amazed at how I survived today without using the air conditioner. The itchiness is still not gone. Also, went to see a doctor for my constant coughing and throat aches. Allergies that I have not known about for long time is frustrating me.

Eagerly anticipated new equipments were delivered to me. The notebook carrying Targus backpack and the 320GB Philips External drive. I still can’t be sure if the prices were bargain, after many weeks to find the best deal. Anyway, these new stuff had been needed for a while and I am satisfied to finally have them with me. Migrated all the files into one large hard disk. The drive seems to be too compact or delicate, worry me badly to carry it with excessive care.

Found out about new HBO series “Generation Kill” I suppose it’s about the modern warfare and the struggling young soldiers operating in Iraq. Caught my attention, for it being about military and presented by HBO, like “Band of Brothers.” Hope it’s not too bad.

Whenever I go some place with my parents, they often forget that I am an independent young adult reaching to be thirty. I admit that it’s due to my disinclination to decorate myself more suit to be an adult. However, the most strange aspect is that I actually don’t feel too much bothered by their excessive attention to me. Rather, I unintentionally feel grateful for their limitless love and willingness to nurture me even though I’m already grown. When I was younger, immature, I would feel ashamed but currently not anymore. The relationship between the parents and their children is absolutely special and no accusation to it can be justified so easily.

Seriously considering for rebuilding, or even closing the fxceed.com article scrapping. It’s nothing for the public contribution since no one can reach to it, for anything original or unique. Must re-think about what kind of blog I want to build.

Started using online blogging. Testing the new methods of logging my thoughts, solutions, and information. What was initially recorded in my notebook will be examined and rearranged to be put here. This filtering process can add some value to my writings. Practice

For blogging usage, I began to use Firefox browser. It will be good practice for the transition from IE, and some of the unique features like spell checking is very useful though it’s not perfect.

Better not overburden myself to write so much at once. No blog post can be perfect at first. Gradually polish it to satisfy myself and the readers, when it’s published.

From reading the initial chapters of “Blogging Heroes” so far, I have realized the importance and power of commenting on other blogs. It’s the first and the best way to strengthen my web presence.
