110 :: Macau :: Character vs Charm [ 11:34:00 pm ]

Heys all,

As promised, this is step numero uno to being a more regular blogger this year. :)

Would like to backtrack a little bit first.. I didn't have the chance to blog on 11 Jan, which was a day before I flew to Macau, because I was so busy with many stuff.

But 11 Jan was a BIG day for me. I have always loved the eleventh of every month because I gave my heart to Jesus on an eleventh. But this one had been more special.

11 Jan 2010 =110110 and it so happened to also be the 110th month of my knowing Christ. :)

It was also a day when many things in the areas of my life were being thought over and some decisions were made; decisions, I believe, that will change my life - a turning point.

I am always thankful for God's saving grace upon my life.

Visiting Macau had not been the smoothest of all trips but it has been most fruiful. It was a family trip, along with my cousin's family unit with my aunt & uncle..our families are very close-knit and while there had been some friction along the way, I gained a lot from this trip.

Physically, I am a bit worn, perhaps it's because travelling is not my top avenue of getting recharged. But spiritually, I had been observant and alert to what God has to say on certain things..and He really does speak a lot on trips! :) He has shown me on some things that I need to quickly change and I also saw how communication is so important. If there's miscommunication in our lives, there will be room given for relationships to break down.

Anyway, the many random shots have been posted on my Facebook profile..the more proper, family ones are still in my bro's camera..and I will try to post some up soon :)

Here's a few taken with my phone..

I am greatly amazed by what I see out of the windows whenever I am on flights.

How can anyone deny the existence of God?

He is real.

He is Creator.

He is most amazing.

My two year-old nephew, Darius

He's a darling.

She's about to wring herself out of my hold in this shot, haha.

My 6 month-old niece, Katie.

My love for Starbucks proven.

I did go in for a cup of Mocha Frapp... :O

And how can a trip to Macau be completed without a visit to the St Paul's Ruins?

I loved the place.

Read a tweet by Sidney Mohede earlier...

Personality and charm have the power to open doors. Character keeps them open.

And I want to say that this is really true. I have been thinking a lot about this lately.

Sometimes, we meet people who have absolute charm and they can be Miss Personality or Mr Charisma..but if there's no right character beneath it all, things start to crumble after some time.

In my industry, I meet a lot of charming personalities and I get to work with them as well. But I'm constantly compelled to be not just a charming person or a girl with a good personality. Godly character matters a lot.

Not that we don't improve the way we look or the way we dress and even how we relate to others..but there's got to be substance beneath!

I wanna be a woman of greater substance in 2010 :)
