new news on NEWS!!

just a few hours after i posted old news on NEWS ...

we have new news on NEWS!!! well, not exactly the group per se, but one of the members a.k.a. Tegoshi Yuya (my sis fav)

Offical news!!!
Tegoshi Yuya will be starring in an upcoming drama scheduled for release in Jan 2011!!!

Drama Title: Deka Wanko (taken from a manga series by Morimoto Kozukeko, author of the famous Gokusen)

Genre: Comedy detective drama

Cast:
Tegoshi Yuya as Kirishima
Mikako Tabe as Ichiko Hanamori
Sawamura Ikki as Yanagi? (not very sure yet)

Synopsis:
Ichiko Hanamori plays a detective who wears lolli-type outfits and solves cases with her amazing sense of smell (whats with the plot??). Kirishima is her co-partner who, from my google-ing, is a hot-headed but super cool person (who maybe plays her love interest?). Yanagi is apparently Ichiko's senior who is a genius.

Can't wait!! *bounce bounce*

and most importantly ... can't wait for Tego to chop off those permed curly locks of his and have a new kakkoi hairstyle!!! XDDDDDD i'm sure lotsa fans agree with me haha

Heavenly Wisdom

i don't know what to do ... really need wisdom from above ...

Lord, please give me wisdom! As you said in Your word that those who lack wisdom should ask and You would give freely...

i resolved today to really just put in my best before i go. so things went better in today's meeting. i learnt, absorbed and understood better. praise God.

and He made it seem not so hard nor complicated. thank You Lord! but it is still really too much to do. can't take it. i have a headache today ...

anyway, back on track to the meaning of Christmas!
Number 2: The 2nd meaning of Christmas is dispelling the darkness!! Ever realise that the atmosphere around Christmas is so kira kira (sparkling) and a joyous occasion? The spiritual atmosphere is very important, as it's the time of giving and a time of joy!

So lets all join in to dispel the darkness!! *shoo! shoo! shoo!!* *stomp stomp*

High above my circumstances, I will bless You Lord ...

LOL just the post before is about administrative scriveners, and now i have to become one.

Marketing Executive: Leasing Administration, Tenancy Agreements, IRAS e-Stamping, Advertising Administration, Operations middleman, Finance GTOs, Counselling administration/seminars.. super underpaid ... and now they want to add administrative scrivener??? doumo, tamura desu.

Psalms 119 sums up how i feel right now ...

107 I have suffered much;
preserve my life, LORD, according to your word.

114 You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.

116 Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live;
do not let my hopes be dashed.
117 Uphold me, and I will be delivered;
I will always have regard for your decrees.

121 I have done what is righteous and just;
do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure your servant’s well-being;
do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail, looking for your salvation,
looking for your righteous promise.
124 Deal with your servant according to your love
and teach me your decrees.
125 I am your servant; give me discernment
that I may understand your statutes.

126 It is time for you to act, LORD;
your law is being broken.


132 Turn to me and have mercy on me,
as you always do to those who love your name.

134 Redeem me from human oppression,
that I may obey your precepts.
135 Make your face shine on your servant
and teach me your decrees.
136 Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
for your law is not obeyed.

139 My zeal wears me out,
for my enemies ignore your words.
140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
and your servant loves them.
141 Though I am lowly and despised,
I do not forget your precepts.

143 Trouble and distress have come upon me,
but your commands give me delight.
144 Your statutes are always righteous;
give me understanding that I may live.

145 I call with all my heart; answer me, LORD,
and I will obey your decrees.
146 I call out to you; save me
and I will keep your statutes.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I have put my hope in your word.
148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.

153 Look on my suffering and deliver me,
for I have not forgotten your law.
154 Defend my cause and redeem me;
preserve my life according to your promise.

156 Your compassion, LORD, is great;
preserve my life according to your laws.

166 I wait for your salvation, LORD,
and I follow your commands.

169 May my cry come before you, LORD;
give me understanding according to your word.
170 May my supplication come before you;
deliver me according to your promise.
171 May my lips overflow with praise,
for you teach me your decrees.
172 May my tongue sing of your word,
for all your commands are righteous.
173 May your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.

Tokujo Kabachi

I really enjoyed this J-drama series by Sakurai Sho and Horikita Maki.

A good combi and good plot. Interesting cases that the administrative scriveners handle. The romance part at the end was so sweet but dang funny.

I went to TS to buy the dvd, but currently it is at $29.90 because it is a new release! even at 30% discount it would be $20.93. I shall wait till it becomes like the older dvds, $24.90 at 50% which is $12.45, or even the super sale ones at $7.90!! HAHAHA

but i would recommend this drama, out of the whole list of J-dramas i recommend LOL

*thumbs up*

Audacity & Tenacity

As pastor quoted the parable.. about the persistent widow and the unjust judge. basically, the judge is corrupt, and neither feared God nor cared what people think. however, this poor but persistent widow had a very good case. And she came everyday pleading and petitioning to the unjust judge to avenge her.

Now, of course the unjust judge ignored her at first. like hmph! why should i bother with you?! but the widow came everyday, hounding him and crying.. until one day the unjust judge says to himself.. even though i do not fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, i will see that she gets justice!!
(reference Luke 18)

So we as humans, know this principle of being thick skinned.. and keep hounding and asking people for things we want or things we want to get done. BUT!! we are always wishy washy in our prayers to God. How much more our heavenly Father who loves us so much, wants to bless us, even more than what we can imagine!!

So lets all ask the Lord audaciously (boldly) and tenaciously (persistently)! Not of selfish things, but in line with God's will and principle, to bless ourselves or to bless others. And dun be afraid of making God nervous or bored, because He is almighty and powerful, and He loves to hear us pray! :)

And to follow up the previous post, i shall break up the meaning of Christmas!!
Number 1: The meaning of Christmas is giving, a heart without hating or striving ^_^

Latest update?

Gosh... i realised that i have not updated my blog for like MONTHS!!! I realised it only after JS asked me the other day for my blog address.

My last update was on June 13th??? LOL my whole life has only been plastered on facebook XDDDD

O ma ga, so many things has happened since then!! My birthday passed, Massu's birthday passed, somewhere after that was Shige's birthday haha ...

And then it was National day, and then i have totally no recollection as to what i did in September... Oh NEWS LIVE Album came out and they held concerts which i could not go for sheesh...

And then i went to Japan for a holiday in October for ten days and came back!! After that awesome trip, found out that my salary would not be raised, so its job searching again ...

And now its November!! Even Ryou-chan's birthday has passed ... NEWS single Fighting Man has been released ... gosh time really flies ... then it would be tegoshi's birthday, then pri's birthday, then xq's bday, then js bday ...

Soon it will be the year 2011!! And i just got used to writing the year as TWO ZERO ONE ZERO!!! *shakes fist at time* but oh well ...

Everytime the end of the year approaches, everyone would go into a reflective mode. Like what did i achieve this year? how has my walk with the Lord grown? what does the Lord want me to achieve next year? so many questions and no answers LOL
