A Blue Whale

This is very interesting facts on a blue whale.
The blue whale is enormous.
It is the largest fish on earth.
It is as large as a Boeing jet.
Its heart is as large as a small car.
Fifty people could stand on its tongue.
Its spout shoots up at least 30 feet when it surfaces for air.
It takes very short naps, often floating near the surface of the ocean.
It relies on its thick layer of blubber to keep it warm in cold water.
It doesn’t sleep like me.
It has a bellybutton just like me.
Imagine what it would be like to swim alone through the cold ocean water.

Hurt My Feelings

I shake my head.
Here is the truth: one of the reasons I leave church is because friends really hurt my son and me when they gossip abt my son or me behind my back.
What am I supposed to do?
Send them a thank-u note?
But I am not sure- will I ever trust them again?
That is what I keep wondering at home.
Okay, I decide.
It is time 4 me to find out what it is like to live without them.
I don't say anything about that to them.
I am not going to bad-mouth them when they aren’t even there to defend themselves.

Be Strong

If I have God by my side, I don't have to be afraid either.
God will give me the strength to face whatever scares me.
Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and courageous. Don't be terrified; don't be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with u wherever u go."

Advice

We’ve got a lot of good points.
We want Tom to build up his self-confidence in his studies…
Our advice is to lighten up and have some fun with subjects that won’t get him down.

Tom's Maths Problem

Every time, Tom encounters maths in his daily life.
He hates maths as he doesn't know how to do it anyway.
We want him to think how he tackles the maths problem, try out different methods until one works, stare at the problem until the answer comes to him; describe what the problem goes through his head as he is trying to solve it.
His worst nightmare is endless math problems.
If he feels his main difficulty in maths is word problems, get an example book on how to solve word problems.
Let’s try it for weeks and see how it goes.

Difficult Conflict

I’m caught in a difficult conflict.
I can’t stand it.
Tom and my hubby make me feel so mean!
I keep trying to be nice to them, but tom changes his mind not to study or do homework or revision and my hubby’s still nagging at me regarding Tom’s study laziness.
What a headache!

Tom's Problem

I’m sorry for dumping Tom’s problem on u, but I need someone to share it with.
It is a relief to have someone who listens to my side of the story.
I look at my computer desk by the window and sadly announce that our plans for Tom turn so bad.
My hubby and I are more than little disappointed.
Tom obviously hasn’t spent much effort on his subject studies or doing his homework or revisions.
We counsel him a lot.
We scream at him or make him do anything he doesn’t want to do.
He always says to us that he isn’t sure he can, but he’ll try.
We frown our displeasure.
We aren’t here to start another lecture with him anymore.
He is more carefree!
He must start by learning how to deal with stress better.

My Diary

This new blog is my first time.
Hmmm...it isn't easy for me to think what the title is about.
Whenever I am in a good or bad mood, I sit right down and write diary.
I don't always send it, but it makes me feel better just to write it.
Writing is my way of unloading what is on my mind, of communicating, of dealing with and trying to make sense of real life and real feelings.
I am weird for writing and thinking some things that make me feel okay.
I don't know where I stand in the world.
I don't know who I am.
That is why I write.
To find myself.
Life hurts me sometimes.
Writing brings me face to face with reality.
I am not sure how to write so I keep putting it off.
But I thank God that I have spent my whole life writing my diary.
I feel free to share about what I'm writing about and want people to know.
