Sometimes i get pissed off really easily. I get annoyed with the smallest things...like my messy room, or dirt on my pants..or when my mom tells me to wear another coat b/c it's cold outside..or whatever, i can get very un-fun and unapproachable.
Thing is, i have to focus on my responsibilities rather than my rights
For example, my brother wants to eat my brocolli's.
I can either a)refuse b)let him eat
if he chooses to eat it without my permission,
i can a) get mad b) let him
As a christian, AND as a sister, i have to focus, as i said, on my responsibilities, my responsibility being, well, being loving sister and glorifying God.
My reason would be that the brocolli is mine.
I often put reason before my responsibilities, which causes conflict, which is not good.
I have to stop being so selfish, and let my brother eat my brocolli.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." -Phill 2:3

I was reading the papers yesterday on the tributes to Cecilia, this one i really liked in particular:
"Don't search for meaning in this vile act. Rather, glory in the memory of your beautiful daughter and all she means to you. Find some comfort in all the grieving hearts in this city today."

funny story:
I was shopping for shampoo at shopper's with my bro yetserday...and i was gassy.
We first walked into the makeup aisle, and my bro started sniffing really loud, and he looked at me with "suspicious eyes" and said "you can warn me before you do it the next time"...so i was like "alright"
So we continued walking each aisle, and for some off reason, i just kept on releasing, and he kept on going "aww man, give me a break"...
When we got to the last aisle, he started sniffing really loud again, and looked at me with 'suspicious eyes', i looked at him innocently and said, quite loudly really, in chinese, "ngor gum chee JUN hai mo fong ah!" (i really didn't fart this time)
Just when i was in the middle of the sentence, thsi chinese guy walked past us...
HAHAHA so funny, he probably smelled it as he passed by and heard what i said.
O well, we laughed SO hard, but it's not like i'll see that guy again. or maybe i will, but i dont remember his face anymore.
