Disastrous 2012??

Figure 1: Dim 2012.

Yesterday evening, at about 7pm, a friend of mine residing at an island just Westernmost of my country just called, requesting a prayer for the safety of his family and the people at the island. His voice was uneasy but remained calm as he relayed me the message.

The fear of disaster and death is the most terrifying feeling one would get when facing it. The uncertainty and effects that death brings is truly painful, draining love ones souls of happiness. People always think, is this life worth living if there is only death waiting at the door.

After praying for everyone, I called up every relative and people I know contactable just to know their conditions at their respective areas. Slept well at 1am in the morning after knowing everything is alright back there. Death is inevitable, my legs shake just thinking of it. 

The earthquake originates at a neighboring country, just 400km South of it, so far in the news there are no occurrences of a tsunami, this is a fast report of what is happening there.

Here are pictures of people, terrified, panicky, running away, hugging loved ones at the sight of disaster and the unscented presence of death. What is happening to this world, with lot of fake soothsayers and false prophets predicting the end of the world, it is clearly stated in the Book of Life that the end of ages is already near.

Heed the warning or not, life goes on, but knowing that this world won't last, it is best to invest in assets which is unseen. Life in the heavenly realm will be a life without tears, death and anymore painful suffering that this world offers. I'll gladly leave everything enticing in this world just to have a taste of heaven.

If 2012 is my last, I hope I'll weight up enough to be in the promised heavenly kingdom.

Start 2012

When you start an engine of a vehicle, you expect it to start immediately without any hiccups or repeated start attempts. This is correct when starting an emergency gen-set in case of sudden failure of the prime mover, as you don't want a total black out, which will cause terrible consequences to self and team. 

That is me starting my new year. As responsible as I can get, I have to ensure that I am competent enough to handle. Likewise I should be starting up despite the coldness of the surrounding, I need to step up and show that I can and willing to do it despite the work conditions, challenge is my fuel.

So for 2012, I'll be working out for my real competency as well as my health and physical looks. Going to start this step by step to ensure no hiccups occur and pray that everything will work out well, as the clear skies might indicated safety, but winds blowing at 300kph can bring a storm above your head in no time.
