Celebrating New Year 2012

Oranges are juicy, filled with vitamin Cs, a fruit with its own color as a name and I simply love peeling a few oranges and juice it out and make an orange smoothie. Oranges play a significant role in my life as well as giving me its nutrition, not sure if it is so appropriate to post about oranges near to the end of 2011 or new year 2012.

Figure 1: Mandarin orange to be peeled.

According to the Chinese people, these oranges bring good luck, it's color is also in gold so, it means prosperity, but well, that is why the Chinese have mandarin oranges on the Chinese New Year.  

Figure 2: Peeled and ready to be eaten.

For me, oranges are my daily nutrition, I supposedly must have it at least once a week, either juiced or fruit. Brings me health, good concentration as well as confidence, releases my stress, heals my skin and make me more radiant (or is it just my feeling) and simply just enjoying the taste of it.

Oranges for new year 2012, wishing everyone health, blessings and prosperity. I am contented with celebrating new year with just a bit of an orange and prayer.

I can never stop loving You..

I have always gone astray. Moving on with my own strength and trusting my own instincts. I always feel my own pain and never shared a pint of it. I always keep ownership of what I am proud to do. I never listened or cared about the opinion of others. I keep feeling comfortable when the whole world is crying. I am totally selfish.

Still, You died for me, yet I never feel it or understand why You did it. I am human, I feel the pain, I feel the sadness, I feel the anger and I never truly felt love which You poured onto me. I always make choices which are vain and blinded me in a lot of ways. This choices are my own and unguided. I never needed any guidance.

But still, You came to me, You filled my empty heart with songs of deliverance whenever I am afraid. Whenever I lose confidence and hope, You came to me and touched my shoulder. I never realized that You are there, when I cried myself all alone. I hurt, I feel it myself, but You heard my prayer and cries too.

You gave me strength to go on in life, I never realized that you're beside me when I am near danger. Even through all those stresses and confusion, I forgot to thank and return to You, but You always waited for me, and in the end, I found my way back to You through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

I suffered but I know You suffered the most, and every time I sinned, its like I'm spitting on Your face, I'm throwing a stone at You and insult You, but You still loved me and cared for me. Now that I've known Your Love, I've understand Your goodness, I've been touched by your gentleness, I can never stop loving You..
