..my battle stance..

I was thinking about Mary suddenly. Jesus' mom. Her life.. it was quite incredible, isn't it? No wonder that some of our friends would look up to her in such a special way. Think about it. From Genesis to Revelation.. has any woman ever conceived in such a way? by the Holy Spirit? which literally means.. God? I can't even imagine what that really, really means. If you watch anime, you probably know this show 'Beelzebub'. Well that baby was totally not normal. Only the characters in the show would believe he was human. But Jesus? He was born a baby. Human. I suppose Mary would have expected a glow in the dark baby at least. But there he was.. warm and tiny, in her embrace. Baby Jesus. And I suppose baby Jesus needed breastfeeding as well. So their relationship would've been truly.. that of a mother and child from day one. to try imagining Mary.. on one hand a normal mother, and yet on the other hand, doing her best to grasp this grand p...

so this song returns..

Hosea 3:5 They’ll come back chastened to reverence      before God and his good gifts, ready for the End of the story of his love. (MSG) they will come trembling to Adonai and his goodness in the acharit-hayamim . (CJB) and they shall come in [anxious] fear to the Lord and to His goodness and His good things in the latter days. (AMP)   I pray that God will help me each morning.. to start the day with bended knees and humble heart. That I will start the day in the fear of the Lord. And before anything else.. that I may come to His goodness with reverence and awe.

Watched Man of Steel 3D in Jakarta over the weekend. I must say that some of the effect were cool. But for me.. 2.5 hours is way too long for anything except les miserables. And LOTR Return of the King! We had quite a headache by the time the movie ended. Lotsa fighting, brute force fighting.. So much so that I forgot whether or not the man of steel got wear his trademark red underwear. and having checked the poster again, I realised that he betrayed his underwear #$#@%@#$ this is blasphemy. how could he forsake the very thing that makes Superman, Superman? speak of identity crisis @_@ No wonder I felt that something was missing. Oh yeah.. Bistro Baron at Plaza Indonesia.. turned out nicer than my expectation. We loveee their mash potato. Soo... gooddd...With truffle I suspect its gonna be even better. We are sucker for truffle+potato combo. The roast chicken also good! And will end the post today with this clip (Yeah I know we all know this song..) beyond roma...

for the uninitiated.. we have a neighbor next door. a nice lady called michelle. she would have been one of the pretty girls when she was younger. quite incidental that we got to know her name around the time we watched that life-changing movie.. "you are the apple of my eye". she could have been andreas' fallback plan if it doesn't work out with michelle chen. well.. been almost 3 yrs. with probably less than 2 hour total of chatting time between us. only occasional hi, have a nice day, and bye.  so.. one day.. just recently.. she knocked my door. (the last time she did that was to borrow my chairs). looking for me. ehem.. and told me that life changing news... "I am pregnant". ..... In case you wonder..  she wasn't asking me to be responsible for this. Of course I am not the father. So why was she telling me this? Coz she was thinking of looking for new place to rent. Well life changing for her lah.. I mean. so far we only know ...

Well.. he got her "maybe" reply on twitter. Not sure if she really meant it when she said she would check her schedule.. She never went with him. But Nina Agdal went. I dunno what it takes to court an American swimsuit model like Kate Upton. But apparently this kind of video works. Maybe it's his "Jew card", as someone pointed out. But it's worth a try.

For whatever reason, I find my interest in movie rather unpredictable lately. Iron Man 3 to me is.. good.. but not fantastic. But simple low key movie such as Silver Lining Playbook left deeper impression. Furious 6.. it was a fun ride. But.. too 'unreal' to me. I mean.. yeah.. no one expect 'reality' in this kind of movie.  *spoiler alert but still..  I can't accept that part where Vin Diesel jumps and catch the girl midair and somehow.. still manage enough momentum to fall where he fall. You know.. from Physics point of view..  and I can't accept that the scriptwriter has to kill the Israeli chick. Remind me of GI Joe. Is it the trend now to kill off the most good looking character in the movie? But I must say that the movie is memorable. Why? Next to me were an Indian couple. the guy was heavily tattooed, with solid build. Almost like Vin Diesel feel.. but shorter, and uglier. There was this part where the movie reveal the 'traitor...
