Pinocchio & my FA Blessed Sharing Closure

Between good (and popular) news and must-see (and maybe not what the audience want) news, as a reporter, which one will you prioritise?

This is one of the questions that Pinocchio, the korean series, ponder on.
News that nobody is watching is not really news. Is that true?

The series explore the power of media and how it can be misused to distort the truth.
Coming from a country like Indonesia, I totally could relate with that.
And therefore I found that reporter job is truly an awesome one.
Or a sad one. When you realise how wicked and scary this world really is.
Just like a lawyer job.

One morale that I really pondered on as I watched this was this.
In today's world, in order for your voice to be heard by many, you may have to compromise by selling your soul along the way. You tell people what they like to hear so that 'one day', you can tell people what you believe they need to hear. But will that 'one day' ever come if you no longer keep your soul?

Oh yeah, glad to be sharing with fa blessed today. Some interesting characters there :)
Guess I should have written note so I could deliver my points clearer.
Towards the end someone asked- do we really have to learn and grow only thru bad times?
To which someone else replied that it wasn't necessary. The difficult thing is to learn thru good times.
Because that comes with maturity.

I guess rather than explaining there, I will write this down here.
I never say that you can only learn thru bad times. Or that you can't learn anything in good times.
But some of life's greatest lessons, are learned thru trials and season of being in the desert.
Adversity is therefore not something to avoid. It is a privilege.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.  (James 1:2-4)

Did you not know what Jesus went thru at the final hours of his life on earth?
Did you not know that those suffering completed His work?

And therefore my friends, it is necessary.
True maturity? I believe the verses above explained what it took to achieve that :)

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
