I don't understand why but I was so spirited this morning. I woke up earlier than usual (though I decided to continue laying on the bed till 8.30).. I did not have to drag myself to work. I just felt good. Don't tell me I will meet someone special today =D
I did beat Chelsea 4-2 in my Football Manager '06 game last night and felt SUPER afterwards. But that couldn't be the reason right?
Oh but what a game! What a pulsating match! I was up against Ibrahimovich and Torres and had to endure Chelsea's barrage. My Trabelsi kept Robben quiet all night and Kompany was making last ditch tackles and Sebastian Frey was heroic. Oh.. anyway.. it's just a game, too bad.
It's funny how the game describes our addictiveness level. Previously I only got that "remember to wash your underwear" level at best. But this time.. I have twice or thrice left the game on as I slept.. I have risen to a brand new level of addictiveness. Now its "remember to call your work for more sick leave". Heh..
The Football Manager 2007 will be released this weekend. I was reading the game's blog and many people gave comments that make me wonder.. One claimed that he failed his subjects last year because of this game. Some called this game their 'heroin'. Game addicts, something you never have one century ago.
Talking about addictiveness.. I think game is really one of the most overlooked addictive stuff. I used to underestimate its power. Playing can be addictive. Game can be destructive.
It reminds me of Paul's advice. Don't be mastered by anything. Maintain your self control in every single thing. It's really hard. It's really really hard. Every person has something that he/she like very much. I admire Paul for he claimed that he has trained himself such that he would focus his attention entirely on God.
And I admire Timothy for he was young and yet.. he maintained an excellent standard of living. He restrained himself from all the worldly pleasure, knowing that he could have enjoyed some of them. He chose not to. He did it for the sake of every single lamb that God has entrusted him with.
We read in the bible.. how the apostles' shadow and handkerchief carried God's power such that people were healed thru those things. We were in awe. We want to be used that mightily. But we forgot something. We forgot that they had paid the price. In order to be used by God in full capacity.. the only way is to empty ourselves. And empty means empty. Still a long way to go for me...
