Motivate__Motivating__Motivated!

The title is just a "fast forward", for real it takes slightly longer time for me to be motivated to do something.

Being a typical sanguine I'm easily excited, but to be constantly motivated to do something is not easy. I lack focus and determination sometimes.

Recently I've been continuously watching movies like "Rattatouille" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" for atleast 4 days. Inspiring, they're my favourite movies :)

Now for those who have watched "Cloudy", you might have noticed that Flint STARES at a picture of himself that he drew when he was young to motivated himself.

Seriously? I mean who does that to get motivated? Me! Does that work? More than you could imagine. Here's the story:

One day in class while having nothing much to do, little pre-teen Celina took out a small paper from an exercise book and started drawing. She drew her parents being 20 years younger (talk about staying youthful), her bros growing into successful people, and herself becoming a scientist. (Yup, I'm kinda a nerd..I think)

The drawing was titled "My Dreams/Wishes". Written on it was also "UPSR-7As PMR-8As".

Sadly she couldn't acheive her UPSR goal (though she worked her head off) and thought that hardwork didn't really pay off to be successful. PMR results wasn't her best because she didn't intend to work for it. Then one day...

She uncovered that little piece of drawing.

"Man...did I really drew this?"

She felt like she had let lots of people down, including God, but mostly, herself.

That's it Celina! Don't forget Colossians 3v17:

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Before you answer (which you most probably might have right after you read my title) check out this snap:










I actually deliberately went to Popular Bookstore to find this particular joke *heehee~ please no one tell anyone who works at any bookstore that I snapped this and posted it here okay? *shhhh~
Anyway, done laughing? I actually already read this book a long time ago lent to me from Jed's friend. The title: Diary Of A Wimpy Kid















The book is actually a series and they're gonna come up with their 5th book this year. Not only that, its so popular now its become a movie!















By the way, Ben has a knack on copying what he watches or reads so one day.......

Celina and Eshlyn conversation : Tension

Tension.

Eshlyn: Why?

There’s just so much stuff going on.

You’re talking about Impactors right? I thought things are better now?

Well…yeah. But there’s still many things bothering me.

Well the drama team conflict is slowly resolving, that’s a good thing. What did you got from this case?

I felt the relationship between some individual Impactors are shaken, including mine. It seems like most are pointing fingers at me.

But it’s not all your fault right? Almost everyone have a fault somehow, well I’m a bit confused too because I’m part of you anyway.

Haha… Yeah, but I still feel real bad. There’s something else that isn’t right with all these things happening. I just realized some time ago that the devil is trying to pull strings in our youth fellowship and break us down. This isn’t a usual thing as far as I can remember, it just happened quite recently between last year and this year.

Hm… Oh! I ‘v got something! The vision of the Great Banquet! Isn’t it an interchurch youth project? We’ve been talking about unity between churches and how important it is to be united.

Yeah, you’re right. That could be it! I heard a prophecy that the youth of FGC will be the ones rising up to lead the revival wave in the city of Alor Star. So that’s why the devil is targeting us?

That could precisely be the point. Though the dilemma may look like it’s a present issue, it can affect the future! This is serious! Breaking down the unity and good relationship between Impactors will so gonna have ugly consequences. No way this is happening! Could it be because the revival is delayed or we’re not chosen anymore or…or…

Shut up Eshlyn! Quit being so negative! What God plans we don’t know for sure, but His plans will definitely come to pass if we just trust in Him.

Ok ok. Maybe this could be a time of testing and shaping us. This is so depressing and hard. Celina, I wonder why it’s my turn to get depressed.

Be at peace, girl. God won’t allow that devil creep bully more than we can handle, but we still got to be careful by the way. For bigger plans or not, Impactors got to gear up for the War of the Eternal!

I’ve suddenly remembered a saying from the movie “Facing the Giants”, the coach said: WE LOSE, WE PRAISE HIM; WE WIN, WE PRAISE HIM.

I like that. God help us! I hope typing this will help explain more to others what’s happening.

Yeah, this approach is definitely easier than speaking face to face, especially discussing this with Impactors. *sigh~ Anyway, God help us.

Alright Eshlyn, thanks for being there for me, you’re a great company.

Don’t thank me, thank God!

"The Triumph" -- Ron Clark Story

This is a seriously must-see movie! Impactors (Youth Fellowship) watched this movie on our Movie Time! on the 29th January. Its super cool and funny! Here's a short intro:

The Ron Clark Story follows the inspiring tale of an energetic, creative and idealistic young teacher who leaves his small North Carolina hometown to teach in a New York City public school. Through his passionate use of special rules for his classroom, highly innovative teaching techniques and an undying devotion to his students and helping them cope with their problems, Clark is able to make a remarkable difference in the lives of his students.

Though the students in the story are only aged 12, but they have many different tough backgrounds. Mr. Clark used many different creative, innovative, even CRAZY ways to teach his class. There's a part where he made a deal that he'll drink a small carton of milk every 15 seconds as long as the class kept quiet, and his tactic actually worked because the kids wanted to see him puke! (Eww~)

Here's a sneak-peek of what he did in History class.


Ron Clark also has an academy, called The Ron Clark Academy.
Overall, this is a really inspiring and non-the-less entertaining movie.

2012..A must-see movie

I am officially impressed by this movie, its a good thriller and very touching at some parts.
If I were to watch this movie at home I might have a wet pillow at the end of the movie.
And honestly speaking, I was still feeling shaken up minutes after exiting the theater!


For those who had not watch, if you hear someone say that the movie is nice, believe that person!
I would like to watch it again :)

This is another upcoming movie which I would like to watch, though I don't know what's it about.


Again, I would like to recommend the movie 2012.
I think it would give us a realization on treasuring our time and life, cherishing our loved ones, being kind to others, and living our life to the fullest by doing what is right.
God's will be done!
