Looking Through Windows


We should be careful about judging others, as we may be looking through our own “unclean windows.”-LDS


Last Saturday night, my sister Kristine Marie invited us to go to church. Sadly, with all the snoring and turning here and there, I woke up late (although this is not a good excuse ) so I spent  quality time with my son and my husband instead.Later this morning, I read a wonderful message from my sister's blog about Sunday worship and how this made her day more peaceful. Now, while my eyes glued on the monitor encoding grades (and checking my fb once in awhile), I read a wonderful message from my cousin. I suddenly stopped and made a self-reflection. I realized that no matter how busy we may be, His important message will come to us in so many ways. 

Note to myself: Saturday is a special day. It's a day we get ready for Sunday. :)

Let's March this March

graduand is simply a student who has passed all the examinations required for a particular degree (or diploma) and has qualified to graduate. The student becomes a graduate when he or she receives the degree or scroll during the graduation ceremony (or convocation, if you like).

When I graduated in the University, I didn't own anything on the stuffs I wore (except for my undies of course). My dress was from a good friend ate Ella, shoes from my cousin Mitch, earrings and pouch bag were  from my sister. I couldn't even afford to have a graduation portrait. But financial crisis has never become my hindrance. I marched with my head up as I received my scroll. I've told this stories to my former college students many times. And I will tell this over and over again, for there is always someone out there who perseveres to march in March.
