Today, I managed to watch the movie 'No Greater Love' from sidereel.
It is a story about a couple who broke up after a nasty quarrel. The wife left her husband and a 10-month old baby. She got into alcohol and drugs and never returned to her husband. Then one day, husband and wife met in church. She looked different. There was a strong desire in her to honor God and obey God's word. He, however, was not a christian and was struggling to follow her ways. Things really got in the way when he was spending so much time at work when he was with her that one day, after a bible study, he shouted at his own son who was then 10 years old. That got him thinking alot and he decided to divorce his wife legally.
However, when he told his friend, his friend scolded him out of love. His friend told him what a fool he was. Everything that had happened was God orchestrating to make him realize that He was in control. That was when his wife moved in with him and returned him the divorce papers which he had signed.
Lessons learnt:
1) Everything that had happened to me is not coincidence. But rather it is God moving things in my life to bring greater glory to Him. Whatever I went through, what I am going through or what I will be going through, He is always there with me. He teaches me to focus and rely on Him. True, things sometimes get so tough that I feel tired. But He never leaves me. I thank Him for that.
2) If I honor God, He will honor me. This lesson seems a bit difficult to write but as I recall from the movie, the wife honors God in whatever she does. She partners with Him in every decision in her life. And God makes things work out for her with her husband. I may not have a husband now but I believe that no matter how old I am, if I honor God, He is able to provide for me a life-time partner, someone who is after God's heart and honor God. Right from the time I attend Watten Connection cell till now, God shows me that He is still concerned with me. He cares for me and is willing to provide for me. All I have to do is to focus on Him, to rely on Him and to honor Him.
3) No greater love than God's love. There is no love that is greater than God's love for me. He sent His only Son to die for me, washed away my sins so that I could be with Him and even provides for me time and again. If He is just another human being, He would have given up on me long ago. But thank God! His love is not ordinary love. It is Agape Love.
Thank you Lord for loving me and accepting me. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Thank you for providing for me. Thank you for showing me such wonderful movies, teaching me more about You. I want to honor You, I want to focus on You, and I want to rely on You. In this life, I have nothing but You. This life belongs to You. Whatever that happens to me Lord, please grant me the strength to go through. I commit myself, this life I have in You, unto Your loving hands. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Law Abiding Citizen
Just watched this show minutes ago. It was a very nice show.
The story was first told of a man with a happy wife and daughter. However, 2 robbers came in to spoil everything that this man has. He was stabbed, his wife was stabbed and raped right in front of his very eyes by one robber and his daughter was killed by that same robber too. Ironically, this robber became a valuable witness and was given 3 years' imprisonment. Instead, his accomplice had to die through lethal poisons. The man became disappointed with the outcomes of this court case and began to have a series of killings by himself.
First on his list was the robber who robbed them. He was supposed to be on lethal poisoning but this man mixed the poison so that this robber died a painful death. Next, he rescued the other robber from prison and began to lure him into a deserted place. He paralysed him by injecting medicines into his body. Then he brought him to one of his properties. There, he began to dissert the robber's limbs one by one. Throughout this ordeal, the robber was able to feel the pain and fear.
Then the prosecutor lawyer was being murdered. He was handcuffed and put into a tunnel with oxygen mask. The police must get to him by 15 minutes or else he would die. But because one of the Justice Department staff did not abide in his timing, it killed the lawyer. Next was the Judge. To the man, the Judge had made a very unfounded outcome, causing the murderer to be out in the open. Slowly, as the show progressed, staff of the Justice Department were killed.
Through all these killings, the man had done it alone. He used his money to buy property that was near the jail so that he could make a tunnel and kill people in a mysterious way. At first, the defending lawyer, Nick thought that he had an accomplice. But later, he found that he was doing all these killings alone. In the end, Nick managed to retrieve the bomb that he placed at the Mayor's office. The man activated the bomb and in the end killed himself.
Morale of the story: It is sad that sometimes, judges make mistakes in judgement and cause so much hurt to the surviving family. Though this is not widely announced in the newspaper, yet I believe many people are being suffered because of the flaw in law. It is like the Government telling the public not to borrow money from loansharks but keeps all doors closed when the poor wants to borrow money to tide over their situations. Very ironical! This movie is really a much thought after one. Thumbs up!

Case 39
Yesterday, I went to watch Case 39 alone. At first, from the trailer, I thought it was about a psychologically ill girl. However, it was not so.
This girl called Lily was being sent to the Children welfare society by the parents. The reason was that the parents found this girl to be very evil. She had inflicted something bad on them whenever they refused to listen to her. At first, Emily, the counselor, thought that it was child abuse. So when the parents wanted to kill the daughter by burning her alive, Emily stepped in. She saved Lily from the fiery fire but another frightening thing happened. In the beginning, Lily gained the sympathy of Emily. So Emily was taken in and began to take in Lily. Things started to turn into nightmare when one of the children whom Emily was counselling killed his parents. It puzzled Emily because this little boy loved his parents very much. Then Emily's boyfriend and close friend died. The cause of death - suicide. But Emily knew it was more than a coincidence after Emily's boyfriend died. So she tried to shake off Lily. But Lily did something to her in the lift that made her change her mind, at least for a moment. Emily knew that she could not do anything to harm Lily, so she approached Lily's parents. According to Lily's parents, Lily would not sleep but once she did, that was when she became powerless. Emily set a trap to burn her own house after she had given Lily sleeping pills. However, Lily knew this action and she survived the fire. Emily became so frightened that she decided to drive the car into the deep sea. There, she tried to trap Lily into the boot. Fortunately, Emily got away with Lily dead in the sea.
When I saw this movie, I found that James Cameron seemed to promote that there was such a thing as cursed child. I rebuke that in Jesus' name. No one is a cursed child. We are washed by the blood of Jesus. We must cut off any generation curses. I do not believe that anyone is borned cursed because of the day and month he is borned. After watching this movie, I really regretted it. The monster that Lily was seemed so much like Satan. Another movie which I believe I will not view is Avatar. It talked about fighting in a planet where human's DNA is used to create Avatar to help fight the war. It is sad that such movies are gaining access to us. When will we realize the dangers it brings us?

Fringe Seasons 1 & 2
Recently, I have been busy watching Fringe. This was actually shown on Channel 5 but I kinda missed it every time. There are only 2 episodes which I managed to view. It is quite a good show I must say.
This show is basically about something out of the ordinary police show. It talks about the different people committing crimes for reasons that seem to be a mystery. Like why there are observers among the people. Each time the investigations will lead to Massive Dynamics. Olivia Dunham has to solve each case and in each episode, she begins to find out more about herself.
Similarly, the other character, Walter has a secret. His son, Peter, was actually dead but he is still on this show. How did he continue living? What pact did he make with the observer? What is the thing that Massive Dynamics are doing? How come people can cross from one dimension to the next? These are the questions that have been in Dunham's mind and also in my mind as I watch the episode.
Hopefully, the answers will be out but I do hope that this show will continue.

The Gospel
Yesterday, I spent the time watching The Gospel.
It was about two men who grew up in church and were going to full time ministry. One of them was the Senior Pastor's son. However, one day, everything changed. The Senior Pastor's wife was ill and was in critical condition. The son prayed to God for miracles to happen. However, the wife still passed on. The son blamed God and his father for spending so much time with others but not his own family.
Years passed and this son became a secular pop singer whereas the other men became a pastor in the same church where he grew up. As the Senior Pastor was getting old and was having prostate cancer, he decided to recommend this man to be the next Senior Pastor. During one board meeting, this man suggested that a new building be built so that more people could come to church and also a new environment. But money was an issue. So the son suggested doing a concert to raise funds and that he could help. As the money poured in, the Senior Pastor became very ill till he died. The son wanted to do more for his father but because he was not the Pastor in the church, he was literally thrown out of meetings by the man. The man, on the other hand, became self-glorified and used the name of God for his own gain. This was finally revealed to him by his wife. As the man sat in his living room thinking what his wife had said, he began to repent. He began to turn his eyes back to God.
At the same time, the son began to look to God again. As he visited the church again, he remembered his times spending in the church. He decided to return to God and re-invited him to his heart.
Sometimes, I feel that we are like the man. We use God's name to glorify our selves. People around us may not know it but we know it ourselves. We can give ourselves excuses but God looks at our heart. No matter what we do, we must never forget the roots. Where we come from and what He has done for us cannot be replaced. May God forever be my focus.

3 movies seen on 16 Aug 2009
Today, I have watched 3 movies, showing Alex Fong and Sheryl Tang and they are all about love.
1) Marriage with a Fool
In this movie, it talked about a Ah Wah & Bo (of course Alex and Sheryl) how they got married. During their first year of marriage, many things happened. Bo was immature, using divorce as a threat to the relationship whenever the couple had quarrels. Ah Wah alway gave in. One day, the relationship turned so bad that Bo wanted quits but pretend to be of good terms in front of her parents-in-law. But paper cannot cover fire. The parents came to know what happened. While Ah Wah was nursing the pain, he went to find his ex-neighbour whom he had lost touch but bumped into each other during his wedding day. There, he had a sexual relationship with this ex-neighbour. In the meantime, Bo met a guy but they had only friendship. Then came a time when Bo changed job to be an airstewardess. What happened to Ah Wah then? Well, his ex-neighbour left him because she found that she was not the one he truly loved. So he wanted to return to his wife. Husband and wife finally patched up. However, they both had a secret keeping from each other. Husband still sent the ex-neighbour messages without the wife's knowledge while wife still sent letters to the man she met when her marriage was at the rocks.
2) L for Love, L for Lies
As the name of this movie suggested, this movie is about how couples lied to each other on the pretext of love. There is a conman, Henry played by Alex Fong. He came to befriend Bo and had a business deal with her. She wanted him to con Kiki, whom she treated as a friend and who stole her boyfriend away from her. Bo believed that Henry would not lie to her even though he was a conman. One day, they had initmate relationship. After that, Bo began to brew soup for him almost everyday. Her friends warned her not to do that because he was a conman afterall. But Bo believed otherwise. Finally, Kiki came to know about the business deal that Bo had with Henry. Kiki wanted Henry to play back at Bo. Henry did and Bo was heartbroken. Soon, Bo's ex-boyfriend returned to Bo and managed to pick up business at his desert shop. Their relationship became better. Actually all these while, Henry was secretly taking revenge for Bo. He set a trap to make Kiki owe lots of money and then he returned the $100 thousand dollars that Bo paid him to con Kiki. He also wanted to turn over a new leaf. However, things are not rosy. His ex-gang friend betrayed him for a kidnapped case. The triad boss sent his men to beat Henry up. Henry was on his way to Bo to express his feelings when this happened. During the fight, Henry was hit on the head by a nail on the wall and his arm was broken by the triad men. With all his strength, Henry walked to see Bo. However, Bo did not notice him. Henry died in the end.
3) Love Is Not All Around
This is yet another movie about lying in love. Da Le played by Alex was a player. He used to like the main actress but the actress had eyes only on Vincent. This was after a few years later. Then he suddenly turned up and the actress began to have mixed feelings. This is because at this point in time, the actress met with another man who is a doctor. He likes her and she also has some feelings for her. One night, both men appeared before the actress and both left without having a night with her. The story then centred around the actress' good friend played by Linda whose husband had an affair. Later, both friends went to a hotel to catch the husband. But instead the actress found that the doctor was holding a lady's hand. She was very sad. Even though he sent her a message, she abruptly told him not to disturb her anymore. As the good friend did not catch the husband, these 2 good friends began to quarrel. They then split up and lost touch. Some months passed. When the good friend met with the actress again, they patched things up and this was when the good friend reminded the actress that certain things must be spoken but not asked. So the good friend decided to find Da Le and expressed her feelings for her. Da Le and this actress then began their relationship. In actual fact, Da Le had been two-timing his girlfriends and whenever the girlfriends met, he would say that the girl was his sister.
Review:
In all these movies, one thing struck out. It seems that in a love relationship, every one is out to cheat each other. They do not seem to really know what to do when catch in a triangular relationship. What's more! They say that they would change but in the end, they are just hiding their true trails. I kinda of wonder whether the director for these movies are just using human's logic to treat relationship or a kind of fantasy that in all relationships, there will tend to be a cheating case. Whatever it is, I seem to keep my distance from such relationship further. If I am in the relationship with someone I love, will that someone betray my trust and cheat on me? In (3), it was said that sometimes what we saw might not be the truth and what we did not see seemed to be the truth. Maybe..... Will I find true love? OR will my love life be an empty white sheet of paper?

School Days Anime
Yesterday, I watched the School Days anime and found some similarities in life.
In the show, the school boy, Maroto was an innocent boy initially. He likes girl whom he also sees in the train while on his way to school. One day, his classmate who sits beside him in class saw the picture he has taken on his handphone and asks whether the girl is someone he likes. According to hearsay, keeping the picture of the person you like in the handphone will make the person yours soon. So this classmate begins to tease him. Then comes a time when this classmate gets to know the girl. They become friends and this classmate begins to introduce this girl to the guy. As both the girl and Maroto like each other, their relationship occurs.
However, Maroto is so innocent that he does not know what to do in a relationship. So he gets the help of this classmate who helps him to practise initimate moments that he should develop with the girl. Things get a bit too intimate that Maroto has sex with this classmate. Even though this classamate keeps saying that the acts are to help him to practise with the girl, yet in actual fact, she is in love with him. Well, though Maroto goes out with the girl, his eyes are with this classmate. Soon, he is torn between this girl and this classmate.
As time passes, Maroto becomes so deeply involved in sexual intercourse that he begins to have sex with almost every girl that he meets at school. This is despite the fact that the girl is his girlfriend. Then one day, he breaks up with this girl to be with the classmate who helps him. Things start to turn nasty. The girl cannot take the blow and becomes mentally ill. She calls him but the line was rejected. However, she keeps talking as if he is on the line with her. Then, one day, the classmate becomes pregnant and asks Maroto what he is going to do about it. Maroto denies that he is responsible and begins to shun this classmate.
As news of the pregnant get around the school, many girls begin to shun Maroto. As Maroto is at a loss of what is going on, he meets the girl again. So he brings her home. At his home, the classmate turns up. She demands Maroto to make a decision but Maroto chooses the girl instead. Heartbroken, she leaves him......with a plan in mind.
One day, the classmate receives a message from Maroto to ask her to abort the baby. This is the last straw that this classmate can take. She visits Maroto and offers to brew tea when Maroto wants to serve her tea. While at the kitchen, she sends Maroto a message. In the message, she writes 'Sorry', followed by many blank lines with an ending 'Goodbye'. When Maroto goes to his room to pick up the phone to read the message, this classmate comes in and stabs him to death. After that, she leaves. Not long after, the girl comes in and finds Maroto dead.
At night, the girl sends a message to the classmate using Maroto's handphone, asking her to meet her at the rooftop of the school. The classmate finds a bag in the bench when she arrives. She has a small confrontation with the girl and when she opens the bag, she finds Maroto's body being chopped. When she turns toward the girl, the girl uses the knife that she uses to kill Maroto to kill the girl and chop her up. After that, the girl carries the bag and goes on a cruise. In the ending episode, she is carrying Maroto's head while sleeping.
In this story, I find something quite similar in life.
1) I remember hearing some people say that onces a guy has sex with a party, he will want to have it more and he does not seem to be able to stop it. Just like Maroto, I believe that this does happen. Especially when Maroto is in the age where everything is curious to him. He cannot control his sexual desires and let it overtake him. Instead of being loyal to his girlfriend, he goes around having sexual encounters with whoever that says she has feelings for him. This ultimately leads to his death.
2) Being unfaithful has its consequences. Of course, not all consequences will lead to death. But we cannot deny the fact that failed relationships due to unfaithfulness can lead to death. News of such things do appear in newspapers and some are just kept in the dark. Some consequences lead to sad stories like having AIDS. So, the morale of the story is to stay faithful.
3) There are many temptations in this world. One of the them is lust for the flesh. That is why there are pronography websites, magazines and movies; all for the sake of satisfying the desires of men. Also, some people think that quick bucks can be earned through these. Whatever it is, we must never forget that God can help us to overcome the temptations in this world. He sent Jesus to be with us, to go through what we go through but without sinning. So Jesus should be our example in life.
Lord, teach me not to be overwhelmed by the temptations of this world. Let lust of the flesh be destroyed in me. Let me not look or think of anyone lustfully but in all that I do, may I give You the glory and honor. As I go into a relationship with a guy, please help us to be faithful with each other and I pray that in times of temptation, we will look up to You for strength. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

As both the girl and Maroto like each other, their relationship occurs.
However, Maroto is so innocent that he does not know what to do in a relationship. So he gets the help of this classmate who helps him to practise initimate moments that he should develop with the girl. Things get a bit too intimate that Maroto has sex with this classmate. Even though this classamate keeps saying that the acts are to help him to practise with the girl, yet in actual fact, she is in love with him. Well, though Maroto goes out with the girl, his eyes are with this classmate. Soon, he is torn between this girl and this classmate.
As time passes, Maroto becomes so deeply involved in sexual intercourse that he begins to have sex with almost every girl that he meets at school. This is despite the fact that the girl is his girlfriend. Then one day, he breaks up with this girl to be with the classmate who helps him. Things start to turn nasty. The girl cannot take the blow and becomes mentally ill. She calls him but the line was rejected. However, she keeps talking as if he is on the line with her. Then, one day, the classmate becomes pregnant and asks Maroto what he is going to do about it. Maroto denies that he is responsible and begins to shun this classmate.
As news of the pregnant get around the school, many girls begin to shun Maroto. As Maroto is at a loss of what is going on, he meets the girl again. So he brings her home. At his home, the classmate turns up. She demands Maroto to make a decision but Maroto chooses the girl instead. Heartbroken, she leaves him......with a plan in mind.
One day, the classmate receives a message from Maroto to ask her to abort the baby. This is the last straw that this classmate can take. She visits Maroto and offers to brew tea when Maroto wants to serve her tea. While at the kitchen, she sends Maroto a message. In the message, she writes 'Sorry', followed by many blank lines with an ending 'Goodbye'. When Maroto goes to his room to pick up the phone to read the message, this classmate comes in and stabs him to death. After that, she leaves. Not long after, the girl comes in and finds Maroto dead.
At night, the girl sends a message to the classmate using Maroto's handphone, asking her to meet her at the rooftop of the school. The classmate finds a bag in the bench when she arrives. She has a small confrontation with the girl and when she opens the bag, she finds Maroto's body being chopped. When she turns toward the girl, the girl uses the knife that she uses to kill Maroto to kill the girl and chop her up. After that, the girl carries the bag and goes on a cruise. In the ending episode, she is carrying Maroto's head while sleeping.
In this story, I find something quite similar in life.
1) I remember hearing some people say that onces a guy has sex with a party, he will want to have it more and he does not seem to be able to stop it. Just like Maroto, I believe that this does happen. Especially when Maroto is in the age where everything is curious to him. He cannot control his sexual desires and let it overtake him. Instead of being loyal to his girlfriend, he goes around having sexual encounters with whoever that says she has feelings for him. This ultimately leads to his death.
2) Being unfaithful has its consequences. Of course, not all consequences will lead to death. But we cannot deny the fact that failed relationships due to unfaithfulness can lead to death. News of such things do appear in newspapers and some are just kept in the dark. Some consequences lead to sad stories like having AIDS. So, the morale of the story is to stay faithful.
3) There are many temptations in this world. One of the them is lust for the flesh. That is why there are pronography websites, magazines and movies; all for the sake of satisfying the desires of men. Also, some people think that quick bucks can be earned through these. Whatever it is, we must never forget that God can help us to overcome the temptations in this world. He sent Jesus to be with us, to go through what we go through but without sinning. So Jesus should be our example in life.
Lord, teach me not to be overwhelmed by the temptations of this world. Let lust of the flesh be destroyed in me. Let me not look or think of anyone lustfully but in all that I do, may I give You the glory and honor. As I go into a relationship with a guy, please help us to be faithful with each other and I pray that in times of temptation, we will look up to You for strength. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
