300,000 miles!
Yes, my 20 year old Honda Civic has just reached the 300,000 miles mark! Can't believe this car is still running since my high school days! It has been lost(stolen) and found again! And it just won't die! How awesome is that?
When I was in High School, I actually dreamed of having a VW Rabbit convertible. I actually wanted a brown color car. I knew it wasn't possible because mom and dad were going thru financial trouble, but I dreamed it anyways. Amazingly Honda sold this cheap car that we can afford, it's gold on the outside, but happens to be brown on the inside. It was one of these rare love at first sight kinda thing. It wasn't a convertible, but oh well. For sure it's a better handling and longer lasting car than the VW. And few years down the road, I do end up owning a convertible that is much much better! ;)
I wasn't really a Christian back in High School, but Somebody up there must've really love me in order to help my dream come true in a better way! Praise the Lord!!! :)
Anyway, besides the good story, one disturbing piece of news is that using the EMF detector I recently bought, it turns out that our house can feel some effect the EMF field generated by the powerlines a block away!!! Actual health risks are still unknown, some are saying it's BAD BAD BAD, but others are saying it's perfectly safe. So everything's pretty inconclusive...not sure which side to believe... I'm currently reading a book called 'cross currents' in order to have a better understanding of effects of EMF on human bodies...
We also have to own this house for 3 years or else we have to pay the government back the tax credit we receive...
Oh well, we did pray to God about this house... if it's really that bad for us, He should've just not let us get it! Right God? I have to believe that God is reserving the best for us, but I have to admit that doubts are creeping in...
But today's reading, God said thru Isa 27:3
"I, the LORD, watch over it;
I water it continually.
I guard it day and night
so that no one may harm it. "
Okay. Whatever You say LORD! ;)
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever!

Baby worship extended !!!!! This shocked me honestly. twitter.com/rosiec...
Wonder if she's really worshiping God or just mimicking some of the adults in the congregation. Regardless, it's pretty cute! ;)

Back to America!
Just came back from a 2 week Taiwanese vacation. It had been very restful and relaxing, but sure gained a lot of weight!!!! 10 lbs to be exact! I usually eat only 2 meals a day, but in Taiwan, we do nothing and yet eat 3 big meals a day, I suppose it's only natural to get fat! :D Thank God that I'm steadily dropping my weight day by day...
Anyway, we were also very lucky during our visit. It's nice that we missed the typhoons. There was a big one before we arrived and another big one hitting Taiwan after we left. The heat we experienced was kinda unbearable while we were there, but I suppose it's better than spending our vacation with a typhoon! Anyway, may God have mercy on Taiwan. Feel really bad for the people suffering because of these huge typhoons!!!
Another thing to be thankful for was that we prayed for healing of grandma and hopefully she can be well enough to eat out with us... well, she didn't get well enough to eat out with us, but we were able to see grandma walking about around the house! So that was pretty cool! Hope she'll be her full 100% next time we go back!
Anyway, for the sake of fun, I guess I'll rank the top 3 food that I enjoyed the most from this trip:
1) The stinky tofu!
2) The pig feet!
3)This meal purchased from the side of the freeway was pretty tasty too!
The other honorable mentions are mom's minced pork sauce that goes on top of the rice! Hmm... amazingly delicious. China airline tried to do the same but failed miserably! ;)
The other honorable mention is this NT$25 egg cake with cabbages we found by accident!
Not sure what's up, but it seems I enjoy these relative cheap 'little eats' more than some of the more expensive stuffs. These are what makes Taiwan great I think! ;)
Finally, on a more serious note... I'm hoping that I can introduce the gospel to my uncle. Trying to have email exchanges thru my cousin, may God help us make this endeavor successful! Hopefully my cousin can be converted too! Fingers cross! ;)
Isa 12:4
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.

My latest creation...
Company potluck yesterday and we had a lot of left over eggs in the frige so I've decided to try to make a frittata. First tasted one from Europane Bakery. Been wanting to try to make one but never got around to it. I planned on making fried rice for potluck but turned out couple of other co-workers have decided to make fry rice... so I guess I'll finally make a frittata! ;)
It looks prettier than the crab cake I made, but it didn't quite taste as good as the ones from Europane though... needs more seasonings I think. Regardless, at least it also tasted better than the crab cake too! ;)
Pot luck organizer also handed out awards to encourage us too... my friend Daniel has been winning twice in a row!!! Oh well, if God is willing and if I practice and improve, surely someday I'll win that certificate and the wooden spoon award! ;)
Oh, and wife's friend A-kiang is staying with us... perfect timing so that she can take care of the cats while we're visiting Taiwan! She had stayed with us nearly 3 years ago and was kinda suffering from depression... hopefully she's feeling better now...
Yesterday devotion was psalm 88. It's an amazingly depressing psalm... King David's Psalms could have horrible or hopeless beginnings, but they'll usually end with something uplifting..., but nope, not Psalm 88! What would be the purpose of Psalm 88?
Well, hopefully when the entire congregation back in the time of Israel sing that Psalm, they'll be able to sympathize with people who are suffering from depression better?
Anyway, hopefully we can give A-kiang some positive impacts while she's here with us...

So much to do with so little time...
Sigh...
Work is getting a bit crazy lately. But it's still good to be able to make some extra money in such lousy economy I guess. Today I actually totally over slept... was really sleeping like a baby this morning until wife woke me up! ;) Guess it's because of the sudden cold weather recently... just doesn't feel warm enough to wake up yet. I do love sleep, but sometimes wish that we don't have to sleep. That way we can have ourselves some extra time!!!
What would I do with the extra time though? Probably playing video games! ;)
Anyway, may God help me manage my time wisely... and help me practice to be good enough to work thru whatever I need to get done efficiently... and of course, after I become just so amazingly good, may God also help me not to forget about Him. Don't want to be like King Asa, faithful initially and then prideful later on in his years...
I also need to learn to be more focus and not spread myself too thin on whatever it is that I do. Over the weekend, I think I was a bit over ambitious with cooking. Watching too much Korean cooking drama I guess... really need to just focus on doing one thing well at a time... over ambitious or pride, like the Bible said, will usually come before a fall.
The main 'fall' was the crab cake I was trying to make. I suppose it tasted okay, but it just looks weird. One of them actual broke in half... and they looks like some sort of Chinese food actually. ;)
