A Signature Story!

What is your signature story? Everyone has many stories, however everyone has only one signature story. No one else can tell your signature story the way you do. It is like your writing signature, only you can sign your name that way. The best counterfeiters cannot perfectly duplicate your signature.

Here is a impeccable of my signature story. I used to write anything on the wall that my parents got angry often. I read newspapers, magazines, storybooks and bible story books when I was 7 years old. I learned to cook anything but not those difficult dishes during my elementary years. I watched MTVs and sang a lot of songs early in the morning and my father usually shouted at me because I was too noisy. I massaged my grandmother, father and my aunt often at nighttime. (LOL!..that's why I am good at massaging people). And the most unique story to tell: I daydream a lot. That includes the inverted life I wished, hoped and wanted to have but couldn't have because I am not living in a fantasy world.   

I have met people that perpetuate a story that is not their signature story in their lives and just cannot do what they must do to be happy. Everyone has a story. Get in touch with your real story that shows you can do anything you put your heart and soul to!

The truth sets everyone free to move on with love in their hearts. VERITAS is truth in Latin.

Your real signature story is your life's motivation to do anything you want to do. First you must get in touch with your real story and that should propel you to do bold deeds. Remember everyone has many stories. However everyone only has one signature story. Now are you ready for my real signature story?

My parents were separated. I have 2 twin older sisters and 2 younger brothers. I am staying in my Aunt this time because their house is nearest to the workplace I am working with. I haven't had the happiest childhood days though I can choose some of the memories. I have been to a lot of places but it is not enough because personally, I am a traveler on the other side of my life. My dream is to be a famous writer like Nicholas Sparks, Stephanie Meyer and all. My parents and family trust me a lot because they see me as the most hardworking person in our family, not to mention I am 2nd to my Aunt (in which, indeed, she helped my sisters to finish schooling). My sisters don't have a  good job this time (I don't know why but I think they are still dependent on my family). I had been to a lot of relationships but I guess I haven't found my TRUE LOVE yet. I will pursue my dream to finish my Masteral and Doctoral Degree in Singapore. I don't believe I am beautiful because I know, no one can define beauty well if I, personally don't agree with this.

I tell you this story because you have within you a signature story of accomplishment. Now you must get in touch with the toughest mountain you have ever climbed because if you did it once, you can do it again, and again. No more excuses.

This is my real story and I am sticking with it! I am working in the most terrible company but am enjoying because of the people I am working with. I fall in love with someone but I am committed (I guess!) to someone and we are not totally separated. (Sorry but I know for sure I am totally over him). Did I mention to you that I eat rocky road ice cream? Read books in general? Love to go to Europe? Dream to wear European clothes? Want to have a fairy-tale love and happy-endings story?  And do crazy things most of the time.

And.. the worst personality but the best feeling if you know me?

I love TRULY and I give my all - The best things you see in me - are the best part you will love and fall in love - in me.

Deep Realization - Paradigm Shift

GRUNT-SNIFF-HURRAY!

So many things we take for granted,

Grumbling becoming our everyday portion,

And we GRUNT! GRUNT!

As dissatisfaction pulls its disgusting cords,

And entangles us,

As we GRUNT! GRUNT!,

Selfishness leading us to destruction.

Succeed we may,

Though GRUNT! GRUNT!

But people’s heads - our ladder,

As we GRUNT! GRUNT! along,

And only realize when it’s too late,

And pause our GRUNT! GRUNT!

That time to do what matters is gone,

FOREVER.

And this time SNIFF! SNIIIFF!

No more GRUNT! GRUNT!



In a moment of deep realization,

As you SNIFF! SNIFF!

And you peer through,

As you SNIFF! SNIFF!

A paradigm shift from this rubble of self,

And in a moment

All is still...

Like a prisoner who has taken his freedom for granted,

HURRAY! HURRAY!

MOVE! - No RUN! Oh yes FLY! or HALF-RUN, HALF-FLY!

Home, where you belong.

And HURRAY! HURRAY!

Embrace freedom,

And HURRAY! HURRAY!

Start Livin.

One Page At A Time

I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it. This habit annoyed first my cousins (because we have the same hobby, reading), then my friends, and finally even my own boyfriend. Often my impatience wouldn’t be confined just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well. Finally one day my boyfriend told me in exasperation, "Shy please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!"

At times I haven’t limited this bad habit to just books either. I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to do months and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended. I knew that the book of my life wasn’t done yet and that I had many pages left to go. Still, that didn’t stop me from trying to write the ending half-way through. Time and again, I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every conceivable problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending. Life, however, doesn’t work like that. God loves to surprise us, and you never know what new problem, change, or opportunity each new day will bring.

God in His loving wisdom has often had to remind me to relax, slow down and find His love and joy in each day. Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again, I found His truth coming from the lips of a special soul who gently told me I needed to "live one day at a time." When I heard those words I smiled, turned the book of my life back to the right page, and thanked God for today.

There is no skipping ahead in the book of life. Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time. Each of us has to have faith in God to help us to write it line by line and moment by moment. Each of us has to trust that our Heavenly Father will bring our story to its perfect end.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust":
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

With Justin (Min Woong Kim)
