The Inspiring Joshua Becker

There are a lot of inspiring people out there. People who we can learn from. One of them that i found particularly encouraging and inspiring is Joshua Becker. Joshua Becker and his young family of four live in Peoria, AZ. They are just your typical middle-class, suburban family... minus the dog and relentless pursuit of physical possessions.

 He is inspiring as he is a firm believer of being a minimalist and finding simplicity in life. We are so caught up in a society that thrives on material possessions. People worked so hard to earn money to pay for bigger house, bigger car and the latest gadgets, thinking that possessing all that material belongings will make us happier and content. 

 Theodore Roosevelt once remarked, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” He was, of course, absolutely right. As we begin comparing our lives and possessions to those around us who have more, we lose joy, contentment, and happiness.

 We lived in a materialistic society. People judged you based on your material possessions. The more you own, the higher they think of you. So we spend more to impress people we don't even like. And this spending is endless. It will never be enough. You have a big car, sooner or later, you'll want a bigger one. 

“Wanting less is a better blessing than having more.” —Mary Ellen Edmunds

 Owning and wanting less brings great benefit to our lives: less stress, less debt, more time, more freedom. 

 A wise man once said "Don't spend your money on material possessions. Spend it on experiences and memories. Those are the things that others cannot take from you and you'll bring it with you forever."

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

CPPS Shemale?

Shemale ke?? Nothing related. Just that I like this pic and how I picture myself when looking at my phone. Walaupun CPPS jarang ngepost cerita pasal Tinder, tak semestinya CPPS tak main Tinder lagi. Sesekali bila bosan, iols swipe-swipe la jugak kiri kanan kan. Saje bagi jari-jemari lemah gemalai ni bersenam sikit. Kekadang tu saje la kan nak networking. Tapi setakat tu je la kan. Sebab up to a certain point, Tinder ni bosan jugak. You have to put up with a lot of small talks, shallow conversations and jerks who think with their dicks. So biasanya bila uols sama-sama swipe right tu, maka uols dah connected and boleh lah mula mengejas. Biasanya si jantan akan text "Hey" Lepas tu uols pun reply "Hey. How are you?" Lepas tu krik-krik 2-3 bulan. Ataupun "Hey" "Hey. How are you?" "Good good. And you" "Great. What do you do for a living" dah macam interview keje kan. Ada satu soalan ni ULTIMATE TIN...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...

Footprints In The Sand

This is my favourite story of Jesus One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.  Other times there were one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life  When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,  I could see only one set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,  That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life  There have only been one set of prints in the sand.  Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,  "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you." When times are tough, when you feel so lonely and ho...
