Idol

My mind just got blown from reading a (KPOP alert) news about EXO's BaekHyun dating GIRLS GENERATION's Taeyeon. No, I'm not blown by the fact that they're dating but by the fact that both of the band's fans get angry!!

The so called "fans" even made a petition online demanding their precious "idol" - the one who they claimed to be so in love to - BaekHyun to quit from the band.

Sigh.

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE NOWADAYS??

Do you want to know the reason why the fans are so angry?

Let me put the exact words they type here:

"The reason Sones and EXO fans are so disappointed in you is not because you're dating. You two are in your twenties, not every fan would be against you dating. But the actions you showed us.. posts that we thought you uploaded for us to see, nicknames we gave you... To turn it all into secret codes for each other, masking them as messages to your fans. It makes me so sad and angry that you deceived us. Baekhyun, your promise to wait until 35.. You were the first one in EXO to break it. Taeyeon, all of those messages we thought you were sending us, the same messages we laughed and worried over... Do you not see how we feel? You two practically begged to have your relationship recognized and we recognized it and now we're hurt. Is this what you wanted? We heard your voices and were so happy for you..." - article "Fans demand that BaekHyun leaves EXO in online petition"  taken from kpopstarz.com and written by Tamar Herman.

And here's a comment of the article:

"They are upset because they used the nicknames the fans gave them as secret names. Taengoo is Taeyeon's nickname, Baekoong is Baekhyun's nickname. Taeyeon combined them into Taengkoong and revealed it for the first time in an IG post with a pic of fangifts, captioned 'taengkoongberimachi'. Fans, before the revelation, thought it was just Taeyeon's silly way of saying 'Thank you very much'."

And:

"It's hurtful to fans. The fact that they created nicknames that felt precious to the fans and believed was precious to their idol. The nickname was in effect used for showing their love to someone else. It's like having a best friend you love and calling them a nickname and having that best friend call the person who turns out to be their boy/girlfriend the same nickname. It's hurtful and shows that the person doesn't understand how much you care for him/her."

Have you figured out what's so wrong with the world? First of all, if you really like your "idol" then you should have supported him especially when he's dating. Second of all, you must realize that you chose to be the fans, you chose to make him your "idol" and you chose to spend lot of money to buy their stuff (music, merchandise etc) and you chose to fill your thoughts with unnecessary fantasy and delusions - such as regarding yourself as their bestfriend. Hmmmmmpphhh *holdingmylaugh

And the third one is: who on earth do you think you are for having a right to control your "idol"? You should have been proud they're using the nickname you've given to them to call someone they love! Like seriously, do you really think you're that special?? You're special because you're buying their stuff and appreciate their music, but you don't have a right to butt into their personal relationship. And hey, since you've given the nickname to them, anyone can actually use it!!!

I can't believe anyone could call themselves a fan and behaving like this. If you really love them then leave them alone! Wow. I know Koreans are infamous for the sasaeng fans but for losing 180.000 fans just for this case, I have to say, you Koreans are sick people (the sasaeng fans, not the normal ones (: )!!

And this is why you shouldn't "idolize" someone. They can't be your idol! It is so unhealthy. Your God should be your idol, not some kind of entertainer. It's ok to like a music so much that you listen to it a gazillion times but never make them your idol. I think it is such a scary term.

These people, these fans have lost their mind. They're obsessed, they're dangerous and they're annoyingly selfish. How could you even regard yourselves as bestfriend? Gossh I'm so disgusted by the trend that the world is trying to make.

I believe the entertainment industry in Korea also held responsible in creating that kind of fans. To the kpoppers (or just to anyone) out there, becareful. If you're being a fan, don't lose your logic. They're singers and or actors. They're not yours and they will never be yours. Take that to your heart.

Isaiah 44:9 (NKJV)
Those who make an image, all of them are useless, and their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
They neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.

1 Corinthians 10:14 (NKJV)
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

I'm a Christian (Period)

I've been wanting to share about this for quiet some time but as my mind always roams around randomly at the most unpredictable time, I end up forgetting what I want to share or how I'm going to share it. So here's my two cents about being Christian.

I am so sick and tired of being asked, 'What kind of Christian are you?' To me that is one of the most ridiculous question ever. You might think, 'Hey, they just want to know the name of the Church you're going.' But I beg to differ. Most people who ask me don't feel satisfied with my answer, which is a simple name of my church (CLC). After answering that I'm almost always met with confused eyes and wondering faces asking, 'What kind of Christian is that?'

And when I said, 'You know, just Christian.' And they'll be like, 'Ahh, you're a Protestant.' Well I don't mind being called that. What I mind is the fact that some people are more concern about my type of Christianity rather than my being a Christian. Why?

I do understand that some churches can be identified and categorized based on their anointing and focus. I also acknowledge that some churches grow so big that the name of their church becomes a new sect.  And I also understand that different sects will somehow agree to disagree. What I don't understand is the need to let people know their church is the best or the most righteous. It pains me to see that some particular Christians tried to 'steal' other church's members to gain more members in their own church.

Like what Jesus said in Mark 2, He was to call sinners and not the righteous to repentance. We are here as Jesus's disciples to win over souls, not confronting each other.

Another thing that bothers me is the way some members of a church despise other members of a church.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 tells us about all kinds of spiritual gifts and how they're being different but comes from the same Spirit and the same Lord. And I think that is what happening to all the churches in this world. They receive different anointings, they perform varied miracles, they focus on specific spiritual gifts, but it doesn't mean they're from a different God, they're pieces that when gathered become a whole body of Christ.

I'm longing to see people stop focusing on their differences and start looking at the bigger picture of Christianity, the main point of having a calll to follow Christ, and that is love in Christ.

It doesn't matter what church you're going to, or if your spiritual gift is not the same to other churches. It doesn't matter if you're focusing on grace, or on speaking in tongue, or in prayer. What matters is Jesus Himself. His words of wisdom. Whether your church is according to bible.

We need to focus on doing our best for Christ and stop trying to get a good mark for our own spiritual report book. We should have look at other's strength and weakness and combined them with our own to create a better discipleship, a better church and be a better Christian instead of creating yet a new sect.

Being a Christian is not just about having a religion after all. It is a lifestyle, a personal relationship between you and God. It's not about being the most righteous. It's about love and compassion and forgiveness and repentance and acceptance of Jesus and a continuous life-changing process to be more like Him.

So next time you were asked or ask this kind of question from or to someone, think about this first. Are you being a Christ follower? Or have your focus shifted away to something more worldly such as thinking you belong to the best kind of a certain Christian sect?

I'm a Christian (Period)

You MAD!

I should probably posted this on the exact day it happened but I didn't have the chance to post anything since May and I thought maybe I don't have to post anything about it. It's not that big of a deal.

But it is a big deal.

Today My sister and her husband and their baby and I went to Riverview Church (I'm currently in Perth, by the way. I think I'd soon make this blog a travel blog considering the amount of times I'm flying) for the 5PM service. It was my first time going there.

Paul McGee from UK was the preacher of this afternoon service. He is a very smart and funny guy. I found it a bit difficult to keep up with what he was saying because he spoke with British accent (which I love!) but the things that he shared to us was immensely beautiful and I was so touched.

To quote the exact words, he said that to inspire means "to breathe life into something". I never thought about that word. Ever. Until today.

He said there are three main things that you/us (people) should be thankful for in life.

The first one is to be thankful for people who have been with you through the journey of your life. People who got your back, people who are thr reasons why you are who you are today. Don't wait up until it's too late to say thank you to them.

The second one is to be thankful for new chapters in life. So many people stay in their past and are not able to move on to their future because they keep on thinking that God cannot forgive them, they're not worthy of God's grace, their sins and past are so bad they could never be better. And of course people are wrong.

Having new chapters in life is a must. Just as we start a new day every morning, we also start afresh every now and then in our life. So embrace it. Live in the moment. Enjoy your present. Because it's not going to last forever. And it would be the one thing that's going to decide where your future will be.

And for the third and last one, he made everyone on their seat talk to the one beside them, "I'm so thankful for you because you MAD!"

Everyone was half surprised and half laughing and then he said, "You MAD! You Make A Difference. (By then people were like, "Awww" and stuff) So be thankful for yourself because you matter to people, you matter to God and Jesus." (Well I'm paraphrasing what he said I cannot remember the exact words he was saying)

What he said make sense so much. No matter how small the difference, we do make differences to many people's lives without us realizing it but we do! That old lady that you help across the street, or just some random person whose day you've made better without even knowing it!

And to realize that you make a difference means you also realize that you matter to God despite your beliefs and your sex orientation. Because God sees beyond those worldly things.

These stuff that he said moved me to post this blog even though it was been done almost two weeks ago: on Saturday 31 May 2014 I was baptized along with my sister!!

I must admit that I kind of thought it was not a big deal because I've accepted Jesus since I was 19. This baptism to me was a thing that I had to do because you have to be baptized if you're a believer. So even though I was happy, I didn't give it much thought.

But Paul McGee is right. It matters. Being baptized is like one of my two most biggest decions I should ever made. And I just did that less than a month ago! Yay!!! I mean I didn't feel like I was literally died and resurrect as a new person but I know that this is my new chapter. And I'm thankful for it.
I'm thankful for those people who inspired me, those who introduce me to Jesus, those who didn't give up on me when I was at my worst, and those who love me the way I am. I won't be who I am now without all the people I've met and dealt with in my past. And I just want to let you who know me and read my blog know this: you mad man. You do mad. :)

Gb!

The second tv show that I actually finished watching

The first one is FRIENDS.

The second one is How I Met Your Mother.

Now I'm not going to compare (but FRIENDS is the best tv show ever!) them both because they have really good humour and they're both funny. But, I must say this: HIMYM's final episode sucks! Yes, sucks. And no, it's not because of the mother. I happened to like the mother after watching the first episode of the ninth season. She grows on you.

What I really dislike is how this series direct you to a certain expectation about the ending plot and turn it around last minute! It's as easy as Ted's decision to not move to Chicago!!

I mean, please, why would you turned Barney to a sweetest man on earth only to let him divorced Robin three years after?????

That's unacceptable. I seriously would have loved it better if Barney died in the end. Because at least he could die being Robin's husband!

This whole ninth season revolves around Barney and Robin's wedding and the mother, and the plot completely deluded you - and Robin - to believe that Barney is able to love and settle down. But then BAM! Here goes the last two episodes and all those sweet stuff turn into bunch of craploads.

I totally don't get why Ted and Robin ended up being together, I really don't. And that's the solid reason why you should never gave me (and other disappointed shippers) any hope that they're (as in Barney and Robin) gonna be together whereas they weren't!!!!

It's funny how the show called How I Met Your Mother instead of How I Convinced My ChildrenSo I Can Be Married Again. I mean the title itself should have given you enough insight about the core of the story. And they have done everything so right - even though a little bit draggy, but still funny and full of morals - until the last two episodes.

As a matter of fact at the end of season 8 I was so disappointed to see how the mother looks like. Because I thought she doesn't have what it takes to go against Robin. But after watching several episodes of season 9 I started to see she's actually better for Ted than Robin. And throughout the story I grew more and more fond of this girl. She's so funny, wise, sweet and smart. Nevertheless, when the show played out the scene where the old Ted stole the blue french horn (again) to declare his undying love for Robin (again) in the end, I somehow feel that the mother is less important to Ted. At least not as important as Robin is to him. And I believe many people will agree with me on this. So What UP producers and writers of HIMYM??

Like what Robin said when she was faced to her colleague whom she didn't like, "Damn it, Patrice!!!"

Sigh.

I guess sometimes things don't go my way. Especially when it is the thing that I want to happen the most. Like Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
