The Hanging Tree
In love with this song and.. I literally can't stop singing to it
these days.
(Pardon my bad voice).
Anyway, here is the lyrics:
Jennifer Lawrence
"The Hanging Tree" lyrics
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Never Judge Someone for What They Do
Hello, peeps!
Thank you for coming to my blog again.
So I just woke up at about 8 this morning
and suddenly an idea came up. And I just made this story. Hope we all learn
something from this story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A 9-year-old girl was scowling all day,
feeling angry as she was looking at an old and worn out pink bunny doll sitting
on her bed.
“Why are you keep scowling all day, honey?”
asked her mom.
“Mom, how can Tiara just gave me this on my
birthday? It’s an ugly doll. I hate her!”
“Don’t look at things at the price tags,
honey.” said her mom.
“Mom, I don’t mean that I want an expensive
or big doll. I mean it is okay if she just gave me a small something that’s
cheap, let’s say. But at least I know that she appreciates me, that she deliberately
bought me something as a birthday gift. Don’t you remember, mom? At her last
birthday I even saved my money just to give her a big teddy bear that she likes.
But look at what she did in return to me. I just feel so sad, I feel like she
doesn’t think that I’m special like how I presume her as my best friend.” Elle was babbling.
“Calm down, honey. Maybe she has some
reasons.”
“What kind of reasons? I don’t care
anymore.”
Then Elle’s mom went out of her daughter’s
room.
The day after, (as Elle’s mom is Tiara’s
mom best friend so she used to go to Tiara’s house) she decided to go to Tiara’s
house.
After she arrived, she was so shocked that
there’s no house there anymore. She thought like “Am I wrong? No, I mustn’t be
wrong. But where’s the house?” she said to herself.
And then she asked some people and finally
found out the truth.
After coming back home, Elle’s mom came to
Elle’s room.
“Elle.”
“Ya, mom?”
“I just went to Tiara’s house and...”
“Stop, mom! I don’t want to hear about her
again.”
“Wait, baby. I’m sure you wanna hear this.”
“Well, be quick.”
“You know what? I went to that place and I
found no house there again. And..”
“What do you mean mom?” Elle interrupted.
“And I asked her neighbors. They said that
her house was on fire 2 days ago. And they lost everything. Everything except
the fact that Tiara got something she was holding on her hand. It was her
favorite thing since she was a small kid, and you know what it is? It’s the
doll that she gave to you on your birthday. That pink bunny doll.” Elle’s mom
pointed to the doll.
Elle began crying.
“Mom, I feel so wrong now. I really feel
that I’m a very bad person. I don’t even know what happened to my best friend.
I don’t even asked her why her face looks sad nowadays. And I just remember the
last time I met her, when she gave me this, she gave this to me but she didn’t
even look at this doll. Now I realize that she must be sad that she has to lose
the thing that she loves the most.”
“But she loves her best friend more than
her favorite doll.”
“And I selfishly thought that she doesn’t
care about me anymore that she gave me just an old doll.”
Elle just couldn’t stop crying that day.
Moral
of the story:
"Never
judge someone for what they do to you. You don’t know maybe it is the best
thing that they can do.”
Anyway, I was crying while
writing this story. And still crying until now that I just typed this finishing
sentences. Haha :”)

Lessons from 'Interstellar' Movie
Interstellar is a great movie for many people. But I think, I have my own perception.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I gain some lessons from the movie: (not in the right order of the storyline)
1. First, when Murph said “Because my dad promised."
I was kind of crying while watching that scene, because my conscience said to me suddenly: “Because He promised.”
♥ We have to believe that God has promised to us something. When we have faith in Him, something we believe will just happen.
2. Second, although Cooper and Murph were apart, Cooper always thought about his daughter. Whatever he did there, the purpose was for his children's goodness, to save them and other people on Earth.
♥ It’s like how God may not be with us physically, but there in Heaven, He always loves, He does everything for our best.
3. Cooper finally came back to Murph.
♥ God never breaks His promises.
4. Cooper came at the last times of Murph’s life
♥ God may be not too early, but He is never late.
5. Murph conscience said that it was like a ghost that tells something.
♥ When we have good connection with God, we will know Him and His plan to our life better. Our inner become one with God’s.
6. Murph believe had to try hard to decode the Morse Code.
Imagine if Murph didn’t listen her conscience, she even got lazy to decode the Morse code, as it happened at the last time she had to leave her house, her brother already called her name for several times (at her hard times).
♥ No matter how God promised us something, if we don’t have good connection with Him, if we don’t know our potential and if we are lazy, not making efforts for something we want to reach, we will get nothing.
Success = Faith + Work
" A plan is just a plan until you do some efforts and pray. Trusting God that He has the right to either make it work, or if there is something greater He has prepared for you."#EAYwords

Struggles of Our Life
Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life
was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was
tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem
was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the
kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.
Once the three pots
began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground
coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a
word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering
what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the
potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and
placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.
Turning to her, he
asked. “Daughter, what do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she hastily
replied.
“Look closer”, he
said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft.
He then asked her to
take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the
hard-boiled egg.
Finally, he asked
her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does
this mean?” she asked.
He then explained
that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same
adversity-the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato
went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and
weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid
interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg
became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were
exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
“Which one are you?”
he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When struggles come in your life, you can either:
1.
Be weaker
2.
Have hardened heart, or
3.
Let the problems make you go out from your comfort zone, but
then you create something much more greater. You take problems as advantages
cause you believe there will be joy after sorrow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Moral: In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it and what you make out of it. Life is all about leaning, adopting and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive.

Happy Saturday, peeps!
Got bored and nothing to

place. You have a great capacity to love people until they hurt you. But
even after they do.. you keep loving. Very few people can appreciate everything
you do as well as you deserve.

You are a fun person who knows how to
make people laugh. You live in a state of harmony with the universe. You are
spontaneous and enthusiastic. You never say no to an adventure. Often, you end

remain true to yourself. You have many interests and if something proves of
interest to you, you will not rest until you acquire a profound knowledge of
this area.
Tree 9. Full of optimism and lucky.
Do you believe that life – it is a gift,
and you’re trying to do as much as possible and use as many as possible of what
you have been given. You are immensely proud of what have made in life. With
those you love, are willing to share all the joys and sorrows. You have a very
healthy outlook on life. You can see that the glass (at least) half full. You
are using every opportunity to forgive, learn and grow. Life is too short to do
anything else.
Anyway, I'm tree number 7. How about you? ♥
