生日快到了，一年过了一年，有些感叹，有些忧虑，有些彷徨，有些喜。。 想想以前的路，想想自己以后会走这么样的路。会担心，会失错。。这句话给我一点点的鼓励。
“自己也许会走冤枉路，但是不要怕，因为或许。。因为这些冤枉路让我们以后走的路会走得更坚强。”
God has a plan for everyone of us!
*translation:
In life, you may not walk in a straight line to your destination. But fret not, because these extra journey may be would make our future walk easier. Nothing is wasted as you gain experiences and wisdom =)
juskawaime always thought Simon Cowel is an item with Paula Abdul. See here
but it seems not so now..
Simon is getting married!!!
juskawaime‘s birthday is near, going to be 1yr older! Oh No!! But aging may not neccesarily bad. Age is just a number. Don’t focus on regrets, do count your blessings, do gain confidence and lets us all age gracefully.

“The message we want to bring to people out there is that life is far from over when you get to your 50s. This is the time to do what you’ve always wanted to do; read more motivational books, join a gym, climb a mountain and travel to places you’ve always dreamed of. Stop worrying about being old and sickly. Every day is a blessing and losing out on making that day a happy one can take years off your life.”
Is there life after 50?

“You know, you’re not a man,” Akio Morita, Sony’s cofounder and former chairman of the board said to one of the firm’s senior female executives over dinner one night.
“Nope, that’s absolutely true,” the woman, a single mother divorced with three children, replied.
“But you’re not a woman.”
“Uh, OK. What am I?”
“You’re in a third category.”
Right, she’s a woman boss.
It was some two decades ago that Barbara Annis, now of Barbara Annis & Associates, a firm that advises blue-chip companies on gender diversity and inclusiveness, had that conversation with the late “god of Sony.” But not a lot has changed in terms of how we view female leaders.
juskawaime is always thankful to the Lord for everything He has done for me and my family.. Thank you Lord for giving life to me.
Love to sing this song. Hope you too. =)
Good morning, Lord Jesus,
Thank You for today.
Thank You for my spirit,
Thank You I can pray.
Good morning, Lord Jesus,
To You I love to sing.
Thank You, Lord, for everything.

juskawaime is not a good christian.. but will hum this hymn occassionally =)
O Lord, I love You,
I really love You,
Without You life’s really nothing.
You are so attracting,
And You are so charming;
Your riches are unsearchable.
Your name’s so dear and sweet,
Calling makes one satisfied,
Now You are mine and I am Thine, Lord;
Joined and mingled with You,
God-man incorporation,
Foretaste of the New Jerusalem.
