Secret to have healthy life - be happy!

It's not always about medications, doctors, eating what is right, doing what is right. Happiness is the key to have less stressful life. Spend time with friends and family. And PRAY. Pray because we should thank God that He allows us to wake up every morning and always gives us unlimited chances to enjoy and appreciate His blessings. Whatever problems, illness, disease, painful symptoms you're experiencing right now.. just hold on, never give up. Remember let us be thankful that we can still feel pain because pain reminds us that we are alive.. that we are humans. Always look on the brighter side of everything. Life is not perfect but it is in our hands on how we can spend our life meaningful. 

HAVE A NICE AND MEANINGFUL DAY MY FELLOW FIGHTERS. :)

Who says we can't? (Part 1)

Lupus fighters are also normal people that can do normal things. We can travel the world, we have the ability to enjoy. As much as possible we need to avoid stress in our daily routine. Let me tell a story about our adventure in Hongkong and China. 

Last November 2012, we have set our flight on January 21-24, 2013 then after few days, we avail a tour package which includes Hongkong city tour, Hongkong Disneyland and stay in Shenzhen China with city tour as well. 

Before travelling, it is very important to do research --- the weather, culture, food, places to go, etc etc. January is still winter time for Hongkong so we packed clothes which are suitable for the weather. And we have brought foods too! :) ohhh. A trolley bag is a must! 

I love riding on airplanes! :))) Ready for takeoff! *My favorite part *

From the ground then the sky high! Clouds are <3

Ate Joy (my co-worker, sister from another mother, friend). It's her first time to ride in an airplane. She's very excited.

Thank you to AirAsia. :) 

When travelling internationally, come at least 2 hours before your departure time. Ballpen is very important too because you will fill up forms that are needed for the Immigration. Be sure that your passport is with you. Travelling with a tour package is better since the people in immigration will ask you when will you come back. They will also ask where you will stay and your ticket going back to your own country.

Symbol of Hope

I was amazed with this big orange and black butterfly that stayed first in our garden then was shocked when the butterfly was already in our door. Few days ago, I also saw a big butterfly somewhere. I don't know the meaning of this but it brought happiness inside me because it is very rare that a huge butterfly will show. 

BUTTERFLY ---- symbol of hope for Lupus patients. :)

Insecurities

Why do some people never get tired of hating someone. And I wonder how can they survive in everyday life that they don't want their companions. And yet they don't confront them what they don't like. When asked, they will say "No, there's no problem." But their actions show that they are not happy with the group. Worst thing about it is that they keep on telling other people about it.. about the bad things they're thinking. Do not seek for attention in that way. You'll never achieve happiness with what you're doing. You can never be happy if you're focusing on others' fault. One more thing, do not let 'crab mentality' flow into yourself. 

"If your brother sins against you, go and confront him while the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. - Matthew 18:15 (International Standard Version, 2008)

Questions

Someone asked me, “When you hear his name what comes into your mind?” I answered HAPPINESS. He is my happiness in times of sadness, my cure when I feel sick, my strength in times of weakness and of course my love. I tried to protect him because I don’t want him to be involved in my work so this is very unusual that I published something like this. A lupus fighter like me may be an emotional but I’m very much sure of my feelings. I’m deeply in love with the person I met when I was in second year of my college life. We were both silent type of person but as we’ve known each other, there are many discoveries and unrevealed things about ourselves. I considered them as our secrets. It is fun to know him day by day. In every relationship, bad things do happen and no matter how bad it is, we know how to solve them. When can you really know if he is the one? Are there signs? I don’t know. If lupus has no cure, until when can I spend happiness with the one I love? But I do believe that God loves me that He let me feel this kind of feeling – the feeling of being loved and the feeling of being hurt. As I said before, pain reminds me that I’m still alive. There is no reason for giving up. I will live life to the fullest, inspire many people as long as I can so that in the end, I’ll have no regrets. Love is like lupus. There is no cure for it. You have just to believe that there will be always a positive result in every medicine you take. And finding a cure for it is like patiently waiting for one true love. It may not happen now but who knows – maybe tomorrow.

Heroine of Happiness

You can achieve HAPPINESS if you'll learn how to appreciate what you have. If you're looking for the right way on how to be happy - you just need to set your mind that you deserve to be happy. Refuse to entertain any negative thoughts in your life. Keep in mind that you are the director of your own life.

ANGEL in DISGUISE :)

 

 Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others. Forgive everyone for everything no matter how hard it may be. Remember fellow fighters hating someone is not good for your health. It may only give you STRESS which can lead to flare ups. STAY HAPPY and BEAUTIFUL!
