Korea girls trip - reflection

This was my first overseas girls' trip, and we chose Korea as our destination. Along the way, I had some personal reflections that helped me discover more about myself.

1. Adaptability
At first, I felt a little uncomfortable sharing a room and sleeping in close quarters with strangers, even though we were all women. Each of us had different sleeping habits, but thankfully, I was able to adapt quickly and slept well throughout the trip.

2. Dare to Be Different
Most of the girls had insecurities about their appearance and decided to undergo beauty treatments, but I stood firm in my belief in natural beauty. I’ve always believed that each person is uniquely created by God, and there’s nothing wrong with having flaws. True beauty isn’t just skin deep; it comes from within. Even though my face may not be "perfect," I embrace my individuality, knowing that I am a limited edition created by God.

3. Self-Mastery and Self-Control
The girls indulged in shopping sprees, and while it was tempting—especially with skincare, fashion, and souvenirs at such affordable prices—I knew myself. My skin is sensitive, so I didn’t want to experiment with unfamiliar products. I also prefer clothes that are comfortable and timeless, rather than following fast-moving trends. When it came to snacks, I bought just enough to share with family and friends, being mindful of what I consume.

4. Putting God First
Even though we were on holiday, I was grateful to have the opportunity to wake up early, spend quiet time with God, and pray the rosary each morning. Despite the temptation of shopping and the distractions around me, I had the courage to attend Mass alone. That was a special moment of peace and reflection for me.

Overall, this trip was a beautiful blend of "me-time" and "girls' time," and I learned a lot about my strengths, values, and personal growth.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving.

It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
