I PROMISE TO SEEK HIM FIRST! - Call-Me-Miz-M's New Year Resolution!!!

Everything is renew in CHIRST! JOEL OSTEEN

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me." (Psalms 51:10)

With the new year comes fresh starts, resolutions, and new beginnings. It is a time of making plans, setting goals, and writing visions. But the greatest "new start" of all comes through Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 5:17 says: "Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; the old has passed away, behold the new has come."If you need a new beginning this year, in any area of your life, allow Christ to make you a new creation and the old will pass away! He will put a new and right spirit within you when you call upon His name! This year, make your relationship with Him your number one priority. As you develop an intimacy with Him through daily prayer and the study of His Word, you will experience the joy of newness of life!

A Prayer for Today
God, this is the year I put You first. I want to start with a clean slate and begin anew as I develop a deeper personal relationship with You. Thank you for sending Your Son who gave His life so I could have a new beginning.

Sydney enjoyed fireworks displays tonight to mark New Year's Eve on Sydney Harbour.

More than a million people gathered around the harbour as the family fireworks display filled the skies for 10 minutes. It was really great, I loved the colors and the lasers coming off the bridge and children dressed up for the family show, whose theme was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The $4 million New Year's Eve festivities, which have been dubbed a Diamond Night in the Emerald City, also commemorate the Harbour Bridge, which celebrates its 75th birthday in March 2007.

In her New Year's Eve message, Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the Harbour Bridge symbolized extending the hand of friendship to others at home or to other parts of the world.

Counting down the end of 2006............10, 9, 8, 7, ......

AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW it started at 10A this morning.....an entire AUNTIE and her NIECE DAY!!!!! A SUPER FUN EXPERIENCE.......!!!!

My niece got to eat (almost LOL!) all the junk food she had secretly craved ....he..he...NO PARENTS around.....he..he...it started with a small blueberry Slurpee from 7- Eleven all the way to McNuggets, fries, and a sundae from McDonalds, 4 sour apple chewing gums, sodas, and yes M'sian satays...he...he......yes...yes....I was being a teribble auntie who provided my sweet-little-junk-food-deprived niece...with all those junk bad-y yucky stuff....just for a day tho'......!!!!

We walked around so much our little feetsies were givin' out on us, she did the wall climbing at Darling Walk and a pirate ship ride...LMAO and also the city rail was not in service so we had to hop in and out the bus instead......we ended up in Chatswood and caught a ride home w/ her daddy....!!

Whatever...TALK to the hand cuz the face ain't listening!!!

He..he…I knew it was gonna be a catchy post….I got some questions about the last post w/ the American flag…actually my babe is the one who suggested it…cuz…even tho’ Sydney is a definitely kewl place but the people here aren’t oh so nicey-nice to Americans …(sorry guys I try not to stereotype but yawl gotta admit there is some truth in this this statement) but TRUTHFULLY they ain't as bad as the Frenchies/Germans....several times already we met people who wanted us to talk s**t about Pres. G. Bush…and when we refused to do so, automatically we were considered “Bush Supporters”…even when we already stated to ‘em that ANY President will surely have both positive and negative impacts for that country he/she leads.....besides ain't we all have a right to refuse to give/hear political comments????...so yeah...whateeeever!!!

This is one of the many “moronic” episodes we encountered:

Miz-so-n-so: America has such TERRIBLE education systems……
My Babe: ??? HUH?? What’daya mean by that statement?????????
Miz-so-n-so: My cousin was going to the U here and she was having such a hard time, including getting her CPA blah..blah..blah so she decided to go to the States instead and it was soooo easy there…..she got her CPA right away….
My Babe: Ooooh I-C….so the education system of our country (USA) is SOLELY based on the opinion/ability of your cousin….????????
Call-Me-Miz-M ('of courze gotta give her opinion): Geez…yeah whateeeever!!!!…it depends on what universities you are talking about you MORON!!!!….yes, there are some easy and definitely "questionable" Unis…where I know fo’sho a “someone” who happened to graduate from that “questionable” U with a Bachelor Degree that is currently still having a hard time putting together sentences to convey a message ;)….but then we also found out later that the U she attended was on the basement of some kind of Shopping Mall….so yeah that sorta explained her inabilities....but NOT all universities in the whole entire United States have low academic standards, GOT IT????

Geez…what an insult to Princeton, Stanford…Harvard, Rice, etc..etc...or even Georgia Tech…..LOL!!!

Like my Ex-the drummer used to say…ehmmmm guys (Aussies, Britons, Frenchies, Germans…and ALL others who have the tendency to DISLIKE the United States)….Internet? oh you're soooh welcome….GPS System? You're welcome also! Ungrateful &$*#&$#*!!!!

Another good one, we were buying a ticket for the City Rail:



My Babe: Can we have 2 one-way tickets to the Chatswood please….
The Rail Attendant (giving us a condescending look): Uhhh we don’t say that here….we said “SINGLE” ticket….
Call-Me-Miz-M: Geez not the “Single” ticket terminology again (I had the same incident on my first visit over a year ago..LMAO)…listen here buddy…you perfectly understood what he meant…just give us the “darn” tickets…K?????

On another trip:

My Babe: Two – roundtrip tickets please to downtown Sydney…
The Rail Attendant: (Blank look) you mean “RETURN” tickets to the CITY?!!!!
Me: WHATEVER!!!! (Rolling my eyes)

On the Railway….daintily written: “Please Mind the Gap” instead of “Please Watch Your Steps” sure I will “mind” it…no problem…LMAO…this one is kinda cute actually.

Walking around Darling Harbour….a huge sign said: "Children THONGS for $5"….HUH???? LMAO ooooh it turned out that it meant for flip-flop sandals….LOL...ROFL - SUPER CUTE!!!

Another thingy….we were walking in to this Café….for a cuppa coffee…apparently we gotta use another entrance but there was no sign on the sliding glass door that said: Please Use the Other Door...so like some idiots (LOL) we stood in front of the door..waiting for the door to slide open ..meanwhile a group of young folks were sitting down right there…watching us making a fool of ourselves.…we were likeeee…yeah..yeah.. we know you didn't have to tell us that this door wouldn't open BUT it would be “NICE” to do so….a simple “use the other door” would suffice….WHATEVER!!!!!

The Pledge of Allegiance

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Pangs of melancholy

Miles and miles back home…..it is officially Winter there!! I don't really mizz the extremely cold weather tho' - the weather here is pretty darn mild...kinda San Francisco-y!

--------------------
Happy Birthday Dad (Dec 26th) even though you are no longer with us here but you still very much alive in each of our heart…….. !!!!
---------------------

My babe is getting by pretty relax w/ anyone n' everyone as expected LOL!!!!….that’s why I luv him much! I know fo'sho the characters of a person who would be compatible w/ me….I absolutely can’t never – never – never be w/ someone who is moody (mood swings)…grumpy-grump….who fusses over ‘lil stuff….n a total whiney a**, FAKE, weak individual….!!! And my babe is sooo laid back…and not whiney….n yeah…kind!!!
