Vanity
[ 8:58 pm ] I hurt my lower back last Thursday. It wasn’t a macho injury since I got it from a slumped sitting position while watching Bleach. Not very macho, right? It’s been aching ever since. The first few days I couldn’t even walk at my normal speed and standing up after seating for a period of time proved to be painful as well. I feel like an old man. I usually brush off this kind of pain as it will go off in a couple of days. Why is it still here? I can’t even bend my back. Finally I told my mom about it when I asked how much it would cost to see a chiropractor. I’d probably do that if it doesn’t get well by end of the week. She showed me a few back exercises. According to Dr. Molly, my connector (LOL, what do you call that? Spine thingy) at my lower back could be pressing a nerve. Anyways, all the back exercises didn’t really help. Sleeping on my bed wasn’t that comfortable either, so I tried the floor … that didn’t help much too. Maybe I’ll just sleep on a chair. I rather have a muscle ache than this, at least it could be massaged. Anyways, I plan to be free of this nuisance by end of the week. Why? I can’t plan a healing? Must give time frame what. In the meantime, I’ll just pray and try to do some light stretching. Apart from the back ache, I had a pretty good weekend. I got myself 3 new pair of jeans :) There’s a sale going on in Metrojaya, so I manage to get the jeans at 70% discount. Not bad, not bad. I spent the better part of the day in Ikea with YS. I think I got a good lecture about my negativity. I guess I made too many passing comments about not being able to afford the super cool glossy kitchen cabinets, cupboards, etc. If I keep on thinking this way, I will never ever be able to afford anything. Ah yes, I’d like to see Faith at work, when the time comes. I’ve been reading what uncle Solomon, I mean King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes. I don’t quite know what to make of it. At the end of the day, the good, the wicked, the meek, the strong, the wise, the foolish, the rich, the poor, we all share the same fate. All of us will one day die. He made an observation of how the wicked prospers, while the righteous toils day and night, and how bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. Yeah, it’s not fair. We’re only equal in death. Chap 8 14 Here's something that happens all the time and makes no sense at all: Good people get what's coming to the wicked, and bad people get what's coming to the good. I tell you, this makes no sense. It's smoke.Chap 9 7-10 Seize life! Eat bread with gusto,God takes pleasure in our pleasure! Why work so hard and never get to enjoy the fruits of your labour? All most of us ever do is save our money, yes, there is wisdom there, but there is foolishness too. You’ll never know the number of days you have on this Earth. I’d rather take the opportunity to enjoy some good things in life rather than not being able to. Our lifespan is so short; I don’t want regrets when I’m well above 70 and never able to relish the fine things in life. I think that is very sad as I look at my dad’s life. Chap 6 6 Even if someone lived a thousand years—make it two thousand!—but didn't enjoy anything, what's the point? Doesn't everyone end up in the same place?Sad, huh? I don’t want to be like this. Chap 11 9 You who are young, make the most of your youth.Btw, I love The Message bible lol. Yes, I enjoyed this book. Maybe I could relate well with the pessimistic nature of book :P Ohhhhhhh vanity of vanities … all is vanity :) 0 comments Archives nothing |
