Bad Luck Day

Yesterday, as my friend said, was "bad luck day" coz it seem that few of us in the same course had a bad encounter that day. That friend hurt her finger while getting off a bus, another friend was almost finishing an assignment he had worked on for few days when someone switched of the power to his laptop causing him to the final part of the work he had done (yes had not saved) and i slightly scalded my hand while cooking maggi mee for supper.

Thinking back, yes at that moment it really felt that all of us had "bad luck" yesterday, but looking back, actually its so easy for one bad event to ruin the whole day. We always remember the negative side of things, and not look at the positive side.

Like the story where there was a king who went hunting and lost one finger. He had an aide whom he always brought wherever he go to advise him on matters. When the king lost his finger, the aide said "it could have been worse". This angered the king so he threw the aide to jail. The next day the king embarked on another hunting trip, on which he was captured by cannibals who was preparing to cook him for their meal. While preparing the meal, they discovered that the king had lost his finger. They let him go because it was their tribe ritual to only eat perfect people. The king went back to his kingdom and immediately set the aide free from prison. He told the aide the whole story and again, the aide said "it could have been worse". The king was surprised by his comment and asked "what could be worse?" and the aide replied "if i wasn't in prison, i would have followed you on the hunting trip."

In leach situation there are many ways to view it. how you view it, its totally up to you. :)

Desiderio domini

Was talking to Cheng Yee (my music course junior) somehow ended up using a laptop going on to youtube. There he showed me a clip...his song with the title "Desiderio Domini"( which means I long to be with my Lord.)
Found the title quite interesting and decided to go look more info about it.

Desiderio Domini, a phrase used by the Apostle Peter when he was asked why he cried so much after the ascention of Jesus.

After hearing the title, and the translation ( i long to be with my lord) I have taken an interest in this, wondering if there was any deeper meaning to the phrase desiderio domini.
I tried going for direct translation through Google translate, which gave me the direct translation "desired dominion". Unable to satifsfy my curiosity, I went and look for further translations for Dominion, which eventually lead me to the origin of the word, Dominus, which means literally "Lord".

Sometimes, we look at thing in a very complicated way, thinking the more complicated, the deeper the meaning. We often overlook simple things, or even worse, try to complicate things.
Too many times we miss the essence of a simple phrase, or even simple gestures of people around us, complicating situations or words said by others.
Too many times, we complicate what the bible tells us, or what God says.
Too many times, we complicate what we want to tell others, what we want them to know.
Too many times, we complicate our expression of love and adoration to God.

Desiderio Domini. I Love you Lord.

I confess, the pride in my heart
I put aside, all of me
Strip away understanding from me
I trust in you
I long for you

Desiderio Domini
How dearly, I long to be
With you lord, at your feet
Desiderio Domini

No complaints, about all the pain
I don’t care, how much it takes
I will cry until I die
A prayer of desperation to you
I ache for you
I long for you
