My Happy Face and Me

I look perfectly happy don't I? Over all yes... I am quite happy person even my insurance is going up unthinkably high and giving me, mostly to Robins, a big headache time to time.

We are paying X X X X X US$ per year because of my past sickness. I wish someone can do something this ugly Insurance Policy going up and up each year. If my Insurance Policy is not change and not kind to the policy holders, this will not kill the patient only but also mentally will kill the whole family.

Some of the Insurance Policy is just like cancer, unfortunately a very bad one which rapid spread type of cancer. How could they do that to people? The more I read, the more I know that lots of people lives short cut because they did not get proper treatment. Of course the "Money"!! Well..there are cases that load of money but die any way.

Our Insurance company increase my fee each year, the amount that you all can't think of it....WHY??? I have no answer for that beside bad policy??

In this time of the world, we all have our own problems but I can still keep my happy faces. To be fair, may be I am not working!!

Well.... no excuses folks, I do my fair share too. For my Robins to become one of the top of his field, I suffered 6 years a lone most of the time in Guatemala. When he was piloting the new farm in Belize, I was alone with the baby (maids, that I had no count because they are not emotionally not impact on me, yes they help!). I am not yakady yak yak on that but what I mean is I did my part of works.

Gen. 2:18 said, " Then the Lord God said " it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is like him"..(for Robins was me, Helen!! Do you all notice that even Gay people can't stay a lone they have their own partner too???)

Gen 2:21-22 said, " God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at the place. Then the Lord God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man." (I am a Christian so I believe that Bible is the words of God! See my case..there are so many men in Aisa but why in the world a man from far far a way?? On top of that a good man with a good rib that I got!!)

Here I want to share abit more about "The Rib". Most people think that men has one less rib than women because of the the way God created the women. There is no one ward in the Bible said...." So let the man has one less bone than woman". God never mislead us...never!!! A bone doctor said "Bone also regenerate!" . So we all have equal 12 sets of bone.

Gen. 2:21 said, "God took one of man ribs and CLOSED the flesh at that place".... "CLOSED" here is mean "HEALED"!! Do you think God took a rib from Adam and without healing and let it bleed to die?? NO WAY!!! See that's why I believed that God is the best Doctor since no one doctor was born on this earth!

Happiness, somehow I can still find the way to it. I know that my life will be up and down as the rest of the people. To take it in good way, means.... in pray, in attitude, in act, in response, that's all up to me. The day that I can't help of my Insurance payment, I will see the way how to deal with it. That's later story too. I am not crossing the bridge yet!!

Have a happy day!!

"Dear God,

Thank you for the happy time. Please be with us when unhappy time is with us. In Christ name,

Amen"

My beauty and Me

Here is an ugly couple but very very happy!

I read about "Cancer drug not whitener", article by Pongphon Sarnsamak from The Nation Newspaper. It said..."This cancer drug might destroy perfect healthy cells and tissues within your body."

The warning came after Dr. Pravit received lots of questions from patients about the efficacy of using the leukaemia drug to whiten the skin.

Pravit said leukaemia patients develop white spots, not a whiter complexion, form taking the drug. ..."

We human being never get enough don't we?? White want to be Black, Black want to be white and now the Yellow want to be white!!

On the beaches in Thailand, we can see the white are sun bathing till they got burned, some look like over toasted and some look like red lobsters!! Now you can see in some of Asia countries girls, they will go around with a tiny umbrella to cover their faces which is trade mark of High Society Colour!! Here if you are brown they thought you are the peasant's daughter.

If there is a wish of beauty, this will be my, Helen's beauty.....I want to be 5' 7", brown but not brownie colour, OK tan, green eyed or blue eyed, very dark dark hair, the boob size of Catherine Zeta Jone NOT Pamela Anderson size, a beautiful smile with chic and classy type! Well...I am totally opposite look of all my wishes. Then I ask to myself, Am I happy with my own look?..Yes... I am very happy. You can say Pamela Anderson has all the men. OK lets her has them. She will be the one very busy and I will be peace!! I am very happy with my own one man.

Real thinking... you can't control your own skin colour you know. May be for a short time or unless you want to look like Micheal Jackson for the rest of your life!

There a way to control your child colour though...may be a little control only. Lets say ......me, a yellow one, if I want a black or tan colour babies I should marry a black man don't I? OR if I want a yellowish white babies, I need to marry a white man. If I really really want a red colour baby with a Chinese eyes, I should marry Eskimo or Apache man!! Is make sense ha?

We all want to be beautiful..I do not know about you but I do want to be beautiful but I will stay within my limit and I won't go for bleach! I might think about face lift if I hit 60 but no tummy tuck because my mouth is on my face not on my belly. Normal People do look your face more than your others.

Well have a beautiful inside your soul and outside of your face too.

How many of us thankful for our look?

My God and Me

Lately I have seen and heard the news which are sad and unhappy.

Last night, someone called me because one of our church members finished the contract and looking forward a new job. She wanted to know that Robins, my husband can help or not!! I can't answer for that.

Then a friend came the other half way from the world to see a new things, a new place, a new life to mend his broken heart.

Come another very sad new was one of our friend lost her husband in such a horrible way. She almost lost her second son and herself too.

What are all these? Why such a horrible things happen to good people? I know very little answers from my side of views. In my God's view, I do not know because I am not God, period!! I know the man lost his job because the company is not doing well. The man's heart broken because the other party not love him anymore. I know my friend lost her husband because of a nasty anger group of people.

Some people will ask some questions if they are in those bad situations!!

Where is God I am not happy?

I thought God can do every thing, right?

How can all the wrong are with me?

Let me repeat it again. My life is like this..My mother and my father got divorce when I was barely 9 year old. My mother die of liver cancer at 42, My only one sister die of liver cancer at 31. And now I got hit by liver cancer which ending up staying with some one's liver!! Here I will tell you the truth. All those years... I have no mad at my God. I have no anger to my God. I have no looking or asking where is my God? Instead......I do pray! I beg to help me! I seek his mercy! I asked to forgive me, and I tell God that I will do good better!

My point is..there are some believers who put the trust in God more knowing how faith with action works. Others react different ways....

I read in a book by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. They are clinical psychologists. They wrote .."God certainly is God and God can do any ting. "With God all things are possible" (Matt 19:26). "He rules the universe"..(Rev. 19:6).

How ever although God can, God doesn't do every thing. Here are some that God did not do......

God doesn't drive your car to the church.

God doesn't water your lawn.

God doesn't tell your Kid that you love them..."

After I read this book I see more clearly. i.e. God give me a beautiful child and to love my child is my job. God already teach me what love is. What I have to do is telling my son that I love him and show him.

I will never jump out from my 16 floor saying my God will help me. Surely I will die. I have a brain which God gives me in good purpose but to use is wisely is up to me. God seeding everything for us and we have to take care of our parts.

Bottom line you can't manipulate to God and God make it clearly too! In truth, we all will find Christ, our God!

My thought and my prayer are with my friend who lost her husband recently.

A Medical Memoir by Dr. Keith Dahlberg

The Red colour is my saying!
The Blue colour is Dr. Dahlberg saying in his book!!

I just finished reading a book calls, Bridge Ahead by Dr. Keith Dahlberg. Robins ordered it and Dr. Newman brought it to us. I like the book a lot. I really do. I feel like some one was telling me about my birth place which I remembered so little. The Dahlberg lived in Shan State from 1957 to 1962. During this time Dr. and Mrs. Dahlberg had help lots of Shan, Lahu, Kaw and Chinese people. A doctor who can live in USA and can have a good life but leave every good thing behind and looking forward to help under developing
area. I am sure and knew so because of him and his team, Keng Tung, Shan States got the best medical care on those years!

American Head Nurse, Peggy Smith who delivered me and my sister Jue Ju, was working with Dr. Dahlberg. Jue Ju was born at the Hospital which Dr. Dahlberg built. My mother was trained as a nurse by Mrs. Smith with other 2 ladies. Flash back, some Christmas that I spent at Peggy Smith's house, those Blondie girls (they are older than me), might be the Dahlberg's daughters or other American Medical Team's children.

In his book , I like to share the chapter of "Medicine and Faith".

Dr. Dahlberg wrote, " Every now and then, the newspapers report a child with some dire disease, Leukemia or diabetes perhaps-whose parent refuse medical treatment, saying they will depend on God a lone to heal the child.

If these same parent were caught with their child in the middle of raging flood, or some other natural disaster, I think that in most cases they would not hesitate to accept rescue by boat or helicopter, acknowledging that God sometime send help by way of such things in this world. It puzzles me why they might think that medicine is less a part of God' created world than a helicopter is. May be it's the way they perceive the offer, perhaps with a requirement for cash in advance, or offered with arrogance: or because someone they heard of died anyway. Be that as it may, there is a need for both faith and medicine in medical crises"

Helen said: I am so happy that Dr. Dahlberg write about medicine and faith. As we all know one day we all are going to sick may be die! Like it or not medicine is helping us on this earthly life. Mean time we all are walking in this world which is waiting for us with so many happiness, sickness, surprises and sad thing. I have seen
some people got the best treatment and die young, some people live on the mountain who are boiling leaves this and that and ...still living! OK can be reverse way too. We do need meidcine like it or not! For me surely I need the most of my God's help and still needing till the day whos know but God know.

This is what I firmly believe it and feel it... The doctors can give you the best of his knowledge and works. i.e...In my case I always pray that thank God to creating the good medicines and wonderful doctors like Dr. Hemming, Dr. Nelson, Dr. Pico and Dr. Langhan! I got treated by one of the best team of liver transplant but for that new liver to work properly in me is only God can help. There are so many unseen thing that only God can see. I do believe in medicine and I am fully believe in my God's love, mercy, miracle, and forgiveness to me. That doesn't mean that I am not going to die I am going to die one day but life after dead is another story!

I love Dr. Dahlberg said in the book..."Faith in what or whom? Some advise self-reliance ..."I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul". Others depend upon another person, a spouse perhaps, or a work partner, or a doctor or counselors trust in following the rules set down by their particular religious group. Some other s hope to be lucky.

This s a touchy subject. In matters of faith, those who claim to have all the answers often feel threatened and insecure if anyone argues against their particular interpretation. Many other people, more secure in their own faith, may suspect the person with "all the answers" has not yet addressed all the questions........

I freely admit being a follower of Jesus , even though in imperfect one. I believe in a Creator God who takes benevolent interest in each of us and who has a plan for our lives if we, in our freedom of choice, choose to trust God. That's my basic life view.....

Helen said...I like the way the thinking of Dr. Dahlberg. This is what he said about blaming God for all the bad things and causing so much suffering. Dr. Dahlberg said "Among these causes that might be remedied I see infection, injury, ignorance, greed, demand for vengeance and misguided desires or life-styles, to name a few."...

"If God exist and created the world, as Christians supposes, God is not a genie in a bottle. We do not bargain with God or order God around. If this world is God's Creation, we can choose to accept it and see to learn how best to live in it, or we can choose to be angry about it and raise our blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Rather than complain or panic when confronted with crisis, I often find it useful to ask for God's help"....

I am so happy that the way he put his faith in true English way of writing. Oh yes...I do have faith, no question on my faith but I do have problem of writing for not knowing how to write in meaningful English.

Once I wrote a letter to my American friend instead of I should write "Are you still angry at me. I am sorry!" but no joking this is I wrote to him.."If you still angry at me, I can't help but go to hell!!" I think I put my other languages into English directly. Well....... surprisingly he was not go to hell but came to me with 2 dozens of roses and we become friend again!!! Forgiveness is talking here!

This is Dr. Dahlberg talked about medicine and faith..." Some quite intelligent people believe that what I call answers to prayer are no more than coincidence. Perhaps so. My father used to remark that ..When people pray, coincidences happen more often!. (I, Helen said...How very true!). I tend to agree with him. I have seen many separate instances where something was a accomplished by several people happening to be in "the right place at the right time." (if you read his book you will understand why he said that).

In one point he said "How then is faith relevant? To me, its the infrastructure of life. It is the fiber, the substance of what we call integrity, dependability, honesty, Character. Without it, life and direction begin to wobble, become indecisive, or even collapse.

It is not faith's function to abolish all trouble, but deal with it effectively, whether by prayer or the scientific methods God provides through his servants."

I would like to say thank you very much to Dr. Dahlberg, Peggy Smith and other medical team who helped Shan States also to Thailand in later year. On behalf of Shan, Lahu, Lishu, kaw, people...Thank you very much DR. Keith Dahlberg. Thank you Ms. Smith for my mother to became a nurse!

Most of all Thank you God for sent them to a place such as far far away from modern world but the best medical care that mountain people can't imagine on those years but they got it!! God is good!!!

True Or Not True??

I do received all kind of emails as the rest of you are. Mostly I deleted them but some I opened it. Last week I got an email from a person who I know. The subject was attracted to me so I opened it. The email was about Ex Australia Prime Minister John Howard's
talking his nation security and view on "Extremist Muslims live in Australia."

Before I blog it I did some research and found the following. I just wanted to say here that...in this world we do have Good Americans and bad Americans, good Christians and bad Christians, good monks and bad monks, good Shans and bad Shans and ....so does good Muslim and bad Muslim!! We can't say...... "The whole Apples basket is bad because of an Apple was rotten in the basket."

For Prime Minister Howard, yes he was a leader of Australia. He has the duty to protect his people. He is the head of the country, he has the right to taking care of the Australia's Business in good way. I think who lives in Australia should obey the Australia's Law. I do feel that his old statement is fair and clear.

In Thailand we must respect to the King. I live in Thailand so I do obey the Thai laws. There might be some who did not vote for Obama but we understand that he is our President so I do understand his time of Presidency in our great nation. Bottom line is you can't go your own way. You might not agree with his way of leading the country but for 4 year we must support him. After 4 years you are free to vote for who ever you want to.

This is what I see......"If you are a guest of some one house you must act like a good guest"!!(Should not be the one who even not flash the toilet bowl ")...If you are a daughter in law you act like a daughter in law" no problema!! got it???

View on "The apple basket!"!!! Yes...we do need to understand that because of one person or a small group of idiot or wrong behavior,
you can't judge on the whole basket is bad too!

I have seen some people from Muslim Countries in United States, honestly they are so thankful to be in America! Let me tell you..... if United States of America will open the door for Burmese people, there will be long line of Burmese people like Moses leading the Israeli to the promise land!!

We American might be not perfect but I am so grateful to be an American! I love you America!!

Lets be Fair and Respect!! OK....please enjoy the rest.........

From: Hoax Slayer
Debunking email hoaxes and exposing Internet scams since 2003!


Summary:Email forward claims that former Australian Prime Minister John Howard told the media that immigrants should adapt to Australian culture, language and beliefs or leave the country. It also claims that Howard told Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law that they should get out of Australia (Full commentary below).

Status:Contains elements of truth, but is highly misleading and inaccurate.

Helen Said: The email I received was the same as following;

'Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.

''This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom."

''We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!

''Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

''We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.

''This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.

''If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.

'Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American and Canadian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.'

Commentary:According to this email forward, former Australian Prime Minister John Howard informed Muslims living in Australia in no uncertain terms that they should leave the country if they wished to live under Islamic Sharia law. The message claims that the then Australian government was intent on targeting Muslim radicals "in a bid to head off potential terror attacks". The email also quotes a no-holds-barred diatribe about immigration supposedly delivered by John Howard. The message suggests that political leaders in Canada and the United States would do well to follow the lead of the Australian Prime Minister with regard to immigration policy.However, although the message does contain elements of truth, it is in fact highly misleading and inaccurate. At the outset, it should be noted that the message is now quite outdated. Versions of the email began circulating back in 2005. Since then, there has been a change of government in Australia. The Howard Government was resoundingly defeated in November 2007 and the current Australian Prime Minister is Labor's Kevin Rudd. However, the message contains no date and some non-Australian recipients may therefore wrongly assume that it refers to current events rather than events that occurred several years ago in a somewhat different political climate.

Update:February 2009Early in 2009

I began receiving versions of the above email that named Australia's current Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, as the person responsible for the supposed anti-Muslim stance. It seems that some rather unimaginative prankster has simply substituted "Rudd" for "Howard" in the text and replaced the photograph of John Howard with one of Kevin Rudd before sending on the message. The message is otherwise identical to the example included above. The "Rudd" version strays even further from the truth than the original. None of the comments or opinions included in the message have any connection whatsoever with Kevin Rudd or his Government.
