How to write a Catholic/Christian/Religious post

Unlike most post where they debate on issues and try to understand their faith, I have decided to have a post on how to write a Catholic/Christian/Religious post. And no, I do not have a lot of free time. Here, I will give you step-by-step instructions on how to post religiously without being massacred online. (Facebook users, if you're really not interested, this is your cue to look away.)

Step 1: GET A TOPIC STATEMENT
Well, you need to have something to discuss about! So, think of something thought-provoking. Check out other religious blogs. If you like, you may steal information from my extremely faithful Christian friend Nevin, who amazingly got his post on Revelife headlines.
(http://ieatworksleep.xanga.com/705834622/do-you-judge-people-by-what-they-wear-to-church/)
(Nev, if you're reading this. I hope you don't mind :)
Don't worry if your statement is too wide and don't worry about writing about how you feel. If people feel the same way, they will comment and support you. If people have questions, they will comment hoping you will comment back. If people feel strongly that what you have written in complete and utter nonsense, take deep breaths and hope they DON'T comment. If they do, avoid slamming back 'cause God prolly doesn't want that.

Step 2: DO YOUR RESEARCH
Skim through the bible (or other religious text if you're of other religion) and give some quotes. This is not Literature class so you don't need to kill your readers with overly sophisticated words or immensely deep language (obviously, God doesn't want vulgaries or his name in vain). If possible, state the chapter where you're quote is from. That way, the readers may check it out if they want to if they're interested.

Step 3: RELATE IT TO PEOPLE
People don't want to see another religious post that doesn't apply to them so it is good to show how the matter applies our daily lives. Nevin speaks about judging others by the clothes they wear in his post and that applies to most of us. That way, readers can relate and in the confort and isolation of their homes they will go, "Yeah! That is SO TRUE!". That will make people ponder about what you have written.

Step 4: HAVE A MESSAGE
It may not always be present but having a message behind should the main focus of most religious post. Most religious post simply want closure or a summary of a pressing matter. Feuds can start and end on issues happening in the world and there will always be something one can learn from a religious text. However, if you post on how you feel about something, there might not be a message.

Step 5: ENJOY WHAT YOU DO
Unless you are graded or held at gunpoint to write a religious post, be creative and have fun. It's how you feel, how you react, what you think so don't let some one else influence you. Furthermore, you have the choice on what to do in your post.

In the end, YOU have the power to decide what you want to do with your faith.

Must be Mosey

I spent a large amount of today talking to Moses the hillarious full of shit one. He's got fever so we chatted more than a normal human would in one day. So here enjoy this weird conver, editted of course.

With His blood He purchased me;
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt and made me free. —Bliss

i was still coughing like a dog
but really, i nvr felt happier in my life.

OH! And He Got Away With Boys in The Back Acting Like They're Too Hot To Dance

I have officially imported my blog to facebook so I need to write more er.. what's the word? nice? internet-friendly? so yeah. (Or else someone will report me)

So updates for the week. Nothing much really happened lately. It IS only week 2! But so far things are sweet. Chinese AA was a failure but I take pride in the fact that there will be people who will fail WITH me! I couldn't even write Chinese words on the comp. I had to copy and paste from Chinese Wikipedia. Wedding some more. TSK TSK.

Today's English period was damn lame. I don't understand why the classmates were howling with laughter about the Mr Bean show! The JK Rowling's Speech, yeah sure, but Mr Bean is just so er, stupid? Retarded? The puns about death not even funny and "Fatal Beatings" was damn stupid. Damn stone.

So many stupid AAs! And worse, the english AA survey things are flooding my lead inbox. Sianz. How to get anything done?! Physics AA due Friday. Chem AA due dunno when and Bio AA due soon. Die

But, Bio is now not my most hated period. And on Wednesday, Mrs Lim ended us ALMOST ON TIME! A NEW RECORD! And she ended Practical early today! But it was to go back to class so that she could give out stuff. Oh Well...

I hate H1N1. It grows and spreads to Butter Factory and other places and SCHOOLS ARE NOT CLOSED STILL!! OVER 1000 ALREADY!!! And people will fever cannot go school for a week. Nevin's jail sentance ends Sunday (whose mother threatened his son, saying that if he went to school, she'll call MOH and he'll be in the papers. Unfair...). HK get well soon.

Oh Spoiler Alert.
I have the name of the second Harper's Island murderer.

(He killed his wife-to-be Trish and he killed John Wakefield too! But Abby, the good girl, killed him at the end. Oh well. Abby, Jimmy, Shea and Madison stays alive in this 13 episoide thriller.)

Life is a wild party

I need a party again. I've never felt more energised to go for a party!
Check out "Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship. Addictive! I'll upload my new playlist soon for all new Electronica Dance music! And I'm going for a Hillsong Concert and AP later this year. Pics available on Facebook soon.

I've made big decisions which I'm not ready to let the world know yet but I will when time comes. Til then, we'll see.

No I don't like it rough, It just happens to be

You know you life sucks when you come home, watch 'Celebrity Crisis, Ten Most Shocking Mental Disorders' and realise that you might be suffering from depression and Bipolar Disorder. You also switch you playlist from "Rock 'n' Rolla" to "Regain my Sanity" and find yourself asking why am I listening to a Nick Jonas sing about "Not knowing what you have til it's gone".

Yeah, the June Hols were great but only for so long. My London vaca was great (H&M is an awesome store and sells the best clothes Topman is next in line. The musical Wicked was great!) but Paris was much of a bore. It's like Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vutton blah blah blah. But vacation can make you happy for so long. And school starting didn't help my sanity much. I also realised that I have offically lost all Leadership positions possible. MM is dying, Drama is casting me away just because i didnt go for SYF and now I'm not a nominated Exco member. Life is greattt. Not.

When your head prefect comes in to class and ask to see 4 of the previously nominated 'junior josephian of the year' and just to find another telling you the names of the new prefects Exco names. Of all ways, I had to find out this way. Why cant they spell everything out for real? Is this like a test to see how I'm taking it? Cause it's not a very good one.

I spend time thinking this over and over again. How can I do it over again? And I realise that I can't. But I may have to kill 4 of 8 to be able to. But is it worth it. No can't go so low.

Maybe the only way to take it is out on me. National Day is coming. Time is running out.

School's Out

After like 11 weeks of hell (school, work, family stuff, etc) I'm finally feel to do whatever I wanna do. I can stay up blogging, playing Pandemic 2 (which is like really fun and everyone should try it at least once).

But I'm here at home blogging and watching the ultimatum while Nevin, Blum, HK and moses are at Haagen Dazs having fun chatting. They just webcamed me.

okay
seanlee_zh@hotmail.com says:
what's happening?
seanlee_zh@hotmail.com says:
nevin's making weird faces
seanlee_zh@hotmail.com says:
now all of you are making weird faces
nevinatlevel72@hotmail.com says:
hahhaha

I wanna get out of the house again. Maybe I'll go hereen tomorrow. But go so many AAs!!! Sianz...

Sup classes for the whole week was really long and draggy. I think Mr Fong lost it in the weekend cause he came back a little weird (Hello kettle, this is Sean, you're black). He now keeps this ridiculous log book.

I'm now trying to gain weight so that I can buy more clothes in London. It's tiring and oh-so-ugly fitting into children's department all the time. I doubt I will be able to due to my insane metabolic rate but maybe after this I'll get Macs. Or Not.

Oh and notes to all ex-RC players: You can now rate other people's restaurants and people can rate yours. But the game is still the same just with more stuff.

Guitar lessons are great but I'm back to a stand-still. Different songs, same chords, same pattern, gets boring. I'm trying my hand back at songwriting and composing while learning scales. I guess that will be one of my goals for the rest of the year.

Speaking of goals of the year I have list down several things I want to do
Stop failing Chinese (Impossible rating: 20/10)
Stop borderline passing Bio (Impossible rating: 19/10)
Get good enough grades to go to Boston at the end of the year (Impossible rating: 100/10)
Gain weight, I have no idea how to do that other than eating (Impossible rating: 50/10)
Get back to songwriting and composing (Impossible rating: 10/10)
Be less emo, which is surprisingly easy to do now (Impossible rating: 8/10)

I recall the time Blum dared me to stab myself (which I probably would have done) but I wonder who else would. Oh and I think that I would post note on facebook and see how many likes and comments I would get for the fun of it.
Haha. Happy Holidays however you may spent it. And to those at LLTC, well I have nothing to say.

Poisoned...

I think it's about time someone send me to a therapist. But who in their right minds will bother?

I feel poisoned lately... firstly due to my sister's cooking for her test. The nightmare will end June 2 so I'm begging for it to arrive quickly. What to know how 'awesome' it is? I bit into a tempura and it was cold, hard and the prawn remained intact after 2 bites. The cold noodle wasn't cold and the sauce was salty like the dead sea. I nearly cried...

Me: Is cooking demoralising?
(Sis shakes head)
Me: It will be

OH GOD. HELP HER PLEASE!!!!

Had a horrible matcha latte yesterday at Starbucks. Never EVER drink a ice matcha latte. The frappe and hot are good and makes you feel less poisoned.

I still love American Idol. The songs are awesome!!!! I can't wait for next season and I can't wait til I'm eligible to audition in Singapore. We'll see. And for all you American Idol lovers out there, watch youtube videos of Kara Diogaurdi, Allison Iraheta and Kris Allen on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

Thinking back, term 2 started off very horribly. I re-read my earlier blog post for the start of the term and I witnessed again the result of compressing emotion. If you feel the need to explode all your emotions, do it healthy. Try this. For all those sports people, go run or go gym or something sporty. Sports is said to release "feel good hormones". For more angsty people like me, write out your anger and frustration and burn it or tear it. IT WORKS AND FEELS REALLY GOOD TO DESTROY STUFF!!! But make sure people know how you are feeling because you dont want to repeat the incident again.

As the term went I think I felt better and then Ms Chia found out about something which was quite old news and etc... Then we had midyears which sucked for most of us except for Le Yong, Shannon and JJ Lum (but seriously they are not human. And one of the 3 do not deserve human rights. BTW: Just kidding Lumz).

After exams were worst, Hongkiat did a great job of making the class shirt. And we all had a say of how we looked at the back. I had a gun and a knife and crosses for my eyes which I thought were really cool. Ironically, we ended up doing more work during lessons than before exams.

Right now, I feel great (except for the poisoned food which I just ate)! And I'm ready for term 3. As long as I dont pass out again during assembly. Yes, I didn't raise flag because I nearly passed out. And yes, that was on Thursday. And yes, I am that weak
