Ultimate Dark:
Considered the negation of color, black is conservative, goes well with almost any color except the very dark. It also has conflicting connotations. It can be serious and conventional. The color black can also be mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated.
Nature of Black:
Black is the absence of color. In clothing, black is visually slimming. Black, like other dark colors, can make a room appear to shrink in size and even a well-lit room looks dark with a lot of black. Black can make other colors appear brighter.
Culture of Black:
In most Western countries black is the color of mourning. Among young people, black is often seen as a color of rebellion. Black is both positive and negative. It is the color for little boys in China. Black, especially combined with orange is the color of Halloween. In early Westerns the good guy wore white while the bad guy wore black. But later on good guys wore black to lend an air of mystery to themselves.
Using Black:
Use the color black to convey elegance, sophistication, or perhaps a touch of mystery. Dark charcoal gray and very dark brown can sometimes stand in for black.
Using Black with Other Colors: Be careful using black with very dark colors. It can work, but if the colors are too similiar they blend together. Black works well with bright, jewel-toned shades of red, blue, and green. Black is the ultimate dark color and makes lighter colors such as yellow really pop out. Photographs often look brighter against a black background. Black and gray is a conservative combo as is medium or light blue and black.
Language of Black: The use of black in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others, both the positive and negative aspects.

You must watch it
We as human always have a tendency to complain instead of giving thanks for what we have. Everyday before I come to work I make a pray for others to be more thankful because I feel annoying when same person keep complaining. But somehow I forget about myself. The different is I don't complain to others but in the blog!!! It is still the same COMPLAINING!

They cheer me up
Since yesterday I am very tired. Though I had my sleep at night but still feel so lethargic in the next morning. Maybe I should have some exercise on the weekend...I should drag someone to go along with me! Ya! My husband and Isaiah! Just afraid that at the end, instead of exercise, I go to 'exercise my stomach'.
Thank God that I always have my family's support in helping me taking care of Isaiah. Not forgetting my students too. They are very funny and they really cheer me by looking on they body language. It is good to reflect on the good things that happended on us so that we will be happy and with a gratitude heart.
Recently I read a book, it said that stress can kill a person. So don't stress ourself so much if we would like to have long life on earth.

Here I come
After 2 years, here am I to blog again. This is not because I lazy!!!I 'm not MIA, just busy with life. Beside that my college encourge us to do journaling so here I am! :) As I read my previous journal.....oh man! I have change alot!!! (In negative way).
The previous story is all about my serving in church and how God works in each indivudual's life.
Now it will be in a different phase. I already married for 2 years and with a child, life ready different after all. In these years god has been faithfully lead and guide me. Without Him, my life will be in the mess.
I am married to a wonderful husband. I love him a lot not because what he is but who he is because God love us for who we are, right?! My son....now already 4 months old. He starts to be cheeky (in the positive way I would define him as smart). Now I am working in Taylor's University College. It is a wonderful place and so far I enjoyed with my students and my workplace. Not forgetting my collegue too!
In this new phase, I believe great things gonna to happen. So I will continue blogging and I will see my progrss as I go along.

Two day before the camp, as i pray for the youth, God show me Jeremiah 3:13-16. As i continue to read on....I have a feeling that God want to do something great to this youth but there is unwillingness and stubborn in them.
Praise God, as i pray for them throughout the camp, I can see God change their heart. This wonderful youth has turn around. They are all total surrender to God. Amen!
This camp God not only change the youth, but also open up my eye to see the other side of the youth. I really happy until i can't put it into word. Just want to give all praise to God.
Just trust in God, Thereis lots of thing we can't control. There is lots of desirer we can't achive...but as I look what God has done in this wonderful youth....HE CAN DO ALL THING!
