Why? & Some Winter Pics

In my earlier post, I attached a video clip of a Korean TV series (drama/romance) and Crystal told me that she cried a lot while watching them and Juliana also told me that it was her fave Korean series. There's something that I've been wondering about. How come we (especially women) love crying our eyes out while watching love stories, even though we know it's only a story?

I even know one guy who said that he loved watching sad dramas 'coz he could cry his eyes out while watching. He said it always made him feel good afterward.

Anyway, I went to a store again downtown to buy a pot for my X-mas cactus. Now let me share with you some pics of X-mas decorations from around town he he he...

First pic: my new pot. Isn't it cute? I LOVE the star decoration on the pot he he he...The post cost €3.95 (around 45,000 rupiahs).


Second pic: This is how the flower lamp looks like when I took the pic without the blitz he he he...


Third pic: It's the apt. building behind us. Sorry it's not too clear, but click on it to view a bigger size and you'll see the star-shaped lamps on one window. I LOVE them!!! ;-D


Now starting from the below pic, I took some pics while going downtown...so just enjoy the trip he he he he he...Sorry to say that some of them aren't too clear.




This below pic is the pic of downtown. The very centre of Sodankylä he he he...


See the big snowman there? I think it's fake, though hmmm...and you can see a X-mas tree in front of the bookstore (kirjakauppa). Kirja = book, kauppa = store.


The below pic is a pic of one of the bars here.


As you can see, the below pic is a pic of a hotel and its restaurant. Karhu Hotelli = Bear Hotel.


This house below actually looked MUCH nicer than in the pic. Since it's located very close to Lidl, you can see Lidl's lamps reflected on the window. They really ruined my pic he he he he he...GRRRRRRR!!!


Now this below pic is a pic of our apt. Yes, located on the third floor. Hubby said that he broke some parts of the lamp on the balcony (see the party that didn't shine?) 'coz he twisted it too much.


And here's a pic taken from inside our bedroom. Nice glowing colourful lights...MMMM...I'm feeling REALLY festive HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

My Comfort

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything (James 1:2-4).

We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance [produces] character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us (Romans 5:3-5).

O LORD, ... be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. (Psalm 35:22-2)

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe. (Philippians 2:14-15)

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
