Demotivate people to motivate yourself

 Have you ever wonder....

Why you always have flaws and not perfect in everything you do?

The thing is you shouldn't think so even though people be little yourself to the point that you started to agree with there opinion. 

What you should keep doing is to keep yourself motivated and don't demotivate others. This kind of people should get the best ignorance from you. 

Reading books and paper or reading smartphone?

Good evening and may everyone had taken care of your health greatly.

Question: reading books or reading article from smartphone/ laptop computer.

I personally choose books over smartphone reading. This is because books information and writing form are more precise and carefully edited. While in the smartphone or website not all article are true and precise information. The potential of article being plagiarize is high.  

Overall, reading quality is higher when I read books compare to smartphone because there is social media apps and games that  may distract the focus and attention from reading the information needed. 

Somehow when it comes to acquiring information in the tip of finger. Smartphone would be better option but it will be a sticky fingertip cause it will distract me lot.

Josephine Damian represents the modern Sabahan woman: educated, grounded in faith, culturally rooted, and passionately committed to agricultural empowerment. She is widely respected among her peers and students for her leadership, kindness, and inspiring journey from humble beginnings to becoming a Deputy Principal and agricultural role model.

Root love and Conversation culturist

 To begin with, I really love culture especially All the culture in here Sabah. 

There is so many sub ethnic in here. The difference of the races stick us together so close in a way. 

One of the things that i really wanna do something about is to start with myself learning Native language Kadazan.

I will now listening to Kadazan radio every morning and going to church on kadazan session purposely. It will help me grow to love and nurture my mother tongue language.

The Lost Art I’ll Always Treasure: Handwriting

 

In a world racing toward digital everything, there’s something beautifully personal about handwriting. The swirl of each letter, the quiet focus it demands, and the satisfaction of seeing your thoughts take shape on paper — it’s a simple joy I’ll never trade for a touchscreen.

For me, handwriting is therapy. It slows my mind when life feels too fast. It turns to-do lists into little works of art. It helps me process my thoughts, dreams, and prayers in ways typing never could. There's magic in seeing ink flow from pen to paper, crafting words that feel personal and real.

Whether it’s jotting down a meaningful quote, scribbling ideas for my next ceramah, or just doodling names of places I dream to visit — handwriting keeps me grounded.

And honestly, nothing beats the feel of holding a favorite pen, the crisp texture of fresh pages, and that quiet moment where it’s just me, my thoughts, and a story waiting to be written.

The Sparkling Soul of JD

 

A vibrant, faith-rooted, and dynamic woman, you wear many hats with grace and heart. A proud mother of four daughters and one son, you balance a beautiful life of family, career, creativity, and passion.

Since January 13, 2016, you’ve served as a Senior Agriculture Officer, and today, you lead with purpose as the Unit Lead at the Quality Section, Unit Pembangunan Organisasi dan Kerjaya. Your work isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. You love doing extension work, delivering ceramahs to farmers, students, and stakeholders, bridging knowledge, empowerment, and community growth.

In your downtime, you shine just as brightly. A creative soul, you find joy in braiding beads into ‘pinongkoloh selendang’, keeping tradition alive with your own touch. Your sporty, competitive edge shines too — with trophies in darts and chess, medals in fun walks, and a deep love for javelin, shot put, and discus.

You’re a lifelong achiever, proudly holding 7As in PMR, 8As in SPM, and currently acing your Master’s degree with a flawless 4.0 CGPA.

Your heart belongs to the world, with a soft spot for Japan (your forever favorite), and cherished memories of Bali and Taiwan — especially for their amazing vegetarian restaurants. Speaking of food, your daily delights are Tealive and waffles.

A woman of faith and resilience, your favorite verse,

“Segalanya dapat ku tampung kerana Engkau Tuhan” (Filipi 4:13),
guides you through every chapter.

Music fuels your soul — from Hillsong worship songs to relaxing tunes and those memory-boosting tracks that power your sharp mind. And when you need to unwind close to home, you find peace at Lokawi Zoo in Kota Kinabalu.

You’re a leader. A mother. A traveler. A creator. A champion. A believer.

Unduk ngadau/sugandoi keamatan, cultural entertaining show

Hope everyone still cool with the current situation pandemic and keep calm.

There is one saying goes, when rain is stop. The sun will shine and rainbow will be yours. So it  keep raining and we are anticipating the rainbow soon.
But, the situation won't burn down the spirit of kaamatan and unduk Ngadau fever. Everyone changing their profile picture with ethnic cloth, throwing back unduk Ngadau pictures/ handcraft. There is even some online competition for this kaamatan pageant/singing contest.

The question: Is kaamatan unduk Ngadau/sugandoi a cultural entertaining show or just merely a way to the remembrance of the paddy spirit while celebrating the victory of harvesting a good yield of crops. 

My personal thoughts about this is harvesting festival event are cultural entertaining show  whereby peoples are preparing for this to compete and celebrate but at the same time, people are embracing the culture of the ethnicity where they gathered in the hall and meet some relatives supporting their favourite contestant. It's pretty much both educational and entertaining show event.

Somehow, these event won't exceptional to the negativity around the corner. How we cope these negativity while building up our personalities by not responding with them.

Goal reset for 2020

Hello everyone, hopes you all still stay safe and healthy from the any diseases.

We all step in 2020 like a champ, fighting the cv 19 which tried to hold us ( human race ) back in the year before. Who ever that planned this with all the conspiracy theories flooding in the air of the network, just don't forget that Jesus always love us all. Let's pray to Him and Mother Mary for mercy and healing of the world.

Somehow, with the MCO,  restricted movement and activities, take some time to reconstruct, reorganize and rearrange strategy and purpose of life, short term goal and long term goal.

For short term goals I may want to reflect more on self esteem, self empathy before I can spread the love to others. Besides, for earthy goal, I may want to do some minor home renovation and be self care before I can care for others especially  my family. This is because I have lack of self love and I did not appreciate all the things that I have and often diss  myself for being ugly and not good enough which leads to bad impression. Of course more prayer to remind myself every single breath was not mine but it was a gift and blessing from god.

For long term goal, I would like to educate and educate my child to be more self love and love god more then anything.  While for earthy goals, I would just put my self preparing my self to every possible  things that may changed in next ten years. Maybe planning an early retirement. Preparing to enjoy retire moment. Maybe I would choose to be more focus on self improvement everyday like learning new words, new knowledge, good communication skill, good interpersonal skill, and so forth, be less gadget person. At that time I would be 42 years old and my child would be 15 and 13 years teenagers. It would be tough but I got to be their best friend to every where I go. They must learn their local language Kadazan and Murut for sure..  While they are mastering their Hokkien first. So they will be a good multilingual intellectual kids at that time. Rare maybe..

That's all from me. Peace.

Golden years: 1920-2020 and now 2040

Good evening you all,  since PKP is at the end of its phase, I feel this is gonna be my last blog for the period of time. As PKPB is on,  I'm started going to work and my time will dedicated more on daily basis.

Thanks to this bounty of free time and opportunities (PKP)  staying at Home activities leaved me a peaceful of mind at night and chaos of motherhood at morning til they going to bed.

So I have been spending my great time on reminiscing about past life,  present life and future life.  When I remembered what had happen in the pass, what I really mean Was when my grandmothers and grandfathers still with us. It was so real but yet it's just like they becoming my dream when they had passed away. Passed means your time in the world is up and passed, away means you are no longer here with your families. It's so sad because that relationship becoming dream.

Then when it's come to present, I see my two children with me,  and I'm breath in and out ever day by night, they grow bigger and not a baby anymore, they was so small yesterday and that labour pain can't be forgotten ever.  I feel like every day we are just "Travel" the time, and grow old and finally lastly died. We should remind ourself every night about death,  and woke up in the morning, reflect on the same thing.  Please be fearful to god father but don't be fearless with the world because it's ain't guard you soul, save your soul, not your world. This world is not ours, and we should be borrowing it and take care of it because this world is going to become others people's world and time traveling space.

 In the journey, we may choose to be lonely, solitude, or busy with life of motherhood and family and this world is just a journey. All this continuum time and space involved a lot of things in this world makes this simple world becoming so complex.

For the time being,  we Could be holy man we could be sinner or ommiter and right after we ended our time travelling in this world we will continue our journey up there and prepared to be judged on the day we our soul departed going back to our Father the Holy Spirit, and get rinse our soul in purgatory with fire and be lifted into the heaven. I feel this is no joke, we shouldn't take it for granted but just pray as hard as possible to get Jesus Christ attention and just pray harder than ever.

This body is just a vessel of our souls, our souls is traveling thru time,  and we remember what happen yesterday everything is so unreal. And when I died I just wish I could be reunite with all my grandparents and I want to see them again,  and all the love one that I have lost.

P/S: I'm not a perfect christian but it's a journey and fight for me to be one. Let's use our souls control with our mind and look at the world at 2040, where are we now?  Are we still here?  What kind of world is that year? What kind of human activities that will going to be famous or viral at that time?  Are we going to less sociable? Unable to be communicated well, as we had replace gadget to daily basis social needs. Are we going To be mostly fat and obese? Because we are trained  to stayed at home and stick to gadget.  Are we still fear of a new pandemic/ bio attack? All was so unsure. But one thing I'm really sure is we should have prepared so well to be departed from this world.

Good night everyone, and hope you all are still enjoying the kaamatan festival with some bir ,tumpung, and some other local rice wine with some local side dish maybe sup Bakas, tuhau seruding,  hinava,  or just mere barbeque.

Even though the government had announce 1 month and a few weeks ago that no celebration for state level but we all still can be gratitude to god and embrace the spirit of huminodun in another great way,  maybe planting some Greens or fruit at the backyard just to make the world greener and happier. It's a therapy to depression or stress too.

Financial advice

Hello there good day everyone,

For your information we all are involve with finance and we all have to learn how to manage it well. In this context, we have to manage daily expenses, debt, savings,  life security, mortgages, asettes or maybe all the little things that you considering to buy. Just avoid the wasting of resources and going to be ended up declutter because it is not usd

But I just don't really mind when it comes o travelling on vacation in Asian country. Because I deserve to enjoy my hard earned money as reward. After all it was fine for me. I think the world gonna takes time to revert the situation and heal the tourism industry. So no vacation for now.

For me personally, I really love to explore this part of knowledge because I have to managed it so well with my limited resources, I have to make sure it is enough for me to keep the food and shelter on top of my head there.  I read books about it, read from the net, social media. I would even keep track my expenses just to watch out its limit. My inspiration "Be frugal, but not stingy."

I can't lied about making a lot of big mistakes in managing the resources, making wrong decision to own something less important, or even decide on the wrong investment I guess. Big time loser for this investment and costing me loss 10 years time to payback the debt. But I'm gonna remanage all the debt and apply these techniques which was called the cloth in the basket, to clear these bad debt as fast as possible.

And most importantly, the law of finance even though contended with pressure and responsible, one must at least manage to have saving 3-6 months ahead of the salary. Well thanks so much to these blessing in disguise viruses. We lucky to have the moratorium for six month  and we can prepare our emergency saving more than enough to get us ready to fight through the economy crisis very soon. 

Read more,  share more,  don't forget to donate with gratitude and sincerity. What goes around comes around, do good deeds more and less controversy. Because we can do good with the money we have but we can't have the money when we leave the world. Don't miss the chance to do so. And tips for you guys, If you don't know how to donate Confidently just find some charity society to donate such as NGO with their very own purpose. Donate in the boost apps  or donate to the reliable sources such as bank website  where they advertise for donation to help war victim from Syria, Gaza and Palestine. But be sure, do not let others know what good deed you have done.

Till next time see you soon.  

Ps: Thanks to MCO I have plenty of free time to get my writing skills sharpen. Haha. I'm not excellent writer but I just love to write

One woman down and about

Jun 12-17, 2016: On this very memorable day I got sick and I have a terrible fever and cold and it's going on for a week. I shivered and I got sick. I have take too many medicine and going to clinic too many times until I was sent to hospital queen. Elizabeth 2, HQ and got admitted there for 5 days.  I got no one by my side. No body taking care of me and I was there by myself.  Gladly there is a few visitor, my boss my relative.


It turn out I got gastrointestinal it's a poisoning from stomach and involve vomit and visit Birit. I lost a lot of weight and thank god I recover with antibiotic. My blood test came out with plenty of bacteria. I guest it had something to do with stress level, eating habit and that makes me going down.

Why is everyone joining unduk ngadau, beauty pageant in Sabah

3rd May 2020

Hello good morning and welcome back to my blog..  Today topic is gonna be a little bit interesting because it's gonna be the hot topic since this is the month of harvest festival every May of the year. Every beautiful girl from all the district and village will show them self to compete the unduk Ngadau competition, fighting for the winning position and get to the state level.

Why everybody so obessed with Unduk Ngadau? Well I could be one of the obsseser though,  haha.

Of course this event has taken place since 1960s until 2019 and this is one of the symbolism event to respect and in memoir rememberance the spirit of huminodun. Since she was selfless and sacrificed  herself for the people of her village to continue their life peacefully with plenty of blessing food and water.. Beside there will be Bobohizan from differ ethnic doing the thanks giving ritual to the spirit of paddy in the KDCA hall. 

Somehow,  this competition is a platform or a place for someone who like to explore themself,  put themself out of comfort zone,  learn public speaking,  socializing, practicing interpersonal management, be confident, be beautiful, and learn to groom themself and appreciate each other instead of all the negative vibes from the netizen.

It's a good thing though because everybody will start Appreciate and understand their own mother tongue language. It's an advantage to those who speak everyday at home.  While it's a challenge and oppurtinity  to those who learn and master the mother tougue language which could be go listed endlessly. More then 35 ethnicity languages. Since the new generation is struggling to learn because the parent S no longer emphasize the importance of knowing the mother tougue or practice it at home. But many NGOs is doing their parts by opening schools and some school teach this subject to the children. Even at university have this course to attend.

That's all for today,  and keep supporting all the contestant stop judging and start embrace the culture.. In the end it's not about winning but it's about creating memories, preserving the traditional culture and language, and rebuild self confidence in the better state. See you next time.. Brousur..

First of all welcome back to this blog as I love to write and hate to talk..  So here I am writing thoughts and feelings.. It's like an open diary...  Lucky those who would read.. Haha.. Because it's gonna be boring..

Of course everyone was not going anywhere since 18/3/2020 as restricts by the law and the spreadious disease.. But that won't end the life of someone instead it's a gift from god to be more decent about life.  Purpose of life and think straight. Why Jesus god put us in all this  test?  Number one is He wants us to spent time more with Him.  Pray With Him to safe the world with prayer.

Of course, besides that we all would get these precious chance to spent time with kids and families and cook more homemade meal instead of frequented fast-food and eating out. Im really thankful to these lock down..

Next is,  we must be very tired of sitting in the house doing the same thing and indoor excercise. I used to be outdoor active person. Ever since married with family and get commuted with jobs o spend less time to workout doing outdoor.. But I'm going to love myself and do more exercise.. Because it's fun and the body would be happy. During this time I do it very seldom and I get bored easily with work out I may tried it again tomorrow.

Don't forget to always pray eat and love..  And happy fasting to Muslim relative and friends and enjoy these two more weeks lock down in peace. Just be frugal but more generous to people. Peace you all.  bye see ya soon..

Oh yeah, above is the game that i just achieve my new personal best...

Grow stronger and gratitude always

One thing for sure, life is cycle and happen for a reason. If you got a bad day at work. They must have been through tough time at home or by their bosses. But let's stop the cycle at yourself and spread good vibes. Can't change a moulded stone to be shining armour, but can make use of it to sharpen the sword that needed to fight in future. Why need to be so sad or stress of life if we can be happy anytime any where..
