Paris : pros and cons

Paris is beautiful!

Especially at night!

The roads are well planned. The buildings have the same designs. The city is full of cafes and you can take long leisurely walks everywhere.

But the prices are high. The transportation system can be complicated especially to those who have just arrived.
I like what I see but I miss my rice. I miss the comfortable feeling I have when I go home late at night. I miss my comfort zone.

I love Paris but I think that it is better to visit it if you are with somebody. To appreciate it's beauty with the company of another person, your family, a friend or your husband.

Paris, my dream city. Yet, not really. I will explain. Later on.

Hi Jen, I'm looking forward to hearing about your Paris adventure. I am sure that you will return wiser, richer, fuller. And it won't be because of the place per se. But the experience of being on your own, trying new things, surviving the unfamiliar. Can't wait to see you again.:-)

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
