gabrielutp Depends on what is the matter, some things are better to talk about when face to face. Text and calls can be quite confusing sometimes especially when comes to serious stuff like conflicts or serious discussions.

gabrielutp Normally I will ask " Why do you want to know?" while smiling. Or just say " Let's not discuss about that for the moment.". Sometimes people just wish to get close to us, but there are some who just wish to get the information for sake of being a busy body....

gabrielutp It's good to invest with your extra cash, but be very careful as nowadays there are a lot of scams online. My suggestion will be perhaps you can invest in PTC such as flash ads or wordlinx. Or, buying unit trust will be quite a good idea considering the...

gabrielutp I normally use hand if I go out with my click of friends. But if going out with elders or people that I am not so close with, I will use fork and knife cause they are using as well. Nevertheless, I still prefer to use hands, more convenient and easy. :)

Is stillness and quiet important when seeking God?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 22 Aug 09

In Psalm 46 verse 10 we are told, "Be still and know that I am God". Likewise in 1St Kings chapter 19 and verse 12 Elijah finds God in "a still small voice". What important do you put on silence when seeking God?

silence

gabrielutp Yea, I believe it is important. If it is not quiet, I think we cannot really concentrate right? Our thinking and concentration will be affected. I believe God deserves our 100% attention. :)

gabrielutp I am using Canon EOS 450D to capture pictures. The lenses I use are EF 50mm, EFS 18-55 mm IS and EF 75-300 mm USM. They produce acceptable pictures even though not very high quality pictures like those using L lenses. :)
