Nick Vujicic

Complaints after complaints.


We are never satisfied with what we're blessed with, let alone be thankful with every little thing we take for granted.

We bitch about our miserable, monotonous lives, we moan about our dead end jobs, we cry about our little so-called failures, we scream about our enemies attacking us.

We're able to feed ourselves, clean ourselves and most of all, do anything with our abilities.

And we're the people who constantly say, 'We CAN'T do it". "It's TOO hard". "It's impossible."


What the hell would we do if we're born without arms and legs like this young man?


A smiling baby, despite his lack of reason to.

He's not only able to take care of himself, he's now motivating more of us, 'abled' people out there, despite his disability.


Preaching to us, with his bible

Looks like we're more disabled than him!
I'm ashamed of myself.
Please visit his official website for his miracle works.

First born child into his devout Serbian Christian family, Nick Vujicic was born in Sunnybank, Brisbane, Australia, limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Initially his parents were devastated, however Nick turned out to be otherwise perfectly healthy.
His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. One such hardship was not being able to attend a mainstream school because of his
physical disability, as the law of Australia required, even though he was not mentally impaired. During his schooling, the laws were changed, and Nick was one of the first disabled students to be migrated to a mainstream school. He learned to write using the two toes on his left "foot", and a special device that slid onto his big toe to grip. He also learned to use a computer and type using the "heel and toe" method (as demonstrated in his speeches). He can also throw tennis balls and answer the phone (also demonstrated in speeches).
Being bullied at his school, Nick grew extremely depressed, and by the age of eight, started contemplating
suicide. After begging God to grow arms and legs, Nick eventually began to realize that his accomplishments were inspirational to many, and began to thank God he was alive. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and eventually starting his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. - from Wikipedia

Nick Vujicic is a giant of a man

We should learn from this man not to take our gifts for granted.

Joke of the day

An office employee was moving, so her colleagues decided to throw her a going away party.
The colleagues ordered a cake from Walmart.
The conversation with the Walmart employee taking the order is summarized below:

Walmart Employee: "Hello dis be Walmarts, how can I heps you?"
Customer: "I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "Whatcha want on dis cake?"
Customer: “‘Best Wishes Suzanne’ and underneath that ‘We will miss you’.”

This really happened.

Prayer for Baby Patz

Lately, the inconsistent weather is to be blamed somehow for the long queues in local clinics and hospitals. Everyone seems to be falling ill and I've been under the weather too. My tonsils were swelling and fever came and go but that's nothing compared to HYB baby Pat's continuous series of illnesses. Since returning from her hometown after her late mother's passing, she had been attacked by nasty viruses which caused her to be really sick for about 2 mths now.
Nagging fever which comes and goes, nasty sorethroat, coughs, diarrhea and just yesterday, she had a really bad gastric pain early in the morning which resulted in vomitting anything that goes into her poor, little mouth. Eefu had been suggesting for her to go temples to be blessed and the SS gals, Shin and Sann are assigned for this task. We, HYB are really worried for baby Pat's health.
Here, I would like to dedicate a prayer and I urge you all to pray along with me so that she'll get better soon.
Dear Father God,
I commit Pat to you, dear Father, for in your Hands, nothing is impossible. Lay your healing spirit on her, Lord, so she may be protected from all evils and viruses which harm her physically and mentally. God, please give her a layer of Your divine 'antibodi' so she'll be healthy and happy as always for she's been trying hard to be her happy self despite all the misfortunes that happened to her. I pray to you God, for your healing power be upon her as she needs Your blessings and protection at this difficult time. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
