YA are People Too.

So. I need a haircut.

Aside from that I can begin talking about my day.

I woke up at 7. Watched anime. Ate breakfast. Then I went on a day long journey into the life of a YA. Basically I hung out with CW all day. First we helped DZ move into CW/JS's house. Then I helped CW in trimming C(?) and E(?) hedges. Then we had Shwarma and returned CW's boss' truck. Then we played video games. Then we played Monopoly Deal. Then we went to worship practice.

Everytime we play Grace Like Rain it is like the most amazing song ever.

So, ya. Doesn't my day sound normal..? I guess YA are people too... or maybe I'm just turning into a YA..?

Ewww. I have to work tommorow...

RL is going to buy a laptop woth money from a loan he got from the bank to pay for food this year... Good planning eh? xP

Ttyl.

Compassion

YA was cool today.

I watched anime.

I ate instant noodles and chef boyardi (except I added curry to both of them. xP curry. Mmmmmmm)

I just played tetris on facebook. I'm tired now.

I think I'm helping DZ move tommorow morning at 8... so I gtg sleep...

Me and RL got most of the supplies [for the camping trip] at zellers in like 30 minutes, so ya... 1/3 of my responsabilities are done.

Skip Beat made me think of how I'll never get to audition for another highschool play again again.... T.T I miss highschool drama... Oh, but I get to act in the VBS in brookyln. I should start memorizing my lines... I'm the main character, supposedly.

Sketchy Medical Treatment

So. Ya.

I will start this post by again saying that my day was boring. However there was a few interesting things.

I woke up. Made kinda tasteless scrambled eggs. Watched anime. Called work. Watched anime. Did laundry. Watched anime. Made soy/lemon/chicken/ginger/curry rice using ingredients in my house. It was pretty good. Shoyu wa oishii desu yo. Watched anime. Cleaned the kitchen, mostly because my brother has been cleaning the house because he wants money... Watched anime. Ate supper. Watched anime. Did a bible study. Read memory verses. Watched an anime movie which ended in a cliffhanger....... There's going to be another movie eventually...

So. Yesterday my mom told me that when I wake up this morning to call work and tell them I couldn't go. She wanted me to take a sick day which I had never done before. I called. Asked to speak to my boss. I told him I would be unable to work today because I sprained my ankle and he thanked me for calling. I found it strange that it was so easy... I hope they found someone to cover my shift....... I would have gone in if they needed me......

So, ya. In my room there is a vent for A/C and heating. Since my house is always freezing, the vents are always pumping out cold air, right? So I covered the vent with a shirt and put my foot under it. xP This is the medical treatment for my foot. Cold air. I have yet to see any actual physician about my 'sprained' ankle, but it feels better I guess... It's more blue/purple then yesterday, but less swollen and more moveable. There must be a lot of blood in my foot to bruise all the way around from the top of my toes to my ankle on all sides... ... it's kinda gross thinking about all that blood in my foot.......

Ya. Lunch was tasty. I sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil then added curry powder, cayenne pepper, cumin and ginger powder (it would have been better with real ginger, but I didn't have any...). Then I added the rice with chicken stock, soy sauce and water (only because I didn't have enough chicken stock...). I added fresh chives from our backyard (we planted them like 5 or more years ago and some are still growing each year...) and half a lemon of lemon juice. I also kinda kept adding the spices and soy... a lot more of each. Hehe. It was tasty.

I admit I've been watching too much anime. I just have too much free time... and I could make some excuses like today was a sick day I'm supposed to do nothing and give medical treatment to my injury, which I can do while watching anime (My foot is cold... >.>), but ya... It is a bit too much...

I finished reading 'Mere Christianity'. It is a good book, but I don't read much so I don't know how good my review really is. As I was reading I deffinately agreed with almost everything if not everything he was saying. The point of the book, which was originally a series of radio talks was to explain clearly, to the war stricken British people, what Christians believe. So although it is very good at explaining, it doesn't really go very deep into things, or say anything that would be very controversial and he starts off in a very roundabout way of saying things. I found his explainations very good in general, but I don't really like history / war (which many of his comparisons were centered on) so I was kinda... okay I'm indifferent about them because they were good examples. So, ya, I'd recommend it, but it's deffinately aimed at beginners, although I suppose if you have become 'advanced' in your faith this could always backup the foundation or something..?

I'm gonna sleep.

Feet

So. Today was rather boring. I cleaned some of my room. I did a bible study. I watched anime. I ate leftovers.

My foot is quite swollen and blue and round. I have yet to be to a hospital.

I went to the prayer meeting tonight.

I'm being told to ice my foot right now...

Summer Summary

So, I have this friend who went to Japan and then China.

She wanted a full update off what I've done this summer, but apparently my blog is blocked in china..? so I had to email her a summary. It was also a response to her email so theres a couple other things too. xP

"blocked from china..?!? That's random.....

So, this summer, starting from the last week of June. So, I go to church and everything, so like I go to the Youth group and stuff, but now that I've graduated I get to go to the Young Adults (University Students) group. And during the summer I get to go to both. Also during the summer there are prayer meetings every week instead of only at the end of every month. Also in August I'm going on a missions trip to Brooklyn to help at a Vacation Bible School, so I've been reading more and doing more studies and memorizing more and praying more and stuff, so ya. That's been cool.

So, ya. Now that I've graduated and I havn't really seen anyone, I've been hanging out with the University guys. The last week of June he had something planned like every night, but I had work and softball and stuff, so I couldn't go, so I was going to tell my boss I didn't want to work night shifts anymore.

When I went to work to tell him, I found he was on vacation and the next two week's schedule was up. I had like 10/14 nights working... >.> I was kinda more upset then I should have been about that...

So I worked. A Lot. I even switched some shifts so that I could go to YA and YF, so I was working like 4-11 Fridays and 7-3 mornings on Saturday for two weeks.... xP

I told my boss I wanted to work a bit less. I was actually just working a lot because a guy quit, a guy was on vacations and we actually did need another guy to begin with...

During those two weeks, my friend decided he was moving out next year and I kinda wanted to too, so we began looking for a place.

I then realized how much it would cost and how I'd have to work and study and stuff. I should work as much as I can during the summer! Oops... I told my boss I wanted to work less... xP

I already have 2 months rent saved. and if I keep my scholarship I have enough saved for tuition already. I think its gonna be fun to live on my own (well, with 4 other guys, but still, not with my parents / brother) I'll get to shop for my own food, cook my own food, actually do my own chores and stuff.

So, ya we found this place on Woodroofe. It was cool, the other 3 guys were cool, but like, it's twice as far from Carleton as my house already is, and we'd have to take 2 buses to get to carleton...

The other place was this guy from church's house. It's behind the Farmboy on Merivale, so it's not that far and I can keep my jobs, if I want to. I kinda want a new job though... I've been there 2 years and I only make 15 cents more then minimum... And my other job is barely a job... While I'm at the courts I've just been reading. It's like 3 hours each week and there's almost nothing to do.

Ya. Today, just because I was thinking about them, I spent most of my day making cabbage rolls. lol... I had to go buy stuff, I had to cook it. In fact, it's still cooking. xP Half an hour left... I got the recipe from here: http://www.soscuisine.com/en/recipes/view/cabbage-rolls?sos_l=en&gpr_id=9432 and only changed it minimally because I had extra beef. I got like 784 grams or something. When I put it in to bake it looked tasty. Hehe. I burned some of it... I think the garlic got a little burned, and some of the beef got burned to the bottom of the pot, but I just didn't use the burned bit.

Ya... I don't really know how to cook, but I want to, so this was fun. xP It smells good. I'm actually in the kitchen as I'm typing this. I brought my laptop with the website up into the kitchen... xP Tomato juice is dripping out of the baking pan though, so that its going to burn in the oven... >.> I put too much in I guess.....

So, ya... I think I might get my G1 soon. xP maybe... I'm trying to make my friend get his at the same time, but he keeps procrastinating and stuff... His older sister (20*) doesn't have her G1 either and neither does my brother (16) so we kinda want to get them before our siblings do.

You should watch Pale Cocoon, Shinigami no Ballad, Howl's Moving Castle and Eve no Jikan. xP (OVA, 6 episodes, movie and 6 half-length episodes respectively)

D.Fa"

Ya. Now... the cabbage rolls were good and I'll upload photos... Hehe. But I kinda sprained my ankle playing tennis, I think, and so I'm going to sleep now....

Today's bible study was cool.

"Hey AL. I don't like spraining ankles / wrists... It happens far too often. I don't have a girlfriend, but RL says Eclipse was a baaaad movie. xP"

Until The Whole World Hears

So.

I had work from 7-2. It was almost entirely just taking fruit from the cooler and putting it in the displays. for 7 hours... xP

So, I've been thinking that if I'm going to live at JK's house, I should apply at Farm Boy because the house is immediately behind it and because I would like a change of pace, you know..? But working at independant wouldn't be all that bad. It's only a few blocks further to walk.

Ya. Me and RL can't really cook. xP On Sunday (was that yesterday...?) RL's parents drove us to JK's house after church. I think his family is cool. They sincerely care about what happens to him. They are kinda worried that neither of us know how to cook though. xP

I want to learn how to make cabbage rolls. xP Wikipedia..? [No not really...]

I emailed the owner of the other house we were looking at. It was really awkward typing that email. It was like dumping someone... Like, I'm sorry, it's not your house, it's me. We should see other people... except not actually, but in reality that's the idea... I'm seeing another house and he's looking for other tenants... He was a good guy too, so... and as far as I can tell, RL hasn't emailed him, even after having told him a couple weeks ago that he'd make a decision within a week. xP

So, ya...

At work tonight (6-9 at the tennis courts) I read quite a bit. I only have like 20 pages left. It's a really good book. C.S. Lewis uses many interesting and new metaphors and applies them to many things. Like as a Christian we are to become like Jesus, but we can't do that if we still want to live the way we always have. Sure we may originally just want to get rid of one sin which was obvious, but once it's gone we think we're fine to continue our lives. We are like eggs. We should grow into birds and fly. We can't do so if we want to remain an egg. Eggs can't fly very well... Once you ask God to make you better he won't stop until you are perfect.

I was reading a chapter on faith in the third book. There's two kinds of faith, which I now poorly summarize. Sticking to your beliefs and trusting in God. Before going into detail about the second one he started doing a hypothetical situation and refered to another chapter, but the point is that I know very well the situation. The situation where you try (with your own strength) to adhere to Christian teachings, mainly stop sinning, and fall flat on your face and possibly even sink lower than you were to begin with. "No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good."

So, ya. I just did a bible study about making Him lord of your daily work. I suppose today is a good day for that, but also I kinda ended up procrastinating this because of work... and because I had to eat something nutritional for lunch because I had only had like doughnuts and nachos yesterday... So I had like a litre and a half of vegetable soup. xP But I digress, the study and just how I've been thinking about work lately and how work has been different lately got me thinking how these jobs are actually really cool in how flexible the scheduling is, how enjoyable they actually are, how they actually are giving me enough money, etc... so I should work more whole heartedly because sometimes my attitude at work isn't great...

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will recieve an inheiritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Ya. I'm gonna sleep now.

Garden Glen Private

So. I woke up today and went to church by bus. I actually read my new testament on the bus today because I didn't have time before leaving. John 16 I think.

The Brooklyn meeting was kinda unorganized, but I don't blame CW. He was doing as he was instructed. I just don't think CL should be in charge of a group of 10 grade 1-2s by herself...... xP... I think the adults need to take more responsability. xP...

Worship was cool.

She looked cute today... like when I saw her it was like wow... what do I say..? I didn't say anything to her...

After church we went to JK's house. This is where RL decided he was going to live. It's pretty cool, but the walls are all scuffed up... xP

I ended up running home then going to work immediately, but one thing that made me really happy today was this phone. Yesterday I put some songs on it and although it's way too loud for normal listening or listening in private, if you don't care who hears and are in a noisy environment it's so cool. xP I had it like full blast in my back pocket / hand while I was going home and after 7pm (when gospel groove comes on... >.>) I was listening to it instead of CHRI.

Work was kinda boring. I was done everything by 8ish, so I just cleaned for the last 2 hours. xP No one ever actually seriously cleans, so I end up doing it.

I have just uploaded 100 more pictures.

I'm gonna sleep and wake up at like 5:45....

Oyasumi.

Supporting Role.

Hiya.

So, today I finished watching A Very Potter Sequel. Sometimes the musical is rather crude... they swear a bit, actually as a joke sometimes... and 'Mrs' Umbridge is an annoying character... but I suppose she's supposed to be... Ya... the original was funnier and less immature I suppose... Draco only rolled once!!! >.< disappointing....

Having no texting sucks... xP Today was some sortof community fair near OCAC and RL told me about it and said we should go together, but because my phone isn't working he couldn't just text me and so things messed up and I didn't go... whatever...

I saw a watermelon carved today it was so amazing!! I saw it on msn video, but it was pretty cool. go see one yourself though because I can't find the one I saw on youtube...

Anyways... Ya. I was on praise team this week. Singing with AL (AL's brother) is cool and all, but it means I can never just sing the melody, because it wouldn't be perfectly in unison all the time and octaving it would be super lame and sometimes very difficult... so I have to find a good harmony... but somemtimes it's not easy, which is when I'd just sing the melody, which wasn't usually a problem, because guys sing in a different octave then girls, but we're both singing the same octave...

Ya... I'm not sure I could be worship leader at this point. It would be cool and all, but I play a much more supportive role in most things. Like, I play bass and sing harmonies. These are easily improvised (now that I know how... xP) where as if I was leading, I should a) play guitar (steareotypically) and b) sing the melody (ie know the song...)

YF was okay. When JS is teaching he kinda, isn't teaching... It's more like forcing us to do all the work. I can understand getting us to discuss, but making us give all the answers is a bit much... like if someone says something, he could say something about it instead of just asking another question about the answer... especially when you have a group of kids with lower then average attention span and lower then average enthusiasm / energy, but ya, other then that it was cool. I also feel that he's trying to plan it too much, but whatever...

So, ya. ttyl I think I'm gonna try to bus to church tommorow morning.

D.Fa

"Hey AL. It was good talking to you today. Or at least hearing your voice. (not meant in a creepy way, just saying I wasn't really having the conversation...) I'll see you soon. I guess. I still don't have a girlfriend."

23.7.10

Sequels are Usually not as Good...

Ya, I really did next to nothing but work today.. xP... like 10-6:30... I kinda slept in too... I actually worked longer then I was supposed to because I lost track of time while icing cakes in bakery. AS is funny... She just kept laughing at my attempts to ice cakes. xP not normal laughing either... like maniacle... xP

Ya. I had only eaten like 4 chocolate chip cookies for breakfast, so when I got home I was hungry.... xP

A Very Potter Sequel is out on Youtube! I watched the first act tonight. It deffinately is different then the first musical, but really, they did use a lot of material in the first one, so there isn't too much to work with.

I got MSN yesterday.

I kinda wasted some time yesterday and today learning how to read hangul (korean characters). I can get most of it now..? ya... xP

ttyl.

D.Fa

"Hey AL. Did you go to YA..? I don't have a girlfriend."

22.7.10

Nine. One. One.

So, ya.

Today started off with work. I got a lot done, so the last two hours because both me and the other guy were bored, I went to work in Bakery. xP It's fun doing something different every once in a while.

I proceeded to do not much, including mowing the lawn and PvZ and Naruto and starting a bible study.

I then went to Tennis work. Not busy until the NCTA matches, but even then just full. I read another 40 pages or so. "He [the Christian] does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us." That line was powerful when I read it.

lol. When was the first time you called 911..? Mine was today. I thought it would be way more stressful and that piles of siren-bearing vehicles would rush over in a panic. No. Not really. The person I was speaking to was very calm and I don't think any vehicle showed up, at least for the 1.5 hours after I called that I was still there. KK (who is a hilarious person to play tennis with, or even just watch play tennis) told me to call 911 because of some weed smoking teenagers on a nearby park bench.

Ya. That was odd.

Ya. I have a lot of pictures to upload to facebook, so it may take a while....... I have like another 1300 left........

Ttyl. I guess.

D.Fa

"Hey AL. It's nearly August. *gasp* I still don't have a girlfriend."

21.7.10

Redeeming the Times

So. What did I do today..?

My phone got messed up. I decided not to go to a risk party that I had previously decided to go to. I went to another mall. I went to the prayer meeting. I watched a few episodes of another anime. I did a bible study on making God lord over your money. I wrote down all my contact info from my phone onto a sheet of paper... >.> PvZ... XP it's getting boring though, so I'm nearly done with it I think...

...

So, ya. My phone got messed up. I was just texting AdSB about the RISK party and suddenly my phone gets messed up... When I click send the screen freezes, the phone turns off, the phone turns on, then all the texts in my inbox / outbox are deleted. Also from then on whenever someone texted me the text would be blank, but in the subject would be the first like 10 characters of the actual message... This is a pain becuase I text a lot... So, I called Samsung, I called Koodo, I went to Billings Bridge, they took my phone and gave me a loaner. The loaner doesn't have a keyboard... and i think the camera is worse, but its better then nothing I guess...

...

I started watching Skip Beat as my extra anime. It's kinda girly... This girl who was madly in love with this guy went with him to tokyo to help him with his singing career. One day she went to see him after work and she overheard him saying how she meant nothing more to him then a maid. She had been living for him. Paying for his hotel room and all his living expenses. She then swore revenge on him. The only way to do this is to get into the show business. So she is trying really hard, but she doesn't really have any conventional talent... xP

Anyways, I went to the prayer meeting. This week me and HO were the only english congregation members there. We prayed with Pastor AN. Pastor AN is cool. He prayed for us. "Spiritual Father" "Phophetic Voice"

I really do like the prayer meetings, but I can't really sight sign, I don't always have something to say, and I kinda don't know the chinese congregation very well, so I'm kinda shy around them...

xP... Whenever I'm in a situation where I don't really know many people I will cling onto someone I know and just follow them around.

Ya, the whole night there were thunder clouds. It was cool how we could just pray while the storms were thundering outside. It wasn't raining near us, but we could still hear and see it.

I got a drive home with HO. Everytime me and him are alone he ends up talking way more then I do. Like there are a number of things I could have said in relation to what he said, but I just didn't and he kept talking. ... Like he asked if I'd ever thought about reading the whole bible cover to cover. I said I thought of it and one time I read Genesis and part of Deuteronomy then stopped... clearly this made him think I wasn't reading everyday. I didn't tell him that I've been reading a chapter of the gospels everyday for a couple months...

Ya... sometimes I just don't say enough... but i'm not very good with words...

...

Whatever.

I'll talk to you later..........

D.Fa

"Hey AL. ... I don't have a girlfriend yet."

20.7.10

No Cold Water

So, ya.

I kinda told you everything I did today already, so I don't know what to tell you. So here are some generic and semi-random / semi-unnessesary things that I havn't told you yet...

1. You know how in the summer it's hot... and sunny... and you can see reflections in the pavement because the air is hot..? Well you know that buzzing you hear..? I thought that was caused by the hot air for the longest time. Just the sound of summer, you know..? No... T.T it's actually just cicadas, which are pretty cool.

2. My shower currently has no cold water availability. This is because the cold water knob is kinda broken. This is actually a real pain... but my brother doesn't mind... >.> he likes hot water...

3. I suck at English. This includes spelling. Don't blame me for bad spelling please. I just don't care that much. If it sounds right, it's good enough. xP

4. Last week when we went to St. Laurent to watch Shrek 4, I got a drive home from DZ. I accidentally left it in his car. I didn't care much because it was a 5$ umbrella, so I just didn't mention it. Today, I got a drive home from Silvercity Gloucester from him. It was still there. xP

Ya. DZ doesn't talk much and I don't talk much to people that I don't really know, so the drive was kinda awkward. He was using his GPS and he had his ipod plugged in. It has a very aclectic collection of songs. Including last time I've heard k-pop, pop, rock, classical, background music from video games (including maplestory... lol...), and like other random stuff.....

The first song today played twice. The whole time I was like, "ummm is this Big Bang or not....? it really sounds like them...." I never asked him. I kinda wanted to look through his ipod and put on "only look at me" by Tae Yang, but I feel like you need to know someone before you ask to look through their ipod.

It turns out it was Big Bang.



Big Bang rocks.

Also tonight I was talking to CW and he said I might be able to work with him sometimes. I had been thinking about asking him for a while because it sounds cool and is not detail oriented. As far as I can tell it's mostly a physical job. CW does 'landscaping'. Whatever that entails. xP I think it sounds cool, but he never really talks in detail about his job.

Ya.

Ttyl.

D.Fa

"Hey AL. Have you ever snuck into a theatre for free before..? No..? Good. Apparently you get caught and kicked out if you do. You should probably not take your girlfriend/boyfriend on a 'free' date to watch a movie. That would be embarassing... but I suppose you'd have to have a gf/bf to do so... I don't have a gf."

Anime

Ok. So...

Today I didn't have any work, at either job. This is because I only work like once a week at the courts and because I kinda told my boss I only wanted to work about 4 times a week at YIG. This was just before I realized that I need to work as much as possible during the summer so I don't need to work as much during the school year...

So, ya. I spent the day watching anime... XP I watched bleach 280, then I watched the whole series of "Eve no Jikan." xP........ The show is about a futuristic Japan where androids have just come into common use and there's this cafe where androids are behaving like humans, with humans. This isn't nessesaraly a bad thing though as the protagonists come to realize. I really enjoyed it and think NC would too. xP

Now I am at Silvercity Gloucester waiting for JS, RL and whoever else JS invited that can come. We're gonna watch Despicable Me. This place is huge btw.

ttyl

D.Fa

P.S. Eve no Jikan is only 6 episodes long and only like 105 minutes total. just in case you thought I wasted all day doing that. xP

19.7.10

Repetition.

I don't really like getting into a regular schedule. I find regular schedules way too boring. xP Spontaneity makes me happy. The only problem with spontaneity is that some things don't get done spontaneously... xP

I really enjoy taking trips. It causes the daily schedule to be put on hold for a week or so and when I get back I have to do some catch up, but it isn't a regular schedule again until I've caught up.

Anyways, the point is that my life is too repetative right now... work is basically a bunch of small repetative things and to top it off, I've been there for two years. I got a raise last week though... =D ... to 15 cents above minimum... >.>

Ya...

Today I woke up, eventually, went to work, went home, went to work (I was going to go straight from work, but it rained for a couple minutes, so I waited half an hour), dried the courts, played with my brother and then I've been on my laptop for a while.

Recently I've been watching "Shinigami no Ballad" as my extra anime. There are only 6 episodes, but it's a really cool show. It's about this shinigami who is kinda nosy and helps people with their lives.

At work I heard this song on the radio while I was preparing the lettuces (72 heads of iceburg... >.> so boring....).



Casting Crowns is a really cool band. If I ever end up going to Salem Storehouse (I've never gone, but AL has told me I should go...) then I'm gonna buy their CD.

So, ya... Ooooooh. So at the tennis courts people usually get there by bike. There wasn't any bike rack or anything before so people would have to bring them on to the courts, which is not allowed, or lock them to the fences, but there isn't that much room. A couple of days ago there appeared two new bike racks. I didn't think anyone had named them, so I took the initiative. xP



The one on the *looks at hands* left is the S.S. St. Laurier, and the one on the right is the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. There is nothing wrong with those names, is there..? What would you have named them..? My brother thought they were ridiculous names. "You can't just make up a saint..!" I never said I did... That's just his name.

So, ya...

ttyl.

"Hey AL, it's normal to name things you own, right? It's normal to name squirrels you see often, right..? It's normal to name inanimate objects, right.....? I don't have a girlfriend though."

18.7.10

Sleepy...

So, I woke up at 5 so I could go to work at 6. This was so that I would get enough work done by 9 that when I left for church the other guy would be okay until I got back at 2.

Ya... work before and after church... hehe.... not so fun.

Not much else today... grrrrr fillery one piece.... grrrrrr

A Nightmare

So... When was the last time you had a nightmare..?

If you asked me that yesterday I'd have to say something along the lines of "*shrug* idk..?"

In other words, I had a very vivid scary frightening nightmare last night... or actually, this morning, after I had already woke up... But then I went to sleep again... I woke up because, in my dream, my dad was like screeching at me... I should probably explain a little. I don't remember too much of the beggining, but the ending was very vivid...

My teeth felt loose. I tend to have this fear of my teeth falling out apparently... so ya, a little later, like my whole top jaw's teeth were pulled out because I touched them again... like they fell out as one piece and then separated into teeth. There was no blood or anything, but it was so scary. I was like feeling my teeth to see if they were actually gone. Like I could actually feel that they weren't there... I don't think I've ever actually felt something while dreaming........... Then I was freaking out, like, omg I need to talk to a dentist and an orthodontist or something and get new teeth because this is so scary.... Then like my dad walked in and like I couldn't talk. and then I couldn't understand what he was saying. Then I fell to the floor... like omg.... this is worse then death.....

pop. I'm awake. *reaches for teeth* Oh, thank god that was a dream......... wait what time is it..... clock reads "7:05", ie actually 6:55. I have to be at work for 7...

To top it off, I couldn't really breathe... like only shallow breaths.There's this like pain in my chaest when I breathe deeply... pneumonia...? I thought my apendix was exploding for like half an hour... but told myself to stop thinking about it. IT IS NOT MY APENDIX! I told myself. I feel that if I think I have anything I'll actually get it... so I always tell myself its actually nothing, deal with it, and then just move on, in pain / sickness.

So, ya... apparently I threw out my knife yesterday, by accident. So I needed another one. I was asking if there was an extra around and my boss walks in. He said there weren't any extra right now, so he lent me his............... I think I threw it out... >.< I havn't told him yet...... >.<

Tennis, PvZ, anime, bible study....

Sleep plz.

"Hey AL, I'm gonna go sleep now... I don't have a girlfriend."

16.7.10

Zombies are Braindead.

All in all today was messed up. xP

I woke up at 6 to rush off to work to find out I didn't have work today, but stayed 4 hours anyway... This is good for a number of reasons: I get money for rent (eventual rent), get practice doing morning duties (because on Sunday I will only have a couple hours to do it... >.>) and also ... idk...

Anyways. After work I went home, had a shower, ate lunch, watched anime, played wayyyyy too much PvZ, like waaaaay too much..... then we were going to go get my brother from summer school and go watch a movie for his and my mom's birthday. My brother doesn't always explain things and apparently is a good kid in school because he puts his cell phone in his bag and actually pays attention, so although we thought he was just not answering us because he usually doesn't, he was actually just being good.

Anyways the point is, my brothers actions (past and present) made my dad really mad... we didn't see the movie and ya.... me and my mom went to red lobster.

[I just thought of this one. My brother got home at like 10, though, so the sun kinda went down... and my dad is already asleep... I'm not angry though. KFA's always like this. xP

Ephisians 4:26-27
"In your anger do not sin.": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.]

Ya.......... I'm gonna go do a bible study.... (last second... kinda... hehe... waaay too much PvZ... >.>) then i'm gonna sleep...

Peace.

D.Fa

"Hey AL, sometimes it seems like these updates are really just a paragraph from one of my normal blog posts, but usually a positive one. Shouldn't these updates actually update you of something related to why I am updating you..? Playing way too much PvZ can deffinately contribute to not having a girlfriend though, so... ya.... I don't have a girlfriend."

15.7.10

A Light in the Darkness

So. ya...

Today was another day. From work to more work. xP bad planning kinda, but whatever.

I woke up at 7. Played some PvZ. Did a Bible Study about Jesus' Lordship in our lives. He is Lord over the dead and the living, whether you like it or not.

Work was a bit different today. I have worked there for just over two years, but I really havn't made any new friends. I never really talk to anyone very long and some people I don't talk to at all normally. The one exception to that is people working in Bakery because they are right beside Produce and will have a shift at the same time, but ya, generally I don't talk to people and I get my work done. Today, however, there were actually 5 people in Bakery at once (two people were in training...) and because I normally talk to this one girl, I ended up talking to most of them. Especially because there was so little to do...

Also, becuase of the conflict between work and church in the schedule for Sunday I had to tell my boss which church I go to the other day. He was also at work while I was today. I usually listen to CHRI and it's often a sermon during the day, so as he was quartering watermelon, he was joking like "What are we listening to..? You're not trying to convert me or something! I'm already an outstanding Anglican citizen." This was kinda awkward... xP

Later, one of the trainees asked me if I was a christian. She apparently really likes CHRI. She goes to Bethel Pentecostal and has been for 30 years. When I said I go to OCBC she was like "I've heard of it" and I was thinking "..? really..?" because like we don't even have our own building, and it's kinda far away, so there must be a deeper reason then just "Oh, I saw a sign..!" so ya... She was saying how at the end of the day she usually has to ask for forgiveness for some of the things she says / does at work because it is a rather vulgar place... xP I mean, most of the employees are like 20 year olds and tell dirty jokes and listen to HOT89.9...

Ya. The radio playing CHRI in the corner of the backroom while everyone is messing around is like a light in darkness.

Micah 7:8
Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness the Lord will be my light.

So, ya. At my other job I read some of this book "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis. Apparently I am making minimum wage at that job. I thought I wasn't. I diddn't care because its practically not work.

Ya.

D.Fa

"Hey AL. I heard this song on the radio (not the radio in the backroom, the one in bakery) while I was putting out apples. I really like how this song sounds, even if it isn't the best technically, I mean the band doesn't make sense and their rapping isn't great... So, ya... I don't have a girlfriend."

14.7.10

Doggy Poo

Ok. So... Yesterday I watched this Korean Claymation Movie called "Doggy Poo".

With just that much information you probably don't know why I'm telling you this. Actually it was a pretty cool movie. It was kinda depressing at first (and I think it was a manipulative dandelion) but the moral behind the story is really good. Actually, the moral was part of today's bible study.

Everyone has a different purpose. That is what Doggy Poo finds out.

But you can't just watch this movie immaturely, because the first couple minutes there's a dog, he goes to the bathroom, then a bird goes "ewww! you're doggy poo! gross!" ... >.>

There's even a lump of dirt that repents for both being mean to doggy poo and not helping a pepper plant grow in a year of drought and he ended up killing the plant. He thought he was going to die because he had fallen off the cart, but then after he had repented the farmer was coming back and saw him and picked him up and brought him back to the farm.

Anyways... you should watch it. It's pretty cool.

It's on anime crazy! xP http://www.animecrazy.net/doggy-poo-watch/

So, ya...

D.Fa

Banjo Kazooie FTW!

So, ya.

Today was relativley boring... I woke up at 6 to take out the garbage. I unfourtunately ended up back in bed until 10... not actually asleep, but ya...

I did a bible study on "false comparisons" this had to do with comparing to one another as the standard when the only real standard is your own faith. You can't compare with each other because we are all in a different stage in our walk, God has a different plan for each of us, and if we compare we can only feel inferior or superior which are both bad...

Romans 12:2

Do not conform any longer with the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will.

So, ya. Then I went out to track down this game I had played the other day. I went to futureshop, best buy, ebgames, toys'r'us, but I couldn't find it...

Then RL and I went to work to talk to the seafood manager. I had called work earlier to see if he was there. That was kinda awkward... So, ya.. it sounds like RL might get hired, but idk...

When I got home I went online to see how to get the game. It's called "Plants vs Zombies" it's pretty cool except for the fact it took over my mind for a little while because I wanted it sooooo badly.

Hehe. In the end I bought it online using my paypal account. You see, I don't have a credit card, so buying something online should be next to impossible for me. Luckily, last summer I had summer school (in an air conditioned school. xP). For summer school you register online and pay a deposit. At the end of the year it is given back. So I just happened to have 80$ in my account. Hehe.

So, now I own PvZ. I had to start over, but whatever. Now that I have it I don't have to play it right now. I have it. I can play when I want to / have time to.

I went to the weekly prayer meeting tonight. It was like 20 to 3; chinese vs english, but it was cool. My parents didn't want me bussing home though. JS an TM both biked though and everyone else I don't really know, so I had to bus, or walk, but walking from westboro to nepean is kinda far, so I chose bussing. I bussed from Dominion to Baseline, but the bus' ticket machine thing wasn't working, so it didn't cost me anything. I then walked from baseline. Just because. xP

I had brought three pages of memory verses, so as I walked home I read / memorized them aloud. There's one thing I was thinking about the past couple days... [did I mention this already..?]( Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart so that I might not sin against you.) I have been memorizing verses, but I've been putting them in my brain, not my heart... I told this to Pastor DB and he said that you have to pray about it (or something..? memorize prayerfully..?)

So, ya... the 117, 116 and 86 all passed me as I walked home, but the 86 passed me just as I was getting to Merivale, so like, I would have just been waiting at Baseline just as long as I had been walking, so what's the difference..? It was cool walking anyways.

Ya... ttyl.

We watched Shrek 4. It was pretty funny.

Then we went for dinner at the food court. lolz at the escalator.

We walked around Toys'r'us and then bought / played monopoly deal. which can be fun.

DZ drove the remaining 5 of us home.

I'm tired.

As we were waiting for the bus I took a few pictures.

After we were on the bus for a while at a stop a bunch of soaked people walk on... Umbrellas are ok.... I guess.

The puddles are huge. XP. The bus is throwing water to each side. It's rather funny. And RL is drinking water... XP.

ttyl.

D.Fa

"Cats and Dogs..?"

So.

JS has planned another fun event. Today we are watching a movie at St.Laurent.

My day started with a 4 hour training shift at work so that I know how to do the morning shifts. There was very little to do because yesterday while the trainee was making fruit salad for a long time I was filling up all the tables and counters.

So, ya. After that I did a study on "failure". Failure is not the end. God will bring you back to Him.

After that we went to try and get RL a job at my work. That went way faster then expected, so we left for St.Laurent early.

Did I mention it started pouring. I hadn't taken an umbrella. Hehe. But luckily I had to buy bus tickets at Zellers. It didn't start raining until I was in the store and then, after asking RL, I bought a 5 dollar umbrella.

I usually think umbrellas are a waste of time and that taking anything other then what is in your pockets is unnecesary. I have a cell phone, a pen, a pencil, an eraser, my wallet, my ipod and my glasses. >.>

Strike

So, ya.

Today was the first Sunday in a while that I didn't have work. It's nice not having to work imediately after church. The funny thing is that directly after church I ended up at work buying food to eat while watching the game... >.> The game was kinda boring... It ended 1-0 for Spain, as I'm sure you know, which upset a number of people I was watching with.

So, ya... I actually fell asleep yesterday in the middle of a bible study. I went over to lie on my bed and pray and after a little while I fell asleep, but I didn't notice until 3:38 am when I woke up and was like "Why am I lying on the bed like this..? (I was lying backwards on top of the sheets which is not how I normally sleep...) What time is it..?" Then I actually went to bed...

So, me and RL went to see a house today. It was cool. I want to see the other house RL has already seen. RL's dad wants us to live in the same house. He was talking to me about how hard first year is in comparison to High school. He made a number of hand gestures (well, actually just one, but he did it a number of times... xP).

I also nearly lost my phone, but apparently I have cool neighbours.

My blog is at http://incompletecomposition.blogspot.com it's really random and often not entertaining, but it has a lot of stuff about my life in the first number of posts although, now that I'm not in highschool they don't apply as much, some of them... I often ramble on about next to nothing, but some of it is pretty cool..? This coming from the author... XP....

[Imma do a Bible Study now. I'll post after it / tommorow..?

"Hey AL. YF might be cancelled for afew weeks... T.T More time to find a girlfriend..? or maybe I should do some things to actually make my life less disorganized, ie more organized..?"]

9.7.10

Independent Failure

So, ya.

I think you're all tired of hearing my schedule by now. So, I'll skip to the main points.

I'm getting better at Mad World. I also found out that the left hand for the verses is 2nd time only. xP, but that was never the really hard part... the chorus has the left hand doing quarter notes, while the right hand is syncapated and the two parts overlap (in terms of pitches) unless I octave them, but that would sound funny...

I made lunch again. Bsically the same, but with salsa (still no tomatoes) and an apple instead of cheese / crackers.

The bible study today was about Self-Dependence and relying on the Lord. How without Him you dry up spiritually, fight spiritual battles with worldly weapons (ie, because of this you fail...) and weaken your witness and service for Christ.

So, basically, for a long time I've felt like I'm not ready for baptism for one main reason, that I'm too weak and give into temptation too easily. I felt like until I was stronger (more 'self-controlled') I couldn't face God. So I'd always try to, on my own, resist temptation longer, but it never worked. These last few studies have been about fighting satan with the word and relying on the Lord.

John 15:5-6
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Apart from Jesus I cannot fight against temptation, I can do nothing. The branches that are no longer attached to the main body dry up and are weaker. They can't fight against being thrown into the fire (sin). But while they are on the tree they can draw from the strength of the branches it is attached too and is far harder to pull off and won't burn easily.

Anyways... I enjoy these daily bible studies.

I really need to sleep now though... I have to be at work in 7.75 hours........... but it was my choice... It's better to work the morning shift so I can go to YF.

Ya. ttyl.

D.Fa

Video..?


Found one. These guys are some of my friends. This video is pretty cool. I'm subscribed to them. When I went on Youtube it was there and I went "WHAT?!?!?!?! They did a 1000 miles video?!?!?!!??!!?!?" and then I watched it. So. Here it is...



"Hey AL. Goodnight. I don't have a girlfriend."

8.7.10

"Dé Classé"

So, ya...

It's curently 11:35... I woke up a bit late (10...), so ya...

I played piano again. I've been thinking... since I have a laptop now (which includes a webcam) I can make youtube videos... I can record and upload a cover of mad world... once I'm done working out the bugs... Currently I can only play one hand and sing at the same time (the right hand throws off my pitching and timing during the chorus though) and I can play both hands without singing quite slowly with some errors...

So, ya. I've been spending a good amount of time playing piano / singing. I might actually do it in the next day or two. One large reason that I think I should do this (my first video!) is that it would stop me wating time on the piano. xP

After playing piano I made lunch. xP I made a sandwich. This may not sound like a big deal, but it is!!! >.> This is a big deal: 1. because I havn't made a sandwich without peanut butter or jam on it before (as far as I know (excluding burgers, but those aren't really te same as sandwiches...)) 2. If I'm going to live away from home next year I'll have to know how to make some meals that include a meat product or figure out how vegitarianism actually works without having to consume meat replacement pills...

Anyways, sandwiches aren't that hard to make. The only problem is that they require a large number of ingredients... Bread, butter, cheese, garlic balogna, miracle whip, mustard, onion and romaine lettuce (there were no tomatoes in the house... >.>). Not much of each, but you can't really buy a few drops of mustard for a sandwich can you..? So that's just kinda annoying. I also had the remaining cheese with crakers and a glass of milk. As seen in the picture below.



So, ya. I watched anime. I did another bible study (the last few have been about the armour you wear to fight off Satan (Ephisians 6:10-18 I think)) They are cool. xP

I then cleaned a bit. My mom keeps telling me I have to clean so that we can have someone come fix the dryer. I don't care. xP

So, ya. Today I was training the new guy again. The only difference was that we were kinda way ahead of schedule... so there was nothing to do by like 8:40... I made him cut some watermelon quarters while I cleaned the deli windows. xP *evil laugh* He doesn't like wrapping the watermelon quarters... xP But while I was cleaning the deli windows the closing manager walked by and was like (in a jocular tone) "Why is produce doing work for deli..?" (they were actually a bit behind) and I told him how I had nothing to do and he made ( <-- exagerated phrase) me stock the bulk section... xP. Whatever. The new guy is a good worker, not like the guy who just quit.

Anyways... Here is a video.



[Karaoke version. xP Korean karaoke is hard... >.>]

CL bugs me... Whenever she looks straight at the camera she looks cross-eyed or something... That's why she's always wearing glasses or looking away!!! However, she often reminds me of KC... >.>

Mad World

So, hey.

When I was at work on Monday I suddenly, for no real reason, remembered this song. All I knew was the melody, the fact that it was in a video game commercial for a first person shooter that had a giant spider in it (this is where I first heard it.) and that JB could play the song on the Melodica (Piano / Harmonica thing).

I typed "video game commercial" into google in an attempt to locate the song.

This accomplished nothing.

I then added the word "song" to the search.

You know how google gives you youtube suggestions as well as web pages..? Well, the first one was the video game commercial for Gears of War.



Despite the fact that it's a FPS (I played it with my brother for a little while once... I didn't really like it... I kept dying...), that is an amazing commercial, eh? (8 million views, that single video anyways.)

Here's the original music video for the version done by Gary Jules (vocals) and Michael Andrews (Piano).



There are a lot of covers and music videos made for this song. It's a really cool song and can be used to criticize our society, so it's undersatndable that many people make these videos.

xP. Even Sungha Jung has a cover! That kid is amazing btw...



I could keep posting videos here all day, but I'd rather try to learn and play it on piano. xP. Omg... I just found this cool blog that has a ton of sheet music on it! lol blogs ftw! http://my-piano.blogspot.com/

Anyways...

D.Fa

"Hel AL! Did you get my email...? xP I still don't have a girlfriend, but apperently when I was in lower grades, like grade 1 I always had a bunch of girls around me. xP (I found a book from 1998 that contained 2 pages of our daily journal that we wrote every day. The first one was a drawing of me and three girls with the writing "I LiKe Megan / I LiKe SAMThA / And SArAh A LOT / SArAh I See is GOOD AT SchooL" to which my teacher wrote "You are good at school too!" with a blue goat sticker. Here's a picture:
)

PS. I already put some videos in this post, so I don't need to put another one.

6.7.10

100 Posts

So, hey...

It's 10:41 right now. I woke up a bit later then I wanted to, but not too late, so I still got to do some stuff. I had another sugar-coated tomato (xP), I watched Bleach (oh no!!!), I did some more laundry (....... mendokusei....), and I did some verse memorizing and did a bible study.

I couldn't find any cue cards at work yesterday, so I just wrote the verses on normal lined paper. Right in the middle of writing down the verses I kinda felt bored from writing them down. I saw my alarm clock / radio sitting right in front of me and turned it on. It was on CHRI and there was a sermon-type thing playing on some program ( I don't really know, it was out of context because I just turned it on...), but anyways, the message was really cool. "Anything that is not done faithfully is sin." That line got to me.

After that I cleaned the laundry room because we have to get someone to fix our dryer apparently... I'd be fine with a clothes line. I kinda want to just make one, but I'm not sure where I'd hang it...

I went to 'work' at the tennis courts. It was 42 degrees with the humidex when I left. There was no one at the courts for at least half an hour. In total there were only 7 people at the courts in the 2.5 hours I was there. I read like 60 pages of that book. Yesterday at work corn was double the price, so no one was buying any, so I actually got a lot done. I get to help train the new produce employee tommorow... I hope they're a hard worker.

Actually looking at my timetable for next year I may actually be able to stay at my job, but I kinda want a new job... I should make a resume then... and contact my references... >.>

So, ya... my parents were talking to each other. They figured to live somewhere else would cost me 1000$ per month and suggested that I live at home for a year to assess the situation before moving out... If RL can do it, so can I!!!!!! >.< jk. but I think it would be better to try moving out instead of always being cautious. Like, if I actually start digging into the money I have saved to pay for University I can just move back home right..? Like if I really can't afford it, I can at least pay for that year with my savings. I only need like 1000$ for school first year (plus books..?) I'll have plenty extra even if I lose a few thousand. It's just money. >.> And it would be cool living in a house with other Christians... I'm kinda jealous of the YA for that. I don't care if I have to eat a bit less! >.> Although my room now is better... I mean I get free food, rent, internet... I don't have to bus to work... gah! I wanna live with RL! >.>

Anyways... I'm still getting used to my laptop's keyboard and stuff. (Did I mention I had one..?) It's actually quite convinient. I can actually use my room now. xP Before I only used it for sleeping...

So, ya...

"Hey AL. Your probably not even reading these daily updates everyday anymore are you..? xP Well, I still don't have a girlfriend fyi."

PS. Yesterday while I was at work this song played on the radio. I really like singing along to this song =D there was no one around so I was kinda singing loud... xP I couldn't find a video with both the video and the lyrics, so here. You can mute the one with lyrics, or just not watch the video at all. xP



5.7.10

New Life

So, ya...

Normally, or at least recently, I've been updating my blog after I get home late at night... I end up finishing that around like 12:30 am which means I don't get to sleep until around 1 or 1:30.......... So, today I'm trying to update before I go to work. I'll have to tell you about tonight tommrow I guess, but I'll be able to wake up and actually do something, so... ya.... it's probably better this way.

So, ya. Today when I woke up I turned on my cell phone, set my alarm for half an hour later, then I went to bed again... xP

When I woke up later I kinda went back to bed again, but this time my cell phone kept ringing because I was texting RL (YAY! RL got unlimited texts!!!! It's rather annoying when you have unlimited and the person you're texting doesn't... Especialy when you text them and get no reply...) Anyways, the point is that because of this I actually woke up at a relatively normal hour, like 8:30.

I then tried tomatoes and sugar. xP I'm not sure I had the right amount of sugar though... and the tomato is tasty without sugar because it's a Suntech tomato anyways which are these super tasty local tomatoes from Manotick. Mmmmmmm. But I digress (hehe*) the point was that I woke up and did stuff before work.

After the tomato, I did some bible study for a couple hours which was cool. I think I should get cue cards for memory verses though. xP Its kinda troublesome to have to look through the bible study book for where I scribbled the verses...

I then had some salads. xP Prepackaged salads are really cool. I used to buy the salad bar salads for my lunch breaks, but they are pretty expensive... When the salad kits are on sale they are less expensive, have more salad, have herbs, cheese and dressing and I can just go into the produce cooler to get afresh one. xP So yesterday I bought four at 2 for 6$.

I also watched anime. The last episode of FMAb was kinda boring, but it wasn't bad for a final episode.

After that I put on 3 sweaters because its soooo cold downstairs and went to my laptop to get the pictures and videos from my memory card onto my computer. I'll probably upload them tommorow. There were 1500 pictures / videos!!!!

So, ya... I gotta go to work.

Ttyl.

"Hey AL, you're probably awake right now. xP I still don't have a girlfriend, but the major problem is probably that I'm not really trying... I'm too busy..."

Here's a cool song I heard on the radio the other day.



*I really like that phrase. xP

"Pistachios Taste Funny..."

So. Today was kinda long...

First there was no sunday school. I've only been going since around October, so I didn't know that there is no Sunday school during the summer... So during this time we're supposed to get together and pray / talk about the Missions trip in August to Brooklyn. Didn't really happen. Instead we were in the library. Pastor DB suggested a couple books. I read 12 pages. Pastor DB (it's really conflicting internally that I can't write P. D__...") and HO were talking about how Campus for Christ would be changing it's meeting night and how this conflicts with YA meetings.

Then we had a "Joint Communion" which was interesting. It wasn't too bad. The only kinda slightly negative is that after the chinese congregation left, the whole english congregation had to move forward, but that's barely anything, so whatever.

Worship team played well and the sermon was cool. It was about Ephisians 5 and the family.

Then I had to go to work........................ "NO! THAT'S ALL THE CORN WE HAVE!!!" I was ready to say that. I had to put out like 9 crates of corn.... then this woman comes along and gets 32 ears*............... after that I was kinda annoyed, so I put out the last two crates so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

I just realized that there are only 5 members in Shinee and that those other guys in the video are just dancers... I was thinking Shinee was another one of those giant korean boy bands (allusion to Super Junior), but I was wondering "Why are all the nondancing clips of only like 5 guys..?"

So, ya...... Today my mother found out that I was planning to move out. That was not a fun conversation... >.>

At the moment I'm signed up for "Introduction to Film Studies" as my art credit. It's kinda later at night, but I hear it's easy and I have a couple friends that thought it was good, so I might keep this timetable...

So...

OMG NO ONE PIECE this week.... T.T

Anyways...

ttyl.

"Hey AL. I don't have a girlfriend yet. I had this conversation with a couple asian people while we were on youtube about korean bands and I knew what everyone was talking about. xP... just not the names of the individuls withing the bands... xP"

This song when I first heard it I didn't care. xP... There are actually two versions Space and Street. xP I like the Space version more.






*for 8$ i might add.... I bought 5 tomatoes for 7$ today.

Party Crashers

So, today started with a sprint to work after I woke up 5 minutes before I was supposed to be there.... xP I stayed up until 2 playing a ridiculous game... xP

So, ya... I hate corn. I think I am becoming allergic or were always mildly allergic.... I had to put out like 12 crates of corn.......

Praise Team was cool. From the Inside Out was sounding awkward, so instead we're playing Above All.

xP..........

Me and RL both need to get our G1's before our siblings do.

D.Fa

"Hey AL, sup? I'm bored... you..? I should get a girlfriend... but it's not that important."

TGIF

So, ya.

Today is the second day of July. Only two months until University... but it feels like this week has taken a really long time to pass. I first thought this this morning when I thought of One Piece. I was looking forward to the next episode because it felt like I hadn't seen one in a while... One Piece comes out on Sundays, but this week was a filler episode... clip shows are stupid... Then I realized it felt like a long time since I had gone to church (ie a church service not the church. I went to the church on Wednesday, which also feels like a long time ago...). Then I realized I havn't gone to church in two weeks because last week I was playing at the International Jazz Festival... I can't wait until Sunday... xP

Oh ya... As it turns out, this week there is no YF, but there is YA, which is annoying, but whatever... Maybe I'll get to hangout with RL. I keep thinking that he should / is supposed to be my best friend for the next 4 years because we will be going to the same school next year / maybe living in the same house..? , but it's actually difficult. He doesn't really respond to text messages very quickly, he doesn't always know about YA stuff, and he doesn't exactly live nearby... He suggested playing Maplestory tommorow... Ummmmm... I don't really want to................ I'll get sucked in again...... >.>

I don't like corn!!!!

Anyways... Ya, I'm trying to be prepared for the missions trip by spending more time doing bible studies. I didn't really end up with enough time today though... I watched a couple episodes too much of Ouran host club.... >.>

I really need to put this cheque in my bank account too... and join the gym.....

Anyways...

D.Fa

"Hey AL. As CW had suggested so that my blog is more unexpected I will now inform you (and whoever else reads this) about a deep dark surprising secret of mine! On my bed there are two pillows, sheets and a blanket. The sheets and pillowcases are green, but the blanket is not. I got the sheets / pillowcases for christmas a couple years ago, but I've had the blanket for a very long time. (Wait... have I told you and some people at sunday school about this already..?) The blanket has dinosaurs on it. It is my favourite blanket. You don't think that it might be a reason I don't have a girlfriend do you..?"

PS. This song is kinda catchy and the dance is really weird... The band is pronounced "Shine-E" not "Shin-E" or "Shi-Nay"



[Grr. video was removed so I had to find a new one....]

Stary Sky

So. ya...

Today was pretty cool. Here are some general thoughts...:

I got to sit on the top level of the theatre seating at TM's house which is actually so cool and very sturdy actually.

I kinda want a vevuzela, but as an instrument not as a noise maker.

HK's camera is sooooo cool. I really want a digital SLR now...

Whenever I'm going somewhere fo the day my dad just throws money at me (figratively, mostly) "Here. Have some money." was how he phrased it today as he gave me 40$.

Reunions in the middle of a mass of people are difficult to pulloff smoothly.



Anyways, that bus ride was messy. We almost didn't get everyone onto the one bus. Once we did it was very full... People had to get off the bus to let the people who wanted to get off the bus off then they had to get back on... I saw like 4 Merivale Grads on the bus.

Anyways, after we finally got off that bus we were walking home. There's this path that I have to walk on when I go home from work. From this path you can really see the stars, which I think is really cool / amazing because stars are really cool / amazing. I think that one day I should be involved in a trip somewhere where the main event is stargazing by lying down in a field and looking up. Sora no Manimani is a cool anime that really made me want to stargaze but the stupid light pollution is annoying....

So, ya...

"Hey AL, how was your Canada day..? Apparently JS had recently complained that there were no girls with which to turn into girlfriends, or something like that. The point is, I don't have a girlfriend, yet."

1.7.10

Chaos

If this isn't chaos I don't know what is.... Tons of people are shoving their way onto buses in an attempt to go home.

The fifteen minute fireworks show just ended and everyone is done. Everyone is drunk / stoned / tired / hyper / crazy / etc...... And just needs to get to sleep at home...

Canada Day

So. I've been here for a number of hours (here being downtown in general) with a bunch of YA / CFC people and I don't really understand what this day is about... but its been fun just hanging / burning / doing nothing with these guys. I don't really care about the fireworks. It'd be way cooler to launch our own. =P

[The fireworks were pretty cool. It's really awesome when you can actually feel it after the firework explodes.]

Circle Games are Awesome. XP

So we're net really doing much right now, so JS just decided "Let's play circle games!" or something. XP so we are. Which is kinda really cool cuz like if 20 somethings can play circle games and so can kindergarteners it must be like the most amazing thing ever that even goes through generations. Or something..?

[We played broken telephone twice and going through 20 people, some asian, some caucaisian, the messages usually were quite messed up... xP]

XP

XP... Do you ever stick your toungue out after reading something ridiculous..?

XP I just did...

[This was after she responded to the last text I posted and I stuck out my toungue at her reply. xP]

A Cell Message.

XP I have my cell and it has a 2 megapixel camera, so I've been taking pictures like a tourist... XP.

[I actually was texting someone this as a reply and it sounded like something I had felt like posting, so I just resent it to my blog.]

"Comme ci, Comme ca."

So, I didn't think about it at first. Then I saw a couple people I don't know too well. Now I keep looking for people I know........ XP

The Smell of Second-hand Marjuana Smoke...

So, ya.

Me and CW just walked around instead of doing anything in specific. There are just crazy 'patriotic' people screaming and walking about aimlessly. There are also a bunch of buskers and people sellings things and a lot of flags. Flag Flags, Flag dresses, Flag shirts, flag hats all sorts of things that are made of flags... Or at least resemble flags...

My legs kinda hurt, but whatever...

I don't think I've ever just walked around downtown Ottawa. There are also a lot of people... It feels like I have gone to a different city...

Youngsters are also weak...

So, it's really quite odd being in a group of people and you are the youngest... Usually I'm one of the older people...

The other day I was told that among the YA at OCBC nearly all of them are second children or middle children. Basically not first-born. JS and HK seem to think that is because of this [fact] that there is no leadership [among the YA].

I have deffinately seen that there is no one actually leading... We seem to stand around a lot and every once in a while someone would blurt out something. The whole group would head in that direction, but no one would be leading and then eventually we end up standing around with no idea of what we are doing again.... XP....

D.Fa

Isn't the Point of Wearing a Belt to Keep Your Pan[ts UP..? ]

ts UP..?

I will put the rest of that in the title later...

Anyways, we are now outside the museum [gallery*] deciding what to do next / where to go for dinner.

That spider reminds me of Pikmin and makes me mad.... Grrrr I dislike those spiders...

D.Fa

Museum [Gallery*]

So, we are now in the museum [gallery*] killing time. "how do we get out..?" xP...

I just threw a dollar into a fountain from the second floor. XP...

Alone

So, we are just kinda walking around and like there are so many people, but I don't know them... I just saw S(?) From work but that doesn't count... [I saw her again later! xP]

So, ya...

Netherlands

Okay. So...

Some people get so worked up about the world cup... It just doesn't make sense to me... This one guy, CW, is getting so worked up about the Netherlands... Everytime I see him he will bring up soccer and, not exactly trash-talk, but he is very confident that the other team will lose. However, Netherlands doesn't need more fans... So, he won't really let us cheer for them. XP

I really don't care. I havn't seen more then 20 minutes of soccer (aside from like an hour of the first game).

So, ya...

D.Fa

Random Bus Tweet

I just saw DV on a bus! I never see DV anywhere except for the tennis courts!!!

Anyways... We (me, HK, JS) just got on the bus and then CW joined us a stop later. So, ya... We're going downtown now.

Bottled Water Debt

We are done eating lunch and now most of us will be going downtown. For a long time... HK just gave me a bottle of water. I will give her one later.

[I never actually drank from it..? Do I have to get her a new one..? It's actually probably still in JS's backpack... xP Was it hers to begin with..? >.>]

If I've Ever Seen a Tweet

We are having lunch now. Hotdogs and hamburgers. Yum.

Sometimes I Forget to Write a Title because I Don't Normally Write Subjects for Text Messages... xP

We're back at TM's house with about 18 people..? We're playing president and some other people are playing rock band 2. We are going to have bbq once some people get back.

Omizu

Ok. That wasn't that bad... Our team won 5-4. XP. We need water... [Which you apparently can't get at DZ's house... xP] XP...

Nvm

Ok... Soccer isn't that bad...

Fifa!

We are now playing soccer at GB. I don't really like soccer.......

Mmmmm Pancakes

So...

Right now I'm at TM's house. I got here at about 10... There are now like 20 more people then when I got here and I only know like 5 of them...... That's way too many names to remember suddenly.....

TM is making pancakes... They look tasty...
