Grade 8

So it continues. I had a thought, maybe these will get awkward when they are more recent? Whatever. I'll leave out more names. lol.

[ Warning! This post may again be a rambler!! ]

So, what do I remember from 8 years ago?

I know my homeroom teacher was very nice and in charge of the student council, but this whole year I wished I was back in my grade 7 classroom. Both the room and the classmates had a different feel, a more home-like feel. This year my class felt like it had just been thrown together and all I could do was miss my friends from last year. I often spent time with them anyways.

I think at one point I had access to a girl's locker in addition to mine, and I got caught once by my teacher from grade 7. >.> But she didn't realize anything.

I think I ended up being friends with AM and JW most. We worked on a debate or something about Newfoundland? I'm pretty sure I cheated (like one or two points) on a History test and slept through multiple historical movies.

The choir was reinstated and I joined and also joined the soloist group. We sang a lot of random stuff. The soloists were also given extra stuff to sing. We each chose a song and practiced it and recorded  it I think? We were apparently supposed to audition for the talent show. I didn't realize / I didn't want to. >.< Sing in front of the whole school? no. lol. We sang karaoke quite a bit. CN was now one of my best friends. He was a little off. He played trumpet and Maplestory. This is how I got into Maplestory. My first three characters all sucked because I thought I should have even distribution of ability points. >.> He became a high-level dragon knight quite quickly.

There was this weird percussion ensemble that was formed. It was interesting, but not that interesting. lol. I'd rather play real instruments.

Music class was good. It was split with this class that only had like 4 guys in it (It was a french immersion class!).

So, jazz band. Pretty sure we went to nationals for Music Fest and I had to play 'Cathy's Army' which went up to an F I think? Adjudicator told me I was doing the vibrato all wrong. >.>

Oh! Math was a lot of fun! We had this older woman teaching us. She was a pretty stern teacher, but that makes it all the more fun. lol.

I did not make a table in Design and Technology class, I took one home. I was a keener in the class and so I was able to make whatever I wanted. I looked in my room and realized I was missing a table. So that's what I'd make. The teacher sold me one that had been half made. lol.

Oh. A girl in my class got contacts. I bugged her for a week or two. I thought she looked better with the glasses. She looked cuter without the glasses actually, I later realized.

Oh! This was when I got to be friends with OD, AS, and BP! I was wondering when that was. Oh. and I actually was student council representative. I made a speech and everything.

I was a little jealous of D(?) because she got to play the bass clarinet. >.< Coolest instrument.

Our grad dance was in a different building. I really liked this one girl and was almost being a complete idiot because of it. I went to get her cake, but didn't know what flavour she wanted so I got both. She already had cake. >.> Rascal Flatts and Gasolina.

Pretty sure I still didn't like dancing. I think it was this year that a rumour that I liked a girl ended up making me like her a bit. I had danced with her, a slow dance, at one of the dances. Most guys made fun of her. She was nice. Hmmmm.... Maybe this part was grade 7?

I don't remember much about this year. We played with lasers in Science I think?

OH! The Hodge Podge! >.< Why I stopped taking art class.

My earliest memory of AT? Donating hair for cancer?

Pretty awkward year.

Grade 7

Hey, I've been thinking about the past a bunch lately, so I'm gonna write down most of my thoughts from each year that I remember starting with Grade 7.

<Warning: These posts will be the definition of rambling>

So, my middle school was across the street. This meant I could sleep in until 5 minutes before class started. At the time I did not shower everyday. Lol... I really liked my teacher. She was young, smart, pretty, and he honestly cared about each of us.

We had to set goals for the semester. I only made ones I knew I could do or had already done. Kinda lame. Haha.

Through the year I think I had crushes on four girls, primarily. K, N, P, and B. At one point, I think it was Christmas, I asked my best friend PM to ask all the girls in our class whether they liked bracelets or necklaces more. That week I braided each of them the one they said they liked more and each had three coloured beads. The colours represented how much I liked them, but I never told them that. Lol.........

This was the first year we got to play real instruments for music class (not just recorders) and I chose the trombone because the guy at the info night said I was really good at it. I joined all the bands and that became my identity for a long time. "number1trombone" was also my email address. I don't remember when I actually got email though. >.> Could have been later. Grade 9 or something?

Our class was actually really close. I don't think I ever had a real conflict with anyone. RL and GN were my newer best friends along with PM who I had already known. We went to Wendy's once. Lol. I don't think I went home for lunch that often, but I may have.

AW is one girl I kinda liked. She was really kind, but also really funny in a weird kinda way. Like, she was extremely athletic, but didn't really know how to harness the potential. She high jumped and landed on the other side of the crash mat once. O.o And she always drew these squirel-like creatures. One time on the side board she drew one with the words "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie." Those words have stuck with me. Lol.

Art class with our French teacher. Gym class with our Canadian History teacher. Video games with PM (and my brother sometimes). Trying to get the Integrated Arts teacher to start a choir again with KA.

Things were changing though.

School dances existed. >.> I usually went to the games room and played Magic cards with AM. Lol.

I liked our library. XP. I never really took out books. We still had book reports and presentations and stuff like that.

I don't really remember recesses.

Ha! MC was in my class. She was hilarious! Almost taught me Chinese. But I annoyed her too much so she stopped after a couple days...

Hmmm... Oh. This guy. He showed up one day and was added to our class and claimed he was a millionaire. He tried buying friendship. Like, he didn't actually give us anything though, so we were very skeptical. No one liked him. In gym class we had to.do a choreographed dance. I think the other guys paid him a dollar to just be quiet. ...

Grade 7. Probably a lot more. Lol.

Could be Worse

Hmmmm........ Well this could be bad. haha

So today after work I went to the gym wtih FB. It was time for me to renew my gym membership. They took my card and renewed it and asked "how will you be paying?" I had now realized I didn't have my debit card. Must be in a pocket of my other pants or something. They let me in for today because I said I'd be back tomorrow.

I now, after searching through all of my freshly laundered pants cannot find it. >.>

I haven't used it since Thursday according to my bank account. So that's good at least.

But I have no credit cards and no cash now. And if I need to get a new card mailed to me, that's a week. >.<

So. Can I survive one more month with no money?

That's my first thought.

Probably not a good thought. lol. Probably just have to go to the bank in the mall and explain the situation, cancel my old card, get a new one. Probably.

Can I pay with cheque? I have cheques. lol.........

Ttyl.

PS. God answers prayer.

Heart-Shaped Cookies

I'm going to sleep now. A youtube show I saw about Chinese wives' tales told me I should be sleeping at 11pm. (True story)

Today was cool. I got to watch a sweet testimony of a guy's life from nearly aborted, to drugs and gangs, to nearly put in jail, to leading hundreds of youth to Christ. http://youtu.be/r5rNppShHGk

Anyways, Ttyl.

From the Ice Age

So. I have a bee and a dragonfly in my freezer right now. o.O

I put them there on the advice of my friend. He has a course about insects or something in September so he needs to catch a whole bunch of bugs, so I wanted to help. You have no idea how much I enjoy bug hunting, and I do it by hand. lol. I haven't done it in a long while though. I got a lot of funny looks when I was stalking the dragonfly. And a guy asked if I was ok and if I needed help with anything. lol...

Yesterday was pretty cool. I had lunch with YF and KA. I found out KA is actually from Macao. haha. We talked about a lot of random stuff and I talked about hypocrisy and the question from Alpha. Healing or Forgiveness. It was a good talk. Got to share the gospel too. xP

Don't remember much else. lol.

I've only got 2000 emails left in my inbox. XP. I think I am confusing a lot of people with replies to emails 2 years old. lol.

TBH: 90 Minutes of Google Ads?

Yo, so today kinda sucked. I stayed up way too late and made bad decisions and lived with it all day. The morning was so unproductive and dull until I read something in a journal article about the Bible. What?!? It said that the fungus probably originated from Middle East and there are early Roman literature references and in the Bible.

Matt6:19-21 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

I'm working on RUST! =D 

and boy does it destroy. Even in North America, with resistance genes and controlled reproduction and everything it still destroys 5-25% of the yield. Not as bad as another one which leaves mycotoxins though. >.< 

Anyways, I think this verse has really caught my day. This day was wrecked by yesterday's sins. Laying up satisfaction for myself in the present, on the earth, only to destroy myself, walking into the deep end when I know I can't swim just because the water feels good. But when we trust in God's plans, though we may not see them yet, living by faith not sight, we trust in the future, we trust in eternity, we trust in God's ultimate redemptive plan for the greatest good of all who are made in His image.

I've never had more fun organizing a freezer in my life. lol.

I was still pretty messed after work. I sat down and read. I read all about out heavenly dwelling, the eternal bodies prepared for us after this struggle and battle ends. I read of God's reconciling ourselves to Him through Christ, not counting men's sins against them. I read of joy in hardship. 

PG asked me about it. Apparently he said the exact same words as another friend of mine. "I don't read the Bible very much. I'm not a very good Christian." He says usually he doesn't have time and that he often thinks it is more boring than a novel. These are the words of God, written through the Spirit in the lives of prophets and scribes. This book is amazing.

I sent some facebook messages. Apologized to a brother for sins from a couple years ago. God's got so much planned, why would I ever choose to go against these plans? These plans are light and life for those who follow them.

I biked home so I could be kidnapped. lol. Went to the movies. The Internship was hilarious. I always feel so bad for the asian kid who gets walked all over by family and friends. I feel like I have a lot of friends like this.

Anyways, good times with friends. XP

Gotta keep looking forward.

But You Want to Drown

Do you ever get it when the words in a song just speak to you so powerfully?

This song kinda captures how I feel about sin when I am failing. Every line of it.

Sink or swim is the question. There may not be dry land until we get to the end, but He said "I'll give you my hand. I'll keep my promise. We can reach the end." I could say "I'm just fine if I just have You by my side." But cold as ice I don't turn back to my friend calling out to me. I know the consequences, but I want to drown.



Water by Andrew Huang (Free Download Here: http://tinyurl.com/ms9lb3z)

Lyrics:

sink or swim again
i'll give you my hand
'til we reach the end
there's never dry land

we'll catch a glimpse of light
when the stars are out tonight
we can make it there, we can make it all alright

might drift until we die
and reflect that lonely sky
but i'm fine if i just have you by my side

i made you a promise i'll keep
though we are just two bodies of water

cold as ice again
you won't come around
i can be a friend
but you want to drown

we'll catch a glimpse of light
when the stars are out tonight
we can make it there, we can make it all alright

might drift until we die
and reflect that lonely sky
but i'm fine if i just have you by my side

i made you a promise i'll keep
though we are just two bodies of water

but you want to drown

That Red Barn

Yo.

Today was cool. I accepted my co-op job for the fall. I got some sweet pictures for my presentation. We went out into the field and I got to be the photographer. lol.

This is another one of those cases where I wished I was just 10% honest with you, but we'll see what happens.

Today after work I went home. I think my gym membership is dead now. So I am only going to get one more month so I have a few days off now and at the end of August I think. Shortly after getting home I skyped with a buddy and we did a Bible study / book study. Today was largely about the Holy Spirit and something I never thought about came up.

So, like, Jesus was with His disciples, and then He went to the cross and was gone for a bit. But this was for the best, aside from the whole paying for our sin and giving us new life in Him (which is the best part), He also made the way for the Holy Spirit to be poured out on everyone. Instead of having to be with Jesus physically, or in the very center of the temple to experience God you actually just had God's Spirit in you all the time. "I am with you always".

I also got stuck outside my house for the first time today. Left my keys on my table when I went out to return the guitar. TT.TT Had to ring everyone's doorbell. (I only rang 4 of 24. Everyone is a hyperbole.)

Uneeded Things

Hey guys,

today is one of those days. I did what seems like so much work, but probably wasn't that much. I'm pretty sure research isn't where I should be. I need things to be changing way more often. I don't like focusing on one thing for so long with no results. >.> But it seems like grade 10 math teacher is viable. My friend in Toronto has asked me how to do some stuff and (although I needed to google it and relearn) I helped her figure it out and fully know how to do it myself now. lol.

So, this might sound weird, but I just cut my toe nails and I guess this made me think... "When was the last time I bit my toenails?" lol... I kinda have a bad habit of biting my finger nails. I have no idea how to get over this, but I guess I outgrew biting my toenails. Like, it's pretty hard to do now. lol. Who needs nail clippers when you can just use your teeth? I guess that's an embarrassing confession..? I told you if I had nothing I'd do this. haha.

I can't believe I only have 4.5 weeks left here in Saskatoon. I'm gonna accept the job offer tomorrow for my next co-op term back in Ottawa.

Ttyl.

D.Fa

PS. I also meant to rant about how I can't wake up before 7:50. and then I remembered that God answers prayer. I was kinda apologizing for not knowing anyone in my building and then coming home from groceries a girl was moving into the unit beside mine. =D New friend? Not really, but I offered her help and she can knock on my door if she ever has questions. She said that's so helpful. xP

Clarity

Today was generally unproductive.

I started watching a new anime a week ago, just one episode, but ended up watching the rest of the curretly released episodes this weekend. lol... Cannot wait til next week for episode 16. haha.

I probably watched way too much youtube.

I didn't really accomplish much housework-wise. I guess I did a lot of sewing. haha. Finished fixing my shirt. Now all the buttons work! Hasn't been that way in years. lol.

But I went to church twice again and both times were pretty sweet. First YF brings a friend to church, which is awesome. And later the guy I meant to talk to about discipleship a month ago talks to me and says we should meet up. xP

Short Words Can Be Scary Too

I don't know what I can say and what I can't say.

There are things I will or won't say.

There are things I will only say in my head.

There are things better left unsaid.

But there are also things that should be said; things that cannot be unsaid.

The things you cannot say over a text; the things you cannot tell you friend to say for you.

Yet I still refuse to say those words.

The words that have potential to change futures. The words that reveal the past and present. The words that will bring about a full understanding of each other and push our relationships to new heights.

There are many reasons why some people can't say these words and also why others can throw them around too easily.

But even these words are confusing. Even this short phrase doesn't capture the fullness of the situation easily.

But I don't want to talk very long, who knows what the reaction could be. If I say less words it is easier for both of us, right? But then there can be misunderstanding.

>.>

"It Has No 'Flavour'"

It's been one of those weeks. I probably haven't had one like this all summer though.

So many late days and sleeping in.

I've missed multiple breakfasts and my lunches took a toll.

I've had three skype meetings this week 8-9pm or so, I went out to see Pacific Rim Tuesday night (such a great movie) and got home at 1 to then spend an hour writing and sending an email got to bed at 3. Woke up late (no lunch left in the fridge). I think I had three bananas and two peaches left. That night after a short time at the gym we went out for sushi. xP Also I got to officially meet W(?) and W(?). We went to pool after sushi until midnight. Got home, passed out, woke up late. Decided I could not do anything Thursday because I needed to do dishes, cook, clean, and all this other stuff. So I didn't go to the gym. Got a bunch done I think..? Managed to get a free lunch yesterday by going to a seminar. lol Free subway is probably a bit better than the half bag of dry mr. noodles, a pepper, and four uncooked hotdogs. lol... Went to bed at midnight. Woke up exhausted and half an hour late to leave. >.< Tonight I got to go to "The Taste of Saskatchewan" event downtown. xP. Good times. I went with YF and his friend P(?). Good times eating, joking and laughing. "Someone must always make a sacrifice, today, that is me." Haha.

Gotta sleep.

July 14th Unknown Hour ~8:45-9pm ish

"This situation is pretty funny. I mean, I was having dinner and watching anime and then the lights went off kinda suddenly. Like all of them. So I finished watching the show (it had managed to load fully. lol) and then kinda just went around the building. I felt like this was one of those times where complete strangers would band together for the common good simply because they live near each other. lol. Not exactly.

I guess cell phones get in the way, however, I did not have mine. I had left it in FB's car accidentally. >.>

I went out on the balcony to see what was happening outside. It seemed to really get people going. I have never seen so many people outside by my house. They all seemed to be walking in the same direction: towards the landlord's office. So I went too. I was disappointed to not find a crowd, but whatever. He tried calling Sasktel. Busy. As far as he knew, a couple blocks in each direction (but North) were out too. He figured since we are on a rural grid, someone may have hit a pole and set it all off, potentiall for a while.

So, I set off to find power.

Rather, I am going to go to work (the direction that had power). FB had kidnapped me from work yesterday, so my bike was still there. When I started writing this I was sitting at the bus stop. One bus, only going to the nearby mall, appeared. So I asked about transfers (I usually just take one bus).

Not today.

?

Sunday night there are no buses apparently. Since it was close she didn't charge me (Yuss! I only had one ticket left. xP). So I walk.

Now I am maybe halfway? I'm playing  with the idea of hitch hiking. CW would approve and it would be fun. lol. So far I ran into a Chinese lady with a bike. She didn't know about it all. Her English was not great, so now I am prepared for the next one (probably sketchily prepared): 我的家没有电气。你的家有没有吗. (getting eaten alive by mosquitos)."

So I kinda ran the rest of the way..?

Anyways, I'm about to bike home. It was like 10:45 when I ended up getting here and is now 11:40. >.>

Sorry for being lazy.

Today was a long day at work. I ended up staying til 7 then was doing other stuff online til 9:15. XP.

Met up with YF for lunch. A little talk I guess. It's kinda funny how I want to talk more about God with him, but we actually have other things to talk about. I never have other things to talk about with anyone. Lolll. Good times though. I'm gonna miss him when I leave in seven weeks. T.T

Anyways, I'm going to bed. Lol. Below is the manuscript for the testimony I gave at Alpha last week. Thirty or so people, many who do not know Jesus as their saviour yet. Glad to be able to speak and share a bit of God's plan in my life.

"Unlike some whose first time at an Alpha course was 7 weeks ago, for me it was five and a half years ago. But like many, I came because a friend who invited me to go. I didn't really know what to expect, maybe some games, maybe some videos. Time with my friend.

What I found was life changing, a time to meet and get to know a new friend, named Jesus. Over the weeks of the course I heard about God and His love for us, but also about our sin, the wrong things we have done that separate us from God. Lying, stealing, cheating on a test. Each of us have it, but no good deeds, could make up for them. Jesus came down to earth to take our punishment and die for each of us and rose again. Now we can ask for His forgiveness and ask Him into our lives.

For a couple years I tried to just fit Jesus into my life. Go to church, prayer meetings, help out at church, while living my life the rest of the time. That isn't how it works though. God doesn't want us to give Him an hour Sunday morning, he wants us to know Him and be in relationship with Him. Experience Him in every aspect of our lives.

I asked Jesus to come into my life about 4 years ago, and since then have been baptised and seen Him do amazing things in my life as well as the lives of people everywhere I've been; Canada, America, Asia, Africa, but this was still a lesson I need to learn more each day. I think alpha course this time has really helped me to see this more. Talks on prayer and walking with the Spirit and trusting God in every moment. And actually each morning before alpha I ended up reading a passage in the Bible that was talked about later. This just further showed how God is act work all the time and how His plans are not restricted to the church building.

I have been so blessed by God's plans for me here in Saskatoon and want to learn more and more what it means to trust in Him wherever He sends me, whatever time or place.

If you don't know Jesus, or if you have for a while, I encourage you to seek Him more. Taste and see that He is good."

Well Fed

I have food again. lol.

I was down to like 3 carrots, 4 boxes of KD, 3 cans of tuna, and random little bits of stuff. >.>

Bought a lot of groceries. Probably enough for the rest of the summer aside from more vegetables.

I also bought an avocado and ate it. =D

So today I had some interviews. One went very well I think, the other not so much. lol...

Had a really good lab meeting, all the background information for everything we are doing. Now I fully understand.

Ummmm. ya. Got to talk with PG a bit after work. I finally stopped being a coward, prayed, and just asked him how he knew about SCAC. He apparently goes to the only other Chinese church in Saskatoon, and has gone pretty regularly for more than 3 years and his parents back in China are Christian. So, I look forward to talking more to him about what it all means to him, and he said I could come to church with him sometime. xP And because his church is sharing a building the service is at 2, so I could actually go between SCAC and the other church I'm going to. But, three churches..? Hmmmmmm.....?

Ya. haha.

Thorns Hurt

Hey guys,

last night I got to talk with a brother who struggles with a lot of the same things I do. It was really good to be real and talk about these things and know that someone else has gone through this all and still is trying to hold onto Christ as best he can. It was really encouraging. The first time I heard his testimony I was very impressed with the boldness he had in even being able to tell it.

Hypothetical question:
You are on your death bed. Would you rather have healing or forgiveness?

Now I fully understand that the question is vague and no context and ya, but I think I just realized how this applies to my situation.

At alpha I was going to say forgiveness; But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matt 6:15

But I guess I've been living the first answer, that I'd rather have healing.

"Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor 12:7b-10

Paul wasn't healed, but he was still was able to see God use his life to change the eternities of multitudes.

I don't like this answer.

Field of Vision

So, yesterday was microscope day!

The microscope I had been using until this week had the fluorescent lamp's bulb die (of old age), so it needs to be replaced... Meantime, I am still requiring a microscope for hours each day and the other one is usually being used, so I need to check each day it's availability. Yesterday I had it 8:30-10:30 and I needed to get to work early to make sure I could finish the staining / destaining process before then because I had 5 samples and WZ was going to have a few, adn they each take 15-30 minutes or so if done thoroughly.

So, I slept in a bit. Bad morning. Biked. Got 3 of 5 done for 8:45ish, left WZ to finish for me. Got on the microscope and she tells me I have until 3? Ok. =D No pressure. WZ comes in with all the samples prepared. He had 10. >.< . . .

Ya... I ended up on the microscope straight through lunch until 2:54. >.< But!!! I got to see cool fungal structures!!! =D So, I'm not too upset. lol.

Last Alpha Course session about the church and telling others. YF said he wants 'someone to be nice to him as he slowly learns to trust in God, no pressure'. But it's true, God has definitely been slowly at work in him. So, I don't really want to push, but it would be so awesome if he did come to know Jesus as his saviour now so we could do discipleship stuff. >.>

Today was not much. Tower Defense. Pokémon Tower Defense 2. lol..... >.< So much wasted time.

So, I'm still going through the New Testament this summer and posting my thoughts on my other blog. Cool stuff: people from Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Cuba (as well as a lot of the other countries that have seen this blog) have seen posts.

Not Registering

Yo, so it's that time of year again. Everyone is registering for courses for the coming fall.

I'm not?

Well, I actually am, which is odd. It's also odd that that is odd. I mean, I haven't graduated, so why would it be odd for me to register? Co-op. I have two more terms this year, so I'm not gonna be at school full time again until nest September, like 2014. But I am thinking of applying for a course or two to make my last year easier since I am allowed to take a course or two.

So, ya. I'm registering? I have a very limited selection having only classes that are between the hours of 6-9pm. Hmmmm..... Plus I want it to help me so I can take less courses next year, and hopefully really easy ones next year, so hopefully I can take a single 'hard-ish' course each semester. Seems like I have no choices if I want to do that. It's so weird... I actually want to take Bioinformatics really badly despite knowing it will suck. haha.

Shoot. . . If I take classes, I will have to go to school? >.> Hmmm. That may ruin my plans. . . Let's find an online course for the fall! =D

. . . (Three hours later)

Ok! All fixed up. xP. Hopefully this will all work out as I have been hoping. I guess I should pray about my plans too.

Anyways, ya... with all this registrations stuff I kinda stayed up late last night and didn't wake up until 9. >.< Everything was ok though. I just missed a boring meeting that was irrelevant to me.

Got to talk with PG a bit more. Praying that I'd be able to share the hope and security I have in Christ with him soon.

I got the package from FedEx Ground yesterday. Only open 8-12 and 4-6:30 and it's 30 minutes by car away. Like, it's at the furthest North point of the city. Past the correctional facility. >.> It's a bunch of 'Exploration Bible's with Bible studies for people who have never read the Bible before. DH was really curious about it and KA was restraining interest, but FB is still as adamant as ever that I need to cut out the Bible studies from my schedule and go to the gym more. Hopefully we can have a discussion through this.

A California Driver's License

Hey guys.

Yesterday was ok. My first Canada Day away from Ottawa, the capital city. Not much happened until 6pm. I kinda slept in, cooked a bit, checked out the "gym" in my condo complex (super old running equipment and a monstrous machine for every type of weight training), then sewing my shirt back into one piece. lol.

At 6 I met YF and his friend P(?) to go to the main event. It was at this giant park and there was just a lot of people, a small stage, and a million booths selling stuff. Also some inflatable games we didn't play. Got to learn a bit about P(?) who is from Mexico where she studied immunology.

I found an awesome gospel tract on the ground. It looked like a wallet! So we were all like "I wonder whose wallet this is?" Surprise! =D And so we went through the personality test on the inside largely about lying and stealing, which quickly gets into sin and what God did about it all. YF was helping keep the conversation going and was asking her questions. xP. I got to have great conversation with P(?) about grace and the law and learned a bit about her experience in the Catholic church in Mexico. By this point it was almost firework time and YF was really distracted. >.> lol... oh well. next time.

Had no idea what was going to happen this day, but just keep your eyes on Him, His Kingdom and His righteousness, eh?

Today was boring. lol.

Ttyl.
