明けましておめでとう

Today was pretty sweet.

I mean after the morning anyways. Sin is still in my life and I'm still not relying enough on the power of the Holy Spirit.

Aside from that I got to church a bit early for the practice and read and talked with CW for a while. Then when we were waiting for the door to magically unlock we tried to hit icicles off the roof using the ice from where the icicles were dripping and other icicles once some had fallen.

We started quite a bit later than expected, but we got to play a bunch of happy, fun and over the top songs and by that I mean hymns..? lol.

After that was the new years potluck. 明けましておめでとう! SC is a very interesting person and AL is more asian than I thought she was.

On that note, I like the songs that AL writes (by AL I mean AL's older brother, AL.) but the funny thing is that whenever I hear them I can only imagine AL singing them. xP And so I try to immitate the way he sings and then I laugh. xP The Righteousness of Christ is a pretty good song. I'm thinking of recording it. xP

On the topic of funny things: petting cymbals with purcussion brushes. lol.

Ya. Lunar New Year is a great time of year. xP.... Chinese potlucks are so good. Also, the way the snow was falling afterwards was the best. Big fluffy white snow flakes adn it wasn't all that cold either.

Even though we think fall is the best season to have permanently, I do enjoy large chunks of the other seasons. When snow is falling at night and it is warm that is cool. It is also amazing when right after a snowfall it is night and there is a full moon and no clouds and all the stars. The reflected moonlight off of all the snow is amazing. Winter is bad when the snow gets plowed into giant piles of brown grossness, the roads get salted and brown gross slush gets splased everywhere and when its like -30 or less and so cold.

But ya. YA is at my house this week. I also have a lot due this week. xP

Ttyl.

PS. Also, for some bizarre reason my computer finally decided to connect to the internet and as such I have just blogged.

No Probl..... I Mean... Thank You..?

So guys, whatsup..?

You know what..? I got like 5.5 hours of sleep! >.>

I went to work from 7-2, had a worship leader study 3-5 and then... Well, I'll get there once I'm done talking about that much.

So, I woke up and all that stuff and got to work at 7:15. I was kinda worried I'd be on the counter... I hate the counter. Luckily I was on tables, so being 15 minutes late was no major problem, the load didn't get there until like 10 anyways..? It seems that BJ had facebook stalked me and was spreading rumours that it was my birthday. Then when SB was overhearing this he said that if MM found out she'd probably announce it through the whole store. MM then entered the room and I left as quickly as possible.

Ya. BJ made me a cupcake. Isn't that sweet..? xP... I actually took a break today. I bought some reduced bruschetta and bread. Just before K(?) went back to work she commented that I looked like Jesus just sittung there breaking bread (it was a bit stale... xP) and B(?) was like 'I guess that's a compliment..?" In a very unsure tone... I really didn't have anything to say... XP

Ya. I left and immediately bussed out to westboro for the study. We were talking about skills and stuff. As usual I got there early and was stuck outside for 20 minutes. xP When AW finally got there she didn't recognize me because of my scarf. xP She made cupcakes too. xP.

All our talents are a gift from God and should be used to glorify Him, but we shouldn't be so focused on playing perfectly that we forget we are playing for Him.

So, ya. After the study I went with my parents for . . . sushi! YAY!! so good. We went to the new 168 Sushi Japan Buffet like a block from where I live. The place is big and so nice, there's water and lights and purple and it's so cool. There's the standard sushi ordering system and a menu with some pictures (I used this to explain the difference between a roll and a hand roll to my parents). The waiters and waitresses were all asian (mostly Chinese I think) and they were all really nice, but a few had a large accent that my parents could not decipher... They came and explained how to order to us.... xP I'm not that white am I..? Also, my parents are not good at using chopsticks... Have I said yet that my brother fell asleep which is why he wasn't there..? xP. Ya. Lame. Anyways, ya. The sushi was really good. The restaurant got really busy by around 6:30ish so it is very good that we got there when we did. I would highly recommend the restaurant to any sushi enthusiast or otherwise.

Ya. After that we went home and I just talked with my parents for a bit while watching the habs games and eating chocolate cake. xP...

I got another few loaves of bread and some spaghetti. xP Ya. I hadn't been home since 7. I also hadn't checked my email..... I had a lot of messages! I responded to all of them! I actually can see this as a chance to get back in touch with a bunch of people I have not talked to in a while. xP Facebook. It is overrated and yet it is a very cool thing sometimes. My opinion has changed.

Ya. Ttyl.

Acquaintances --> Friends

So. Today I had class basically 10:30-5:30. The guy beside me played a megaman emmulation in MATH, PHYS was boring, and we got out of our PHYS lab early, like 4:15. I then thought to go sharing, but ended up having a long conversation with IL who I met on the first week of school in September in my PHYS class, but I kinda never talked to her until this semester. She's really cool. She's Chinese, but her parents lived in Cambodia and then they left on a boat during a war or something. She went to All-Saints and is in Chemistry. We talked until like 5:30. I was trying to end up in a spiritual conversation, but never really got there. In anycase, its not really very nice in my opinion to just ... I don't know what I'm saying. In any case I will have more conversations with her and we'll see where relational evangelism gets me and those around me. After she left I ended up trying to start talking to some people but got distracted by some other people I knew. I caught up with YA who is not really in my classes this semester..? After that I approached two people and discovered that 'Earth Science' is mainly determining the hardness of rocks... xP I bussed with RL to TM's, I mean PETAG, for YA and then we had YA.

Ya... I was gonna do stuff when I got home, but YA seems to go really late this semester. xP

I seem to be making friends out of my acquaintances from last semester. I've been talking more with KG and ALY and just ya, talking to people I see around. I still havn't physically been in CHEM class since last last Friday however.... xP

Ttyl I guess.

Relational Evangelism

So, whatsup..?

I just went sharing with RM. He seems to be 100% toward relational evangelism and sharing with people you already know. He is in business and just happens to know 90 percent of the asians we see... XP That is slightly exagerated, but it gets the idea across.

In any case, today we went out sharing the real life kits and ended up giving out 3. We had a few small talks with some people who weren't really interested and gave them to people who were interested, but too busy.

So, although we never really got into a spiritual conversation, we went around and talked to a number of people.

I really do want to make more friends than I currently have. This is just how I am. When I first came to Carleton.... No... Actually, I still do... I look around expecting to see people I know. I really like having a lot of friends.

I can definately have a conversation with JC or V(?) if I wanted to. I had class with them while I was blogging earlier, so she was interested.

On The Greyhound

Hey.

So, I got on the second bus going to Ottawa because there were a lot of people.

I got on the bus, prayed that I would be able to share with someone on the bus. Then no one sat beside me...

I was kinda irked that the easiest person the share with (the person stuck sitting beside you for 5 hours) did not exist... So, I got out my handy dandy cell phone and sent a "Happy New Year" message to all my non-Christian contacts with the intent of having a spiritual conversation.

When we got to Scarbourough there were a few more people boarding the bus. Now there is an asian guy sitting beside me, but I have a constantly buzzing cell phone........ And he's kinda sleeping now. XP.... When we stop (which I think we should be doing at some point on a 5 hour trip) I will go talk to some people and after I will talk to him.

Also, there are a couple girls from WC on the bus a couple seats behind me. XP... They are talking a little loudly about random things.

Thought

I would really like to have asian house mates. XPP.

This thought is coming from my current white roommates deciding to have Macdonalds for supper even though its kinda far and there's korean bbq across the road..........

Also, TB doesn't buy asian food because he can (if he wanted to) have some of his asian house mate's food. XPP....

My asian house mate does not buy food. XP

So, ya.

Subways are Fast and Crowded.

So, I managed to find my way to the subway and pay the fare. Any minute now the sub will be here and I'll be significantly closer to the hotel.

XP...... There are a lot of asians here. XP

D.Fa

Also, the subway is kinda ghetto looking and very very fast and way less bumpy than the o-train. The o-train is lame!! XP
