Awesome Creation

So. Hey.

My cell phone was confiscated Friday night, so I couldn't blog this weekend.

Part of the point of the camping trip is to get away from technology and electronics, but ya. This post is going to be a summary of the trip and I'm gonna start at Friday.

So, I woke up and had to finish choosing songs. Apparently I missed a couple though, but really I had to figure out how to print a document that was on my laptop. I thought emailing it to my computer would ruin the formatting because my laptop was all like older ms word's might not keep the same formatting and the whole point of a large portion of the day Thursday / Friday was formatting the document, so I tried to set up my printer to my laptop... It was taking so long, so while that was happening I also emailed myself and the formatting was fine. This was like 10 minutes after I should have been leaving my house... xP I also hadn't really finished shoving stuff into my bag. I ended up forgetting my towel which is hanging on the back of my door because I never threw it on the pile of stuff I was taking.

So, ya.

We were camping in Gatineau Park by Lac Phillipe. This is the same camping site as two years ago. (This is an annual camping trip for the YF in our church.) So, for the missions trip next week we bought walkie talkies so we were testing them out on the camping trip sometimes. NC is funny.

The first night Pastor DB broke the B string on the guitar... xP It was fine, but there was no B string, so like the chords kinda had a low chord and then a high note. xP

At like 11, we were told to get ready for bed and stuff. The other guys tent was pretty loud... xP There were 5 guys in it and really there wasn't enough room, so JS had to lie on top of them... xP This caused much of the noise. By like 12 almost everyone was making an attempt to go to sleep, except for Pastor DB and TM who were talking quietly at the fire, and the boys tent. They were being quite loud and everyone was telling them to be quiet. Nothing worked until HK, after unzipping her tent, yelled "Boys, if you don't stop talking you're going to be cleaning all the dishes tommorow!" Pastor DB and TM thought she was yelling at them and immediately went to bed. xP It was silent after she yelled. xP

AL gave a cool bible study on Prayer Saturday morning, we went to Mont Cascades (I got burned. xP), there were group activites / competitions which ended in everyone sharing bubbles / smores.

The meals were fine. At sometimes there was a bit too little for everyone, but overall it was fine.

We spent a good portion of our free time playing this game that all the YA have been playing recently. I still have only won once... The game 'Monopoly Deal' is pretty fun, but when you have 7 people playing, the game gets kinda messy. We stayed up until 2 playing yesterday. xP That last game was intense. Here's an online demo if you want to know how to play. http://uk.pogo.com/hotdeploy/uk/promotions/marketing/monopoly-deal/ I bought the game on Tuesday, so I can play it too. xP

Today we (my tent) woke up at 8 and then changed, packed up, ate breakfast, then it was time for church. This year, mostly for the parents who would have to come pick us up and possibly miss church Pastor DB decided to have two services; One in the Park and one back at OCBC. No parents showed up for it though. xP

After we got back to OCBC, I stayed and helped the worship team by doing A/V (all the A/V people were on the camping trip. xP) so I heard the sermon twice. It was about the extraordinary schemes of the devil in our lives. Which is very clear to us because our friend has gone through a lot, but that's all I will say on my blog.

The main reason that having my phone taken away this weekend was troublesome is because I like taking pictures of cool still lifes or landscapes and we were in the Gatineau hills, which are so cool. So, ya... that was annoying, bu t I borrowed SB's camera and CC's camera sometimes.

Aside from all that stuff is only the most amazing point.

I seriously spent at least an hour or so just lying on the ground looking at the stars this weekend. I seriously really like looking at the stars when I am in an area with less light pollution. And there were no clouds. none. It was sooo awesome. Like yesterday I spent at least 20 minutes lying on the ground, at about 1 am (it wasn't that cold last night.), staring at God's amazing creation praying. Like, your creation is so amazing and I can't even take a picture of it or express it in words. I deffinately saw like 5 shooting stars last night.

I'm just really glad that I got to spend this weekend in fellowship with all those guys and soon I'll get to spend a week in New York with some of them.

I'll talk to you later.

"Hey AL. I don't feel I talked to you very much this weekend, but sometimes it takes more then words. Just being together under that sky was fun. ROFL. lol... I don't have a girlfriend."

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..........

"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... >.>

So, ya.

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.]
