So, it's nearly Wednesday... I guess the week disappeared. lol
Monday was all about my Phys chem lab. All morning working so hard to finish that on time. Then I had a lab, prayer meeting, a break and then we got ready to go to Dundas for a pizza outreach.
There were six of us going, so we met in Oasis and prayed. You see, as part of my DG we take turns organizing and implementing an outreach. This week MW planned to go onto DB's floor in res and have pizza, have open conversation, a game or two and build friendships from there. I personally had thought that MW is kinda, like, focusing only on DB as our main first year guy. Whenever he does this I think that he's like ignoring the other guys, SM, JS, MC, etc. I think I'm not fully loving of MW. It's really cool that he's taking the initiative and building into DB so much though.
Anyways, there were a lot of people. We knocked (politely) on people's doors and when told there was free pizza they positively and in an interested tone asked 'seriously?' There were a lot of girls. We only realized that we hadn't asked any C4C girls to come with us as of, like, 30 minutes before the outreach. xP...
It was cool. We had 5 pizzas. We played mafia and some people told some stories. LT basically told the prodigal son story, but it was actually the true story of this girl he knew, what was her name again..? Burnadette? Nope. Anne. Sure, that's easier to say! lol (He didn't know. Those were the names suggested). Yup.
I'm looking forward to 'Story of the Soul: Hope' next Friday night.
Anyways, I got home from the party and had to study for my midterm in organic chemistry this morning. TJN and I studied late into the night. It was actually the first time I had seen some of the material... I missed one lecture and it was a pretty important one. >.>
This morning CW's alarm went off at 7:16. It's just the radio, but he listens to the radio really loudly, so either I wake up or lie in bed with my hands full pressure over my ears to block the noise, which is no way to sleep.
Oh! I had a dream. NM was in my dream. I was at some Banjo and Kazooie convention of some sort (mainly playing levels that don't actually exist, but that I've played in dreams before) and NM and his girlfriend show up and of course we have a giant hug and he's smiling that ridiculous smile as always. That's as much as I remember, well there was also this part about a music note I couldn't find in one level, but that's unimportant. I miss NM... He was like the first guy I met in Vancouver before going to East Asia. He has this crazy haircut that's like really long on one side of his head and short on the other. He also has rainbow shorts that are shorter than his boxers. lol..... We ran together once during Orientation.
Anyways, ya. I went to school early. TJN had invited me to audit his stats class and study for orgo. Yep. I learned a lot in that hour and a half. I'm pretty sure I aced the test.
Then I managed to get a good deal of my Biochem lab done. Then I had a bio lab and got a plant! lol. We were cutting them up last week, but now we aren't so our lab coordinator was giving them away. I have this deep set idea that my lab coordinator was the teacher for my plant bio mini program in grade 8... I don't know. maybe. I really like plants. xP.
Then I got some work done on my discussion for the Biochem lab, prayer meeting, stats class, train and bus home, massive amount of rice and one piece, Fun with Dick and Jane (which brought back good memories with my brother), and now I continue to procrastinate instead of studying for my physical chemistry midterm tomorrow. >.<

October in a post. Also this evening.
I'm really really really really really really (add a few more 'really's) excited right now. lol
So, ya. This month hasn't been the best. I mean, with all the wasted time from procrastinating on top of the massive amounts of schoolwork I have had recently I haven't been able to go sharing on campus and talk with students about God or the gospel. I was getting really really frustrated at that. Ya. I mean with all the time God is giving me and all the opportunities just sitting there.
Ya. So, I've been really excited for my friend this week. She got accepted to go on STINT! I'm praying for her and praying for myself too. I really want to go on project again this year (as I'm sure you know by now... lol).
This month I've been able to meet up with KC a few times and do a couple short Bible lessons. Being able to spend time with him in God's word and even just having time to talk with him has been good. I think I value times spent with friends doing nothing in particular so much more now than I used to.
My one on one discipleship with LT has started too. I've really wanted discipleship for a while. We are going through a personal develop plan planning thing. I haven't had time to sit down and just ask God to help me with it though, so I'm not going anywhere with it right now...
Ya, this week has been pretty bad maybe..? I'm not too sure. lol (I feel like I just blogged this stuff earlier..?) Ya, but ya.... lol. Today was good. Have I ever mentioned that I sometimes serve as worship leader at my church (Ottawa Chinese Bible Church)? Well, I do sometimes and it's always pretty rough until the day of. Like, I'm not a very good leader in the sense that I don't authoritatively take lead unless there's no one else in the group that I feel is more suitable as leader. I also don't get around to finalizing the setlist until the night before practice and ya... But the day of everything seems to just click into place. xP
In Ottawa (Carleton and uOttawa) each year we have an event called 'The Epic Project Party' which is like an event to tell people in Campus for Christ about the available projects and opportunities to go to the world and go on a 1 or 6 week missions trip during reading week or the summer. Last year's was amazing (it sounded like) and again I had a midterm that prevented me from going. Apparently LT shared a really good metaphor. There's an orchard of apple trees, like 10000 acres. There is one owner of the orchard and the land. He hires 100 apple pickers and goes away because he's busy or something and asks them to pick the apples while he is gone. So there is the main building on the land and 94 of the workers stay within the 800 acres directly around the orchard and 6 workers went a bit further. All the trees were in season and producing good fruit, but the 94 workers worked and picked so many of the apples that they decided to start making better equipment and crates and ladders and procedures for picking the apples. They picked the trees clean. However, the other 6 workers had 9200 acres to work on. They worked non-stop and saw apples dropping all around them. They came back and saw all the new equipment and stuff, but the trees had been fully picked and the 94 weren't picking any more apples while there were thousands rotting just a bit further away. What would the owner say when he gets back? Did they do the job he left them?
In the same way, the harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few in the missions field. Matthew 9:37-38
There are statistics thrown around about how much of our resources are sent to the unreached population of the world that I can't remember at this exact moment, but it's really high, like only 3% of missionaries go to unreached areas..? (Don't quote me on that.)
In any case, this evening I got to go see a Japanese movie called 'Always: Sunset on Third Street 2' a film from 2007. It was really good. In the end love was stronger than money. It was a tear-jerker. lol I didn't go alone to the movie. No. I went with six other people. The International Student Services Office organized us going to see it. The volunteer in charge was from China, there were two girls from Japan, a guy from Greece, a guy from Poland, a guy from Nigeria and me. It was really good. I got to meet them and talk to them and build friendships. I ended up talking a lot with one girl K(?) a bit about East Asia and a bunch about random stuff like Saturday morning anime when we were kids. xP I also got to talk a lot with the guy from Poland, M(?). He's taking Law so we were talking about cases and stuff. About justice and so I brought up the case from the Un.Cover magazine and about the injustices done to Jesus, so basically I shared the gospel. xP We then talked on the bus too about East Asia. So, I was really excited about how God brought me out this evening and used me and will continue using me if I offer myself to be used.
I really see how the nations are brought to us on campus. How there are so many international students from all over the world and even Carleton campus is a missions field in itself. My friend JXW. Her mom is from the commonwealth of Dominica. I've really felt like I should talk to her about God. I mean, we're good friends now and that shouldn't stop me either. Gah.
Ya. Monday we are having an outreach on campus in one of the dorms. A pizza party thing in the lounge on one of the floors.
So, ya. Pray for me and Carleton and International students and projects (East Asia and Desert Rain projects are a go!) and STINT and for my connection with God (I'm still not having good quiet times) and stuff in general. Let's see where God leads me and let's see how many oportunites God gives me to rely on His Spirit and just proclaim the good news to those who are desperately in need of a Saviour.

大大前天 和 大前天
Ok, I've been pretty buried in light work recently. I've also been not at home during the time I normally blog, so ya. This will be a summary..?
Thursday:
I honestly don't remember much about Thursday. >.> I'm pretty sure it was a jam packed day of classes and labs. I think I wasted a lot of time again on facebook and youtube and was really feeling guilty and upset with myself for all of the time I have wasted this week. I still had a lab report due on Friday and I really hadn't done very much of it. By this point I was hoping to have been done and able to start the next lab report which was due monday. I don't think I stayed up too late..?
Friday:
I walked to school because I had planned on not biking home. My first discipling with LT. He had bought a new camera app for his new phone. Well, he also had this really cool smart alarm clock app that measures how much you roll around while sleeping and from that tells when you are in REM, light or deep sleep and wakes you up when you are almost awake up to half an hour before your actual alarm time. It seems really cool. We started going over my personal development plan. As JW knows, I'm not always the most responsive or thoughtful person, and when it got to the question about which verse or promise you'd like to claim for the year, or which command or exhortation to keep in mind, I had nothing. I prayed about it. I had two phrases come to mind: 'feed my sheep' and 'keep in step with the Spirit'. >.< Hmmm... LT thought that the first one might have something to do about loving God more, which is definitely something I need to grow in. I really don't know why these came to mind. I hadn't read those verses in a while. I intend to reread them soon.
I then left to go to my meeting with KC. Today's lesson was about our relationship and fellowship with God. Our relationship as children of God, offered to all who believe, is not broken ever. However, unconfessed sin can break our fellowship with God. When it came to 'repentance' and the definition given being 'a change in attitude which will result in a change of action', I asked if he could give an example. He, ya, didn't think the same way I was asking the question, I meant, like based on this definition is there a 'real-life' (meaning not sin-related) example that fits it? So, I gave this example about how I use microwavable plastic containers. My housemates keep telling me how it's not healthy. My change in attitude towards the plastic containers would lead to me not using them anymore. (Fyi, my attitude to microwaveable plastic containers has not changed, so kinda a bad example, but anyways...) I'm excited to continue meeting with him and I really hope God changes him and does great things through him.
Chem lab- shorter than usual.
Then I got to help LT carry pumpkins into the C4C weekly meeting room. Then I was official greeter. !!! Two of the guys I followed up with back in the beginning of September finally came to Weekly Meeting!!! Not that this is the only way to get involved, but it's the fastest way of integrating, making new friends, seeing what C4C is about and feeling the full experience. BS and MdS! Anyways, during Weekly meeting JB gave her first talk. Later we carved pumpkins! They were really cool and it was a lot of fun. Then we smashed two of the four pumpkins because no one wanted them. We went to Loeb and stood on the roof and dropped them like two floors. XP (We cleaned it up.)
Then me and AL bussed to EE's house. She was having a movie marathon. One reason we went was actually just so that we had somewhere we could be during another video chat with our EA family. This was done mainly for MC who wasn't able to join us last time, however, she couldn't join us again. lol. I got to see PW finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! T.T Typing this right now is making me tear too... I swear, that was like the saddest moment ever (recently), leaving her alone at the hotel and bussing to the airport without really having a good goodbye... and she was crying... T.T But she was her happy, crazy, super asian self again. T.T (tears of joy) We'll need to do it again for MC and because not everyone was on at once. xP
So, in the end, at EE's I ate a pile of candy (my main meal of the day), watched part of 'Psycho' and the start of 'the Shining', video chatted in EE's room, and slept through the rest of 'The Shining'... lol... We got a drive home from AL's nocturnal (I'm exagerating) dad at like 4am.

Vulnerable
Exploitation of Vulnerability. That is the simple definition of Human Trafficking. Whether it applies to Eastern European women being abducted and sold into the sex trade, or children sold by their parents in Cambodia, or women who earn more by being in the sex trade so they can provide for their families, it's all exploitation of their vulnerability.
Yesterday I went to a Young Adults group out in Glocester because of a facebook invite to it. They were showing a movie about human trafficking and the sex trade. It was a documentary called 'Nefarious: Merchant of Souls'. It was a very powerful movie. They interviewed many experts in the feild, they visited different countries, they interviewed victims of abduction, prostitution, they interviewed johns and traffickers, they got a very unbiased view from every perspective and it really shows how wrong it really is. Some of the statements in the movie were pretty strong. Like prostitution of women is as simple as men masturbating into a woman and nothing more. The imagery and reality of what is happening worldwide is shocking when we live in a country so separated from most of the obvious symptoms, but it's very real in North America too.
The movie kind of kept going in a negative spiral and it kept going until it got to this one point near the end and hope entered into the movie. A real life transforming hope and new life for the victims (not only the women and children, but even the men trapped in this system). God loves each and every one of us. He values us as His precious children. No matter what we have done or how far from him we have strayed, through all that He has done, He offers freedom and abundant life to all that believe in His name.
Ya, it was a really good movie and I recommend it. It also is getting me really excited for our January campaign 'iCrave Freedom' to raise awareness about human trafficking and modern day slavery.
Ya.
Today I went to the end of the month prayer meeting for the first time since June. It was good. We were mainly focused on our building search because by March we will have to find somewhere else to worship and gather, so we've been praying for God to show us where to go. This week a building on Richmond has come into our sights and so tonight we went there and prayed. It's a very warm and cozy building. It's very well kept too. The only thing is that it might be a little bit small. We can probably fit for joint services and stuff, but big meals where we invite other people too may get a bit crowded. Its definitely an interesting short-term option.

Function and Form
So, whenever I don't blog regularly either I'm pretty busy or I'm turtling and hiding from sin issues in my life. This time it was business. Or rather, just not being at home this weekend and then being busy.
Friday. lol. Umm. Ya. Then I got to school and had things booked until Saturday at 3pm. What? Ya, Raven's Log meeting, A scheduled discipleship meeting with KC (he had errands), a lab with associated report I had to hand in and wasn't done because I slept in, Campus for Christ Weekly Meeting and then off to church. The RL meeting was short so me and TJN went to SC/RP's dorm and worked on our labs. lol. Good times. I managed to get the lab report done and get to it on time. The lab was pretty interesting. Liquid-Liquid extraction. =P Ended early, a bit. C4C Weekly Meeting was awesome. DP[not the same DP. a similar DP. lol we both went to EA, but this DP was on a different team] was there! and S(?)!?! He was in my Japanese class back in grade 12. I never really knew him very well though, so, I guess I don't actually know him. xP It's still cool.
Then we hung out in Oasis and when they were all going to McD's to get McFlurrys I was going the opposite way off to church. You see, we are still in a temporary location. Actually this March we will most likely be the very latest we can stay here. Although it's huge and has been a real blessing to have, it really is falling apart, so buying it was probably a bad idea anyways, so thanks God for not having that happen. Ya, there are a number of short term possibilities in schools or universities. There are also the two main long term possibilities now on the radar. 1. Buying a piece of land in Centrepoint and building a new church there. (The government is very very slow) 2. Buying a church building from another church who aren't able to stay in their own building at the moment. We want to ask God for his guidance, opening and closing doors and really getting us where he wants us to be, so all month we are having '30 days of prayer' for this and this weekend we were having a '24 hour prayer chain' meaning 24 hours where someone was always in the church praying for the building search. For the middle of the night shifts we just had a youth and young adult sleepover party at the church.
We played games and worshiped and skyped and watched a movie and prayed and worshiped some more and slept a little and ate muffins for breakfast. The movie was 'highschool musical China'. It was really funny. xP I had the 3:30-4am prayer shift, so when the movie finished I just did more 'late night' worship with FL and R(?). The way worship worked was that someone calls out a song and we use Ultimate Guitar to get the chords / lyrics and project it onto a large screen so that everyone could see including whoever was playing. xP So good. I got to sleep a bit. I wasn't really planning on it, but everyone else (except Z(?)) was asleep, and I was pretty tired after only getting 5 hours the night before. I got two hours from 5:15-7:15 on a cold carpeted floor. Z(?) is really nice. He gave me his hoodie and then his sleeping bag when I was super cold in the morning. >.< He's pretty mature too. and responsible.
Worship practice started at 10. I wasn't on team, lol. At 1 our worship leader study continued from where we left off in April (or maybe March..?), except that we will be going at a faster pace since reading one chapter a month would take us nearly three years... >.> Ya, it was good.
Then I bussed to school for a really bad audition. She seemed enthusiastic that I could sing though. >.>
Then I bussed home (so much harder this year and especially on the weekends), had a rather large meal and watched too much anime then apparently I passed out on my bed at 8 instead of doing my Phys Chem prelab and playing guitar as I had planned to do... I awoke at 3am to find that I had done as such. I continued to sleep until 6.
Worked a bit on my prelab then bussed to church. You have to leave an hour before church to get there with the current bus system, which is kinda annoying. But, ya, not that bad. Sunday school was good. Service was good. AL invited JC and she enjoyed it. Although it was a bit awkward sharing my Bible with her... >.<
I got a drive to work since JS and I neeeeeeeeeeeeded rice and DZ lives near there. I checked my schedule (no work this week! w00t!) and my coworker tried to pursuade me to work more since my 'replacement' isn't the best at working hard and getting things done. I did a bit of grocery shopping and in the end bought the last remaining Rooster brand bag of rice (40lbs) and bussed home with it.
I can't wait to stirfry. Hehe =P
Umm. Lunch. Prelab. One Piece. Bus to church again. Leader Study on the book of Acts. Pretty interesting. When I finally got home we had a house meeting. Very funny. lol.
I have a BIOL assignmnet due tomorrow, so Ttyl!

PS. Portugal!!!
Friday. lol. Umm. Ya. Then I got to school and had things booked until Saturday at 3pm. What? Ya, Raven's Log meeting, A scheduled discipleship meeting with KC (he had errands), a lab with associated report I had to hand in and wasn't done because I slept in, Campus for Christ Weekly Meeting and then off to church. The RL meeting was short so me and TJN went to SC/RP's dorm and worked on our labs. lol. Good times. I managed to get the lab report done and get to it on time. The lab was pretty interesting. Liquid-Liquid extraction. =P Ended early, a bit. C4C Weekly Meeting was awesome. DP[not the same DP. a similar DP. lol we both went to EA, but this DP was on a different team] was there! and S(?)!?! He was in my Japanese class back in grade 12. I never really knew him very well though, so, I guess I don't actually know him. xP It's still cool.
Then we hung out in Oasis and when they were all going to McD's to get McFlurrys I was going the opposite way off to church. You see, we are still in a temporary location. Actually this March we will most likely be the very latest we can stay here. Although it's huge and has been a real blessing to have, it really is falling apart, so buying it was probably a bad idea anyways, so thanks God for not having that happen. Ya, there are a number of short term possibilities in schools or universities. There are also the two main long term possibilities now on the radar. 1. Buying a piece of land in Centrepoint and building a new church there. (The government is very very slow) 2. Buying a church building from another church who aren't able to stay in their own building at the moment. We want to ask God for his guidance, opening and closing doors and really getting us where he wants us to be, so all month we are having '30 days of prayer' for this and this weekend we were having a '24 hour prayer chain' meaning 24 hours where someone was always in the church praying for the building search. For the middle of the night shifts we just had a youth and young adult sleepover party at the church.
We played games and worshiped and skyped and watched a movie and prayed and worshiped some more and slept a little and ate muffins for breakfast. The movie was 'highschool musical China'. It was really funny. xP I had the 3:30-4am prayer shift, so when the movie finished I just did more 'late night' worship with FL and R(?). The way worship worked was that someone calls out a song and we use Ultimate Guitar to get the chords / lyrics and project it onto a large screen so that everyone could see including whoever was playing. xP So good. I got to sleep a bit. I wasn't really planning on it, but everyone else (except Z(?)) was asleep, and I was pretty tired after only getting 5 hours the night before. I got two hours from 5:15-7:15 on a cold carpeted floor. Z(?) is really nice. He gave me his hoodie and then his sleeping bag when I was super cold in the morning. >.< He's pretty mature too. and responsible.
Worship practice started at 10. I wasn't on team, lol. At 1 our worship leader study continued from where we left off in April (or maybe March..?), except that we will be going at a faster pace since reading one chapter a month would take us nearly three years... >.> Ya, it was good.

How can I say this nicely?
I want to go to bed now... Can we stop playing video games now?
Well, it doesn't really matter, but I need to wake up in 7 hours and I'm dead tired... This is what you get for having an Arts student as a roommate.
Just kidding, about my annoyance. It's kinda happening, but only because I haven't said anything...
Whatever.
Today I went to church by bus. This involves walking over to Fisher and then bussing downtown, and transferring then walking down Churchill to church. The 16 was 14 minutes late. >.> I was starting to get annoyed, but then the bus driver said good morning and I forgot about it. I love good bus drivers. lol. They just make your day.
We started Sunday school. We're gonna be in the same groups for 12 weeks instead of the usual 6 because on of the courses are extra long, so the other groups are just sticking together after the first 6 weeks and doing another one. I kinda forgot that I had done the one I'm in now. I guess it's good then. lol
SC came to church today! I think it's about time we had the talk. RL slept in. Keep praying for him!
After the service as usual we took time to decide where we would go for lunch. The final decision was hotpot or Pho. I ended up at little fat sheep mongolian hotpot, but the prices had gone up, so we left. lol. We went to the Billing's Bridge food court instead. It's not really about the food, it's about the time we get to spend together.
Then at 3 we got home. Time to start my homework. 5pm came around and I had done nothing, well nothing that was actually on my imminent to do list, just something I meant to do a long time ago. lol. Thanks to RZ for making me type out how my summer went. I ended up facebook stalking most of the email addresses for my EA extended family members (meaning some people on the other teams). After that I actually got to work and read 50 pages in my Biochem textbook... That took so long and I knew most of it. >.>
I finished watching 'Only Yesterday', a Ghibli film from a number of years ago. It's a very nice film. Recommended. It's about a girl who goes to work in the country because she always wanted to live there when she was a kid. She has many flashbacks to grade 5 and it's also got some romance in it. I started watching it because I wanted to watch Arietty, the second newest Ghibli film, but then I realized I hadn't seen a couple.
I also finally watched the season finale to SC's 'myDrama' on youtube. lol. So much build up and then he ends up doing something off script. So hilarious though. It seriously doesn't look like a season finale, it looks like a series finale.
By the way, I auditioned for a play, I am likely going to join FootPatrol, CUJA and also help SC with his youtube club.
David Choi is still awesome.
Ttyl. I'm gonna try to sleep.

Random Stuff
So, I still have a lot of things to do. And they are all at the top of a 'I should do this immediately' list. In other word they should all be done by now, but are not... Applying to be a facil for orientation next year, writing up my resume for summer job applications, doing my bio lab, etc.
And, so I have played google chrome bounceball, watched pokemon, watched friends, just wasted a lot of time in general.
I don't really like Dragon Ball all that much. Also, filming a movie that doesn't have a script yet in the dark in winter is very sketchy. I don't know why, but it's just so much easier for me to act like the bad guy.
I put my Paramore CDs on my cell phone. xP I'm jazzed about this. lol
SC thinks that there is no way that I can get my school work done with my schedule being the way it is. I would have to agree. I should be mega super failing everything, but somehow I'm doing well, I guess.
Anyways, I really don't have anything to talk about.
lol... My internet died when I was about to post this (I meant to post it four days ago... xP), so, ya... lol

21. Wow.
So.
I just finished watching 'Trust'. It was a very interesting movie. A very large percentage of the dialogue was to the point and in a direct question followed by a direct answer kind of style followed by a quick change of topic and then the same.
It was an Indie film and had non-professional actors. It really is way more real when it isn't people who are trained to act. The main actress had this really annoyingly squeaky high pitch voice. But that is real. XP
On another note my family is considerably less insane than either of the families in the movie.
Also, there is a lot of problems in this world. A lot of problems. Finding a boyfriend / girlfriend is not the solution. Getting your kids to do all the work for you is not the answer. Being 'in control' of the world around you is not the cure. Knowing all the problems is not going to fix them.
Sometimes, 1000 characters is not enough to fully get whatever I'm thinking about across, this is especially the case if I don't really know what I am typing while I am typing it, I mean if I'm just going off of my head. And because there isn't a bunch of stuff I need to write down, I don't feel the need to write a second text post... This however leads to me trying to wrap up as soon as I can once I get to around 960 characters.
In any case, the point is that this world is messy. Based on what I saw in the movie, I thought, that a personal relationship of love, trust, respect and admiration would be a dandy solution. However, on a second thought, it really wasn't. The world was still messy. Very messy.
What if this messy world was it..? What if we had to just deal with it, as I have often said..? I'm pretty sure that for the next week or so, I will be doing a short series of posts (possibly with some random phone posts in between, but I hope not) about
people, life, God, and some stuff that is super important.
Ya. xP...

PS. I was thinking "1990 that's a pretty old movie, eh? The movie is 21 years old." and AL says something that made me realize I am 19. I just said 21 was old. 19 is old. My world just exploded.

Changing Opinions II.
So, yay! Another blog post from Film class 5 minute breaks!
This movie looks like it might be intersting. We just saw a clip from the same director(Hal Hartley)'s first movie and since this term is about the auteur and how they have similar styles throughout the movies they direct, tonight's movie 'Trust' will be along the same lines. It's from 1990 and although it's not HD it's in colour and should be funny. XPP
So, ya. CW is struggling with his neuroscience class for his minor in Psych. He asked me about some stuff like phospholipid bilayers and protien synthesis and I was just smiling. XP After doing these things for 2 or 3 years you think they are common knowledge. XP....
Also, hypothetically if MW and PO were to ever be in a fight I think I have changed my mind as to which one's side I would be on. I would have been on MW's side mostly because I barely knew PO, but now, I don't know. Although PO's sense of humour does not always line up with mine, I may be on his side. XP

Devotional Planner
Hey! Whatsup?
You know, I think that there is a feeling for when you are learning and today I learned a few things. I shall have to recap most of my day however to make my point.
So, at the beginning of my day I slept in a bit... I did not have enough time to get to school and go sharing (as far as I thought anyways) so I decided I should just go off to Loeb and work on my CHEM prelab which was due at 4:30. I also watched the demo video for the lab and finally knew what the lab manual meant.
Ya, so I went to Loeb and was going to go downstairs when I saw this 2010 devotional Day Planner. I sat down and went to see who it belonged to. I emailed her. She may not even need it, but it looks cool to me. It probably had some sentimental value..? In any case I took it so that it wouldn't be lost or anything.
First was a MATH tutorial. Since we have only had one lecture at this point, all we did was go over row echelon form and reduced row echelon forms... It's pretty easy. I did however learn that you don't need to have discrete numbers in a matrix, you can also have fractions.
After this we went to MATH class and did pretty much the same thing. She kinda yelled at us because we were on our laptops not paying attention and she told us how important it really is. It's like not learning the alphabet. How can you expect to read and write without the alphabet..?
After that was another fun filled PHYS lecture with Dr. Donkers. (That's his name.) He is quite boring and will often stop talking mid sentence to look at us blankly for a few seconds...... I learned F=qE.
After that was my CHEM lab. Today we were making Salicylic acid, a precursor of aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid). It was a boring lab... First we got our new lab partners. Mine looks okay. Then we found out that there weren't enough round-bottom flasks, so we had to split into groups of 3. In general, the lab was like boiling, filtering and disolving a solution like 3 times.... Ya. It ended early anyways, so that was cool.
I hadn't gone sharing yet (as I had planned to that morning, this morning... xP so long ago...), so me and DK who has the CHEM lab at the same time went. We talked to one girl starting at like 5:45. She seemed to have a relativistic view of things, but agreed in heaven and God. It was a good conversation and it only took maybe 10 minutes. By the way, she had earbuds in when we went over to her. xP All three of us had class at 6, so it was cool. I gave her a Knowing God Personally booklet which summarizes what we were talking about and I wrote my email on the back in case she had any questions. I don't think DK has really gone sharing on campus too much, but he was doing well for just talking off the top of his head.
That was not evangelerving. That was a real spiritual conversation.
So, ya. I learned that it doesn't take an hour to have a good conversation.
Ya. I then had FILM class and I got to talk to JW for a few minutes before class. I havn't seen her in a couple months. This was partially because I've been sitting with P(?) since the C4C res pizza outreach night and because she has been watching the movies before class so she can leave earlier. Today we watched "Wild Strawberries" I thought it was really good. Our prof was saying that there are some cases in which the only medium that a film could take place in with the same effect is Film and in the movie there were times where a book could not have done it, a buch of pictures could not have done it, theatre could not have done it, but a video was perfect.
It ended early, I got home at 9:15ish after seeing MB at the bus stop, I cooked the ground beef so that it won't rot when I'm gone Friday and Saturday, and then my phone started ringing. I was in the middle of making a salad when it started ringing. I picked it up. It was VW, the owner of the devotional planner. She seemed very relieved to know that I had it. She seemed mildly surprised that I was also Christian. She thought it was random. So, tommorow around 1 I will be going back to where I found it and returning it.
You know... I always try to plan things out. The more I plan the worse things end up. God's plan is better than our plans. If I hadn't slept in I wouldn't have gone sharing with DK, I wouldn't have found the planner, I wouldn't have known what to do in the lab...
Ya. xP

PS. The jokes on the Steacie Building chalkboards are the best. xP LOL. Sn-apple! xPPP Heisenburg's wife can't find her keys. Explaination..? "You probably know too much about their momentum." LOL. Ferrous Wheel! xP They are just so good. xP

The Word is Spelt "E-v-a-n-g-e-l-i-z-e"...
Hey, so. Today was a fail.
I skipped CHEM. I watched 'Inception'. I bought vegetables. I bought more vegetables. I went to DG. I ate a GIANT salad. I drank over a litre of chocolate milk. I did one chapter of MATH homework. I went by bike to buy 8 litres of milk. That doesn't include the fail.
So, today before DG I attempted to go sharing.
I wasted half an hour. Then I finally went up to one guy. He was asian. He was reading notes. He is in Engineering Physics and he is atheist. He says that he likes to have some faith in the work of scientists in the past.
I had no idea what I should say, so I kinda left without really saying very much... He seemed confused... xP...... That is what I will call 'Evangelerving'. lol...
So, in Sunday school we were reviewing the first 3 weeks of the 6 week course we are doing because we were 2 weeks ahead of the other classes... Anyways, we were talking about taking every opportunity given to you and we were talking about the Winter Conference message from Allen Self about using every tool you have and we couldn't really remember the third point of his talk. The first two were "Observe" and "Serve". So LT suggested that the third one should be more memorable and that this should be done by making it rhyme with the other two. He suggested the 'word' "Evangelerve". Our whole class was laughing hysterically. It doesn't really sound like a very pleasant word...
Ya... I hope to continue evangelising everyday. Tuesdays will be hard though............. 10-9.... ya. I'll have to wake up early.
Also, in DG we were discussing Luke 12 about how the Pharisees were hypocrites. The main point we got was that you can't be forgiven if you refuse to accept the only way that you can be forgiven. RM and MW were kinda co-leading and I definately see them in a new light now. I always thought MW was perfect.
In any case...... I will talk to you later.

I wasted half an hour. Then I finally went up to one guy. He was asian. He was reading notes. He is in Engineering Physics and he is atheist. He says that he likes to have some faith in the work of scientists in the past.
I had no idea what I should say, so I kinda left without really saying very much... He seemed confused... xP...... That is what I will call 'Evangelerving'. lol...
So, in Sunday school we were reviewing the first 3 weeks of the 6 week course we are doing because we were 2 weeks ahead of the other classes... Anyways, we were talking about taking every opportunity given to you and we were talking about the Winter Conference message from Allen Self about using every tool you have and we couldn't really remember the third point of his talk. The first two were "Observe" and "Serve". So LT suggested that the third one should be more memorable and that this should be done by making it rhyme with the other two. He suggested the 'word' "Evangelerve". Our whole class was laughing hysterically. It doesn't really sound like a very pleasant word...
Ya... I hope to continue evangelising everyday. Tuesdays will be hard though............. 10-9.... ya. I'll have to wake up early.
Also, in DG we were discussing Luke 12 about how the Pharisees were hypocrites. The main point we got was that you can't be forgiven if you refuse to accept the only way that you can be forgiven. RM and MW were kinda co-leading and I definately see them in a new light now. I always thought MW was perfect.
In any case...... I will talk to you later.

"Are You Studying..?"
If I hate sin. Why do I want to so badly. Why are these thoughts in my head and in my dreams..? Ya... It's messed... Why are even my dreams perverse..?
Anyways... xP
Yesterday I realized that there are a number of instances where I will have sung a song for a long time and not actually known what the song was about. For example, I'm sure you all know Halleluia. Only on Friday did I realize that the David in the song was King David and that one of the verses was refering to Bathsheba.
Also, a lot of common songs get sung without really fully understanding them. And the more often they are sung, the less meaning they hold sometimes. Christmas songs for example have just become songs in my mind, but we were caroling yesterday and the second or third varses that I didn't really know very well had a lot more meaning than the ones I had known by heart. Those verses I knew were just lyrics to a song, but reading the words I didn't know..... I don't know where I am going with this.... xP
Ya.... xP Pay attention to the words the next time you sing something.
O... I got the "So, you're religious" comment today... xP.... It is weird to hear... I hope to be a good witness to him. xP ML works in Salad Bar / Produce. Today I helped out in Salad Bar for a few hours making veggie platters because Salad Bar was a bit behind because someone was 2.5 hours late to work this morning... but now that I am trained in Salad bar, I don't have to go ask if they need help, they will come to me. xP I'm glad I can be of help. I'm thinking of inviting him to the christmas eve service, but i don't know...
I was going to buy my mom "Despicable Me" for christmas, but then I found out that she had bought it for us. xP We were going to go see it for her birthday in July, but my brother had school and then I saw it with some YA........ I guess I will have to fall back to my original present idea. Shaving my moustache / beard.... I'm growing attached to it though... T.T
I just thought "man I use ellipsises a lot." xP
Ok, so. The other day BJ was trying to guess my middle name. I told her it started with a J. She couldn't get it. I told her it ended with an S and is 5 letters long. Her first 3 guesses after that clue were Judas, Jesus and James. I thought this was funny.
Umm... I don't know what else I can say right now, so I'll talk to you later.

Hey!
I should sleep soon, so I will attempt to make this quick while properly getting my point across. Here goes. xP
Tonight, no, today was really cool. Honestly I needed a break from school. Today I went to a missions conference thingee at church. There were speakers from our congregations as well as other organizations that our church is associated with (including C4C! xP ). I missed the epic project party last night ( C4C missions projects party thing. xP) and I really wanted to go. There would be a lot of info about what projects are, which projects are available, how you can get involed, etc. and I am kinda very somewhat interested in projects. >.> I can / will learn more at WC.
Anyways, this week I was asked if I could be a replacement worship team leader, and although I did not say yes, I did not say no either... xP even though it was definately not possible........ xP Like I could go to the practice and church on Sunday, but I did not have time this week to get the setlist together... I ended up staying after the missions thingee and being on worship team (bass/vocals) because it was right after. By the way, I am not really very good at singing in Mandarin (I was about to type 'Chinese' then realized I was not singing in 'Chinese' but mandarin. I wasn't even reading chinese. I was reading pinyin..?).
Me and CW played this really cool song after practice. NC did not like the way I was playing bass. I did. =DDDDDDD (in other words: really wide smile.)
Anyways, I got a ride home (I blogged at that point) and then had instant noodles while watching 'Family Guy' with RL.
I then went to MHS's production "6 Characters in Search of an Author". It was pretty cool. I like knowing people in the play. xP At the play I got to see a bunch of people I knew. A BUNCH including VB, JC, NJ, KFA, LT, JB, SD, DS, AS, MU, JT, MB, EG, FS, SS, JB, CN, PN, CW, TM, CB, DB, OD, EB, NW, MC, CK, and a bunch of other people. Almost all of the above people are / were drama people. This means that I was interacting in the way I would normally interact with drama people (a bit differently than the way I normally interact with people).
This combined with being asked earlier "If you could be any age for the rest of your life what would it be?" and thinking about how awesome grade 12 was, it made me really miss highschool / highschool drama. It's just so much more relaxed in highschool. xP However, if it were not for the fact that I live beside MHS, in a house in which I can bring over as many people as I want at whatever hour I want, and that I have a housemate that had Toy Story 3, this night would not have been nearly as amazing.
After the play, me, VB, CB and JC came over to my house (instead of crashing the cast party (50:50 chance and JC's coin chose movie)) to watch Toy Story 3. (TOTORO!!!!!!!! OMG!) It is pretty amazing. I havn't seen Toy Story in a while. I feel like I was in Elementary School when I saw Toy Story 2..?
Anyways, the point of this blog was to point out that I have rerealized that I really am blessed in a number of complicated ways that make an even bigger bunch of blessings. How I have been blessed:
-Amazing time at MHS
--many friends
--drama
--music
--just in general
-a semi-steady income which pays for
--band trips
--rent which means I have
---a house to which I can invite friends over
---housemates
-Church
--YF/ YA
--Camping Trips
--Missions Trip
--older and younger brothers/sisters
-C4C
--experiencing the mission of the church first hand.
-a number of other things I have forgotten at the moment... xP
So, ya. I'm in a good mood right now. xP

1 John 4:19
Hey.
I could not wake up again.... I didn't get out of bed until like 7:20. xP
Pro-tip: Oatmeal is a very fast meal to make. This is especially true when there is a kettle in your house. You can put the kettle on and do other things in that time, which is very short, and then eat oatmeal.
So, on the bus this morning I scrambled to read a text book and write down equations. I then went to my PHYS tutorial a couple minutes late and did my midterm (pretty easy, but I just don't understand elevator problems...). In the remaining two hours of my class time I went to Loeb Cafe and did some more Worship related things. Yesterday AH and VS were at our house and we watch "How to Train Your Dragon" (It is still very good) and talked and played ping-pong.
Apparently VS has difficulty singing without adding twang to the song. If she ever became a singer, it would have to be country music. She even does this in church apparently.
In an attempt to find songs for this weekend I have been asking people what their favourite worship songs are. I also looked for the song VS supposedly (as in I may have heard incorrectly..?) twangs to. It's cool. It's actually really cool.
So, ya. I only have like 3 of the 5 songs for Worship right now.... but all this time just listening to music, reading lyrics, singing to myself, praying, reading the bible in search of 'call to worship' passages, etc. has been really cool.
Anyways. I talked to KC today. We had MATH class together then we went to a med school workshop on applications, then we walked for a bit and I shared with him. We didn't sit down anywhere, we just walked through the tunnels. People were going by, it was echo-y and it seemed to me to be ... idk. xP. It was cool. It was kinda like sharing in front of a bunch of people. Everytime someone went by I'd be saying 'Jesus' or 'faith' or something.
I won't be going to Sunday school this weekend. I'm meeting KC at Baseline station around 10.
I should thank you guys for your prayers.
Thank you.
I should thank God too.
Oh heavenly Father, Lord, I thank you for just being in my life, that I may know you, that I can sing your praises. Lord, I thank you for pushing me outside my comfort zones and Lord, I thank you for sending your son to pay our debts. We could never pay them ourselves, no matter what we did and by your mercy, grace and justice we have been freed from our slavery and brought into a relationship with you. Lord, I thank you that you can work through me and through all your children to reach out and bring other brothers and sisters back to you. Lord, it isn't by our strength that we can bring others to you. It's not by our works that we can save others. It's not by our words that their hearts are changed. It is all because of your power and love for us that we can live a life in which we can know you personally. Lord, I pray for KC that he would grow and that you could show him more than I could ever tell him. Lord I pray that in everything I do it is for your glory. Lord. Thank you.
Anyways. Ya, I should be working on this set list / cleaning the kitchen / making supper..? / idk.

Of Bikes and Midterms.
So,
These last couple days have been up and down. Up and down mount Tiverton to be exact. It seems that my posting has been procrastinated by a series of more pressing matters / unfourtunate circumstances. I either have tried to start blogging and my laptop kinda restarted or I really had to study for my CHEM midterm... but in my free time while I should be studying Friday I biked to school after bussing home for lunch.
So, ya.
Yesterday was the first time I'd biked anywhere in like 7 years or something.
1. It is true, you never forget how to ride a bike.
2. You don't get any better at riding a bike by not riding one for 7 years.
3. Your legs really hurt after riding a bike to school after not biking for 7 years.
4. I'm still not good at going up hills on a bike.
5. Riding a bike on the roads is soooo scary.
6. It's kinda cold. My head and hands were kinda cold after biking.
7. I still am really scared of taking my hands off the handles.
8. My parents didn't like the fact that I had biked without a helmet.
9. My mom bought me a helmet.
10. I have a bike lock so that I don't have my bike stolen again.
11. It's like being able to 'drive' a two-wheeled car without a license.
I actually just went to buy milk. With my bike it takes like a couple minutes. xP
So, ya. Friday I had CHEM at 8:30-9:30, PHYS 10:30-11:30, a CHEM tutorial 11:30-12:30 and a CHEM midterm 6:30-8:00. Some people studied in every spare moment they had. I just cannot study on the day of tests/exams. I just can't. So, I went home at like 2 so I could eat something before the midterm. I decided to bike back. I actually had the chain get off the gears like a block from my house... xP After that everything was cool... except the hill and the fast cars flying by me.... xP
Anyways, the midterm was okay. Short answers had a lot of random stuff because our prof is really into atmospheric chemistry, but other than that everything was okay. Just before we started the proctor was like "If any of you has a cell phone on your person, you are currently in violation of the standards for exam writing. If this is the case, please stand up, walk to the back of the room and put them in your bags quietly." Half the room stood up.
After the midterm I went to CW's and we hung out. We had pasta, played Forza (I completely failed at it...... I could not go like 20 seconds without crashing and I was always spinning..... xP...) and just talked with JS and DK. They talk about really weird things.... xP
I biked home and got home at like 12. I did not go home the same way I went to school though. I went around by Viewmount on the way back. xP Much flatter.
This morning I woke up at like 11, read a book for a bit, finished rewatching 'Amelie' and then I went to my parents' for lunch (and other reasons like getting the rake for tommorow and getting new glasses, but a large reason was the free food. xP)
I probably have stuff to do, but just chilling once in a while is okay, right?
Did I mention the 'worship potluck' on Thursday for YA..? Again I failed at bringing anything, but some of the other stuff they shared was really cool and I helped sing the songs CW was playing on guitar although everyone was kinda.... >.>
JS was saying how he feels that we are his brothers / sisters. Like really I think of RL as a little brother and CW as a big brother. I havn't really been missing my parents or brother too much... I know that sounds bad, but I guess it might be because a) I do see them every once in a while and b) I have another family, the church. It really should be all one family... >.>
Anyways, this is my new favourite song at the moment. I enjoy whistling to it in a really high pitch. xP

Sadistic S_____
in Amelie's life have wound up in and how she ends up helping them in very round-about, often very hilarious, premeditated schemes because she was never very good at interacting with people.
I couldn't pay attention to anything but the movie. In FILM class you're not really supposed to watch the movies, but rather you're supposed to view the techniques implemented in the film. I watched the movie. I enjoyed the movie. I laughed out loud. I almost cried.
The narration is very funny.
Anyways, I sat with P(?) today instead of J(?). I saw him and, honestly based on my first impression of him, wanted to be his friend [so I kinda ditched J(?)... xP I felt bad about that...]. But I'm so bad at small talk... XP...
I saw my prof today. Usually I am far enough away that I don't see him clearly, so I saw him and his hair and his nose and I thought 'bird'.
I don't know... XP....
So, ya. I don't have work on Sunday. I'm going 'leafing' with the YA.
I want more friends.
I hate being alone in a crowd... Just being with someone else... Anyone else

[continued from previous post]
is spent trying to get MY work done so that I can work in the other departments, but I still havn't even written a resume. [I wanted to work somewhere else for a while. Anywhere. When I moved I thought that I should apply at FarmBoy aka in front of my house. I havn't...] I even found my old one and havn't taken the time to update it.... I am just living my life as it comes to me, never really trying to shape my own future...
xP... My chemistry lab partner saw my hair for the first time today. Honestly, this haircut is awesome. Absolutely everyone at work has complimented it, even though I have never had a full conversation with them... My haircut has led to many conversations about C4C, many of which have either led to me saying that I am christian and etc. or them saying how they didn't know C4C was at Carleton, and really, I just like not having to worry about hair, although I really need to shave....... I don't know if I'm going to do the neard or not... I seriously couldn't go outside while I had it and I deffinately couldn't go to work with it...
Anyways, Amelie is a movie about the complicated situations that the many people

is spent trying to get MY work done so that I can work in the other departments, but I still havn't even written a resume. [I wanted to work somewhere else for a while. Anywhere. When I moved I thought that I should apply at FarmBoy aka in front of my house. I havn't...] I even found my old one and havn't taken the time to update it.... I am just living my life as it comes to me, never really trying to shape my own future...

Kindness Always Propagates.
So, ya.
I just watched this really uplifting movie in FILM. Like, it is just a really cool movie. It is super funny, very ... I don't even know how to describe it, but I fell really good now. [The name of the movie was Amelie btw.]
Yesterday I was in a terrible mood.
Sometimes I get in this mood where I question what I am doing and how I think. Like I got really fed up with work for no good reason. I felt that just because I had a shift Sunday night that I should quit my job. I felt that work is taking away all my time with my YA friends when really I spend all my free time with them...
I felt that I should tell my boss that I didn't want to work Sundays anymore, which is true, but at the same time there are never enough people to work on Sundays, so I didn't request that... Then I thought "why do I never stand up for myself..? Is it wrong to be selfish..? Is it really being selfish to not want to work 20 hours each week..?
When I am at work, far too many thoughts go through my head.
When I am at work, all my energy

Personal Testimony
So, hey.
I really should not be posting now, but I've been meaning to post about what happened this week.
So, like, I shared on Wednesday. So scared, but God made it seem easier by making it someone I already knew.
On the way home that day RM called me and asked if I could share a testimony at the C4C meeting on Friday. The first thing I thought about was like "My thesis is: 'Random' Evangelism and my misconceptions of C4C sharing". I thought for a while about it, but never really wrote it down until Friday at like 2. When I was on the 117 headed back to school (I had forgotten to pack my lunch in a hurry that morning, so I went home after my CHEM tutorial thinking I had 3.5 hours between 12:30 and 3. >.> Anyways...) I was scribbling my testimony onto a few sheets of lined paper because I was supposed to meet with SS at 3 to go over it and he said I should write it down before hand... xP
Anyways, I got there early, he got there late (minimally) and I read him my testimony. He said that it was fine just the way it was. That it was really good for a first-year student. We also discussed some other stuff and he said some stuff about goal setting and what I am going to do at Carleton in my four years. What do I want to do in my four years at Carleton..?
So, ya.
After my meeting with SS, we went to the prayer meeting and, ya, that was cool.
After that was the C4C meeting. I was shaking with fear. I seriously hate public speaking ever since grade 1 when I was chosen as the best story teller and so I had to tell a story in front of the whole school....... I choked on stage. I couldn't say a word. I remember recess soon afterwards. "Hey aren't you that kid that ___" I don't exactly remember what he said, but it was about me being on stage and not telling a story... He definately laughed / mocked me afterwards..? So, ya. After that I pretty much avoided story telling / public speaking at all costs.... In grade 4 I pretty much refused to give a speech. It was worth a large portion of our marks, so I kinda had to in the end...........
So, ya. This was my first real testimony and you can't tell people that you will give a testimony and then not do it... especially if someone went over it with you.
So, ya. After the testimonies of the last couple weeks of sharing we went around to a few floors and gave out free pizza. many people were skeptical about the pizza's freeness, thinking that there was some sort of catch or something..... but some people came out. We just kinda chilled in the tv lounge talking which eventually led to discussions of faith, which was the purpose of the outreach night.
So, ya....
I will post my testimony after I'm done these lab reports that I am supposed to be working on right now / 6 hours ago......... I've been watching movies all day... >.> So good though! Juno and Shrek the Third and How to Train Your Dragon. So good!
More later I suppose.
I just realized, or rather, I just saw that it actually is a fact, that this blog has definately made me a faster typer. That whole thing didn't take like 10 minutes maximum. xP

Re-creation
Hey.
I was just thinking... I don't really like things that have been made for the sole purpose of being exactly the same. Some examples: dubbed anime, when I do something but it doesn't get saved so I have to do it again but it just doesn't match the original, turning a book into a movie or a movie into a game, etc...
I feel that by trying so hard to be exactly the same as the original, you miss the point.
Like sometimes in a video game or something I havn't saved then the power goes off. I really hate redoing the same thing because it isn't the same, its never going to be. Or my testimony, I was trying really hard to recreate the same one and I deffinately didn't.
I was writing a blog post the other day. It was amazing by the end of it. I had thought about the past, how amazing my life is now and then just before I finished writing the post I read a passage in the bible that related with the topic of the post and apparently that post never even got half saved... Annoying...
