The Peace of God

Hey.

So you know how I was away at Winter Conference last week..? Well, ya. I was. xP

You know how it was so amazing?? Well, ya. It was. xP

My point is shrouded somewhere within these last two sentences. My point was that Winter Conference was soooo great. 24/7 no worries. I got to sleep. I got to eat asian food. I got to sing. I got to hang out with my friends. I got to play volleyball. I got to dance. I got to go to an amazing new years eve party. It was just so cool, not to mention how God affected me during that week. There was absolutely no stress that whole week.

I have recently come back to the reality of school and work. I don't mean to complain about all this stuff, but ya... It just hit me like a pile of bricks. I had to suddenly buy books, buy school supplies, figure out having two part-time jobs, having 30 hours of school a week, having YA, DG, C4C, church, worship practices. I also had to lead worship this week, I have to buy food, I had to start doing pre-labs, preclass quizzes, assignments.... I was applying to go on project. I just had a lot flying around on my schedule... I was starting to really stress about it.

I was planning on going to this EFCC conference this Friday and Saturday. When I went to check my schedule for next week I discovered that I had two shifts. Saturday and Sunday 6:30-2....... There was literally no one left to take my shift...... Now I was starting to really stress................. I really hate talking to my boss...

That night I went to YA. Actually... I ran from work to home to YA. I was really stressing........

When CW showed up to YA he asked how I was and I told him. This is an advantage to actually answering questions. CW told me to pray about it. I realized I actually hadn't.

That night at various times my schedule was prayed for two or three times.

The next morning, after finding KC in Loeb Cafe (xP), I called my boss. Honestly, my boss is a God send. He always fixes my schedule if I ever ask him. He is willing to change the whole week's schedule so that everyone gets the time off that they want. So I called and he said he'd deal with it.

With that off of my schedule I could focus on all the other junk.

I ended up spending a lot of time just playing guitar and singing.

Before I realized it it was Saturday. What I didn't realize was that I hadn't been stressed since Thursday night at the beginning of YA. After praying about it I was no longer stressed, my schedule got worked out and I got a lot of work done.

Ya. Everything works out if you pray about it. xP

I need to pray about going to Asia. I talked to my parents breifly and they need more information than I already have... xP I discovered in that conversation that I knew very little about what I actually will be doing. xP

That is the first two words of the last 50 posts.

24 so

16 I
10 ya
5 have
4 you
and a bunch of other stuff.

In almost half of the last 50 posts the word "so" has been in the first two words. 'I' was almost never used as the first word. ya. xP I believe that these statistics were chosen from a poor group of posts. So ya hey would normally be far more prevalent. xPPPP

Anyways. xP I have a faux hawk at the moment.

Volleyball was sweet. I havn't played since Brooklyn back in August. So much fun yo. ONE LOVE! (God. xP) Thank God for volleyball, teamwork, friendship, sport, excercise, randomness, a break from schedules, the oppourtunity to be here in Toronto, etc.

Ya. Praise God. xP WC has been amazing so far and there's more than half left.

"No More Let Sins and Sorrows Grow"

So, ya.

Today was really ... idk... I woke up 3 hours later than I wanted to after having on and off really fun dreams that I now do not remember, watching Bleach and Pokemon with fried rice and ice cream, I sinned, then I worked from 12-6 in produce and now I am here.

I was super really depressed all day and BJ kept telling me I was acting weird. I was thinking a lot about a lot of stuff, like how I am using my busy schedule as an excuse to not spend time with God and how I should then take advantage of this schedule to schedule in time for God (although I realize this is clearly not supposed to compartmentalise God into an hour here or there). Then I realized that that is one purpose of YA. YA is a couple hours where the number 1 top priority is to study God's word and fellowship with other brothers/sisters and all that good stuff. So, ya. YA has a new meaning to me, but at the same time, there is no YA right now (cuz everybody diffused across the country... >.> I mean BC, Yukon, Nova Scotia, Toronto, Calgary, etc.)

At 5 or so I started doing production in the backroom, so I turned on the radio to CHRI and ya. I quickly stopped being so depressed. "That's What Faith Can Do" "Our God" and other songs made me think other stuff and I was singing out loud (except when people walked by... xP). xP Then there was this song that was really really cool. So I wrote the name of the song on my hand. It was "What Love Really Means" by JJ Heller.



That is the MV, which is also pretty cool while being very simple.

Anyways, BJ left and will not be working until after Christmas because she is going home for Christmas and I won't be back until January 1st and I may not be working very much after that..... so it was basically like the last time I will see her until next year and I was being such a loser all day.... So on the way home I text apologized. xP but in 1000 characters... >.> Also her name has been changed to my standardized blog initials:

"Hey BJ. I'm sorry for how I was acting today. I was just really depressed/angry at myself for being a sinner and I really shouldn't have been acting that way. Especially now at Christmas time I should know better. I just havn't been really acting the way I should, I havn't really been reading or praying or spending time with God or anything and its really my fault. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. And God's love is unconditional. It doesn't matter what you've done or who you will become. God sent his son to pay for our sins and bridge the gap between us and God so that we could have a personal relationship with Him because there's nothing we could ever do to earn our way to heaven by ourselves or our own effort. It's by faith alone that we can stand unashamed.

So, ya. I'm sorry. XP. Merry Chistmas. XP"

I was laughing about the sudden ending because of the 1000 characters. That's waht the xP's at the end are for. xP I meant to say sorry for being such a loser in the last few hours she'll see me, but it wouldn't fit. xP

Ya. Christmas is when Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem. 33 years or so later he died for our sins becuase he had none of his own and because he was God and because he loved us. All of our sins were in the future at the time, but God is above time.

I'm just rambling now. xP.... I will not watch anymore anime until I read 50 psalms because that is how many I should have read before having watched all the anime I've watched this week. Anime has taken a high priority in my life again and clearly the reprecusions are pretty bad. It's idolatry basically. So, ya..... I was thinking that I should swap God for anime, but then I was trying to apply that in my head and was like "Oh, I'm bored. I should watch anime." "Oh! There's a new episode of One Piece! I need to watch it as soon as possible!" But trying to swap thos situations and I realize that there's never a new chapter in the Bible so I can't really swap that, but then I realized I havn't finished reading all of it soooo.... there are still some new chapters... xP Buuuut I will be reading them all in the next year, so ya. *rolls eyes*

Ttyl. xP

=D.Fa

PS. I was thinking of 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness". Training in righteousness is what I need right now. Clearly that is because I havn't been reading my Bible very much / not remembering memory verses. Also Psalm 199:11 "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you" that applies to my lack of memory verses..?

Point: I know I need to spend time with God, with his word, praying to him, singing his praises, etc. He has provided us his word, he has provided us redemption, he listens to our prayers, he gives this all as a free gift to us through his son who paid the price once and for all that all have the option to have a relationship with Him.

I'm really bad at getting a point across. xP

Echoing Silences

So, ya. Today in my "5-minute break" during my FILM class I started writing a blog post and finished later on the 111. So, here it is:

Today I have been confronted by the idea of quiet time. Time spent listening for God to reply directly.

I do admit to not spending time in silence listening for God. I cannot say that I even try too hard in this aspect. There have been a few times where in church or something we were told to take time pray and then listen for God.

In these times I always find it really hard to silence my own thoughts. I don't remember where, but I think it was an english class at some point I read something like words are a virus, that either you are reading, writing, talking or thinking something and it just leads to more words or something and I thought it was really true. Even in dead silence, someone is thinking something. This may be one reason for why I have kind of given up on quiet time.

Also, I feel God can speak through other things like in specific events or through reading the Bible if something pops out to you as being relevant to something you have prayed about and you just know as your first thought that it was from God.

Ever since Saturday when I saw "unashamed" written on my face in the mirror I have been telling myself that I am unashamed whenever I am feeling down. Feelings come and go, but this is fact: Jesus paid for my sins on the cross so that I can stand unashamed in a relationship with Him.

Today after my conversation with JS I thought about how we do need to take time to listen for God, not because we have to so that He will speak to us, but that if we aren't trying we probably won't. The amazing thing behind this idea is that God is trying to speak to us, we just aren't listening and get lost in day to day worries. To go to such an extent as making a word appear on my face as a method of speaking to me shows how much I am not paying attention. Like if all the other less obvious methods havn't been working, so he had to resort to this.

So, ya... I really should set aside time to listen for God's answers and I suppose that at the same time I should pray less shallow prayers that mean so little.

Ya.

Oh Heavenly Father, Lord I thank you for reaching out to us and today for speaking through JS and getting me to realize we have a relationship meaning we are both contributing to it and that I need to listen more. Lord I'm sorry for not listening intently, but at the same time I thank you for going to the extent you do to show us your love and desire to be in a relationship with us. Lord, help me realize what I should be doing in this life and give me a reason to be doing them, not just because it is in my schedule. My schedule is not in control of my life. You are. Lord, help me to be a better witness to BJ and Lord, work in her heart. ... In your name I pray. Amen.

Ya. Ttyl. D.Fa

PS. I'm thinking about starting another blog. xP It would be a blog where as I study the Bible chapter by chapter (or maybe just a few verses at a time..?) I would record my thoughts and summarize the verses..? Something like that. There is only one thing that I think I should have before I start that. xP

Some Things That Happened Without My Knowing

So, hey.

Today was really awesome.

My Sunday School is about "Participating in the Mission of the Church". I seem to pay more attention to this. A/V went pretty well... xP The only really kinda bad thing that had happened up to this point was that RL had gone home to sleep instead of coming to church. It honestly ... idk... breaks my heart (I think that may be a bit too much, but I don't know how else to phrase it... xP) to see him skipping church to sleep... He is gaming again too... He had taken a 30-day challenge. It's like day 8 or something. He said he got bored......

Anyways, after church I had to go to work. So, at work there's this girl BJ who works in bakery. I havn't had a shift at the same time as her in like a month. Everytime I would go to work I'd be hoping she was there. I kinda really want to invite her to church and share with her. So I packed my bag for work, ie apron and hat, but I also threw in a couple Knowing God Personally booklets and a real life kit just in case.

Today in Sunday school we talked about good works and how they can affect our witness. I was going to be like 5 minutes late to work again, like I have been for a little while and I realized that isn't a good thing. I should continue to be on time for work. It is actually the only thing that I don't care about being like 10 minutes early to, I actually usually end up 10 minutes late... So I was kinda upset about being late, so I hurried up.

When I got to work I thought everything was normal. I went to get my schedule for the next week because I hadn't yet and I saw on Sunday "6-10:30 no show" and I'm thinking that isn't next Sunday... That's today..! and so I start freaking out about having misunderstood my boss. You see on Wednesday after class I went to check the schedule / book off time for the next week. The schedule wasn't made and the time off book wasn't in the drawer. That meant my boss was currently working on it. He was on the floor. I went over to him to ask to not work next Sunday night or Saturday afternoon. Before I could do so, he asked if I could work Sunday morning. I was happy because this is exactly what I wanted for next Sunday (read: potluck and concert that night) so I guess I misheard because he apparently meant this morning........

Now I was freaking out about not showing up for a shift.

Then BJ enters the backroom.

I'm thinking.... oh no... shes been here since 6, when I should have been here............. I usually act like work is very important around her, like, I'm always preoccupied with doing my work. The one time she caught me on my cell phone she kept holding it against me for like a couple weeks... so being caught 'skipping a shift' kinda completely destroys my reputation...

It turns out that produce wasn't actually behind schedule, so I wasn't actually in very much trouble... I did all the production for the night and cleaned the backroom. There wasn't too much to do. I then cleaned bakery and helped make salads in salad bar because JR was way behind schedule. I left work at 7:30ish and went to my parents' for supper. They gave me a pile of food again.

Anyways, while I was at work I talked breifly with BJ and found out that she had gone to church for a while by herself like 3 times a week then she just stopped. so I don't really know what to make of that.... I also got her cell number which will make it easier to stay in contact with my bare minimum work schedule.




So, ya. I should be in a lot of trouble, but I'm not... I don't know what to feel... embarassed or really grateful..?

Six Hours.

Hey!

This is the first week that I've stayed at school between my morning classes and my night class on a Wednesday. My schedule, if I havn't said yet, is about 8:30-1 everyday, with 8:30-9 on Tuesdays and annoyingly 7-8 on Wednesdays... >.> So a good point is that I have a regular wake up time, although it happens to be between 6 and 7 am, which is kinda annoying and difficult..? but its better then RL's wake up times. Sure, he gets to sleep in every other day, but that means that on the days when he can't sleep in it's that much harder. xP

Also, aside from Tuesday, I should have a lot of time to do things, that is, if school was the only thing on my schedule... >.>

I just payed another month of rent... It's kinda painful watching all that money disappear, but it means that I get to live here another month (at least).

lol.... Yesterday my housemates announced a new milk buying rule. The reason for this is that I drink a lot of milk... xP So first of all, the tally board for how much milk everyone buys is now, (finally) being used, and secondly, they have changed the ratio of milk buying from 1:1:1:1:1 to 1:1:1:1:2, ie I have to buy twice as much milk as everyone else does... >.>

Ever heard of "The Gallon Chalange"..? I could totally do it.

Just before this, my housemates were trying to determine how much extra on the rent everyone had to pay. The extra is for things that were bought for the house. It took three of them about an hour to divide 64 by 5. Well, it is a little more complicated then that, but really it's not that hard... This is mostly JK's fault because he was just really tired and his brain was not working. xP

Yesterday I watched the last episode of Reborn. The manga is still going, but they just stopped the anime after the current arc was done. I don't know why, but I know that I have more free time now. xP Not that reborn was bad, just that it did take up half an hour each week...... I know that isn't very much, but I have no free time..... >.> fine. I just have bad time management...............

Another very interesting statistic has just occured. Today I have had as many views from South Korea as I have from Canada! That is ridiculous! I hadn't had any and now I've had as many as I have from Canada (in one day, so far...)! Also, Malasia and Russia are now in my stats too. I think it's pretty cool.

So, during these 6 hours I am going to attempt to do some homework. The first thing I did was try to accomplish my Biology assignment. I had to go to the library and print / photocopy a specific scientific journal article. I have no idea how libraries work and there were no instructions (as far as I know...). So, it took me an hour to find the article and email it to myself and another 15 minutes to locate a computer / printer... The most fun part of that hour, however was deffinately playing with the shelves... xP THE SHELVES MOVE!!! =O There are also motion detectors to make sure no one gets squished by the shelves! I know what I did was immature, but it was pretty fun... xP

...

So, ya. I think this song is pretty cool. xP One by Epik High.



I think it's kinda funny how they have a different female vocalist in each of their videos. xP

Blogging on the Bus

Hey. I am currently on the 117 Baseline right by the Nesbitt building at the moment. I should be home in about half an hour or so.

I just finished my film discussion group. Yesterday's film was casablanca. There was actually applause after the movie. XP....

Night classes are kinda pretty lame... I mean, my last class finished at 1... If this was a normal day I would have been so bored by the time my film class rolled around (7-8)...

Today I had an eye exam and saw L(?) at work. XP... My prescription hasn't changed much apparently, and my right eye is weaker than my left eye.

I then went home and had supper there. I hadn't had seafood in a while and today in bio we talked about omega-3s and stuff and how fish have lots of them.

When my dad said we were going to have curry rice and shrimp I was thinking about bio and about how I really like curry and shrimp and also how I really didn't have anything at home to eat.......... So I had supper at home. XP... There are more reasons

...

21.9.10

Eye-Catching Advertisements.

Well, you know how it is. Just walking around. Wasting time in a strange environment for the purpose of aclimatizing yourself. That's what I was doing the other day. Just walking around after Chemistry.

"FOOT FETISH"

*double take* "What did that say..?" but I kept going because I did have to get to Physics (have to..? that's up to debate.)

Anyways, a couple days later I have the same morning schedule, so I went the same way and stopped to read the poster. The poster consisting of a picture of feet with the words "FOOT FETISH" in bold, large, centered letters was actually about the CU foot patrol. There wasn't much info on the poster except that if you volunteer so many hours you would get a free t-shirt, so I was interested in discovering more about this "foot patrol".

So, today I went online, googled "Carleton foot patrol", and found their website. The foot patrol is a "student-run, volunteer based campus safe-walk and patrol service." So, even though the add is rather sketchy... hehe. The actual organization is a good thing. xP [I kinda really want to volunteer for them. xP]

So, ya. I didn't blog yesterday. Why not..? Oh, right. Work until 10 and honestly I need more sleep, so I really need to try going to sleep early on days like that, and tuesdays... xP.... stupid schedule... >.>

Yesterday I sat beside two asians. One kept speaking Chinese to her friends behind her, so I didn't really meet her at all, and the other was nice. She is in integrated sciences and likes physics... ewwww. xP... She got a 70 in summer school calc apparently. Not that I'm making any conclusions from that. xP I also met her friend who is taking russian. o.0

Today I met another couple asians. xP In my group for bio labs there is an asian who has the same name as KC. lol. Another K! xP KC thinks they might have the same last name too. xP He apparently facebook searched for himself and found another few, one which also was in ottawa.

So, ya. In my bio group, there are like 6 people. I was sitting beside two. One white guy and one asian guy. I was very happy that there was an asian in my group. xP I was actually kinda ignoring the other guy... >.> The way he was talking reminded me of someone I couldn't really stand talking to. I thought he reminded me of JA, but I suppose he's more like SS-W, but not really. He actually seems nice... I was just kinda ignoring him...

So, we were all supposed to sign up for a Science Student Success Center mentoring session. I signed up online for one at 3. It said my mentor was Bruce I think. I thought "awwww.... i don't think he's asian..." I got to the SSSC 20 minutes early, so they just chose one of the people already there. Asian. Yuss. But the mentoring session was so boring. Really it is more for people who don't know what they are doing, so he told me to come back if I needed anything.

I got free pizza later because I went to another workshop. I actually didn't register this time... xP

Anyways.... I got to FILM half an hour ealry this time. It didn't fill up as quickly as i thought it would have. I hear there are lots of 2nd and 3rd year students in it for an easy A. xP... Today we watched Casablanca.

So, ya...

14.9.10

No YA of The Day... >.>

So, hey.

I need more sleep. and better meal schedules. and more sleep.

So, ya. Tuesdays suck. and I didn't even have a full Tuesday... My first class wasn't until 1 today, but I still woke up at 6, to look at my schedule and go, "oh... no bio lab today.... why aren't i still sleeping?!?!?" then i did chem work and went to school for a math lab (cancelled...) but I got to make another asian friend. xP

I walked into the class. I looked around. I sat down beside him. xP awkward silence.....

15 minutes later everyone is getting impatient / beginning to leave because our prof is late / not showing up. So, we both leave. Our next class was a math lecture and we had like an hour, so we walked around in the tunnels. I went to find out where my discussion group for film is. its pretty far away...

We went back to find out we were 30 minutes early. By this time although we had talked, I still didn't know his name. xP

So, we were waiting outside the math room and the guy I met last thursday in math shows up. They meet each other, but the funny thing is that their names are the same except for one extra 'l', so he said his name, then the other guy said his name, so the first guy was like "no, 'my name'" and so I introduced them to each other to stop it there. xP

Then a friend of the first guy who is also in japanese class showed up (not visibly asian, ie white).

I smiled because I had made so many asian* friends and because I was pwning them at hiragana. xP

These last few days had been pretty cool.

So, I get to my chem lab and find out we are all in specific places on the lab benches. I look at the list. The guy beside my name was asian. I was like "Yes!" (in my head). Then while the lab instructor (also asian) was explaining things I was standing beside this korean guy. I was hoping he was my partner, but the guy beside me had a chinese name, so it couldn't be him. NF was my partner today. He's pretty cool. It's weird being the 'AP' of my lab group though. xP No offense to AP, but she's always such a keener.

So, after the lab I went to a computer lab to do some stuff. My phone had died earlier so i didn't have the time. I ended up being 30 minutes late to my first film class.... >.>

Apparently there are only 2 essays this whole year though, so that's ok I guess....

g'night.

"But we'll leave that for 2007"

So. Hey, I guess I went to sleep last night. xP


After lunch we went and split into our majors and had some more orientation. A lot (a lot) of it was about how SSSC can help you. (Science Students Success Centre) It was all quite boring except for this video used to describe plagarism. On youtube apparently there are people who take the news and then autotune it to make videos.

The original:



The autotuned version:



lol.....

We then were taken elsewhere and introduced briefly to some of our profs. This one guy really like natural science. Its pretty funny watching him go on about natural science.

Then I went to a very brief workshop on procrastination.

Then we went to the free bbq that the carleton navigators were having nearby. I met a bunch of people. The navigators is a christian group that has dinner discussions and many outreach events. The only problem is that my timetable doesn't let me do anything tuesday or wednesday nights, which is when most of their events are held... so although it was interesting and everyone was really nice I dont think I can participate much...

Today I didn't have a class until 1, so I didn't wake up until 8:30 and at 10:30 I went to MHS to see people. I got like 7 hugs (a couple charged at me). I'm glad that each year we brainwash the music kids to eat in the basement. It makes them easier to find. xP but MM wasn't there! I wanted to see MM... >.>

Then I went to school. I kinda got slightly lost for a couple minutes because I didn't remember which room my class was in. I found a student computer lab and checked out carleton clubs and my timetable. Apparently the anime club and board game strategy club have the same president. The anime club sounds cool, but its on saturdays which is when worship practices are... and from what I read, apparently you need a membership to use the carleton athletic facilities..? I was hoping it was free / in my tuition already... I may have misread though..?

So my first class was MATH 1007 C. Calculus. Today was review of gr 12 functions though, which is good because I took that course last summer and barely remember any of it... xP

I walked into the room and saw an asian, so I sat beside him. xP

I'm not good at introductions... so i sat there silently for a while. For some reason I decided to write "can you read this?" in hiragana on my notebook instead of talking to him. This happened to work out though... xP He asked if I knew japanese. xP He is apparently korean and went to u of t last year. He's taking japanese this year because his sister said it was easy. and his name is k____. I know a lot of asians named k____.

So, ya. After that I had work... I just saw the 117 go by when I got to the buses and the otrain just arrived, so i took it instead of waiting. Unfourtunately the 111 didn't come for 15 minutes, so I ran/walked from confederation. I got to hogsback. 5 minutes for the next 117 and 7 minutes for the 111. So I kept going. I cross the bridge and the 117 goes by. whatever... i'll just get on the 111. It goes by too, so I ran and got on from the back door and the bus driver yelled at me a little..............

So, ya....

So much for university.

Ttyl... I have to wake up in like 6 hours..... RL doesn't... he only has labs and tutorials on fridays (no labs / tutorials this week...)

Life's Work

I had practically every inch of my wall covered and now they are bare except for the pieces of tape or staples or nails that are still there and some chipped paint or holes or other things that were covered before... XP

So, ya...

I am moving on Monday, but will be busy all the time until I move, so I'm packing now. I'm nearly done and my room is so empty... there's even an echo... >.>

I'm leaving so many memories and so much useless stuff.. xP I'm bringing a lot of useless stuff too... xP I found some Beyblades the other day. I'm bringing them... xP

All that aside, I don't really know what to feel... I feel like I'm not even feeling this. Like its out of my control so I just have to go along with it. ... >.>

So, like, RL wants us to like share food. Like, cook and eat the same meals to lower costs and make it easier because neither of us really cook or anything... xP and my schedule probably wont line up nicely with his... but ya... we'll see where this goes.. xP

I've been addicted to this facebook game for the past couple days.. XP

Repetition.

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

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

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

Ya...

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

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

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



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

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



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

So, ya...

ttyl.

So, hey...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So, ya...

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

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

New Life

So, ya...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ttyl.

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

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



*I really like that phrase. xP

Ticking Clocks

So. Today was another wasted 24 hours, or at least I wasted 20 or so...

I didn't wake up until around 10. I read a chapter and a bit of Luke as well as Phillipians, but I guess I was kinda tired and didn't really absorb it all that much... I watched some anime and played around with my schedule for next year.

I drew a bunch of timetables with pencil crayons and pens. I have to take an "approved art credit", but I don't really know what it means by "approved art credit," so I think I'm gonna go to Carleton Wednesday and talk to someone... I tried fitting Japanese or even Mandarin into my schedule, but they wouldn't fit... I suppose I can always sign up for Saturday school again if I want to keep doing that, but it's kinda annoying to have to go Saturday mornings... Especially if I have homeowrk... I'd also have to take a placement test to determine which class I should take becuase I know more then absolutely nothing about Japanese... I played around with it for at least an hour or two then I was told to eat lunch before cleaning...

I havn't told my parents that I plan on moving out next year. I don't think I really realize what's going to happen because it's kinda a big thing and my parents, or at least my mom, want me to stay as long as possible, but I kinda want to live on my own or with some church buddies to just change it up I guess. I've never moved. I've lived in this house my whole life. Even if it's just down the road, moving out would be cool. Sure it would cost a bit and with my schedule I might not get to work as much, just trying it out for a bit would be cool. I could always move back if I need to.

So, I snuck out tonight and went to work to ask the slacker to switch shifts with me Friday and Saturday. He had plans with his friends Friday night, but that actually made him want to switch Saturday shifts. So, now I'm working 4-11 Friday and 8-4 Saturday... xP... but at least I don't have to find a replacement for worship team and I get to go to YF. The useless guy seems to have booked off Friday, so I may have to work that night... So much for YA this week. I hope we do something cool for Canada Day.

xP. I went to play tennis with my brother today and the other court steward wasn't there. I guess I was supposed to be working..? I showed up on time to work and left around the time I was supposed to, so I guess that counts..? I didn't have my key though, so I couldn't go into the lodge and sign off the hours. I may do that later this week.

I'm gonna try to even out my sleep schedule... Like go to sleep around 11:30-12 not 1ish and wake up 8ish not 10-11.

So, I've been playing with my timetable again. It seems I have 5 choices for which "Art" course I take. I think. Psychology, Philosophy, some English course, Film Studies, or Linguistics. If those are "Arts" then I'll get to decide...

So, ya...

"Hey AL, registering is hard and work is annoyingly time consuming... no time to look for girlfriends even..."

22.6.10

Unscheduled

So, ya.

I've been noticing for a while, during a month, if the current day is in the month, my schedule will be full. As we approach the next month, it's schedule would fill up. However, July's schedule is practically empty. The only thing that has been added is Worship team three times... I mean, August is kinda full, but July is pretty much empty... Well, we'll see what happens.

So I actually got to work at the courts today. It was a great day and the courts were always full, but it was very boring... xP I havn't listened to my ipod that much in a long time.

Right... so my blog has suddenly, minorly changed appearance. This was originally by accident, but I couldn't get it back the way it was and some things about the new template were cooler... I kinda wish there was a simpler blueish background (Plain black was too boring) but it reminded me of this anime I had watched 'Sora no Manimani'. That show was a slice of life romantic comedy about this guy in the astrology club. I enjoyed it, only 12 episodes.

Anyways. Is the sudden change random enough..?

"Hey AL, you can't control everything. Just move forward and trust that what will happen is for the best. I don't have a girlfriend yet."

P.S. I also watch this anime (Fairy Tail). The artist of the Opening has an interesting style.
