Change of Opinion

So.

If you didn't know I don't really support Gmail. This is mostly because I already had hotmail and have msn and think it would be a waste of time to change everything over to gmail and thus I have been avoiding it.

There are many 'good reasons' why I should just switch over to gmail. such as the whole idea of email threads or google chat (because everyone that has google chat does not have msn so they want me to get it).

The fact is that I already have a gmail account. In fact I actually use it when people ask for an email adress because its just easier. I mean its WAY shorter. xP It is also more proffesional... But it's just not what I am already doing......

Sometimes people don't like change. Sometimes just so that they don't have to change they will avoid new things, even ignoring it or just not listening to logical explainations. They just stick to what they are already doing.

Sometimes you just need to try it out. You just need to give it a chance.

Today gmail saved my life. I am starting to think about switching, but I don't want to... Today an hour before my Bio lab I had to print all of my bio lab report so I could hand it in. I hadn't emailed it to myself yet, so I was desperately trying to get onto hotmail on my laptop in te computer lab, but it has pretty bad wireless there. Hot mail would not load......... I even tried Firefox, which I also do not support because it would be a change. Nothing.

I then thought... What about gmail..?! So I tried it.

Guess what...? It worked... >.> This was after 40 minutes of trying to get onto hotmail... It worked on the second try. It worked.

Point being.... I may switch. I still think I need a bit more reason, but whatever. xP

Unrelated:
-My Application for Project is finally done!!!! Finally!!! I've been getting emails and even phone calls from Guelph about 'are you still considering? It's the last day. You should hurry up. etc."
-Apparently 'idividualistic' and other derivatives of individual are very hard to say. Both RM and RL had quite a hard time. Maybe its just people named R..?
-KC went to DG! and he prayed on Sunday. I havn't heard him pray very much. I'm gonna try and take him to a pray meeting one of these days.
-My lame bio lab is finished.

True Story I

True Story:

I managed to get a ride most of the way home from church. This meant I had time to eat lunch.

When I was almost home I had a wonderful conversation for about five minutes with a neighbour. He is rather small and has a lot of grey hair. He was in the tree when I first saw him. There's kinda a language barrier and I'm not too good at his language, so I could have been saying anything, but I rather enjoyed it.

By the way. He was a squirrel.

lol. I wish I had a pet squirrel. Especially this one.




But that is beside the point.

In any case. That was very random, but fun.

A List of Stuff.

So, the things on this list are all connected for some reason:
-Halo
-Final Fantasy
-Gundam
-Tim Horton's
-Crocs
-Coffee
-Brand Name Clothing
-Dr. Dre Beats
-Blackberry's
-Twitter
-Athletic Socks
-Baby corn
-Sonic
-Twilight
-Apple Juice
-Eggs
-Pills
-Boots
-Hockey
-etc.
There's probably a lot of other things I could add to the list, but I'm just so tired/bored.... XP

Ya. This list is a list of things I just do not support.

Ya...... Kinda no real reason, but I'm just against them.

Randomness.

Hey!

I don't have much to say so this post will be randomness.

But, first I will say that C4C has good ideas for outreach, but sometimes you can't make everyone happy with how long some things go. Also, you should not put tea lights on a table that will be used for a discussion. Ya.

Today I saw what I believe is one of if not the most ridiculous things ever built. There was a parking meter. It was in a tunnel. It had a solar panel. Ya. Smart, right..? No. So I am rage blogging about that, except not really. If you have any connection to someone who can and will move it, please tell them. It is near little Italy.

Also, VS showed us the best video ever. I joke, but it is very funny. Don't pay attention to the stuff after the song.



So good. xP

Also, although I said I would not upload this to my blog, here it is. xP MW can no longer take RM seriously.



Ya, that was my DG leader RM. He has a tough outer appearance, but on the inside he is a Barbie Girl. I think we all are at least partially. xP Just kidding.

Picture Post I!

Ok, I really should be working on my Bio lab report and studying and stuff, but I've been having a pretty cool conversation with MM on facebook. So, partially because of what we were talking about and the shortness of the time I should be spending blogging I will mostly just post a few* pictures. xP

The theme is: Creation and how amazing it is with a focus on the 'Natural World'. xP















Psalm 19:1-4 "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world."

I may end up having this type of post be recurring, but with different themes. xP Like 'chairs' or 'architecture' or something. xP

Re-Reading

Lol... I thought that re-reading some of my old blog posts would give me more hints about what I should have in my testimony and I found this in the first post:

"Let me just say that I have very little time and will only update this when I have free-time or when I am procrastinating..."

I have deffinately been posting on a nearly daily basis, often more than once in a day on special occaisions, and I deffinately do Not have free time that is actually free, so I guess that means that I am procrastinating more than before. xP

Uggg... So many of the first posts are me explaining things.... It's kinda boring... xP And they are soooooooo long. >.>

I have stopped reading old posts. They are all too long. xP I will from now on avoid super long posts... xP

I kinda want to go sharing right now and at the same time I have this fear in my gut... xP I havn't gone sharing since Friday....... I kinda need more sleep and I kinda need to finish some assignments and stuff.............

I end up quitting so many of the goals I set. This annoys me.

PS. I really like medians. Not the math medians. The ones in the middle of roads. They make j-walking so much easier. XP...

PPS. J(?) is really cute.

Stats!!! xP

Have you ever thought 5000 is a big number..? Well, it kinda is. I mean it's like a whole years wages from a part time job if at minimum wage you work about 10 hours a week. It's also my yearly rent. It's also about how much it costs to go to Asia for 6 weeks. Also (randomly) if you spent one hour doing homework everyday during a 26 week school year, it would take 27.5 years or 55, 13 week semesters to get to 5000 hours. However, it would only take 20.5 months of playing 8 hours of video games in a day to reach 5000 hours.

I was thinking yesterday, 'how much is too much..? How long should you play video games before it's too much..? how about, when you are gaming more than you are inhaling..?' That is an enourmous amount of time! like 12 hours in a day (on average, excluding possible holding your breath to make the amount of time inhaling lower)!! 12 hours isn't actually all that much. I mean on Tuesdays I am at school for at least 10 hours. Last semester it was 13 hours. xP

Anyways, there are a number of other things I wanted to calculate / discuss.

So, as far as the origin of life is concerned, if abiotic genesis is where things came from and on the off chance that atoms began combining and formed amino acids, guess what..? There are 80 different types and two different forms of each. So of the 160 possible amino acids that may be formed only 20 of them are actually used in proteins. The next problem is that a protien can be made of hundred or thousands of amino acids in very specific sequences. The probability of these things all happening is very unlikely to begin with, not to mention how many different proteins and how many you'd need to make anything.

The next thing I have been thinking about for a while is a question about the rate of work, or rather how many people we can share with in a year. Going with conservative numbers of about 50 people sharing once a day each every weekday in a 26 week school year, you get about 6500 people. If you increase the numbers to 2 people in a day 13000 people will have heard in a year. This is of course not taking into account people who say 'no thanks' or people who are too busy, and of course when the number goes up you will most likely get overlap, also I'm not including any increase in number of C4C'ers or when people go sharing together. Now I will tell you that there are about 26000 students at Carleton. It would take over two years at that rate to reach everyone (with all variables restricted. xP) Clearly this means we should try harder.

Ya. There are some numbers. Whether they are stats or not has nothing to do with my Bio lab report.

'Bob L'Eponge'

So, everytime I listen to music by Paramore I think of something I read in the Bible / heard someone say about something in the Bible or just something spiritually related. Of course I can only do that after I've started listening to the lyrics. xP

it may be partially because I'm just in the 'God mindset' when I listen to Paramore ever since my housemates were asking 'is Paramore Christian..?' You know when you get into a mindset that makes it easier for you in your current situation..? Like how when you are watching 'Bob L'Eponge' you are in a French mindset and have to readjust to English afterwards..?

In any case, I have been internalizing the lyrics to 'Playing God' and they really speak to me.



I don't think I can really explain too well, so that is all for that train of thought. xP

Ya. The TV JK threw out before Christmas is beside the dumpster again... xP

This post is basically irrelevant. xP.

I am not done my testimony, if fact I have not attempted to really start it... I just don't know where I would begin.

I'm going to post a few of my blog posts on facebook now. xP

Scariest Bus Ride Ever.

So, I was going to post earlier from my phone something along the lines of the following:

Subject:

I just had the scariest bus ride ever. For the past 30 minutes I'd been freaking myself out thinking I had lost my cell phone on a bus on the way to church... I thought I had checked my cell phone right before getting on the 86 but didn't have it when I got to church... I was thinking what I would have to do to get it back. I'd have to go all the way downtown to some random lost and found building where they would be holding my phone captive. I would then have to prove that it is mine by telling them the exact seat and route number and time that I was on the bus containing my phone and I'd have to recite contacts and / or by describe how the photos are all slanted or the fact that there is a micro SD with 2GB of memory. Then I thought... dang.. my photos... my SD card.... my contact list!!! RH! I just got his number yesterday and I hadn't talked to him in half a year....... and all the other people's numbers I'd have to creep again... And all the people I can talk to at anytime because of it... and all the sharing I can do with it... I can't believe I rely sooooo much on my phone.

I then realized I had left a glove on the 95 going to fallowfield... whatever I'll get it when I get my phone.............

When I got home I looked in all the usual places. It was on my bed under the shirt I wore last night... >.> annoying. but so lucky. xP I realize I hadn't actually had my phone earlier that morning I just knew what time I left the house and added a few minutes to determine about what time it was.

Ya. That's about all I would have texted... actually about twice as much because of the lame 1000 character limit. xP In any case I have my phone now.

Ya. I had church, then work at 2. I don't know why exactly but Pastor DB gave me his Japanese New King James New Testament. So cool! And now I have 5 bibles (meaning 5 books which are either bibles or new testaments, not including the 2 real life kit ones) in my bag! And actually, I have 4 translations (meaning ESV, NIV, NKJ and whatever the Gideon's one is ... not languages) of the new testament in my bag! xP This makes me happy. I was reading (more like attempting to) a bit of it and Jesus Christ = イエス　キリスト　＝ iesu kirisuto. A bunch of other names that are clearly not Japanese are also slightly different.

So, ya. I'm gonna attempt to do some homework now. xP I have work tommorow morning... >.>

PS. did I mention that CW got me two Paramore CDs for my birthday..?!? What?!? He didn't need to do that.

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

So guys, whatsup..?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ya. Ttyl.

What Will Your Story Be?

Hey, whatsup..?

I am currently in SP 100. It is 6:52. It is 'Weekly Meeting' time for Campus for Christ and we are currently all on our laptops. xP My friend HK just messaged JC "hey. aren't you supposed to be at WM?" lol... It's like, why are you on your laptop..? Well, you see, we are all brainstorming different ways that we can bring the gospel to our friends and just tell them about how great God is. The main focus this month is on writing our own personal testimonies about how God has impacted our lives and just about where we are coming from and just how we came to know God personally. I missed the weekly meeting last week where we started writing our testimonies and everything, and in Discipleship group this week we 'continued' working on them. I still don't really know what to say in it. The main thing about the testimony is that it has to have minimal 'Christian-ese' in it and has to just be easy to understand for people who don't know all these Christian terms that we just put in our sentences while we speak. xP

The other day I was texting VW again and she asked if she had ever shared her testimony with me. She summarized it into 'pastor's daughter. baby. but blessing.' When we finally meet in person it's gonna be interesting. We kinda facebook stalked each other slightly and have had a couple text conversations. The thing I got out of that conversation is that when we finally do meet I should have my testimony ready...

Well, today I went sharing with RM and MW. First we were in the food court and we approached a couple groups of people. The first group was a band and they were about to play somewhere and were just grabbing a quick bite, so they didn't have time to speak with us. After that we approached another group and they were all in a 'secular group' or at least I think that's what she said, so basically they said they didn't want to talk with us. RM had to leave and so it was just me and MW and the Holy Spirit.

We talked to two different guys. One in Loeb Lounge who was a non-practicing Catholic and one in Oasis who is a Methodist pastor's son. We had the most amazing conversation with him. He was originally from Ghana and lives in Toronto. We went through the 'Satisfied' booklet that talks about how to live the Spirit-filled life and just how we are satisfied when we put God in control of our lives and just trust in Him. It was really sweet going through that booklet again. It's always good to be reminded of all that stuff. We talked with him for a long time and we prayed for him. I think he actually encouraged me more than I encouraged him. One thing he was saying is about "Why do pro atheletes practice..? I mean they are so good, why do they need to practice..? The same reason we still need to read our Bibles and pray."

You can never be too good or 'too spiritual'. Christians don't get 'too good' until we get to heaven. We still struggle with sin and temptation and stuff while here on Earth and need to rely on God and the Holy Spirit and Jesus' forgiveness.

Anyways, in both of those conversations they asked about what denomination we were in or just what background we come from. I really need to work on my testimony.

Ya. So, we were brainstorming about how we can use the internet, twitter, facebook, blogs, emails, anything to reach our friends. This blog is my main way of reaching out to people, but clearly I'm mostly reaching people in my church... xP But I don't like the idea of plugging my blog, like "Hey I have this blog!" .... XP So, I was thinking I should blog, and post my testimony to facebook and maybe even upload worship songs to youtube or something.

So, I was just wasting time on hotmail, blogger, etc. and I went to facebook and at the top of the page it said "Introducing Your New Profile: Now with more ways to show and tell your story." Tell Your Story

With these overwhelming hints. I suppose that I should really work on my testimony. Especially because I am supposed to be sharing it in DG on Monday... xP

Ya. I will post my testimony here, don't worry. You are a part of it for sure. xP

Acquaintances --> Friends

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

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

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

Ttyl I guess.

Semi-Fail

So, I kinda semi-failed today.

As I set out to do, I went sharing. I talked to one person within the first 20 minutes. She was a non-practicing Catholic who knew the gospel. I really didn't say anything super substantial and I only thought of a few better things to say once I had left... But it was cool. There are a lot of people on campus who are more than willing to have a conversation. And yet, I haven't talked to them...

After talking to her, I did not talk with anyone else. Literally. She was the first person I approached. This gives me a 100% sharing score for the day, but when you look at where that number comes from it is a 1/1 not a 20/20... I ended up walking around for a while. Then I went to Oasis to try and get someone to go with me and ended up in a prayer meeting. Then I walked around again. I had dinner. I walked around some more...

I realized I have almost only approached white students. I do kinda feel scared of approaching someone who is Muslim... I then figured I should ask VS if I could go sharing with her. She has spent at least a couple summers on project in North Africa talking with students about Jesus and the gospel, so I'm sure she'd be fine with it.

Ya. Around 5ish I gave up. I put a stop to my walking and just sat in front of CW's locker and read "The Case For Faith" until 6:00. I then went to Oasis and continued my reading, but closer to my next class. You see, I am currently reading 5 books. One reason for this number of books is that I kinda don't have much of a desire to continue some of them. For example 'The Case For Faith' kinda got me a bit bored... In the first chapter on Suffering I kinda lost interest. Lee Strobel has this style of writing that sometimes annoys me a bit. He often uses large words and sophisticated phrasing. This is because he is a journalist... [Not necessarily true, but I dislike how he often strongly attacks the discussion on the side that makes you depressed if you haven't learned much in that area before he explains that it actually is better then that, but if you don't have time to read it, you end up kinda depressed. lol]

In any case, I finished that first chapter and got to the second. It was about how miracles contradict science. It was quite interesting. I had kinda heard some of it before. The next chapter really got my attention. It was about evolution, or at least that's what the title of the chapter said. The chapter was actually a lot about the origin of life. It kept my attention very well because I knew what they were talking about. Every time it said that it was so unreasonable to believe a scientific theory I got this huge grin on my face. I really liked the sentence "I think people who believe that life emerged naturalistically need to have a great deal more faith than people who reasonably infer that there's an Intelligent Designer."

In any case, the book I am currently hoping to finish is 'The Case For Faith'. I want to finish it and 3 other books so I can continue reading 'The Case for a Creator' by Lee Strobel. xP I hope there isn't a lot of overlap between what I just read and what I will be reading.

So, ya... I will not stop sharing. I am definitely learning some things from even my short sporadic encounters with sharing. I just feel like after I've walked through the same room 6 times that everyone is looking at me like I'm crazy........ xP

Ttyl.

PS. I had a word with J(?) finally! ... It was only one word though... xP I have known of her for quite some time and I have recognized her since around the start of the year maybe, but I had until today never said a word to her. I have a lot of this type of relationship where I have creeped enough information that I know who someone is and yet I have never talked to them...

PPS. Showers that have been recently cleaned are very slippery when wet and soapy.

5 or 150..?

Hey, whatsup..?

I seem to be making friends everyday. xP Today I talked with MJ(TG's friend. TG was my BIOL Lab partner last semester and I only really started hanging out with her last week. xP) for a while before BIOL. Also, since DK is in existance this semester, we've been hanging out more. We have BIOL and CHEM together so we hang out in those classes as well as DG and other stuff. We went to the Integrated Sciences room and apparently there is free printing there (not free paper, but free ink... for integrated science students) so he printed off like lecture slides and his bio lab manual. The computer he was using however did not like firefox and would not work until he used internet explorer. xP Wasted like 15 minutes because of that.

In any case... My day has barely begun. I just watched 90 minutes of CHEM lectures / tutorials. I am now only 2 hours behind... >.> well... I can't really go to class until I catch up. So I watched Friday's class during todays. I still have FILM at 7.

I have a lot of time. Time to go evangelising, well, sharing. Sharing =/= evangelising. Sharing is much more personal. Much more friendly and less focused on shoving the gospel down someone's throat. People are not just numbers to be moved from the 'non-christian' column to the 'Christian' column and then ignored. People are shared with because they don't know about God and His love for them and how He has paid the price so that you can come into a relationship with Him even with your shortcomings and past failures. God loves you, but just telling that to everyone in 5 seconds or less each and then never seeing you again would not mean anything. You don't just ask Jesus into your life then go back to the way you were living. It is a constant day by day process of relying on God and growing in your relationship.

I set this inane goal of talking to 10 people. I then thought... 10 is so little. that is not even a good goal. then I thought... what if I end up in like 5 conversations that last like an hour each. That would be waaaaay better than talking to 150 people in 5 hours. So, whatever happens it will be for Him.

I have this thought that I will just walk up to EVERYONE smiling and happy go lucky completely hiding what I am feeling during the intro then we can actually talk. Who cares if I look insane for a few moments. xP

Ya.

There's nothing to lose.

Ikou!

Another Shot at 'Evangelerving'...

So.

I am kinda in a crummy mood again. When you spend 3 hours walking around, looking at people, talking to people you do know only as a distraction and you even have them all praying for you and then you say hi to one guy who is willing to talk if his group members don't show up and then one of them does, when you are trying so hard to find excuses for why you aren't sharing that you even spend 5$ on vitamin enhanced fruit juice... You feel kinda crummy...

I have to put an end to this.
I've got to just do it.
I've got to get over this stupid inability to meet people in unawkward ways.
I've got to live the rest of my life more intentionally.

Scratch that.

I've just got to rely on Him more and more and just forget about what I have to do.

Tommorow will be better. I have 5 hours between class. With God's help I want to talk to at least 10 people. In 5 hours this should not be a very difficult goal.

Ya...

I hate when I do this.

D.Fa

Mood Swings

Ok.

I feel pretty crummy right now.

I didn't really talk to my bio lab partner.
I didn't end up sharing today for various reasons*.
I wasted so much time.
I didn't write much of a testimony.
I don't really know my friends.
I have deffinately been relying on my own strength all day...
I havn't really prayed today.

...

I just don't feel good.

As a side note Paramore is my band of the day... xP







Ya.

I need to remember all the stuff that God has revealed to me. That He is good. That He loves me. That He saved me. That if I was on my own I would fail, like I do, but with Him we can do anything.

I wish I had an amazing testimony, but I don't really remember things very long. xP I don't remember who I was. I only remember who I am, in Christ, and who I will be when I am transformed even more into the image of Christ.

Also, Starfield is pretty good. xP



xPP...... Getaway!

*'reasons' which should be able to be overcome.

"You Can't Spell OCBC without CBC!" Ha!

So.

I feel like I don't have anything to tell you. Well, actually I feel like there is one thing I MUST tell you that I actually feel I may have already told you about..?

The reason I feel this way is because I am so excited about the thing I want to tell you. I also have come to the conclusion that telling people about the things you are excited about is a way of making it even more exciting. The thing is, I end up telling either people in real life or 'you'. After I tell 'you' I don't feel such a dire feeling to tell someone.

I actually have two things I want to tell you. The second is that I finally get to go to 'Getaway'! Getaway is an annual retreat for the Youth in the OCYM Churches. OCYM, pronounced the same way I would pronounce 'o-kim', is the Ottawa Chinese Youth Ministerium..? and includes OCAC, OCBC, CCCO and EACO. The o's are all 'ottawa', the a's are all 'alliance', there is one c in each which is 'church', the b is for Bible, and the other c's are 'Chinese'.

Anyways, Getaway is annual and during March break. I think a bus of youth go to a camp somewhere and that it is a pile of fun. I really wanted to go last year, but it was postponed until some time in April and we had a musical rehearsal so I could not (even though our stage manager went... >.> She is a slimy green monster because she ditched us. jk.... I miss her... T.T). So, ya. This will be my first time and actually, I am questioning whether I am really supposed to be there considering I have graduated from High School.... but ya... xP whatever. So I will be involved in the worship at getaway meaning I will have 5 practices, a massive pile of emails and I will be busy during March Break, especially because I will still have class.... xP

I have thought of a few more things to tell you. This is how my apparently short posts (in my head) turn into a multi-page essay.

I love JK's guitar. Yesterday he and KP were practicing for Junior Worship so I had to use ET's guitar......... I very much dislike it in comparison. That is why it has been behind the couch for the last semester. I actually hugged JK's guitar when I saw it today. xP

Also, I would be very willing to trade bass guitar's with the church. I love the church's bass. However, I would bring the church's bass to church whenever I play bass at church so I don't exactly see how it works because I really only play bass at church... xP

I am a week behind in CHEM, half a week behind in BIOL and just bored in PHYS and MATH... xP FILM really doen't matter to me. xP

I have apparently reffered to AL's blog and had it sound as if you knew what I was talking about. Well... you should. AL writes a darn good blog. It is often very humourous, while being short and too the point. Although often neglected for real life issues such as plays or trips, the few posts are all of a high caliber. I don't really know what to say.... so...
Go Here---> AL's Blog!

Anyways, the main thing I am dying to tell you is that MB talked to me at a random bus stop about helping out with worship at C4C weekly meetings. I am super excited about helping out. Then there is the whole 'I get to lead worship at C4C meetings' thing that kinda makes me cringe... xP I'd rather play supportive roles, but MB apparently leads worship 3 times in a week sometimes and because of overlapping of the population ven diagram for these three events, she has to prepare three set lists. xP.... So it would be so awesome to let her take a break. And then it hits me, what if I have to lead twice in one week..?!? xP

I have just submit my Project Application. East Asia as my first choice and Desert Rain (North Africa) as my second choice. I don't really want to go to North Africa, but I feel like if I did end up going somewhere other than East Asia, that North Africa is where I would learn the most / grow the most from the experience.

Ya. I will cut off the post now and eat a salad while watching One Piece, then I shall do my bio prelab, play guitar for a maximum of 30 minutes once it gets home, hopefully do my chem post-lab and maybe do a CHEM lecture. xPPP. Let's see where that goes. Also, I should finish my daily Bible readings for today. I did 4/5 chapters for today yesterday when the pastors ditched my 'sleeping' to go eat breakfast... xP

So, ya. just Proverbs 3 left.

Ttyl.

YF FTW! / Loving Family

So, ya.

EFCC Conference here in Scarbourough has been cool. I honestly was probably not paying enough attention to the first two talks, but when I saw stats I was like completely paying attention. XP Maybe I should be a statistitian..? XP Maybe. XP

So, ya. After the stats talk and brief discussion we went out for Chinese food. I had Peking duck for the first time. It was good.

We then went for YF at the church we were staying at, HCEFC..? Hallelujah. XP I havn't actually been to YF in almost a year. We were in different groups. My group was doing a book study and it was cool. It was about prayer and everyone was at least talking most of the time. One girl not as much, but they were almost always laughing.

Hallelujah just gives off this great feeling. Everyone is just shiny for lack of a better word. One thing that is just so cool about the church (the people not the building), no matter where you go you have a large loving family.

Ya. Today, if only for YF, was amazing.

Opened My Eyes. Just In Time.

Hey.

Have I mentioned that I am in Toronto today and tommorow..? Well. I am.

Me, AL, AN, and DB woke up early and drove all the way.

One thing that has been an encouragement to me so far happened this morning. You see, I don't really know too much about what this weekend is about or what we will be doing, I didn't even know when or how we were getting here until last night. So, I was kinda wondering if I really should be here. When I woke up I looked at my clock. It said 7:02. I had 23 minutes to get ready. Including packing, shower, breakfast etc. I managed to get ready.

I was fully ready on time. Did I mention that there was no alarm..? God woke me up with enough time. He woke me up with the maximal amount of sleep so I could go fully prepared.

So, ya that was encouraging. I could have slept another hour by accident and missed the whole thing. I could have, but I randomly woke up just in time.

Ya.

Ttyl.
