Day 185: Simple but Meaningful

so, i went bowling with some of the older students.. and the TAs made this during art!! but since i wasn't there.. they didn't make me one.. i was sad...

today, i had work and afterwards, i had scheduled “office hours” with mr. Fungming, so i met up with him at starbucks and just shared. i mean, well, i did most of the sharing, but i’m so thankful that Raj made time for me to just sit and listen and ask questions.. i’m always thankful for people like that

afterwards, i bummed around starbucks, target, kohls, and then finally caribou, waiting for Christopher we met up, i ate dinner at panera, and then as we were driving, we saw lightning! so we decided to head over to flick park and watch the lightning show up on the hill hehe. it was really nice, except Christopher was getting bitten like crazy by mosquitoes.. =\ his blood is sweeter than mine. yay..? haha jk

afterwards, we called it a night and split. it was a very simple day, but meant a lot.

Day 184: Not Much

my new rainbows

today was a pretty bum day besides work. i went to college group afterwards and then went over to Christopher’s parking lot to just talk. we’d been going through a tough time.. mostly because of me.. i’m just too selfish, blegh _-_, glad to say, we ended the night without any negative feelings.

case in point.

Day 183: Old Spice

today at work, it was our last field trip to the pool! yay hahaha. so what made pool-time really fun was that the counselors made up this shooting game in the pool. hahah basically, we just shoot each other in cool, awesome, action movie-esque ways, and we fall in the water like we got hit by them. hahah this totally made the time go by SUPER fast =) i really miss my kids.

afterwards, i got myself a pair of Rainbows! YAY
oh, so what i left out from the blog before this one is that.. my havaianas broke booo..
anyways. i’ve wanted a pair of rainbows since last summer, but i couldn’t drop the money for them… and i went to get them earlier this summer, but thanks to a small discussion w/ Christopher, i decided to get havaianas. but. after the havaianas broke, i decided to get Rainbows! chyeah.

afterwards, i went to canaan vision center to drop by cyc zone group’s bible study afterwards, Annabelle, Shirley, Kenneth and i made a college group old spice commercial for that week’s college group we were actually at church until 2 in the morning making this video hahaha, it was mucho fun

Day 182: HALF WAY, BABY

my morning

Inception

today, i took a personal day.. i wasn’t feeling well in the morning, so i called in sick to work and decided that i should spend some time with myself. i do love work, but being with people for such a long period of time during the day really is draining, soooo.. yeah, i just sat at starbucks by myself and ate a yogurt parfait, blogged, and just sat outside. it was really nice

later in the afternoon, Gratch, Jmal and I hung out and just chilled at Gratch’s house. Julie had to leave early for dinner, so Gratch and I just talked for a couple hours.. it was a much-needed talk and i’m so very thankful. SO very thankful.

earlier in the day, i asked Christopher if he wanted to watch Inception that night, and he said he’d want to, and Annabelle had said her and Tonny were going to go watch it later that night, so i asked if we could join and they said yes so, after Gratch’s, i left for glenview. i stopped by REI to get a pair of Sanuk’s sandals (yoga mat style!) then i headed over to the theaters. Chris sadly informed me that he couldn’t make it to the movies, and i didn’t take it well at all. that whole situation ended pretty bad, to say the least.

so, i got to the theater like 30 minutes before the movie started because… i didn’t have anything better to do hahaha, and i saved seats for the people that were supposed to come. i was informed that Shirley, Annabelle, Charley, and Tonny were supposed to come, so  i saved seats for the 5 of us! Tonny came first, then Charley then Annabelle. sadly, Shirley didn’t come

INCEPTION WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGG. i have yet to watch it a second time.

oh btw, this was the half way mark in my project 365

Day 181: Blessings and Screamings

elijah was crying as he looked out the window looking for his mama and papa it was sad...

eeek. finally trying to try and update my blog.. i think i’m almost a month behinddd!

the 181st day of my project 365 fell on July 18, 2010, the day after Annabelle’s birthday. since it was a sunday, i went to church in the morning, then CEC had a lunch-outing, so a bunch of us went out to golf mill to share some lunch and chill! it was the first time that Gratch came out to church since her hip-injury..it was great to see her again!

afterwards, a bunch of my class people and a couple other chingoos went to the new red mango that opened down the street from liquid fusion (competition, bum bum bummmmmm). it was my first time there! i had lots of fun!

afterwards, pastor Yang’s (Thomas and Julie’s pops!) ordination was later in the afternoon, and i had the privilege of witnessing this blessing ceremony! it was kind of really cool. there was this part of the ceremony where we all lay hands on the person in front of us, and it ultimately goes all the way up to pastor Yang.. and we prayed for him this way. it was cool cuz all of us were a part of the prayer for him body of Christ, indeed.

i had to actually kinda leave early because Alenna asked me to house sit for the fam earlier sunday morning i was excited because i haven’t house-sat for them in a long long time! i got to play w/ little Elijah and Timothy a bit before we put them to sleep..err, Alenna put them Timothy to sleep. i got to play w/ Elijah a bit more before his bed time. although for most of the time, he cried… BUT. as we were watching Sesame Street, he calmed down.. and he actually rested his head on my shoulder when i held him… omygosh, it melted my heart.

i asked Christopher to come house sit with me, but since i left early, he didn’t have a ride to PJ’s and Alenna’s, so he just went home. i was pretty bummed about it, but.. i shouldn’t have been.

i love the Park’s! you will surely be missed at Canaan, but we will be praying for you guys!! <3
