Waaahhh...this week is has gone by WAY TOO FAST. It's already gonna be friday and where did all the time go?? Seriously...i dont even feel like i've had a week off...even considering i started my reading week a bit late, still these past few days have just gone by in a flash. Sigh...i've studied for maybe an hour and half so far this week (eeks). So tomorrow i'll be hitting the books hardcore...hopefully...after lunch with my sibs. Hope i can concentrate...

A few of us had our jam session today at church. It was cool...just praising the Lord in such carefree manner, no practice or songs picked in advance. Purely spontaneous praise...quite enjoyable. Gotta do it more... Pics and videos (hehe) will be posted when i get back to London. I started learning Blessed Be Your Name on guitar today too with the help of my bro...after soooo long of not touching it. I feel bad for not practicing enough...*sigh*. Need more dedication...

Well i think i should get to bed soon...went to bed at 7am this morning! And then had to wake up for the jam session. That's what not hanging out with your 2 best friends for a month will do to u! Haha...they stayed over last night and we watched movies and gabbed all night long. Good times...

Aaggh...i really should've set an alarm when i fell asleep today. Or actually...should've went to weldon to study despite my desire to stay home. But no one's there ne more
:( Well, came home from HYPE sleepover a little after 1pm and started studying for psych but i had the urge to nap for a bit (A BIT meaning 1 hour or 2). So i gave in since i hadn't had much sleep over these past couple nites...actually i haven't been sleeping enough this whole week. But i fell asleep for almost 4 hours!! Ahhh...today was supposed to hardcore studying...i guess i'll have to do that now. AND TOMORROW!!

HYPE sleepover was good tho...lotsa fun and good fellowship. We started off the night with some chatting and playing "2 truths and a lie" to find out some stuff about each other we never knew b4. Fun fun... Then finally finding the paint...we started to "paint". Haha not really tho. The worship workshop by josh was cool..but lasted a little long so we didn't have a lot of time to play brian's games. But we did play one...gorgon? That was fun...good game. Then off to bed...or girl talk? Hahaha...
This morning...woke up to make breakfast...chilled for a bit and finally came home. Good time..!

I better get back to studying tho...ugh? Well i still have all day tomorrow after church. I'm not even worried too much...lol i'm blogging! But i still have a lot to cover. Hmmm... "The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied" (Prvb). I better get diligenting!! Haha...

Man my sleeping pattern is totally thrown off now...not gonna be able to sleep for awhile tonite......

Had a good day today...i haven't been home enough lately so since health sci was cancelled, i decided to skip my english tutorial and come home early today. I fell asleep for like 3 hours!! Sheeesh...haha i wasn't planning on napping for that long but oh well. I was beat...lack of sleep this week. I actually fell asleep fully during bio lecture. Eeks.

After class...we bussed back to campus from Brescia and since my bus home wasn't coming for another 15 mins, i decided to take a walk to Deli since it was suuuuch a nice day! I never do that...i usually avoid walking in general...lol. But coming home meant skipping workout too so i guess it was good. Lol...it wasn't even a long walk at all.

Coming home also meant not getting much work done...eek psych is on monday, i should really be reading right now. Oh wells...still got some time tomorrow and the weekend... HYPE sleepover tomorrow nite!! Should be interesting...haha, never slept over in a church b4. I always wanted to do that back at our old church in windsor. Woulda been sooo fun!

I'm looking fwd to going back to windsor...haven't been back in like 4 weeks. That's pretty long...the longest i've gone without going back i think. Looking fwd to a jam session with buds too!! Yaaaa....that's gonna be sooo great!! Well i'm out for now....EVERY ONE HAVE A GRRRRREEEAAAAT READING WEEK!!

Awesome weekend!! Despite the studying and everything... My parents decided to go back to windsor...so i decided to crash at friends places all weekend so didnt have to come back home...i live too far away from everything!! So the weekend started off with studying in the lib friday then ACF at night. We had a bible study on "Freedom in Christ"...reeeally good. It was more discussion too so that was cool. Then afterwards a bunch of us went to Samo's to make "dan tats" (egg tarts) and hang out. Fun fun... Saturday morning...woke up "early" to go to weldon to study... and i holed myself up on second floor away from everyone. Partly cuz i had to prepare for HYPE workshop that night too... After awhile we went for dinner at UCC and i sensed something was up...due to a couple reasons... After eating i called brian to see if he was on the way to pick me up yet. And no answer...then a couple mins later i see him walking towards us (thinking he was coming to get me)....but he wasn't alone. Justin, Shaggy and Jon were right behind him...?? And they ended up serenading us girls (cho, dren and I) with BSB's "All I have to Give" HAHAHAHA...it was so great! Right in the middle of UCC!! A Valentine's day to remember...lol. At HYPE we did a prayer workshop...broke up into 2 groups and i think it went pretty well. Good worship b4 hand too... After HYPE, off to singles night at Demetri's! A good time of dessert and fellowship...and lotsa picture taking! And ended up back at Samo's again afterwards...

Stayed over at Cho's that night and went to West London for church in the morning. Shirley Dren and I had decided to check it out. The whole service was pretty good! And went to Angelo's for lunch with some West London upper years...and finally back to weldon for some more studying. At about 5ish my lack of sleep got the better of me and i gave into a nap! Haha...shirley was already sleeping so i followed her lead and sprawled on a couple chairs...quite comfortable! Woke up...dinner...and studied some more. Left weldon around 11pm to go back to shirley's. After some girl and God talk (which was so cool btw)...the day finally ended...zzzzzZZZZ..... But wait! There's more! Haha... We woke up early this morning to go the 8am prayer meeting at UCC. WoW...it was sooooo cooool. A small bunch of us gathered there on 3rd floor just sharing, praying and experiencing the moving of the Spirit and His mighty power...wow. I don't even know how to talk about it. But i'm looking fwd to some more!! I'm so excited to see what God has in store for us...

Aagggh...better get back to studying...i've rambled on long enough! Can't wait to get home tomorrow after my 2 exams and watch friends/survivor/fearfactor that i've had to tape cuz no time to watch to watch them!

Well i've been blogging quite frequently lately. What's goin on...? Haha. Well we had an awesome time of prayer tonite at Women's Cell. I love it....i love when someone prays and u're totally moved by what they're praying... It's awesome. I can't even put this in words. And the openess that we have with one and other is just such a blessing. I love how we can just talk so freely. And we had cake after! Yum...thanx cheryl! Women's cell just keeps gettin better and better....yaaaaa!

A few friends (Christine, Sharon, Ada) and I started a msg board for Purpose Driven Life. It's gonna be sooo good. I'm excited for it! I'm gonna link it soon...maybe right after i post this. If i dont have ne technical difficulties...haha. And link my imagestation too! Yaaaaa...

Worked out and boxfit today! My soreness from last week has left me...good or bad? Maybe i'll feel it more tomorrow... I didn't get ne work done again today...due to working out and other things lol. Agh...
Tomorrow...need get into it...hardcore at weldon tomorrow night? Need to tape friends and survivor then...hehe. NOoooooooo Ethan better not get voted off! Saboga cannot lose immunity AGAIN!!

I've been going to bed too late lately...I didn't use to think 2am was that late? I usually can take it but i'm beginning to actually feel tired at nights now..that usually only happens during the day, specifically during classes lol. Awliiiiiiieeeeeee.....time to go. Buh bye.

Wednesday, February 11, 2004

Aaaaah my day of studying didn't work out quite so well. I got SOME work done but not as much as i would've liked. Ended up going to josh's after class to help him "cook". Haha dren and I in the kitchen...loads of fun!! We made a pretty nifty vegetable/meat soup/stew...lol yum. And HYPE prestudy after that....so zero work done tonite. Plus when i came home i was too busy playing around with this site sooo...even more no work done. Sigh...oh wells exams aren't till next tues? Got some time still...

I've found that i can't really stay in a bad mood for a long time...i think i've blogged about this b4. Oh wait ..that might've been on aa. But ne ways...i guess it's a good thing but i find it kinda weird cuz i know there are ppl who can go on for days being down. Are the things that get me down just not significant enough? I can't stay mad or sad for very long. I dunno.... and now i sound self-absorbed...aiya!

But on another note...i love when God hits u with something right when u need it. It's the greatest when he slaps u in the face with an "I told u so" or a "why the heck were u being like that when u should know things are gonna work out?" Gotta love how He works...

Hello... Yvonne's right sometimes it's hard to start these things (she said that in one of her blogs). Hmmm.....

Well my weekend was pretty good. HYPE last night was cool...we talked about spiritual gifts. It's good to have a list of them for you like that...so u can see them and be able to pick out what ones u think u have. Got into some pretty good insights. U HYPE kids are awesome!! Good night...

For the first time i was actually there and stayed for the Love Feast today at LCAC. Mmmmm good food. HeHe...don't have too much else to say about that...lol.

Started the Purpose Driven Life today. So many ppl are doing it and talking about it...decided to see what it's all about! Conclusion so far.....it's GOOD. For those who don't know...it's a 40 day devotional that helps you to learn and understand God's purpose for your life. Of course there's a lot more to it...but u gotta read it to find out more! But there was a line in the first day that really stood out to me...."You didn't create yourself, so there is no way u can tell yourself what u were created for!" That is one part among many that stood out to me actually. But yea...the chapter was about how it's not about us...we were "made by God and for God"... and "life is about letting God use you for His purposes, not your using Him for your own purpose. We get so wrapped up with trying to find out what the heck we're on this earth for and sometimes we try too hard to take things into our own hands. But God ALREADY KNOWS what our purpose is...we just have to be patient and trust that He'll reveal it to us in His time... It's a pretty simple concept...but that "you didn't create yourself" line is just great...the analogy Rick Warren gave was if u were given an invention u've never seen b4, you wouldn't know it's purpose. And the invention itself wouldn't know either...only the INVENTOR would know what it's supposed to do. So yea...i think i've said too much about it already. I'm giving away everything haha... go read it ppl.

Wells...back to work. Goodbye weekend...hello new week....

ACF coffeehouse was tonite.....it was my first time at a coffeehouse. Pretty cool!! Very laid back and cozy environment. I helped serve and stuff so i didn't get a chance to talk to ppl that much like i wanted to... Soooo many ppl.... The program was good tho...lotsa songs and stuff. Probably gonna do something next year for coffeehouse....ne one want to do a skit?? HeHe...

Well my parents and i were SUPPOSED to go to Toronto this weekend to visit my grandma...but nope not happening ne more. Geez my parents are so indecisive. They don't decide that we're going until thursday...then today they change their minds cuz of the weather. Supposedly getting freezing rain tonite? I was kinda lookin fwd to going but oh well....we'll prolly go soon.

Aaahhh my arms are soooo sore. Went to work out again yesterday...2nd time in the weight room! Dunno why but i think i'm gonna keep goin. I NEVER thought i'd be doing weights...it's soooo not me. I wanted to just stick to cardio but i dunno what happened...haha. I dont think boxfit is enough tho...gotta start going to the cardio room too...never been yet....

Well think it might be time for bed... A plus of not going to TO is that i get to sleep in tomorrow! YaY. Sleep is soooo goooooooooood. ZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Wednesday, February 04, 2004

Waaaahh worked out in the weight room for the first time today! Startin to feel it now... Thanx for the training session Shaggy! Haha...yay now i know how to work some machines. I went expecting a cardio workout but we ended up in the weight room? Hmm but yea it turned out ok. Felt good to actually WORK OUT. Gonna do boxfit tomorrow and thursday too! Oohh i'm in the zone...lol.

My parents went back to windsor today ... supposedly for just a day but they had to stay longer. Sooo i'm home alone again! It's enjoyable sometimes having the place to myself. Freeeeeeeeee......

Just want to clarify something from my last blog...bout living closer to campus next year. It's true i am moving probably closer to campus...but where and with who is still up in the air. No matter what my parents want to move...but i MIGHT not be staying with them. Other accomodations may be in order...dont wanna go too much in detail cuz everything is still iffy.

Aaahh what am i still doing up? Need to sleeeep...long day tomorrow! Gnitez!

Pretty good weekend...

Friday night was Ron Burdock speaking at ACF. He gave an awesome message... Then it was gym night. Me being the not-too-athletic type enjoyed the games but didn't really participate in the actual sports...hehe instead i chatted with sonja and sam, my fellow non-athletics! Saturday...did some work and went to the seminar at LCAC. It was cool. The speaker was Rev. Daniel Tjoe-a-long...our old english pastor in windsor from back in the day. It was cool seeing him again...and hearing him speak. It was a good seminar... Today - church, HYPE meeting, snowfootball/superbowl party. Altho i wasn't really into the snowfootball OR the superbowl. LOL...just went to hang out. It was a cool time...

And let's not forget.....the highlight of the weekend.....SURVIVOR ALLSTARS!!!! Haha j/k...i'm such a geek. It was just on...i was so excited for it...never mind the superbowl!! LOL... Tina got voted out already...i feel bad for her. She was targeted just cuz she won b4 already. Stupid Jerry and Jenna...argness. And now Ethan is gonna get voted out next in that tribe...MAAAN! K i'll stop talking about this now for all u NON-SURVIVOR fans... But maaan this thursday is NEW supersize friends AND Survivor...woooo! Hehe...

Man midterms are coming so quick...or are already here for some ppl. I better get my butt into gear... Siiiighh back to weldon again? Well not like i haven't been goin regularly...but i haven't been spending continuous amounts of time there. Just go there sometimes for breaks. The disadvantages of living far from campus... Glad that's changing next year :)

Another week has gone ... another week has come. Mondays...are so hated. Haha i dont want to say i hate them cuz i dont really. But they just signify the all things school again... Hmmm. Well i'll wrap up here cuz still got some stuff to do b4 bed! Gnite aaaallllll........
