Month: December 2003

  • I went to dim sum today with family. That was really good. I haven't had it in a while. The food was alright. It wasn't great. I've had much better before. Now we are just chilling at home, hehe. It's raining today so we really don't have much choice either, hehe. Can't do anything outdoors so that's a bummer.


    My mom is teaching my tai chi jian. That's really cool and fun so far. I just started learning but hopefully, I can have it all down by the time we get back to Colorado. That would be really cool. Then I get to perform it, hehe. Not to mention have a nice warm up exercise every morning, hehe. Although the rain doesn't help too much with the learning process cause we have to do it outside. That's alright though.


    My walk with the Lord hasn't been going that well lately. It's been really tough getting into the Word and fellowshipping with Father. There's not much time for me either to get alone with God. There's always family around and what not. One really cool thing is my grandma on my dad's side is a Christian now. I was never really sure if she was. I heard she went to church and all, but we all know that doesn't make someone Christian. My dad also asked us if it was ok for her to come live with us in Colorado. I said sure and my brother was like whatever, hehe. So we'll see what happens. If she does come, I could take her to church every Sunday, hehe. That would mean I'd have to go back to the Chinese church again. We'll see what happens. The Lord will lead me. Maybe I can drop her off at church and pick her up again after my service. There's lunch served at the Chinese church so I have time, hehe. I don't want to just leave her at church either. So we'll see, hehe.


    I went and saw Lord of the Rings:Return of the King again yesterday with my family. That was fun. Not any better than the first time I saw it. I did notice more though. Like always. You always see more the second time you see a movie, hehe. So that was really cool. They all really enjoyed it. I heard from my cousin that it followed really well with the book. And also they left a few things out too. Otherwise the movie would have been like 4 hours long, haha. Oh well, it was good nonetheless. I want to see the movies Paycheck and Honey now. I also want to see that new Steve Martin movie. I forget the title right now, hehe. We'll see, hehe. Time and money are two big issues, hehe.


    It's almost the New Year. Excited everyone? hehe. I know I am. This year went by so fast. A lot of change in everyone. Most people had there ups and downs. Some people did just fine, and other people are doing better than before. We all live our lives. Just like Gandalf said in LOTR:Fellowship of the Ring. It's what we do with our time that really matters. Anyway.


    Take care and God Bless you all. Have an awesome New Years. I love you all very much.

  • Man, it's been such a long time since I've posted on here. I apologize for those of you that like to read what I put up. Anyway, it's Friday now. Day after Christmas. Jesus' birthday. Finally able to check email again, hehe. I checked last night for a few minutes, but only got to go through a few, hehe.


    First of all. We had a great and safe drive to California. Steve should get here on the 30th by plane. We are leaving on the 1st back for Colorado. Should get home on the 2nd. That's the plan anyway. Hopefully we'll stick with it, hehe. We've gone out to dinner and been with family the whole time. It's been fun. We did go and see the Stanford campus today. That was pretty cool. Beautiful trees and such. Palm trees are really cool, hehe. Don't have any of those in Colorado, hehe.


    Thanks to all the people that went to Kathy's party/gettogether. It was tons of fun. It was great seeing everyone again. Thank you again Kathy for having it at your house. It was a lot of fun, thank you thank you thank you. It was awesome. Thanks be to my secret santa. The present was so thoughtful and so awesome. I was about to cry when I went to bed. It was such an awesome present. I love it so much. Sometimes God will use an unbeliever to show you what's going on in your life and what you need to change. It was very sweet of you, my "secret" santa/girlfriend for a year, hehe. Thank you so much. Love you lots, thanks.


    Hope you all had an awesome Christmas. Hope you all got what you wanted. I really didn't want anything and what I did get, I'm very thankful for. Hope you all have a great New Years. Gong xi fa cai, hong bao na lai, hehe. I already got a few, hehe. Praise God, hehe.


    Alright, that's all I really have to say right now. I'm going to watch Lord of the Rings:Fellowship of the Ring right now with the family. Tomorrow we are probably going to go and see Lord of the Rings:Return of the King. I already saw it, hehe. I don't mind seeing it again, hehe.


    Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much.

  • Well, still haven't posted that uphill flatline thing. Hopefully I can post it tonight along with this posting. Need time to do it, hehe.


    Anyway, I didn't get a chance to go watch Lord of the Rings:Return of the King today. I was too tired, hehe. It's just a movie. I can watch it tomorrow or something. No hurry, hehe. I did play LOTR:ROTK on my PS2 though and that made me want to watch it even more, hehe.


    So I just sat at home and played more games, haha. Alright, I'm going to post that uphill thing now, hehe.


    So the whole thing with that is I don't have "downhill" times. When I'm doing what God wants me to do, I'm going uphill and growing in knowledge, wisdom and everything else. When I'm not, it's not a down time, but a flatline time. Where there is just no growth. Not downhill because I still know what I know and remember what I've learned. It's just a time where I only use what I've learned in the past. Not really seeking to where I'm supposed to go. So that's pretty much what it means. I may be sad or kinda depressed. But the answer to all that is just Jesus again. So there really is no reason to be sad or depressed, hehe. Go God!! hehe.


    Alright, that's it for now. Gonna get offline now. I keep getting d/c. I'll talk to you all later. Take care and God Bless. Love you all very much.

  • For Tuesday:


    I didn't do much today at all. I just played games for the most part, hehe.


    I did go and pick up my little brother from school though, hehe. So I did get out, lol.


    This riddle was in an email sent throughout the Heritage Camp people, hehe. I've seen it so many times and I answered it when I first saw it. Here it is:


    What is greater than God, More evil than the devil,
    The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat
    it, you'll die?


    The answer: It's nothing


    Nothing is greater than God. Nothing is more evil than the devil. The poor have nothing. The rich need nothing. If you eat nothing, you'll die.


    I'm going to post the uphill and flatline thing tonight. My little brother has to use the computer for his homework. Be back later to post it, hehe.


    Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much.

  • For Monday:


    Yeah, I can like never post on the correct date, hehe. I'll get there soon enough, hehe.


    I didn't really do much on Monday. I spent the night at my friend Robin's house...again on Sunday night. Woke up and watched "Three Kings". Good movie. Talks about Saddam Hussein and his regiment and stuf. Really kinda cool since we caught him and all. hehe.


    I just came home afterwards and relaxed some more. Played some games and what not. That was cool, hehe. I'm really enjoying NHL2004. Lots of fun, hehe.


    Alright, that's it for Monday's stuff, lol. I Corinthians 13

  • For Sunday:


    Man, I'm getting really bad at posting on the desired date huh? haha. That's alright. I'm just busy and I'm not online 24/7 so yeah, hehe.


    Anyway, I went to church with my friend Mizuki today. She really loves Word of Life. She got so much information about the church and all the ministries. She even got a membership form and everything. It was so inspiring to see that in her. I only just met her like 2 weeks ago and she's just so awesome to hang out with. I don't know how long she's been a believer, but it's so inspiring to just be with her. She's so hungry for the word of God and she's so willing to learn. She won't just take your word for it and she'll actually really think about it and study it on her own time. Gosh, it's just so awesome to see that in a sister or brother. I love spending time with her because I get to do what God has really called me to do. Preach and teach His Word to believers and nonbelievers alike. I have so much fun with her. We laugh, and teach and talk. It's so fun.


    Mizuki, Robin, Bobby and I went and saw The Last Samurai today. Man, such an awesome awesome movie. I really really enjoyed it. For all of you that are considering it, GO SEE IT!! It's so awesome. I'm going to go and see Lord of the Rings:Return of the King on Wednesday. Opening day. I'm going to see it when all the little high schoolers are still in school, haha. That way the theatre is pretty empty. Unless of course people ditch work and ditch school to go and see it, hehe. Which I'm sure people will. lol. I really want to see that, hehe. I also really want to see the movie Honey. Gosh, the dancing in that movie just looks awesome, hehe.


    Bobby came and hung out with us tonight. Man, that was so awesome being able to see him and talk to him face to face again. I didn't want to say goodbye after the movie. Just wanted to keep talking and keep talking. You gotta let them go though, hehe. Not to mention I had to take Robin and Mizuki home. So I gave Bobby a big hug and we went our ways for the night, hehe. We'll definitely hang out again just the two of us. Man, after tonight, I realize that there are only a select few people I would just love to spend my time with. Bobby is definitely one of them. I could just sit there with him all day and all night and we can just talk. God would lead and we 3 would all have a great time. He's one person that I will never lose in my life. I'd fight for anything and everything to keep him in my life. If all I had in my life were him and God, that would be all I need. Of course, I do want to have a great family and everything too. Although, the more and more I learn, I may be called to be single. Which would really suck because I don't want to be. If it's God's will that I am though, He will take away the desire to want a mate. So far, that desire has been taken away a few times. That's cause my focus is back on Father, hehe. Not a girl or the world. So that's been awesome.


    I'm staying here at Robin's house again. I'm way too tired to drive home. I don't want to fall asleep on the drive home. That would be dangerous. I know God will protect me, but I'm not about to tempt God. It's not just my life either. It would be Mizuki's too. I can't afford to put her life in danger because I'm tired. That's just not cool. I'm not going to do that. With anyone, hehe.


    I also watched another movie while here at Robin's house. I watched What a Girl Wants. Chick flick I know. It's really good though. I really enjoyed that movie too. It was awesome, hehe, along with some comedy. Robin also treated us to dinner tonight. That was really awesome of her to do. We went to Bova's. It's an Italian restaurant. Robin is really good friends with all the employees and owners and such. They are all family in a sense, hehe. The owners and employees are all family in some way shape or form. Robin might as well be family she knows them all so well, hehe. So that was a real blessing tonight. It was really good food too. If I had the money to go, I'd go more often, hehe. It's THAT good, lol.


    That secret santa party is coming up. It's interesting. Everyone's having a tough time decided dates and times. They should just set a date and time and get it over with. I mean, it's just a get together since the word party is restricted, haha. It should be fun, if it ever happens. I still have to get my present too. I do know what I'm going to get already though so that's not a problem. Just have to find time to go and pick it up, hehe.


    Another thing. For those of you that read my posts, as long as they are. I was sought out again, as usual, to help put on another performance. They wanted me to find the same people that were singing at the double tenth celebration. So for those of you that were there, another offer to dress up and do a fashion show. I'm definitely going to do it and they really want me to arrange it again, hehe. So let me know what you all think. I will send it out through e-mail soon to let you all know cause I know you all don't read my posts, hehe.


    Hope you all had a great day. Sorry I didn't post the uphill and flatline thing like I said I would. It's 4 am in the morning and I'm really tired. I'm falling asleep while typing this, hehe. I love you all very much. Take care and God Bless.

  • For Saturday:


    Well, I didn't do much today at all again, hehe. I just played games and relaxed again. I really have to go out and look for a job and what not soon. That or get ready and pack for California, hehe. Hopefully I can find a job. I need a job. Badly, lol. I also need to get back into reading the Bible. It has been a while since I've really read through it. Bad, I know, hehe.


    Man, I really have nothing to post today. So uneventful, haha. That's alright, I'll have more to post from here on out. Hopefully, hehe. Someone did ask me about the whole uphill and flatline thing I mentioned. I'll put that up next posting, hehe. Don't have time now, lol.


    Take care everyone. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • For Friday:


    Well, I really didn't do much today at all. I just sat in my room and played games. It was really nice to really relax without having to think about homework, or study for a test, hehe.


    Me and Steve played games all night, haha. It was pretty fun actually. We are getting better at NHL2004. They did a really good job on this hockey game. It's not a game where there is one way to score all the time. It's pretty random on how you can score. So I really like that. I'm still on the medium setting and having a challenge. So that's really cool, hehe.


    Tomorrow I may go and check out youth group. Hopefully I wake up in time since it's already 1 am. I'm still playing games, haha. I get to stay up all night if I want to. Don't have to sleep yet, hehe. I will though. Need rest. ^_^


    Well, my friend Kaori has gone back to Japan for the winter break. She should be back again for next semester schooling. Hope she has a great flight all the way back there. Long trip, hehe.


    Bobby should be home too from Oklahoma. Not sure if he'll be able to hang out on Saturday, but Sunday after church is definitely a possibility. ^_^


    Alright, hope you all had an awesome day Friday. For everyone that's down, chin up. There's a song for that, I just don't know it by heart. It's in the movie Charlotte's Web. ^_^ Good movie, hehe. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • For Thursday:


    Well, I just finished taking my Accounting final. I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I didn't really study too much for it either. I missed a few days of class and I really should have gone to the review session. Oh well, even though I should have and didn't, I don't regret it. I know I'll still get a good grade in that class. I just have to focus on my business final now.


    I went to bed last night at 4 am. Gosh, I really wish I hadn't. I put on a movie since I moved my PS2 and the tv into my room. I put it on in hopes of falling asleep to it. Didn't happen. I ended up laying in bed watching the movie. Good movie though, hehe. Count of Monte Cristo. It was funny, I thought I put in a different movie and when it started, I was confused. I'm like....this isn't how the movie starts. It was DVD so it was the Main Page or whatever. I'm like, it shouldn't be this. Then it actually hit the main page and I'm like, oh yeah, I put this one in, not the other one, hehe.


    Speaking of movies, I'm going out with some friends tonight to see a movie. I'm not sure what to see yet. I really want to see The Last Samurai, but I think me and Bobby are going to watch it on Saturday. So I'm not sure what's going on, hehe. It's interesting to actually have some college friends. I'm not saying Teddy, Ivo, Mike and others aren't college friends, they are. It's just they are still young, hehe. I'm talking about people that are the same age and older than I am, hehe. It really is a different feeling.


    Speaking of the Yueh's, they have finished their first semester in college. hehe. Congratulations boys. Mike is almost done with his first semester too. Keep pressing hard Mike, you're almost done. Now it's time for 7 more semesters, haha. Depending on your major. Hope you all enjoyed your first semester in college. It really is an experience of it's own. Stories and experiences of others kind of help, but you never really know college until you go. All you high schoolers should be excited for college. It's really something you don't want to miss. It is also very worth going to college. Plan your lives out. It'll help you in the future. I didn't and now I'm kind of just going day by day. I'm working on it and getting better though, hehe.


    Bobby wrote me an e-mail speaking about evil. That was really interesting. Even though I put up the post, I was still struggling with the thought. Probably because the devil wanted me to believe what I posted and God was fighting saying wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold on, don't jump to conclusions just yet. Let me show you what I mean. Good thing I have a Godly influence in my life to help me out in times like these, hehe. Praise God!! It's too much to post on the site, if you want to know more, you know how to get a hold of me, lol. Basically, it really does boil back down to God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good. He really is good. We have our own interpretations of that phrase, and if we just seek God on what that really means, man, you really do have to have an extra pair of socks, cause it will blow your current pair off, hehe. If you think that was stupid, I heard it on a sitcom and I thought it was really funny, hehe.


    Secret Santa party is coming up. Or rather "get together" depending on where we have it, hehe. We should really invite other people too. Even though they wouldn't be included in the exchanging of gifts because we didn't know they were coming, they can still enjoy themselves at the party. OR!! If we knew they were coming beforehand, we could get them a little something, hehe. Just so they aren't "left out" or anything like that, hehe. It's hard to do things correctly now. Everyone has their opinions of what's right and wrong. You can't please everyone, or can you? hehe. I do my best, lol. It should be fun though.


    Hope you all have a beautiful blessed day. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • For Wednesday:


    Well, today wasn't too bad. Posting kind of late cause I didn't get on the internet at all today. Anyway, this is the last week of school. Finally, hehe. School has been pretty fun this semester. Difficult, but fun nonetheless.


    I finally came home last night. Gosh. I was really starting to get home sick. I felt bad too that I had to stay at my friend's house for so many days. We weren't even hanging out either like when I spent the time at Teddy and Ivo's. My "home". If I was just hanging out, that would be a different story, but I was there for work. We were working non-stop. It was crazy. I'm finally home though and it feels good. I'm really liking it, hehe.


    I took my programming final tonight. Man, that was killer. Everyone was having problems. It wasn't hard or anything, it's just no one's programs were working correctly. Like one guy spent 20 minutes just trying to get the set-up done when all he had to do was refresh his window. He couldn't figure out why things weren't working. Just really stupid stuff like that is what everyone was struggling with. Things in my program weren't working right either. Just really basic things weren't working right and I never figured out why. Ran out of time. It was really really dumb. It would work just fine on every other program, except this one. Blah is all I have to say about it. I got the program to work for the most part, just little things were wrong and I know what they are.


    Bobby comes home this weekend. YAY!!! I can't wait to see him again. I wasn't feeling to well and our schedules didn't permit us to hang out during Thanksgiving weekend. I can't wait to hang out with him again. We both have so much to talk about and to discuss and to catch up on. It's going to be great. Never a dull moment with him, hehe. Praise God for putting us two together in 6th grade. Gosh, I don't know where I'd be without God and without my best friend Bobby. *prayer* Thank you Father for placing Bobby and I in the same middle school and the same class with all the same teachers.


    Hopefully my grades are awesome this semester. I feel that I did really well. I know I worked hard this semester. All semester, not just at the beginning or the end, but throughout. That way I can transfer them to Oklahoma and finally go to Oral Roberts University. I can't wait to finally go there. Gosh, Bobby has had so much fun there, I'm envious, haha. Nah, I just really want to go. Find out what Father has planned for me out there.


    My friend Mizuki wants to come to church with me sometime. It's really interesting. I was really attracted to her when I first met her. It was really really strange. I didn't even know her and yet, it was like I really wanted to get together with her. I'm not going to nor do I plan on doing it at all, it was just something really interesting. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop hanging out with her or not be her friend, hehe. I just thought man, I was so easily distracted by this girl whom I had just met. She is a Christian sister which is really cool. I was able to really teach her a lot for the amount of time we hung out. It was really fun, hehe. She is Japanese in case you couldn't tell by her name, hehe. She's going back to Japan soon too.


    I just want to say thank you to everyone that puts up eProps and comments. It means a lot to me really. I was never sure if people ever read my posts, hehe. Not that it mattered because I was going to continue posting and everything. It's just cool to know that people are reading them, hehe.


    Alright, well now I have to finish my homework and finish studying for my last 2 finals. *prayer* Father, please let me do well on these tests. It's so I can get a good grade and get into the school that you want me at. It's all for your glory. I love you Father and I thank you for everything in my life. I ask that you bless my night, give me good sleep and rest for my tests tomorrow and I ask that you bless my day tomorrow. In Jesus' Might Name, AMEN and AMEN!! *prayer*


    Hope you all had a great day. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13
