    That's pretty much me, hehe.

     






    How You Life Your Life

    You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside.
    You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
    You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
    You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.


     

    I can see myself doing these things, hehe.

     






    Your Career Type: Social

    You are helpful, friendly, and trustworthy.
    Your talents lie in teaching, nursing, giving information, and solving social problems.

    You would make an excellent:

    You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

    In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

    You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

    Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

    Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

    You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

     Sounds about right, lol.

     






    You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish
    You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
    Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
    You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
    You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.


     

    Really?!?

     






    Slow and Steady

    Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

    They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

    It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

    They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.


     

    Interesting....I wouldn't say that's too far off.

     






    Your Inner Child Is Sad

    You're a very sensitive soul.
    You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have.
    Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone.
    You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.


     

    Yep!!

     






    Your Ideal Relationship is Serious Dating

    You're not ready to go walking down the aisle.
    But you may be ready in a couple of years.
    You prefer to date one on one, with a commitment.
    And while chemistry is important, so is compatibility.


     

    Yes!! I'm not an idiot, hahaha.

     






    You Passed 8th Grade Math

    Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!


     

    That's just funny, haha.

    What Your Sleeping Position Says
    You are calm and rational.
    You are also giving and kind - a great friend.
    You are easy going and trusting.
    However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games.

  • God works in awesome awesome ways. So my parents have gone out of town for the weekend. So they asked me to come home for the weekend to watch my brothers and the house. Well my youngest brother had a birthday party he wanted to attend on Saturday. Well, since he doesn't drive yet, I took him to the party. They said that the party was ending around 10 pm and my brother said he was going to call me to go get him. I said cool and I waited for his call. Well, I did laundry, played some games and watched some tv till about 10. He didn't call. 11 pm rolls around, still no call. Finally, it's midnight and I decide to just go get him. Both me and my other brother were a bit worried wondering when he was going to call us. So I leave for his friend's house and the whole time, my mind is just racing with a whole bunch of negative thoughts. Things I shouldn't have been considering, but I was. Thank God he was safe at his friend's house still.


    I had experienced what I've put my parents through so many times. The nights where my mom couldn't sleep cause I was out with friends doing whatever. I experienced just a little bit of that last night with my brother. And that was my brother, I couldn't imagine what it would be like if he were my son or daughter. My mom always says that I'd understand when I have kids of my own. Well, it didn't take for me to have my own kids. It happened with my own brother. I'm just very thankful that he's safe at home now. So for those of you that don't call home to at least check in with your parents or for the ones who's parents always say they can't sleep cause they don't know what's going on with you....believe them when they say that. Cause experiencing something like that is very stressful. I don't know what I would have done had something really happened to my brother. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I got to his friend's place and saw they were all there still. So call your parents if you're still living at home and you're out with friends or wherever you are. Just to let them you are ok. I know I'm going to instill that into my own kids. They better be calling me and checking in. I don't care if they are calling to say, "we are about to start a movie so I'm going to be a little late". As long as I know what they are doing and where they are....I'm cool with it. Of course, I'll teach them to respect others too so if they aren't the ones driving, they will respect the ones giving them rides in that they need to sleep too as well as have their own schedules.


    Anyway...another story about how God works. I had heard this story one time at my cell group. A girl shared it with the group about how God spoke to her about a certain situation in her life. These few weeks have been really tough for me. Currently searching for a job with no luck. Just being a bum and sitting in my apartment doing practically nothing. But aside from that...my relationship with God has been horrible. Only because of me though. God's been trying to get my attention through a lot of things and I notice them, but yet, I continue to run from Him....why? Why do we do that? I put it this way, it's like the person that likes the guy/girl that treats them like crap, while the one that truly loves them is right there for them and everything you could want in another, is in that person that has been kicked to the curb. That's how it's been with God. It's like we run to the world thinking that it's the better person for us, when the One that truly loves us is right there saying, hello? Do you not know that I love you more than anyone ever will or could? So anyway, back to my story....


    There have been 2 occassions where this has happened. The first time I was just laying in bed ready to go to bed. I look over at the clock to see what time it is. It's 2:39 am. Right when I saw the time, the Lord spoke up and said, read Matthew 23:9. I'm like....Matthew 23:9? What's that? So I flip open to the scripture....after being told to 3 times. And it says to call no man on earth your father, but your real father is the one heaven. <---summary. Wow....such conviction. It was amazing. I really needed to read that scripture. It's been difficult to treat God as my Father. Why? Because my earthly father wasn't much of a father. His fault? maybe. I think it was more my fault because I didn't really want to know him. I just saw him as the one providing for our family and the one to punish me when I screwed up or tell me when I'm wrong. I have a typical Asian father. Would I trade him for another? Nope....I love my parents now. I didn't before. I've heard it preached many a time before. Hard for people to see God as their father because they relate Him to their earthly fathers who aren't perfect and make plenty of mistakes. We can't do that. God is the ultimate Father. The perfect Father. He will never let us down, He will provide us with everything we need, and He will correct us properly/perfectly whenever we are out of line. I have more to say on that subject in a bit. But with that story, I knew a girl who God spoke to her situation the exact same way. I can't remember her scripture because that was applied to her situation. But with her, she had been praying about her situation and for 3 days straight, woke up at the exact same time. It was like 5 something in the morning. So finally, she just opened her Bible to whatever book and checked the verse that lined up with the time she had been waking up at. Sure enough, that was the exact scripture she needed that spoke to her situation. Amazing how God works huh?


    Back to God's correction. I think it's very interesting how God speaks to us. It's so different when God tells you something and when man tells you something. If man were to say "you screwed up and you need to change your ways now" most people would be offended thinking, who are you to say that to me? That's called pride by the way. However, if God were to say, "you screwed up and you need to change your ways now" most people would be like...Yes Sir!! At least that's how it is with me. I've noticed that when God speaks, for whatever reason, His voice is so soothing and it makes you want to obey Him. I just find it so amazing how God's voice is. The voice I had once come to love to hear and love to communicate with. The soothing voice that said everything was going to be ok. The voice of a lover when he/she says "I love you". That's how God's voice is. Even when God is saying, you need to change...you're just like....ok Lord, I want to change for you. Reminds me of the scripture that reads, "if you love me, you will obey my commandments". Well, I definitely used to love the Lord. I'm not so sure of it anymore. I probably still do, just definitely not as much as I used to. The things that God said I would one day be doing...I'm not so sure I can do that anymore. But I know that if He said I'll be doing it...I will be doing it one day. I just gotta get my act together...*sigh*


    Anyway...it's late and this post took longer than I expected as well as went on longer than I expected, haha. Anyway....take care everyone. God Bless. Goodnight.

  • I've seen this on a few people's sites and other places. I just had to say something. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

    "Words of wisdom (more like "wisdom"):
    "Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy... So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

    And... Men?

    Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with"


    First off, I think it's the other way around. I think it's Men are like apples on trees. Not necessarily at the top though. They are all over the tree. You just have to look for them. Women either don't look hard enough or they don't recognize what a good apple is. Most of them pick the rotten apples (jerks). While the good apples remain on the tree. OR!! Women already have the good apple with them, but they still choose the rotten apple and the good apple gets thrown to the side or on the ground and ends up getting stomped on.


    And let's say women are the apples. When men go to reach for the good ones, they STILL get pushed aside. Why? because the apple has seen a different guy. The good apples up top are still looking down at the rotten men going after the apples on the bottom. So either way...the good guy still ends up losing. Am I bitter? Of course not, I just hate seeing stupid things happen.


    And men are definitely a fine wine. Not the grape part, but the part where you have to know what kind of wine to get. If you don't know or understand wine, you aren't going to be able to enjoy the wine. The way it looks, smells, tastes, etc. If you really wanted a man to be acceptable to have dinner with, why not try to understand him?


    I'm not just targeting women. I'm talking about both sexes. If you want a successful relationship, you better learn to understand the other person. You better know the person VERY WELL before even starting a relationship. I'm not talking about, "oh, we've been friends for 8 years." Yeah, well there are people who don't even know their own family whom they've lived with for 21 years. Time means nothing. You can know someone you've met 2 years ago better than a roommate you've lived with for 4 years.


    FOR EXAMPLE!! My best friends: Teddy, Ivo, Bobby, Xiao. I've known Bobby the longest (since 6th grade). Teddy and Ivo know me just as well as Bobby does and they've known me for much less time than that. Xiao knows me fairly well, but not as well as the other 3. Anyway.


    I just don't understand humans. I do, but I don't. I used to see people as God sees us. The way I see people now, it's just ugh. Am i perfect? HECK NO!! Far from it. Do I do things that piss people off? Occassionally, but that's cause of different reasons. Not the general things that just frustrate me. That probably makes no sense to people, but whatever. It makes sense to me, lol. I see people now and I'm just like....how could God love us so much? WHY does He love us so much? If I were God, I wouldn't even love myself. The stupid guy that picks from the bottom of the tree. When God is at the top of the tree crying out saying, I'M HERE!! The best fruit of them all. The sweetest. The best looking. The best tasting. The one that will satisfy ALL your needs. And yet, I still pick from the bottom of the tree. It's easier. It's closer. It may not be as good, but I'll never really know so it doesn't matter.


    Why is the truth so hard for us to see? Why can't we just accept the truth? Why is it so hard for us to pursue the truth? What's the point of a relationship anyway? What is truth? What's the point? Questions questions questions. A sea of questions...that 99% of people probably couldn't answer. Or even if they could, they'd be way off. Do I know the answers? Maybe yes maybe no. Doesn't matter if I know them. Do you? Have you ever thought about it? *sigh* I've said too much already and who knows how many people I've offended.


    This is probably why I don't have many friends, hahaha. Oh well. Having a large phone list or 8 million people on my buddy list are the last things I'm worried about. Am I grateful for the ones I do have? Of course, I wouldn't trade my friends for anyone else. I've lost a lot and gained a lot. A lot of what? Well, that's for me to know and only for me to know, lol. And God knows as well, hehe. He was the one that probably took away, but I'm not going to assume nor jump to that conclusion. What I've lost, I'm probably better off without. What I've gained, is priceless. Only because every good gift comes from above. Thank you Jesus.


    Well, now that I've pissed everyone off, I'm going to go to sleep, lol. G'night everyone. Have a long day ahead of me. I just pray God will help me get everything done and done correctly. *sigh* Why do I suck so much Lord? So pathetic. G'night all.

    have fun to whomever does this thing next, hehe. God bless!!


    the post beneath this one is also for monday. for anyone who wants to read everything, hehe. no pressure. lol. i started it sunday, but was busy helping out a friend so it drifted to monday morning, lol.

  • Wow, I haven't posted in about a month. Well, it's definitely not because I haven't had time, that's definitely not the case. It's just this past month has been like hell. I guess the only person to blame is myself though. I haven't been the way I should be. Definitely not the first time. The flesh is so weak all the time it's disgusting.


    A lot has happened this past month. Most of which I'm going to keep behind me, lol.


    So this past Friday, some of us went to sing karaoke. It was pretty fun. Teddy and I didn't hog the microphone as much, hehe. Teddy did a good job of doing that, I...well, I just suck at singing anyway and I was in the presence of artists, haha. *cough* Anna, Jennis, Lawrence, Dorothy, Teddy, Tom *cough cough* It was really nice seeing Anna, Jennis and Tom again. Haven't seen them in forever. The coolest thing that happened that night was I got to see Steve Che again. I haven't seen him since we all graduated high school, haha. He still looks the same. Same in the respect that it's how I remember him, hehe. It was cool getting to talk with him and seeing how he's been these past 5 - 6 years. Fun stuff, hehe.


    So this past month like I said has not been the best. Been struggling in my walk again...grr....that's the one thing I wish I was constant. I used to be. =( I just really needed some encouragement and I've been getting some from my friends, which is awesome, I thank them for that. But tonight was especially awesome. I got some awesome encouragement from my parents. It was almost like God was speaking through them. They aren't saved, but that doesn't mean God can't use them as well, hehe. Just the things they were talking to me about was just awesome, hehe.


    So many times we think that if something bad happens to us, that it really is a bad thing. Like an injustice has been done to us. I've definitely felt that way before. Like my last job, I was kind of bitter that I was let go. My boss just wouldn't listen to reason. Tonight I hear from my dad that he's not an easy person to work with and that it was probably worse for me being under him. I was like wow...I never thought of it that way. My parents were also telling me how people may see me as a threat. I'm sitting there like...what? Me? Threat? yeah right. Then they proceeded to tell me how I might seen that way. I was like...woah...I never thought of it that way either.


    And talk about encouragement...there are times where it seems like I've just been used just so someone else will look good. I'm all about helping people out and what not, but I hate being used. Big difference from being used by someone and someone sincerely asking for help with something even if it the outcome does make them look good. Up till recently, my family has always been asked to help out with the big Chinese events that go on. And when I became older, I was asked to MC many of the events and being pushed by my parents, I did well as an MC. Well, today is the Chinese Double Tenth celebration. They had the event for this past Friday, it's when they always have it. This year, they didn't ask me to MC, but they got someone else to do it. I heard that the MC wasn't very good this time. I didn't go so this is just what I've heard from people. I do know who the MC was cause my mom told me about the event, but I'm not going to say who it was cause that'd be gossip. =P Anyway, afterwards, there's a gentleman by the name of George. He's a very successful Japanese business man. He's always at these big events for the Chinese community and lots of people know who he is. I'm not sure if he's full Japanese or not, but that's not important. But my dad told me when I was talking to my parents, that George approached him and told him, "I miss your son". Talking about me. It took me a few minutes to remember who he was. But when I did finally remember, I was like...wow. It was not only amazing that he misses me as an MC, but that he remembers who I am. I met him at one of the very first events that I MC'd for and had seen him about 2 or 3 times after that at other events that I was at, not necessarily as MC. But that was such an encouragement to know that the work I had put in was really apprecciated by at least him. That was so cool to hear from my parents.


    Speaking of parents...I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Growing up, we "hate" our parents because we "have" to do things. When in fact, the reason our parents have us do things is because it's for our own good. It's for our future. But ever since I became Christian and my parents had gone through life with me and learning more about the culture of Americans, our relationship has gotten a lot better. They actually listen to my brothers and I now instead of always telling us what's right and wrong. They will listen to reason and things are just fun now. Of course we still have serious talks and stuff like tonight, but for the most part, it's fun. My mom said something about my brother that has stuck with her from the point he said it up till now. It was when he was back in like 6th grade or something. He said, "I'm the smallest guy in my class, but I'm the smartest". When my mom said that to me, I started laughing. Not because it was funny, but because I remember him saying that and the thing is...it was the truth at that point. There was a reason my mom told me that, but that's for me to know. =) It was a good night and it was fun. I watched "House of Fury" with my parents and one of my brothers. They liked the movie, it's a good one.


    Anyway, that's it for now. Please pray for me those of you who are Christian. I really need to find a job soon. Even though I dislike working in corporate America, I really do need a job. I dislike working for certain reasons that I'll post on some other time. I'd rather spend my time working on the Lord's work in full time ministry. Sad that I want to do that, but my experience isn't enough. <--the church didn't say that. God did. But more importantly, my relationship with God isn't the greatest. How am I supposed to communicate what God wants me to if my relationship, my foundation with Him isn't even planted firmly. *sigh* Anyway, pray for me all of you that do pray. Pray about what God wants you to pray about. Alright, good night all of you. Take care and God Bless.
