James Chen and hot dogs.....

DVBS was awesome today; we went to Lake Sikome and it was pretty fun....lots of memories. My favorite thing that happened today was when James said to me in a bragging voice "Oh Kingston...I don't have a hot dog today!" after he pulled out some cookies and waffers. He continued to pull out his lunch and there it was, two hot dogs for lunch!! Lol...he developed his pouty face and I said "I thought you didn't have any hot dogs today!" while I laughed at him haha. Poor kid. He gets hot dogs everyday and he hates getting them everyday lol. I found out something cool about his mom from Auntie Daisy today...apprently, over 10 years ago, his mom used to be a deacon at our church. Craziness!!! i hope James and all the other kids will be around for KFC and YAC. Man, I don't want to lose touch with these brats at all.... :) I have been loving this job more than any other job I've worked at. I can't beleive there are only 2 more weeks to go practially! Thanks for the memories folks!

Post Jesus Expo

Dang what great weather!! The forcasts called for rain but "who's bigger: God or rain?" Booooya....it was clear all day from rain, until the end of Jesus Expo. Clouds were rolling in when we were driving home and when it was all over though. God just reminds us how much He really is in control of everything and will make a way if we really want Him to.

Thanks to all those who helped out. I enjoyed making cotton candy and popcorn. Today was the first time I got to make cotton candy with the real machine (and not Sarah's kiddie one haha). I got to make popcorn today too and I burnt my knuckle...OUCH!!! Worship was good too....I managed to just block out all thoughts of fear and insecurities and just did my thing; I focused on just worshipping and praising. Man, I'm so awkward on stage sometimes haha...I just don't know what to do with myself, but thanks be to Jesus for leading through it all.

Thanks for all the people who showed up and visited! All in all, a great and fun day! Will there be Jesus Expo 2006 or 2007?!?! It's so much work!! Haha...only time will tell. :P

Stinky Farm

Today we went to Butterfield Acres and it was very tiring and long. Everyone underdressed as we thought it was going to be hot but the sun was barely out and we had to stay outside the whole day. Gotta love walking aimlessly and "killing time"...meanwhile, trying to avoid stepping on various animal droppings haha. Still, I had a blast with everyone. I can't beleive we're almost half done; I don't want it to be over simply because I love working with staff!

After work, I got to go all out and relax and read comics all night. My bro had the day off so he picked up my latest stash and I am finally up to date on my titles. I also picked up the "Sentinel" digests which collects all 12 issues of the series. Good read...not as good as Runaways or Young Avengers, but good enough...Kenric, I'll be lending this to you baby!! The series is restarting in November! I will probably collect this. Why am I reading Marvel's "teen books?" I have no idea what's up with me, but these new teen comics are fresh reads. All these new concepts with new characters within the Marvel Universe. Good stuffs; High recommendations ah!!

Jesus Expo!!!

Okay, I feel a lot better today...I know I'm getting better but this blasted cough keeps me up when I try to sleep. Sometimes, I wake up coughing like mad. :P

We went to Riley Park today for DVBS and I was worried that it would be too cold for the kids to go into the pool; thankfully, the weather was fine today. Thanks Jesus...I was a bit worried about it and You know it! :)

I can't believe Jesus Expo is on its way!! Yup, that's right, hope you all stop by Chinatown on Saturday as we'll have the whole street blocked off in front of my church for some good stuff. There will be a stage with music and stuff, free food, info booths, games, etc. After that, I think there will be a great time of worship after since we rented a stage and all. It all starts at 10am; hope to see you all there!!! (And keep praying for this event!)

The Sickness Rages On

Isn't it funny how when you're sick, they tell you you should drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest? Has anyone ever though, "but how can I sleep when I have to pee every 10 minutes?"....me and my small bladder... :P

I really tried sleeping in 'til 3pm today like I told everyone at Denny's last night but I couldn't. I got about 9 hours of sleep and I feel great, but I want to sleep more because I don't want to deal with coughing so much that I'm gagging and wanting to throw up everytime I cough. :P I have a meeting for "Kids Kraft Korner" for Jesus Expo today......maybe I can go and lie in bed before that meeting happens.

Something what I find really annoying is when a song is played on the radio lots but then a few months later, they don't play it at all. And then because of that, everyone forgets that song even exists. I feel like I cycle through songs hardcore; the cycle is so fast that I can't even remember all the songs that I like. Everytime I am doing my daily routines and such, a song will come to my head and I'll think "Oh YEAH, that song!!! I haven't heard that song in ages! I should go home and download it." Only besides that moment, I will never think of that song again. I have to make sure that when I remember a song, I write it down right away or I won't remember that that song exists for a long time...... :P Yup, I love my music....it makes the world go 'round...;P

What You Need to Know...

It's been awhile, but here I am updating.....I'm sick; I have lost most of my voice. I am hoping I'll get better soon or I'll have to bail on worship leading this Sunday. Let's pray I get better fast!

DVBS has been tiring this week and we only have 33 kids. We're expecting 42 kids for next week! What are we thinking?!?! Haha...I can't say no though... :P

Even though I'm sick, I just ate DQ Ice Cream Cake....yummy.....this is one of my favorite cakes....(I also love Chinese Sponge Cake with Fruit on top)!!!!

I have to plan tonight for my lesson tommorrow...dang!!! ideas, please come!!! :P

Oh, I also watched Fantastic Four yesterday and it was Fantastic...:P I don't see why it got such mediocure reviews as it was very decent. Good character developement...though a bit low on the action hahaha....:) Still, worth watching baby!!

Ok, time to get updated on everyone's blogs and then go plan for my lesson tommorrow. Good luck to my peeps in their soccer game tonight; sorry I can't be there to support! :)

Jon and Crys' new place......

Okay I'm tired; I should head off to bed. However, I still have some DVBS stuff to do. Today was a crazy day at DVBS and yet I survived. Lots of things were crazy haha. I knew if I wrote something about how good DVBS was doing, I would get a "bad day" afterwards haha. How ironic haha.

Today after DVBS, I went to Sushi Boat with Crys (her first time), and then we brought some dinner to Jonny and I got to see the showhome of what their new house would look like; guys I'm jelous....:P LOL...I can't wait to get a new place again haha. I know, I'm bad, I only moved into my new place a little over 1.5 years ago? and yet I want to move again. I can't wait 'til I can buy my own new place to live in....it's not for a long time, but I still can't wait. After the showhome closed, we just sat and talked in the showhome in the comfy office chairs in one of the offices for awhile and picked up slurpees haha. We always have good talks don't we?

Okay, off to finish my DVBS stuff and then I got to get some rest....:P Take it easy folks!

Want to Know More?

Only 3 days of DVBS has been completed and yet my body is so exhausted. Geo, you have a tough job, I know you're tired, but you seem more energetic than me at times hahaha....good job to you. Karen, you've been fun to work with so far; the 3 of us have been a good team so far. :)

My lessons went a lot better today than on Monday. There was a lot to talk about for us as a class as I was teaching on The Prodigal Son. We had a good discussion too and I got to take most of my kids outside. The younger ones got to watch videos when I got to watch them. :)

Running games these past few days, I've realize how much I've forgotten in quantities of circle games and quiet games. Amber from College Kids I remember, had a huge stack of index cards on a ring with all her games on them. They were colour coded to seperate icebreakers/circle and quiet/field games/etc. and I am starting to think I should do that haha.

So how is everyone doing spiritually? Physically? Emotionally? Mentally? Hahaha....I've been having a blast doing DVBS despite being physically tired. I love having all our volunteers around and having the privalege to work with my friends. It's not going to be like that forever, but just having a few years to do something like that is awesome; I'm very thankful. At the same time, I get to see some of the youth get involved in ministries and serve God with their own energies. It's amazing to see youth you want to pour into and see grow put their faith into action. On top of that, I get to help teach kids about God and I have bosses who aren't breathing down my neck while I work; there's a lot of freedom. It's about the same freedom that I had at College Kids but here at church, I trust my coworkers so much more with everything; we've got each other's backs. :) Lastly, being in the co-ordinator role has stretched me a bit because I hate doing administration and though it doesn't mean my skills in this area have increased to make this weakness into a strength, at least I faced something I'm weaker at doing and am getting through it thus far.

This is a busy time, but I keep reminding myself that this is one of the happiest summers of my life....because it is!!! I haven't looked forward to each day on my summer like this in awhile. What is this feeling?!?! OH YEAH, PEACE, that's what you feel like! Almost forgot.... :P

DVBS Kicks Off....

Man, it was definitely a learning experience with all the Kids in DVBS today. I had the older kids for most of the day and they were super good. However, they surprised me with their bible knowledge; they know a lot of stuff. They can put some of us to shame I'm sure. :P I underplanned the amount of activities my class had to do so I have learnt that I need to come up with more activities with the older kids since they whiz by them so fast.

The middle group of kids were very energetic and what you might consider "bad." Yet on the other hand, they were my favorite group because they were so enthusiastic for drama that I loved having them around. This class I didn't need to add anymore activities into the day with because they took up the whole time-- in fact we went overtime haha.

The youngest kids gave me such a headache, especially since Justin and Pierson have such a "toddler" mentality lol. Pierson has gotten better but it still doesn't help because at that age, the kids are so egocentric and in their "own little worlds" that my drama class DID NOT work with them quite so well. I had to pop a movie in lol.

All in all, a great day though. The structure of our program has added stability and less stress to the day. We were missing 5 kids today but yet it seemed like we had so many kids lol. Thanks to all the leaders today; you did great!! Tommorrow is day 2 of 29 hahaha....:P

Pass the Mosquitoes Please?..but Hold the West Nile...:P

I think I've smelt like Bug Repellant pretty often in the past week or so. I love the fact that we're enjoying the weather and playing some sports and getting a little active, but I really hate the mosquitoes so much......Is it worth putting on bug spray; I get bitten regardless haha. I've recieved at least 1 bite everyday I've been out in the last week, whether I've had the spray on or not. Well, really, the bug spray does help because there aren't swarms of bugs flying over our heads as much, but I hate the smell of it. I hate feeling like you have to take a shower lol.

Lindsay Park was fun last night; I love playing in the water, even though I can't swim. Hot Tubbing was fun and so was diving off the diving board haha. I enjoyed playing some badminton too....I love raquet sports lol. Kickball was pretty fun today too. I was really into it and I just love our youth. I am glad Stef and AJ are here for the summer. I hope they have tons of fun while they're here and I don't know, something tells me they'll have a pretty good impact on our youth so I am praying for that. Here's to expecting the things that are meant to happen than to whatelse but to surely come to pass.....there's a bigger picture in mind...may it be executed by His will.....:) Amen.
