Find my Peace

Hey, I had a chance to sample portions of the new tracks from the forthcoming United CD: United We Stand. Sounds good so far but I really can't tell by hearing only 30 second clips of the songs. It's coming out in March/April. I hope it's as good or better than its predecessor. If you're interested, you can go listen to them clips at Hillsong's website. :)

What's been on my mind lately? Hmmm....I've actually been experiencing peace when analyziing my life and how its been going lately. Every so often, I try to search for things wrong in my spiritual walk...I just don't want to deceive myself; I want to stay in tuned with how things are actually going in my life. So many times, we hear lies either from ourselves or from others and we can start beleiving them.....every once in awhile, it's good to just do those checks to see how things really are. But like I said, things are going pretty good lately.....relationships are in check...school, I'm trying to enjoy more rather than "just get through it all"...spiritually, I think it's been good...going up rather than down. Still, today, things have been catching up to me and what some ppl have said to me have started dwelling in my thoughts. I try to not let people's stupidity phase me, but what do you do when people do/say the dumbest things and they don't realize how idiodic they present themselves? It's not to say every little thing bothers me, beucase it doesn't. However, when people are being rude to you so many times in so many different scenarios, it's bound to phase me. I'm so tempted to just snap at these peeps....*Sigh*.."No temptation seizes a man that he can't overcome. Who am I to be fallen?" --1 Corinthians 13:1 and Jennifer Knapp respectively

"Hallelujah, Banana Bread, all our Problems are Solved!!!"

Do you remember that quote from the Simpsons?!?! LOL...I bring up the quote because guess what I'm making?! Yup, I decided to head to Superstore and buy all these baking supplies (bowls, spatulas, whisk, measuring cup, measuring spoons, flour, sugar, baking powder, nuts, oven mitts), all because I didn't want to waste the excess bananas I had from running Bananarama for YAC and as part of my Math presentation at school. That's right, I'm that stubborn that instead of letting cheap bananas go to waste, I'd go out and spend more money just to make sure the fruits don't get tossed out!!! :) Now keep in mind, I've never made Banana Bread before and I haven't really baked since Jr. High in Foods Class. At least I can make a second batch to redeem myself if this first one doesn't turn out right. :P I'll let you know how it goes, if you ask nicely.... :)

*UPDATE*

Hey, it's 11:05pm, and I just wanted to let you know it turned out pretty good! I made Walnut Banana Bread and it was pretty easy! I'm making a second loaf as we speak. This time, I added some more Baking Powder so let's see if it rises more! :) Yeah baby, anyone know any other easy recipes I can try out?!? :)

Hallelujah!!!

I've looked over my blog cycle for the past little while and it seemes like I never blog on Wednesdays! I wasn't going to blog today, but to break this cycle...well here we are!!! :)

I'm so full of energy right now and I can't tell you why honestly. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster all day. I was alright this morning but by the end of the day, I was so drained....all week my classmates have noticed how tired I have been and how less talkative I've been....lol...I think the tiredness is catching up with me!! :) Maybe why I'm so happy all of a sudden is the realization that the tasks I were to complete this week are almost done. I have finished my 3 hour presentation and all my readings and writings for the week and I'm almost done teaching for the week. I was all nervous about teaching Math today and you know what? My teacher split my lesson up: half taught today and half tommorrow. This way, the students could complete some of the assignments they were working on earlier and do their corrections in their workbook! Talk about prolonging the pain for me!!! :) Things went well today with the lesson though and it came naturally and my partner teacher didn't have to step in and take over due to my incompetence!!! :) Praise God!!! :)

Series of Unfortunate Events

Yesterday, I forgot to blog about how I ran into David Yang on my bus when I was taking it home from school. He was going to go watch a movie at Crowfoot and I sat behind him. Now who was sitting in front of him? This high school couple who was being too affectionate on the bus and it was awkward. Here we have a youth, who I've been trying to teach about purity too and about taking it slow in a relationship and right in front of him, there's a couple doing the complete opposite of what I've been teaching...and worst of all, he has to see it right in front of his YAC leader...I don't know why but this was AWKWARD on so many levels! :P

Today, I had to go poo while at the Uni during the morning so I chose a washroom in Science B and it was one of those "hole in wall washrooms"--small bathroom with one stall. The trouble with those types of washrooms is that you can totally hear what's going in them if you walk past them and when I was walking to this washroom, there were two girls standing RIGHT in front of the door to get in there. I made my through them to get to the washrooms and then I thought, "why in the world would those two girls be standing in front of the washroom?" Obviously they weren't waiting for anyone because I was using it and it only has one stall. Did they always loiter around men's washrooms? Do they like the smell of them or something? It was kind of funny becuase there were some loud noises coming out of that washroom and I thought, "is that what those girls wanted to hear?" Sheesh...can I get some privacy please?! I don't understand women!!! :)

Today was my visit to Olympic Heights and let me tell you this school was AMAZING! I got to meet so many of the teachers and had free time to roam each teacher's class and see what they were doing...they were all so welcoming! I thought my school was pretty Inquiry based but man, Olympic Heights is completely Inquiry and they have implemented Reggio types of methods into their school as well. (Reggio originated out of Italy and is a HUGE success in their early elementary school programs....for more info on this teaching method, the Jubilee has an Exhibit so go check it out!). I could see myself at this school working full-time (God willing), and I would have a blast!!!

Oh yeah, I got to see Pierson while he was practicing some Math equations haha. LOL...that kid is very unlucky...must be in one of the only classes which doesn't have a window...if you are reading this and think, "Big Deal, who needs a window?!" It's a BIG DEAL to A TEACHER!!!! Yeah, I know, we're lame!!! :)

Another day, another week.....

Well Hello there everyone in Blogginvile,

Today, I've been really tired....my eyes have been having problems focusing on the Computer screen all day. All I see is bluriness hahaha....I hate that feeling...:) Oh what a crying shame!!! :)

My presentation today--which was suppose to go for 1.5 hours--ended up going almost he whole class! The feedback I received from my prof and my classmates was very encouraging so thanks everyone for helping things go so smoothly!

Tommorrow, I'm headed to Olympic Heights for the day and hopefully, I'll get to say "Hi" to Pierson. It's great that my prof is taking us on a field trip haha.....it just reduces our workload and I'm thankful for that! :)

Still, got lots of work to do this week and I really hope my lesson goes well with Math on Wednesday...we'll see. My partner teach has this thing where she expects stuff but isn't very clear about what she wants...and then she intervenes during a student teacher's teachings when she wants things done a different way. Great communication there eh?! :) She hasn't done that to me yet, but she has to the other student teacher who worked with her....maybe I won't get the same treatment and I'm just being paranoid lol...

24 today was good....It's killing me to watch this season episode by episode; I'm totally diggin' it! At least there are no repeat episodes in between and it's just a new episode every week haha. Is everyone who's watching this season HOOKED in?!?! I LOVE 24 BABY!!!! :)

Well, I should head off to bed now since I'm so tired. BTW, if you were wondering who my favorite female artist is in Christian Music, for those who guessed Stacie Orrico....you're wrong! For those of you who guessed, Plumb or Rebecca St. James...you're also wrong haha. My favorite chick is definitely Jennifer Knapp...with Sarah Groves in a close second. These two gals just write brilliant music and they write their own songs and the depths of their lyrics are fabulously superb! Good stuff!! If you haven't listened to any of their music, you don't know what you're missin! :) That's all for today, PAYCE!

BesT EveR?

Haha, I don't know why this came into mind--as it happened SO LONG ago--but I distinctly remember talking to Jen Bong on MSN and she was telling me how she doesn't like very many female Christian artists. Hmmmm...I kind of agreed with her, but I think there are actually a few really good female Christian singers....just not as many as there are males!! :P So then I started thinking, who is MY favorite female artist of all time in Christian music? Yeah, yeah, everyone knows I love Kutless and United as my favorite bands of Christian and Worship music respectively, but who knows which gal gets the prize for being my favoritist of all?!?! Here's a list of potentials to which ONE answer is the correct one! :)

a) Rachel Lampa
b) Joy Williams
c) Stacie Orrico
d) Plumb
e) Jennifer Knapp
f) Sara Groves

Do you know which one it is? I like all of the above...but there is only one answer...And oh yeah, don't be surprised to see that Sarah Kelly isn't up there...I don't mind her, but she's no where near being my favorite. I still don't get how you all find "Take Me Away" so annoying. You're all MAD I tellz ya!!!

As of Sunday, I Wanna Wish You a.......

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the Dog and that's me baby...not that I beleive in any luck or anything but I'll take anything to give me special recognition!!! :) My school has gone all out with Chinese New Year...all the classes are making stuff for Chinese New Year. My class did some Chinese Masks, another class did some Chinese Lanterns and another class made Chinese Dragons by cutting them with exactoknives (they look like they were made like how people make snowflakes by folding and cutting......but I doubt they just used ordinary scissors)! Heck, at Hawkwood School, they're even having a Chinese New Year Assembly tommorrow! Pretty Crazy there eh!? :) I don't necessarily like everything they do and I don't say it to suck up, but my shcool does some of the best things and this is just one reason why....I seriously wouldn't mind teaching at a school like Hawkwood--I would be so lucky! Rich school. Parents gallore. Specialty teachers who take the kids for music, gym, french...great time to do lessons with your partner team teacher! :P I don't know...wherever God places me...if I can make it through 7 more weeks of practicum....please God help me!!!! :)

We had a guest speaker today for our late staff meeting (from 3:30-5pm), and she was promoting a book called "Tounge Fu." Apparently, there are a list of words people aren't suppose to say such as "should" (i.e. "you shouldn't...") or "problem" or "but" because there are negative consequences in a conversation when these words are spoken. Kind of an interesting "non-Christian sermon." The main idea is that words have power.....so choose them wisely. I really feel like this how speech was something I could've heard in church...all it needed was a few bible verses....:P

What a busy week...I know I said last week in YAC that as a teacher, you really have to learn how to wing things...I'm really going to rely on doing that for tommorrow's YAC event, Sunday's JC/Sunday School, Monday's class presentation and my first Math lesson I'm teaching on Wednesday..pray for me...pray for Mojo.... :)

Okay, I won't reveal any names or anything but minor SPOILER ALERT for Smallville this week...it was actually a DECENT episode this season....it was advertised that "someone close to Clark dies!!!" all week...decent episode all throughout..nice ending.....I'm sure next week will suck though, but we'll see!!! :)

Oh and for those who were wondering....What Calvin, David, Priscilla and I have in common is that we all have the same cell phone...Samsung A670!!!! :)

Education Rants

Here's a question: Calvin Ho. David Yang. Priscilla Banh. Kingston Wong. What do we all have in common (besides being Chinese Christians who live in Calgary and attend the same church)?!? :P Any guesses?

I am so tired today. Arg...I am finding that I can sleep through my alarm clock now...I thought I would never get used to "the sounds" but looks like I have. :P I keep waking up an hour later than I'm suppose to. Luckily, I haven't had too many problems with that on practicum days since my bro wake me up if I'm not ready to go. Should I implement a series of clocks in waking me up now?! :)

Classes really seemed to drag out in a long way this week. Oh well, I hope practicum will be better....I just can't stand it sometimes...this whole atmosphere....I was asked to hang out with one of my friends for lunch in the Education building but I said I felt like being antisocial today and headed to Machall (I had to heat up my lunch...I even went to Scurfield to look for a Microwave....no success...who told me they had one there?!?!). Lol...it's all good, I had to meet up with my classmate an hour later or so after anyways to plan a presentation for next Monday. Which is what I knew would happen...which is why I didn't commit to going to 24-7 prayer during the afternoon. We ended up meeting until 2pm. Arg, the presentation that was done today was so long, but they did an AMAZING job...best presentation I've seen ever in Education so far. How am I going to top this!??! The pressure!!! :P

I Guess it Just Wasn't Meant to be....

Some of you are aware that yesterday, I was looking for a Batman figure at Wal-Mart but what I came out of the store with were some figures of Bane and Killer Croc. Also, I was about to buy Soul Calibur 2 for the Cube becuase it was so cheap but since the line up was so long, I thought I'd just visit another Wal-Mart and pick it up later. However, this morning, although I had the intention of going to lecture, I missed the bus so I skipped lecture altogether and took the bus to Northland. I went to check out the toy section, but their toy section seemed like it had been raped--it was so empty of ANYTHING. It was as if there were a boxing day sale or something!! :P Also, I went to look for my game, but they had none. I don't think I wanted the game that badly at first but since I've been having such a hard time searching for it, my desires for owning this game has increased quite exponentially!! :) I left the mall empty handed this morning.

Worship at the U was cool today becuase we had the violinist again and man, "God of Wonders" sounded so awesome with it...we gotta try that when we get Jiffany to play for us on the team! :) The only thing that was really annoying about Worship at the U today was that there were these two guys sitting behind me sining SO LOUD....one of them was asian too. ARG...Okay, I got it: harmony sounds great guys but can you turn the volume down a bit?! Jeez, I'm trying to worship! :P

I heard that the Green Party didn't have enough money during this election and that the PC party actually gave the Green Party some money to help fund them! That's freakin' sweet!!! :) I voted today...did anyone else vote!? Huh?! Didja, didja!?!?

Revelations

I've come to the realization today that although Field trips are SUPER fun for children, they are EXTREMELY tiring for teachers!!! We went to the EPCOR Centre downtown today so that our students could practice some art skills in print making. Also, they got to take part in a mock Acadian Kitchen Party and so we practice the dances and played some of the instruments. What a great day that went by really fast...but like I said, super DRAINING. No Recess. No Lunch Breaks. Just sitting with the students for hours and hours. Oh...and in case you're wondering if I danced or not...well I practiced a bit but my partner teacher assigned me the role of taking pictures so I got out of doing most of the dancing...haha...suckers!!! :) I got to participate in some of it, and it was fun...I feel I'm more in touch with my Acadian side!! :) Oh wait, I'm full Chinese....SCORE!!!! :)

Longing....

Doesn't that picture just capture your imagination? Silver Surfer was one of my favorite childhood super heroes. Did you know I used to long for adventure? Thrills, Chills and Spills--you name it--I wanted it!!! I once longed to see the Stars...to travel the seas....to see the world. What's happened?!?! Am I doomed to the boering mundane life that bestows so many of us?

I think sometimes I'm envious of everyone for at least one quality or pocession that they have that I don't.....it's not that big of a struggle really...I wish I could say that was my biggest confession of my most darkest sin ever, but it's not! :) Still, sometimes, this song serves as a reminder to desires I have which seem like is a necessity to fullfill, but really isn't......

Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)
By Barlow Girl - feat. Todd Agnew

I've had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
Somehow believing that they have what I need

[Chorus]
My God's enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I've seen
My God's enough, enough for me

I can't explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better than I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything

Who have I in heaven but You
Nothing I desire but You
My heart may fail but not You
You are mine forever

DAH!..Idiot!!!

Okay, I was told last week that there wasn't going to be a lecture today, so why did I show up?!?! ARG!! What is more agitating: having to go to a class you hate or going to a class that you hate that has been cancelled?!?! :P

Horrible or Better Than Ever?!?!

As of February, this will be Spider-Man's new costume. Hate it or love it?

Baby, I'm back!!!! :)

Hello Blogging World!

I know it's been a few days since I blogged or checked anyone's journals, but I've been busy.

On my first day back at Hawkwood, my partner teacher got me and her team teacher's student teacher Alexis to plan a drama activity for the children. Now, these teachers want us to run a drama cirriculum for the next 5 or 6 weeks....um..I thought we were in first year and not second year! We're only required to do one weeks worth of cirriculum teaching in one subject area....so why dumpiing all this work on us? Are these teachers lazy? Well, I know I am and I hate doing more work than I have to but our partner teachers told us that we should practice teaching a lesson here and there to get a better feel of things. I hate doing more work, but I think I would agree with them. Alexis' and my partner teachers are very nurturing; they don't leave us out in the cold but it's as if we all team teach things together so it's a great learning experience. :)

I've been busy thinking of YAC stuff and planning...I got things to do for the next few weeks to come and it certainly does add up with all the stuff my stupid Prof pies up on me to do...speaking of which, she is really pissing me off these days...I complain about her with all my classmates and even to my partner teacher who has had to work in the same school as her lol...I even complain to year 2 students! :) Hmmmm....I know it's a lot of people to complain to, but she's THAT overbearing!! She cornered me at Hawkwood this week and I'll never forget how she got me alone that way...it was terrible!!! The things she said, they just weren't true!!!! :P

I'm almost halfway done watching season 1 of 24. I think because Sam finished watching it, it motivated me to start lol. It's so exciting as you can't stop watching anytime.....the action just carries over and you don't know what the heck is going on!! With Lost, they're more self contained episodes and you can stop...the action is more slow paced and everything is more dramatic so stopping isn't an issue. 24, I have no control with!

Speaking of 24, 4 hour season premiere this week--2 hours on Sunday and 2 hours on Monday. Speaking of 24, I have to go watch that now and watch as many episodes as I can before YAC starts tonight....:P

Blue Ray or HD?!!? Which Way to Go?

Today, I taught my classmates how to play Dutch Blitz. Although they didn't get to play more than one round, they all seemed pretty addicted to it and there was talk of me bringing it back so we could play during our lunch breaks. LOL...that'd be hilarious if we played that game at school!!

On another note, I heard about something on Shine regarding new DVD Players coming out this year. Apparently, there are new High Definition DVD Players which will be released soon; a player that utilizes blue light wavelengths rather than the current red light. Because of this, these DVDs will be able to hold more on them as The Blue Light will be able to read a more finer part of the disk!!! :P (I think these new discs can hold around 20 gigs?!! CRAZY!!!) Anyways, this all sounds great except:

1) There are currently two different types of models these new DVD players will be in and manufacturers currently cannot agree to one type...so these two types of DVD players will be in competition.....One is the Blue Ray, the other is HD. Okay, so this sucks because I don't know who to support. Like in the olden days when Bata and VHS first came out, they competed and Bata lost. So what's going to happen with these new DVD players? What if I buy the product of the losing technology? That would suck! Why can't these manufacturers just agree to one type of model?!?! DAHHH!!!! Hmmm...poles as of last summer showed that consumers were more in support of the Blue Ray...hmmmm....what to do, what to do?!

2)I bought all these DVD boxed sets of shows that I watch thinking "yeah, they'll last me forever and I'll never have to buy them again!" Well, what if they offer the same DVDs in higher definition too?!?! That would suck!!! What would I do with my old DVDs? Would I get rid of them and get the higher definition DVDs of my shows or would I even buy the newer versions of the DVDs?!?!

Decisions, decisions!!! :P I never thought they'd come up with another scheme like this to get my money....dang you DVD manufacturers!!

The Dreaded Interview part 3-- The ORIGINAL MIX + Education: Am I enjoying it?!?!

Today, I ate lunch with some of my friends from Case and one friend is helping two others lose 30 pounds. The one helping is a personal trainer and has had some personal successes with others in the past. She's going to be a gym teacher and has a degree in Kenisiology. Lol, she asked my other two friends about their diets and she is totally making them change their lifestyle. I hope they can uphold this. Losing it won't be the hardest part but what will is maintaining the loss. My friend really opened my eyes as to some of the truths on foods. Apparently my trainer friend said that ketchup is one of the worst things in the world. It's actually healthier to eat chocolate than ketchup because ketchup is made up of rotten tomatoes + sugar + preservatives gallore!!! :) Also, it's bad to eat canned soups....they're high in potassium and sodium. It takes our bodies days sometimes to expunge these bad things out of our body while it only takes what, 5 min to finish something like that? :P *Sigh...good luck to my buddies!

On another note, school started today and I dread it. This sucks....I always have thoughts of "oh man, I wanna quit this program so bad" when I'm in class...this program is terrible....can I make it through?!?! Can I?!?!?! I feel as miserable as Cyclops below..... :(





We've had questions from Alicia and qustions for Geo...now, here are the questions coutesy of Crystal....

1. If you could have the mutant powers of any marvel character for a week what would it be? and what would you do with your new found powers? to do good or cause havoc?

Telekenisis forsure.....who wouldn't love to levitate him/herself and move objects with his/her mind? I'd try to do good with them because every boy wants to be that superhero deep down inside. Although, if you get me angry, don't cross me, or I may lash back at you and who knows when I'd throw your body or what objects I'd throw in your way in the heat of the moment! :P



Also, I'd be sexy like Jean Grey..no wait, sexier!! :)

2. If you could only have one of the five senses for a week which one would you choose to have and why? (see, hear, taste, touch or smell)

Wait does this mean I've never had ANY senses to begin with and I'd only have 1 sense for one week or does this mean I have all the senses but am reduced to 1 for only one week and I get the rest back after? My answer would be different depending on the circumstance. In the earlier scenario, I'd have to pick taste because I could not live without tasting good food for once in my life. In the latter case, I'd pick sight, becuase I wouldn't want to be blind even for a week! I could go without taste for a week but darkness is scary! :P If I never had sight, then I wouldn't be afraid of losing it! :P

3. How and where do you see yourself in 10 years? your place of residence? friends? family? relationship? (ha this is a long one)

I see myself married (hopefully by 33 I would be!!)...I'd also see myself starting fatherhood and secure and steady in a job. I'd like to think I'd still be in Calgary. My closest friends I'd like to think are my brothers and sisters at the church I'd be attending....there's just something different Christians can offer that non-Christians can't. Hopefully many of my friends--whether Christian or non--will be the ones I grew up with. I think we've all worked hard in preserving our friendship with each other. I'd hope that many of the youth in YAC now who become adults would have a strong relationship with me still at this point too. Hopefully my bros will be around in the same city as me as well as my retired parents! :)

4. As you grow older, is there any event in your life that you are dreading? (death of friends, marriage, finding a career...)

Practically all of these I dread in a way because they are scary to think of...but at the same time, that kind of scariness excites me. I think seeing the death of my aging loved ones (particularly the parents or even my wife if she died before me), would scare me the most though. There's no adrenaline rush there for me...just pure sadness.

5. If you could ask God one question and he would answer it until you were totally satisfied what would it be and why?

I'd ask Him "God, who am I to you?" I read somewhere that we all have an identity in Christ and that the Father has a name for us that could be different from our Earthly name. God renamed people in the bible (eg. Abraham, Peter, Paul, etc.)...I'd ask God who I was becuase knowing my identity in Him would break the hold of many of my insecurities. Think about it...if I ever faced problems or became afraid, I'd just remember who God said I was. If he called me "conquorer"...I'd move forward with no doubts!!!!

23 and loving it?!

Who's that guy above?!?!

Thanks to everyone who spent time with me and wished me well for my 23rd B-day. It's true, everything is more special when you share it with those you care about. The best gifts come from those who mean the most to me....whether time or material! :) Thanks all for the gifts, the calls, the blog comments, etc.!!! I may not fully embrace aging, but I hope with being a year older, I can become wiser and make good decisions in all areas of my life!

Thanks to my parents for the cash...my dad and "step-mom" for the card and the call.....Thanks to my bros who took me out to The Outback for Ribeye! :) It was awesome!!

Man, school starts tommorrow...what a crappy ending to a great birthday! :(

Just 2 questions lingering in my mind right now and I'll leave them to you now in closing:

1) Is it really that funny how boys can spend so much time playing video games?

2) Now that we've seen how much Milty sweats, does he take the prize for being "the sweat king"....knocking Geo to being # 2?!?

Coming soon...the answers to Crystal's interview questions.... :)

Another 8 hours out the window......

I was pondering who the above X3 character was for over a month.....well..today I figured out her identity...do you know who it is? :P

I've DONE it; I've finally finished watching Firefly and it's movie counterpart Serenity. Man, it only took 8-9 hours of my day to finish the last two discs and the movie!! :) Time really flies by! With that out of the way, I can finally concentrate on watching 24....I have 2.5 seasons to finish watching!! I doubt I'll get them finished by the time season 5 begins!! :)

Not much else has been up with me...I've just been watching lots of TV...oh and I played squash yesterday with Jon Wong. I can't figure out why but it seems like there is a lot not right between some ppl in my life and I. For starters, my mother is one of them. I think since Christmas, I just haven't had much contact with her and then there's "Sven" who keeps being brought up...she wanted me to compromise and participate in his family meals with her and that to me is unacceptable. Sorry, but in my mind, if my mother wants to spend Christmas with them...well she's made her choice but she doesn't have to shove that down my throat. Why would I go to something where no one talks to me? If I want to be neglected, there's plenty of places I can think of going for that. :P Even since then, it just hasn't been the same. Oh well, what can you do? *Sigh*...the joys of a broken family. :)

I'm excited for this weekend not because it's my birthday necessarily but because of the company I am going to have over the weekend. Yes!! A presence from Lethbridge...SCORE!! :P Looking forward to spending some time with the Lethbridger and with the family over this weekend....that just means more eating and gaining more pounds! :)

The Dreaded Interview part II

Geo's questions:

1. If you were capable of suddenly learning everything you need to become anything you want (occupatioin-wise), what would it be? and why?

I think a Scientist or a Doctor. The world will always need more of these two types of people. Scientists are great because they work so hard to improve the quality of life for humankind and a Doctor would be a great help if situated in a third world country or in a place that was struck by a natural disaster. Plus, don't you hate how doctors are so busy when you want to go see one? We need more of them! :)

2. Which reality-show would you most likely want to participate in? and why? and would you win? and if it was a reality-show where you would have a partner/team, who would you choose?

I'd do Amazing Race or Survivor. Both are great tests for myself to see if I have what it takes to get the tasks accomplshed. I might make it far in Survivor, but I don't know if I'd win. I think I can fly under the radar and I know when to make the right alliance with the right people. For Amazing Race, I'd take my bros becuase if I took a friend and they screwed up and cost me the race, I wouldn't be able to blow up at them like I could with the family! :)

3. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be? and why?

Tough Question....There are so many places I really want to go....I'd have to say a China because my heritage is linked to that country. It just makes sense! :)

4. If you could spend one day with anybody (alive or dead), who would it be? and why?

Sounds cheesy, but I'd really like to meet Jesus as a human being. We can read about someone all we want but does that mean we really know Him as He was then? What was it like to dine with him? To be taught by Him? To have an intimate chat with? I know He's the same person yesterday, today and tommorrow, but it'd be neat to see Him as a human.

5. What event/person was the most influential on how you are as a person now?

Again, it sounds cliche, but Jesus. Without Him, I'd have no peace; I wouldn't be able to like what I saw when I looked in the mirror. He really has changed me more than anyone ever could.

And there you go...anybody else got questions? :P

My Brain is Fried

I need to get back to my proper schedule...I haven't recovered from all the hang outs and the sitting around and do nothing. For example, yesterday, we sat and watched about 14 episodes of "Lost" yesterday.....and I still haven't recovered from being a Couch Potato yet. I feel sick and lathargic!!! :)

New Years Eve, we hung out at my place and I ate too many snacks! Thanks especially to Sarah for her delicious Cupcakes which spelled out "Happy Birthday Kingston" and Jacklyn's awesome brownies!! I am a big fan of anyone who knows not only how to bake, but to bake well!!! Anyone can try and make something but to make it a successful treat for everyone to really enjoy, that's another story!!! :)

By the way, you're invited to a wedding; here's the invitation:




I wasn't really shocked that they were going to marry these two when I heard a wedding was in the works for Marvel Comics this year. However, when I started thinking about it, I thought, "REALLY?" Black Panther and Storm? Hmmm....Storm should really have been married to someone else lol....why not the guy below? Heh heh...:)




It must be a "race thing." Just 'cause Storm and Black Panther are both African, it doesn't mean they have to be married to each other!! :P
