Cleaning Up Da House

Okay, see, even though my knee is sprained, I managed to do some cleaning in my house today. My duties usually include dusting, garbage, floor mopping, and washrooms. Does anyone have any tricks they'd like to share on how to get rid of mildew or soap scum or whatever it is that collects around the fosset handles? I find that using Mr. Clean and letting it sit on the scum for 10-15 minutes....and then using a toothbrush to scrub off the scum is a good technique. However, it doesn't get rid of ALL of the stains....my upstairs washroom seems to require more effor to get rid of these stains probably because we use that washroom more, therefore equating to more stubborn stains.

A peeve I have about cleanliness is I hate it when there are water/soap/whatever stains on the mirrors in my washroom. I mean we all do it in my household, but most of us have the consideration to whipe it off the mirror after we've splashed it. I have one brother who covers the whole freaking mirror with stains within 1 day and he never whipes it....when I look into a mirror, I want to see my reflection...not splotches of soap/water/whatever!!! Haha.....it's annoying; it's a peeve...:P

Alison Springer was a guest speaker at YAC last night and she is so funny! She totally got the kids interacting during her sermon and she really spoke to them. We asked her to preach on purity, but she felt Holy Spirit leading her another directio....it defintely was for the better. Thank You Jesus...just continue to challenge the youth and make yourself more real to them....empower them Holy Spirit to do Your work with the love of the Father....Amen.

Foolish!!!

Jealous Kind
By Jars of Clay

I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
Sought the company of fools instead of friends

[chorus]
You know I've been unfaithful
Lovers in lines
While you're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind
I chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
Hanging ropes will never keep you
And your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind

Trying to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading
For solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar
Than to be broken by a lover I don't understand
'Cause I don't understand

One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
And love that shames the wise, betrays the heart's deceit and lies
And breaks the back of foolish pride


I love this song so much. Sometimes we only see Jesus as this peaceful guy with arms wide open and that's the only side we see of Him; we fail to see the other side. God is also our Jealous Lover...He yearns to be worshipped and adored.....man so humbling to think about...what are we placing before Him? Time to reach out to Him yet again.....

Mocking: Memories Pt.3?

See Geo, I don't have to update everyday, I missed yesterday! :P I'm not THAT addicted to blogging am I? Haha....

Another one of my most significant memories of Uni is the people that I found I could mock/immitate. The worst is, a lot of people I met, I could mock based on one experience with them. They could say only one thing and if I overheared it, I could use it against them aha. The worst is for profs...Alicia and I were able to do impressions of them but there were even profs who we could make fun of by only sitting in one lecture with them. LOL...we'd switch out of the class...only one lecture would provided more than enough material for us to mock a prof that could last us a lifetime!! There are just too many people to list, but here are some examples:

"Canada and Russia are similar not so much!" - Sleazak
"Many people who come into my class and know of Christianity are very cocky" - Tuzlak
"Make LOVE not WAR man!!!" -Anne White
"I give her 2.2...I cannot stand her accent!" Dick
"Well actually southeast asian....asian implies India as well!" "Emma" aka Sue Chen
"What's the difference between roasted pork and roasted pig?" Unrevealed (I won't say publically on the internet who this is, as I may offend this person for revealing his/her personal identity)

Well there's some examples....they may not be funny to those reading, but to those who have heard these being said know EXACTLY how funny it is to have heard them...and to immitate them. There are some immitations that involve body movements and accents and even spitting, so it's hard to put a proper explanation on the internet haha...

@ Sam and Sarah's + Memories Pt. 2....

I'm at Sarah's and Sam's right now.....we're just hanging out. We went out for dinner at Joey's and we played squash today; I sprained my knee during squash. This sucks, I've never gotten injured playing squash...what a load of crap arg!!

So for second memory....hmm...do you guys remember in my second year how Grace and I had that fight where we weren't talking to each other? That was bad hahah......I remember that I had some people in my corner talking to me and trying to calm me down and she had the same with some other people. Kind of got me mad that certain people interfered because THAT's NOT COOL. You can tell who has loyalties with who in those situations......looking back, I wish no one was there....I guess Grace and I were quite immature then...a lot has changed...not necessarily my maturity level lol, but no, I've grown up in a lot of ways. It just goes to show that relationships are NOT good when you're not ready for them; timing is everything. Still, God is teaching me about what the meaning of that "L" word actually means....it's more than an emotion, it's a commitment. And man, I think I'm starting to feel that I can be that committed kind of guy for her....SCARY!!!! :P

Memories

Now that was a brutal test today, but what a way to finish!

I can't believe I'm done; I'm graduating from Econ!!

Hey what's everyone's most memorable moments while being in Uni?

I can't think right now...really..and there isn't anything really SHOCKING that has happened really in my Uni career that I can think of off the top of my head.....I think I'll have to do this in segments....so for my first segment, for one memory, from year 1 here it is:

- Alicia and I were checking our exam mark for computer science 231 and we were both really cheerful that day...only when we checked our marks out, we both got the same mark: D+.....Alicia dropped to the floor backwards..(like a fake faint) and she covered her face and said something like "oh my gosh! I can't believe it!" It was funny because we were in the Math Science building and here Alicia was, just lying on the floor! She didn't care if it was dirty or not....must be a non-asian thing hahaha......it was a strange site hahaha!

See nothing spectacular...but still memorable...does anyone have any cool memories from Uni??

Unintellegent Questions....

Okay, I need to get down to it and study for my last final today...it's at 3:30pm.
I've been getting (and still getting) emails from fellow classmates asking "what's going to be on the test?" because they didn't show up for any lectures at all. My favorite email was the one I got this morning:

Hi guys,
do we have to go over the course notes for the final? What about the textbook?
Thanks, just eager to do well on exam
Cheers

Now after reading the above email, you realize how unintellegent some people truly are. Should I reply to this email and say (*sarcasm alert*) "Well no you don't need to read the textbook OR the notes. The test won't be covering ANY of the material we spent covering in the last 13 weeks." I mean What am I SUPPOSE to say?!!?! What a dumb question! And the person had the balls to say that he/she wants to do well on the exam! Well show up for class buddy, or at least, if you're going to skip, make sure you befriend some lacky who will show up to class for you and take those notes!! :)
Good luck everyone on your exam (yes even my classmates who send rediculous emails)....keep working hard, we're almost done!!

King

**UPDATE**

I got this email at 1:36pm:

whats on the final exam? gotta start studying soon and need to know what the exam is
on

its just the stuff from the last midterm forward right?


:P:P

The final is in 1.5 hours...and you're only asking now? STOP flooding me with emails of what's on the final!!! DAHHHH!!!!!!

Distracting Lights....

Ok I'm pissed, I updated the blog but it didn't upload and I lost all my text...so here I am writing again.

I was so tired from hanging out at Jackson's last nite....had my Glgy exam at 8am today after all. I was not only tired, but the chandeler was hanging behind my seat so my shadow partially covered my desk. This was so aggrevating as I had to hold the exam booklet in the air in awkward positions to see the booklet without my shadow being in the way.

On a good note, the results are already posted and I got 91% on the final! Thank You Jesus!!! I'm praying for a great GPA this semester...help me God please!!! :)

I found out today that there is more than one place they post the seating schedule for exams in the gyms....I always thought they just posted in the Kenise B/ Kenise A hallway but it turns out they post at the Kenise A entrance as well. Usually the Kenise A/ Kenise B hallway is always packed with people trying to find where they're sitting...takes forever for the line up to end......Funny how this info doesn't benifit me anymore because I'll be done exams forever after tommorrow....:P

My Mole Check Results

Okay, so today was the first time for me in trying a few things. First off, when we went to Denny's last night after YAC, I was so full that I basically took my entire French Toast Platter home. It wasn't 'til this morning that I realized that I didn't have any maple syrup...so what was I suppose to eat this French Toast with? It was nasty without anything on it...so I ate it with honey. First Time I've tried that and it wasn't too bad; it's not a substitute for the maple though... :) I also got to try banana flavoured cotton candy for the first time today and my bros and I devoured it instantly haha...I want more! Haha...reminds me of the comment made last night..."your favorite is Emily with bananas on the side...." hahaha....


Yup I had my mole check today...you know, the big one on the left part of my head....nothings wrong or anything....I just have to get it checked out every so often and my doctor said it hasn't grown or got worse or anything.....something to be happy about!

My Marvel Legends figures came in today and I think I spent almost an hour opening up these figures.....they're nice!! :) Someone want to come over and play with them? hahaha....I had to buy the whole set because each figure comes with pieces where if you assemble them, they make a 16 inch figure of Galactus (The Devourer of Worlds himself! The creator of The Silver Surfer!!!)

I studied lots today and I can tell you my brain is fried....it's getting harder to add new knowledge to my head; I am becoming a zombie......maybe I felt like a zombie today because I didn't get home from Denny's 'til 3am last night lol.....I can't believe we talked that long! It has been ages since that's happened.

Dick is back though...lucky bum was done exams long time ago!!! LOL...I wonder if I'll hang out tommorrow after church...I should really study though...but since Dick is in town for a bit, it might be worth hanging out (even if it's just for a bit)....hahaha....:)

Truth About my Appetite....

Listen, I am not some emotional person who eats when he's stressed or sad (unlike Linda's claims....haha)....I just find it convinient to eat because all I am doing is sitting at home studying during exam time! Geo doesn't agree with me either...but I found someone who does: Grace. Man I'd love to see you pig out! :)

The weather was so nice today...I had about 2 minutes to enjoy it when I took out the trash and got the mail. I wish I could go out and play instead of doing studying.....*sigh* 2 more exams to go.

I wrote my Soci exam today at 8am and finished in 30 minutes....it wasn't too bad. I came home at about 9:30am and was debating whether I should study or not...I mean hey, I was already awake! I decided to take a nap and didn't get up 'til 11:30am haha. My English exam was a little harder....took me the full 2 hours to do. Hope I did ok!

Even though I hate English and don't know why I took it (I think it was 'cause Alicia AGAIN convinced me to take it), I am glad I accomplished completing this class and conquored this mountain. I just hate feeling defeated by a hard class-a class which brings upon a little adversity....I felt like droping this course so many times...Thank You Jesus for helping me beat what I thought at times was unbeatable. ;)

Eating Problems Due to Exams?

Does anyone who has exams eat a lot during finals time? I've noticed that since I'm sitting at home and hitting the books, and not out running around or anything, I've been making lots of trips to our snack drawer. :P Am I the only one?

On the bright side, 2 exams tommorrow...meaning I'll have 2 more exams after tommorrow. Back to school for an 8am exam tommorrow.....*sigh...and then another 8am exam on Monday....suckers....

Out of Eggs?!?

My first final was a little challenging....I hope I did okay.... :(

What the, we're out of Mini Eggs at home? Well, actually we're down to our last bag...who's going to get it? I love Mini Eggs....does anyone like them? Who likes the Creme Eggs better?!? I don't! Mini Eggs are da bomb! We bought a stash of chocolates after Easter; they were on special. Now, they're almost all polished off... :)

Right now, I have a random quote from family guy in my head..."Dose thou wish to take a gander up my flock?" LOL! So funny, but only to those of us who really watch the show and would know which episode that is from.... :P

I'm trying to avoid studying for Soci and Engl....so boring. *Sigh.....well I guess I can't avoid it forever...time to hit the books yet again.... :P

Exam Time!

I guess there's not much to tell you other than it's EXAM TIME and I really hope I can maintain good study habits for at least one more week so I can do good on all my exams. What a "surprise"...today, I woke up at 10am...studied.....ate lunch...studied....ate dinner...studied....hahah! So...actually, my schedule for today had no surprises whatsoever.

First exam is tommorrow at 8am!! It's worth 50%; I have 3 exams worth 50% of my final grade this semester. The other two exams I have are worth 40% and 25%. I am not too worried about exams this semester. I try not to let anxiety conquor me...though sometimes the pressure is intense...I know... :) I am not really nervous about tommorrow's exam either...I am just going to try and do my best...I've studied for about a week for this exam ...I pray that God will help me bring this mark up because it's my lowest one! No pressure though lol!!

Good luck again to everyone and make sure you study hard; earn your good grades!!

McDonalds for the 2nd time this week....

I had McDick's for the 2nd time this week. I went on Friday with Alicia and we ended up eating there for dinner tonight and just lounged around there and chatting today, me, Jackson, Sam, Sarah and Andy.

I led worship today and it ended up too be pretty good. I originally had a planned set and theme pretty early for this day, but the whole thing was changed because I felt God wanted me to sing on a different theme. It's good to ask God to help you, even if it's just a simple worship set because it completely matched what Rev. Payne preached on today and even he was amazed today at how both our "themes" matched considering we never talked about unifying our worship/sermon themes.....we never do that at CPC! :P

So I was out all day today....I'm so tired. I didn't study at all today; I will study hardcore tommorrow forsure.

I also got to try Amato Gelato today.....not bad...but too expensive and not worth it. It's located at a former DQ where me, Alicia, and a few other buddies used to go to in Jr. High every Tues/Thurs; we were tubby kids with bady eating habits :P I will be going to Marble Slab from now on because though that's expensive, I get a better deal there than Amato Gelato, and it tastes better!! :P

Saturday is GONE

And just like that, Saturday is over and Sunday begins....well, in a couple of minutes at least lol.

I am proud of myself today. I woke up after having a 9-10 hour sleep, I studied for Bio for a few hours, relaxed and watched TV (while eating dinner), talked on the phone for a while with Grace, and I studied for English. The message I'm trying to get across is that I was productive today; I studied for the most of it.

What's with The Food Network? Man, I love that station now! It took me awhile to get into it, but they have some good quality stuff on that station! Go watch it!!!

bye bye classes, hello exams!?!!?

Yeah, semester's done; exams will commence for me starting on Tuesday at 8am! I've studied a lot for this exam as it's woth 50% of my final grade for that class. I'm a little nervous about all my exams, and for some reason, I find that I'm most worried about the exam that is worth the least!! (ENGL...it's only worth 25%) hahaha!!! So dumb!!!!

I bought some new figures on Ebay. I'm broke but I collect these. Marvel Legends series 9 is on the way.....each figure comes with a piece that assembles a 16" Galactus figure!! That's awesome; that's massive; that's massively awesome!!! :P

The Long Awaited Post....

Man, finally, I can update my blog......there have been some serious issues with blogger as I wasn't able to update my blog or post comments on everyone else's.....but now.....I can WAHAHAHHA!!!

The Library is really annoying at school because I can never find a computer. I'm updating this blog currently while standing up on one of the crappy computers by the elevators on the 2nd floor. CRAPPY!! I've been online for about 30 minutes...and let me tell you, standing and doing your routines online for that long is really inconvinient.

I saw a purple lightsabre at Toys R Us yesterday and I didn't buy it yet. Reason? I saw a lot there and may pick it up some other time...maybe even today! :P See, I'm not so impulsive; I can wait...even if it's for a day!! :P

I really want to find a job for May/June but there's not much avaliable that I would want to apply for. Just jobs that have low pay and such...arg.....I am so broke; I have never been this broke before. I can pay off my debts once I generate some income from DVBS, but man, still...I wish I could get rid of some of it in the Spring.

Haha, 2 more classes to go in the next 2 days and I am out of here for the semester suckers! Good luck to everyone on their exams. I know we're not out of the flames yet!!

Study I Did

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

----chorus from "Courage" by Superchic[k]

The above is my favorite song from Superchic[k]'s new CD.....Man, I like the band a lot, but this disc is REALLY catered to the female audience. Their first 2 CDs weren't like that, but this one is. Anyways, the above song's chorus totally describes how I've been feeling for a long time now. I am struggling...but man, God, together, we can make it through another day......

Study I did today....for Bio....the exam is worth 50%...it's scarry lol...but I pray I do good. The hardest part about studying for this is the beginning material is harder to study for because it's a lot of formula/models memorizing and when it was taught, I wasn't paying attention as much. :P But hey, if it's formulas/models, you'd think I would find it easy because that's basically what we study in Econ!!!! :P

And Alicia, I didn't skip class today......so hahahaha :P Class skippers are terrible ppl..terrible, terrible ppl....:P

Lost, if found, please call 1-800........

Wow it's been awhile since the last update. I haven't been home much all weekend. It truly was my last weekend to enjoy before exams. Leo's b-day was on Sat, and yesterday we went to Jon Chu's. There was football, BBQ, Chianti's and so much more....:) What was really good this weekend was our Joint Service where a Missions team from Toronto came to visit us; it was a group of 20 people or so haha. They were so good.....thanks be to God for the refreshment of it all...

I had lunch with Mother today. It was quite good...went to Fortune Food. Haven't been there since I was young. After that, we went to Lambda to buy some stuff and she drove me home. Now, I'm just sitting at home doing nothing, even though I know I should be studying lol. *SIGH*

Discipline, where did you go? Come back!!!!

Brains Splattering

I just realized on the bus today that I forgot to blog something that happened to me yesterday near Brentwood Mall. I was waiting to cross the street and there was a huge delay between the light turning green and me actually walking across the street yet that didn't stop this old lady from not stopping as she had RED for SO LONG. I was starting to head across the street when at the corner of my eye, I see this car coming really fast- I was thinking it was going to stop but it didn't and at the VERY LAST SECOND, she hit hurt breaks and I had to a few steps back......she was so freaked but for some reason I wasn't. Maybe it was because I was listening to worship music on my Ipod, maybe because I was out of it, maybe because I don't fear death??!?! I don't know what all i said was "iya..." very calmly hahaha......poor old lady, hope she didn't freak out TOO much....that would be terrible, but maybe she needs to learn a lesson. :P

I have to go to class right now...this is the last day of lecture so we get Bio ending a week early; no lecture next Tues and Thurs is guest speaker. Should I attend the guest speaker or get an extra 75 minutes of sleep?

I have a dentist appointment today.....should be some nice cleaning.....:) Please be gentle on my gums....
