8/5: hmm, so much pressure. dunno wat to write! this is my first attempt at actually rambling for anybody and everybody to read. kinda under pressure. eek! anywayz, let's see. i can ramble about wat's been going on this month. ok, is this somebody's idea of a sick joke? there's NO way it can already be august. may just started...but of course, classes start sept 5 and i can move in aug 26. craziness. so anywayz, aiyo...almost monday again. had a nice 3-day weekend, unexpectedly. took fri off from work cuz of my lil rollerblading mishap. to read more about wat happened, check my AIM profile. dun feel like rehashing the entire incident :-( it's fairly traumatizing y'kno. not to mention not being able to sleep/sit/stand/walk/climb/drive/dress myself comfortably. plus it's starting to, um, scab...so it's kinda itchy. :P (those easily grossed out, please scroll down...) ok, i'm done. just wondering how i'm gonna be able to sit in my chair for 8-10 hrs tomorrow. saw america's sweethearts and rush hour 2 sat nite. with my sis, jinny, and two cousins kevin and kelsey. highly recommend the second one for laughs and entertaining fight sequences. dood, but can i say something? how come the guys get zhang ziyi and rosalyn sanchez and we get stuck with jackie chan and chris tucker? hmm? seem a lil unfair to anybody? america's sweethearts verdict: ehhh...2 and a half mint chocolate chip ice cream bars. all the actors are extremely gifted, but as an ensemble, they didn't do it for me. i dunno~no chemistry, i guess. and christopher walken is just a freakmobile. hehe, nice cameo by sean green tho.
8/5: attended the First Korean Presbyterian Baptist Church in manchester today with monica and jeannette. 10 a.m. service, so missed my home church one at 11. recognized and got to say hi to lotsa korean kids who graduated and ones who still go to my former h.s. the pastor was talking about hebrews 12:1-13. awesome passage about Jesus being the author and perfecter of our faith. Pastor Bryan compared our Christian lives to running the Boston Marathon. When u run, u dun wanna be wearing boots, an overcoat, sweater, gloves, etc. u wanna be as light as possible. But many of us are burdened by these extra weights in our lives...and we wonder why we are tired. but if we focus our eyes on Christ, He can get us thru the rough spots. God disciplines His children, cuz He loves us...not cuz He enjoys watching us suffer and secretly rejoicing in our misery. Nope. He wants the best for us and by disciplining us, He's refining us and showing us more of what it's like to be holy. not to sound overly preachy, but this message reallie struck me. anywayz, afterward swung by monica's house and then dropped her sis janet off at work, then hit up some tag sales and then went shopping with jeannette and mons. i was the invalid in the back seat, constantly taking 10 min to board and unload the car, and just being uncomfortable. man, the junk some ppl think they can get away with selling. bought some snacks from my small group for this thursday's retreat at Roger Williams. can't believe it's been two years since i last went to RW. was at TAF in indiana last summer during retreat time. hey to all my taf-ers. i miss y'all! hope u guys are having an awesome time and dun forget to take pix! :P okee dokes...that's all for now :-) 99 folks~
