GAHH..
exam. tmr. at 8:30am.
yet my mind keeps wandering off…
to things that shouldn’t matter at this moment…
ARGGH @#%T#$)TRGIPORWF#@erfqo3i
focus focus focus…
when two worlds collide…
I’m in Hong Kong.
and I’m having an argument with my parents. I decide to run away from home
next thing I know, i’m walking down a street, or a slope, if you will.
I forget about the argument and have a nice, light-hearted chat with Grace, Jermane, Ryan and Ian
suddenly it hits me. an intense urge to pee. so I start running to 355
only to see Ryan get on a red bicycle – racing me down the slope
all I can think is… I’m so going to punch you if you get to the washroom before me..
(– wait. why are we matching colours again??)
he’s turning back, and parking his bike. and he’s running with me
okay, we can still be friends
phew.
we continue running for what seems like 10 blocks
barely dodging cars and vans as we dangerously cross the roads
finally, we reach 241. hm. the house seems foreign.
why does it look so chic??
I run in, only to be stopped by Phil right before the washroom
“you may not enter”
“WHY!!?!! I’M GOING TO PEE ON YOUR FLOOR. SERIOUSLY”
“oh. FINE…”
I’m happily sitting on the white porcelain throne
………
and then I wake up.
so it was a dream…
but the intense urge to pee is still there.
i hastily get up…
but there’s someone in the washroom…
so I go over to Grace’s room and flop on her bed, asking…
“WHY MEEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?!?!?!!!”
He Knows My Name..
[day 5]
This song has never failed to comfort me in times of sorrow..
He sees each tear that falls
and He hears me when I call
when all else fails
in the midst of so much going on, so much on my plate,
to the point where I just want to cower in a corner and cry,
and just when everything seems too overwhelming to bear,
I’m glad to know that You’ll always be there for me to run to.
So, I just want to take this time to say
Thank You, my Lord, and Saviour.
…
yep, it’s one of those days.
when i see your (creepy) face…
many of you may have seen this video circling around lately, and no doubt it has either given you chills down your spine, or you find it to be the greatest thing ever
so in honour of this filipino man, i present to thee:
caught in the act .. almost
Due to the long period of deprivation, G was desperate to get some mj action up and running. So last friday, while waiting to go sign the lease for our new house (!!!), we decided to finally break out the mj set.. As we started picking up our tiles one by one, we were joking around and saying how it would be funny if the L family pulled up right about now — for those who don’t know, due to the gambling connotations of mj, the playing of this game is not condoned even if no actual gambling is occurring. So basically, we’d be in an awkward situation if we got caught. It was all fun and games until…
R: Omigosh guys. A Venza just pulled into our driveway. I’m not even kidding.
J: OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!
T+G: NO WAY……………
We didn’t even get past our third picks but we knew we had to conceal our mj setup as quickly as we could. We were running around and scrambling to find a way, until J decided to lift the whole table to her room… upstairs. As we tried to relocate, the table legs conveniently decided that it was a good idea to get caught at the top of the first flight of stairs. With a tinge of despair, only one thing echoed in our minds –
time is running out
After frantically trying to dislodge it, we finally made it up to the top of the stairs, only to encounter yet another obstacle:
J: it won’t fit!!!! it won’t fit!!!!!
R: DUMP THE TILES! DUMP THE TILES!!!!
*tilting table and letting all the tiles fall into J’s room so that the table could be folded*
R: sweep the tiles! sweep the tiles!!!!
We were definitely fighting against time, but thankfully they took a while to come into the house. This is it. We made it!! But just when we thought we were safe, sitting amongst the mess in J’s room, hearts pounding, unable to contain our laughter and packing the tiles back into their rightful home…
guys… we’re missing 2 tiles.
………
how’s that for an adrenaline rush?
cramps..
the boyfriend is never impressed with my accomplishments..
T: yesterday i got crampsand hten i had the biggest fart everso big i felt it get trapped in my pantscoz it couldn’t escape fast enough LOLI: ………..
anyhow.. so THAT, jermane, was why my fart was so loud :)
My plans vs. Yours
So we’re only just starting week three and I’ve already been an intense roller coaster ride.. Up, and down, around and around. I was so ready to hop off and go home.
From wanting to take a marketing course and knowing You’re calling me to
…to finding out i have to be readmitted to do so
…to trying and failing to get in contact with the admissions councellor
…to finding out that it’s almost impossible to get readmitted this late
…to being given a bunch of reason why i couldn’t be readmitted
…to having a prof backing me up
…to getting no reply at all by the registration deadline
…to applying to jobs out of desperation to stay in Canada
…to getting my first job interview in Canada and being super excited
…to finding out this company was not what i thought it would be
…to somehow landing a second interview
…to not getting the job, then finding out I can be readmitted on the same day
…to submitting my application and realising the admissions councellor was out of town again
…to waiting nervously for my application to process
…to finally being officially readmitted as of yesterday
It’s been one heck of a ride. Eye-opening to say the least. I’ve learnt and experienced a lot more in the past two weeks than I have in a while. For one, I learnt to take the public transit in toronto, by myself – something I’ve feared to do since I came here 4 years ago, due to the sheer vastness of this country.
Anyhow, the main reason for this post is for me to express my praise and thanksgiving to you, God.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your path straight.
It never occurred to me how much truth there is to these two verses. All this time I’ve been so confused as to what I should do. I started off being so sure that this course is what You want me to do and expected I’d succeed right away, yet I was turned down over and over again. I couldn’t understand, not noticing that everything was clouded by what I wanted to do… But in the end, You brought me back to where I thought I was supposed to be… Of course, not without teaching me a few lessons.
In the past two weeks You once again showed me your Your love and patience, even in my frustration and constant grumbling. Then right when I thought all hope is lost, You led me through this whole journey and so I followed, realising that I can put all my trust in You. I am still in awe and disbelief of how You’ve made everything work out in the end, even with so many twist and turns and how everything happens with Your perfect timing.
I am so thankful for what You have taught me, to be trusting and to be patient, and I want to praise You for Your infinite love and guidance.
omgahh, no wayy!!
