my God is an awesome God.

what a beautiful day to serve :)
seriously it was such a nice day.
we went to do homeless ministry 2.0 today at cesaer chaves park in sac.
it was a lot more interactive this time around.
we got to talk to some people. and it was nice.
i mean, honestly it was awkward for me, but i really wanted to place myself out of my comfort zone and reach out to people.

mm went to davis sushi buffet for the first time today for micah's birthday
it was deeelicious.
:)

then we went to Unity in Christ-We Were Made to Worship.
we were super late, and i wish i had come earlier because the speaker was amazing.
basically, he was like a transvestite. he was a gay man who wanted to be a woman.
and he was tired of being judged by others.
and he went through a lot throughout his life
but he turned to God desires instead of his own.
and he became christian. married to a woman with children for many many years.

i think this message was important for a lot of us, because christians often don't know what to do when it comes to a topic regarding homosexuality. but they are still God's childrens and He loves them. so we are to love them as well. it was just a really great message and there was some really great praise afterwards.

boo for daylight savings :(

lets run!

ugh. im getting a little irritated by my roommate right now.
i mean, she tries to make her boyfriend a better person,
but when her boyfriend tries to make her a better person, she doesn't do it.
like she always tells him to go to class and stuff
and he tells her to go to class, but she says no
i know im no expert in relationships and whatever, but
shouldn't it be a two way street?
each person tries to make the other person better?
sigh i don't know

anyways today was a really pretty day :)
it was sunny, yet cool.
i went to the arc today and started off at 5.0 mph
5.23 miles and 508 calories
im excited to improve :)
the elliptical was getting a little boring.
hahha but i showed improvement with that too
i used to burn like 400 cals/hour
but i kept working at it til 600 cals/hour
i feel weird talking in calories, but it didn't tell me how many miles i ran on the elliptical..
but yeah whoo hopefully i'll start running faster and faster :DD

--

okay got back from late night with aacf freshmen
so i need to rant more.
my future housemates have stopped asking me if they can eat my food now :(
i came back from class and they were eating my yogurt, bread, peanut butter and jam :o
im kind of sad today because of that.
and im almost sad bc well
here's how me and shannon do laundry.
we kind of do it together so we can save money
we separated colors last saturday. i did the laundry last saturday for her clothes & mines.
she didn't do any laundry.
it is not almost friday and she still hasn't done the laundry.
laundry that has my clothes in it.
i dont know. i feel like . shouldn't you want to do laundry especially if you're doing someone elses?
SIGHSIGHSIGHSIGH
frowns all around :(

sigh professor luker.

im a little bit worried for my gpa this quarter :(
i think im going to get a b/b+ in english, and that makes me frustrated.
i feel like he grades way too harshly for an lower division class >:O
i asked for a regrade on the previous paper and he bumped me from a b to a b+.
woo. -_-
bye bye 4.0.

anyways today was pretty cool :)
it was one of my longer days, but i ended lab relatively early.
im like always the last group to leave, but today was different.
and it was such a nice day today! the weather was perfect.

at like 4:30 ish michelle and i went to her place (sw16) to brainstorm ideas for our brothers.
basically we had to do something for geoff mac, randy nguyen and francis chu.
we were just thinking aloud, and then andrew calls us over to sw17 to check out his pokemon deck.
sigh these college boys are playing pokemon cards!
hahha but it was fun just chilling at their place.
then we decided on making
pasta with alfredo sauce, pork chops and cheesecake cupcakes!
it was fun hanging out with michelle and the others.
i cant wait for a kitchen of my own so i can cook and bake!

we also went to guadalahara for burritos! yumyum.
got back to my dorm around 1-1:30 ish and bumped into joe, justin, dana and christine at the door
talked for a bit, got in trouble for being loud, went inside, took shower and here i am ready to do some hw before going to bed.

what a red face you have.

so today i went to the arc alone at around 2:30ish.
it was pretty cool because a lot of machines are open around that time :)
i decided to treadmill today; and man it was tiring!
i think it'd because i've been so used to using the elliptical.
but yeah i was around 5.0-5.5 mph. but i couldn't do it for an hour
because i was so tired.
but this is good for me :)
i can work towards running faster and faster.
i'll start slow at 5.0 mph and try to speed up to 6.0 mph.
it'll give me something to work for :)
anyways my face was incredibly red afterwards.
like, seriously.
hahha.
legos was super fun today :)
we made skits today.
very funny :)
jasmine's "oh my gosh. what happened to them!"
and shannon's "so..you wanna go get a smoothie?"
it was cool :)

raindrops keep falling on my head.

so i slept at 5am and woke up at 9am.
hahah weekends were meant for rest?
sometimes.
today was rainyrainyrainy.
went to ucc with shannon
then afterwards we all went to eat at dc!
i temporarily lost my id card, so yk swiped me in :)
my parents came today and brought some food.
i realize i miss my mom a lot. hahha
i think im coming home for spring break!
because my grandpa might go to my uncle's in march.
so yeah :D
i took a wonderful nap after my parents left
went to eat dinner with shannon.

i didn't eat any sweets today!
this isn't for lent necessarily, but i just want to live a healthy lifestyle.
eating healthy, going to arc 5x a week, studying daily, read the bible daily, no sweets/junk food!
because honestly, junk food is unhealthy and is of no benefit to the body.
kind of like drugs, no?

i shall try :)

ugh i got a b on my chem midterm after the curve. i really want an a :(
heck, i want a 4.0.

brother's appreciation!

so today i just feel really happy and joyful :)
today we had brother's appreciation for aacf.
mm, first the four of us went to eat brunch.
and then i did laundry and cleaned the dorm with shannon.
then i went to arroyo park with other aacfers to play games!
we had battleship, throw-frosted-wheats-at-sisters-who-have-whipped-cream-on-their-face, and squeeze-orange-into-cup-without-using-your-hands. :)
it was really fun and cute to watch. hahah

then we went back to dorm and got ready for the banquet!
i was doing my hair, and it didn't look too good
so i asked shannon to do it. she put a lot of big curls in my hair
and i was like "uh..doesn't look like it's gonna look good."
but she did her tricks, tied it to the side and added a ribbon.
she is a hair master!
haahh and so i went and it was really great :)
i just felt like we're all a family trying to live for God as brothers and sisters.
just..really good feeling. hahah.

i feel so blessed. i really thank God for giving me my future housemates & aacf.
