That was a picture from the YFC 'bomb fire.' As them irvine folks call it, they decided 'bond fire' is too played out so they came up w/something more creative. The fire was blazing hot! haha juss check out the pic of kristel mae heating up her marshmellow. The bomfire was corona del mar, brought back memories of SOL bonfire. ::sigh:: SOL bonfire was whurr i met whas her name, alma! I wonder if shes still serving for SOL anyway, havent seen that chick in ages. ANyway bomb fire was cool, we played games, did some praise & worship and ate hot dogs while roasting smores. PLayed tic tac toe w/kristel fama and took pics of toni and her afghan whurr. haha
ALl in all it was good times, good times! Bonfires remind me of summer!

Work we played talk show w/the kids. The topic was something like i once was bullied bout being ugly but now im all that. That was funny but it ended up getting too carried away. I did good politics during the city manager's wife's baby shower. I sat w/council members, city clerk and city manager. City manager gave me and my chef's club program props. He was telling the council member how weve evolved from baking cookies and cakes to making hardcore stuff like adobo chicken, fried rice, etc. THen one of the parks & rec commissioners dropped off 14 aprons she made for my class. My director told me she gave me props as she stopped by last thurs. to check out the program. Yay!

I was talking w/the pryde counselor about the most beneficial part about our jobs. She counsels at risk youf for free. Let me tell you the youf that comes in there for counseling gots some hardcore drama going on in their lives too. Im sure that gets mentally exhausted and physically on top of that following up on them and doing the paper work. THough praise God cuz working w/kids is also a blessing in disguise. Knowing youre out there making a difference for these kids lives. THough it may not seem like it to them inside, they know you love them. With my kids no matter how many times i kick them out and yell at them they keep coming back.

Speaking of the youth, i decided this morning im not gonna bring my kids to the anniversary mass. IN fact im not gonna go either to mass, i realized i have to have a serious talk w/my kids about priorities in life. I realized as i finished reading all their reflections, which took forever too. Most of them are worried bout skool which is understanding, theyre still making that transition from jr. high to hs. Its only the second month of skool and a lot of them are skurred theyre not doing very well in their classes. Then there are a couple who are worried about finding a bf/gf. As i read all this i realized i need to tell them to set their priorities straight. Concentrate more on skool and less on other small stuff like that. To focus on developing a prayer life w/God. Explain why go through all the drama of break ups and all that stuff. WHy go through all that over and over again. So thas wha class is gonna be about next week. Pray that they get something out of it.

Hot doogs anyone?!
