"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give..."

Ah what a perfect quote for thanksgiving. We make a living by what we get, yet what we give to others thas how we make a life. So if you break down the word 'thanks-giving' we give thanks to GOd for all the great blessings He gives us and continues to give us. On top of that we are called to give to others, juss how God gives us blessings errday. Yesterday was juss tons of fun and im extremely thankful for all the new friends ive made.

So yesterday i spent all afternoon and evening up in irvine. Had a some-what family dinner with my liwanag family. Actually it was only leo and i from shepherd's flock joined by cristina, janice, flo and leo's friend natalie. We ate at the spectrum at this sushi place called, 'maki, maki' mmm i love sushi. They were pretty good especially since it was half off! I had 2 philly rolls w/some of errone else's sushi. WEll since leo broke his glasses and didnt have his contacts on he asked me to drive back to in-n-out whurr my car was parked. Ha youre thinking, he asked YOU to drive?! Yup he asked me to drive his nice solora! whoa i got to drive a solora!
Ha the two of us ending up get 'turned around' coming back to the spectrum going back to uci. Oh well we ended up getting back safe and sound.

Then we went to his apt. and chilled. Good convo. Oh yeah he had me listen to this song in his car. I forgot wha its called and i knew i would, i shouldve written ti down. The song was about the nail who was pounded in to JEsus. Actually, its the nail talking in the song, as he doesnt know exactly know whas going on. I really, really liked that song, i guess jei had him listen to the song. Later on his joe and ed who also lives in the apt. came by. Good times, we watched the laker game and talked bout the 'days with the Lord' retreat. It sounds like a 'discernment' retreat, cuz there's no talking and its a fasting one also. I guess you gotta be sponsored to go and your sponsor takes you out for a 'last supper' anywhurr by your request. Sounds good to me! yum!

Joe was telling me bout the youf group he started called, 'nativity' at his ol home town. Him and his the cock crows 'thrice' joke was freakin hillarious juss like this 'getsemane.' He actually meant 'gethsemane.' hahah Good times, then i went over to francia's apt. whurr dee & cristina live also. We were suppose to play 'cranium' but errone who was thurr was juss knocked out. Tonz, eileen, and kathee were on the couch juss like sleeping, well except tonz. We were watching some fashion type show on vh1. Ha i learned a new word, 'metro-sexual.' Someone whos straight, but yet has feminie qualities. Hey i know someone who fits those qualities! hahaha Anyway, angie martinez and dave came by also as well as jenna. We ended up having a jam session inside dee's room.

Ahh yes i love them folks up at uci! THeyre juss oozles of fun over and over again!

Ten things im thankful for, in no particular order...
1. My fam bam tribe, they feed me clothe me wha more can i ask for?!
