"No day is so bad that it cant be fixed without a nap..."

I love taking naps! I love juss jumping into bed after a long day and juss resting my eyes. Till i fall alseep. Though sometimes its hard waking up, especailly after a 2 hr one. Even when i take a long nap, i still have enough energy to get myself into bed again. I was planning on taking a nap today, unfortunaltey it didnt work out that way. I was pretty much in and out running around all afternoon. Man! i didnt even get a chance to start my literature homework too. Thats gonna take a good long time, maybe ill do it on sunday. Im not a huge superbowl fan anyway, i dont even remember what i did last superbowl. I also need to adjust my talk and insert some more stuff into it. For the past couple months now ive been preparing for it. Well juss in my head ha juss thinking bout stuff hurr and thurr. Now i need to really put it on paper!

Went to red lobster for my aunts birfday today. I love red lobster, but today the service juss sucked! Okay, okay, maybe it was the servers first couple months or something but maaan it took forever to get errthang back. I was so tempted to talk to the manager and complain bout how slow our service was. Anyhow, i got the endless shrimp deal and it was so good. The best thing bout red lobster i think is their bread! Mmm i can go and juss eat their bread! haha Im sure thsoe have been to red lobster can attest to that. I had like all these different kinds of shrimp and it was soo goood! INcredible i tell you!

I was driving around all afternoon looking to buy a new celli. Yes, my 8390 is pretty outdated, the time i got that phone they were the hottest thing on the market. Soon they were outdated juss like a comp. and phones w/cameras and color screens came out. Agh! i so wanted one at that time, but i settled for what i had. I finally settled for too long cuz my contract was a 2 year agreement. 2 years is a long time when new phones come out! So i decided to go check out some phones, in my head i was looking for the flip phone. As much as i loved nokia and its easiness, i wanted a flip phone. FLip phones are cool! haha THough ha! after searching all day, i ended up sticking w/a nokia. I got a new phone yay! Its nokia 3100, theyre brand spanking new too. I consider what i got a pretty good deal, being that i went errwhurr and errone was pretty much offering me the same thing. THas what i did 70% of my day, i had gone to 3 malls and 2 little cell phone stores.

Suicide skit practice went well. Next time i want to be the devil, since this time i was sin, then last yurr i was Jesus. Next time around im going to request to be the devil. Its good to get a mix of all the different roles. THen i went w/calvin to go watch, 'You got served.' Oh my gosh can we say it was so ghett0 at krikorian! I wanted to go to cerritos figuring no one would be in thurr. BUt since i had to take liz home and the mall was juss right thurr, i settled for it. I was bothered cuz i had these ghett0 girls screaming each time marques houston and omarion from b2k came on.

I loved the movie! haha Arch and babyvee figured id want to watch that movie. Let me tell you if thurrs one type of movie i like, its like them black urban ones. The movie made me think and i like movies that make me think. THe theatre was jam packed, i ran into the guy who i have in my bio class thurr also. The same person whom i let borrow the scantron. LUckily we found seats at the very top. I want to see perfect score, butterfly affect, and barbershop 2. Oh man thurr was this really hot girl in the movie, in the movie her name was 'keke.' Totally fit the outside standards of what i like in girls! wooO! If you see the movie shes the asian girl that joins up the in the dance crew. Thurr were many corny purrts in the movie, but overall i give it two thumbs up! yay!

ALright it seems like bout 4 different parishes are having their confirmation retreat this weekend. Including sPv, and it seems like sPv;'s confirmation program are the only ones who will be staying in the homeland. I heard thurr is snow in the mountains! maan i want to go ot the snow! Okay, my point is please pray for all those little souls going through the retreat this weekend. That they will be open to it and feel the warmth of God's love through it. PLease pray that the Spirit will also guide the leaders/faciliators giving the retreat. That whatever comes from them will be from the work of God. Wow, these weekends are juss never ending arent they?! Praise God!




The dance moves in you got served are crazzy!!

"She got a white skin friend that looking like michael jackson, she got dark skin friend looking like michael jackson..."im done, im out God bless!

"Charity is the form, mover, mother and root of all the virtues... "

Maaan! i forgot to pray my chaplet today, i juss realized that! I shouldve prayed it when i had thought about it earlier. Ahh! the first time too since i brought the idea up and emailed it to the committee! Well besides that, i feel really happy right now. Im juss overjoyed cuz today was as toni says super 'uber' cool. Everything went really well today, talked to some cool people and some of the best conversations. I love having conversations w/people who are juss so filled w/the spirit. Grace and i have those type of conversations, theyre juss so freakin happy w/what the Lord has dont to their lives that you cant help but to only be happy as well. Theyre light shines so bright that it hurts my eyes. But Praise God cuz it allows me to see the light of God through and in them.

Skool was pretty coo, though my discussion group for my literature class wasnt too happenin. Thurr was one guy who juss didnt seem like he was interested. One girl who was juss totally into it, another girl who was kinda like that. Then thurr was this other asian guy who didnt really talk much, then me. Im having a hard time getting back into the whole eng. mode phase. IM trying to really learn how again to analyze and find hidden messages in the readings. Im sure slowly ill get back into it again. Before class started i had 15 min to kill, i ran into some guy trying to sell me middle eastern philo books. He was pressuring me into getting them and then so i said to get him off my back, 'okay.' But then he wanted donation and then i lied saying i had no cash on me right now. THen he offered to take a check or credit card. What the freak?! why would i give you my credit card # or write you out a check? He left me alone once i told him i had no $$. haha

Work was tight, we were all cracking jokes today at work. My boss and one of my other coworkers is coaching a tball team together. So they were tlaking bout the agenda for practice and all. Then i said well end it w/a closing prayer. My boss laughed and he siad i can see you now, 'okay kids let all gather around for our closing prayer....our Lady of Victory...pray for us!' hahahaha Then later on i made this vegetable hamburger stir fry w/the kids. It was tight, it was real good too. I love cooking, its soo fun. Mini Iron chef strikes back again gail! haha Im telling you i want to get a camera in the kitchen when i cook on thurs. Put together my own cooking show, on the reals yo!

SRE went well, achie and i's class size has really gone down since the very beginning of the year. We went over how to make a confession today in class, worked on that all nite. What to do, wha to say etc. Achie and i made a 'mock' confession to give them an idea of wha itll look like. Except, she was the priest and i was the kid making the confession. haha JOKING! i was the priest and i put over me this red ribbon to make it look more hardcore. Then i asked the, 'how many times' question. FUn stuff, then we ended it w/a quiz on the white board. Majority of them got it packed down. We also started to teach them the act of contrition. Man that prayer has changed so many times.

Afterwards chilled w/fred and jay at del taco. Good stuff, we cracked so many jokes! I saw tiffany and richard truijjo some ol classmates from hs. Tiffany is preganant w/her 2nd child on her way. Wow. Its good seeing classmates, though. So jay, fred, and i sat cracking so many different jokes. From how to practice for my talk to the word 'tight.' haha Oh man i coudlnt stop laughing. THen fred brought up the whole times when we would 'perp' as each other. Example: JpfishI87 or blu8312 hahahaha oh man the people we punk'd! Or wha bout the 'hey man wink!' hahahaha or the 'tagosanging man wink' hahahahah ahh he did hook us up though w/chicken joy, cant complain thurr! Then we had the whole 'tight' joke going again at the end!

Talked to charisse for a while on the phone. She's such a charcater, her and grace. Maan shes gonna be gone all weekend, who am i gonan talk to?! haha jk AS i was talking ot grace i came across another fire engine. Earlier duringthe day when iw as talking ot her anotehr passed by. She said, 'dang, you must be hot on fire since you be running into all those fire trucks.' hahaha jk no she didnt exactly say that, but it would make for a better story! haha I got home and i was talking to vanessa wha i like to call my 'blind valentines LOC date.' We have some things in common, though it was like 20 ?'s! haha Were suppose to meet up prior to the dance that day at dennys across from sPv. Then i was talking ot cyril forever online bout spirit games stuff and juss wha not. Leo came on and we briefly talked, he asked for prayers and i wll lift him and liwanag up in my prayers. They have their monthly homeless outreach going this sat. Please pray for them and their commuinity.

Wow tomorrow, i got a birfday luncheon w/fam bam tribe, followed by youf alpha training @ 6 then closing w/turn around skit practice. Maan when are my days not so busy?! My whole year is pretty much packed already. Jay da banker called me juss to say he saw reirich and arisa at lucille's. Im like okay?! anyway thas it for now, pray for all these retreats going on!


I love Holy Spirit Saturday!!

"Turn around, make it bounce shake it like you come from out of town..."im done, im out God bless!

"Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you..."

So Pops told me about this weird dream he had the other day. HE told me that he had dreamnt that he had AOL 10.0! hahahahahha That he was all excited bout and checking out all the features it had and errthang. HE goes i dont know why i dreamnt that before cuz i dont even really go online! haha Crazy ol maurice! i juss thought that it was hillarious! Pops and i couldnt stop laughing. I love my pops! haha

Yesterday in class, i was so sleepy! Sunday and tuesdays i need to sleep earlier so that way im not so sleepy in class. I really like my bio class, the instructor is cool. We had a quiz yesterday and my classmate next to me didnt have any scantrons. HE asked me if i had two scantrons he could have and being i had extras(neeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyoowwww)i gave him some. Ha i always curry extra scantrons(neeeeyyyoowww)juss cuz i know how it is when you forget scantrons. That juss sucks if you forget scantrons and you cant take a quiz or test. Moral of the story, curry extra scantrons w/you juss in case.

I had received another email the other day bout the guy matt, whos battling i think cancer and is undergoing some pretty hardcore chemo right now. He's very weak and almost fainted trying to walk. Also the treatment has made him very depressed. So im asking if you guys could possibly write him letters to help cheer him up. Or if you teach an SRE/CCD class maybe have your kids do so. I cant imagine how painful and tiring it is goign through a disease like that. I remember when my dad was going through chemo, it was hard on all of us. MOst especially him, he was always weak and tired. Praise God that he got better and he recovered. THat was a real difficult time for my family, but through his grace we got through it!

Went to yFC last nite and it was fun. I love those guys over thurr, we did this cool activity called the wheel of morality. There was different types of acts, like love, service, friendship, etc. Whatever the wheel spun on, then the group had to present the topic thorugh a skit as well as bible verse. IT was really funny, then we had a nice praise & worship that genieve lead. Great stuff! Then we went to taps which is fun. Im not a real boba fan either. IM real picky bout my boba and whurr i get it from. Also the flavors that they have, i like my boba blended and not like all watery.


Yum YuM yUm!

"We are the reason that he gave us life..."im done, im out God bless!

"God doesn't see the ribbons or medals, he sees the scars..."

I love that quote and yes leo, youre right this quote defiently applies to serving. In God's eyes it doesnt matter how many communities or ministries or church activities you were involved in. In His eyes its how you served through those communities, through those events. Whether you served by example and actions or juss words. It was really cool in father's homily on sun. he said gandhi had once said, 'my actions, are my words.' I thought that was so inspiring and i really believe that, Gandhi was a man of actions. Thas why he so many people admire the guy, juss for his actions and his efforts for peace. I think if he was a catholic he probably wouldve been venerated, beaitified, or even saint status by now.

So then what then bout God seeing our scars? I think in my opinion, scars from our battles. In every battle, in every war there comes scars from it. THose are the memories we have from those particulars wars. With our spirituality its the same way, the scars are the temptations we were able to fight off. The ones we were able to over come. The big picture is how much you put up a fight in the end. The souls that you fought hard for, the ones you may never meet or see, but juss knowing you helped save them from the hands of the devil. I cant wait to give my talk for youf alpha next week. This weekend when i get a chance i need to brush it up w/new analogies.

I guess ill be going to the Lambs of Christ Valetine's Dance on Valentines day. The theme is, "my heart belongs to you..." awww thas juss like the song we sing for at prayer meeting. MY hurrt, my hurrt belongs to you, my sooul, my sooul, belongs to you, i could never leave you, yorue all that i need...haha I love that song too! I miss going ot prayer meeting! Oh yeah so anyway this girl jasmine from that community, hooked me up with 'blind date' from their community. IN other words were gonna be going together, i guess. This should be interesting, now that i think bout it though i shouldnt of have obliged right away. Only cuz the drive is killer and especially after a dance on a sat. nite imma be real tired. Ahh well see wha happens, though it beats not really doing anything. I remember last valentines day, burr and i went out for lunch at this philly cheese sandwhich place in fountain valley i think. It was suppose to be one of the best ones, awww i love the burr! haha

YOuf alpha was good, i cant wait for the retreat this weekend. Im juss excited bout the music, being that well actually ahve the real music min. performing the songs. I remember the first youf alpha at the knights of columbus hall. I didnt really know the community back then, but i do remember that i gave boss lady and burr the currds that my 1st communion class made them. I also remember how excited burr was cuz they spelled his name right. haha Its funny how juss certain memories tend to stick out in your mind. Like for example i was going through my organizer and some of the stuff i wrote in it before. Well i write in it errday like what i did and wha happened, basically a mini blog but more details. Anyway, i ran across a dec. 22 entry whurr reirich took the whole community out to eat at Fridays. Or the days when el juego and i had class together at nite. How thurr was that one handicapp lady and she accused jay of trying ot look at her answers and he wasnt even trying to! hahah ohh man the memories!

Well i must get going so i can try and attempt to finish my eng. homework. This way when i come home from yfc tonite, i dont have to worry bout it. Agh! i dont want to be staying up forever tyring to finish it. Reading, analyzing, and critical thinking takes forever! agh! WOw the weekend is almost hurr, its gonna by real fast. AGh! i hate the stupid street construction on lincoln. Im so tempted to go either BP city council or cypress city council and complain. It is sooo inconvienient and causes soo much traffic! Geez! I hate it stupid street construction, i really do! So Sen. Kerry took New Hampshire last nite, i predict he'll end up taking it all. Oh last nite it was funny, one of my SRE kids told from my class that if anyone ever is messing w/me tell them and theyll take curr of it! haha thas so funny, i love my kids!


Prayer meeting was explosive last nite!

"Watch out, my outfit?s ridiculous, In the club lookin? so conspicuous..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"Faith is the foretaste of that knowledge which hereafter will make us happy..."

The point of my entry yesterday was not to focus on the things ive been involved in. The point i was tyring to make is the importance of leadership. How a persons 'yes' into wanting to become a leader in a community is so important. You cant become a 'cafeteria' leader, pick and choose when you want to be available. A leader to a community, is a job, respsonsibility, and as burr said, an obligation. When you fail to do your job, then you fail to help win back souls for God's greater glory.

The empty Chair

A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in the bed with his head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside the bed. The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. 'I guess you were expecting me.' He said.

'No, who are you?' said the Father.

The minister told his name and then remarked, 'I saw the empty chair and i figured you knew i was going to show up.'

'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bed ridden man. 'Would you mind closing the door?' Puzzled the minister shut the door.

'I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter.' said the man. 'But all of my life i have never known how to pray. At church i used to hear the pastor talk about the prayer, but i went right over my head. I abadoned any attempt to at prayer.' the old man continued, 'until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,' JOhnny prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here is what I suggest. Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. Its not spooky because he promised, 'I will be with you always.' Then just speak to him the same wayu youre doing w/me right now.'

'So, i tried it and ive liked it so much that i do it a couple hours everyday. Im careful though. if my daughter sees me talking ot an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm.'

The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, annointed him with oil and returned to the church. Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon.

'Did he die in peace?' He asked.

'Yes, when i left the house about two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me he loved me and kissed me on teh cheek. When i got back from the store an hour later, i found him dead. But there was something strange about his death. Apparently, just before daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?

THe minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, 'I wish we could all go like that."


Wow here comes another busy week!

"I feel so dirty, i feel so dirty wash my feet..."im done, im out God bless!

"The measure of love is to love without measure..."

YOu know i realized today that man all my life since elementary skool ive been active in some type of club/ministry/etc. Through those different things ive been active with, ive seen, learned, and developed types of leadership skills from different leaders who trained and taught me. Its amazing what you can pick up within so many yurrs. Elementary skool i was in saftey patrol(neyyooww), and student council two years in a row. Junior high, i was elected into ASB, i was then elected the position of historian. Keeping track of the memories of the different events ASB had put together. I was also historian one yurr in elementary skool also! ha! My eight grade yurr, i moved up and became activities commissioner. I was in charge of making sure each wednesday, the skool had noon time activity.

High school came and i was part of ASB again. MY freshmen yurr i was asked to be freshmen class treasuer. I ran for ASB the end of my freshmen yurr and sophmore yurr. ANother neeeyooww! So i was a loser and didnt get elected into the positions i had ran for. Although it sucked and i was upset that i didnt make it, praise God cuz it allowed me to serve in other ways. Sophmore yurr i became 'founding father' of a spanish club, i became president and ran the club pretty well i think. Junior year i became involved in the skool the newspaper, it was brought back to life after geez so many yurrs of not having one. I became the editor-in-chief, in charge of publishing and putting together a monthly skool newspaper.

That same yurr i got involved in the development of the our annual 'international week.' This was like planning for an LSS or a youf rally. In a sense its like planning for the spirit games now. I was the co-coordinator who helped put this event together. Senior year i got to be in ASB and i became inter club council commissioner. I was in charge of all the different clubs/organizations on campus. I had to hold monthly coloabo meetings w/the different leaders of the different clubs to tell them what was up. On top of that my main responsibility was to over see and plan international week. Like i said it wasnt an easy job and it took a lot of planning to do. Praise God for the fruits that it produced afterwards.

Even after HS i became active in teaching confirmation and 1st communion. Became asst. site director/enrichment coordinator at the day curr. Now yurrs later, im still involved w/so many different things. Praise God that He's pretty much kept me on the right path throughout my whole life. Praise God that my life was so consumed and still is by outside activities thurr was/is no room for getting into trouble. The reason why i say all this is cuz through serving to clubs/ministires/organizations throughout my whole life, ive seen leadership. Its through these different things, whur ive learned what leadership is all bout. How to become a leader and wha a leader is.

To me being a leader in a community is a pretty big job with many resposibilities. It takes a lot of commitment and dedication. This also means you and the rest of the leadership of the community is responsible for the souls of the community. You gotta be available and truly be committed in the service youre doing. That means going to core meetings as well as prayer meetings, not when you feel like it or when youre free but ALL THE TIME! The core group are the pillars holding up the community and when one of those pillars fall, the rest of the pillars have to carry the weight. When another one falls, thas one more less pillar carrying the weight. Point is all the pillars have to be thurr in order to hol it together.

For me personally, i have tons of other responsbilities, though i do my best to prioritize and balance my time out. Example, i teach confirmation each tues. from 7-830pm. BUt you say, 'hey dont you have prayer meetings also on tuesdays?!' Why yes i do have prayer meetings on tues. but i always make it a point to go straight to prayer meeting right after. Why? Cuz its my duty, its my job and its my resposibility as a core leader. Juss like an apple if the core on the inside is rotten, so is the rest of the apple. It takes a combined effort of whole entire core to produce good fruits for the community. I learned that if you cant be committed than, dont be in it. If you cant give your full 100% effort into the community/ministry, then step down or dont be part of it. Its not fair to the community when you cant put your whole effort to serving. The community starts to suffer when as a leader you neglect your duties.

The point is, if youre leader step up to the responsiblities of the position. A real leaders words are its actions, in wha they do and how they do it. Jus like in todays readings, St. Paul says when part of the body suffers they all suffer together. Same way with a core team and a community. I loved how nick said at the end of the meeting how we have souls here. A while back SOL had done a 'victim of his love' retreat at St. Bernards. It was a difficult one cuz of the participants werent very active, or responive. Though they said Praise God anyway. Turns out a year later, during a retreat or something a kid who went through that retreat at St. Bernards stood up and gave a testimony. Gave a testimony bout how SOL's retreat was the one thing that prevented him from committing suicide.

We have to be ready for the spiritual attacks of the devil. When youre life is juss perfect w/nothing going wrong, then something is wrong. Attacks are merely obstacles getting in our way of accomplishing our purpose. No one ever said, that serving God was going to be an easy job. When the attacks come, we gotta keep praying and stand firm. Think of those souls that you will be able to touch. Yes you may not see them right away but who knows later on you may come in contact w/that soul. Then praise God that you helped win another soul for God's greater glory. We cant let the attacks of the devil be excuses for serving God. Embrace the attacks and offering up your trials to God. He will guide you, He will direct you.

Leadership is avaiblity, commitment, intesnity, desire/dedication. Most of all it's YOUR service to God. We must love until it hurts.

"Eternal Father,
I offer Thee the most precious blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said throughout the world today,
for all the holy souls in Purgatory."
Amen

"Blessed are they who stand firm when trials come; when they have stood the test, they will win the crown of life." -James 1:12


Let's get up and pick up our crosses today!

"Wake me up, wake me up to a new day..."im done, im out God bless!

"That man is truly humble who converts humiliation into humility..."

Agh! Burr woke me up yesterday jumping up on my bed. So i woke up and we loaded the bed that we gave him, into the curr. At the same time my parents were putting in my sisters new window. Now its onyl a matter of time till she gets her room back. Which means her junk will be out of mine! yesss! So i drove burr to his house and we unloaded the bed. ALl he has to do now is put it together. From thurr i went and ran some mini errands, picked up my ties at the dry cleaners, got a gift for the wedding, got a card at the 99 cent store. FOr being a 99 cents store, they really have nice quality currds. Go check it out sometimes, i recommend it!

1130 am was turn around skit practice. Praise God it was productive and errone showed up, which allowed us to get our skit stuff done. We've played around with different type of endings to have. WE have opition one whurr suicide grabs the leg of Jesus and tries to overtake him, leaving Jesus to stab suicide killing him for good. Then we have opition two, whurr suicide grabs the leg of the girl and bites it. Leaving the girl to kick suicide and then stab him w/a sword. Or...we have #3 which is my favorite, after Jesus takes on the sins of the little girl, suicide jumps up inbetween the girl and Jesus while they hug, pushes them and says, 'thurr is no happy ending hurr boys and girls!' Personally, i like opition #3 cuz its unexpected, so its not one of those 'and they lived happily ever after.' Man those kids would be really balling after that! haha

Came home then i got ready for tthe wedding. I figured since i was already late for the service, ill skip it and juss go to the reception. Besides, its not like i would be missing much, since it wasnt a mass. I had gone to my grandparent;s house to see if my grandpa could tie my tie. He's so funny cuz he attempted to do it a couple of times, but i thikn he forgot. THen when i went back to say bye to him he wanted ot try again. haha I ended up having to go to my pops to have him do it for me. So thanks pops for tieing my tie. Since i had some time to kill i got gas since i was running low. The reception was at my work, it was nice though. Small and yet intimate, i guess their dj cancelled out on them last min at the ceremony. How sad! The couple were running around last min to try to see wha they could for music.

The food was prepared by the bride's family. They had rice w/mushrooms and this cheese and ham inside a chicken. Quite interesting, then these small finger food type things. They had a shown a power point slide show of the couple growing up until now. Lots of city staff was thurr, at least one person in each dept. It was nice getting together and chillin w/co workers. We all got our jam on later on the dance floor. They had to juss use manual CDs being the dj wasnt thurr. Ha my boss told errone that i was going to the seminary and they all believed him! THye were all like, are you really going to the seminary? I was like huH?! HA what a trip he is. I left thurr all sweaty and hot ha from dancing. haha That cotton eyed joe dance mix song is the jam yo!

Came home changed and then i went to carson to meet up. I walked in and errone was like prayer meeting is over. ha So we all went to the crossroads, so we wont be lonely and chilled thurr. I actually enjoy it more then going to taps. I dont have to worry bout being shot over thurr. ha joking! Man thurr was tons of action going at the starbucks. MEt anthoneeze's girl who works at loft, very nice. I told her how i loved the loft's spam masaubi, maan i need to get my pb to make me some of those! those are bomb! I also met some of christy's ol hs friends, nice girl. Then we had a group of guys who were beatboxing, freestyling and altogether juss jammin. Later on, it all turned out to be people jammin' to all these different song.

It was d0pe as i heard peter and his crew sing, 'surely the presence.' Wow its like i could actually feel the presence of the GOd's angels among us. Then we had ginuwine;s pony song going, gm busted the 1st verse out and oh man it was hillarious! Charisse thought she could get hooked up w/free coffee by tryin to spit game at the guy. 'So rey you work hurr a lot?' haha Then thurr was this girl who looked like aayliah only shorter. Diocel and i had the whole 'aayliah called and she said she wants her hurr style back' hahahaha we were bof crackin up like no other. Man those are the best times up thurr at teh crossroads. Anthoneeze let me borrow to burn this CD he made, its sooo tight! I like going over thurr at crossroads, best time of fun you can have, is w/people who shurr the same interests as you. Amen!


See you at the crossroads, crossroads!

"So i stay up every night and on my knees i keep praying..."im done, im out God bless!

"We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear..."

Well, today is saturday and wow it looks like my sunday wont be as busy as i thought after all. Turns out the wedding i thought i was suppose to go to on sun. is on saturday. Ha good thing she called me yesterday and told me that the wedding was actually sat.! Otherwise, as i told anthony, i wouldve went on sunday all dressed up at this protestant church looking like a foo! haha So praise God cuz now ill have time inbetween core group meeting to go to mass and then still have a little bit of time inbetween before going to SOL. Actually, im kinda skurred to drive over thurr only cuz the last time i had gone, on the way back thas when i gotten into my car accident! Cuz the way i take to SOL, thurrs always so much traffic down thurr.

Oh man, its 11am already which means i gotta do a rush blog then head over to the SRE office for suicide skit practice. Ahh life is so hard, aww kawawa me! haha yeah right im joking bout the whole life being hard. haha Life isnt really hard, its only you the person who can make it so difficult. Anywya, so my throat is still pretty sore, im praying that it gets better soon. Though i did sleep really well last nite. It was soo nice, up until burr came into my room and jumped on me, waking me up! agh stupid burr! haha I felt so relaxed and warm and juss wanted to sleep.

Yesterday i had gone to confession/mass at sPc. I like fr. andrew, i always go to him now for confession. He's pretty d0pe, and gives you some really good advice, So next time you have to confession at sPc, go to him. Though its always hard to tell whos in his line cuz its outside behind the glass doors. Like one time i was waiting forever cuz it seemd like all these people were cutting in front of me! Its not like i could really say anything either cuz mass was going on at the same time. Ha imagine if i made a scene, oh that would be something. agh you cutted!!! agh, no i was hurr first!! agh go to end of line! agh, no youre dumb! agh no now imma have to tell father! haha

After confession i had time to kill before meeting up for lunch w/grace. So i went home and watched my soap. haha Then went to the lbtc for lunch w/grace and her friend rachel. I havent gone to the lbtc in forever, its seems thurrs more stuff then before. We went to this japanese/chinese buffet. IT was really good, except they charged extra for soft drinks! booo!THey had a wide variety of sushi, then most places. The music was like chinese music or something so it sounded like i was on the ride 'small world' at dineyland. Lunch was fun, maan grace could eat! She out ate me and her friend rachel put together! haha She said rachel and i were not good buffet eaters. haha We were cracking jokes on rachel and her 10 o clock curfew. Thas crazy, she's 18 and has a 10 'o clock curfew. WE asked her if she has one of those time clocks inside her house. Like she has a time currd that she punches in and out. hahaha Then grace said, 'when i turn 21, i want to go a shooting range.' Then rachel asked, 'wha do you do over thurr?' hahahahh

After lunch went home and took a nap before planning to go to St. LUcy's prayer meeting. So i went thurr and praise God cuz their community is growing. Gail gave a talk bout prayer, it was good. SHe's got good speaking skills, thas probably why shes a comm major. neeeyooww! haha She hardly ever said 'um' or the word 'llike' or mumbled her words. So good job gail, that a girl! hahaha
Fred and i were throwing questions to try and test her! haha fred said it is said that singing is a prayer also? And then when you dance its also a prayer? haha Then i said how come other people who are not catholics dont do the sign of the cross. Does that mean theyre not praying? hahah

Afterwards, the jfish and his pal fred show rolled along to cal bowl for bowling. It was fun i think im getting better or slowly improving. Watch by spring time and summer oh boy you betta watch out! With anything practice makes perfect yo. The more practice the better youre gonna get at it. Well thas it for now i must be going to suicide practice. I mean suicide skit practice, ha suicide practice, can you imagine?! haha

LAter on i charisse called me for our daily check up and daily routine talk. It was so funny earlier in teh day we were emailing each other back and forth like as if we were pen pals. So in one of my responses back i said hey this is kinda like that movie 'youve got mail.' Like weve never seen each other, but we communicate through email! haha it was fun, let me show you one of the emails she sent...oh this was only a joke, nothing of this is really true. haha

Dear Jason,

I'm so glad to have met you! I have never been to America before and hope to visit there some day. But before I can leave the Philippines I'm going to need a green card. Maybe you can help. Also, we are very poor and I have never been to--what you call--a dentist before. But I still have about 4 or 5 good ones. I used rice to stick the rest of my teeth to my gums--when rice dries it hardens. Maybe you can take me to the dentist when I go with you to America. Also, I will need some new clothes. All I wear are the skins from the carabao. But these skins are about 9 years old and when I scraped my elbow the fleas in my carabao skin laid eggs in my scar and now I can't move my arm. Maybe if you send me some money in the amount of 1,000,000 pesos I can see a doctor. Please take me to america soon, but first send me money.

I responded back...

dearest charisse,
the thought of you wearing carabo skin juss tickles me to death. Mi amor i would do anything to make sure i have you with me. Each nite, i look at your picture next to my bedside and i juss sigh. I wish you were here in my arms, we could be snuggling next to the fire while drinking red whine. i hope you like red whine. well it doesnt matter. ALl i know is that soon you will be hear by my side. Iv e been working out everyday thinking bout you. i would hold you in my arms and release your fears. Soon you will become my wife and no longer my girl. Until then youre in my heart! you are my mahal!


Ha pen pals are so much fun!

"THough im missing you, ill find a way to get through..."im done, im out God bless!

"The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place..."

Ever since i woke up wed. morning ive felt this sore throart, as well as mild stuffiness. My body's letting me it needs rest. My tounge is pasty white color, it gets like that when i have a cold. I really need to push myself to go to bed earlier during the weeknights. THis way i dont get real sick and i give my body the rest it needs. I think that nap did it for me yesterday, taking that 1 hour nap messed me up. Oh well, Praise GOd for sufferings cuz its through them we become closer to Him. I really love that quote in regards to mass and suffering that St. Pio had said. I love the saints, dont you?! haha THey have the best quotes that have so much meaning to them, its wonderful!


I didnt achieve my goal of going to mass errday, though i did go thrice out of the week, counting that im going ot go today also. NExt week ill try getting to mass errday, cuz i gotta receive my daily bread. To fill my body w/his holy presence. YOu know it never crossed my mind until i read it today, but Mama Mary endured a lot of pain and suffering in her lifetime. I mean to asked to carry the son of God inside her womb w/o exactly being murried. Thas like captial punishment back then! On top of that to walk/sit on donkey for thousands of miles and then to have the birf of our Lord in a manager. Then, later on watch her son get beaten, mocked, scourged you name it, she watched it. To see her son she loved so much die on the cross for the salvation of man. Despite all the pain she went through, she never once complained. Wow!

Skool was aiight, my lit class instructor is letting me turn in the hw on mon. Praise God for that cuz the hw was a little confusing. I really dont like critically analyzing things unless its something that pertains to my interest. THough it was pretty interesting today when we broke down the whole short story. I found out that every word in a short story in literature has a meaning. That each words specifies something and that all those words didnt juss come together for no reason. Critical thinking is a lot of thinking haha, it requires me to be in a perfect calm, quiet area to focus. Cant wait to do my homework, now. Oh joy! Im so retarted i was sort of rushing from home thinking class was @ 11am. Took me a while to find parking, but praise GOd i found it. I was even able to park in those wicked parrell parking spots too and i made it! yay!

Work was coo, went to the market and got all my cooking supplies. The kids had fun making it and i did too. It was that dish my mom made for the spirit games meeting. I had received a lot of positive comments on how good the dish was. Even the city manager walked to my office to compliment me. THat was tight! Since i had to work till 830pm, i thought id be able to concentrate on doing hw. Ha yeah right, thurrs too many distractions going on thurr. Thurrs music playing, kids yelling, tap shoes tapping. SO to sum it all up, work was fine. I was going to go to the happy hour but i figured even if they were still thurr @ 830pm, most of them wouldve gone home within the next 10 min. I juss decided to stay home and chit ctat.

I got a email from crystal regarding next month;s meeting. Wow its gonna be hardcore, shes hookin up her wireless internet lap top to the projector. THis way the notes will be able to be typed for all to see and be able to be sent out right away. ON top of that she's providing all the good and drinks for us. Praise GOd! Then sehs gonna have like greeters to greet us and make sure our visit was hospitable and pleasnt. WE talked on the phone for a bout 45 min. shurring ideas, and talking bout spirit games stuff. After talking ot her, i felt inspired to call errone else on the committee and see how theyre doing. I think as leader you need to check up on your people. So i think over the weekend if i dont see them ill call them juss to check up on them. To me its always nice when someone asks how youre doing.

Then i had a nice long phono covo w/charisse before uprm council meeting. I think a lot of people are starting to feel the devil hit. THough like i told charisse, we arent gonna juss give in. We gotta fight and defend our church or else evil will sleep through it if were not gonna take curr of it. THe devil will hit hard cuz thurrs is juss too much going on. All these things that are coming are bearing the good fruits of good. Man when im sleepy i can figure out my thoughts. AHh i need rest, uprm council went well, praise God. Annd sccccceeennnnnnnnnne!


Praise God for living w/the communion of staints hurr in earf!

"WHenever i reach for you, ill do all that i can..."im done, im out God bless!

"THe flower does not bear the root. The root bears the flower. The rose is merely evidence of vitality of the root..."

I juss came back a bit ago from hanging w/my liwanag family. Yay! im in a liwanag family, inside the community they have small mini communities or families. I guess juss a way to get to know each more intimately and to build bonds/relationships w/people you may not know. My family is called, 'Shepherd's flock.' Which is funny cuz its a cross between SH music min. 'Shepherd's Voice' and the formally known group 'Lord's Flock.' haha There's about like 7 of us in my family, leo and angie are in it. We went to chill at the taps on the jambz. It was funny cuz a lot of the convo that took place was bout skool. While waiting in line to purchase my drink, kathee's sister told me to go in front of her cuz she wasnt ready. She said to me, 'im still deliberating on what to get.' haha neeeyyyyooow! Thas uci for you, home of the academic scholars! wow

ANyway, i had the hardest time waking up this morning. I was up all nite talking to grace online till like 2am. THough it was a fun convo, she works w/elementary kids who have emo problems. SOmething ot that extent, wow i thought my job was tiring. IM sure thas even worse! I can only imagine wha kind of kids are in that type of place. So anyway, were meet up for a late lunch on fri at the lbtc. Its been like 10 years since ive been to that place, no im exaggerating, but it has been quite a while. I love making friends and meeting new people, its the greatest! So thas whas on the agenda for this fri. Im probably gonna go to their charasmatic prayer meeting that nite too. There is juss too much going on these next two weeks.

So my part II story bout skool, i had my bio class this morning @ 8am. Praise God cuz i found purrking right away. The teacher is pretty interesting, though oh man he was sweating at like 8am in the morning. Im thinking why are so sweating so early in the morning? He had like sweat spots on his shirt and his hair was still wet. I dont know maybe he did a lot of running around before class started. Pretty busy class, but it sounds fun and interesting. ONce again, there arent any real cute girls in class. After bio i had maf and thurr was this girl who sat inf ront of me and she kept flipping her hurr. I was getting irritated cuz her hurr was coming all over my desk!
Agh! i was almost gonna move over to the next desk, but class was almost over.

After class i had a huge break before work, so i ran a few errands then went home. After eating lunch i was tired so i figured id take a nice nap to renegerize myself for the evening. Bad idea! The result of my nap made me real sleepy and tired the whole day through. My eyes were feelin heavy and whoa juss tired. It was to the point whurr i had barely any energy left for the day. Work was coo, went to the apt. complex thurr and did programming thurr. I told my boss that i enjoy going thurr. He told me, 'see i told you the spirit was calling you thurr.' He's so funny he told me today how bout we see if we can invite bishop jamie soto to bless the new community center. haha

I was going to go to mass today at St. Peter but i had to get my books for skool. So i went home and got my books for class. AS usual during the beginning of the semester the bookstore across the street was busy. THough it didnt take long for me to get wha i needed. THe girl next to us was trying ot get her books and her credit card was declined. Ouch! I dindt get to see wha she was going ot do. Went home and tried to get some rest but i couldnt. I felt like i had to be doing something. At about 830pm i finally got up and went to tito jess talk at sPv. Great talk even though i only heard the last half. Praise God for tito jess' class to help those who are not grounded in their catholic faith, understand it better. ANgie told me she's planning to take the class in march. I think that will be a pretty big class, i know charisse is going to take it also. IM trying to get leo to take it also.

I was laughing to myself cuz on the way to irvine, that song 'all by myself came on.' It was juss funny cuz i was all bymyself in the curr. No, i didnt start to feel emo im not all bymyself really cuz GOd is with me! yay! THas it for now, i should get rest for another long day!


Praise GOd for apologetics!

"When i was young, i never needed anyone those days are gone..."im done, im out GOd bless!
"

"

"Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve..."

Wow today was my first day of skool and boy it was a long day today. I started off the morning w/mass and i was so lazy that i almsot didnt go. Praise God that he made it cold enough for me to push myself out of bed and get up. Ahh! im going to miss sleeping in till 9-10am! Actually i should be going ot bed real soon since i got class @ 8am. Anyway, went to mass and it was a great way to start off the morning. Mass was nice, fr. i dont know his name gave a real good homily this morning @ St. I. I like the 830am mass thurr its kinda mid morning ish. not too early, but not too late. After mass got ready for skool then left.

It took me a little while to find parking, but as always GOd provides. He found me a nice front row parking spot. WEnt to my first class which was maf, it was a small class of only 16 of us. I hope they dont cancel or change it to the 11am class. THis is the only class that fits in w/my schedule to take it at the 10am slot. After class i had a this huge break so being the heifer i am and not having a projekt sexy or a projket maui to worry bout i endulged myself at Jack in the box. Ha! I walked over thurr then walked back. I didnt want to loose my parking spot siince i was oh so blessed ot have front row. Came back from jack w/a half hour to kill, so i wandered around campus seeing if thurr was anyone i could talk to. I ran into wendy whom i ahvent seen, talked or kicked it w/in forever. It seems like things are still the same w/her.

THen candance walks through the door and oh man! Double take! She was totally different since the last time i saw her. I had to forreal double check to see if it was her! She told me she had lost 15 pounds over break. She goes its funny normally people put on weight during holidays but i ended up loosing it. Praise God for will power! Before she wasnt fat or anything not even real close to being heavy set. Now shes lost it all, which is whoa! Turns out we have the same eng 102 literature class together. So which brings to me to my intro. to literature class. THe instructor ive taken for like 3 semesters in a row. Very challenging teacehr as far work load and grading goes. But she makes you really learn a lot and helps you grow. Very passionate bout seeeing people for who they are. The whole seeing Jesus in each other type lecture, she gave. Though w/o adding any religous beliefs in it. The class is going ot be a challenge i can say that right now. Ha i sat in the front row, front desk too! neeeeeeeeeyoooowwww haha

In the two classes i had today, there are no girls. Maybe this will be good so i wont get distracted forom dazing off in class. I have one more class which is bio tomorrow morning @ 8am. Hopefully there are some cute girls in thurr, but i honestly doubt it. Most people take classes @ like 0930am which is peak time for most people. Theyre probably be all neeeeyyyooooows inside that class being that its so freakin early in the morning! Agh! i was upset this morning i wanted ot eat waffles for breakfast, but my sister ate them all! agh!!!! So i had nothing ot eat for breakfast, aww kawawa me! WOrk was coo, same ol, watched the lion king and then i started to fall asleep during the stampede part whurr mufasa dies. Aww kawawa simba! I so wanted to take a nice long nap. I was watching my soap today, 'days of our lives' and i found out who the salem stalker/killer is! NOw its gonna take forever for them to catch her. agh!

YOuf alpha was great, i love my group even though at times theyre non responsive. I like teasing jerel and making fun of him. There this one kid abaraham whos in pops group(pops lets swap kids)who is very involved. He's very active and participates in the songs and everything. A while back ago i had complimented and thanked him for his efforts. I was touched cuz our last song was the 'by your side' song. I taught them the actions and the songs and they seemed into it. Praise God! I was touched cuz as that kid abraham was walking out, he was showing his friend the actions! awww I threw out cany again too that i got way back from halloween! hahaha i needed ot get rid of it since i dont eat it.

Prayer meeting was nice, it was great to see nicole and krystal again. Gosh its been forever since nicole has came back to prayer meeting. Let alone krystal too, i remember the summer she brought all her friends to prayer meeting. Those were the days when it was standing room only. We were so packed that there was a point, whurr we thought we were gonna be able to have prayer meeting inside the church. :Sigh: now were a small group again, hopefully that will change by the end of april. Granted the SH congress votes and passes the SH bill 8736 regarding LSS in the spring. So im praying for that. Raymond and anthoneeze came out and prayed w/us also. I didnt expect to see them tonite, but praise God they came out. I forgot theyre rushing for uPrM so they kinda have to. haha It seems were back to the whole mc donalds for fellowship again which is nice. I enjoy fellowshiping afterwards, but tonite i was juss out of it. I think its juss been a long day and well my energy level was decreasing.

Favor to ask all of you, i was sent this email bout this 20 yo guy named matt who has been diagosned w/lekumia. They had originally asked people to send online e-cards to him but juss yesterday alone he received 145! Wow praise God but now theyre asking if anyone would be nice enough to send snail mail letters/cards juss to help the guy. As catholics, thas one of our corporal works of mercy. To help the sick, so matt is sick and needs our prayers and help. Even if you dont know the guy, send him a card and even maybe a prayer card or rosary to go w/it. Im sure if that was you even if you didnt know people youd still want their encouragement. In fact i sent the guy an ecard juss the other day.

Hurrs is the address:
Matthew Binns
c/o Fr. J. Sichko
P.O. Box 22872
Lexington, KY 40522


Pray for me cuz its gonna be one busy semester!

"Someday when im awfully low, when the world is cold i will feel a glow just thinking of you..." im done, im out GOd bless!

"Where words fail, music speaks..."

Alright today was cool, mass was juss great. Fr. Ed talking bout our spiritual life is like a bird w/two wings. If we wish fly high in our spiritual life, we need two things: Prayer and Penance. If you have one but not the other, its like having only one wing. Like a bird who is helpless on the ground cuz one wing is broken. He was telling the story of a crow he saw while walking one day. AS Fr. got closer the crow didnt move, and he was wondering why it hant flown away. Its wing was broken, and so i thought aww kawawa crow, now its gonna get eaten by some cat! That sucks, its sad to see a helpless animal on the ground.

Back to the lesson, so we need prayer and penance to fly high in our spiritual life. He said americans are not fasting, you have all the others faiths, who know how to fast, except for us catholics. So why do we do penance? Well Jesus said if we dont do penance then were gonna perish. Meaning were gonna go to hell! So, here are three reasons on why we do penance:

1. We are all followers of Jesus. WE are called to imitate Christ in every way, Jesus life was full of penance. During the first part of his ministry he fasted up in the dessert for 40 days and nites.
2. WE have to do injustice for our sins, its kinda like we either pay now w/penance or we can pay later and suffer the consquences of doing that.
3. The more youre willing to suffer for the salvation of souls, the more you will be able to help bring eternity to. Are we willing to suffer for a loved one?

We must compare ourselves to the saints, they had one thing that we dont have. That's will power, the Saints had no problem giving up things they didnt need. Will power is the one thing that seperates us from them. So after mass i was checking out some of the xangas, blogs, blurtys etc. I ran across JOsh from yfc's xanga. It was inspiring cuz he talked bout how he went all last week fasting. To lift up the camp core team and participants. It was d0pe cuz each day he gave up something new and different. I told him that his sacrafice helped bring souls into eternity. Praise God!

Im feeling this online adoration, juss viewing Jesus from my computer is great. I reccomend you check it out @ www.savior.org. I think cyril was the confirmation i needed bout spirit games venue. She received from her sister a name tag that said, St. Therese on it. With the name tag came a cross and cermaic plate that had flowers, which said 'confirmation' on it. I guess St. Therese was her sister's confirmation name. I told her my story bout the white rose. In any case i asked the whole committee to continue to pray for the venue and encouraged them to pray the 9 days novena. This way by next month we will all have the same clear answer and there will be no doubts. I love this committee!

Well i found this really d0pe relfection upon the adoration today and it inspired me. So im going to shurr it w/yall. Its from St. Matilda, its juss so wow! I copied it and printed it out and put it on my desk. Juss as a reminder, i shurred the online adoration site w/all my coworkers today also. Thas sooo d0pe!

At the moment of Consecration, I come down first in such deep humility that there is no one at Mass, no matter how despicable and vile he may be, towards whom I do not humbly incline and approach, if he desires Me to do so and prays for it; secondly, I come down with such great patience that I suffer even My greatest enemies to be present and grant them full pardon of all their sins, if they wish to be reconciled with Me; thirdly, I come with such immense love that not one of those present can be so hardened that I do not soften his heart and enkindle it with My love, if he wishes Me to do so; fourthly, I come with such inconceivable liberality that none of those present can be so poor that I would not enrich him abundantly; fifthly, I come with such sweet food that no one ever so hungry should not be refreshed and fully satiated by Me. Sixthly, I come with such great light and splendor that no heart, how blinded soever it may be, will not be enlightened and purified by My presence. Seventhly, I come with such great sanctity and treasures of grace that no one, however inert and indevout he may be, should not be roused from this state.


Skool starts today, agh!

"In the still of the night, i held you, held you tight..."im done, im out God bless!

"You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist..."

As i was going through this evening highlight certain scripture passages i came across one that i really liked. Ephesians 4:7-16, the verse talks bout using the gifts God has given us to build up his church. How we should grow together in faith in love, with Christ being the head and we being joined together at by every supporting ligament with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body's growth and builds itself up in love. Meaning that each one of us must support each other. In order to grow and build the church up we have to work together. This seems to be a lesson that ive been constantly being reminded bout especially this weekend. I think ive gotten to the point whurr that ugliness i was feeling inside has left.

Mass was nice this morning, the second reading was one of my favorites. The one bout the spiritual gifts of the holy spirit. On how each one of us has a special gift, a special talent that God has blessed us with. The second part in being blessed w/that gift is using it wisely. Wisely meaning using it for God's best interest. Which, isnt always the easiest thing to do. In the talk bout backsliding last nite fr. raymond mentioned that if youve been doing real well and you happen to backslide and yet dont repent of your sins. All the righteous things you have done in the previous life will be forgotten. Pretty skurry, but it makes you want to work so much harder in repenting than before.

Speaking of the Fr. raymond's talk, i loved how he said, when you stand in the front, the devil will work on your soul twice as hard. This way you will fall flat on your butt. What does it mean by standing on the front? Standing in the front as far as leadership goes. The devil knows who is really out thurr to bring the kingdom of God to earf. So he is going to work extra hard on those people who are doing his work. Example priests, priests are people who stand in the front line. THe ones that devil constantly attacks cuz he knows priests are very powerful men of God. It only takes one person to be converted. ONce that person is converted then he will be inspired to go out and convert others.

I guess my whole point is as leaders of anything when doing the work of God we gotta be always ready for the attacks. We have to be alert and not sleeping on the job, cuz it only takes one time to be hit real hard and not want to get up again. The attacks the devil will try to throw at us should be expected. We can't say i dont know if i should continue to do God's work cuz im going to get attacked. By doing that youre throwing down your cross and saying i give up. When you give up, youre loosing a soul, a innoncent soul in which couldve been brought back to the church. God equips us w/the weapons we need, St. Pau even tells us that in ephesians 6:10-17.

OKay im tired, im going to sleep now. I wish i had tomorrow off! agh! Oh well, work i shall go to. I wish i was able to go the casitas at St. Lucys tomorrow. BUt thas at 5pm and i dont get off work till 6pm. I want to start like a bible study up, thurr is juss so many great things in the bible to discuss and talk bout. It helps you understand it better also when youre shurring it w/a friend. I had a blast going through my bible and highlighting all those d0pe verses. Oh yeah i got to talk to nicole again today. She might help us out and sing for youf alpha! Oh hooray! Have a great week, errone!


Read your bible daily errone!

"Never wanted to see things your away, had to go astray oh why was i such a fool..."im done, im out God bless!

"Conversion is not a once upon lifetime conversion. Conversion is something that should happen everyday..."

I thought id start off my entry by telling yall something really nice that happened at work the other day. It was bout 30 min before closing and one of the parents whos children attend my program comes in. She hands me a flyer for Tito Jess' talk thas happening next wed. SHe told me she was juss at St. Joseph's book store and thought id be interested in the talk. I told her i had taken his class before and i know tito jess personally. I thought that was totally cool juss how she took the time out to promote tito jess' talk. Praise God for catholics in the work place!

The day was pretty busy, one thing right after the other took place. I had gone to bannes for breakfast, she made me her infamous hawaiian grilled cheese rolls. On top of that we had omlett w/kalbasa sasuage w/cheese. It was really good, so next time its gonna be my turn for the mini iron chef to whip up one of this dishes for her. Despite the fact i was tired, and was almost gonna postpone it was really worf it. It was good way to start the morning w/a great breakfast. THen i had gone home for a small nap, until charisee called and woke me up. Ha its coo though im glad to help out a sista in CHrist. I guess ti was good she woke me up cuz it was time to get ready to leave for turn around skit practice.

I had gone to LF last nite juss in time for fr. raymond talk bout backsliding. It was a really good talk that had a lot of meaning. Backsliding is like a spiritual cancer that eats away at your soul. In fact like the disease you dont even know you have it. Its like going back to sin. This condition is a gradual, worsening condition weakens our spiritual condition. Frustration, emptiness, discouragement, dryness and laziness all feelings and experiences of backsliding. SO wha are the causes of backsliding? Hurr are some of hte common causes:
1. Lack of sufficient grounding-you cant do it on your own, you gotta get yourself in a community.
2. Love of the world-no closure to the previous life.
3. Temptation
4. Santanic Reception-He knows our weaknesses
5. Persecution and affliction
6. Offenses
7. Breakdown of Spiritual discipline
8. False conversion

With causes there are results of wha happens to us when we fall into Spiritual backsliding.
1. OUr condition grows worse then in the beginning
2. Bondage and oppression-you feel as if youre being controlled
3. Cursing, dissapointment
4. Shame & guilt
5. Spiritual unworthiness-Feel as if no matter how big youre sins are the Lord will never forgive them.

The talk was something i really needed to hurr. The talk was very motivational, it made me realize how really deadly this spiritual disease is. I had asked fr. raymond too if hed be interested in possibly giving a talk later on in the future for prayer meeting. Fr. raymond is d0pe he tells you how it is, but always in a loving way. One of those priests who really currs for the souls he administers too and wants nothing but the best for them. He's got quite the sense humor also. So in conclusion hahaa jk but on the reals, its something that spoke out to me and inspired me.

Afterwards, we had all gone to starbucks at the crossroads. LF is always down for some good ol fellowship after prayer meeting. IT was tight we were all jammin to these ol skool jams errthang from lisa lisa, the go gos to even montell jordan! ha i think the best was the ginuwine pony song we were all singing. Earlier charisse called me and told me bout her answered prayer after confession. We bof talked bout juss working together has become a real blessing. Always good to know that there is someone out thurr walking the same walk w/you. Had a good convo w/anthony bout family and spirituality. Also why he'll randomly bone out while talking online. ha now i understand, so next time he bones ill know why.


And it's coming soon, uPrM turns 2!

"THat is the reason why i wanna spend forever with you..." im done, im out GOd bless!

"Definition of forgiveness: The perfume a flower leaves on the shoe that crushed it..."

I think SH and SOL are probably the only groups ive done to, whurr we can sit down during praise & worship. I personally, perfer sitting down and letting the spirit soak in me. I hate standing cuz then my feet start to hurt and who knows how long you can be standing. Especially, when youre being lead by the Spirit. Oh man you can be standing forever!! ALl the other groups ive gone to stand up during praise & worship, which is nice too. Juss me personally im always on my feet at work and errwhurr else, so i juss perfer sitting down. Ha whur did that thought come from? No whurr really, juss a ranDUMB thought that popped up.

I bummed it out the whole morning, it seems emailing charisse back & forth come into my daily routine. Haha forreal well email each other back & forth about 10 times until she finally or i finally say i have to go. Its almost like our hour long phone conversations. It sucks when you aint got no curr cuz i cant do the things and errands that id liek to do. So the whole morning i did nothing but sit around. Laziness has seem to got the best of my mornings. Especially, when you wake up late in the morning. For me, i like sleeping in but i also like getting up early but not too early. I think ideal wake up time is about 9-930am. The morning isnt completely killed and im juss in time to go to sturrs when they open to take curr of errands.

Afterwards, when my sister and mom came home i left to pick up my sunglasses at work. The past couple days ive seem to have keep forgetting them. Then from thurr i had gone to sPc cuz i needed to go confession. Im the type of person, spiritually that when i fall from grace i need to get back up thurr asap. Went over to sPc finding there was no priests around to hurr confessions. I saw wha it looked like SRE groups instead of priests inside confessionals/offices. I thought oh why?! I have to be some place @ 630pm so i cant come back later on. I sat in front of Jesus asking him to send a priest cuz i wanted to get to confession. After finishing my chaplet of divine mercy, i saw fr. greg walk in. I guess this other guy was going to go confession. Father asks if i need to go to confession and i said yeah! So i had answered prayer!

From confession, i went to rent a video to kill time before 515pm mass @ sPv. I had rented marci X and open ranger. I havent had the chance ot really sit down and watch the movies though. LAter on this afternoon i think i will. From thurr i had gone to 515 sPv mass. It was a nice feeling only cuz i havent gone to sPv daily mass in forever! I told myself i have to go to mass at least once a week. At least on fridays, since i dont got work on fridays. Was able to receieve Jesus once again, so that was great! Saw Tita linda and banne after mass and chatted it up briefly w/them. RUshed home and dropped off the movies, and i was off to St. Lucys.

I had went and checked out St. Lucy's in Long beach the charasmatic prayer group. Theyre juss babies over thurr. Gail and charisse met me up over thurr. It was really d0pe cuz the adult servant leader had a propehcy bout i guess the 3 of us coming to their prayer meeting. She was really thankful for coming out and supporting them. Theyre structure is like lf, especially w/the food part at the end. Yum! Maybe if our community grows real big, we can have food too. Then again maybe not cuz theyre strict on food and we gotta be outta thurr by like 10pm. Anyway, they split up the youf from the adults after the praise & worship session. Charisse started a joint brainstorm session on wha Grace would like to see for her community. Errone kinda put in their two cents, how to make the community grow.

Bof charisse and i agreed, we see a lot of growing in numbers and in the spirit. Im really excited to see the outcome of this community. Theyre all so eager to really grow, which is a good sign. THey expressed how theyd like to have more knowledge regarding scripture wise. To me i think that is juss d0pe. I gave them SH business cards, which totally come in handy. I also told them bout aplogetics and tito jess' talk that's coming up. Which reminds me i need to email grace bout the talk. So i had a purpose to be thurr last nite and it turned out to be real productive as well as fruitful. Praise God! I had offered my assitance into the growing of the community, so if they ever need anythng i told them to let me know. Ha it was funny when the jang, the adult servant leader said her praise report, she said how she emailed gail a couple of times but gail never replied back.

Afterwards, we went to cal bowl for some good ol fellowship. Mark and rolled w/me over thurr, he's like my navigator while in the lBc. He's a funny guy, makes me laugh w/his very open personality. So we got thurr and we had to wait forever cuz they other party was taking forever. Grace wasnt joking when she said she needs to work on her punctuality. Yall know how i am bout people that arent punctual! agh! So anyway, we played 2 games of bowling. Fred had joined us and we turned into a competition. Maan thurrs got be a mike in every community! So the teams whurr, mike, mike deleon and grace. Then on the other side was nem, mark and nem's friend aaron. I had totally sucked butt in the first game, though torwards the end i picked up. So we won the first game, but then we kinda evened out in the second game. Fun times!

So we were hungry after bowling and went to dennys to eat. Well it took them like a 30 min. and still hadnt helped us. We ended up walking out maan they were real slow. It must be a denny's trademark to have sloppy, slow service. Luckily, there was a del taco in the same area, so we went thurr instead. Though the dinning area was closed, so we ate and chilled outside. Some sherrif's came around and they went through drive thru too, but looking at us to see if were causing trouble. Then like 15 min. later all of a sudden the sirens went off and they boned out. Ahh yes i knew i was in the lbc when i hurrd sirens. Towards the end of the nite, mike deleon, grace, nem and i jammed out w/action song parking lot jam. We did it all from making melodies, to builds the faith. Ha oh for fun! i love it!

Well it seems that i wont be going on any time of camps this or next weekend. TOo much stuff going on. Thas it for now, until next time, please keep some of my special intentions in your prayers!


Praise God for charasmatic communities!

"Bob Marley reincarnated, pupils dialated emancipated, concentrated, debated, rated many times..."im done, im out God bless!

"Happiness is not a destination, but a journey..."

I juss finished watching 'Bring it on again'THe movie wasnt as good as the first one. In any case thas wha happens w/most sequels and prequels, its juss not as good as the first one. THough it did bring up lessons on leadership and humbleness. Two qualities a leader definetly needs to have. Other than that it was aiight, im glad i didnt go watch it in the theatres. A movie i want ot see though in the theatres, is 'you got served.' Yeah i like watching those urban type dance movies, even though theyre all pretty much the same thing. That doesnt come out until the end of the month though. Geez, i cant believe this month is over in 2 weeks. Already one month into the new year, 5 months away before white wedding in maui and 6 months away before spirit games.

Yesterday i had lunch w/burr at htb, i had to fufill my debt to him. We make up these weird games like whoever says 'hi' to each other first online gets a point. Then whoever gets 10 points first wins. Well the past 2 times we did it, it ended up being a tie. So no one won and it evened out, this time he won. When i sign on, my buddy list kinda lags coming up so i cant IM him right away. Hes got the advantage only cuz he's like a hawk awaiting for its prey. Point and case, burr won that time cuz i let him win. So kawawa me had to take him out to lunch. They had a lot better selection this time then last time for lunch though.

Work was chill, it seemed some of us were pretty dressed up for a casual day. I got many compliments on my shirt that i was wurring yestreday. Actually that style of a shirt was something i was looking for to wurr on Christmas. Though never was able to find anything like that. I had the kids make brownies w/walnuts, they had fun doing that. Its hard to eat brownies w/o milk. Your mouf gets all gooey and chocloatey until you get some milk up in thurr. Mmm milk and brownies taste the best! Remember those brownie bites! i use to love those, i wonder if they still them at the markets. I could eat a whole package full w/milk!

After work went to SRE, jeanne's class joined mine for a bit. Theyre class is juss total opposite of mine, her kids are a lot older then mine. SO we did this small icebreaker bout right and wrong, since that was wha the whole lesson was about. Then we discussed mortal and venial sin. Talked bout Adam and eve, bout original sin. I felt i threw out a little too much and kept jumping from place to place. THough i juss felt the spirit juss move me and take me over. SO wha was i to do, tell the spirit to stop moving in me?! haha But praise God cuz the class was pretty responsive, which always is a good sign. Then we had a review at the end and i was quite impressed. They did a great job, remember errthang that was thrown out ot them.

Then after they left, i was talking to my class about adultery. Subjects like that are kinda iffy to touch on only cuz i have some kids who are in HS and then i got some kids who are in juss barely in 7th grade. But i tried to put it to them as easy as possible. I told them its like watching stuff in a rated R movie that only couples who are murried should be doing. I hope they got the concept, but the class was very productive. I think its a lot easier when theyre all sitting on one table, easier for me to keep an eye on all of them. Afterwards, i had gone to the blessed sacrament and prayed the 4th day novena and my chaplet.

WE had a nice fellowship at the block last nite, the guy plus, liza and richelle came out along w/angie, jason and leo from liwanag. Man im craving a crunchy roll right now, theyre soooooo good! ANthoneeze called me once they got to the block cuz they were looking for kojis. I had welcomed them out of the skirts of teh ghett0 and into the sun of the OC. Ha i said, 'welcome to the OC.' haha We had a great time getting to know each other, laughing and having some drinks. It was d0pe cuz at first they werent gonna let angie in cuz i guess afer 930pm, its 21 and over only. Well that sucked, so they sat at the edge of the patio and talked to us a bit. Then bout 10 min. later the security guy let angie in. Yay!

I had let angie in on a little secret, secret last nite. It took us forever to get waited on, i had to go in like 3 times and ask to get someone out on the patio. The place wasnt as packed as it was last time. Probably cuz its not summer too. Fred and anthoneeze did karaoke. THere was this ol man who had done i forgot wha song but he did it so well. I had one drink which lasted me the whole nite, im not into the hard strong stuff. I like the swe3t and sour type of drinks. The hard ones dont really mix too well into my system. Arch came too pretty much towards the end and as much as i wanted to stay i couldnt. Got home and was pretty disturbed by an email that i had received.

In fact the email ruined my nite of fun. I was telling julie last nite bout it and it was juss frustrating! agh! Funny thing this morning charisse emailed me and told me she had lifted up a situation i had told her bout in her prayers. She said for some reason she felt inspired too, i emailed her back telling her how angry i was when i got home last nite. I guess the spirit knew i had a rough nite. Well bout the question i posed yesterday, hurr is the answer most people came up with. Basically they all said, 'once youre a priest always a priest.' Though anthoneeze had a slight different one.

I dont know wha is in store for this weekend, my last free weekend before skool starts. Im thinking of going to St. Lucy's charasmatic prayer group tonite and meeting the leader thurr. She has joined the spirit games committee too now, so i think i'll pay a visit. Either that or ill look and see wha else is going on. Seems many people are going away for the weekend, either camps, summits or family stuff. MAybe ill go to LF tomorrow evening, well see wha happens. Well until then, pray for me and for each other.


I love reading Isaiah 49:15-16!

"Could love be so real, and if it is, I will... I'll give you all I have ..."im done, im out God bless!

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies..."

So im gotta take burr out to htb today to fufill my bet obligation to him. I really dont want to go to htb for lunch only cuz they dont have a nice selection. I only like going thurr for brunch cuz they got a better selection thurr. :sigh: But bets must be fufilled, so htb it will be for lunch today. Work was aiight yesterday. I love goign to the park plaza apt. complex on wed. It was so cute there was little kid yesterday who was juss so involved. At the end when i was putting all the stuff away, him another kid who were really small, were carrying one of those carrom boards. Well those things arent the easiest things to carry. I was suprised they were carrying it, but it was so funny cuz they were on each side carrying it. So i told them juss to put on the side of the truck, ha they ended up putting it inside the truck. What great kids! He was helping me put errthang away till the very end. Great kids, they juss need something to do.

I finally got my hawaii reservations squared away. Thanks to aela who take curr of the hotel and ride accomodations for me. Its gonna cost $700 for a whole week, which includes the hotel and ride accomodations and airfurr. So i think i got a really good deal. As the months pass by hawaii is getting to sound better and better. Im excited, its gonna be a great way to get a away and juss relax. Weddings are a great thing! Its like you see the whole congregation of heaven also juss smiling down upon the couple and their commitment to each other. So im gonna pose a question that my boss asked me on tues. He said he had a friend who was a priest before, but then later down the line he felt his calling was not to be a priest anymore. He resigned and then ended up getting murried and starting a fam bam tribe. The question im posing, is do you feel once a priest always a priest? or do you think God could call them to serve elsewhurr later on?


I had spend most of the morning emailing charisse back and forth from work, while watching real world daygo. Which reminds me i need ot pray the 4th day of the novena today. ANyway, it was like we were on the phone talking except juss emailing. haha It was pretty funny, we did that like 12 times before we bof had to go. I think she's a great person to help me when i tend to loose focus. REal world daygo is pretty crazy! I dont think thurss anyone attractive in that cast. But imagine if they made a real world put together of different community leaders. HA! that would be pretty funny. I remember when we were at the mission trip last yurr, jennif and i were doing our own rendition of real world. IT was pretty funny, juss like how we acted out our own dismissed during mike g.'s grad party. HA! the memories...

After work i had really felt the need to go to confession. So i had gone to sPc, and i had gone to a different priest too. I really like that guy fr. andrew i think his name is. I went to him last week and he was a really good priest. A lot different from the rest of the sPc priests, he actually served mass last nite. He sang the whole 'holy, holy...' in latin too for mass, it was pretty crazy! But i really like going to him for confession, his confessional is the one as you first walk in. Right before the glass doors, i was kinda getting impatient last week when i went cuz i felt all these people were cutting in front of me! Though i was able to go, so i guess thas all that matters.

Went to irvine last nite and went to yfc for the first time this yurr. It was pretty fun, it was great seeing all them kats again. Randell's has hurr now, ha its pretty different seeing him w/hurr. Only cuz when i first met him his head was shaved. We had played this fun game called electricity. I think its a game id like ot bring up for spirit games. Our group had won the game yay! Then we had put this puzzle together, the annual winter quarter puzzle. Then leo, mark anthony and i had prayed over ed before he was to lead the praise & worship. Praise & worship was really nice. Felt the spirit moving and i felt peaceful too probably cuz i had juss gone to confession prior. I got to see angie again that foo is hillarious, her and her guru! hahahahahahahhaha oh man i was busting up last nite. Then she had ralph on, i love that smell!

Later on leo, took me out to ihop for a meal. I thought i was hungry, but i guess not cuz i didntr even get to finish most of my meal. I ended up taking it home, it was cool, ha i guess we finally got hang out. Derek came too and so the three of us were talking. Ha it was kinda funny cuz leo didnt that the crystal cathedral wasnt catholic. He told me liwanag did suicide skit for their first meeting. Wow theyre hardcore they go out and buy flowers at the flower shop for the little girl. I really need to make myself over to a liwanag meeting some tues. nite. I love that community!

I guess liwanag is having a 'chill' retreat next weekend up in big burr. ITs only $20, so i may go. When he first told me bout it, i was under the impression it was at interfaith. I told him yeah maybe ill stop by or something, no wonder errone was like 'huh stop by?!' YFc is having their campus base camp too this weekend up in running springs. Thas whurr they had all the furrs and wha not. Thas $30 to go, but i think imma have to choose one or the other. Well see wha comes up during the week. Its too much to be gone bof weekends in a row, but i dont know i may have a purpose in going to bof!

AH yes the work week is finally over! annnnnd sceeeeeene!


Thanks Leo for last nite, i owe ya!

"YOure all i want, youre all i ever needed, youre all i want, help me know you are near..."im done, im out God bless!

"Don't call me a saint - I don't want to be dismissed that easily..."

Wow oh wow, i feel so lazy the weeks i dont have a car. Im juss so unproductive and real lazy. Ever since ive been back to work, i wait for fridays to come. I think being off for 2 weeks was nice cuz i didnt have to worry bout going to work in the afternoons. Oh well i gotta make $$ some how otherwise someone wont be able to go to hawaii this summer. Burr came over for lunch today and we had bahon together at my house. It was fun i fed him teriyaki chicken my mom made from the nite before. After i ate i felt so tired that i wanted to sleep, you know that whole laziness feeling after eating lunch. So he took me to work and it was coo. Pretty chill, real kick back. Honestly im trying to look busy from the time i come in till bout 3pm.

WE watched a bugs life today at work. I dont think ive actually sat and watched the whole entire movie before. Today was the first time, its a really cute movie. IT makes you think is a bugs life really like this?! ha no not really okay, anyway i enjoyed the movie. THough i did kinda fall asleep at certain parts of the movie. I sit thurr and watch the movie and i start to get sleepy. My eyes will start to shut off and on. ha Good thing none of the kids really see me. Man i tell you the kids i work w/are sooo OA. They swear i treat them soo bad! Example today they were eating top ramen in the room. Well they were eating it from the bag, so its not cooked, still hard and raw. I dont know how they could eat it like that. Anyway, i told them they make a mess theyre gonna have to pick it up and errthag else on the floor. Well they did make a mess so i told them to pick it up and they made the biggest deal. They were like, 'Wha am i your slave ja$on?!' i juss thought oh gosh, theyre so OA!

ANyway, i was glad 6pm came so i could go home. I got home rested briefly, then went to SRE/prayer meeting. Youf Alpha was nice, pops gave his talk bout the bible. Im really excited to give my talk! I told my group after the retreat were gonna have a confession party. Meaning were all gonna go to confession together as a group. Then imma get them boba afterwards. I was teasing jerel most of the nite. haha He's a good kid, he takes it real well. Fr. Brennan came and told the kids a couple of jokes. Some of them didnt get it but laughed anyway. I told them oooh imma tell father that you were frontin. That you really didnt understand the joke but laughed anyway. haha They got kinda skurred cuz i got up out of my churr. haha

Prayer meeting was phat, actually it seemed real lively like tonite. PRaise reports juss went on forever only cuz tito tom loves to talk! His praise report bout the 'effin man' hahahahahaha oh man thas something well never forget. IT was great that our friends from Carson and Long beach came to visit. I love have visitors from other communities come and visit us. So big ups to SLY and LF for coming down. I think the de leon brothers are totally d0pe. Mark is so funny, i love it how he always makes an effort to say wassup to me. Mike makes a really good leader. I told him that too that juss watching him last wed. i saw Jesus in him. Cryil and mikee are a great couple, theyre like a mini version of burr and boss lady. So full of God's love and growing together w/Him in the middle of them. I love it! Geez the two of them have visited more communities than i have. We talked bout putting together in SOL daygo trip. Then like spending the nite down thurr.

WEll thas all i really have to say for tonite. Im excited for Holy Spirit sat. to come. I started this year to update my daily organizer. Meaning that ill write something in like wha i did daily errday. Today is day 3 of the St. Therese novena, and day 1 of the Chaplet of Divine MErcy novea. I praise God that he has allowed such a great group of leaders to come together. THey all give so much into Spirit Games. Its like the scripture verse on charasmatic gifts of the spirit. Im so glad has allowed me to work in this committee. PRaise God! Marylou and i are gonna go to yfc meeting tonite, thats gonna be tight!


Thanks SLY and LF for coming out!

"12 AM on the way to the club..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"Only you can create your own happiness. Even if you think someone else can, they can't. Even if it is hard to get up, do it anyway..."

So anyway, as i was saying yesterday before my stupid blog was ruined. Sunday's gospel pretty much confirmed wha i was talking bout on sat. bout doing God's work. I love how St. John the baptist said, 'i must decrease, so he may increase.' Totally humility into doing the work of GOd. I think thas something we all have to remember. In the homily on sun. I learned that we are all equipped w/the gift's GOd called to use, to build up the church. God the father wants to receieve that gift, then pass it on. Be receieved, transformed, and transmitted. Let him begin to finish the work that he has started in us.

I had gone to the youf mass @ heaven sent later on sunday afternoon. Let me tell you how i love fr. joe! He's one priest that is totally supportive in anything a ministry does. Even though i kinda juss met him, great guy. FUll of love, and a great sense of humor. He even heard my confession on his way to the curr one time. I love it! Anyway during his homily he posed a good question. If Jesus was born w/o sin, then why did he need to be baptized? I thought oh thas a good question, never really thought of that one. So i learned the reason for Jesus is baptism was #1 as we all knwo the beginning of his public teach min. #2 this was done all in accordance to God's will. Then lastly, the most important reason was the batptism was meant to wash away the sin of mankind. I thought ahhh now i see!

THen i loved how he said, 'Why is Jesus the beloved son of God?' Because he obeyed the will of his father unconditionally. Wow, thas great stuff. THen even better he went on to say, 'Our mission as baptized Christians, it is to show Christ in errthang we do, to the point people will see Christ in us. Then we have done our mission.' Amen! The mass was great, it was fun doing 'who builds the faith' at a mass! Ha it wouldve been a lot funnier to see the whole congregation doing it. After mass i had met and ran into Lisa marie who is mark and mike deleon's cousin. I thought that was pretty funny only cuz cyril, michael and mike were talking bout getting her and her group St. Paul of the APostle involved. Anyway, she's really swe3t and a very friendly person. We had talked the whole evening bout different ministries, watching the youf in our confirmation classes grow and errthang else. I love how you can juss have some of the best convos w/the people you juss meet.

ANyway, later on some of the kids did the suicide skit. They did a fantastic job for only practicing for a week. They had put so much emotion and effort into it, which any person doing the suicide skits has to do. THough errone does it differently too, they done it the SH way. Each time i see that skit, it only reminds me of myself more and more. GOing through the motions, feeling that whole world revolves around me. Aww kawawa me!!! hahaha I remember hte very first time i saw the skit. I thought hey i want to be in the skit, that looks fun! hahaha Then i was able to be Jesus last yurr for youf alpha. I love it! I totally see the hunger in these youf's eyes to learn more bout the church. I praise God for the young adults, banne, jei franxis, dorthee, michelle, i forgot the other girl's name, glen and all them who play such an important role into the feeding of these youf. These are the people the youf are gonna totally depend on to help them and guide them throught it all. I only pray that the fruits for this group only become even better than they already are.

Later on sunday i hung out w/lf again. THey had a bowling parish fellowship nite. Fred came also, it was a lot of fun. It brought back memories of the weekly bowling sesssions during the summer. Those were great!!! Thas when errone came and met up to chill. I love bowling! Afterwards, we attempted to go to albertos, but they were closed. I had a a wild time in gail's curr on the way thurr. I felt like i was on mr. toad's wild adventure. haha She let me borrow a Cd too, shes tight! yay gail! We ended up going ot dennys to juss kinda chit chat and wha not. Ive gotten to know more and more the lf community this past winter break. CAnt think of a better way to spend break then to chillin w/Christ-centered people.

Yesterday, work was aiight, im trying to find thing to do to keep busy. Its real dead around this time cuz we dont got a whole lot going on. Im still waiting to get my eval too. Agh! had a nice little convo w/the city clerk also later on the afternoon. I like tues. cuz the afternoon goes by faster cuz of the whole movie matinee. I like picking out movies that i havent seen yet too! haha Im looking forward to seeing all those yfc kids again this wed. nite. I havent seen them since geez break time. So it will be fun, im also planning a trip to the big ox sometime soon too. AHh

LAst nite after i got home from work i was on the phone w/charisse till like oh man 740pm. A whole hour and a half convo. Though we always have the funniest convos. I think were on hte phone so long cuz we bof can talk forever. I love how this spirit games collabo w/her and i working together, has also helped us to really get to knwo each other better. Praise God for great friends. After that, i was talking to leslie from SOL and to see how she was doing. Juss making sure she was coming tonite for youf alpha. I really apppreciate her and all that she does to help out. Praise God once again! Then i was talking to my ol boss afterwards bout coming back tot he daycurr. I was kinda thinking bout it, working on fr. to make extra $$ for hawaii. Though i dont know w/all those changes in the company and errthang. Ahh thas one thing i have to really pray bout. Do i want to loose my fridays?! ahh! i guess w/all things you gotta sacrafice.

It was funny later online we had this mini spirit games via chatroom conference. Actually it was real fun, we had lf, SH,Yfc and Log in thurr juss chatting away bout random stuff. Well thurr was a purpose, i asked the committee to start praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy between now and spirit games. A way to unite ourselves in prayer as a team and i juss feel the more united we are in prayer, the better these games will be. Besides prayer doesnt hurr anything, it onyl allows to grow more. So if you would like to join us each day and pray the chaplet that would be great also! After i prayed the St. Therese novena w/Charisse to lift up our venue for the games.

THen at like 1am, Leo from liwanag called me so i was talking ot him a bit. I was up till 2am this morning talking to matt from SCA. It was tight, cuz i got tknow a little bit more about the group and bout himself as well. I figure you gotta get to know these people in your group on a more personal basis if youre gonna be working w/them for the next 7 months. Anyway, SCA is a very Marian-oriented group, which i think is totally d0pe. Theyve been around for bout 4 yurr but on the DL due to the Arch-Diocese of LA and Caridonal Mahoney. OUr convo was very productive i think haha

Like i said i figure you gotta knwo these people better that youre gonna be serving with. I found out that he knows corn, and corn and his friend kevin joined SCA. Looks SCA will have a football team of their own pretty soon! hahahahaha Its funny matt even said it himself, that corn has a lot of homies. WEll at least its good to know that corn is still active in his faith w/something. I know how hard it can be depending on a group to build your faith, then having to leave them. SCA is one community im bout to hit up next on my list. Or lets say im putting a lot of my stock in this community. I guess SCA was suppose to hold this summer's bball tournament. Ha too bad there isnt gonna be anymore bball tournaments! haha I think spirit games is a lot better idea. MAtt is also in YFC like i am! wooo!

Anyway, totally cool guy and im excited to chill w/this new group. Im telling you, you can never have enough friends to help you build up the kingdom of God. In fact we gotta a little project of our going on for now. Cant give you the details, but lets hope that itll work out. haha Well thas it for now, this is one long blog already. I heard LF is coming tonite, that should be pretty fun. I think weve even out the times we've visited each other. I decided today t to try the whole bold face errones name. Trying ot be creative hurr, but its too much work! My arm is starting to hurt from all this typing. Until next time, take curr of yourselves and each other!
