"Nothing can bring back the hour of the splendor in the grass, of the glory of the flower..."

Its coming sooner then i know it. Wow o Wow! Hurrs the flier im feelin it more than the ol skool one. I really want to praise God for cyril and all the hurd work she does for SpiriT games. I really juss love how much effort and time she puts in. She does it so humbly too which is even better. She's always thurr whenever i need hurr, always willing to give her all. I love people like that!

Tell me something, so i was calling the fake ex gf today and oh why does she have to copy me? Wha am i talking bout?! When i called her i got a vmail and it was some girl(who had a real nice voice)singing on it. I thought oh no she didnt juss copy me w/the whole vmail idea. So hurr it is fake ex gf, even though were not together, and ive moved on you need to stop copying me! Haha i know im so putting you on blast on the blog, but really...stop lying to yourself! hahahahaha

Anyway, i wasnt able to sleep in fully again today. I came in to work totally forgetting thurr was a special event. ITs been pretty hectic the past couple days. When one dept. is gone geez, it really makes a difference. Juss like the being purt of the body of CHrist. IF one purt suffers then the whole body suffers w/it. When one purrt rejoices the rest of the body purrts rejoice.

I got into work and i was checking all my mail and i thought its gonna beon busy week! My boss said were working you hard this week then were giving you 2 weeks vacation. Implying bout my trip to hawaii thas coming up, which is a whole other sturry. Praise God cuz my coworker worked my evening shift for me. Actually we traded so imma gonna work for him thurs. nite. So thurs. is gonna be a forever long day at work. The evening shifts are pretty chill though, so its cool.

Jesty came by today to help out w/the commodities, this was the first time we got to interact today. Well actually it was only for a brief moment, i juss showed him wha to do and he picked it up. He told me he did the mobile rec too yesterday, which is totally d0pe. Im sure hes gonna miss the place when he goes away to skool. On sun. before mass he was tellnig me how much he enjoyed working for the city and how cool the kids are. Thas cool im glad he enjoys the job.

So hawaii is a week away and im soo not ready to go yet. Im excited but im skurred ive got nothing packed or prepared. Imma try to go to sleep real early on wed. nite. Then shower wake up and leave for the aurrport real early thurs. morning. Gosh i cant believe how quickyl the time goes. I should sturrt making a list of wha i need to pack. I awlays end up forgetting something oh why?!

Prayer meeting was jam packed, kinda wha it was back in 02. IT was good to see a lot of faces from the LSS thurr. TOnite was pretty balanced half elders and half youf. It was even ol skool set up too w/the churrs in the front. I miss the ol skool way of prayer meeting. Banne told me 'redeeming love' has become the 'who builds the faith' of 02. I rememeber errone loved 'who builds the faith.' Now errone loves 'redeeming love' the actions are a lot less strenous too. We did lualey for warm up and i love that song! I could tell errone was getting a kick out of it.

Then we went to mcdonalds and chilled thurr. Even the newbies came so thas cool. Why even johan from HOJ was able to stop by and pay visit. He even came ot the mcdonalds also. The tribe called king was missing i was expecting them to be thurr, but i dont know wha happened. I tried calling the pops but he didnt answer it. AgH!!

Speaking of that family i have a couple of funny sturries to shurr bout the fam bam tribe. So on sun. after lss was over pops and moms whurr already in the curr. I was running up to them and as i got to the curr pops locked the durrs, so i couldnt open it. BUt...wha he forgot was to take the keys out from the door! haha the foo left the keys inside the door! haha so all i had to do was twist and unlock i was in! hahahahahah oh man i busting up sooo hurrd cuz he was like howd you get in?! hahahahah

Then elijiah tonite was trying to tell jaymee something and he went up to hurr and said 'tita jaymee!' hahaha that was funny, jaymee was like 'whas my name?!' hahah Elijiah said again, 'tita jaymee!' hahahah Finally the third time he asked her he said 'mommy.' haha That kid cracks me up, he's soooo funny. I love the SH babies!

IM tired...so im going to end hurr! oH wait one moe thing, PRaise God for calvin who told me hes sturtting the habit of going to daily mass! I think thas the best thing i heard that! Praise God!


8 more days till hawaii!

"When I spit everybody gotta split like pepper spray..."im done, im out God bless!

"No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin today..."

I realized last nite on the way home from rowland heights im still tired from the weekend. Ha i guess i am getting old now. I think i need one more day to rest up. THough having the day off really did help. PRaise God for that! Anyway, so did you ever have one of those days whurr you wanted to sleep in, or like you were looking forward too after a long weekend. THen you go to sleep and you end up waking up too early. OH why?!

Its going to be a busy week at work, good thing i have only 2 moe days of work. My boss is off for the rest of this week, so thas coo. I get to do more stuff when hes not around. Well he doesnt really hover over me like before but still its nice when your boss isnt around. Im suppose to have new carpet in my room. They orderd a new comp. for my office, so yay!

Oh man i juss thought of something funny, during the LSS weekend. Fred, burr, and i were renacting some pretty crazy current events going on in the world. It was kinda funny juss one them things whur you gotta be thurr to see it. NIni was getting kicked of fred getting smacked by the yardstick too. Ha fun times, fun times! Sometimes us boys come up w/the craziest things to do, but i must say its real funny.

So the spirit mustve really inspired archie to hit up errones blog and make a tag. Wow thas great! Hopefully, he'll be able to become a more frequent online blog visitor. I noticed he tag blogs from people outside the community too! Good job arch, i pray that spirit continues to move and inspire you to read our blogs! Maybe in time sturrt your own too! yay!

YOu know i totally forgot as i was thinking bout all the stuff thas happening this summer that the end of this month im going to YFC Conference. Wha sucks is that i can only go for two days instead the whole 3 days cuz i got stupid work on sun. OH why?!! Work always seems to interrupt my play time...maybe ill juss quit! haha i wish it was that easy. Speaking of work i had this dream this morning that as i was looking at my schedule my boss gave me 67 hours for the week! I dont even know how thas possible but it kinda freaked me out. ha

Anyway, last nite we had another spirit games meeting at SOL. On top of that was also music min. practice for spirit games. IT was good to see errone from all ova again. Then i got to see joyce, wilane, ang, and some others. The meeting was long, but as always it was productive. Were putting together a dance a thon at the end of july. Its kinda wha i wanted a while back ago, a dance w/christian people! haha Itll be pretty tight though i can feel it. Im hoping this help us raise our goal of $3000 were looking into spirit games costing.

Wha i love bout the meetings is juss the laughter. Errone feels real comfortable w/each other and knows each other. Thas tight juss the whole bonding together. I must say through helping putting this together, ive gotten to know a whole lot of people a lot better. Juss the bonds GOd has helped create through this, is juss d0pe. ALl these beautiful souls who want nothing more then the God's will. On top of that using thurr talents to give back to God, to glorify Him through their gifts. Praaisssse GOd really!

I was talking to Chad and it was so funny cuz he goes to me, 'question, i dont know if its juss my community or wha but do you guys ever stay and talking in the purrking lot forever?' Hhaa i sturrted to laugh cuz i wwas like oh man thas juss like my community! I told SH does that too, well stand and talk forever in the purrking lot, till someone actually takes the first initative to leave. He was laughing he goes whew okay cuz i thought it was juss maybe us or something or if it wasnt normal. Haha Thas so funny, as tired as we all are, well sit and talk in the purrking lot forever and talk. Purking lot convos are fun.

YOu knwo wha i think is outrageous?! Is how our very own vice president of the US cussed one of the US senators. Thas terrrible cussing him out w/the 'f' word on the senate floor. It goes to show the characteristics our vice president has. I was watching MTV yesterday and they were showing all these people who are soo agaisnt bush(juss like myself). I really hope he does get reelected. Im so tired of that whole adminstration.

Anyway, on a more positive note, yesterday i saw the two new music videos. I saw the new Kanye West, 'Jesus walks' and 'Confessions.' Both i thought were really dumb videos. I was expecting more out of the kanye west video. Then the usher video he starts off w/a shirt on, then later on in the video he pulls it off and has juss a black tanktop on then ends up pulling that off and ends the video w/no shirt. I thought whas the point of having no shirt and shurring your confessions?

You know my mom is so talented i was realizing that yesterday all the great quilts she's made. She has this folder and puts in thurr all the pics of the quilts she has made for people. Whas coo bout her talent and is that she shurrs w/others. She teaches a quilting class at my work and shes got like 15 ladies in thurr. She really enjoys wha she does too, its like her hobby. Then she puts her trademurrk and personalizes each quilt/blanket that she makes. So at the bottom she'll sew in the person's name and whatever occassion its for. Like bifday or anniversary or christmas or graduations etc.

Praise God for today is the feast day of St. Peter and Paul!

Countdown to hawaii 9 days!

"Then I hope this take away from my sins..."im done, ISDA OUT! God bless!

"With every ending, there is a new beginning..."

So im hoping w/the ending of another LSS, it will help bring some moe of the youf to the community. Were gonna need them to take over SH when we leave, being SH has a rep. of being old. Surely the presence of the spirit was in the hall this weekend. During the partcipant testimonies it was a blessing to hurr how much they got out during the weekend. ITs always sad to clean up after an LSS cuz well as janet said at the end of her song, miss you much, 'is that the end?'

Thursday, mostly errone came over ot practice one last time for the suicide skit. It was cool cuz we did inside the purrking structure, now thas creative! haha PRactice was actually pretty fun, hurring the echo to 'turrrrrn around, every now then i get a lil bit lonely and youre never coming around...turn around bright eyes' Finally we ended up getting out at the last practice. HOtel staff i guess didnt like us playing around. THough it was pretty fun!

Friday came and it was a pretty busy day. Trying to get some last min. LSS stuff done. Actually i juss kinda spent the day at burrs, who gave me hurr cut and made me omlette and mud pie cake for me. Then we went to the bp mall and went to alllll these sturrs. Actually i fell asleep thurr as he was watching friends second season.

Went to mass @ SpC @ 630pm and then headed over to sPv to see if fr. paul aka pizaul would open the hall for us that nite. He felt uncomfortable doing it w/o fr. kevin's permission. So i waited for fr. kevin to come out from this fri. nite group. WEll this one family comes up to me as im waiting and asks wha time fr. kevins thing is over. I said i dont know so then they asked if i could go get him. I said well you can hes in there, then they said, 'well we dont know him. ITs an emergency.'

Hurr i am thinking its life or deaf emergency, so i go in there and told him some people want to talk to him its an emergnecy. He got up real irritated cuz no one wants to be disturbed. So i was listening behind the corner to see if it REALLY was an emergency and it wasnt even close to one. THeyre juss complaining cuz fr. ray was pissed at them cuz they missed their wedding reheasal appt. so he wouldnt let them do wha they wanted. I said agH!!! thas not an emergency theyre juss being OA cuz fr. ray was pissed at them.

From then on i was too skurred to even ask fr. kevin to see if he can open the hall for us in the morning. ANyway, i guess since he was gonna be sayin 8am mass he opened it up for us. WEnt to aelas for some real good soaking prayer and mediation. PRaise God for His spirit present in the room. Praise God for some really inspiring messages from Him. Praise God for all around great soaking prayer.

I didnt leave till almost 2am, then i couldnt even find purrking at the hotel. AGh! I had to purrk all the way around the corner at this other hotel then walk from thurr to my room! agh!!! I was watching tv for a little bit then i gradually fell asleep. Woke up el juego knocking on the door to get in. Apparently the key he had didnt work.

WOke up bright and early @ 6am to get ready to check out and get stuff packed and ready to go. Got to sPv on time ready to for the day. PIcked up a couple of the kids and then they were able to help w/the day. So the first day went well, its awlays exciting to see whos out thurr. Hoj came out to support and that was cool. Christy was thurr the whole weekend to help out as well. I always end up w/the quiet groups, the ones who people dont like shurr much! agh!! It makes group timing a lot longer.

The talks were really good, though i must say i was falling asleep towards the end of the day. After we all went to the cerritos mall to eat and walk around. I was so tired i dont even know why i went ha i really juss wanted to go home and sleep. It was fun though, i saw cici thurr. As always you always run into someone you know at the cerritos mall. Went to the burrs house later on and played two rounds of hol em. I always get crappy currds. I left early cuz i couldnt function anymore and juss needed sleep. I was out by 1030 that nite.

Woke up really sleepy on sun. juss trying ot make it to church. THen i had to pick up one of my other kids who lived at lakeside. I guess thurrs two entrances a guest and a homeowner. The directions i had went to the homewoners side. So i called her and asked her to walk to that side cuz i dindt know how to get to the other side. BEsides i was on a time crunch so we can get ot church. Got thurr w/juss enough time to spurr. I must say i was really dissapointed that my kids who went yesterday didnt come today. In fact im so dissapointed imma tell them they aint making thurr confirmation this yurr cuz they didnt go to 2nd day lss. Yesss!!!

The rest of sunday was touching, as always w/the baptism. I was caught off gurrd cuz i thought it wasnt gonna happen till after lunch. So i was a little bit unprepared. AS mike and i was praying over one of my kids, i heard him receive the gift of tounges. I started to get a headache towards the end but i was juss trying ot ignore it. I really felt the spirit of one of the kids in the group open up. During the praise & worship, i saw him w/his hands in the air surrendering. That was cool.

The adults were even feelin it! haha I really praise God for our elders who really helped out a lot this weekend. Even with them juss being thurr showing thurr support. Tito tom told fr. pizaul on sat. how he was thur when the group first sturrted and how proud he is of us on how much its grown. That meant a lot to hurr that. Our elders are the greatest! Really theyre so supportive w/whatever we need. Willing to give and lend an extra hand. Praise God for tito tom, tito cora, tita lovie, tita emmy, tita stella, tito jess, and tito raul.

During clean up i got tied up in cling wrap. THen i couldnt get out actually i was real dizzzy. Afterwards we all went to savio for adoration to say thanks to Jesus for a great weekend. Savio is juss a nice church, its really nice. THen afterwurrd went to eat at world buffet. Its okay i perfer asia buffet. GOod times w/the community and juss bonding together.

I was talking to julie last nite online and we were bof talking how the spirit was really thurr for all the weekend events. It was cool how chris from SOL texted us(the Lft SHers) to tell us they(SOL) was prayinig for our LSS and to pray for thurrs as well. So i told julie how d0pe that was. Juss being purrt of that mystical body of Christ. She told me she had lifted up our LSS in her prayers over the weekend. Juss as we lifted up all the YFC camps taking place too over the weekend.

Another thing thats so cool is juss how communities have really gotten to get to each other this yurr. Throughout this past yurr even more so now during the spring-summer days ive really felt a spirit of togetherness. Communities working together, supporting each other, helping each other, getting to know each other, and most of all praying for each other. To me thas what being part of the 'Body of Christ' is all bout. 'For we are his handiwork, created in Jesus Christ for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.' Eph. 2:10

'Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligamnet, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body's growth and builds itself up in love.' Eph 4:15-16

ANd this is wha we have become...
'One body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one Faith, one baptism; one GOd and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.' Eph 4:4-6

So praise God for a really good spirit filled weekend. Now thas over, next is hawaii then spirit games. Wow the summer has juss begun...! Praise God im off today so i can recooperate from the weekend. Yay for day offs!


Scrolling Marquees really can capture people's attention!

"Since happiness is nothing else but the enjoyment of the supreme good, and the supreme good is above us, no one can be happy who does not rise above oneself..."

I spent the morning before working sitting w/Jesus. St. Polycarp had thurr adoration yesterday. I really love the location of thurr blessed sacarment, and juss how you can sit sooo close to him. What even makes it even better is thurr mural in the background. I love it! IF you ever get the chance pass by that church. YOull see why i love going thurr when i can. So PRaise God for adoration at nurrby churches. Then tomorrow is sPv's adoration yay! Makes it twice in one week.

Last nite i told burr i wanted to feed him to chubbs. Too bad i dont got a pic of mike g's dog. I dont really know wha type of dog he is, but its a rufless type. He kills and destorys errthang in site! haha he even killed an oppossum once! ooOh hows that for your average house dog! hhaah so i said, come hurr chubbs i got a burr to feed you! hahahahaha chubbs would love burr meat! hahahahaha

PRayer meeting was great cuz a lot ol faces came back, why even we SH saw the return of reirich angeles at prayer meeting last nite. Its coo how errone knows SH is always available for them. Meaning how were thurr errtues. and they know that. So whenever they have the chance they know they can come back and feel welcomed. Thas the essence of a great community i think. Praise God! Im getting excited for this weekend to come, yet a little nervous. Actually more less anxious, and jittery at the same time. Ahhh i dont even know if ill be able to sleep fri. nite!


Im excited to go to my hotelsuite for the rest of the week! Yay! I cant wait! agh my sister was in it since sun. and i hope seh didnt mess up errthang make it all dirty. She's the messy one in my family, shes unorganized and agh! SH is gonna come to my hotel and imma give them the room key, we still havin an after purrty checking out 6 in the morning 6 in the morning!

So much to do still and yet so little time. Im looking for that font called, 'Andy.' I really need it, i once had it but i lost it when i had to reformat the computer. If any of yall have that font can you holla @ me and let me know. Thanks! Gosh 1 moe day of work and im off till tuesday! Yess! Something tense is going on around work and no one knows wha it is. Errone is real curious to know too, something happened mon. nite and then yesterday morning all the dept. heads went to my directors office for some meeting. Somethings up...hmmm

MAde it late to mass yesterday, tuesdays i think i gotta @ 8am or 830am cuz im rushing to get out work. Tuesdyas are moovie days and sometimes its hurrd to get out off right @ 5pm. We watched that movie looney tunes back in action and it was pretty good. Went to mass and fr. grace talked bout how we have to talk certain way to certain people. HOw you can preach to errone in the same way. HOw you gotta pray on which way to approach and talk to that person. He said it took him quite a while to get use to the preaching style hurr. THen met up w/fr. paul and talked w/him for a bit.


3 more days till LSS!

"Just when I thought I said all I can say..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Thanks for playing, banne and joyce! to errone else who didnt play...you suck hardcore joke joke joke! Be on the look out for the next version of 'WHO AM I?!'

Im excited for this wednesday to come, for my some wha mini-vacation. Im really looking forward to trying ot relax and juss a chill a lil bit. I wish i had the time to go check out the place and see exactly wha im in sturr furr. I hope they have one of those nice spa bathtubs or the ones that walk into the shower. I remember when we went to hawaii and our timeshurr was phat! Forreals, they even had like speakers all around the room w/a vcr an dvd player too i think.

Today was a nice day, it feels weird going into work a lot earlier then before. THough the benefit is getting off an hour earlier then i use to. So now imma be going to 515pm sPv mass rather then rushing to sometimes make to 630pm mass if i miss the 1215pm mass. ANyway, work was coo i was kinda worried i wasnt gonna get any kids. Today was the first day of summer programming. USually the first week is real slow & kinda dead. THough God provided me w/7 kids today! yay!!

One of my parents made me these english type meal. Its like a potpie sorta, a oven cooked bread w/meat, potatoes, and carrots in it. I added a lil salt and it was perfect! Earlier one of the kids' dad came by to tell me thurr mom was coming to pick them up later. So he then tells me she wanted to talk to me, he hands me his NOkia 6820. The same type el jugeo has but the size of my phone. IT also has a camera on back! Really nice one!

I was browsing the nokia website and i came across a nokia flip phone coming out! OOh! i cant wait to those come out, ive awlays wanted a nokia flip phone. Though im sure those phones are gonna be real expensive. AHh yes i am happy w/my phone though. Its nice and small, it has the speaker phone too which i use all the time! Maybe thas why my battery dies down fast. At any rate i want a nokia flip phone

I talked to an ol coworker of mine, i love those catch up phone calls. YOu know the ones whurr its been quite a while since youve spoken to each other. THen when you do talk the convo is like 2 hours long. Yeah those are great! It was nice catching up w/her and juss chit chatting bout ol work stuff. She was one of those coworkers who you could always get along with. Great person to talk to and juss all around friendly. It was fun cuz we trusted each otehr and had each others back.

Went to pray w/the community for LSS. IT was great, did the rosary, had the washing of the feet and good prayer. I can feel us growing closer and closer together through prayer. A lot of messages bout light was given to me. Anyway praise GOd for good prayer and fellowship w/the community. I think if thurrs anything we need right now it is to bond in prayer. THe more we bond as a community in prayer, the greater success the LSS will be.

Thurrs adoration @ Polycarp today, i think imma leave home earlier and make a visit thurr. Aint nothing like sitting in front of hte blessed sacrament let the rays of His sun soak in you. I love how you can be soo close and up right thurr in front of him @ Polycarp. Thas wha i love bout thurr church, its still ol skool fashion. It helps you really appreciate the inner beauty of the church.

Please continue to pray for us and pray w/us as we prepare for our upcoming Youf and Young adult LSS.


4 more days to go!!!

"We like the cars, the cars that go boom..."im done, im out GOd bless!

So as you can see, myself along with other SH members have been promoting our LSS on our blog! yay! Come check out Servant's Heart's YOuf and YOung adult life in the spirit seminar.

Bring your friends and family cuz its going to be an unforgetable weekend.

I remember my first LSS two yurrs ago, ive only been in the renewal for 2 yurrs, but it feels more. Gosh, i can totally visualize that whole weekend, so much i got out of it. Granted i was already in the community at the time, it was way for the community to really bond. The talks were very moving. Then the baptism in the spirit...oh my never felt so relaxed until that moment. Whenver some one lays thurr hands over you, i always feel soo at peace. It felt like Jesus kneeling right in front of me holding my hands telling me how much he loved me. Praise God!

Then the LSS after purrty at applebees, will always forever be etched in my mind. Whenever i go down beach and i pass by that place it always brings back memories...:sigh: actually anytime i see a bjs it brings back memories...:sigh: again haha Thurr are juss some memories that you will never be able to forget. Wow all those memories are suddenly rushing back haha...time to move on...

Friday i spent the whole afternoon pretty much working on summer lesson plans. Something i totally put off for the past month and a half now. Yeah i know im really good at procrastination. THough it ends up stressing me out in the end, i dont know why i do it! Went to lunch w/the fam bam tribe @ that imperial burger on lincoln. The first time ive been thurr its really good. Its like a low budget hole in the wall paul's place.

Went to work and i was right the place was dead. We had like 14 girls the whole entire dance. These were like maybe freshmen or 8th graders, who probably had nothing else to do. Or probably didnt get invited to any grad purrties. The funny bout the dance was it was all girls who came. Not one guy showed up to the dance. We ended up obviously closing the dance early. Which led me to get off early yay!

After work went to catch up w/errone else at the mejias. I was able to get to hurr the tail end of the LSs talks. Hurring all those talks is really getting me excited for this weekend. Man i hope a lot of kids go, i know weve gotten a lot of older adults to sign up. I juss hope we get a lot of actualy youf and young adults. I cant believe how fast it came! IT really crept up from behind!

SO all the guys were outside and it was so funny we were making up these different songs and we were remixing them. It was pretty funny, i guess one of those things whurr you had to be thurr. ANyway, fun times once again w/the community yay!

Saturday i woke up @ 6am to get to UCI by 8am for my cousin's grad. It was a nice ceremony but juss long. If you know me i cant sit still for long things. After they called her name i started to fall asleep cuz thurr was soooo many other names. ANyway, so afterwurrd i was looking for my cousin then i ran into all the other uciers that i know. Took pictures did that whole shin dig then went to asia buffet for lunch.

The laker girls whurr @ the bP mall and were signing autographs. Ha i got one for fred and burr. I guess those churrleaders have nothing better to do w/thurr time now. The ones that whurr were werent cute, but i did see one in the picture that was wow!

Went home burr came over and helped me out w/a favor i asked him. SOo much traffic on the freeway! Then came home for a moment then went to make LSS fliers at work. From thurr went to boss lady's birfday suprise. Yay! she came in really suprised, ha i think she had the same type of unexpected reaction that i did during my purrty. It was fun though, lots of good food. POps and i had a good convo bout ol skool currtoons. Did you ever notice how they make female cartoon characters to be so butcH?!

Then we were talking bout how in that cartoon 'captin planet' you could hardly understand the asian girl when she said 'water' cuz of her accent. Haha 'Waaaattaa' then the rest of the kids are like huh?!!! Then captin planet cant be made cuz he doesnt understand then the earf becomes a dump oh why?! hahaha Then we were talking bout how the kid who had the 'hurrt' ring was always emo. haha I know we were totally analyzing this curtoon but it was funny.

PLayed mr. bear story w/the kids which they wanted to hurr over and over again! haha Leilani is so funny she remembered all the important stuff that i told in the story. She had a really comprehension, it wasnt a 'blurr' to her! haha Then ended the fun filled nite w/magic mic praise & worship edition w/banne. I sang 'by your side!' haha i dndt know they had it on magic mic! I even did all the actions while i was singing it too...oh man oh man

Sunday woke up for mass helped pass out LSS fliers w/aela after 8am mass. Ive been tyring to get a hold of fr. paul all last week but hes hasnt returned my calls. Hmm maybe hes been real busy...anyway so i went to mass and fr. brennan a really good homily bout wha it means to 'take up your cross.' Passed out fliers after all the masses except 12:15pm. Ran into a guy i went to hs with. I had remet him when i had went to jay the bankers bible study once.

ANyway so it seems as if the guy is practicing two different faiths. He goes to mass @ sPv on sundays, yet goes to the protestant bible study on fridays. So i ran into him today and i told him bout the LSS. Im hoping he'll go and check out he seemed interested when i shurred w/him bout it. Imma follow up w/him later on this week.

The fam bam trible came over to mi casa today. We had good times! I borrowed boss lady's magic mic and oh man they went crazy over it! haa So i dont have a real trendy i guess typical filipino family. When we get together, i dont even know how to explain my family get togethers. Its juss always fun...most of the time at least. This was the first time they saw magic mic and they were soo into it! haha They were dancing and guessing wha was gonna be the scurr for the person, it was funny. Praise God for good times w/familia.

So this last portion im dedicating ot boss lady! Yay! i remember when i first met her @ youf alpha season 1. She was giving a talk/testimony on i dont even remember the topic. ALl i remember though is she said whenever people ask wha her major is and she tells them 'recreation' they always ask, 'whas that?' haha anyway, im so blessed ot have such a wow sister in my life. Her and i are like twins cuz she knows how to have fun and knows how to get craazy like me.

She's got a hurrt/puso of purr gold. The one thing that i love bout her, which really makes her d0pe is how no matter wha the circumstances is, she always tries to see the good in people. She always tries to be a light of God's love to others. So boss lady thanks for errthang that you do for me. Im sooo grateful to have such a wonderful friend in my life. When you get murried...K.I.T., J.A.P.A.N. and umm yeah some others that i forgot! haha thanks again for being God's love to me! Yay!!!!

6 more days till you know wha!

"Cause this party ain't a party if I ain't inside..." ISDA OUT God bless!

"The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials..."

Okay so in the beginning i was real doubtful of the number of participants SH was gonna bring in this LSS. Only because its the 2nd to last weekend in june, i know how june is the month of grad. purrties and eerrthang else. I felt highly doubtful we were gonna get the same amount of people like we did two yurrs ago. THough i must admit the tables have turned. Ive begun to feel more confident then i did months ago. In all honesty i think we could a lot more then we did two yurrs ago. Though its not wha we want, its wha God thinks we can handle.

Im sitting hurr and as im listening to miles davis(the same jazz song ive been listening to for the past two days)im imagining myself in like a library type setting relaxed and juss sitting on a bean bag chillin. Relax a word that hasnt quite fit into my vocabulary as of lately. I dont think it'll ever fit until after summer is over. Now im not complaining or anything like that i love my life, i love each and errday GOd gives me, but its my own fault for not saying no to certain things.

So my parents have to use up thurr time shurr space @ the anaheim peacock suites in anaheim. Its a pretty nice hotel ive gone thurr only once when my aunt and her fambam was staying thurr. I dont quite remember all the details of teh place. ANyway, so imma be staying thurr either next wed. to lss weekend or this sun. till next wed. I chose the next wed. but i heard my sister also chose to ahve that time. I dont knwo yet whos gonna get it, but i want it more! haha

Whatever time im gonna be staying thurr i wanna sit in the pool and juss relax. Take a nice time out for a quick min. and juss take a nice deep breath. Oh thatd be tight if they massage tables thurr to get free massages! SO i can totally picture myself in this spa eyes closed arms against the wall and juss listening to my miles davis haha

With that moving on...

I feel my life in a sense is somewhat unorganized at the moment. I dont know really how to explain it. Its like i have the small stuff organized and i continue to organize them, but the major outside stuff its all cluttered and messy. Hmm i dont know what it is, well in the meantime juss pray that errthang becomes organized.

I wish i didnt have ot work this fri. i gotta help chaperone for the teen dance. Now for this one, i think its the wrong time to have it. Majority of the HS have gotten out of skool this week. This is the grad. purtty weekend. Going to grad. purrty after grad. purrty. Coming up late at nite then going the next day to someone elses. I didnt get to go any grad. purrties cuz i went to minn. that weekend i graduated.

These next few days i have a lot to do. I have a whole summer program that i need to put together and i have yet to sturrt on it! Now i could go week to week planning it. THen i juss found out that the other community center is gonna be modeling after my program. So that means i gotta do double work oh whY?!

Talked to charisse tonite on the way home from work. Were like each other's intercessors. It was so weird on my way to work i felt like i needed to call her. THen later on while im on my way to gas up the work truck she calls me and leaves me a vmail asking me to pray for her. I think that happened again recently i cant remember though if it was w/her or someone else. Like ill have this feeling that i should call the person but then i dont and i end up running into them or them calling me.

Went to continuting celebration of june birfdays. First w/burrs, then freds, and now pops. We went to bigs pizza or the ol skool shakeys. It brought back memories cuz that was my very first job. THas whurr i use to work for a whole whoppin 7 days. I dont know if you even count that as a job! haha i hated the place though, i was in churrge of fixing games and giving the kids prizes in exchange for tickets. Then id have to sometimes bus tables, wash the dishes etc. I always came home smelling like bleach and really tired. THen during my breaks id eat mojos and rancH! haha I made up some excuse telling my boss i got a new job working at the theatre as my 1 week notice. haha

I think most people's first jobs are working with food. Whether it be fast food or bus boy at the restaraunt. My friends use to work @ espn zone and although they were only making minimum wage, they were rolling in on tips. Working at food places are yuck cuz its dirty and you come smelling like crap all the time. Agh not my time of flava.

WHen i was reading/typing in todays devotion i was motivated by it. It talked bout having community drama. So often when thurrs drama in the community we want to lash out. We talk crap on those people we have beef with and sometimes we do wahtever we can to avoid them. THough i loved how Blessed Teresa said when were tempted to feel angry or say harsh remarks, hold on to your cross and say 'Passion of Christ strengthen me.'
Something imma try to remember cuz God gave His son the strength to endure the passion. So we ask for that same strength in our trials.


7 more days till LSS!

"You are everything and everything is you sing..."im done, im out God bless!

"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time..."

I was reading to leilani this evening the story of 'Alice in wonderland.' Well when it came to the purrt of whurr she met the White rabbit, i realized im like the white rabbit. If thurrs any character i can relate to, then the white rabbit would be it! So when i read the purrt whurr he said, 'Im late, im late, im late for an important date' i stopped and said thas my life! Always holding on to a watch and keeping track of the time. So i thought that was kinda funny how im like the white rabbit, always rushing cuz i have somewhurr to be. Thas why im excited for hawaii so i can juss relax.

At work we watched that movie 'Miracle' with kurt russell. THe movie bout how he brings the hockey team to win the US olympic gold medal. I wanna use the olympic theme song as purrt of spirit games. I kinda like how that goes, i can hurr it in my head right now. The movie is based on a true sturry and it juss has a lot of stuff on reaching your goals and achieving them.

I juss read something inspiring from St. Teresa of Avila which she once said, 'Even if you are committing mortal sins, keep on praying, and i guarantee you reach the harbor of salvation.' FOr me i hate being out of the state of grace. SO when i fall i need to get myself back up right thurr right away. The first step is getting myself to confession, ahh yes i love that sacarament cuz it does wonders for your soul. Sometimes when you fall into the state of mortal sin its hard to get yourself to pray. THough thas when you ask someone to help pray for you, be thurr to intercede.

A grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt after a tragedy. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.

The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?"

The grandfather answered, "The one I feed."


8 more days till LSS

"These are my confessions..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"There is no saint without a past no sinner without a future..."

By the time i got to fridays last nite errone was leaving. OH why?!Though fortunately melissa stayed w/me while i ate errones left overs. haha how sad i know i know. Anyway, we thurr for like a good couple hours till like 130am talking bout the continuous topic in the community bout relationships. She brought up this quote to me, 'Marriage is a sacrafice, relationships are a compromise.'

Well you should ask her yourself hha cuz i cant explain as well as she did. We shurred a lot of good common ideals in regards to clingyness and being indie but not tooo indie(indepedent). After talking forever we looked @ the time and before you know it was 130am. Geez! Time sure does fly when youre having a really good convo. Then i was shurring w/her some past stuff that happened to me. Gave me good insight on some stuff.

Then backing up standing in the Pat & oscurrs purrking lot talking forever w/pops, moms, banne, and el juego. I finally understood wha fred's tag meant from last week. Im not even going to discuss it juss to keep the waters safe. Saw raymond and christy last nite real briefly. I havent see raymond in ages, and he was whurr shorts and slippers! Ha ive never seen that foo whurr shorts and slippers! haha That was the interesting fact of the nite.

Went to the daycurr yesterday to turr down bulletin board stuff that i needed to do. Was able to get a lot of good stuff to take back to my work. Maan im surely gonna miss that place. Soo many good memories that forever etched in my mind. More i remember whens to shurr! haha So the place will be officially closing today. Awww kawawa day curr! Praise God that i dont gotta worry bout looking for another job. THough in a sense itd be nice not to have to worry bout working too!

Charisse called last nite and we were talking bout how sat. went really well. Better than expected and how it was juss a good day to really get to know people. How great SOL daygo totally spoiled us which was really nice. OUr next meeting is gonna be @ SOL RH whurr music min. practice will be taking place. SOL will be providing dinner for us and errthang else! yay Things are slowly coming together, i cant praise God enough for this opportunity to really get to work w/such a great servants of the Lord!

Work was frustrating w/this little girl tattling on errthang! You know how it is when kids whine and how they nag. Agh!!! I was tyring my best to be patient and kind. On top of all that im trying to organize bulletin board borders. One of the kids told her she cant talk to God until she goes to heaven. Or the girl said if you even goo to heaven! In a sense it was kinda cute but then the little came and was complaining to me. AGh!

I printed out all my blogs for the month of JUne so furr. ITs 52 pages! Dang i guess w/all those pics i put on thurr it made the blog big. I think those boost mobile commercials are hillarious! The ones whurr htey have the old people and theyre talking all slang! haha I was browsing the different xangas/blogs etc. and its funny whos links you come across. I ran into the newly ordained Fr. Francis Mendozas Haha thas funny to read a priest's online journal. In a sense its like watching a show on them on MTV. The diary of fr. francis mendoza you think you know but you have no idea! hahahahahahah

"Cant nobody hold me down, i got to keep on moving..."im done, im out God bless!

Happy birfday to the world's GREATEST PoPs!!!! yay!!

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us..."

Wow today is pops' birfday wha a great guy! i can remember when i first was brought home into the tribe called king home! hahha forreals though pops is a great guy and its such a blessing to be able to work w/a great brotha in Christ. So many might ask why do i call him PoPs?! Or whurr did the orgin of the name come from?! Well one day we were messing around and he said to me, 'boy dont make me take out my belt!' If you ever use to watch the wayans brothas thurr own pops use to say that. So from then on i ended up calling him pops. For those who know me, i have a nickname pretty much for errone.

So Praise God for my pops who's helped me out in difficult times. Given me advice when needed and basically juss lookin out for me. Pops gives the best talks and has a lot of great ideas bout leadership and etc. Its a blessing to be able to get to work w/him w/such things like c-c-c-c-c unit! err i mean life. haha Pops is really coming around to becoming less of a cafteria blog lurkers and more of a blog tagger now! hhaa So today's entry is for you pops! M to the o to the MoIsDa baby!!!

In regards to the "Many Parts" Game, no one won! The eye to SH answer was, no not jay but Alfred Perdito! His eye was the one i took from the background. Many of you contestants juss put 'fred' and the rule was you had to state the persons full first name. Aww kawawa all of you! Thanks for playing and be on the look out for the next one!



So i feel somewha in a sense ive been MIA in SH. Ha i say some wha cuz ive seen some of them. THough i wasnt able to chill w/them all weekend long. Aww kawawa meee! I feel like i havent seen them in like forever! haha I didnt chill yesterday cuz #1 i was still real tired from the whole drive to daygo. All that driving wore me out, #2 i havent been home a lot so i thought id stay home and chill w/the fam bam tribe. You know how that is gotta balance your family life w/your ministry life too.

This weekend is on the ago again, im working on fri. nite for the teen dance again. Then wake up early on sat. to head down to my cousin's grad. @ UCI. Yay Uci! UCi grads are the same place spirit games 04 will be taking place. Alright so imma need your prayers for another special intention. Well thas it for now i have nothing else to say!


GO 10 more days till LSS!

"That’s why I won’t let love go this time..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"Don't worry about me no matter what happens in this world. Nothing can happen to me that God doesn't want. And all that He wants, no matter how bad it may appear to us, is really for the best..."

First off Hap²y birfday fred, may God continue to shower you w/abunduant blessings! THanks for being that light of God to others!

Friday was busy day, preparing all the last minute stuff for the retreat and meeting. Went to make copies at work of meeting agenda and minutes. Then rushed thinking thurr was mass @ St. Paul of the cross @ 12pm. I was under the impression thurr final mass was @ 12pm. Unfortunately, i was wrong and turned out it was in the morning. Aww kawawa meee! So i ended up sitting and spending time in front of the blessed sacarment. Trying to soak in as much prayer before the big day as possible.

Went to the daycurr to say the final goodbyes to the kids. Its sad that the place is closing. So many good memories were spent thurr. Even SH had a memory of its own practicing for youf rally 02 skit. I remember when that van went over the curb and ran into the daycurr. She went through the wall! Ended up having a baracade in that other room for like a month. Geez some of the kids have really grown up. I cant believe how big theyve gotten. Ahh never the less as theyve gotten older, so has thurr attitudes. Some of them have really whack attitudes, oh well. Its gonna be different going over thurr. PRaise God for the good memories thurr.

From thurr i went to 515pm mass. I must admit i was bit irritated cuz mass sturrted like 5 min. late. On top of that it was longer then usual cuz they had these kids from HS who wanted to receive a grad. blessings. Why was i irritated? WEll you know how it is when you have one of those back to back schedules? Right after something you ahve something else? Thas wha i had, i had plans to take fr. paul to sPc right after 515pm mass. Mass didnt get over till like 6pm. Then i had rush over to sPc to be back by sPv @ 7 for another engagement.

Got to sPc and well the person whom fr. paul needed to see wasnt available. So we ended up leaving cuz i went to mass already. Got back to sPv and then father and i were talking forever. So i had a little time to kill, ended up going to wal-murrt to buy some of those peechee folders. From thurr went back to sPv and met up w/cy and mike.

Went w/cy and mike to work and spent a couple hours putting together the folders. Good convo w/them, wha i love bout the two of them is that they always make time out to help you. Cy has helped me out enormously with so many things w/spirit games. I cant praise God enough for her assitance which has been a blessing! THyere juss fun friends to be around.

After that we got hungry and they wanted alertacos. Instead we went to molca salsa. It was thurr first time so i showed them wha molca salsa was all about. Ran into gary and some other western kids thurr. Man i cant believe that kid is graduating this yurr. I remember when the kid was barely going into HS as i was leaving. My how fast time flies! I like those people who despite the fact they may not talk to you anymore, they still take the time to say 'sup' to you.

Came home and i was up till 2am getting last min. things done for the meeting/retreat. Attempting to find a wall paper for the powerpoint. Trying to look for the freakin 'andy' font that i was forever searching for even that morning. I had to make some name tags and well all the other name tags were made w/'andy' font. Unfortunately when i had to reformat the comp. i didnt think of saving the font. Agh well if you know me(as cy and mike found out)im anal. I wanted all the name tags to look the same. I gave up looking for it @ 2am.

At the same time i was putting together the lyrics to send to julie for praise & worship session. Praise God for her who was putting the power point for me cuz i couldnt really do it. On top of that a little worried bout who was going to show up and who wasnt. Yet trying to surrender it all at the same time. Finally @ 2am i was worn out and i had to sleep to be up @ 7am.

Saturday-

Woke up @ 7am sat. getting last min. stuff together. Trying to organize myself for the day. Picked up some lunch at the market since the Lbc people were running behind. HOJ met us up @ 8am @ sPv. Being we were waiting we went to the blessed sacrament to do some prayer. Offering up the day to Jesus for His greater glory. To give whatever was going ot happen to him.

Finally left for St. Michaels in daygo @ 830am. Got on the freeway and forgot to get into the 5s lane. 20 min on the 91e realized i was on the wrong freeway...oh why?! Matt rode w/me and we had a really nice convo. from the time we got into the curr until we got to st. michael's. THen i was having errone calling me asking whurr i was and i was get frustrated cuz i knew i was gonna be late. Speeding trying ot make it on time.

ONce we exited the directions were like really screwed up and confused. Took us about 20 min after exiting to finally get to the church. I felt a little relieved once we got thurr, but i had juss lost an hour of time. Oh why?! once again! When we got thurr they were juss finishing up the chaplet of divine mercy. Got straight into the meeting and then i was distracted cuz i was lookign for my sunglasses holder thingy. I love my spys and i didnt want them to get scratched in my backpack. Then trying to get myself organized at the same time, organizing my thoughts and errthang else.

The meeting went well, praise God juss soo much to get done. One thing we really lack right now is $$. Were looking to this whole event costing $2500-$3000. Sooooooooo for those who love reading my blogs and would like to donate a love offering for this event holla @ me! haha Why so much? As ive said before being this is now @ uci, thurrs more red tape to cut through versus having it @ a parish. So please pray for us that we will be able to find some sponsors.

SOL daygo provided a fan-tab-ulous lunch for us! In n out cheese burgers and fries! I must say they did spoil us over thurr w/2 great meals, a nice continental breakfast, cut fruits for snack, and ending w/pizza for dinner! Praise God for thurr wonderful hospitality towards us that day.

We played two of the games for the day. One of them being a water game. It was really fun and turned out to be a huge water balloon battle in the end! haha What fun! Wha fun! I didnt get too wet, but thurr whrur others who got pretty wet. Mark anthony pretty prepared for the day bringing extra clothes. I got charisse real good w/one balloon! Ha! i accidently hit cy on the neck w/one. All of the balloons that they tried to hit me w/ended up bouncing off my hard chest! haha

Then they tried to pour the left over water from the cooler over me. Good thing they werent able to get me though! ha Thurr was one time mark anthony said 'lets pour this over the winning team.' So i joined up in attempting to pour it over them. Wha happend was he tried to turn the cooler around and for it to get poured on me. I quickly ran from it and was able to miss the waterfall! Yess! Then another time i was taking a group pic and once again mark anthony tried to pour it over me. For some reason my 'isda senses' were tingling and i was able to dodge the water. Yess!

So we all had fun sampling the games and had a great time in fellowship w/that. Jon whos the games minister did a good job planning them for the day. Praise God! Finished the remainder of the meeting and then got into the retreat portion of the day. Sang our theme song 'how beautiful' and i explained the sigificance of the song and how it relates to the day.

Praise God for a combined effort of a great music min. We had this girl from sol daygo play the piano and i had ang and leo on the geetars. THey did really well w/the music being it was last min stuff. Jewel led praise & worship and wow her prayers were very annointed! Great prayers and discernment! We sat down and presented them w/the personal refelction they were going to do. 'How have you utilized the gifts of the Holy Spirit in your own lives? Wha have been the fruits?'

Hurrs some pics of praise & worship...



Hurrs a pic of angie reflecting on the personal reflection...



Came back and shurred as an open forum/group shurring on the question. Praise God for great participation a lot of wisdom shurred by a lot of people. Praise God for the gifts God has blessed us w/and how we use them bring a little heaven down hurr. OH! wha was fun was we did some warm up songs before praise & worship. One of them was lu la ley and we we all got into a circle to do it! haha oh wha fun!!! Then we sang one of my favs. 'who builds community?' HA it was funny cuz some people actually sturrted to sing it the way i sing it! haha 1,2,3 churrrge! hahahaha


Lu la lu la lu la lu ley


Me builds who community! haha

AFter the group shurring we did the 'agape meal.' Explained the point of this activity and the meaning of it. How the first apostles came together in fellowship in the breaking of the bread. Exactly wha we did during the agape meal. We took bread, broke it, and fed it to our brothers and sisters. AS we took the bread we we were suppose to say a prayer as we fed them. That was fun take a look and how it went...



Then we did the last climax of the day which was the 'to notice the beauty in others' reflection. This is the same reflection that we've done twice in SH. Expressed how we are to be the hand of Jesus to do His work and we are to be the heart of JEsus to shurr GOd's love w/the world. That was a great activity, even came up w/the song when we pass the paper...'Pass the paper on mi left hand side...' hahahah

Took a group pic was able to get one of the CFC peeps from daygo to take our pic for us. He was pretty funny...haha Then as always we were all in the purrking lot dancing the 'ocho, ocho.' Mark anthony drove home w/me to irvine back to leo's. Almost got into an accident on the way back. Some stupid curr sturrted to merge in my lane causing me to swirve a little into the other lane. Praise God no one was in the othe lane! whew close call! Had a good convo on the way back, from a long drive! ASked how i got into ministry and shurred w/him my testimony...i still cant believe ive only been active two yurrs.

Got to leo's and chilled thurr for a while being the stupid gas pumps were down. Good times w/ang and leo, its not often i get to talk w/them so i took advantage of the time. I stayed thurr till like 930pm. Then was standing in the purrking lot talking to ang for another 10 min. haha As the motto for pringles goes...once you pop the fun dont stop!

So praise God for a great retreat, of course all the stress and planning was well worf it. I praise God for errone who helped make such a success! Praise God for julie for helping me w/the power point, praise God for myron for bringing his laptop and projector, praise God for cy and mike for helping me w/the folders. Praise God for leo and ang w/the music. Praise God for SOL daygo and jewel for thurr wonderful hospitality. Praise God for my partener in crime charisse! yay!

Some highlights of the retreat...

Who's EYE from SH is this?

Holla Back!

SH: agh! where you are 6 #? you no go soratorios then you no go maui! "yes" - burr
Agh thas a stupid burr tag! Leave me be! haha talk like human not caveburr!

Em: I loooooooooooooveeeee blogs! Thanks Founding Father!
Me too! I loove blogs, i love getting a new link to add on the rest of my links! haha thas always fun!

jme: AW! I wanted to see Shrek 2! And yes, blog cks are super cool!
Shrek 2 is great! i loved it! Lets go watch it again! Yes blogs are great!!!

Elliot: Hmm. Interesting point about printing or archiving your blogs. I think I might try that.
Yeah you should man then you can pass it on to your kids, and then when they start a blog they can past it on and so on

it's hard to move on from things that we love so dearly. when they end, it's like a part of ourselves die with it.
hey, good idea about printing the blogs. goodness... that would take so much space. hmmm... maybe i'll cut and paste it onto word files. dang it, i wanna back up my template too. it may not look like it, but i spend a heck of a lot of time personalizing that thing. -Dorothy
Yeah youre right, its hard moving on. Thurrs a quote that a friend of mine once said, and it went something like...
'Its hard looking back and moving forward but as long as youre happy now things are bound to change.' it went something like that. Yeah print out your blogs, in case blogger gets shut down! haha

burr: agh in the day curr that's where u learned to be a SO!!!! hahahahahaa
Stupid thas a dumb tag

angie: i love that place.
Me too! Dee and i are gonna put up a sign on those doors this summer that says, 'Where everybody knows your name.' I love it!


2 weeks left until LSS, 2 months left until Spirit Games!

"Call my bluff, start acting up, and I'll leave you underground..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"Spread out your petition before God, and then say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me..."

Tomorrow a place that has played a big role in my life closes. 4 yurrs ago, right after i graduated HS this lady(who use to teach SRE @ sPv)offered me a job at this daycare called 'champions.' It was suppose to be a summer type of camp counselor job. I took it cuz i needed a job for a summer and i thought it would be cool working w/kids. I spent two yurrs at that place, the pay sucked big time but the fruits that have come out from me working there is something i praise God for.

I found out 2 months ago while i was thurr visiting the skool district is shutting down this on-site child care cuz the contract w/the company is up. Now thurr putting in a whole new type of different type of daycurr. I was saddened to hear the bad news juss cuz this place has played such a signigicant role in my life. It was there whurr i developed and learn skills on child dev. It was thurr whur i learned what patience was all about. It was thurr whurr i learned what it meant to see Jesus through the eyes of a child. It was thurr whurr i made a best friend and some great friends.

Although many times id come home either extremely worn out or frustrated from that place, that place gave some great memories. I wont go into them cuz im sure errone is tired of me reminscining bout errlittle thing, but those small memories are the ones that mean a lot to me. If i ever needed supplies for work then i can go there and borrow some. Those two yurrs(which felt like more)that i was thurr meant a lot to me.

THough i am glad God took me out of there in the nick of time, and has allowed me to grow elsewhurr. You know noreen, in a sense i feel you on the whole change thing. When i was told to go for the job i have now, i was skurred. I was afraid of change, juss as you said. I was extremely comfortable and was skurred of the future. I was afraid that i might not keep in touch w/the people i work with as much. I was afraid i wouldnt see my best friend on a daily basis anymore.

I went and applied for the job anyway, and whne i found out i got it, i wanted to decline the offer. In those times where we seem lost and afraid, thas when we know Jesus is calling us on to those shores. He's in that boat waiting for us to come to Him. Yet were afraid, afraid of not knowing wha will happen. WHen we become afraid thas when we start to sink same way Peter did.

But as always He tells us, 'Do not be afraid I am with you. I have called each by name. Come and follow me i will give you hope, i love you and you are mine.' When were lost and afraid thas when we must surrender errthang to Jesus. He's there showing us the way, its juss are we going to be open in letting Him show it to us? Are we going to open up our hearts to let Him work in us.

So i shall bid farwell to the ol 'champions.' I praise God for giving me the experience to truly work w/kids. Kids of various ages, various needs and wants. A place that will hold memories of forever.

I was reading GP's blog bout blogs, the topic that SH has been talking bout recently. It seems like errone is addicted to this blog invention. Not necessarly in terms of posting, but in reading whas going in people's lives and minds. FOr me the moment i sign online, i check my blog then errone elses. Blogs have become my morning OC Register/LA times. Seriously, during skool id be late sometimes cuz i would be reading and catching up on blogs.

Reading blogs and checking up on your own is like a morning routine for most people. Its like reading your paper w/a cup of coffee. Then as you go out through your day and meet w/your friends you'll say, 'hey did you read such and such's blog?' The same way that people say,'hey did you read that article bout blah blah?'

Though i think im different then most people in the sense that i print out my blog entries. Ive been doing that for a year now and im working on the 4th big binder of entries. Im so glad boss lady gave me that idea! I print them out @ work! haha Its juss i put so much effort into my entries, id hate for the blogger site to go completely down one day and never be able to get back up. Then wha?! I wouldve lost all my entries since nov. 2002. So for those who put endless hours of effort into thurr entries, i suggest you print your entries out and make a book as i have.

I finally saw shrek 2 w/melissa and jay tonite. It was a really funny movie! I think im like one of the last people to finally watch it. I think i like the second one better then the first. Mike Meyes is hillarious! I juss love the whole theme of furry tales and wha not. SO if you get the chance go see it before its out! I wanna see 'saved' cuz mandy moore is in it! ha

Please pray for my friend's grandpa. He is in the hospital for kidney failure and is working on one lung. On top of that he's hooked up to some machine and the doctors/family has to decide whether to keep him on it or not. Lord God merciful healer, pour out your most precious blood and heal the broken wounds of erin's grandfather. Guide their family through this difficult time and give them peace in their hearts. Watch over them and please protect them. Blessed Mother ask for your most powerful intercession through your son. AMen.


17 more days till LSS!

"I promise you the world, so please dont ever go away..."im done, im out God Bless!

Where everybody knows your name...

"He who truly desires Love, seeks it truly. And he who truly seeks it, surely finds it. And he who finds it has found the Fountain of Life..."

Dee said on the doors of interfaith they should add that 'where everybody knows your name...' When i was thurr on tues. errone was leaving to go do hw/study etc. then like within like 30min theyd end up coming back. Then once they left, someone new would walk in. Actually its hard to explain ha i think you juss gotta be thurr to see it. This place has come to be a 2nd home for many of the students @ uci. Its used for mass, meetings, study breaks, and juss a great place to meet some really cool people.

So the waters at work have been pretty calm. Praise GOd! I like calm waters, rather than rought waters. So yesterday during moblie rec i was on the phone making all types of phone calls planning for this retreat on sat. I think were pretty much set to go, juss need to continue to pray for it. We have someone looking for sponsors cuz funds are desperately needed to pay for the logistics for the day. So if you can please keep that in your prayers also, that we find groups/organizations that will want to sponosor us.

I made chicken enchiladas to bring to the final YFC meetng of the yurr. The meeting was coo, a vast variety of food! Ooh man thurr was this really good dessert i think abby made it. It mixed well w/the strawberries that was thurr also. We played texas hol em and i was doing pretty well! I ended up winning the game w/the most $$! In a sense too bad it wasnt for real $$. I won like 3 games straight. Im really getting to like that game!

Its always exciting to see new leadership being handed down.Well at least for me it is. ITs like waiting to see the presdential election results. Last sat. at the liwanag banquet they showed us the new core team for next yurr. Angie being one of the new servant leaders along w/cristina and leo. Then thurr was a whole list of new vice churrs to help lead the community and keep it growing. Randell is going to be the new yfc UCI campus based director for next yurr. Great leader who's always open to working to serve God. Im excited to see the fruits that will come out of the new leadership next yurr.

Afterwurdds chillin @ randells and michael wuuuus until 115. WEll i only stayed till 115 they were still thurr when i left. Its a nice feelin knowing i can sleep in, but in a sense i dont like waking up real late cuz the whole morning is kinda ruined. Thurr isnt much you can really do. ALso cuz i got work later in the afternoon also. I have more floating holiday that i need to use up. Juss trying to figure out the best time to use it for this month.

You whas a great feeling is when you finally are able to get back on the routine of daily mass. The feeling of going to daily mass is juss fufilling, to be able to receieve Jesus errday. Wow! It really also helps you deal with your own personal trials and struggles. Not only that but helps you groooooooooow closer to Him. Praise God for daily mass! Im so glad thurr are churches like sPv and sPc who have an afternoon one and evening one. Often times churches only will have either one or two masses. Then theyre usually real early in the morning like 6 or 8am. I love it!

Abby told me yesterday that at her ol church they use to sing 'Mighy Savior.' In fact she told me they use to add add libs to the song. She was telling me how they use to do it before. It sounds tight, i juss gotta remember how they went. Ha she said when we were singing it for praise fest they were singing the add libs. Good stuff!Oh i bought that movie you got served the other day! ha i love that movie.

With that being said...HoOoOolla Back!

18 more days till LSS!

"Im not trying to hook up like phonics..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"There is something in humility that strangely exalts the heart..."

Wow where do i even begin talking bout how this day was. It was one difficult day, but in the end as always GOd pulled me through it. Im in the process of putting together the agenda for the retreat. Errthang is pretty much coming together. Juss gotta talk to charisse bout some things. It should be put together by the end of today.

Mass was really nice today, it always nice but today's readings stuck out to me. Ever since saturday at the liwanag banquet, ive been seeing the Matthew 5:13-16 scripture verse errwhurr. THen the 1st reading from 1 Kings 17:7-16 made me realize something also. Something which i was so thankful for later on in the afternoon. SO in the first reading, Elijiah was relying on the brook which God made dried up. He turns to this ol widow and with wha very little she had for herself and her son, she gave shurred it w/Elijiah.

Elijiah is nourished and God supplies this old lady with an abuduance of food. In comparison that stream that dries up is in a sense like our prayer life. How we will go through periods or stages of 'droughts.' Sometimes we even get to the point of being burnt out, whurr we dont want to serve anymore.

THough i think in this reading, when we go through these difficult times, in our times of need, in our humility, we need to turn to our brothers and sisters. We need to turn to them, and seek thurr resources. As we know one of the gifts of being part of that mystical body of CHrist is when we are weak, another is strong.When another is weak, we are strong. Its all part of being together as ONE BODY in CHRIST.

In the Gospel Jesus was teaching bout salt and light. We are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. Elijiah turned to the widow and through her God nourished him. God can help us through others. Others can be salt and light to us. In this gospel, God is reminding us, that when our spiritual life may go flat, when we seem to have enterted a darkness, we should not be afraid to use the resources God has placed in our life.

When we cannot be salt or light to others, we need humility, as Elijiah had, to seek out those God has placed in our life to be salt and light to us.

I can certainly attest to that bout being salt and light to others. Ill explain why in juss a little bit. Today was a very tense for me, i was filled with a lot of burden and anxiety. When i worry, i worry hardcore to whurr my hurrt is beating like 90 miles an hour. I wont go into detail as to wha happened, but praise God errthang turned out okay in the end. At least im praying it did...

So on my way to wha i was expecting to be a difficult day at work i met Jesus through aela, boss lady, toni, and burr(yess burR). Who helped me sorta relax and juss helped breathe a little bit. Though later on work, today's first reading really applied to this situation at work.

One of my parents who im close with, dropped off her kids for the movie. We havent seen each other in quite a while, but i always see Jesus through her. A very devout catholic who is juss wow soo wonderful. Well today she looks at me and she could tell something was wrong. She asked whas wrong that i seemed disturbed. I explained to her the situation that i was in and asked for prayers.

She then went on to explain she was worried that i mightve quit cuz she hadnt seen me in a while. THough in that period of time whurr we didnt see each other, she told me she had felt i was going through something. THat i was 'weak,' and i thought wow thas not a coincidence cuz i was going through a period of juss 'letting go and letting God.' The parent told me that she didnt know wha was wrong but she asked St. Michael's intercession that he may protect me and keep me safe.

I was moved by wha she had to say, it was like wow. Obviously too not a coincidence the readings centered around being 'the body of Christ.' While i was weak, she was strong and was right thurr interceeding for me. She reassured me that errthang was going ot be okay and nothing is impossible w/God. I felt better afterwurrds, but it was juss touching how she felt my pain and sat and prayed for me.

Went to liwanag tonite after helping my mom w/some stuff. IT was last min. decision to go. It was thurr very last meeting of the whole yurr. I figured i needed to grab people to bring to LSS. That i did i was able to get kathee and her sister kaylene! yay! I had a great convo w/dee tonite bout ministry and serving. We both agreed how its great to see soo many communities coming together and working together. SOmething she's never seen before. All we kept saying it praise God for juss this whole yurr and how thankful we are for all the blessings that took place.

So much to look forward to, im excited! Praise God!
