It's good to be home...

"When you see your brother, you see God..."

Wow what a busy day this was, full of blessings, some set backs & dissapointments, some attacks, excitement and yet all full of God's love at the same time. This quote applies to juss being able see Christ in our daily lives. How we should be able to see errnoe as Christ would want us to. This is how it should be all the time, seeing GOd through your brother and sister. Sometimes it can be so difficult, and yet so frustrating. Yet its something God calls us to do. When people see us, we should be a mirror image of God. We should reflect the teachings of Christ. We should walk the way Jesus did...

I had gone to the cerritos mall and exchanged some items. I thought i could use my macys gift currds to put on my bill, i guess they dont let you do that. Instead i bought this a hooded sweater jacket. I could never have too many of those, so now i got left is $6 on the currd. Then i got a shirt at aero-postale and then another sweater/jacket at abercrombie and fitch. Took curr of those errands. Went to sPc and had confession w/fr. greg it maybe the last time going ot confession w/him. Man that sucks two great spc priests leaving. So i signed up for daily adoration @ spc. Its on thurs. nites and he gave me the code for the door to get in. How exciting!

After confession met up with cy and mike and had lunch w/them at albertacos. It was fun, weve been meaning to have lunch together for a while but we were never able to really work things out. Met up w/jay da banker last nite for happy hour, it was coo. Went to st. joseph's book sturr to go over next sat. w/gaby. He's such a great guy, soo supportive and errthang. He's gonna be one of the vendors for sat. Check it, he donated this really, really nice staute of our Lady of Sorrows. Ill post the picture later on, but thas gonna be the grand prize for the raffle. Wow thas gonna be exciting!

Went to day one of the yfc conference in riverside. I left w/tanya this evening and we had a really good chat bout relationships all throughout the car ride. The conference is wow! Its freakin tight! WE did a lot of walking and got lost trying to find whurr the main hall was, but its coo. My goal for the conference is to meet at least one person from errstate. I got texas down, 49 moe states to go. THe first nite was tight, they had a lot of presentations and great talks. Fr. Francis is an awesome speaker. I cant wait to hurr his homily for spirit games. Im still in awe with yfc in all 50 states. Thas such a huge accomplishment, praise God. Turns out i wasnt the only who doubted a yfc in all 50 states. Though God humbles us and tells 'oh ye of little faith why did you doubt?' I cant wait to go back after work tomorrow...im juss totally lifting up spirit games throughout this conference. Tonite helped me take my mind off some stuff i was really bothered with. Praise God, as the conference theme 'reunion' says, 'It's good to be home!'

8 moe days till spirit games!

"When I die, leave a bottle of Dom by the gravesite..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Trying to stay alive

"As a ship cannot be build without nails, so a person cannot be saved without humility..."

The trials and attacks have certainly made their way this past week. Its so difficult to stand up straight right after a fall. Though Praise God for His grace, praise God for His strength who pushes me to keep going. As the week draws closer and closer, im going to need to continually keep drawing closer to Him. For through in Him alone will ill be able to function straight. Ahh im a litte dissapointed at the moment, but praise God. Praise God for these trials, praise God for these attacks, Praise God juss for everything. Praise God for being able to at least get to go a pieces of the YFC conference. Praise God cuz i know im going to be okay!

My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness. I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, i am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of CHrist, for when i am weak, then i am strong.


9 more days till spirit games!

"Draw me close to you, bring me back to you..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Hope is on the way!

"We choose hope over despair; possibilities over problems, optimism over cynicism..."
 
So our next vice president of the US gave his speech last nite as the delegates officially noiminated the next commander of chief. I thought it was a really good speech. All this convention stuff is pretty exciting. To see some of the most popular democratic leaders share thurr speel on john kerry. Then john kerry will come and accept the party's nomination. Its always as these conventions whurr you see people w/creative hats, buttons etc. Anyway, good stuff at the convention. Its making me excited for SCRC! although theyre two completely different conventions, its gonna be exciting to see people rallied up God.

As soon as i got into work i had to run an errand all the way in irvine. Thurr was traffic on the 55s so it took me a while to get thurr. Then it was hard to find the exact building i needed to find. It was in the really nice irvine business area. So i was going around in circles for a while getting restless trying to find the place. Finally i did and wow the building i went to was really nice. Outside you had this waterfall area whurr you can see many employees stop and eat thurr lunch. Then i got lost on the way back trying to find a freeway, finally i ran into the 405 and was able to hop on that one to get back. WHa couldve been 1 hr trip turned out to be 2 hrs long.

The rest of the day was coo, i was getting real irritated during commodities though. Usually i juss let peopel take whatever, so we can finish them. YEsterday though i was getting upset w/certain people arguing w/ol people saying they couldnt take this and that. Ha i told our dept. asst. i dont know why i was getting so moody. We ended up having a lot of left over bags too in the end...oh why?! A lot times we have filipinos who come and sometimes i let them juss take as many. This way we can juss get rid of all the left over bags of food. So a lot of people at work have been getting flat screen monitors upgrading to xp. Wow, were still lacking a computer in our office. Geez, i wonder how much email i have on outlook. Probably over400 since i havent checked since may.

Last nite i was really craving spinach artichoke dip from fridays. I dont know why but all of a sudden it sounded good. Agh i couldnt find anyone to really go with though. Oh well jay da the banker and i think are gonna go tonite. Whenever him and i talk online we have the funniest convos. Speaking of convos, i was talking to ang and she was helping me out put together some type of intenrary for spirit games. It was difficult trying to get things organized, putting things in places and time slots. Im juss praying errthang will run smoothly and run smoothly. Im getting more and more excited though! Praise God!

10 moe days till spirit games!!! 

"Let me see you come forth/Let me see you go back..."im done, im out God bless!

All 50 baby!!!

 

"Entrust yourself entirely to God. He is the father and a most loving Father at that, who would rather let heaven and earth collapse than abandon anyone who trusted in Him..."

All Gold?! wha am i talking bout?! Praise God Youf for Christ is now established in ALL yes, ALL 50 states. Can you believe that?! Thas freakin crazy, to be honest i had my doubts at the very first g4g rally. I thought thas impossible to get a yfc in all 50 states! Though, with much prayer, fasting, and service He answered our prayers.  Which is even more exciting is that this happened right before their annual conference. Im even more crunked now to go to the conference. Praise God for YFC and thurr continuous service to God. Praise God for the commitment of the youf to persevere to bring all glory to God. God is amazing, God is awesome, God is wow. Praise Him in all things! Now i can go to any state in cali and attend a YFC meeting. Crrazzzzy!

In other news, so i was a little upset that i wasnt going to get to go to the furr for work. When i got into work i found out my boss was going w/them, so i thought ha thas even better! To have him out of my hair for 6 hours, hey thas all good w/me! So work was chill, actually ive been feeling lazy in regards to doing activities w/the kids. Ha we havent even really done any arts projects this past week either. Oh well the kids are still keeping busy. As chill it was, it was still a little hectic. We had the monthly commodties to do, agh! I had the kids help take curr of it so it goes by a lot faster. Jesty also came by to help out.

Which goes to my next topic, I had met Jesus today in Jesty. He came by to help do the commodities, which i hate to do. Anyway, i was in and out cuz i had to take curr of other thing. When i came back towards the end of the day, i saw how much fun the kids had working w/him. Juss the interaction he had w/the kids and the interaction they had w/him made me smile. This guy is totally great w/them and makes boring work fun. Commodities isnt the most exciting job, to bag cans all day long. Your feet get turrd, you get bored, and its juss straight out a retarted job. So one of the kids was like, 'well never get this finished.' Jesty chuckled, smiled and told him 'juss have faith.'  On top of all that him and i had a great convo. while working. He's a really great person to work with, and juss all around friendly. His smile helps lighten up the work load. Praise God for jesty, my co worker! ha 

Happy 5 yurr Anniversary Pops & Moms!

 Praise God for the sacrament of matrimony. For those couples who make a commitment to serve God in thurr marriage. Exactly wha pops and moms have done. Established a boootiful family, w/3 boootiful children. They gave me a really d0pe birfday gift thas why im doing this blog dedication! haha jk Also this way i can...haha well nm haha anyway, i love their dedication to each other and to bringing up their family the way GOd wants them to. Praise God fo great parents and thurr great faith! Congrats!!!

Prayer meeting was wonderful! I led last nite and juss the prayer boss lady, banne, and jaymee said really helped. I think i was currying a lot of stuff last nite coming into prayer meeting. I wasnt angry or sad, but i feeling a little overwhelmed. Trying to take care as many things for spirit games and prayer meeting before i went. The burr gave me the evil eye cuz i had discerned two holy spirit songs instead of one. So while i led, i really felt relaxed, i felt the spirit totally take over and take control.

Banne brought a friend to prayer meeting to last nite. DOing my best to be hospitable, i chopped chopped a convo w/the guy. He was pretty cool, he told me that he does a lot of spiritual stuff on his own. Like pray the rosary, go to mass, mediation etc. etc. So prayer meeting was a whole new experience for him, but he enjoyed it. I juss told him its nice to have a community thurr for you cuz sometimes you cant do it all on your own. I think we did our job being Christ to him last nite cuz before he left he thanked all of us for our warm welcome.

Banne also did this really great talk on growing in faith. A talk which i think well become eventually a series cuz thurr was juss so much to shurr. I loooove hurring talks from banne cuz she doesnt make me sleepy. haha Some speakers i cant stand to listen to cuz they can be soo monotnous. Anyway, she shurred a lot bout going through them desserts. How its not always 'I want to praise you Lord.' But the times whurr i cant seem to 'pray at all, so i need your help.' Then she talked a lot bout doubting God, and how its a sin to doubt God. Then giving examples of some of the prophets of the ol testament. How they doubted wha God was going to do for them. I wish thurr was more time to hurr the rest of her talk, but maybe she'll shurr the rest w/me in a convo. haha

So praise God for a fun filled day, full prayer, God's love, and exciting news!

11 moe days till spirit games! 

"I'm locked up, they wont let me out..."im done, im out God bless!

It's Coming...

"Don't condemn silver just because you possess gold..."

So ive been telling people that it hasnt hit me that spirit games is only a matter of being two weeks away. LAst nite during the meeting it finally did hit me. The meeting went well, praise God, a lot of stuff still needs to be ironed out. Funding a big issue that came up last nite, i know in the end God will provide. Im juss hoping a lot of communities besides the ones in the core come out. Our second to last meeting was out in glendale last nite...whoa it was a pretty furr drive. Maybe cuz of all the on and off traffic on the 5n. Please, please continue to pray for the success of this event, if you can offer a mass for it, or if you can fast, or juss whatever prayers you can offer thatd be great. Ha pray that i dont loose my mind within these next two weeks.

I realized i was suppose to pass out fliers for work on fri nite. @ the garden grove curr show. Though i forgot to go...so i was afraid they might say something, but they didnt...whew! Anyway, so we had this dept. staff meeting to over summerfest assignments. Agh i gotta work on sat. but imma see if i could switch to a morning shift. Im gonna be in riverside for the yfc conference, i juss wish summerfest wasnt this weekend! AGh! that really sucks...oh well thurr isnt any use complaining over it and wha not. The nice bout sunday is, i was thinking i was going to have to work a 12 hour a shift. Like a 6-6 or something like that, but i dont gotta be at work till 8am. Ahh so thas nice i got some leeway time.

On the way home from glendale last nite i heard this d0pe new song. It called 'real love' by rell. Its with kanye west on the track, its a pretty tight song. I love rell's songs i dont know why but theyre juss cool. So the democratic national convention kicked off last nite. My coworker asked me 'how come youre not thurr?!' He knows that im a democrat more less conservative one. I was watching the replays last nite on cspan. Im excited to see the kerry-edwards administration take over the white house. It was really coo to see the clintons go up and give an inspiring speech. Hillary is d0pe i think if thurrs one female politicain that i admire the most, its her.

Then charisse called me later on that nite and was explaining to me bout her trip to new orleans. Im glad she had fun cuz i know wha it means to have a nice vacation, even if its small. Juss to be able to get away from all the reality stuff taking place. She brought me back souveniors too! haha yay!! a key chain and some mardi gras beads. Oh speaking of vacation i got to shurr w/errone my vacation photos to hawaii!!! Errone asked me, 'so how was hawaii?' I said, 'agh i want to go back!' ahh i miss hawaii...i really, really, really do...ha :sigh:

I met Jesus the other day through raymond manag. Man i love that guy, he's juss full of God's love. Him and i were talking back and forth on sat. and sun. trying to keep each other updated in regards to the dance. Each time before we hung up the phone he asked, 'how are you doing?' 'Are you okay?' He told me he was juss worried bout me and didnt want me to stress. Him checking up on me really made my day. He goes, 'im praying for you bro.' Praise God for great brothers in Christ who take the time out to check up on you.



12 more days till spirit games! 


"Yo my name is kanye from the rocafam where the glocs dont jam..."im done, im out God bless!

The Madness Begins

"God does not ask for our blood, but for our faith..."

 

I juss got back from watching King Arthur w/calvin. The movie turned out to be a lot better than i expected it to be. I loved it, wasnt a whole lot of dialouge, a lot of action, and a good story line to it. On top of all that it wasnt predicatable. If you enjoyed watching the LOTR Triology's then you'll like this one. THe battle scenes were pretty tight, it reminded me a lot of the battle scenes in ROTK. So if you get the chance go out and watch it! It seems longer then it really it is too.

 

The madness of these next two weeks begins now. Im suprised i havent totally stressed out. PRaise God for His grace cuz oh man thas the only thing thas gonna keep me coo. I think id feel a lot less stressed if maybe i didnt have all this hectic work stuff going on. THough as that expression goes, 'God doesnt give you anything that you cant handle.' Obviously, then i must be able to handle all the stuff he's put on my plate now. As i was telling cy tonite it hasnt hit me yet that spirit games is only 2 weeks away.  I think cuz my mind has been preoccupied w/the stuff going on w/work.

 

I had a really good lunch today, almost as good as aloha mixed plate. We had the fam bam ova and we craaab! It was like mini seafood fest, fish, crab, squid, and lots of it! I ate two crabs, crab meat is soo good! Then when you mix all the inside stuff w/your rice w/a little bit of vinegar and lemon. OooOohwee it makes for one heck of a good meal! Ha i guess they whurr saying we should do this once a month. I totally agree on that one, i mean cmon now how often is it that a errday person gets to have crab for lunch. Unless you go out to some restaraunt. Anyway, praise God for good food!

 

Sang for mass today, which is always a blessing when SH is asked to sing for mass.  It was coo cuz we switched up the songs too. Then afterwurrds i was passing out spirit games fliers after mass to see if i could people to go. As i was watching people take them in thurr hands, some were real intrigued. It was like, 'wow whas this?' Those fliers are catchy and the colors are perfect to catch people's attention. Hopefully, this will attract moe peeps to go.

 

I spent last nite @ burr and boss lady's house. BOss lady said im the person she's seen the most eva since theyve come back. I loove spending time chillin and getting to hang out w/them cuz theyre juss so much. Its like theyre the big brother and big sista taking me out for the day! haha Forreals though they're juss great. Im so blessed to have such great people like them in my life. They totally take curr of me too! yay! Now they have a brand new comp. so now they blog and go online again yay!

 

Last nite we went to LF and visited them. They had a priest who gave this interesting talk/teaching. The coo purrt bout it was that it was interactive, so we had time for group shurring. Then he did this whole scenario which i dont even go into cuz i dont remember all of it and it gets confusing. The the talk was soooooooooooooooo long though, oh man i could hardly keep still. I cant sit for long talks, cuz i cant sit still in a churr listening to some speaker forever talk. Anyway, other than the long talks it was fun.

 

OKay im getting turrd and im gonna try to wake up early for mass. Ive got some other stuff i need to take curr of before the meetnig is over. Ahh i cant wait for this week to be over already! Well maybe not, im excited to go to yfc conference this weekend yay!! Too bad i have to miss sunday cuz of freakin work. Ha maybe i'll juss quit so i can go...ha joking.

 

13 moe days still spirit games! 

 

"And on your birthday me and my boys visit your grave..."im done, im out God bless!

Smile like the Sunrise

"We always find that those who walked closest to Christ, our Lord, were those who had to bear the greatest trials..."

 

I know many of us are going through tough, rough, not to mention difficult times. You may think, 'this sucks' or 'my life sucks' or 'leave me be!' God has blessed you with soo much, that you should be grateful for the life he has given you. Take a look at the small things around and praise God for them. Chin up my friend, things could be a lot worse. At least youre living in a safe environment and you dont gotta worry bout bombs exploding in your neighborhood. Okay, so maybe that example was a little too extreme, but God did create His children to stress.  Take the time out and try to come back to being childlike. Always remember God has given us His grace and His grace is sufficient for us. No matter wha happens, we'll get through it w/His grace! In the mean time try to find the time to smile juss as these kids are. Help bringhten up someone's day with your smile!

 

Had lunch w/my mom and sister today @ tgifriddays. Its been a while since ive had lunch thurr. Usually only come during the evening w/errone. Went to barnes and nobles afterwurrds to look for this magazine pops was telling me bout on mon. Something called 'uly' or whatever, anyway thurrs an article he was telling be bout on how it said 'how blog ruined my life.' Ha he was shruring w/me a summary of the article and it sounded funny. Anyway, i couldnt find it...agh! Went to tall mouse and best buy, looks like i mya have to bring in the printer. Agh i hate bringing in all that stuff. Such a hassle, but you gotta do wha you gotta do.

 

Came home and burr called me as i was attempting to take a nap. So we were on the phone talking forever. THen he came down to my house and we went to fry's electronics together. He was getting a purrt for his laptop.  AGh then it took forever to get home cuz we took the freakin streets back! Tanya called me this afternoon, i havent talked to her in forever. We were talking bout yfc conference next weekend. Wow im excited yet im kinda nervous cuz i dont know wha to expect. Hopefully, ill be able to meet some new people and maybe make some new friends yay!!! Anyway, were going ot carpool together over thurr. I really wish i could stay the whole weekend, but working all day on sun. will help make my paycheck bigga.

 

Went to the first extended session of apologetics tonite. THe 7 week session on 'cathoilc morality' an interesting, yet touchy subject. This is the first time ive taken an extended apologetics class, hopefully ill be able to finish the rest of the sessions. Tonite's topic was basically all bout the principles and juss getting your feet wet. With errclass, thurrs always gotta be one person who screws it up for errone else in class. Agh! thurrs this one guy who was pissing errone off tonite. He kept interrupting and trying to argue w/tito jess on certain issues. Praise God for the Holy Spirit who really guided tito jess through the rest of the nite. WOw thas gotta be hurrd ot keep your cool like that.

 

Afterwurrds went home and i started to clean out my drawers. My goal is to redo my room this summer, but in two weeks. Once all the madness of work and ministry work is settled then ill take curr of my room. Its impossible to take curr of all that right now. Eventually id like to paint it, compact my closet, take out the futon and filing cabinets, and the huge dresser. Pretty much to make more room in my room. My closet is jam packed and its so hurrd to fit anything in thurr. So thas the goal the week after spirit games is over. By that time skool will probably be sturting soon. Oh why?! Whurr in the heck did summer go? Let me juss go back to hawaii!

 

Anyway, as i was browsing through some of my ol entries from last yurr i ran across something i did. Its called, '100 things that i love' pretty much me listing random things that i love. A small way to praise God for the small blessings in my life.  Ha i was going to get sturrted but im feelin sleepy now. Went to confession @ spc this afternoon, spent a lot of time before that sitting in front of the blessed sacrament. Like i said the only thing that;s gonna get me through these next two weeks is His grace. So im going to try and go to mass and visit the blessed sacrament as mch as possible. Ending the nite w/adoration @ sPv. Ahh yes i love it!

 

Im still debating on whether to go to uci for yfc's a day w/the kids at the purrk. Theyre bringing in bout 40 kids from the catholic worker to irvine for purrk games, bbq, and more. Id like to go but yet i have so much stuff i need to take curr of hurr also. We'll see how much stuff i get done first. Then later on in the evening were going to LF for prayer meeting. Yay! The weekend is almost ova!! agh!

 

15 more days till spirit games! 

 

"Steady breakin’ me on down..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Determining God's Will

"Therefore with mind entire, faith firm, courage undaunted, love thorough, let us be ready for whatever God wills..."
 
You know, im really feelin and enjoyin the saint book the tribe called king gave me. It makes looking for daily quotes a lot easier then having to fish through websites. Wha makes it even d0per is how they theyre broken up into catagories in alphabetical order. From abortion all the way to zeal. Its a really cool book and i love it! It'll help in so many different ways and occassions, especially in teaching confirmation next yurr. PRaise God for great holy books!

Anyway, so ive got bad news, unfortunately i wasnt able to find any hall to rent out or use for the dance-a-thon. I was really counting on using the hall @ work thinking if worse came to worse theyd let me use it. Well my boss told me wed have to fill out all the paper work and blah blah blah.  On top of all that my supervisor is now responsible for the hall rentals so id have to work out through him and etc. etc.  it pretty much left me saying, 'oh whY?!' I dropped by St. Polycarp after work and talked to the pastor thurr bout thurr hall and he said its too busy on sun. they have masses back to back on sundays. Another closed door...

Within the past week, we've been getting a lot of closed doors in regards to finding a venue. So i sturrted to think it must not be in God's will that we have this dance right now. At the same time i was also thinking, wha if God's way of saying to keep going and not quit. To persevere and to keep trying the same we did in searching for a spirit games venue. In the end God provided,a as always. Its interesting the way God directs things at times. Sometimes He really throws those curve balls into your plans that leave you scratching your head. Especially when it comes to ministry work. Ive got 1 moe place im going to check out and leo is going to find bout using interfaith possibly.

In the mean time ive gotta juss offer it all up to Him. As always He will provide, these next two weeks are going to be hectic. 2 major work events 2 weekends in a row, 2 huge Christ-Centered events happening these next two weekends. As the infamous saying goes, 'Let go and Let God,' which can often be the hardest thing to do. Surrendering errthang up to Him and letting Him take curr of it. Not trying to take curr of it on my own, but let Him help me to take curr of the things i need to do.

My other half or more less my partner is gone for the next few days. She flew to new orleans for a small break. Being she was gone, praise God myron was thurr to help me w/a difficult decision in regards to purrking. Hurr was the dilemna either pay $15 for a parking attendant for estimated maybe 3 hours maybe murr to take the $5 for purrking. Or have a lot of 100 spaces barricaded for us, still having to pay for the $5, but wont have to use purrkng attendant. The catch is whatever spaces we dont fill up we gotta pay the $5. So thurr was a lot of thinking and sketching out to do. Myron and i basically came up with were pretty sure  we'll get at least 100 currs. Id rather $5 for any extra spots, rather then lets say $30 for 2 hrs we dont need the purrking attendant for.

Looking at the youf rally flier from this yurr i didnt realize how many other groups that we were left that we hadnt invited to spirit games. I had counted bout possibly 27 different groups. So once i get the contact list of thurr leaders, im going to contact them and see bout getting them registered and ready to go. Ahh so much to do, so little time, the thing bout all this is trying to keep cool and not stress. I juss gotta continue to pray and keep myself spiritually in tact. Hopefully ill be able to reach those leaders and they'll come out.

Yesterday at work i had skurr, we whur at the purk playing as always. Well when it was time to come in, i realized two of the girls whurr missing. I sturrted to freak and then i sturrted to freak even murr when one of the girls told me that they saw the girls walk into a curr. OH man i couldve had a hurrt attack cuz i was so skurred. I kept praying that nothing bad was going to happen to them and that thurr mom picked them up. 4pm came when the program ended and thurr mom hadnt show up, so i figured okay well maybe thurr mom did come and get them.  For some reason though i sturrted to feel a small sense of calmness as if the Holy Spirit was calming me down. Assuring me that errthang was gonna be okay.

They walk in this morning into the room and i asked wha happened ot them. The girls told me thurr mom came to pick them up. That thurr mom told me that she was picking them up early, which wasnt even true. The mom never even spoke to me bout anything. PRaise God that nothing bad happened to them. Praise God that they didnt hurt or lost. I was real skurred cuz one of the girls is autistic too. So today i made sure bof of them knew not to go anywhurr w/o talking to me first. Ahh

I went over to burr and boss lady's house tonite to watch that movie 'a perfect score.' I rented before but wasnt able to finish the movie. Anyway, so i was watching w/burr and it was pretty funny.  Bout these HS seniors from different ethinic backgrounds and different classes stealing the answers to the SAT. In the end building a friendship and not needing the answers after all. Unrealistic movie, yet it was pretty funny and interesting too.

Holla Back!

15 more days till spirit games! 

"Slow motion for me, slow motion for me..."im done, im out God bless!

A Christian Furry Tale...

"You go to pray: to become  a bonfire, a living flame, giving heat and light..." 
One more work day left...ahh im so happy its almost over. I love getting off @ 5pm rather then staying till 6 to get off.  Its been quite an interesting week so furr. I think im slowly beginning to adjust back to fast lane again. :sigh: but i do still miss hawaii. I thought this quote by blessed josemaria escrivia was quite an interesting analogy. It reminds me of this other quote that i really like, 'We must not forget that spiritual light cannot be extinguished, only buried. And for this reason every spiritual discovery is but a rediscovery.'
 
Anyway, i cant find that one picture of fred that i took before the wedding. We had this game in our room while we were getting ready for the wedding. Well arch told me to jump and climb up on the wall in thurr room. The wall was pretty high, so i jumped and jumped but i couldnt make it. I guess i wasnt strong enough to pull myself up. So fred jumped it took him a couple times but he was finally able to make it. Ha it looks funny cuz it looks like he's climbing the wall like spidaman, thas why i wanted to post it. I dont know wha happened to the pic though.
 
So the search still goes on for a spirit games dance-a-thon venue. I'll have a definte answer tomorrow, but until then, please please continue to keep this in your prayers. My classroom at work looks really tight now. Actually the art project that we finished brought out a lot of color in the room. WE did this sunset city life portrait. They took a sponge and made streak of orange paint across a yellow piece of construction paper. From thurr after the paint dried, they cut out pieces of black construction paper to represent buildings and glued onto thurr paper. Finally cutting pieces of white squrres to glue on the black buildings as windows. After its all finsihed it loosk pretty tight.
 
I forgot the OC furr sturrted already, i havent gone in geez i dont know how many yurrs. Though i think im going next week w/the kids at work as one of the excursions.  That should be fun, hopefully. Last yurr thurr wasnt enough kids signed up so i didnt get to go. I was quite pissed cuz my boss chose my other two coworkers to go instead. Agh i was real angry that day and not to mention dissapointed too.
 
Liwanag is going ot be doing the praisefest portion of spirit games for the closing ceremonies. Theyre music min. is tight they got the vokals to make your body go *clap!* On top of that they know all the songs to get errone hyped and jumpin. Wow two more weeks to go, im still amazed by how fast its come. Though its been one of the best projects ive ever worked on. Juss cuz its not one person doing all the effort its been a 'collaborative effort.' Im excited to see the fruits of this event grow and hopefully convict people. Praise God for all the struggles, trials, and errthang else that has helped united the committe together. Its been great networking and getting to know other people from other communities across so. california. Honestly, thas wha its all bout 'working together as one body in Christ to build a better tomorrow.' Wow that sounds like a great campagin slogan! haha
 
Work was coo today, i had a real huge skurr, and im still kinda skurred. Please pray that errthang goes well tomorrow w/that situation. I had a grip of kids today also, then i had a parent who wanted to check the program out w/her kids. She liked the program cuz she told me cuz its structured yet thurrs freedom for the kids to grow. Which im glad that she enjoyed cuz that means more kids. Tomorrow were gonna do slip and slide at the purrk, i think if its still real hot well do halo halo also. Yum! I havent had that in a while!
 
An ol friend from HS called me tonite to see how i was doing. It was funny cuz i was juss thinking of her too the other day. She was suppose to be getting murried but it turns out she and her bf broke up again. Whas new, theyve always been on and off eva since ive known her. Funny thing is she always says its over, its over. THen she ends up getting back w/him again...he doesnt even treat her right either. I tell you some girls dont think and can act so much on emo and uhh that other word that i cant think of at the moment. Whurr you dont think of your actions before you do them.  Anyway, she was suppose to call me back and she never did. AGh! i hate that when people say, 'ill call you back' and they dont! or when they leave you a vmail to call them back and you can never get a hol of them. Or when they dont return your calls agh! Those are my pet peeves right thurr.
 
A funny but stupid story i was talking to angie bout flavas of the week. So i told her i saw that movie 'a cinderella story.' I ended up making this stupid story line of a 'christian cinderella story.' Ha check it, so say thurrs this huge community wide event taking place, ex youf rally, spirit games whatever. You meet this person outside and you chop it up, really get to know each other. Finally before youre able to exchange info. and wha not turns they gotta go back to thurr own community. In fact the persons such in a rush to leave (cuz its community was leaving) that he/she ends up dropping something. You end up loosing sight of the person through the tons of people in the crowds. You pick up the dropped item and it turns out ot be a bible w/pics of that person in it. Ha so you go through errcommunity endlessly trying to find this one special person until you find him/her. Thas all i know it was juss a stupid sturry we were messing around with.
 
Alright i must get some shut eye...its been already since i got back from maui. agh oh why?!
 

16 moe days till spirit games! 

"Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up/Even when the road is hard, never give up..."im done, im out God bless!

Happy Birfday Heif!

"If God causes you to suffer much, it's a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint..."

This quote is directed to all the homies out thurr who are struggling. Juss keep ya head up and continue to pray. God is watching out for you and knows that you can overcome these trials. Although these times may suck and you may hate it, juss understand God has special plans for you. In order for those plans to take place, you must be tested w/trials and tribulations. Juss think of all the joy that will come from your suffering. You are all continually in my prayers and i know that you will come out of this smiling, praising God. Chin up, dont quit the race, God is watching out for you!

Today murrks my best friend, heif's 23rd birfday. Dang, i cant believe she's 23, shoot i still cant believe im 22. Ive known her for quite a while now and wow she's amazing. I met her 4 yurrs ago when working at the daycurr. Slowly as we got to know each other, turned out we knew a lot of the same people. Anyway, i praise God for bringing her into my life cuz she's helped me w/so much. She has juss the greatest personality eva, really swe3t and down to earf. Her and i have gone through a lot together and she was one of the reasons why i almost didnt accept the stanton job. We saw each errday at work cuz we whurr coworkers. I was afraid that once i quit things would change and we'd end up loosing touch. 

Yes things did change, but never the less we always kept in touch. Well we still keep in touch, in fact we juss had lunch together last week. We had the best of times together, eating out, getting last min. late nite desserts, teaching SRE together, going shoppin. Her family is the same way, always welcoming to me whenever i come over. My family totally loves her cuz she's so nice. Her bf is lucky to have her cuz she is a good catch.  Im juss glad that no matter how long its been since weve talked, we always pick up right whurr we left off. Praise God for best friends!

Work was the same ol stuff, watched confessions of a teenage drama queen this afternoon. THurrs this kid who is really getting on my nerves. I lost his two dollars by accident the other day. He asked me to hol his $$ and i put in my pocket, well i dont knwo wha happened to it later on. Im assuming it fell or dropped out of my pocket. My feet have been so turrd when i come home i think its from all that running around with the kids in the afternoon.  Ahh last nite was relaxing i was using the foot spa charisse  gave me for my birfday while laying down and watching tv. That was relaxing, ahh one moe day of work...next week is gonna be real hectic!

Prayer meeting was jam packed last nite, but i really felt the spirit alive and moving. I dont remember seeing prayer meeting this packed in a while. Praise God! Its good to see a mixture of bof crowds thurr, the elders and youf. We had some visitors come by too, christy, jon, and johan. It was nice to see errone back t0gether praying as one body in Christ. Its good to see the youf having a good time praising God. Core elections are coming up and that should be interesting to see who'll be on core next yurr.

Please pray for well first off a spirit games dance a thon venue. Im going to try and talk to my boss tomorrow bout using the hall. Ahh please pray that it'll all go well, im kinda skurred to ask w/the whole situation that happened w/SH Cafe. So please pray for an open hurrt that the Holy Spirit will touch. This is pretty much i think our last resort.  So many other things on my mind that i need to take curr of also. Ahh, trying to keep my head on straight, please pray for right discernment and peace.

I love this picture, its like a funny family portrait!

17 more days left till spirit games! 

"Bling bling, it's a Bad Boy thing..."im done, im out God bless!

Back to life, back to reality...forreals

"Dont have Jesus Christ on your lips and the world in your hearts..."
 
So today was the first day back to work...oh why?! Pops texted me saying, 'i think about hawaii at least once a day.' Then i texted him back saying, 'i think about hawaii at least err hour.' Then i look back and subtract 3 hours from whatever time it is hurr. Then i say, 'oh why its only such and such time in hawaii!' I guess the whole hawaii experience impacted me so much that im having these withdrawls...haha then i told pops i loved to stay over thurr until i felt ready to come back hurr. Ahh tis life...ha
 
Work wasnt bad at all today, its juss the fact of having to go back after a nice vacation. Thas the worst purrt of it all, praise God though i dont got a hardcore job whurr id have piles of paperwork to make up. That would definetely suck, so thurr really wasnt no 'catch up, ketchup' for me. The kids seemed like they had a great time while i was gone. My other coworker is really good w/them. Which is nice that they can get along w/bof of us. I remember times at the daycurr the kids didnt like staying w/me. Only cuz i could be very strict and firm at times. 
 
Anyway, i had two new girls come to my program today. I guess they were at the kids nite out on friday. One of the girls, the youngest one was autistic. Which is kinda funny cuz i was juss reading over the weekend on dee's blog bout her working w/autistic kids. Wow i dont know bout having a handful of them in my classroom errday. Maybe im autistic too since i cant sit still! haha The girl was pretty good, thurr whurr times though whurr i had to correct her. She cant speak very well and is very sensitive. The mom told me before she left that if she misbehaves juss to be firm w/her.  Tell her 'no, you need to stop that or else im going to call your mom.'
 
Working w/kids like that is a really good experience for me. This isnt the first time whurr ive had to deal with kids of a handicapp or disorder. When i worked at the daycurr thurr whurr these two little girls, who were deaf.  Well they had hurring aids but that didnt always work. The girls were cute,  the mom would always dress them up like twins. Even though one was a couple yurrs older then the other. Then thurr was this other kid who was adhd. Very smart kid, but when he didnt take his errday medicine, he could get really bad. Thas when the long days would come in...
 
So its an experience getting to work with kids of different types. I think if youre planning on teaching or going into that type of field, working and relating of kids of different types is important. This way you'll be able to learn how to deal w/them and work w/them when certain situations arise. My mom has been working w/pre-skool kids who have disorders/handicapps for like i dont even know how long now. She's real good at it too, maybe thas whurr i get my patience from when working w/kids.  Sometimes her job even consists of changing kid's diapers. Agh, id hate to have to do that if its not my own kid.
 
I brought my hawaii pics from work, i wish i wouldve done them at walmurrt. The ones boss lady got done turned out to be a lot better quality. A lot of mine didnt come out the best and thurrs machine prints on them. I should've complained bout it, on top of all that walmurrt was cheaper too. Oh why?!  This wednesday imma make an attempt, depending on how the day goes to go to yfc. Its been a while since ive hit up that place, so i shall see how errone is doing. Speaking of UCI, i may have a final meeting w/the uci admin. w/leo and mark anthony to decide wha were gonna need. Before i left for hawaii, we had a stage we were gonna use from st. lukes, unfortunately the person felt it was 'too risky' to transport it from temple city to irvine...agH!!!! so now were back to using the $300 uci stage. Oh why?! again!
 
I finally found the dates for the usher/kanye west concert. Back in june burr and i were looking for the dates for the concert hur in LA. THough i couldnt find them, i called errwhurr even ticket master trying to get dates, but they didnt even know. Well i finally found them tonite, and its $50-$70 i think a ticket for the end of august. Hmm...maybe i might juss go...In other news i drove over to  st. philomena to pick up the spirit games fliers from charisse. They turned out really good! Im hoping a lot of people from SH will go, i hope they come out and really represent SH to the fullest.
 
Tomorrow is prayer meeting, geez i havent been to one of those in wah feels like forever. Work will be a lil more chill being its movie day. Oh man first day back to work and ive already had my first cross that i had to curry tonite. My boss gave me a gift today it was like belated birfday gift. He told me him and his wife whurr at the catholic book sturr and they found a statue of St. Jason! I remember fr. paul telling me he glanced at something that said St. Jason when we whurr at the monaseturry. SO thurr is such thing, i was reading the background info. on him, quite intersting, he was a bishop. Im still trying to find wha patron saint he is. Anyway, i thought that was really nice.
 

18 moe days till spirit games!! 
 
"Roll it all around, poke it out, let your back roll..."im done, im out God bless!
 
 

Picture Perfect...Yeah Right

 

"At last i have found my vocation: My vocation is love..." 

Wow im upgrading on this blogger xp thing, and thurrs been some new additions so im trying to get use to it. Anyway, so i saw that movie tonite, 'A Cinderella Story' the one w/Hilary Duf and that guy chad michael murrary or whatever. Yeah it was cute and nice, but yet soo predictable! Your typical cinderella fairy tale yet in the modern era. I think thurrs way too many of these type of movies and thas why many young people today dont know/understand wha thurr vocation is.

They make these movies depicting wha society makes out vocations to be. That errone has a special someone waiting for them. That they'll someday run into each other and fall happily ever after. Now in a sense thas true up to a certain extent. Some people are juss meant to be i guess whas called, 'blessedly single.' For others though, they do either meet that right person that God calls them to be with and lives happily ever after.  I mean juss look it your parents, my grandparents, and now the new mr. & mrs. moya. For some, that right person turns out to be Jesus or the Blessed Mother through a religous vocation.

Now you may think i may sound cyncil or bitter or whatver. I dont curr, cuz im juss trying to keep it real hurr. People hmm i guess misunderstand the term love and really dont know wha it means. Maybe its not all thurr fault cuz society has really done a fantastic job on jackin that up. Living in a world of war, hate, poverty, why even gay marriages now. True love doesnt come from the movies whurr you have the asb president falling in love w/the skool neeeyooow girl. True love comes from letting God's will be done unto you. Letting Him decide for you, wha youre meant to be. Wha/who youre suppose to be with for the rest of your life.

So yes im over analyzing the whole movie, but since im on a role i mine as well keep going. On top of all that stuff they show that you gotta look picture perfect in order to find that person. Thas why so many young people have such low self-esteem as well. Society makes us to be fake people, tells us to get fake stuff done to make ourselves look picture perfect for others. In the end we find out to be unhappy, realizing thas not the person God created. Basically be yourself and let God decide your life for you, its His choice not yours...

I met Jesus today through erica, yall remember erica. The girl who when she first came to prayer meeting was like hyperventaliting w/excitement. Ha i clurrly remember that tues. nite only cuz i think i was sitting right in front of her.  So anyway, she IMed me and told me how she juss came back from this cursuillo youf retreat in riverside. I guess she met some folks from SOL up thurr and they told her how they know SH. They even told her to participate w/SH in spirit games! The flame was found again for her. Which is totally d0pe, praise God! She had a good time she told me doing action songs like 'who builds the faith.' It brought back LSS memories for her she told me. Ha! Anyway, praise God for her being able to get that flame going in her again.

Fr. Kevin had a really good homily this morning bout hospitality. Which seemed to be the major coloraltion or theme between the 1st reading and the gospel. Fr. explained in the koran thurrs some type of teaching that says something like, 'never refuse a glass of water to a stranger...'  Jesus teaches a similar message in Matthew 28:34-37, 'For i was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you closed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'

Hospitality a really important ministry errcommunity needs. To me hospitality is a test to see if you show people you dont know, God's love. Errone wants to feel welcomed, they want to feel as if they belong to the group. Coming brand new into a brand new environment not knowing anyone isnt the easiest thing to do. Ha ive gone through that often times. By taking time out and talking to that new person you've shown them exactly what Jesus speaks of in Matthew 28.

Ive said this before, but when i go out and explore new communities, hospitiality is one thing i look for. Does the group make the effort to welcome the new people? Not juss during prayer meeting, but after is when it really counts. Sometimes new people come and at the end juss kinda stand thurr waiting to be acknowledged, waiting for someone to talk to them. Jeanne does a really good job at this, she makes the effort to talk the new people. FInd out whurr theyre from etc. etc. and even invites them to chill w/us afterwurrds @ mcdonalds.  So make sure you take the extra time out to get to know and show God's love to new peeps. Its not easy being the new person.

Okay well the real reality sturrts tomorrow morning @ 11am. Oh why?! THen i gotta pick up spirit games fliers at the ninis tomorrow nite after work. Ah were still missing a dance a thon venue. Ahh im gonna try st. polycarp, but it might be hurrd now that thurrs a brand new pastor thurr. Please pray that we find one! Im gonna attempt to talk to fr. kevin again bout using sPvs.

:sigh: i miss maui!

19 moe days till spirit games! 

"On fire like a rocket and I'm ready to blow..."im done, im out God bless!

 

"Marriage has three blessings. THe first is children, to be recieved and raised for GOd's service. The second is the loyal faithfulness by which each serves the other. THe third is the sacrament of matrimony, which signifies the inseperable union of Christ with His Church..."

Today murrks 28 yurrs of Holy Matrimony for my parents. Wow 28 yurrs, thas something to really praise God for. They've gone through rough times and none the less good times but throughout it all, they've stuck it out together. Praise God! My dad is the only one left murried on his side of the family. My parents are juss perfect for each other, and i praise God for the both of them.

I had lunch @ islands with heif yesterday. Ha im still having hawaii withdrawls, so i had to have my pinacoloda. It's been a while since we've chilled being the way our schedules are. Never the less we still manage to find time to eat and catch up. We had a good time reminsicing on all the good times we had w/our other friends. Afterwurrds we dropped by our ol bosse's house to stop and say since we whurr in the area. Ahh im sure glad i dont work for her anymore...ha really!

Dropped by burr and boss lady's house yay (aka the new mr. & mrs. moya)to drop off thurr wedding gift. We had a good times shurring bout maui and thurr honeymoon trip to kauai ha i was almost gonna spell kuwaitt!hahha ANyway, i help them run errands like post office, wal-murrt, turrget, video sturr, and the bizank. Fun times! After i went to go watch irobot by myself cuz i really wanted to see it. I ended up falling asleep through parts of it, oh why?! I guess i was really turrd, so i must see it again! I also wanna see a cinderella sturry ha it looks tight!

Anyway, so the weekend is slowly coming to an end. How im not looking forward into going back to work! Agh! So many big things coming up at work agh! Then i cant believe yfc conference is coming up in 2 weeks! Right after that is spirit games then scrc...ahhh bring me back to hawaii now! haha Hey at least this summer has been spent doing productive things that will help bring Him glory. Churrs to the rest of the summer!

Oh so i was at walmurrt and turrget these past couple days and as i was walking by the asiles i saw skool supplies! agH!!! you know wha that means...yes skool is coming up. agh!

Today was reirich's birfday, man i cant believe its been 2 yurrs already since ive known the guy. Reirich angeles, aka tito rr as errone else calls him. I can clurrly remember the first time meeting this guy. It all sturrted in dec. of 2002. We were at one of the nursing homes doing our caroling and kuya ariel walks in w/this guy. We all thought, 'who the heck is this guy?' Soon to find out his name was reirich. I guess he really liked us cuz he continued to stay w/us through our other caroling activities.

I remember that one time he even brought a couple of his friends, karen and umm jocelle. Slowly he sturrted to come to prayer meetings and sturrted to chill and hang out w/us. When i got to know him i learned a lot bout him in the couple times we had hung out. Wha totally amazed me bout the guy that i thought was d0pe was how he was finished w/skool. I mean totally done w/his masters in errthang @ 22. Then i got to ride his white mercedes! I was feelin that! OH i remember i drove to his house in the hills of anaheim haha and he drove to tyler mall in riverside. Thas when i got to ride in his mercedes, with the seats that warm up. haha

Ive watched this guy totally grow in his faith, and i really admired his perseverance in wanting to know more about his faith. Its not often you get some who juss barely joins a community and wants to know so much right away. I always thought it was d0pe how he would go to daily mass errmorning. Praise God for reirich who has stuck through some pretty hurrd times. Praise GOd for bringing this d0pe brotha into the community. PRaise God for w/o him as ive said before, i wouldnt of made all the bomb uci friends i have now. So mr. angeles, hip hip hooray for your day! haha


On wednesday was ms. jennifer verlasco's birday aka achie. My achie wha i can say bout this girl. Ive been blessed to have such an awesome big sista in my life. She's been my SRE aide for two yurrs in a row and has helped me shurr the faith w/the kids. She's always thurr to lend a helping hand or even juss listen and advise when you have probs. She gives the best massages that helps me rest my tired body. Her strong faith inspires me to keep on going even when its hurrd to do. She's a great friend who i know i can rely on. Praise God for you achie!

Thurr seems to be many birfdays in the month of july. I guess its juss booming w/furrworks. So i keep on counting back the time each time i look at a clock. Im still in the maui daze, wishing i was still kinda thurr. I thought a week ago today i was at the wedding reharsal and then at mc gillycuddys with bob and cenicio later on that nite. I looked out in the sky and i saw no sturrs. Tues. nite when i was collecting sand on the beach i saw how beautiful the sky looked with all those sturrs. :sigh: i miss maui...

Today was a busy one, i woke up an hour later then i wanted to. I had all these errands to run. I had to return these snorkling set i bought @ turrget before i left. Which i didnt even bother to take w/me to hawaii. Turned in my pics to get developed. Went to return the laptop that i borrowed. Went to cerritos mall and returned these board shorts i didnt whurr. MY peebs got me some new ones, so thurrs no sense in having three. Praise God the macys receipt i threw in my trash before i left was still in the trash!

Came home and picked up lunch for my mom and i. WEnt to drop off my sounveinors at my grandparents house. They were excited to see me, my grandpa kept telling me next time to bring my grandma w/me. haha I asked him if he wanted to go and he said, 'no im too old.' haha aww he asked me if i saw in filipinos in hawaii too. haha He's too funny, praise God for great grandparents! After lunch went to ross and returned this dress shirt i was going to use originally w/my blue suit that i also had returned.

Took a small nap watching i love the 90's. Ive been skipping yurrs each tiem i turn it on it gets later and later. THough i so clurrly remember each event that they bring up. Its so funny to see all those things, for thas when i was growing up. Juss think w/leilani, ahulana, josh, and elijiah will be watching later on 'i love the 2000's' when they get to be my age! haha wow...thas skurry! Went back to turget to pick up my digital prints, which most of them came out nice. The water ones didnt come to the greatest, oh well. It was hurrd trying to swim, hold the cam and take a picture at the same time.

My old coworker called and so we were on the phone talking for bout almost 2hrs. Its nice catching up w/ol friends. Heif and i are going to lunch tomorrow, i think i wanna go to islands so i buy anotha drink. I also need to get a currwash and get gas. Charisse called me this afternoon and so i was talking to her for a while. Yup, errthang is definetly back to normal. Agh im so not ready to get back to work though on monday. Oh why?! Tomorrow morning the burr and boss lady come back yay! I missed them!


I miss maui, i miss aloha mixed grill!

"If youre asking do I love you this much,I do..."im done, im out GOd bless!

A small little friend we met inside some of our boxes when we got to maui! haha

"True perfection consists in having but one fear; the fear of losing God's friendship..."

Its hard to believe that im back in the state full of the fast life, ugly smoggy sky, and a whole lot more. Its probably going to have to take a week before i adjust back to the 3hr time difference. As much as i wanted to stay longer, im glad that im back. Though eva since i left, all i think bout is the great, fun, exciting times at maui. You need at least a whole entire week to finish errthang. Although, boss lady's friends bob and jr. were able to explore the entire island. I wish we had the time to do that, though i know it wouldve been a drive to go over there. Oh well...next time i go to hawaii, its gonna be ohahu. Until then its back to life, back to reality...

Saturday and sunday were all out jam packed days. Saturday evening we all went clubbin' at this hip hop club i dont know whurr. Then myra, fred, jr.,bob, jennif, banne, and i left @ like 230am and drove up to watch the Haleakala Sunrise. Its a bout a 2 hr drive to the mountain to see something soo wow and mesmorizing. Im sure some of you have seen the sunrise from maybe the beach or whatver. THough this is the best, going to the top of the crater and seeing the sunrise. Watching it and juss really praising God for His beauty. I juss dont know how to describe into words, except its beautiful. ALthough its a drive up thurr and a drive down thurr, its soo worf it.



Sunday morning oh man i was so exahusted! I got back to the hotel at bout 9am juss enough time to shower and get ready for mass. My body was dead, my eyes felt so heavy, all i could think bout was sleep. On top of that the church was real hot also, which didnt help. After mass was over, i took a nice shower and layed down on the couch. At first i thought maybe i wont sleep and ill juss go through the day. Then as i was laying down i got sleepy and finally fell asleep.

Woke up with juss enough time to watch the luau. I was still kinda sleepy as i was standing in line waiting for the luau. So the luau was great! It was an all you can eat buffet, with an open bar! Ooh yeah! they had these pineapple drinks you can buy for $10 and have all you can drink in it. Im going to miss those drinks!


Yum!

Monday the girls went parasailing, i shouldve gone! I was thinking it was something, ahh so i wished i wouldve gone. MOnday we went to the beach and went searching for these beaches w/red and black sand. However, all we found was big waves. I lost my google cuz the waves were so huge! Though it was a lot of fun trying to ride waves w/the body board. Im going to miss those clear water beaches. Ahh

So the nite before we left fred and i took a small quick tour of the town of Lahaina. It was a last min. random spontaneous thing but it was a lot of fun. Driving around taking pictures of errthang that were going to miss in maui. So come along, take a friend and take a tour of the lahaina with me!


Haha we saw this on the way to aloha mixed grill, we thought it was pretty funny. At nite the 'coming soon' doesnt lite up and all you see is 'Jesus.'


This was jaymee's and i fav place to eat! oh yum!!! The chicken drumettes, the kalbi short ribs and the drinks oh man theyre so bomb!!! On tuesday when errone came back from snorkling i drove ova thurr and had my own pinacolada while i waited for my take out food! This tops l & l, the loft, & matikis! I wish thurr was one ova hurr!


Right next to my fav fast food joint was my fav sturr to go shopping in. i dont think thurr is a local motion sturr in cali, well maybe thurr is in LA. Anyway, i bought some really d0pe stuff at this sturr. I bought this really d0pe quicksilver backpack that im lovin. Local motion i love it!


Safeway the 24 hrs small little murrket to get some food for those late nite hunger pains.


The bayan tree its like one of the largest or biggest trees in the world or something like that. You can literally climb on that tree and be connected to all the other trees in the small purrk area. Its a great place to over watch the harbor, to read, chill or why this could even be a great date place! hehe

AHh dickenson street, walk straight down dickenson to get to front street. This was the street i walked down to errday, it was like my daily walk. A great way to sturrt your morning, wake up, shower, get ready, and take dickeson to front street. Yay!


Front street ahh yes i love it! This was the street that all that happening things going on. This was the street i walked down errday, up and down, up and down. Though your feet can get pretty tired cuz the walk gets pretty long. I wanted to rent a moped but they were all rented out for the day and i was leaving the next day oh why?!
