Everyone Has to go Sometime...



"God turns himself away, not so much from those who sin, as far from those who arent stricken with fear after they sin..."

It's been a couple of days since I've really last blogged. This past weekend, I havent really had much rest. Which is kinda skurry cuz this morning when I was at sPv, I started to get the chills for a brief moment. So, I'm going to need to find time this week to juss kinda chill. All weekend its been back to back things going on w/meetings and other things. Yet another busy week filled with so many different things going on. THe election which is only a couple of days away! Yikes! I'm skurred to find out that whurr gonna have 4 moe yurrs of dubya. Im crossing my fingers that if dubya wins, then at least the democrats can take control of the senate...ahhh I'm curious to see how the tues. nite is going to end up being like.

So on thurs. nite after sre, I had gone out to dinner w/heif. It was fun we did the whole catching up on whas been going on. We had this really good convo. in the curr bout jobs and wha I should do. As of now, I'm still leaning in the direction of searching for a new place. A fresh new sturrt, and if I have to then I'll go back to working on fridays again. We'll see I juss gotta surrender it to God's hands and see whurr he wants me. ANyway, so we ate at the cheesecake factory at the spectrum. It was really chilly, you can feel the cold brisk winter air sturrting to come in. I wanted this thai type of dish but I didnt want the curry sauce in it. (alaine's fav flava! haha) UNfortunately, I juss settled for the calamari which was really good still!

It was funny while we were sitting thurr in the back eating, these large group of id say freshmen in college or seniors in hs come in and sit near us. Heif and I werre bof laughing cuz it felt like this was a scene from that show 'laguna hills-the real oc.' They were sitting thurr laughing and juss talking loud non-stop. It was one of the girls birfdays or something. Though it was juss funny cuz they fit the description of the cast members from that show. The weather that nite was juss the perfect time of where you juss cant wait to jump into bed and knock out.

Friday, I was working all day pretty much from 12-10pm. I was so dreading it, the whole day, but thurr was nothing I could do. I didnt think it was gonna take 4 hours to set errthang up, but apparently it did. It sucked cuz one of those things that block the street fell on my toe. Oh man praise God I didnt break it cuz I was hurting for the rest of the nite. It still even hurts to this day. The place got jam packed in no time. WIth kids of all ages in thurr costume, the clean up went fairly fast. Good thing we had those key clubbers thurr ot help put to work. All nite I was thinking bout my foot spa, ha. So when I got home I hooked it up and rested my feet in nice hot water. I easily was able to knock out afer that.

Saturday, we had our first core meeting for the new term. Which reminds me I need to send out the notes for that meeting. It was a good, fruitful meeting, talked a lot bout some upcoming events. It's kinda funny see a whole set (except for reirich)of new faces at the table. THough I know these new core leaders have so much energy and wha not to help the grow the community. After core, I came home and knocked out trying ot catch up on my sleep. Then bought my halloween haunt ticket last minute, I was suprised they still had extras left.

I told randell that well juss purrk at my house and we'll all juss walk over to haunt. Geez, I havent done that in ages! It was coo though, I met this new girl named angela who was in yfc in milipitas up norf. We were bof laughing at the fact that when it comes to walking, we bof have a habit of walking at a fast pace. It was fun she was shurring w/me bout her experience w/yfc up norf. Then shurring w/me the vietnamese catholic culture. So it was interesting to learn some of those characteristics.

Its been geez like 4-5 yurrs since I've last gone to haunt. We were anle to go through pretty much all the walk thru mazes. I was more less hiding and skurring errone else inside the mazes. We all had a good time though, we were juss going maze after maze after maze. Towards the end we went go watch this one show over in ghost town and it was freakin crazy! This guy was called like tortue man or something like that, it was weird but very intriguing at the same time. He was eating broken pieces of glass to stick a needle through his tounge. WOw...the weird people we have now a days. haha WE tried to go on ghostrider but they freakin closed it!

So we left at around 115am after finishing the last maze 'the asylum' one. That was probably the best one. I actually did jump w/that one. Though I got kristel fama and toni really good w/that one also. ON the way out, I had bought cotton candy for $1. This guy yelled out, 'how come its only $1 out hurr and in thurr I bought it for $3?!" Then the lady was like 'its discounted now babeh' haha We tried to look for different plaves to eat but errthang was closed. They all went to get pho but I was too tired to drive down and get some. I said to myself, 'pho-get it.' hahahaha! Pops likes that one! haha The walk on the way home was fun as well, I meet this girl named katrina. SO it was good times getting to know others who you've never met and juss bonding with errone else.

Okay imma end hurr for tonite, happy halloween! This was the first nite, whurr I didnt go trick or treating in forever. Imma be giving a talk this wed. nite at yfc on the saints and Mama Mary, please pray for me! Ill add more later on...


Dont forget to vote!!!!

Backed Up

"The mother of faith is hard work and upright heart; the one who builds up belief, the other makes it endure..."

So check it, I've been having probs w/phone again since mon. Apparently, I realized last nite I havent been receiving any incoming texts. I can send out texts, but not receive them. Well, I go to cingular today and the guy plays w/it, then says, 'there you go.' Me thinking, errthang was okay, texted pops to check if it was okay. THen i found out it wasnt, boo! I called cingular and I get the customer service, I ask to speak to a tech. Well she asks wha the problem is, so I end up having to go through her, when I know she wont be able to fix my problem!

Agh! Finally she goes let me transfer you to the tech. Agh! Im on the phone w/tech and I explained all over again wha the problem was. She does wha she can to check settings blah blah. I told her that I dont like this phone, im having too many probs w/it. There isnt really nothing they can do unless I juss buy a new phone. Well praise God cuz she fixes the problem and so after that I get an abuduance of text messages from the past two days!

Alaine calls me today at work and then after I get off, I see the vmail icon come up. I check my vmail and I have 7 messages! It finally dawned on to me, that since mon. nite I havent been able to receive any calls and text messages for some reason. So, I had all these people calling me leaving me messages, I felt bad too cuz some people called me and well didnt leave messages but called. Praise God that my phone is all working again, but dang I want to go and get a brand new phone now. I was checking out the nokia site and wow, thurr are some pretty nice phones coming out soon.

I think im getting tired of working, I think Im in need of a fresh new sturrt somewhurr else. I love wha I do, and I love my coworkers and errthang they do to accomodate me, but Im juss not feelin it anymore. We had a staff meeting for the upcoming event on friday, and I sat thurr realizing I dont want to do the whole special event thing anymore. Certains parts of me miss working at the daycurr, juss the easiness of it, convience blah blah, no weekend work unless thurr was a training. The hurrd purt was the whole staying in ratio part and being called all the time. Bleh! To be perfectly honest, it would be nice to leave before the holidays start. Though, at teh same time I know I cant do that to them. Ahh one of the hard parts is to find someone who'll pay as much as I'm making now.

It looks like I have plans for this saturday now! yay!! I was beginning to question wha I was going to do this weekend. Though I dont have to question no mo ha. Randell invited me to go w/some of the rest of the uciers w/skurry furrm. I figured I mine as well, I had nothing else specically planned. Besides its like 5 min. away from my house, soo it shall be fun times. I havent gone thurr in like 4 yurrs too! Alaine thinks that juss cuz i chill w/a particular people a lot means thurr my best friend. ha She told me that reirich and I were best friends, juss cuz we went out on sun. I told her, her new nickname was the heartbreaker kid! hahaha

I was kinda blown away by one of my kids tonite. I had IMed him thanking him for playing the geetar last nite. You probably think its kinda funny that I talk to them online. So anyway, the convo. kinda went like this...
JPFish187: how old is your sister?
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: 18
JPFish187: ohh
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: at hawaii
JPFish187: oh shes going to skool in hawaii?
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: university of hawaii at manoa
JPFish187: dang...
JPFish187: same place you want to go?
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: nah...im going to harvard
JPFish187: dang...hardcore
JPFish187: thas great
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: yea rite
IPiIN0ixIBoi33: ill try tho
JPFish187: yeah it doesnt hurt to try

No its not wha you think, i wasnt trying to hook up w/his sister. We were talking bout how his sister and someone else I know were 'talking' before. So anyway, I was inspired by juss the fact I know this guy is real smart. He goes to troy, in fact I told alaine i was gonna make him ask her to go to winterformal w/her! haha I have no doubt though he can make it ot harvard. Really good kid, juss sometimes well you know how all kids are.

OKay, I must sleep, gotta wake up early for class! Nothing beats though a nice hot shower to start your morning off! Ha were dressing as turrget team members for work tomorrow, and I still gotta find something to get for potluck. Oh why?! OH yeah if you can, please pray for an old teacher I had in elementary skool. She was really close to my family when I was going to skool. Anywya,they recently found out that she has a tumor in her liver. Please pray for her healing! Thanks!!


please pray for some my special intentions.

"I want to take you there..."im done, im out God bless!

Overjoyed



"Let me get through it today, and I shall not fear tomorrow..."

Wow so many different things going on, whurr shall I begin? Well we got dsl now so well be getting rid of our AOL account soon. Which kinda sucks cuz Ive had AOL forever, then to ahve a whole new email account kinda sucks. I hate changes sometimes haha cuz then you gotta get use to errthang and blah blah blah. On top of that my plate is piling up w/so many different things going on. Its a little stressful, but I know God doesnt give me anything I cant handle. Let's see I also put in my app. for CSUDH for the fall. So please, please keep me in your prayers that I'll get accepted. I know I havent blogged in ages, so hurr's a update for yall, so brace yourself it maybe another long one. Ha it may seem a little unorganized w/my thoughts juss kinda jumping all over the place.

It's funny whenever I teach/talk bout reconciliation w/my thurs. kids, soo many questions pop up. I was explaining/defininng the sacrament, what is, what you do, importance of it etc. They're so funny cuz some of them sturrt to get a little skuured. One of the kids said, he doesnt want to go face to face cuz he saw some skurry movie whurr something happened in the confessional. Great! Then the questions of, 'well wha happens if you forget?' or 'do you gotta tell him everything?!!' then the all time favorite, 'are they gonna tell our parents or something?' haha kids I love it!

I titled this overjoyed after realizing something the past couple of weeks. Confirmation went real well last nite, I was able to 'convince' one of my kids after seeing them on mass on sun. to play the geetar for class. We'll for the past month, we've been singing the Mother Mary song, so we've been using the CD. No more CD for us though, ha I gave one of my kids the cords to learn it on the geetar, so we sang it straight from the geetar last nite. Wow it was juss great cuz I really felt the presence of the spirit thurr w/us last nite. THen we finished 'catholic relationships 203' last nite. The past two weeks we've been focusing on relationships and dating. Praise God for banne who sent me these really good articles in terms of dating. It was really good cuz the guy who wrote couldnt of put it any better.

It seems like after the past two weeks of discussing it, they got a lot out of it. Which really good, praise God! The next purrt is juss them hopefully remembering errthang we discussed and applying in thurr lives. Im gonna be sad after may comes and thurr confirmed cuz they wont be mine anymore. Truly these guys are one of the many things GOd has truly blessed me with. At the same time, it made me realize juss how much passion I have to teach. How definetly this is something I would love to do for the rest of my life. Working w/kids you juss get this incredible feeling of happiness, even in the times of frustrations and errthang else. Im sure those like jaymee and banne can attest for this. Especially teaching SRE you get soo much out of it, even yourself cuz the kids feed you at the same time you feed them. Hurr's a scenario that me laugh last nite, I was passing out papers and it went a little something like this:

student: jason...

me: yes?

student: are you dating anyone?

me: (laughs) no

student: are you talking to anyone? or seeing anyone?

me: I laugh again, '(Name), why are you so interested in my personnel life.

student: because I've known you for a long time already, and i want to see you get murried and have kids.

I juss thought that was funny, despite the fact that I'm far from ready for anythign like that, it was juss funny she asked. Its moments like those that make you laugh, smile look up and say, 'Praise God.' Yeah, class isnt always easy, especially when thurr talking but you can juss see it in your eyes the yearning to learn and want to know more. Its even more exciting to see some of my boys come and help me out on thursday nites, since thurr siblings are going through classes on thurs. anyway. ITs crazy though at the same time how I've had soo many of thurr siblings whether on thurs. or tues. in the past. I'm so blessed, that I am.

We had our first official household on monday at my work, I was working at the same time while having household. It was long, but never the less it was coo. Despite the fact thurr was only 5 of us out of wha 12 or 11, it was still fun. We were looking up jordan's friendster after household was over. Household should be fun being that we all know each other and blah blah. So now pretty much errday of my week is filled up.

It seems that I'm not able to receive text messages as of late, I dont know why. As of sunday I was still able to receive them. Now I gotta go to the cingular sturr and check it out to see whas the matter is. Agh I hate calling cuz Im on the phone forever. I didnt realize also that my contract expires in january of next yurr, rather then july. So now that att & t and cingular are officially, 'one' its gonna be interesting to see the changes that are gonna happen. I need to go over to cingular anyway to find out bout unlimited text and the 1000 any time for $39.99 before my billing plan expires.

POps and I had a briefing bout goals and plans for the first core term. It's gonna be exciting, a lot of hurrd work but never the less good. More good things are coming to SH that Im confident that God will continue to use this community to produce more good fruits. I'm also excited to see the new leaders grow and help this community grow. I jokingly told him last wednesday, 'your first 100 days have now sturrted.' haha Speaking of elections, its hurrd to believe one week from now we'll hopefully have a new president. I dont think I've ever seen so many different tv stations emphasize the importance of voting. Im also glad to see so many young people getting involved in the election. Its probably gonna be one of the most important elections in our time.

This past couple months I dont think I've ever driven down to anaheim hills so much haha! Went out to fridays w/reirich on sunday, then came back to have a very interesting conference call w/alaine. ha We sat thurr listening to hurr analyze 'fashion.' She gave reirich her speel on wha you are if you whurr a certain brand or type of clothing. It was so funny cuz before she called we were sitting thurr and we juss sturrted to do a whole timeline from the time he came into the community till now. It's hurrd to believe he's only been around 2 yurrs but it seems so much longer. Anyway, good times, great guy to chill with...he's a good listener...sometimes...ha joking.

I have a new fav tv show now, remember that show new york undercover? It use to be on thursday nites like @ 9pm long time ago. I love watching that show! I watch it now in the mornings. ITs bout those two decetives, one's black and the other's latino. I remember coming home on thurs. nites after sre and turning it on to channel 11 juss to watch new york undercover.

Agh im hoping its gonna rain on friday nite, but its highly doubtful. Im getting tired of working special events. Actually im getting tired of working altogether! I keep forgetting to look at the job fliers at work. I think if all I did was after skool program and not have to work special events, then it'd be coo. THen we have all the holiday events coming up as well, oh its gonna be one busy rest of the yurr. I can't even believe how fast this yurr is slowing ending. Hey makeitclaps 2nd birfday is coming up in a month! haha Wow makeitclap will turn 2 this yurr! haah makeitclaps birfday is also the 50 11 other birfdays going on next month. Wow!!

OH! I went to friendship games on sat. w/calvin, we came at the end of it. Anyway, I was juss kinda laughing to myself cuz obviously the first thought that came into mind was 'spirit games.' So we walked around and saw all these d0pe shirts from the different skools. Like I saw one group that had a shirt that said, 'I love TM.' The same type of like the 'I love NY' shirts. I thought that'd be d0pe to have for SH! I love SH! haah Wha else oh yeah this other group had a shirt that said, 'f.o.b.' which said on the back, 'friendship or bust' haha THen thurr was this other skool who had this other shirt that was made by lrg but had this long all thing in back, which I thought was tight. Calvin was making fun of me cuz I wanted to take all these ideas to use.

Okay thas all for now, I gotta run some errands. So in the meantime, enjoy these pics!! I've been meaning to post them forever but juss barely got them yay!!


core meeeting!!!


The 'lucky' server at the mac grill...haha

You Can't Do it Alone

"The soul at prayer is a rock, because God holds it fast in his infinite love..."

First off a very happy birfday shout out goes to leslie! I've known this girl since she was in elementary skool. I praise God for really working in this girl, and its so amazing to see how much she has grown in her faith. How much she has really matured and grown up to be the great girl she is now. It's so funny how I use to go her house to chill w/her brother and now if I go to her house its for her. Praise God how he's brought her to this community and allowed her to grow closer to Him. In a sense she's always been like a younger sister to me for juss so many different reasons. I remember picking her up for her first LSS, wow...So anyway, happy birfday to you leslie!!

The sun is sturting to come out, which is alright. THough I love the rain and juss the cold aurr. I was thinking how blessed I am having a nice bed etc. etc. Juss cuz thurr are so many people who I'm sure there are sooo freakin cold at nite cuz they have no shelter. I need to get an umbrellea, I dont have one for my own. Although, I hate currying those things around cuz I always end up forgetting it then having to go back and get it! agH! So I guess no mo rain until...I guess for a while.I have so much stuff to get done for skool before next week. Oh why?! I have two papers I need to write, and study for maf. Agh, movitatation for skool is slowly fadding away. Ha

You'd never believe what happened at work yesterday. Well, I have this volunteer who sturttted to help me out yesterday. She needed to service hours for skool. So anyway, she was helping me do my programs yesterday. After it was over we go back into the room and I realize two things were missing. Her purse #1 and #2 my cell phone. First reaction, the kids from across the street! So hurr I am searching all over for her purse and my phone. THen went straight to the club. Well we ended up finding the girls purse, one of the little girls jacked it and stole #5 from it! As for my phone, well hehe I found it fell on the floor. THough I wouldnt put it pass those kids to do something like that. Praise God we found errthang!

WEnt to YFC last nite, it's been a while since I've gone down thurr and it was fun. Played bang!bang! Had a great praise & worship led by abby. It took me forever cuz of all the traffic thurr was. Apparently, Bob Dylan was having a concert at the bren center. So it was jam packed, on top of all the rain also pouring down. Anyway, randell gave a really d0pe talk bout hmm the importance of community. Explaining how being at college its hurrd cuz you may not know anyone and blah blah. Juss shurring what the yfc community has done for him personally. How he came in not knowing anyone, became involved w/yfc at uci and its like this 2nd home. So I guess in a sense juss confirms we cant do anything on our own. The importance of having brothers and sisters thurr for you. Ahh i love it!!

The mc donalds monopoly game is back, I always play but yet I never really win anything. Its soo hurrd to win anything big on that stupid game. That new ll cool j video his son is playing in it, its crazy cuz his son really looks like him too. Ahh another weekend is hurr, praise God! Im feelin for molcs hmm good thing alaine owes me molca salsa! hahahah yum!



Happy birfday leslie!!

"Do it my way, my way..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Singing in the Rain!

"Those whose are hearts are pure are temples of the Holy Spirit..."

Praise God for such nice weather! I love the cold aurr the winter breeze of the wind blowing by. Ahh yes, summer is definitely gone, for now at least. The rain was juss the best all day today. These past days are juss real perfect chill weather, weather to sleep in and juss watch movies all day. THis weather really reminds of christmas weather, whurr the malls are jam packed and you cant find any purrking. Halloween isnt even over yet, thanksgiving isnt even hurr yet and we have holiday stuff already. My how the days, the months, and the yurrs pass by.

Anyway, I had taken the day off so I can do all I can to help get things ready for the anniversary. THough once you have a day off, its like you never want to go back to work again. :Sigh: Im in the process of praying on how much longer imma stay thurr. JOb stability is good, and they give me errthang I need, i juss I guess dont want to work anymore! ha In a sense I miss the good ol days working at the daycurr. Despite the fact the kids would stress me out, juss the convience of errthang.

SKool is really sturring to pick up, especially since im anticipating this will be my 2nd to last semester before I transfer. We had a oral quiz today in history, agh praise God I didnt call on. THe instructor has been letting us out so late the past couple times. In psych I didnt even bother to take down lecture! ha I knew how hectic of a day today was gonna be, so I was putting together an outline for confirmation. AGh then math, agh I really hate math, nuff said. It was niec to feel the rain slowly juss drip drop as I was walking to my curr. Then heard alaine complain bout the rain, I love the rain!!

OoOh so this girl comes to my door today and is offering some type of currpet cleaning. She was really cute too, it was coo cuz she was real nice and swe3t. Anyway thas the highlight of the day...ha joking. Jay came over and we went to the bp mall and ran some errands. Ran into my old coworker at ross. Its crazy to see how she's still thurr, shes the only original one still working thurr since the sturr opened back in aug. of 99. I remember those days, always had to work closing shift, always working the weekends. Agh! She's always been like the 'work mom' to me whenver I was thurr. Juss real genuine and caring, I love those type of people. Juss have that charisma of friendliness and happiness. Always so positive and full of constant love to give.

For the past week now, ever since last tues. I've been preparing articles etc. for my confirmation lesson tonite. The topic was relationships the catholic way, going over the 'dos' and 'donts.' Last week I sturrted to give them the whole 'car analogy' in terms of dating. They sturrted to laugh thinking that they go for the 'cheapest' one they can find. Praise God for banne's ol entry from when she was curr shopping. I used that exact analogy and went over errthang step by step, the way she broke it down on her blog. It was a very interactive, using the whole car comparison. Abe told me after class even he got a lot out of it, praise God! Im hoping they got a lot out of it.
I was upset though cuz I had one kid who juss fell asleep during the whole talk! Then I have another kid who helps out w/the childrens liturgy of the word on sun, yet doesnt go to mass. Ahh the most frustrating part of teaching SRE is finding out your kids arent making an effort to get to mass.

The anniversary was fun, sooo much good food! Jaymee put together a great slideshow for the ol core. My household was thurr to help support which was cool. I heard fr. paul's homily was great, I wish I was thurr to hurr it. So as one journey ends, so a whole new one begins. I'm excited for this next term, all the things God has planned for the community. It's been a bumpy couple of months, but praise God! Cuz how would we ever know joy if we never suffered any pain? Jaymee and I had a really good convo. bout fidelity to Jesus. I guess this was something fr. paul brought up during his homily.

We began to talk bout how we always talk bout relationships and the whole, 'wha would you do if that person cheated on you?' type thing. IN the same sense, we, the people make up the church and the church is the bride of Christ. So how many times have 'we' cheated on Christ himself. How many times have we been careless in the way we serve God. Any normal person, would probably end the relationship if they found out thurr 'so(siginficant other) was cheating on them. Yet Jesus is soo curring and forgiving that he forgets bout wha we did and only wants us to come back to him. He only wants us to love him more, his unconditional love for us. So we must share that same love in serving one another I guess when ti comes down to it. Jaymee and I were bof saying how it really keeps us accountable in what we do and say. Praise GOd!

I've been reading the book, 'the great faith,' and wow so much I want to shurr w/yall on hurr. Yet it's gonna have to wait another time cuz I'm worn out. I cant believe I didnt leave sPv till almost 1130pm! ANyway, please keep some of my special intentions in your prayers along w/the new core group.


I looooooove thr rain!!!

"All I hear is raindrops, falling on the roof top..."im done, im out GOd bless!

HaPpy AnNivErSaRy Servant's Heart!

"We have to serve God in His ways, not in ours..."






What a busy day it was, though I think it was productive. My phone though has been going off ever since this afternoon. With either vmails, (since I dont get reception in the building at work) or text messages. Praise God I called errone back who called me. Agh thas my pet peeve, is when someone calls you and you dont bother to call or text them back! Work was pretty coo, confession w/fr. John and some great advice he gave me for my 'lecture-talk' tonite. After work, went to abe's to plan for tonite's lesson plan. His purrents are really cool people, his mom kept offering me to eat her spaghetti she made, as much as I was tempted, I was full as it was already. Abe's a good kid, I'm glad Spirit lead him to want to get more involved in his own parish. We had a good talk bout juss errthang from relationships, to the high tech techonology of today. Praise God for all this great stuff!

Anyway, praise God for today murrks Servant's Heart 7yurr Anniversary! Wow 7 yurrs! It feels like two yurrs ago when were celebrating our 5yurr anniversary! ha Praise God for these past 7 yurrs, 7 yurrs of growing and blessings. I've been so blessed myself personally to be welcomed into this community. I can still remember the first time I stepped into the duurs of room b for a prayer meeting. I can still remember my first LSS when kuya alvin prayed over me during the baptism. I remember that furr I had to serve the church and really come to know my faith. If it wasnt for this community, who I call some of my closest friends, I dont know whurr I'd be right now.

Being in the community, I've learned so much, and yet through this commmunity, I still am learning and constantly growing. And for me, it's not bout burrs and music, I walk w/God I got the scurrs to proove it...hah jk Naw forreal, its not bout whether I'm serving on core or not, its juss about serving God in any way I can. Sure, we've all had our ups and downs, but thas why thurr called 'growing pains.' I dont think one from any community, can say that through however long they've been around its all been roses. Err group has thurr joys and pains, but its not about dwelling in the hurts we've experienced. Its all bout thanking GOd for giving us those hurts and praising Him for getting us through them. As the saying goes, 'one cannot go through an easter sunday, without going through a good friday.'

Exepert from Jaymee's blog on 060604: I truly believe that only a fool can say that a person doesn't need community. EVERYONE needs community. One coal can not burn alone my friend. And we have all seen people who don't have community and know that it is impossible to be influenced by and feed off of the Holy Spirit in others if you are not around them. So praise God for the Spirit in each of you, who strive to make my spirit laugh and smile and love and worship our Lord.(Did you know that one definition of worship is "to be dependent upon" therefore, doesn't it make sense that EVERYONE worship God.)

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, Servant's Heart has been a home away from home for me. Sometimes its even to the point, whurr I get 'home sick' or 'community sick' whurr I sturrt to miss my community. You may think I'm weird, but I put a couple of pics of SH in my bible. Juss a reminder, that no matter whurr I go or whurr I'm at, to have a 'Servant's Heart.' Each time I see any of thurr faces, it juss brings smiles and joy to my little puso. So thank you Lord, for giving me these great people, which I can call my brothers and sisters. They are truly an example of a what it is to have a 'Servant's Heart.'










Happy 7 yurrs Servant's Heart!!!!


"You've shown us how to live with a servant's heart..." im done, im out God bless!

Baby Its Cold Outside...

"No one heals himself by wounding another..."

So once again this yurr, I didnt get to go to silverado days. After core yesterday we were gonna go but then it sturrted to drizzle, yeah fo shizzle, so we had to cross that idea out. Anyway, it the cold aurr and the rain was real nice yesterday. Its nice to see that coldness of fall is sturrting to keek in now. I love dressing all warm in sweaters and jackets. I like dressing up, but dressing up casually ha. Like juss long sleeve shirts and cargos or jeans is fun. THough formally and semi formal dress up is fun too erronce in a while...actually depending on the occassion. Three day work week for me! yess! I took tomorrow off, to help get stuff ready for the anniversary. Speaking on jobs, a shout out to mike TM for landing a full time position @ Agile 360.

Went to mass @ 1215pm yesterday and a couple of things. Actually a little more than juss a couple of items, more less like three or four. First thing, I saw one of my students thurr yesterday and I guess I was a little dissapointed by his reverence in the mass. Well maybe I shouldnt of expected too much. Second point, well this is one of the reasons I dont like going to 1215pm mass sometimes. Well we all know how crowded that mass is as is. Then they have ushers who when they see the pew is already crowded they go in tyr to fit someone else in thurr. Agh! Third point, fr. paul had a really great homily bout prayer, well the theme of the readings being preseverance in prayer.

A point that he made that was d0pe, was he said, 'prayer is not solving problems' However, Jesus gives us the strength to encounter our problems through prayer. Which I thought was d0pe, cuz many people tend to think prayer is a solution to answering all your problems. Its really not, we dont pray juss so God will answer & solver all our problems. Fr. went on to mention that we should never expect gratification in prayer. We need to trust in God and be open to his plans for us. And when whurr dry, spiritually and we cant/dont want to pray we offer it up. He said, our relationship w/God is not a democracy, its either we do his will or we stop being christian. Wow...thas pretty strong! DO we want to be obidient and do God's will or do our own? Prayer isnt about us, its bout hearing GOd's word.

Then the grand finale...we must discipline our hearts and mind to an image of God. We need to act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with God. If we really say we are children of God, how much more are we going to be obidient to him. We must have an openess to what God wants of us. We must go through a good friday in our lives, which is a challenge for us. If we want to do God's will, then we know what we must do. Praise God for great homilies!

Went to the mac grill for our 2nd to last core meeting, to plan out the stuff for the anniversary. It was coo cuz errone was thurr, so fun times! Dining w/red wine and pasta yum! Then taking pics w/the waitresses! ha I was challened to ask one of the hostesses/servers to take a pic w/me. Agh as relunctant as I was, I did it anyway. Then freakin jay said outloud to her, that I was hurr visiting from korea. Agh stupid! We ended up learning later on that it was leslie's friend's sister. Afterwurrds walked around the towne center got some sturrbucks and juice it up.

Came home changed and it was juss relaxing the cold aurr, warm clothes, and bed. Agh then alaine kept calling me agH! Ha after the last call, I juss turned off my phone! hahaha THen jay calls me and wants to go watch team america @ the block. So mike, jay, and I went to watch team america at the block. It was a pretty funny, actually I didnt expect the movie to be the way it was, but it was funny. OH yeah at the cerritos towne center, I saw jill from liwanag thurr. She was picking up her drinking from sturrbucks and walking outside. I didnt even recgonize her, until reirich pointed it out who she was.


Jay made a small CD full of usher/kanye west videos from the truf tour! yay!

"It's not even funny they can't BREATHE..."im done, im out God bless!

The Year of the Eucharist



"Just as if someone were to twist two pieces of wax together and melt them with a fire, so that the two are made one, so too through participation in the Body of Christ and in His precious blood, He is united to us and we to Him. In no other way can our corruptible nature be made alive except by being united bodily to the Body of Him who is, by His ever nature, like that is, the Only-Begotten..."

Today the HOly Father will mark this year the year of the Eucharist. How exciting, as we all know last year was the year of the rosary. Two great essential items to our catholic faith. The Eucharist wha more can you ask for? I remember when I learned bout the eucharist, and what it was, how much loove and reverence I had for it. Everyday millions of people recieve Jesus in the Eucharist, wow juss wow! I always, always emphasize the eucharist to my kids when I teach them. Words cant express how much love I have for the Eucharist. We should do wha we can to recieve Jesus in the Eucharist as much as possible.

Spent the morning trying to figure out whether I was going to get dressy or go semi-casual to my cousin's wedding today. I figured it wasnt gonna be in a church and the reception wasnt gonna be at a hotel, so thurr really wasnt any reason to get all dressy. So after consulting w/julie ha I decided to go in 'dirty jeans' and a nice long sleeve guess shirt, w/kenneth coles. I wonder wha type of style alaine would think I was. Ha since she's some kinda fashion person or something! ha

The wedding was alright, I was thinking since it was gonna be in his fiance's backyurrd, I was thinking something huge! When we got thurr it was juss a regular ol house, nothing really fancy. Agh! then the wedding didnt even sturrt on time, it was suppose to sturrt at 3pm, we didnt sturrt till 330pm! Oh why?! If I ever get murried, Im soo gonna make sure we stick to the schedule! ha Well majority of you all know how anal I am w/time and errthang. Then it was weird cuz when the bride came out, they had some type of I dont know how to describe the music. I juss know it wasnt your traditional 'wedding murrch' instead it was rather hmm fast. Like errone was kinda juss boppin thurr heads to it, which was funny.

The ceremony itself was probably no longer then 20 min! ha They hired some kinda uhh person to marry them. Then it was very crowded inside and outside w/all the small round tables they had. It was kinda like a furr hazard in a sense, if thurr was a furr, I dont think we'd all make it out in time. Hmm wha else, they had the first dance, which then lead to the $$ dance. I dindt like the way they did the $$ dance either. They put a basket on the table and if you wanted to dance w/them you juss dropped your $$ into it. Not the regular pin/tape the $$ on to the bride or groom. I think the only thing coo bout it was the open burr! haha yess!

Later on, thur was some dancing but it was mostly like oldies and 80's. I remember burr and boss lady's reception, oh man that was fun! The dancing, the music, the people, and juss wow good times! haha I dont know I guess i was expecting a lot more than wha I saw. After seeng this wedding, it made me think of how I'd plan my wedding(if Im called that is). All in all it was alright, oh the food was ehh. They had one side of the house traditional filipino food. The rice, panist, lechon, lumpia, turon, blah blah. On the other side was mexican food, taquitos, rice, enchiladas. The taquitos were hella hurrd though!! It was practically hurting my teef trying to bite into it!

Despite the fact it wasnt your 'traditional catholic wedding' which I'm use to, I do pray that thurr marriage only brings out fruits of the spirit. That they really stay true to thurr wedding vows and continue to love each other more and more each day. Actually, it's gonna be weird seeing him murried now. Though I do wonder if she wouldnt of never gotten pregnant wouldve they gotten murried? They've only really been going out for wha maybe a couple yurrs? They've known each other for 3 yurrs, I dont know how long though theyve been going out. Oh well...all the tables at pink, purple, white, roses, and daisies. I made myself a small boquet to put on my altar in my room and some to take to Mama Mary tomorrow on my way to mass. yay!!


Agh I still need to go to Silverado days before the weekend is over!

"Cuz you are mine at last..."im done, im out God bless!

Happy Anniversary & The Year of the Eucharist

Smile & Praise God

"Love for our neighbor consists of three things: to desire the greater good of everyone; to do what good we can when we can; to bear, excuse, and hide other's faults..."

After a boring nite at home I did some radom thinking. Well I was going across people's myspaces and some people's online journals. You can really kinda get to know a person in a sense by juss wha they write. Im sure so many people can get a feel of wha type of person I am by reading my blogs errday. Some of the things I came across made me kinda bleh cuz it sounded soo freakin depressing. It sucks when you see how people can appreciate to the full extent the gift(s) God has so graciously given to us. I mean juss the errday gift of life that He gives is one huge gift in itself. So I began to ponder, should if I ever really sturrt to feel depressed or emo thurr really isnt no reason to be. God didnt create us to be sad over stupid things, but he called us to be joyful and happy...yay!!! So hurr are many different things that really juss make me smile and say, 'praise God!'





















































Juss a few of my favorite things that remind me to always smile and shurr the gift of love w/all those I come across. Ü I think I had this convo w/banne during one of our many excursions last yurr. In fact I asked reirich the same question last nite on the way home. Do certain songs remind you of certain occassions in your life? He said, no, not unless he happened to dedicate a certain song to someone. For me certain songs remind of certain things that took place in my life at that time. Anyway, sometimes I can see a picture and juss visually remember errthang that was going on at that time...ahh yes I love remembering the past!


I love reflecting back on pics!

"I'lll be the greatest fan of your life..."im done, im out God bless!

Suprises!

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game..."

It's been a long day, and I can't believe I even went out tonite too! Ha oh well as turrd as I was I figured mine as well. You know I forgot to mention, Fr. Paul invited me to the rectory's chapel for a special mass for his brother's death anniversary. It was coo cuz it was small and errthang, I had to do all the readings and the prayers of the faithful also. So as you read this quote, it can be interpreted in a variety of different ways. I see as perseverance, you cant let the furr of failure keep you from doing wha you want to accomplish in life. Whurr all gonna strike out at something, but hey its coo cuz we can get back up to the plate and take another swing at it. Don't let furr stand in your way of wha you want to do...be pearless! hahahahahaha!

During class I was sitting thurr listening to lecture in regards to the revolutionary wurr. Its juss crazy all the events that lead up to it. I think if I were one of the colonists too, I'd be juss fed up w/whas going on. All the stupid taxes on errthang, I'd go crazzzzzyy! I remember doing this play in 5th grade on the revo. wurr. I was a little bitter cuz we had to try out for the purrts. The purrt I wanted was the purrt of the teacher...agh I didnt get that purrt! This other girl in my class ended up getting it. I dont even remember wha purt I got, though we had to do this stupid dance, to 'King George.' We had to whurr these white pants...ahh the memories!

Then the whole time during my pysch class I was sitting thurr reading confirmation journal entries and making comments. After reading like 20 papers you tend to get a little tired and your eyes start to hurt. Dont get me wrong though, I really do enjoy reading thurr insights and its cool how they see things sometimes totally different then wha you wouldve seen. This is also in a weird way to give them individual attention and show them that I do curr for them and want the best for them. Ha geez I sound like a purrent now!

Work was busy trying to get things ready for the purrk dedication on sat. I guess I am kinda glad I dont have to work it, though the hours would be nice. So I was putting candy in the pinata and filling that sucker up. Ha it got too heavy I think that one of the arms came off! I quickly tapped it up, so they wouldnt see it. IT was also boss' day so I got each of my boss' a bag of pandesal cuz they really love the bread. On top of all that as a dept. we got my boss a mouse pad w/this dogs on it. Then we got our director, a small USC football helmet cuz he loves USC football. LAter on while I was cooking, I cut my finger really bad so I was bleeding all ova the food! hahaha

Class was cool tonite, three of my boys from tues. came to help me out. I really dont have an aide on thurs. nites. THough the class is pretty small, so thurr really isnt a whole need for it. Those kids on thurs. nites are really good kids, they participate and I think they understand the material. Which is good, its not juss me talking all the time. At the end of class I had a parent come to me, her son has been absent in the class for the past 3 weeks due to band @ skool. She began to tell me that her son wont be able to make it this yurr due to skool. He gets out @ 7pm from band, then has a lot of hw, and they live in la mirada. I said thas fine, then he can make it next yurr then, if thas the case. Then she goes on to ask if its possible that she collects work for him to tkae home. I told her no I'm not gonna let him take SRE @ home. It juss doesnt work out that way, I rather have him come late then not come at all. Maan parents these days...

It was so cute, thurr was this little boy in the office. Apparently, his parents hadn't picked him up yet from class. So he's sitting thurr in the office and he looked so helpless sitting thurr. Ha then aela sturrted to talk to him in tagalog. They were talking back and forth, after she went outside to wait for his parents to come. ANyway, it was so funny cuz I felt like I was watching a filipino movie or something! ha maybe its juss one of those things whurr you gotta be thurr to see it yourself.

Went up to the hills of anaheim to reirich's after SRE. Thurr fam bam tribe is preparing for his sister's wedding this sat. It was nice to see his purrents again, theyre cool people! Anyway, we went to 330 in brea and well thurr whurr positive and negative experiences. Agh after this one negative experience I had last nite, I really not sure if I wanna go back thurr. Besides that thurrs juss way too many guys over thurr. Although when I walked in, wha did my wandering eyes see...well I saw the girls from SOL and YFC thurr! haha The theme of the evening must've been 'catholic community nite @ 330!' hahahahaha Fun times though despite that one awkward, REALLY weird, negative experience.

Holla Back!

I Miss It...



"I have been made for heaven, and heaven made for me..."

Agh my heaven was hawaii...well at least for a week that is! I've been hurring a lot of hawaiin music lately and its juss really made me miss it!! I remember sitting next to jay on the way back to cali in the plane and showing him, 'oh joy its the staples center.' Agh then all of us were like agh back to the smog, back to the dirty beaches. :Sigh: I was listening on the way back from taps in irene's scion, the izzy's famous, 'somewhurr over the rainbow' song. Aww as I sat in the backseat of the curr, I felt so relaxed. It reminded me of walking down front street late at nite on my own. The Aloha mixed plate grill oooooooooooooh how I miss that!!! :sigh: I think I'm ready for another vacation!

So class was so boring today, but the time goes by so fast! Alaine called me and my phone goes off cuz I forgot to turn it on silent. I made an appt. w/my counselor to talk bout transferring by next yurr. Agh so please pray that I'll be able to transfer by fall, agh I really need to get out of thurr. At any rate, I rented that movie, 'A Cinderella Story.' Its kinda funny cuz it seems so filipino like in a sense, w/the whole 'text messaging' aspect. The purrts the corny is juss how they have this online friendship. Ahh ha reminds me of back in the days when I first got the internet. Thurr some good points I could use in next week's class discussion bout relationships. I liked the movie, well certain purrts, for some reason it juss reminded me of something, though I remember what. Oh well...

Work was chill, I'm really trying to help develop these kids to learn the essentials of theater. Its coo cuz even though theyre so small thurr trying. I got this email from my coworker bout bush and oh man it was hella funny, I couldnt stop laughing. In fact I printed it out and put it on his desk, on top of all that, my boss told me to use it has our wall paper! hahaha Oh man he came in and oh boy...haha he didnt think it was too funny...Actually, he went into my bosses office and sturrted to debate w/him on stem cells. Ha too funny...I love my coworkers at times cuz we juss fool around and dont even do anything.

I was too tired after wurrk to go down to bolsa chicka, so I decided to visit SLY. I must admit it was different walking in, and not seeing mike thurr. Though I had a good time, its good to see cy and that she's doing well. She gave a really good talk on confession and the importance of the sacrament. In fact she's the new featured artist on the vmail. Yay! After we all went to taps and I ran into noel nini over thurr. Fun times in the lbc yay!!



I miss Hawaii!!

"Over the rainbow, way up high..."im done, im out God bless!

Nothing But Love

"All positive change in the world comes from our ideas of what we belive is possible..."

If you know me well enough you know how I love quotes. It should be pretty evident from reading my blogs errday. I love the book the tribe called king bought me for my birfday, the quotes from the saints. Its juss so handy cuz they have quotes for errthang. A lot of the quotes to really convict me and help me in my daily prayer life. Anyhow, so in class today, I picked up this quote from the back of some guy's shirt. Ha he was sitting in front of me and I turned my head as I read the quote and thought, 'hey I like that!' So I decided to copy it down and make the quote of the day. If you ever are wondering whurr I get my quotes from 97% of them come from the Saints. All the other ones from things I hurr from maybe homilies or even juss things I see in passing. Ha they could even be from people's shirts like todays!

I found this on john pv's blog and I thought it was well worf posting. Yeah I know in a sense it's kinda neeYyoooWww but its cute. I think you'd appreciate this one banne...
Tech Support: Yes, ... how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided toinstall Love. Can you guide me though the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'mready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Haveyou located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they arerunning?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt*, Low Self-Esteem,Grudge and Resentment* running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase PastHurt from your current operating system. It may remain inyour permanent memory but it will no longer disruptother programs. Love will eventually override LowSelf-Esteem with a module of its own called HighSelf-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love frombeing properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tellme how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness*. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself.Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only thebase program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says,"Error - Program not run on external components." What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself* before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance*; then click on thefollowing files: Forgive-Self*; Realize Your Worth*; and Acknowledge your Limitations*.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory.The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need todelete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories andempty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely goneand never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with newfiles. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace andContentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hangup. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.

I was late to class this morning, I took too much time in the shower this morning. For me I love juss sturrting my mornings w/a nice hot shower. I feel so clean afterwhurrds when I come out. At the same times its so relaxing, especially now in the cooler days of the yurr. You juss stand thurr and let the water hit your back. It makes you want to juss go back to sleep and not wake up! Ahh I love it!! THen ending the nite w/a shower too, two things I have to do errday. Shower in the morning and shower in the evening. Sturrt you day clean and end it feeling good.

AGh lecture was boring today during class, so I brought my confirmation papers to grade. Ha I was reading thur journals from last week. Figured I mine as well do something productive in class. THough after reading like 20, your eyes sturrt to feel a little sleepy. I had almost 30 papers to read and grade. Oh man I can only imagine if they whurr essays! To read and correct 30 different papers or even more, by the last one I'd be knocked out sleeping. The reflections were okay, I was more less looking for something more but they didnt give it to me. Praise God though for thurr effort.

After that I had a psych test on personality traits and all that stuff. It was really that difficut, at least I didnt think it was. I finsihed the thing in 30min. then went home to check mail and blog. Burr and I whurr talking bout college students whos main priority in life is juss to go to skool. Oh man thas gotta be so nice. Juss do whatver you want after class is over, not have to worry bout going to work. I'd probably come home and take a nice nap errday and also be a lot more committed to my studies. Your friends ask you, 'hye you want go thurr after skool?' Then you say, 'yeah im down, I have nothign else to do anyway.'

I guess the toss side of that as jeanne and I were talking bout on sun. is not having work experience later on. Businesses and companies may be hesitant to hire you, if they see you've never worked before in your entire life. Also, having job helps you develop communication skills, indepence etc. THen you can buy whatever you want, whenever. I remember being young and wanting certain things but I couldnt have it. Ever since I've been working I think I've become more materialistic than before. At any rate, I guess turrs pros and cons to it.

Work was frustrating w/those kids. I was getting real sleepy watching the movie this afternoon. At one point I kinda closed my eyes for a bit and when I opened them I ssaw kids right in front of me. Its kinda like whoa! Thurrs this kid whos been real bold as of lately in trying to defy me and talking back. Most of the time he's real quiet and to himself. I guess its true it is the quiet ones you have to look out for! Ha we have this play rat at work and I've been using it to skurr my coworker. Sometimes she falls for it and I get a real kick out of watching her! haha

SRE was another loud night, ha poor abe got lost tyirng to get to my house. I really wanted them to learn the Mother Mary song, so I asked abe to get the CD at my house. Since I'm already on the topic of him, I really praise God for this kid. I mean wow he's very insightful and juss so willing to help. Praise God! Towards the last 10 min. of class we as a class were talking bout relationships and we briefly talked bout the 'triangle relatiionship.' Then I told them how searching to buy a curr is like finding a mate. They all sturrted to laugh thinking I was referring to trying to find the cheapest one. Though I said we'll talk bout it more next week.

After class abe told me if I wanted him to, he could give and shurr a small testimony bout his relationship w/his gf. He shurred to me how thurr relationship is Christ-centered and wha not. Although she's not catholic they help each other and in a sense keep other in check. I thought that was cool juss how he's so young yet bases his relationship w/God in the middle. I told him I'd give him a call this week and we'll talk bout it more. I realized I need to to sturrt to put together some type of lesson plan for the evening. Its kinda hurrd to juss well not have one ha.
We talked bout Mama Mary ni fact from now on whurr gonna sing the 'Mama Mary' song errtues. after our prayer as we ask for her intercession. I want these kids to become real marian! yay!!

You know as much as I get frustrated w/my kids cuz they dont do thurr hw or thurr loud and obnxious or they juss dont seem like they curr, I still have love for them. Really, I do, I guess cuz as a whole we've all come so furr. THough I still cant wait to filter out some of these others ones and bring in some others that are stuck in another class. Agh but thurr not gonna do any changes until next month or something. Agh! The teacher next to me, wow is hurrdcurr w/his whole projketor be brings each week to class. Wow! Though I guess each of us is blessed in different ways. They added another kid in my class, now making the grand total...33! Actually more less 31 cuz 1 one of my kids supposedly told me hes going to polycarp now =( and the other one juss has been absent the past 2 days. ALthough I still have a huge class.

Im blessed cuz fr. paul invited me to mass inside the rectory tomorrow morning. Its his brother's death anniversary and since he isnt on any of the masses he was gonna say mass. So he invited me up to the rectory for mass. Wow thas gonna be an honor! I wonder how thas gonna be like though. It was fun last fri. after mass, he invited me up for lunch. Well all that was left from thurr lunch was soup and salad. Ha, but it was fun though and after we sat in the living room and watched tv. Fr. Brennan came in and said to me, 'why hello msgr. so nice for you to be us!' haha Im really gonna miss these guys when thurr gone.



SH Anniversay coming up yay!!


"Have you ever tried the words and they dont come out right..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Let the Good Times Roll...

"He who has undertaken the governing of souls must prepare himself to render to God an account of them..."

In other words, when God puts souls in our hands, we are accountable for them. Meaning God holds us accountable for them to lead them and direct them on the right path. Sounds kinda skurry, yet at the same time its keeps us in check making sure we do the right thing. As I was reading that, I can imagine all the souls God's going to hold me accountable for. From all the yurrs teaching SRE, to LSS', and errthang else. PRaise God though for accountablity, how else would we keep ourselves in check?

The other nite, I had gone to Mike G's housewarming purrty. He bought a nursing home and planned on opening his own business. As I was roaming around the house taking my own personal tour, I got a little freaked out for a min. Well in each bedroom thurr two single beds, and its like umm a 3-bedroom house I think. ANyway, looking at each room reminded me back waay long ago during the hale bop comet(i think thas wha it was called.) That one cult that was back in 97, and they all committ suicide, thinking this comet was a sign that it was time to go and they were gonna be lead to heaven. So wha they ended up doing was drinking this poision and then putting these purple triangle linen sheets over themselves. So all you saw was the purple triangle sheet over thur bodies w/the black nike shoes. If you see the house then you'll know wha I mean.

So then I was asked to bless the food and all the titas thurr ended up calling me fr. jason...oh why?! Thurr was a massive amount of good food thurr...these lumpia wraps that I've never seen or tried. At any rate, I had a really nice convo w/jeanne in regards to skool and stuff. For me jeanne is one of those people that even though we may not talk as much, whenever we catch up its not all awkward, like uh uh wha do we say? I always enjoy people like that, then you know the friendship is real. I really appreciated the advice she gave me and errthang like that.

Then saturday was the clp, randy and kuya ariel gave two of the most probably difficult talks in the whole clp. God's love and who is Jesus Christ superstar? err I mean who is Jesus Christ? ha Even though randy's talk ran 15 min. longer then it was suppose to, I was really convicted during one purrt of his talk. He talked bout surrenderance through I think this is wha he used, 'altar call.' Something to think bout from now on before you recieve communion. As you stand in line and wait your turn to recieve Jesus, w/each step you take, you surrender something to Him on that altar. 'Lord, I give you my anger, Lord I give you my impatience, Lord I give you my sufferings, etc. etc.' So by the time you reach your turn for communion, you and Jesus make a switch. You surrender errthang to and he gives you his life, his body and blood, soul and divinity. Wow...something im going to tell my class bout tonite.

Last nite we had our first new re-structured SFC household. Actually, I'm going ot like it cuz I know all the guys in it, pretty well. Its kinda funny cuz its half YFC and half SH. RoOoOoLllll calll...reirich, fred, mike g., celestino, jay, mark anthony, myself, this other guy john and the head jordan. It was real fun times last nite during our fellowship dinner. We celebrated mike's birfday over thurr and they brought him this regular sized cake from red ribbon! haah thas crazy I didnt know fridays had those type of cakes! haha Good times though last nite...at least for the most purrt. I was getting a little irritated towards the end of the nite w/all stupid jokes, it got a little too curried away. At any rate, I'm excited cuz thurr all gonna come to the SH anniverasary next week yay!!! Praise God!!!

Last nite, aela, mo, and I talked, prayed, and chose the new core team for next yurr. I'm excited cuz these new people have so much to offer to the community. Juss thurr willingness and openess to serve is exciting! I'm also excited for the great projkets the Lord has in store fo us this next upcoming yurr. So in the mean time, please continue to pray for the new core and for the new leadership taking place. Yay!!!


Remember when pages were the happenin thing? haha

"Lookin at my pager its about that time..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Wow I know its been like fifty' leven days since I've really blogged. So much stuff has been going on. Our house is a total mess right now, were in the process of remodeling my parent's bafroom. So we have clothes all over the living room. I blogged on thursday, but unfortunaltey I accidently deleted it. I ended up posting in 1000 times that I ended up deleting the wrong one, so I was like agH!!! The entry from yesterday I juss had to post before 12am, otherwise I wouldve owed alaine molcs and thas something I soooo didnt want to do. See, we had this bet that I wouldnt remember to post her homecoming sturry before today. I almost didnt too, good thing she reminded me on the way home from mike's.

Pretty much all afternoon yesterday I was at alaine's. She was helping me w/my maf hw cuz I had this test today. AGh I hate maf, youre not gonna use all that extra stuff in your currurr. Like polynomials and etc. etc. Well at least in my currurr you wont have to use all that stuff. Anyway, so alaine told me yesterday that I dont have my own idenity. Pretty hurrsh huh! ha She told me when I whurr timberland, ecko, triple 5 soul etc. she thinks I'm trying ot be black. Yet when I whurr hollister, a&f, and a&e, im trying to be white. THough when I whurr quicksilver or billabong and stuff like she says I'm trying ot be surfer white. If I whurr though element or something than im trying to be skater. If I whurr guess? polosport, tommy, or kenneth cole she says im filipino. So apparently, thurr isnt no middle ground for wha I whurr. Apparently whatever I whurr I'm trying to be some type of ethcinity! haha She;s like style judger! hahaha

So on thursday Mike and I went to lunch at the new bpc souf street! Ha I dont know if you noticed but the little shopping center across from the bPd kinda looks like souf street center in cerritos. ANyway, so we went to check out the new 'philly's best.' Its one of the best philly cheese steak places. Thas the place burr and I went for valentine's day. That place was our valetines day, until he stood me up last yurr! haha oh whY?! Its pretty good, but its expensive yet its good.

SRE was good on thurs. my class is still small, a lot of the class was missing again. Since october is the month of the rosary, I felt it was best to intro. to the concept and talk them bout Mary. I think they were able to understand it. I'd like to make an altar in bof of my classrooms on tues. and thurs. So the hw for the week was to make a point to pray the rosary between now and next thurs. I like the class on thurs. cuz they're real responsive, I threw out candy to those who were answering questions and participating. Wha I hate is when kids put thurr heads down in class cuz that means thurr soo not paying attention. So at the end of class, i taught them the 'Mother Mary' song. They got it too! praise God!

You knwo whas funny? Well I teach classes at my work, I do a theatre and cooking class. Well when I'm teaching them certain things, at times I almost say to them 'amen?!' Ha! I guess im so use to saying the word/phrase, 'amen?!' that I have to remind myself whurr im at. Instead I end up saying, 'right?!' I know that was pretty random ha but I juss thought that was funny. Amen?! haha I made these lettuce wraps too on thurs. they were pretty good and pretty simple to make also. They were spicy cuz I used that one sauce i think that using @ thai places.

Over the weekend my sister messed up the whole comp. trying to install this norton utilities. Well after installing it, our internet wasnt working. Agh! thas so frustrating to come and to find out your internet isnt working. OH why?! So I spent all nite trying ot figure out how to get it working and blah blah. Then on saturday nite, it was messed up again, I ended up having to do a whole complete recovery system!! oh whY?!! I really wish thurr was some type of computer that was like immaculate haha forreal thatd be tiight.

Friday, during Fr. Paul's homily I was picturing something he said he heard from another priest. He was talking bout how during a wedding, the groom sits in front of the altar waiting for the bride. As he stands and waits for his bride walking down the alter, the priest saw the love in his eyes he had for her. This is the same exact way Jesus looks at his church. We as christians are his church and thas the same way he looks at us. I was like wow, the way I was seeing it in my head was juss so amazing.

Then yesterday during fr. rays homily it was really good too. Well yesterday was gospel sturry for the leper. How he had ran into 10 lepers, healed them and only one came back. He gave the comparison of how were like that at times in our lives. God blesses us, heals w/so much yet we become one of the 9 lepers and forget to thakn him. He talked bout how throughout our entire life were gonna need the healing power of GOd. Yet its up to us too cooperate to recieve that healing power. We have to have an open hurrt and open mind to recieve w/our cooperation. Then he emphasized how during communion we receive that healing power and how juss sitting at the blessed sacarment we get those graces right thurr. When he was talking bout that, it brought me back to banne's growth talk. The whole comparison to being the flower. So if we cooperate and are open, we will transformed and healed. Our death is the final healing and reconcilation between God and us. Fidelity to God we must look for in the Eucharist and reconcliation. Praise GOd!

OKay I gotta get going to the household at fridays...oh why?! hurr I go eating again! I need to back to the gym again, so I dont become fatty!


Praise God for errthang!!

"I feel like an angel with my broken wings/Lord let me in..."im done, im out God bless!

Sunday, October 10

How Swe3t!!!

"Humility leads to faith and faith leads to gratitude..."

So let me tell you I was at Alaine's house all afternoon, doing homework. Anyway, all of a sudden we hurr this loud banging on the door. I tripped out, well we bof did, me more than her probably cuz it caught us off gurrd. Ha the first thing that came to my mind, was 'oh man someone might kill us!' After telling her not go to go the door or the window, she goes and opens the door. She finds a pink long stem rose at her door step. INcluded w/the rose was a number ofr her to call. SO she calls the number and she hurrs this guy singing on the vmail. Wha was he singing? The song to Willy Wonka, which is the theme to thurr homecoming. Alaine walks outside and this guy comes up holding 11 more roses in his hand. Then he asks her, 'alaine will you go to homecoming with me?'

A lot more to come stay tuned...in the meantime, pray for me I have pretty big math test tomorrow!


I juss had to beat alaine in this bet we had...

"God will you keep her from the thunderstorm..."im done, im out GOd bless!
