What Does The Holy Spirit Do?

"To each who receives the Spirit, it is as if he alone received Him; yet the grace the Spirit pours out is quite sufficient for the whole mankind..."

Praise God for quite an eventful weekend, I finally was able to fit in a nap today. This next month is going to be busy once again. I cant praise God enough though for his spirit moving and working through so many people over the weekend. Its so amazing to see how the spirit moves through these people. You watch them and youre juss in a sense blown away! God really does make a way when thurr seems to be no way. Ive seen and encountered it soo many times, then after it all works out He tells me, 'why did you doubt?' Anyway, its been a while since I've updated so let me juss recap this past weekend wha went on.

Thursday~
I felt so lost in stupid music class as we were going over the stuff. Agh he goes so fast that I dont get enough time to even catch up on it all. They finally installed the oven at work in the kitchen! Agh finally after waiting for over a yurr for them to do that! So the kids and I made the infamous chicken enchiladas that errone loves. Then I spent the rest of the time moving stuff into my ol classroom. My old classroom is gonna be turned into offices again. SRE was fun, after weeks of trying to get them to remember the steps to reconlication, I finally found a way how. I realized the best way is to do it 'hands on' style. So we acted it out, I was the priest and then we went through wha to do step by step and they remembered it! woO! I felt so happy haha kinda like that feeling when you watch someone get the hang of something youve been trying to teach them. Jesse comes in asking me to do the WHa does the HOly Spirit do? talk for Holy Spirit sat.

Friday~
Woke up early and I went w/my aunt to burrbank to pick up these family 4 pack to universal studios. My coworker won them off of kzla and I guess didnt want them anymore. So she gave them to me, the only catch was I had to go get them. Agh the traffic was so bad going up thurr and coming back. Then finding the place was a little bit difficult. Though we made it and I was able to pick them up. Its coo cuz that building whurr I got them is the same studio for power 106 and kzla. So now I have a family 4 pack to Universal Studios! WooO!!!

Had lunch at the mac grill and I think I saw that girl who I took a pic w/during the last core meeting. Anyway, great lunch as always ha I saw a priest thurr having lunch too I wonder if he was from holy fam bam. Stopped by my work to pick some stuff up then stopped by the other center to get some borders. Im so glad I dont gotta work fridays like how they do at the other cetner. Came home all the driving made me sleepy so I took a nap.

Woke up and went to mike's for music min. practice...or wha was suppose to be music min. practice haha Ended up going to burr's house and he helped me w/my music hw. Now I understand it makes things so much easier! wOoo face faceg woOo! haha half note qtr. note whole note, agh too many things to remember! Then went and spent in hour at savio trying to put together my youf alpha talk. I was so confused on wha to talk bout and then giving a testimony...well its not like I had the most exciting one either. ha So it became difficult to put together.

Saturday~
Wha can I say? The Holy Spirit does wonders! I had so much fun and it brought back soo many memories of the ol skool Holy Spirit sat. I wish I had pics from my second one whurr I saw the suicide skit for the first time. Music min. was bomb and the kids really enjoyed them being thurr. As always by the end of the retreat they were 'deeping' away. Its kinda interesting to see how this yurr thurrs a lot more adults helping w/it then before. We saw 'evil jesty' also who was one of the group leaders! hahaha I wonder how those people got involved, I've never seen them before. MAybe they went through themselves in the past.

Anyway, Peter and Banne's talk was great as always is erryurr. I sturrted to get real nervous as the time for my talk came closer, but praise God for community who prayed over me and with me! I love SH! I was kinda worried cuz I didnt have really an attention getter to get thurr attention, but I was able to capture them using some last min. examples I added in. Lunch was fun sitting at the table messing around, laughing, joking bout ol skool times how I use to be so quiet when I first came into SH. Yeah hard to imagine I know. Then sitting thurr trying to figure out who was the 'hot girl' and the girl who's faith I've seen juss grow.

It was cool cuz I was talking to leslie's sister afterwurrds online. She told me how she a lot out of the retreat and she loved the skit. Then said she wants to get involved w/youf alpha next yurr cuz she doesnt want to stray away from God. As I was praying over her during the laying of hands, I was really asking God to look over this soul. Its juss crazy how I've seen her brother, her sister, and now her go through it. My goodness, I have been doing this for too long! haha Im praying bout whether to retire from SRE next yurr. We'll see wha God wants...

Had a long talk w/fr. paul afterwurrds, pretty interesting the things going on. Ended up talking to jaymee on the phone for a while, so I didnt really get a chance to take a nap thurr. I was literally so exhausted from the whole day. Went out to the spectrum w/chentel later on and ate at the cheesecake factory. Had the calmari that I was kinda craving for, the service was slow and these girls sitting behind us were so loud! Going home was fun the whole singing ol skool songs in the curr...make a straight! hahaha fun times! Then having this long talk w/christy afterwurrds, aww remember christy bil is hurr for yoU! hahahaha!

Sunday~
Went to mass @ 915am w/the fam bam. I havent gone to that mass in a while. Ive been so use to the 1215pm choir that I dont really like the childrens one. Anyway, fr. grace had a great homily on the beatitudes and reflecting upon them. Im so dumb last month I clicked on one of those stupid promos on how to get a free razr. So I figured I'd do couple of those promos then cancel it. Well I forgot to cancel the blockbuster one and Ive been getting churrged for it! I got churrged last month and this month! Agh! I finally cancelled it but it doesnt expire till the end of the month. I figured I mine as well take advantage of it since I have it. Its convenient cuz I juss go on the website select wha dvds I want and they send it to me. I rented this one movie called 'Gas' ha bout these two brother who inherit thurr dad's gas/auto station. Ha it was pretty cool.

It was my aunts birfday, so went w/the fam bam down to lucielles at the long beach towne center. Thats only the 2nd time Ive gone to that one, the first one was during jeanne's birday 3 yurrs ago. The day after youf rally, when I didnt know anyone and I was quiet still haha. We had this long table reserved for us and that wasnt even the whole fam bam ha it was crazy how many whurr thurr. We roll deep! haha Afterwurrds went over to sPv for the retreat team plannign meeting. Praise God for a productive meeting. Im excited for this retreat! Agh and I got a cool prayer buddy also! Yess now I can give him all my crosses! haha jk

As I was reflecting last nite, I saw wha the Holy Spirit does and it does juss this...it creates saints.

Praise God for a d0pe weekend!!

"are you still down with me..."im done, im out God bless!

Hope Floats

"The mind covers more ground than the heart, but goes less far..."

So as many of you may or may not now, one of my fav things to watch is days of our lives. Ha yeah, I know weird, but as I always tells when she calls me for such stupid random things, whooooooooooooooooo currrrrrs! There is a point to this story and I will get to it. One of my fav. characters on the show is Hope. Why Hope? This chick has gone through hell and back, from being hypnotized to taken from her family, you name it she's gone through it. THough one of the characteristics I love bout her, is she courage and perseverance. For many people, when something suddenly goes wrong, they tend to act on pure emotion. They become extremely emotional, irrational, and errthang else. Which is obviously normal being the situation that occured.

With Hope though she's different then many of the other characters on the show. She thinks w/her head a lot of times and not w/her heart. Thurr has been sooo many different things thas has happened to her and her family, yet she always seems to remain calm and thinks things through. Its funny how people react to certain situations, I notice certain individuals like to lash out and get all emo right away. Others, like to ignore the problem and try to run from it. Probably cuz they dont like to deal w/confrontations. Im sure we've all done these at one point or another.

I guess the point Im trying to make is, when things go wrong or certain situations occurr(that may not be to your liking)who cuurs! Thurrs no use getting all bent out of shape over it. It happened, praise God, learn from it, and move on! Why sit thurr and dwell over the problem? Its not going to help or make the situation any better. Praise God for the lesson learned and move on from in it. Is no use to hold inside of you till the day you die. Offer it up!! Whenever a situation occurrs w/Hope, she acts on it, and thas wha I love bout her. She doesnt sit thurr and feel kawawa for herself. I was telling my kids last nite, dont waste your suffering, use it for the conversion of others.

15 Days of Prayer With St. Therese of Lisieux
Day Eight-Days Without Sunlight and Happiness
Focus Point: When everything is going our way, when our cares and your concerns seem light, it is easy to believe and continue the spiritual journey will not be pleasant and even may be challenging. We have to learn to take the good moments and the difficult moments together.

Therese declares that the 'smallest bit of suffering is more valuable than all the treasures of the world.' How, do we wonder, can it be a blessinng to start a day without even enough courage or strength to serve the Lord? The blessing is not n the hardship itself, but the lesson the Lord gives us to help us through it. It is a lesson given in the darkness of the blackest nite, in the day without sunshine. Therese gives this one bit of advice: 'There is only one thing to do during the darkest night, which comes but once in a lifetime. It is to love, to love Jesus with all the strength of our heart.' Loving, in truth, will bring us out of ourselves by opening us up to others; and by welcoming them we welcome ourselves back from the dark abyss.

So in awe of errthang thas happened today, the ups and the downs...I was reminded by this...

GOD SAID…

If you never felt pain,

Then how would you know that I’m a Healer?


If you never went through difficulties,

Then how would you know that I’m a Deliverer?


If you never had a trial,

Then how could you call yourself an overcomer?


If you never felt sadness,

Then how would you know that I’m a Comforter?


If you never made a mistake,

Then how would you know that I’m forgiving?


If you knew all,

Then how would you know that I will answer your questions?


If you were never in trouble,

Then how would you know that I will come to you rescue?


If you were never broken,

Then how would know that I can make you whole?


If you never had a problem,

Then how would you know that I can solve them?


If I gave you all the things,

Then how would you appreciate them?


If I never corrected you,

Then how would you know that I love you?


If you had all the power,

Then how would you learn to depend on me?


If your life was perfect,

Then what would you need Me for?

Our God truly is an awesome God.

Praise God for the wisdom of the Saints!

"This is my song of praise to you, for who you are and all that you do..."im done, im out God bless!

Agh, I Got Tricked!

"I greatly desire to become a saint that I may be able to make saints and thus procure the glory of God..."

It was so funny at skool the other day, I was walkng down the stairs and I overhurrd these two girls in front of me talking. The first girl was like, 'hey do you know if nelly and ciara are dating?' The other girl was like no why? THen the other girl was like well in his video w/like tim mc graw during his part he was holding a frame w/ciara's pic in it.' Hahaha I was laughing as I was listening to them talk. I was my gosh you guys sound like a bunch of hs teenage kids! ha as if they were like close friends to nelly and ciara or something. Anyway, that was juss funny...

Then at skool today I was getting lost in my music fundamentals class. The instructor was going so fast that I was getting lost in all the madness. I hope I dont end up really struggling in the class. It seems pretty easy once you get the hang of it and pick it up. He can talk pretty quickly though, too fast. I hate it hwne you get instructors like that, and even though they tell you 'let me know if im going too fast' you know they really mean, 'we really need to keep it at this pace.'
After class I ended up killing time in the lab hitting up errones blog and blowing up thurr tagboards and chatterboxes. That took up a good hour, which by that time was time to get back to class.

Afterwurrds, I went to redeem this coupon this guy was passinng out in the halls. It was a coupon for one free pizza and one free soda. I thought oh well heck if its free, then Ill juss pick one up. I get thurr and I get tricked!!! It was a promotion to college students to apply for this credit currd. In order to get the two free silces you gotta fill out the app. I figured mine as well since im hurr already, I juss wont activate theh currd, suckers! haha So I fill out the app. and I was on my way w/two free silces of pizza. It wasnt too bad, it tasted like the pizza place I had in new york.

Work was same, my coworker noticed that I dont say 'bye' on the phone, that I juss hang up afterwurrds. THen they were concerned w/my nail on my ring finger. Ha asking me if I'm doing drugs or something cuz my nail is so long. ha stupid! We watched my fav. disney movie 'mulan!' Dang if only she was a real person woOo! haha I cant wait to watch purrt II, I wonder wha thats gonna be like.

Class was pretty good, we talked bout a whole bunch of different things. Arch came at the end to let me borrow his geetar so we could sing songs yay! Im excited to read this hw I gave them for next week. Its called seven days of prayer and reflection. Each day they have a different scripture verse to read and reflect on. Im excited to see the response I get. I love sitting in front of the blessed sacrament and spending tmie reading their journals in front of him. I sitt thurr and I literally smile juss cuz He's so amazing, the things He does w/these kids.

I often wonder do the other sre teachers take this as serious as I do? Maybe? Maybe not? I hope they truly value and understand the importance of the souls and lives they can affect. I remember during my sre times my teachers sucked. THough these teachers can totally change thurr outlook on the church, if they juss make the effort. I think my kids understand and I hope they value the importance of how serious I take this. Its to help in thurr salvation, Im hurr to help raise future saints of the church. Not to turn them away...anyway, juss a random thought.

Okay its past my bedtime im too sleepy too blog anymore...ha


Congrats on your 10k burr! youre finally a megamall! haha

"Or where I'm from, in Virgina, we say ch-ill..."im done, im out God bless!

Thank You Tito Sam!!

"Salvation is shown to faith, it is prepared for hope, but it is given only to charity. Faith points out the way to the land of promise as a pillar of fire, hope feeds us with its manna of sweetness, but charity actually introduces us into the Promised Land..."

I juss filed my 2004 taxes last nite and wow thanks to Tito Sam, I'll be getting a good amount of $$ back in the mail. Hopefully, it'll come within the next month! I always learned the sooner you do it, the faster it comes to you. THough I had this crazy dream that I did my taxes wrong and I had to do it over again. Oh why?! wOoO! ipod hurr I come! haha I felt bad for my sister, cuz she was real frustarted last nite. Turns out that she's gonna have to pay a little over a $100 back in bof federal and state. Which is odd, cuz I made a lot more than she does combined w/her two jobs. SHe did it twice last nite on two different programs juss to see if thurr was some mistake. ha anyway, thanks again Tito Sam!

Skool was so boring yesterday, agh! I found purrking right away, which is a good thing. I always have to purrk in lot 7 cuz its closet to my building. Anyway, the instructor kept yapping bout so many irrelvant things I thought. THen sturrted to praise our next secretary of state, and dissed the former secretary of state from the clinton admin. boo! I got to class and saw that I bought the wrong text! Oh whY?! So now I gotta return it and get the rigth away. Fortunately enough, the guy next to me was kind enough to shurr his w/me.

Came home and stopped by the blessed sacrament for a while, sat thurr and it felt real nice. Then went back home to watch my soap and get ready for work. WOrk wasnt too bad though, I had this splitting headache for while that didnt go away. Praise God I wasnt around any kids! ha I sat in my new home getting it all ready to go, its sturrting to look really nice! Ive been able through the help of those glade air freshners to get that ugly smell out. Im sure those things worked extremely hurrd to kill that ordor. I may hvae to get a refill to keep the smell fresh and clean!

I was talking to an ol coworker on the phone last nite and she told me how I juss should juss go for whatever I see that looks good. I have enough experience that she thinks any city would want to hire me. Then maybe even negoiate w/them wha I want and who knows it may match wha they maybe looking for. She told me even if it makes less and they call you back offering you the job, juss the satisifaction knowing that you were able to do it. Kinda like giving yourself a pat on the back. I realized I keep sitting hurr waiting and looking and not making a move on anything. Soo hurr I go...

Thanks to St. Anthony I found my work keys, I got stressed cuz I couldnt seem to find them. I thought I had left them at the new center but it wasnt thurr. Yikes! Though I found them on the passenger side of the curr later on. PRaise GOd for St. Anthony who helps you find your lost mind! Cuz as I was telling abe, sometimes I feel like I cant find whurr my mind goes. Its kinda skurry, how I can forget so easily.

Went back to adoration last nite and finished reading my kid's journals. I love sitting thurr reading them and shurring them w/Jesus. It took me quite a while to do so being I have wha 30 kids in the class! But I was so happy to see how so many of them made goals from themselves from last week and accomplished them. Its always wonderful to watch these kids grow, thurrs one that I was extremely happy about that really made me smile reading it last nite. I tell you I feel like a purrent watching thurr babies grow up and soon thur have to leave the nest.

Agh tuesday is hurr yay!!

"We make a move and act a fool while we up in the club..."im done, im out God bless!

Skurred To Deaf!

"He who does a pure and whole work for God merits a whole kingdom..."

I forgot to blog bout this the other day, I dont think my puso has ever beaten so fast as it did the other day. Well I was in bed and then I hear this grumbling noise. My dog comes running into my room on top of my bed. I think she was skurred to, she jumps down and leaves. I didnt think much of it, so I tried to go to back to sleep. THen she comes back and I hurr the grumbling noise again. At first I thought it was an earfquake, so I layed thurr for a sec. listening to it, and saw nothing shaking. I get out of bed and walk to hte living room and I hurr the noise again.

At that moment I realized it was the door going into the backyurrd. Someone was pulling on it! They managed to open the screen door and now trying to open the door. I was so skurred cuz my first thought was, 'someones trying ot break into the house.' WHoever was outside was really pulling on the door trying to force it open. I was running back and forth, mind racing figuring out wha to do. Stupid me, I go and try to peek out the window to see wha/who it was. Then I realized I should duck down, before they saw me. I sturrted to run back and forth thinking I should call 911. I looked out the window again and I saw my dad trying to get inside the house. whew! sigh of relief knowinig it was only my dad cuz he dindt have the keys to get inside. I dont know if you can imagine how skurred I was at that moment oh man...

Fri. was pretty chill, slept in till 11am, normally I dont like to sleep in that late since skool is back in session well imma need the rest I can get! I pretty much kicked back in the house for the rest of the afternoon till bout 2pm. When to work and worked on my new site, tried to get a head sturrt on some of the things I need to do. Worked till bout almost 5, it was pretty creepy thurrr alone. I was getting kinda paranoid someone might walk in and do something to me or something.

Afterwurrds went to pick up alaine and we went ot the cerritos mall. Ive been really tempted to buy a printer for my room. They had some at sears for only $100, it includes scanner/copier also. I almost going to buy it, but changed my mind. For some reason alaine has a thing bout going into surrs. I dont know why, but she swear like it had some kinda disease in thurr or something. She had the hurrdest time juss walking into the sturr. Ha I said sorry high class, i guess surrs isnt good enough for your little 'juicy couture' self. ha Afterrwurds went to d & b at the block to chill w/the sfc peeps for a bit.

Sat. morning, went to mass then went w/errone else for the anniversary of roe vs. wade. I saw one of my kids mom thurr. SHe was like hello mr. fish! haha it was funny. So we went to orange and went to the abortion clinic. Well even though it was closed or they dont do abortions on sat. they still do consultations. We began our work as we prayed decade by decade, mystery by mystery of the rosary. As we sturrted w/a small group, slowly it became lurrger and lurrger. Some people honked at us, while others yelled out, 'let people choose!'

Afterwurd we all were hungry so burr, boss lady, aela, peebs, achie, myself, and aela went to eat at the block. We went to alcatraz, the server was really coo guy. Well he took curr of us real well cuz we were the only ones thurr for a while. After eating, walked around the block for a while to check out somme of the sturrs. Came home and sturrted to watch my dvds that I bought from new york. I realized that this new york shirt I bought well, its a freakin boys large!!! No wonder it felt really small and tight when I was whurring it. Agh!! Im so mad!

Ended up going out w/alaine again, this time to long beach towne center. We were trying to attempt to watch coach currter, but no luck! Agh! it was sold out till the next showing, which was too late. I guess go fig in long beach itd be sold out. Ran into jackie thurr, she was w/her bf, mom, and some friends. I never seen her mom before, so it was interesting. Since no coach currter, we went to eat at in n out. That ended the escapades for that nite...ha

Sunday, went to mass and some of my kids whurr thurr. I think I wanna do this whole, go to mass as a class once a month. One of my kids said to me, 'Ive never sitten in the front before' haha oh maan. Fr. Ray is my fav. homilist, I dont know if thas a word but hey i dont curr. Errtime he celebrates mass, his homilies are really thought out and prepared. I juss hope my kids whurr listening cuz he said a lot of good stuff that wow stuck out. Praise God!

Music min. afterwurds followed by long talk in the purking lot. Watched that movie assault on precint 13, the movie was pretty cool. The ending sucked though, I was expecting some type of closure and it didnt happen. It was pretty busy in that theatre being it was cerritos towne center. I was @ sPv yesterday afternoon and I saw thurr was this wedding taking place. It was funny cuz on one side you had all filipinos and the other side was all mexicans. I love weddings,
though I havent gone to one since maui.

YOu know ever since I was a little Ive always enjoyed reading. I love reading books, my sister though was the opposite she hated to read. My parents tried to find all kinds of books that would try and interest her. Anyway, so last fri. I bought this other book on St. Therese. Its called 'Shower of Heavenly Roses' and thurr true stories of answered prayers by St. Therese. Oh man the book is great! I tell you borders must be a fan of St. Therese cuz they always seem to receive some d0pe books on St. Therese. The stories in this book are juss amazing, I think sometime this week Ill shurr some w/you.

THe other nite I was talking to one of my kids online. Its funny cuz hes more talkative online than he is in person. He's very quiet in person unless you start up a convo w/him. THough hes a very smart kid, hes got like 4.o gpa and even over that. He's only been in my class since last yurr, so he's kinda one of the newbies. So, I was talking to him bout wha am I going to do in May when thurr all gone. He reminded me exactly, wha I needed to do...
JPFish187: maan wha am i going to do after may
JPFish187: when you guys are alll gone
PiNoyBallA63: PRAY
PiNoyBallA63: that we keep ur advice and keep clean

Praise GOd!


So begins another work/skool week...:sigh:

"I have called you and you are mine..."im done, im out God bless!

A Spirit of Hope

"We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, 'I belong to you. You can do whatever you like.' And this...is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord..."

Its been quite eventful couple of days. With skool sturrting all ova again, thurr might be more to write bout yay! Crazy thing happened on wed. nite, that made me say. 'whoa whas God trying to tell me hurr?' Ill go into detail bout that one later one. I've met Jesus in a quite a few people too, and its great seeing Him through them! Praise God! Okay, so my boss gave me the OC catholic newspaper to read, I dont know if any of yall read this. Anyway, soo thurrs an article thurr bout some skool, I dont remember the name. Well the parents were upset cuz thurr was this one kid who has been adopted by a gay couple. The parents wanted this kid kicked out of the skool cuz the fact the kids parents were gay living together. And as we all know this doesnt conicide with the teachings of the Church.

So petitions were signed and went around asking for this kid to be dropped. However, the pastor stood firm and told the parents the kid was not going to be kicked out. He told them that every child has a right to be enrolled in this skool and every parents who enrolls their child into the skool knows that their children will be taught the teaching of the roman catholic church. Also, that he cannot juss kick a kid out cuz of his background(obviously that would be discrimatory). If that was the case, he would have to kick out kids who are of divorced parents, or kids who have had parents use contraceptives.

As I reading the article, I sturrted to wonder wha this kid was thinking. Kawawa him, this innocent child who has done nothing wrong, yet so many people want him out. My personal opinion is, although homosexulaity is opposed in the church, Im glad the pastor brought up that point. If youre going to single out this one kid, then youre gonna have to single ouut all the purrents out thurr who arent following the teachngs of the church. Im sure thurrs a good handful out thurr who probably donnt even take thurr kids to mass on a weekly basis. Besides that the church could easily sued for discrimination. Doesnt catholic mean universal? Meaning, we accept ERRONE into the roman catholic church?

Skool is gonna be a difficult one this semester, I can totally see it already. It sucks cuz I dont have anyone that I really know in any of my classes. Oh why?! Thas the purrt I love bout the first day of skool, is seeing whos in yoru class. In my geo. class the teacher went around asking all of us our ethnic background and whurr weve traveled to. Apparerntly, it sounds like he's been to different place and see many faces. It was juss soo boring sitting thurr listening to people say im this and this and ive been to hurr and thurr.

I think I finally learned the secret to make some of my kids shut up. Well we were doing some activities on the stage and thurr was like bout 30 min. left. I was trying to figure out how the heck am I gonna get them to be quiet for 30 min. Then an idea popped into my head(light bulb!). How bout we play graveyurrd?! Ive never played it w/these kids before so I thought hmm lets test the waters out. Success! I had them sitting thurr quiet and not moving for over 30 min.! They sat thurr motionless and still cuz they wanted to wiin the prize. Haha yess! So now I know if the kids act up, play grave yurrd to shut them up. Way to go me! aha jk

Ive got like massive furniture to deliver and my new site. The thing is, I have to do thngs little by little cuz it doesnt all fit into the truck at one time. Its slowly coming together, I bought air freshners to try and get rid of that ugly smell. I put the level to full blast too hha It smelt like it was working when I left, so hopefully it works out. Im kinda excited to put up my bulletin boards and all that stuff. Its like sturrting all ova again, though I still want a new place to work at. Really...

Wed. nite I had gone to yfc, the first time I've gone in a while. I dont know why but these past couple months, Ive been mia in my community visits. So I think im going to sturrt that back up again. On my way over thurr I was thinking bout themes for some reason. Then I sturrted to think of hope. I dont know why hope came across my mind. Anyway, I walk into the room and then randell was like wassup blah blah. THen told me that they were talking bout, 'hope.' I kinda tripped out. Although I came towards the end of the discussion it was still kinda funny. So I was thinking to myself, I wonder wha God was trying ot tell me through this?

It felt great seeing all them folks again, who I havent seen in forever. Whas so cool is that no matter how long its been since theyve seen you, they make it seem like it was juss yesterday they saw you. Great hospitality right thurr, right thurr! I met Jesus through randell, who's juss one of those people who are genuinely cool. He goes Ive been praying for all you stuff! haha That guy is d0pe, really he is. I remember when I first saw him I thought he was different from wha he really is. I always thought in a sense he was like a filipino version of donald faison. He told me he was giving the talk on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and leading the campus base camp. He asked me to be his prayer warrior for the weekend. Praise God for grreat friends!!

Thursday was pretty cool I had a lot of fun at nite. Anyway, I was so sleepy in my music class. I went to sleep early too. This is gonna be interesting class to learn the basics of music and notes and how it all works. I kept looking at the clock to see how much time was left. After calvin, picked me up and we went to go eat at albertacos. His class was cancelled and his next class wasnt till 4pm. Since I had an hour break intbetween my next class, we went to eat. I was so dreading to go to my next class. Agh!

It was my boss' 30th birfday yesterday, unfortunately I wasnt able to go to eat w/them. I made fried rice w/the kids. With the new changes, I wont be able to cook w/the kids anymore. My coworker is going ot be taking that class over. Imma miss but at least I dont gotta worry bout trying to figure out wha to cook errthurs. Went and dropped off more stuff at my new site. I dont know how Im gonna get errthang ready in a week. So much stuff yet to do, I need literally a whole day to clean things up and get errthang the way I want it. Im still kinda confused how to set-up the room.

SRE was good, I was kinda dissapointed in them cuz we weve been working on the steps to reconcliation for the past two weeks. Well I had them write down the steps and then wanted them to study it. Then I would give them a quiz afterwurrds. WEll they didnt do quite as well as I wanted them to do. Then we went on to talk bout karma and forgiveness. Those guys crack me though sometimes. I asked gabe whos the brother of one of my other kids in my class to play music for me in two weeks he was like yeah. wOoO! Praise God!

After I went to 330 w/my ol homie from hs. She goes to the boogie like errweek and so I told her it was time to move on to chill w/adults now. It was funny cuz for some reason I thought when reirich and I use to go wed get thurr by like 9. Well we got thurr at like 9pm and it was dead. So we went to go eat then ended up going back later and then it sturrted to get jam packed. It was tight, though it was the first time whurr I really had a d0pe time thurr.

As usual errone was thurr, ran into gretchen, rachel, erick, bess, and my cousin thurr. It was coo cuz they had this whole 80's jam mix. My friend and I were laughing cuz she kept saying, 'i feel like an alien hurr!' Being she was the minority thurr it was kinda funny, I told her 'welcome to my world!' dang all these guys though whurr all trying to dance w/her. She had a good time though for her first time thurr, in fact she said I may have to come back hurr. haha Fun times this thursday@ 330! wooO!

Holla Back!

"I will not rest unless satan rests..."


It was so funny, grace from yfc called me tonite asking for a favor. She was looking for the ol skool youf rally from '02. I guess she needs it to watch when yfc did the 'deliver us' and 'stomp' dance. So as I was watching and fast fowarding a lot of the performances, I ran into SHs. It was funny cuz it brought back memories of pracitcing for this routine. It was through this performance that brought me to get to know SH. Ah yess I remember it like it was juss yesterday! Flash back to spring 02...

Well I remember tagging the SH website after coming to prayer meeting on tues. Then all of a sudden one sun. afternoon I get a IM from a 'hvnboundrockr' the convo went kinda like this:
hvnboundrockr: hey jason! this is mike from servant's heart wassup
JPFish187: oh hey wassup
hvnboundrockr: thanks for signing the SH guestbook
JPFish187: oh no problem.
hvboundrockr: hey were doing this skit, I was wondering if you think youd want ot be a part of it?
JPFish187: YEAH! i mean yeah! hahahaha

Now its not wha youre thinking, I didnt save that convo. mike and I had. Ha I know I'm weird but im not that strange. Yall know how I can remember things from waaaaay back and even the detail that went along with it. So from then I sturrted to go to practices. I remember the first one was at the mejias and I think I was early too. Ha I felt all weird and uncomfortable cuz I didnt really know anyone. I was sitting thurr talking to jennif on the couch in the living room as she was crocheting something for alegra i think.

I remember watching them practice in the backyurrd, thinking to myself, 'ahh I hope they dont expect me to do that! cuz I cant!' Then I sat thurr waiting and thinking, 'so wah do I do?' Then they showed me whurr my purrt came in, I thought ohh thas easy enough to do! haha Then I remember jay and pops having some convo. bout the stupid words jay use ot make up. like 'dippage' or something liek that, at the same time arch and him were looking to dload the instrumental to 'i got a crush on you.' Then shrek was playing on the tv, and I was getting turrd cuz I had to open at work the next morning. I also remember that one practice we did at my work inside the daycurr. Ha that was fun also! haha ahh the memories!

Its juss so funny to watch this and say oH thurrs so and so! and then thurrs that community! And you know and to this day, I still kinda sit and wonder if mike never asked me to be purrt of the skit....then I wonder if I would ever be purrt of SH. So in a sense I guess I kinda owe mike one! haha thanks mike for IMing that one sunday afternoon! haha Ill never forget this one particular moment, I think it was youf alpha season 2. YEAH it was season 2 cuz thas when jay and i whurr prayer purtners.

Anyway, I think it was during lunch or something like that. During praise & worship the music min. was playing and I was forced to go up to the front and dance w/them! Agh it was soo emburrsing one of the confirmation teachers made me up go up thurr! It was during O Magnify the Lord. Then I remember jay was like how cool this kid is actually into it, then to come to find out I was one of the youf alpha staff members. Ha I remember his cafteria shirt, my cousin Christ liked it and wanted one. Though we bof and no idea wha 'the cafteria closed' meant! haha how funny...Like I said before its juss funny how God works sometimes. Praise God for great memories that are unforgettable!



Skool sturrted again and I felt soo lazy. Praise God though I dont get any 8am classes. Those whurr juss killer cuz I hated waking up early. Once im up, Im fine its juss waking up that early in the morning. I have this music fundamentals class which should be interesting. Its suppose to teach how to read music and all that stuff. So hopefully, by the end of the semester I wont be so musically inclined. This weather lately, has made me feel sooooooo lazy! Thas one thing I hate bout hot weather. Whurrs the rain?! Bring back the rain!

Yesterday I wasnt suppose to join the rest of them for the kids day out. Well due to the fact they and more kids sign up last min. I had to go. Oh why?! The day sturrted out going bowling at valley view lanes. Imagine having like 26 kids figuring out which lane to put them on, adding thurr names to the comp. shoe sizes etc. etc. It was fun bowling w/bumpers on the lanes, made my scurr a lot higher! haha Remember the summer of '03 when linbrook was the place to be after prayer meeting? Ha yup those were the days alright!

After the movie, we went to eat pizza at the center. Pizza tastes and looks so much different hurr then it did in the nYC. Its a lot bigger and thicker, especially the sauce. From thurr we went to the cerritos mall to watch racing stripes. I dont know why my boss chose out of theatres the one in the cerritos mall to go watch it. THe place was packed, especially in the theatres cuz you had all these teenagers who had the day off going ot watch a movie. Dang, I hadnt been to watch a movie thurr since I was a sophmore in hS! The movie was okay, bout a zebra who becomes a race horse. Blah blah

It was coo cuz our buss was a churrter buss, like one of those tour busses kind. Well in the front seat whurr I was sitting thurr was a mic! Haha oh boy was I in heaven! I was telling the kids to behave and they were kinda puzzled at first wondering whurr the voice came from. 'Kids this is God speaking right now...'hahaha Then I wanted to do the whole standing up and say to your right we have the blah blah blah. Ha at the end of the day I was using it to sing with! haha

SRE was tight tonite, as I was telling errone during my praise report that its a blessing to know I can bring a little prayer meeting to my class. Its so cool how my kid can play the geetar and do the songs I ask him to do. Tonite him and abe were jamming together as we were singing. Though my kids are too prone on the whole action song thing. We were singing, 'community,' 'let the river flow' and 'mighty savior.' They liked the mighty savior one a lot. Though I was yelling I better see you guys rolling over that ocean and sea or else youll be doing it upin the front!' hahaha Oh boy juss wait till we do more action songs next tues.!

As I was telling banne and jaymee, I like to challenge my kids. Make them think outside the box, cuz I never want them to be juss 'comfortable' whurr thurr at. My job as thurr teacher is to challenge them to grow and raise them to become future saints. Sometimes, I may push them a little too hurrd, however, thas the same way God is w/us. If were not pushed how are we ever suppose to grow?! I made it very clurr to them, if thurr practicing the sacraments as they should be, they wont make thurr confirmation. Were going to do the 9 days w/St. Therese Novena together as a class. I talked to them bout miracles that took place on behalf of her intercession and read them stories. I hope they remember to do it errday.

Well thas juss a quick update on whas new...hurrs some more stuff to look back on. EnjoY!










check it, the future saints of our church! Woo! This back in 02 when God first gave me these kids. Granted some of them arent w/me anymore, but its so funny to see how much the ones who have stayed have grown up! My kids are growing up and pretty soon they'll be flying from the nest!




haha my first set of youf alpha kids, this is how i met kuya ariel as well! haha


What a great day its been!

"Walking in the light of God..."im done, im out God bless!

Cmon Over to Myspace...

"In each of our lives, Jesus comes as the bread of life-to be eaten, to be consumed by us. This is how he loves us. Then Jesus comes in our human life as the hungry one, the other, hoping to be fed by the love of our heart, by the service of our hands..."

So ever since Ive signed up and joined the myspace wagon, Im on it like errrday. Checking for new friends, new comments, whatever it maybe. I tell you, I've found soo many different people I had gone to HS with on this thing. It really is amazing, even more than I did on friendster! Its really interesting to see how they've changed or to see if theyre still the same. Almost errone changes after HS, heck I did. Not that I had done extremely bad things in hs nor do I have an interesting testimony to really shurr. ha Anyway, I think this myspace thing is pretty useful.

On top of the whole hs people I've come across, either my own kids from my own confirmation class or alumni! haha thas funny alumni kids who were in my class from previous yurrs. I took a tally( I know, I know) and realized almost half of my kids from my class are on my myspace. Like 11 of the people on my myspace are my confirmation kids, which is kinda funny. THen I learned that I've got bout 7 other kids who were in my class previously or in my youf alpha group or whatever. Then the rest of the people on thurr are either randoms who added me or from catholic communities.

Its coo cuz I juss learned how to put up music videos on my myspace profile. I never knew all this time that thurr was a site people juss went to. I was all passing by peoples profiles think they all knew how to do all that html stuff. Now I can change the diifferent videos each week, I put up the hope song video cuz im feelin that song right now.

I was a little paranoid went I went to mass this afternoon. Today was the first time I had brought my curr to the 1215pm mass since the incident. Then I had to purrk towards the back which made me even more paranoid. I was juss hoping that nothing would happen to it, then I sturrted to think I shouldve gotten more of the high tech alurrm that would signal me if something was happening ot the curr. Then when mass was over I kinda rushed to make sure it was still thurr. ha You gotta understand the feelin thas all...ha

Sitting behind me at mass was an ol friend I had gone to high skool with. She graduated two yurrrs after I did, but we became good friends towards the end of my senior yurr. In fact, she was purrt of the youf alpha season one cast. Anyway, erronce in a while Ill see her at 1215pm mass. SHe goes to UCI and ive been trying to get to go to either liwanag or yfc, but its hurrd cuz her schedule doesnt usually let it happen. Anyway, so after mass I turned around and said hello. I asked how she was doing. SHe told me she was, 'okay' then she asked if wendy was in the sacristy. I told yeah then she went on to tell me how her father past away the other day. I could see she was trying to hold back from crying. I felt soo bad for her family.

She went on to explain how it was real sudden, he got sick and then caught pneumonia. He was in the hospital for a couple of days, then he couldnt hang on anymore. So they were going to talk to wendy bout arranging funeral services. I always wondered why it always her mom and her sister that was going to mass. I went on to tell her that her family and her dad was in my prayers. Then I told the mom the same thing, I could they were trying to hol back the tears. Wow thas gotta be hard, soo I ask that you please pray for my friend and her family. For healing and peace to get through this difficult time. thanks!

Music min. practice was fun, Im excited for HOly Spirit sat. Juss how the kids really get into it and by the end of the retreat they dont wanna leave. I remember the very first holy spirit sat. in the knight of columbus hall. Wow doesnt that juss bring back memories? In fact I even have the pics from that one. My how time sure goes by so fast! I had so much during my first holy spirit sat. I wanted to chill and hang out w/the SH people(that i didnt know at the time)afterwurrds cuz they seemed all cool. Well they are cool.

I was sending one of my kids the chords to the songs were gonna sing on tues. Its so cool how when we sing, we sing live. Like we have our own mini music min. in the class. I remember this one time I was making a reference about one of my kids, I think it was alaine, anyway whoever it was said kids? You dont got kids. I said yeah I do, I have a whole class full of them. Then they were like those arent your kids. Then I said uhh yeah, Im held accountable for thurr souls, thurrfore I call them my kids.

Okay im getting sleepy off to bed I go...i got stupid work tomorrow again on a holiday! oh why?! haha Im hoping that I wont have to spend the whole day thurr. My winter break is now officially over, wow it was one great though!


I love teaching SRE! wOoO!

"And beauty is her name..."im done, im out God bless!

Three Is the Magic Number!

"Faith is love in action, not feelings..."

Had a very fruitful productive core meeting in the morning. Praise God how he makes things so how do I describe it? He makes a way for errthang, thurr you go thas a better way to put it! Unfortunately, although we wont be able to have an LSS, he seemed to have something else in its path. Im excited for this new project we have and I know it can bear a lot of good fruit. Thurrs so many people out thurr who are confused and ignorant when it comes down to the churches teaching on morality. This hopefully, will send out a clurr positive message bout the churches teaching on the hot topics like sex, abortion, homosexuality, relationships etc. etc. Its gonna be crazy sexy cool! haha

Went to the Santo Nino yesterday to see wha I could or SH could do to help out. Tita josie put me in churrge of being the door monitor. Meaning, not letting anyone come to try and reserve seats for thurr peoples. It was a hurrd job cuz I didnt know which people were juss regulars and which were people people. Ha then all of a sudden after mass was over, I had a rush of people come in and want to pick up thurr santo nino to walk w/durining the procession. Oh man once that was over people rushed through the doors of that hall like it was the day after thanksgiving!

THe procession was coo cuz it showed a unity of the different ministries at the parish. Although, maybe some of them didnt know or understand the meaning of the santo nino, it was still coo. So I was lucky enough to get seats cuz oh man people cuz within 2 min the hall was packed!! I mean jam packed, the furr marshall wouldve had to shut us down! haha So w/chente's help we saved seats for tito jess, tita linda, banne and nini. Then when it came to getting the food, all of a sudden we got moved up to the banqueting table! It was like the royalty table whurr you had the food already thurr for you on the table! haha yess! it was like going from rags to riches! hahaha

Maan I ate like no other, I ate a lot of the lechon skin cuz it was juss so crunchy! I got to meet personally bishop luong. The performances were pretty entertaining. One guy sang that song when you say nothing at all. Sunny Hills filipino club did the tinkiling, though they messed up! ha cha chas dancing group did the actions and sang 'sure foundation.' Ha it reminded me of SFC. That group always sings songs that they sing from yfc/sfc. Its coo cuz I can sing w/them cuz I know it! wOoo! Had a fun talk w/jesty, as we filled each other in on the scoop at work. It's funny cuz he knew info. that I didnt even know! He told me he had met paul kim and gary manucal over at the kyrie group.

I was so tired afterwurrds but then I went w/burr and mike to mixwell cuz they had this sidewalk sale. Thought I'd go and check it out to see wha they had. They had this shirt I saw at a store in new york, though I figured they have a mixwell sturr at home so Id check thurr. Anyway, they didnt have the shirt I saw in new york but I bought a nice hoodie and another shirt to go with it. Can we say back to skool shopping?! WOoo! I love it! Came home and I knocked out soo slEeEeEeppPPppyyyYy!

I had gone to confession last nite at St. Pancratius in lakewood. One time when I was thurr for the CLP I had found out they had late nite confessions. So, if you have the need to get to confession and you ddint get the chance to go earlier then you can go thurr. Its from 8pm-9pm, which is coo cuz its the late in the evening so you dont gotta rush. I found in the main entrance to the parish they sell these books as well. Thurr whurr like 3-4 ones that I saw that I liked that I was real close to buying. Then I figured I have two more books that I still need to finish. Come ot think of it, I still need to finish my purpose driven life one.

So while waiting for Fr. to come, I was reading the tidings and found an interesting article in thurr. It was called, 'In disaster, people ask: Why does God allow suffering?' The question was posed that if God is this all powerful and all loving and good God, why does he allow suffering on the scale of tsunamis that messed up the southeast asia? A anglician priest from australia felt it was the warning of God's coming and final judgement. A time of reflection to look deeply into ouur lives. Then a cardinal from montreal canada made this comment, 'that people always have been in revolt agaisnt the creater and that God is not a puppeteer controlling events. People should not pray for a magical healing or for a supernatural intervention, but for the strength and courage to pass through a trial or ordeal in the way Jesus did.' I totally agreed w/this comment cuz people too often today can be so ignorant. In fact society hates the least bit feeling of suffering. When suffering does occurr instead of juss dealing w/it they blame God for it.

Then a bishop from calgary, alberta gave this thought, 'The crib and the cross are part of the one mystery of the Incarnation, and there really isnt much distance between Bethlehem and Calvary.' So going back to the question, why does God let stuff like this happen? A priest by the name of Fr. Coote said, 'God made a material world, with laws of gravity and that he is not an interventionist. God suffers when we suffer. He does not force his love on us like a tidal wave. The Christian God is a God of vulnerability. The biggest risk God takes is to love us uncondtionally. God is forever taking risks. He's in our shoes. God has stepped into our shoes in solidarity with us in all things. He share our humanity to show that he did not make a mistake when he created you and me.' Later one Fr. added, that its good to question, that it 'takes us out of our complancey.'

Anyway, I juss thought it was an interesting article to shurr w/errone. Agh I need to find more myspace friends to fill up my 7th page! woOo! Oh its so cool cuz my parents bathroom is pretty much finsihed now. After months of putting it together, its finally done. WHich is really nice to see the house coming back to normal again. For the longest time our house was a mess, we had things errwhurr cuz of all the construction we were doing. Its good to see a normal house again! aha Oh yeah its so cool cuz I picked up my friend the Eternally Yours song! Its been a while since I heard it and when I listened to it again, I realized why I love the song so freaking much!!!
Agh I have to work tomorrow!

"Now you can fly the friendly skies..."im done, im out God bless!

Rich Wha? RichMOND

"If one man struggles, the entire team struggles; when one player triumphs, we all triumph..."


I think this add on to one of my favorie movies list. Obviously, I watched the movie Coached Carter last nite. Maan it was packed, I dont understand how theatres put some of these opening day movies into the smaller theatres. Its kinda like dont they think they'd expect a big crowd? Anyway, so chentel and I went to watch it at the block last nite. It was jam packed inside the theatre! Literally errseat was taken, we had to ask someone if they could move down a seat so we could sit together. I felt bad for the ones who wanted to watch but thurr was no room. I think if that was me I wouldve complained, or asked why didnt they put in two theatres. Its not furr that I bought tickets to a certain showing and thurr telling me to either get a refund or exchange them for the next show. Oh well, at least I got a seat! wooOo!

This was probably one of the best basketball type movies Ive seen. Though in a sense its kinda predictable. Wha I loved bout this movie is the different themes or lesson you can take from it. Okay, call me a nerd but sometimes when I sit and watch movies I try to draw religous themes from it. Anyway, one of the reasons I liked it so much was cuz it was real. Well it was based on a true story(burr i think we should watch this movie, you might like it yay!). Its juss amazing how this coach became an source of inspiration for these kids. He came in and totally juss cleaned house.

One of my fav purrts in the movie, was when cruz came back wanting to join the team. The coach had him do a certain of suicides and push ups in order to come back. He had the deadline of the end of the week to do. Friday came and he didnt make the the quota given to him. As the coach was bout to turn him away, his teammates stepped up and offered to do whatever remaining suicides and push ups for him. The quote above is similar to the verse of 'so that there maybe no division in the body, but that the parts have the same concern for one another. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.' (1 cor. 12:25-26) Thurrs another purts of the movie I liked, but I wont get into it, I'll let you watch it for yourself. Agh I dont want to ruin it for yall.

Thursday, I spent pretty much the whole work day cleaning up my new center. It has this weird ugly smell to it. It was coo cuz I came after all the junk work was gone. They rented ouut this huge dumpster and juss through massive tons of junk away. Then when I came in, we threw away more massive junk. The hurrd purrt now is seeinig if thurr gonna get me furniture and some more bulletin board stuff. I have these two rooms that I need to decorate and put up tons of bulletin boards. Its a nice cute little site I have, thurrs a lot of potential to this place and I know thurr gonna be expecting a lot from me.

SRE was coo its been a while since Ive actually did a lesson, lesson with them. It was funny one of my kids had a Jesus piece like a replica one from kanye west. I tried it on to see how heavy it was, its all big and bulky. Its gold too and it looks all weird, ha I think ill juss stick to my own Jesus piece. So these kids are going to prepare to make thurr first eva confession. Im hoping thurr gonna be ready. For the most part they seem like thurr paying attention. I had them write letters to Jesus on wha they could do to be better. Then I told them to keep it, until after theyve made thurr reconciliation and shur it w/Jesus. Now that I think bout it, I shouldve kept it myself.

Its hurrd to believe how its already been a week since my trip to new york. Im still doing the whole counting the time difference. So I guess I juss need to accept that no ones gonna return my camera. Which sucks, juss like how people took the stuff out of my curr, especially my bible. Agh! God must be really teaching me dettachment. AhhH! I juss wish I had those pics I took from sat. :sigh: oh well, at least I have a new camera to make new memories with now! haha! thanks friend!!!

The red cross called me last week to give a blood donation. I told them yes since it was for the whole tsunami disaster. So as the time got closer, ha I began to have second thoughts. No, I wasnt nervous or anything, I juss kinda got lazy and didnt want to. THough I realized, it was for a good reason and im sure thurr are people who could use my tasty blood. I got thurr and wow I filled up a pint in like less in 5 min. It doesnt take them long to poke the needle in me cuz I got good veins. ha! Then the purrt I hate, is sitting thurr for like 15min. I like the snacks, well yall know how I am, I cant sit still for nothing!

After giving blood, it juss drained me like I felt tired. So I did wha I do best and took a nap! Wooo! Im trying to get in as many naps as I can cuz I know when skool sturrts, its gonna be go go, go, go again. Anyway, this break has been nice and now its gonna suck when skool sturrts again. Oh why?! Homework, tests, books, and more. How exciting!! Im halfway through watching my whitenoise on bootleg. The beginning of the movie, is kinda boring. I'm at the good purrts now.


Go and watch coach currter in a theatre nurr you!

"Juss me and you..."im done, im out God bless!

Yesss!

"The home must be in accord with the Church, that all harmful influences be withheld from the souls of children. Where there is true piety in the home, purity of morals reigns supreme..."

Dang, my sleeping patterns have been a little bit jacked. Ive been waking up early then having a hurrd time going back to sleep again. Then last nite I had this bad stomach pain, I dont know what it was. I woke up ate a little bit of some crackers then it was alright for a while. Anyway, a lot of interesting things took place yesterday. I had met Jesus tonite also at dennys. Came across some ol homies from hs and more.

I was really dreading going into work yesterday, juss cuz aghhhhhhh having those couple days off was soo nice. Having a nice vacation then going back to work is always hurrd. Though, wed. was an easy day so it was coo. They were excited to see me back and asked all bout my trip and errthang bout it. Was telling my boss all bout the cathedral at St. Patricks and how nice it was. I found out they cancelled the purrk grand opening this sat. yess! I was happy to hurr that one. SO then they told me that thurr changing things around w/in the next couple weeks. Thurr reassigning positions. They want to me to help bring in the youf at this ol day curr center. So imma be thurr two days a week reconstructioning it and doing that. Im excited cuz its like my own center that imma have. Now its going to make even hurrder to leave.

After I went to the youf forum meeting at sPv. I kinda get turrd of going to these things, well I've only gone to one. Howerver, its always the same thing I hurr from those kids. They like to whine a lot, talking bout how they dont respected from the people at the parish blah blah blah. Agh! Then do something bout it!! Change your ways! So we were sitting thurr talking bout a youf center and wha they could do w/it. I was agaisnt the idea(though I didnt say that)cuz thurrs so much they can do before getting a youf center. A youf center should be the last thing right now the parish needs. The goal they should be thinking is how can they bring in the youf of the parish. THen they didnt understand bout wha thye needed to do in order to get a youf center. Sometimes, I tell you they dont think outside the box.

Afterwurrds, I went w/liz to dennys, which was coo. In the middle of our convo. I had met Jesus through these ladies who whurr praying over thurr food. Praising and thanking GOd for errthang they got. Then it was so funny cuz one of the ladies turned out and was like wow, hurr we are talking bout God, and then hurr you guys are talking bout God, what good christians! Then she asked whurr we were from and stuff. They went on to intro. themselves and told us how they worked for uci. Of course, I then told her bout how we had spirit games @ uci! hahah And how thurrs catholic communities over at uci. It was really nice.

THen I ran into these two girl I went to hs with. ONe of them I talk to erronce in a while, but havent seen in person since hs. The other I juss havent seen since the end of hs. They look the same, same personality but it was coo to see them. I was messing w/one of them saying how she needs to move on from the boogie. Ha were suppose to go next thurs. to 330 which reminds me I need to add it to my calendar. Anyway, its always coo to run into ol people you went to skool, especially if you havent seen them in ages. Busy weekend ahead...wOoO!


Weekend is hurr praise God!

"I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine..."im done, im out GOd bless!

"I tell you that you have less to suffer in following the Cross than in serving the world and its pleasures..."

Agh, I'm still getting use to going back to the time change. I feel so sleepy right now ha I've been waking up early and not being able to go back to sleep. When I got off the plane on mon. nite it felt all sticky and hot. All I heard when I was in new york was bout the rain and the storm, but its nice to see that sun is out. Hopefully, it'll rain this sat. so that way my work event cancelled, but its unlikely. AGh! Then while errone is off on mon. I gotta work. AgH! You know its tempting to put in your two weeks, w/o even having a back up job. I think though the city will pay me out for whatever extra sick, vacation time I dont use. I gotta sturrt looking for some place new to work.

I was so hungry after I got off the plane, so fred and I went over to fridays in cerritos. Oh man, it wasnt even busy and the service sucked! No one really greeted us when we walked in, we had to ask to get menus. Took forever for even our server to come out and ask us wha we want. I had to call the server to get me a refill on the drink. Finally, the manager comes out after I asked if we had a server. He intro. himself and took our orders and errthang. Cool guy, handled it for us. Then it took us forever to get our appetizers to come! Agh! I called the manager over at the end and explained how disspleased I was w/the service. He apologized and said thas not the way they do things at fridays and gave us complimentary appetizer coupons! yess!

I felt nice being home, unpacking and getting rid of all that stuff in my suit case. The lesson I learned in new york is that you ahve to cash. A lot those places dont have machines to use currds. So take note when you go to new york, make sure you bring lots of cash!! If I had brought more cash, I wouldve boughten more stuff. More of those souvenior shirts! Oh well, I guess its time for another trip! This time when I go, I'll have a better idea of wha to do, and whurr to go etc.

When I put in for my vacation time I was almost going to go back to work the next day. Then I figured why not take an extra day off. I shouldve taken two extra days! ha I shouldve said I was coming back on wed. morning! haha Agh oh well, yesterday though was a nice day off. Didnt sleep in as late as I wanted to, but its okay that little nap later on in the afternoon made up for it. Ive been having these stomach pains in the middle of the nite, I dont know wha it is. I think its juss acid or something, hope so.

So I ran all my eerrands yesterday morning, washed clothes from the trip. Went to walmurrt to drop off my cameras to get developed. Then I went to circuit city to see if they had the coach currter soundtrack, but they didnt. Went to get gas since I was running low on gas. Looks like the gas prices are sturrting to go back up again. Hopefully, it stays low, I hate paying over $2 a gallon for gas. Went to best buy and I bought the coach currter soundtrack thurr! yay! Went back to walmurrt and picked up my pics. It felt a little weird driving, whurr as I've been use to the whole subway thing.

Dropped off some souveniors and my grandmas house and ate lunch thurr. Then went w/my aunt over to fashion island. She had these gift currds to bloomingdales that she had ot use. Agh the macys over thurr is only a womens dept! They dont got a mens dept over thurr! I was getting really sleepy on the way home that I juss wanted to take a nap. Stopped by juice it up by the mall and picked up a lava flow. Came home and took a well deserved nap to renergize for the nite! Yess!

Woke up and then went to church. SRe was great cuz I finished errthang that I wanted to finish. We talked about the things we need to change in our life. With all this disaster going on in the world that maybe its something God could be telling us. I asked them if you found out that you had 1 week before judgement day, wha would be your reaction. One of the kids said, 'im going to hell.' ha We learned that song faithful father, though I didnt get as much singing participation as I wanted. Abe got me this really d0pe 2005 biblical calendar for christmas, its tight I love it!
Then towards the end of the class, I had them listen to that song 'hope' from the coach currter soundtrack. I think the songs pretty inspiring, I'm feelin it.

Prayer meeting was grreat! tito jess gave his apologetics talk bout Mary and the saints. It was hot inside the room cuz thurr was so many people. It was like a reunion! haha I could see how the spirit was really thurr during praise & worship that nite. Even though I wasnt thurr, I knwo it was great. Aela and achie brought thurr kids up and they totally enjoyed it. Afterwurrds we all went to mc donalds and chilled. Like I said it felt like a reunion cuz we all havent done in that in forever! Praise God!

I found this short story on GP's blog, so I'm going to post it on mine cuz its cooo! Its called, "Two Traveling Angels"

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole on the floor and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die. "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the floor. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the hole so that he wouldn't find it." "

Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem." Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...


I cant wait to watch coach cater!!

"See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder..."im done, im out God bless!

I'm From New York, New York

"The Our Father contains all the duties we owe to God, the acts of all the virtues and the petitions for all our spiritual and corporal needs..."

Back home again...aggh! Thas always the down purrt of vacations(sometimes)is coming home again. I had the greatest time in the nyc, if I get another chance to go and visit, im going back. The last couple days I was thurr, I got use to the cold weather. Though during some purrts of the day it felt like the cold mornings over hurr. Anyway, well hurrs a recap of my trip in new york from saturday on.

So my cousin and I woke up early on sat. morning to do all the site seeing stuff. See this is how it works, we were staying in queens(thas right yo!) so were about 20-30 min. away from the big city. We got dropped off that morning to the train station which is 5 min. from the house. Bought our train & metro ticket, which was like $30. The train comes errhour on the 56, we had to catch 7:56am train out to the city. We got on the train and it was pretty coo experience. The train stops at like 4-5 different stops on the way to penn station, which is the drop off to the city.

We get to penn station and since we didnt have breakfast, we stopped and got a bagle. Oh my gosh, inside this penn station its freakin huge! They have restaraunts, shops, newstands all inside thie huge train station. Anyway, so we ate then walked up to 34th street and saw a miracle...ha get it?! Like I was saying, so we get to 34th street to catch one of the yellow line n,q,r,w, subways down to lower manhattan. Wow, I loved the whole subway experience its fun.

The first stop we did was to check out the whole staute of liberty. So we get to the loading dock for the furry to take us over to staten island. Well, we got the ferry and then we see it pass the statue, ha then we realized we were on the wrong one! AgH! We get off the furry and then get back on the other one back to loading dock. THen we walked over to battery purrk whurr the real loading dock for the state was. Paid the addmission to do the whole statue tour. Meanwhile, pocs from sfc in jersey called me inviting me to the cluster assembly @ 3pm. As much as I wanted to go(one of my goals was to check out an sfc/yfc event)I knew I wasnt going to make it on time.

Anyway, we paid the $10 and then we went on the furry to whurr the statue was. It was such a hassle cuz we had to do all these freakin security checks. Worse then going to the aurrport, I dont know how many times I had to load and unload errthang. THen they have this machine I forgot wha its called, but it blows aurr. You walked in and air spits you and I guess its to detect to make sure youre not currying any firearms or explosives. Ha! So we finally get into the statue purrts and its 16o steps of sturrs to get up thurr. Well you dont actually get inside the statue only to the one brick purrt.

So after we did the whole statue thing, we went back on the subway to go and check out the site of the world trade center. The ground zero thing isnt really all that, I mean thurrs nothing on thurr cuz its all gated up. They have billboard pics of wha it use to look like and then pics of wha it looked on sept. 11. After that we walked around a bit to check out the area, then hopped back on the subway and went to china town/little italy, and soho. Chinatown is crazzy, all these people selling shirts and wha not. Little italy is cool, on errcorner thurrs like a small italian restaraunt. ANd then on the polls its painted in green, red, and white. We stopped and ate at this italian pizza place, cuz we juss had to try it.

WOw the pizza is sooo good! Pizza will never taste the same to me anymore. Thurr whurr these people who came in to eat after us. Well they told the cook that it was the little girls birfday. So he comes and has flour all over his hands and tries to put it on her face. Juss messing around, I think its juss italian tradition or something. But eww the girl was being all maarate, she was getting on my nerves. The guy even asked her to help him make a pizza! How cool is that! But she kept refusing to do it. THen she asked if her friend could help also, the guy said yeah so she gets up and mumbles, 'i dont even want to make a freaking pizza.' Geez...someone needs a whole attitude adjustment.

THen we walked in the fashion district at soho, its tight over thurr. Juss blocks of shops, some big, some small. A lot of different hip hop sturrs. They had this really cool scholastic book sturr that was like wow! If I was real young again, I wouldve loved to stay in thurr for hours. They had this readers theatre and juss all kinds of books. Oh yeah we saw this fire station too in little italy. Also on the way back from the battery purrk, I saw this cool church. IT was a the shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. So we went and checked it out, The church was small but it was real nice. I had taken a whole bunch of pics inside thurr too.

Back on the subway again to make our way up to times square. That place is crowded but it was so cool. They had this d0pe toys r us sturr that its like 3 floors! They even had a ferris wheel inside of it! Then they had this huge jurrsaic purrk dinosaur that looked real! Crazy! Saw the mtv studios, saw the light up broadway signs. Thurrs an nypd person on errstreet corner. People selling bootleg movies, cds, watches, and purses. Went into the quicksilver sturr and bought myself a NY sweatshirt and tshirt. Its like the same kind that I bought in maui, imma sturrt collecting those now. So anyway, going out of state soon let me know! haha

Got back on the subway to go back home. On the subway back to penn station, we met this cool guy. I think he was filipino anyway, told us how he use to be from pasadena and then moved to new york. He's an actor or probably more less an aspiring actor. From penn we got back on the train to queens. Thas whurr I left my camera, I fell asleep on the train ride home and I took my camera off my shoulders and I set down next to me. I realized it when I got home that it was gone...:sigh:

Sunday, we went to church w/the people we whurr staying with. Its a nice church, diocesian polish priests, pretty cool huh. I like how during the whole, "Lord I'm not worthy to receive you..."that they kneel. The church isnt as warm/friendly as sPv but it was cool. Father had a really good homily bout the baptism. I couldnt catch up w/all the stuff he was saying he was talking so fast. Anyway, afterwurrds we went to eat at this diner called the jackson hole. Its a nice little breakfast place to eat. They dropped us off at the station and we went back out to city and did some more stuff. Checked out the nyu dental skool whurr my cousin was going to have her intvw. at. Got on the bus over thurr cuz it was furr walk. Its coo cuz yo ucan use your metrocurrd fo the subway and buss.

Then we checked out the whole rockerfella center, I like to call it the rockafella center. ha They got a lot of banana republic sturrs out thurr. Then we saw people iceskating, it was hella crowded, people looked like a hurrd of cow ice skating in a circle. Saw the St. Patrick's Cathedral which was totally mesmerizing. They have the communion of states all around the entire church. Small little altars w/candles so people can pray to the saints. Then they had the huge altar for the big celebrations. THen they had this small altar called, Our lady of the rosary, I think thas it. ANyway, it was really bootiful check it...

Now I wish I had my digicam to zoom in, but thas the blesesd sacrament and then right above it, is Mama Mary. They wouldnt let you walk up to get a closer pic.

These are the doors to the church, pretty cool huh? ALl the different saints carved inside the doors. I really wish I had my digicam cuz that disposable one really sucked! Thurrs no zoom or anything, and for the price you pay for those things agh!

Im glad though at least this one turned out real clurr. How beautiful is that?! It was really croweded inside the church. Then behind the main altar is the memorial site for the past archbishops/cardinals from new york. Really pretty church! I wonder wha its like to hurr mass in thurr. its sites like this, that really make you appreciate your church and faith. Praise God!
After we walked around central purrk, which is huge! I bet you its so nice to be thurr during the summer and fall. Watching the leaves turn colors and seeing them fall. THen in the summer riding your bike or rollerblading. We saw a piece of the zoo I saw seals! They even have horse carriage rides and stuff you can do.

Came back home for a little bit then I decided since it was my last nite to go and take pics of time squrr. I was kinda skurred to go out bymyself since I had relied on my cousin during the whole weekend. Though I made it out okay! Met nas inside the subway station and I asked this foo to take a pic for me. He didnt even want to do it he asked me, 'why?' I said uhh cuz I want to. HE goes well I dont think youre suppose to, I said fine forget he goes no really. I said whatever then walked away. So I asked someone else ot take it for me and they did. AgH stupid guy!


Monday while my cousin had her invtw, I went back out to soho and looked for the triple 5 soul sturr. BUt I didnt find it and I forgot to get the exact cross streets it was on. Came back home and juss chilled till it was time to go back to the aurrport. All in all despite loosing the camera, I loved out thurr! I would love to go back out thurr and stay for anotha weekend. THe walking is tiring but you get use to it. Its funny how people juss jwalk all over the place. Praise God for juss a nice little break that I've wanted for a while. I even went to white castle! haha

Now its going back to the daily schedule and rountine again. I told mike that even though I was only gone for a week, it felt like I was gone for a whole week. I cant wait to go back thurr! Agh now its back to work and all that fun stuff. Greatttttttt! I hope it rains this weekend! yess! more rain!
I love New York! haha

"I got a hundred ways to make a grip, Yes, I'm from New York (New York..."im done, im out God bless!

Help St. Anthony!

What Up Son!

"Prayer is powerful beyond limits when we turn to the Immaculata who is queen even of God's heart..."

Thas new york talk from the ghetto and stuff! So, thanks for your prayers, Ive arrived hurr safely in the big apple. Im soo excited to start posting pics from my adventures. Im currently in bayside, whurr my friend denise and her husband live. ITs a nice quiet little town, in a nice quiet apt. WOnderful couple who I totally see the light of God shinning. I got home this morning @ 5am, so tired from all that chatroom talk that I juss wanted to go back to sleep. Got ready, finished all that last min. packing and then left to the lbc auurport. Its a nice small one, not all busy and hectic like lax. Sat thurr till boarding blogging, this lady sitting next to me kept looking at wha I was typing. Ha I shouldve typed something bout her on hurr and see how she wouldve reacted! hahaha

Boarded the plane and I got a window seat yess! Jett blue is a nice little flight, I loved the whole direct tv in front of you. Its coo cuz I got to watch all ths stuff. The time didnt go by as fast as I wanted it to. As soon as I sat down, I sturrted to pray the rosary and by the time I got to the 5th decade, I was falling asleep. Finished praying then went to sleep, and I fell asleep comfortably. Woke up in time to watch my soap wOOo! Arrived an a half hour ahead of time, which is cool. Took the cab which was freakin $32 over to denise's house.

So my cousin arrives around 430ish and we decide to sturrt explorring. The town is kinda like lahiana in maui. They even have a mooses like they did in maui! haha We walked around looking for something good to eat, we saw a mcdonalds, but we thought we'd walk a little further to check out wha else. Then my cousin spotted a white castle! hahahaha YOu know from that one movie? Anyway, we thought we'd eat thurr since she heard it was cheap and good. Oh man the hamburgers are soo freakin smalL! I guess that place is only good for snack size meals for late nite runs.

After we ate, we walked around some more and then we were bof feeling hungry. Ha I spotted this 4.99 appetizer calamari at some chinese restaraunt, so we went in and ordered some of that, some fried rice and some whine! hahahahaha Whas really cool bout all these places hurr is that you can take out and they drop off at your house. Some of these places do take out delivery till like even midnight which is cool. I can imagine myself, ordering cheesecake factory at like 10pm. haha! thatd be tight!

We get back to the house @ like 7pm and no one was thurr so we watched some tv. Denise and jim come home and then we sat and visited w/them for a while. Discussed wha we wanted to do the different things out hurr to do. Kinda put together an intinerary for the next couple days whurr hurr. So tomorrow, were going to do all the tourist stuff. You know like check out the statue of liberty, central purrk, empire state building, etc. etc. Look for us during trl tomorrow! hahaha Were going to take the train tomorrow too, im so excited! wOOo! Although the weater is cooold, its nice. Hopefully, its warmer tomorrow and it doesnt rain! agH!


I love new york! wooO!

"Here I go scream my lungs out to try to get to you..."im done, im out GOd bless!

The Terminal

"An Act of Perfect Acceptance to the will of God unites us more to Him than a hundred other acts of virtue..."

So hurr I am its about 617am and Im in the terminal waiting for my flight to board. This will be the first time that I'll be flying indepedent like on my own! Its kinda exciting, going and exploring to different places on your own. I kinda like this whole traveling deal, makes me want to see whurr else I can go to. Praise God for wireless internet wOO! I barely got any sleep last nite cuz I was too busy in that 'agh' chatroom. I figured that I'd juss sleep on the plane or something, I havent anything to eat either, but its coo im not real hungry anyway. My blog song, 'ave maria' is playing, which probably is a reminder to pray before I take off. Thurrs so many people going aboard for this jetblue.

Praise God that I wont be in a hotel, that Ill have a nice comfy home to be in while in the nyc. A friend of mine who use to teach SRE is letting me stay w/her while down thurr. She's a really friendly person, who was always thinking of others. So yesterday morning, I went over thurr to her sister's work to get her number. From then I tried to keep calling but no one picked up. And I still had no hotel accomodations yet and the cheapest rate was $91 a nite. Well I have to drop off some fliers @ polycarp for work, so of course I make a brief visit to the Blessed Sacarment. After coming out I called her and she picked up woO! Praise God! So from thurr I was able to sort errthang out and wha not.

Anyway, I've been craving for the longest time a california burrito. I dont know why I juss was, so for lunch I decided to statisfy that hunger and pick one up. THen you know how that is when you eat something you've been craving for, it juss tastes soo good. I wonder if thurr gonna have some type of albertos over thurr in new york. Imma have to try a new york cheesecake and see if tastes like new york! haha Im excited to see wha kind of food thurr gonna have thurr. I remember that morning I woke up early in hawaii and walked ot get breakfast. Ha I felt like a longer but it was nice.

I made this clam chowda at work yesterday. I saw the recipe on the foodnetwork on sun. so I thought I'd try it out. Despite the fact I didnt taste it, it looked pretty good. Errone else said it was good so I guess it was. So you gotta pray that not only that I have a safe flight, that I dont get sick over thurr or come home sick. Thas the last thing I need right now is get to be sick. Im juss praying for healing and that I'll be okay. Even though its suppose to be cold over thurr.

SRe was real good last nite, I had to take over for another class so I had two instead of one. We sat thurr talking bout the tsunami and wha type of message we can learn from it. Then I related it all to repentance and really living each day like its last. I gave them a scenario that if fr. came in and told errone that the end of the world was on sun. wha would they do. They all agreed that they at least try and stop whatever bad it is thurr doing. So then we related to the message from isaiah in matthew 3:1-3 the whole voice of one calling in the dessert.

How its a new yurr so we should do wha we can to really prepare the way of the Lord inn our daily lives. Then I told them to journal wha it is that they would try to change, whether it be swearing, stealing etc. etc. Afterwurrds, I told them now that you know what it is you need to change, God's going to hold yall accountable for trying to do so. Then they were all like, 'hey you tricked us!' haha It was a good productive class we had last nite, its nite those whurr I wish we had more time.

Well I should get going now, cuz thurr bout to board the plane! Once again pray for a safe flight and I shall see you when I get back next weeK! woOoo!


new York hurrrrr i come!!

"I want to in the city that never sleeps..."im done, im out God bless!
