Full Circle

"O Sacrament of Love! O sign of Unity! O bond of Charity! He who would have Life finds here indeed a Life to live in and a Life to live by..."

This lenten season has seem to gone by pretty fast. I cant believe easter is only a week away! Then april will be hurr and then it'll be annivesary purty, youf rally, pcns, and retreats. All my saturdays are officially booked for april. Yes, spring is quickly approaching us and before you know it summer will be hurr. I really hope by summer that I'll have a new job at like a school district. Im grateful that I have a whole spring break to myself for the first time in yurrs. No work, no school, its gonna be grrrrrrreat! The days go by fast and faster. Were like almost half way into the yurr already. Then thanksgiving will roll around and soon before you know it, we will be in advent.

Woke up around 9am and then finished installing office xp. I was suppose to a get copy of it from john reyes, but well he never sent it to me! haha So I was curious to see if it would work if I dloaded it online. It worked, I was amazed! So now I have office xp on my laptop whurr I have all the cool power point backgrounds. Apparently the popos mustve called my neighbors, cuz I havent hurrd any bass bumpin all nite. Which is grrreat cuz at least its nice and quiet now whurr I dont have to wake up in the middle of the nite to bass bumpin.

Alaine called me this morning and she ended up stopping by. Went to the main place mall since she needed some time to kill. As I was walking thorugh the mall a rush of memories came back. Yeah, I know it sounds more dramatic then it seems. I was juss reminded of errthang that happened during my winter break. Went into the abercrombie and fitch store, then even more memories came back. I had alaine ask for her juss curious to see wha happened. Looks like mustve made the move to florida. Im curious to see if her number stills works or not. So wha am I talking bout? WEll let me explain...

Back during winter break, I had gone out to eat w/heif at maki maki in irvine. It's this sushi joint, so we sat at the sushi burr eating away. All of a sudden this girl walks into the restaraunt telling the people thurr she got stood up. Supposedly some guy was suppose to meet her up for dinner or whatever. Kinda like a date type of thing. Well she ends up sitting next to me and I tell heif(whos on the other side of me)wow she's hot. Ha A few min. pass and she kinda looks my way and then says, 'oh youre wearing a jacket frm my store.' I was like oh you work for a&f, she was like yeah then that spurrked up a whole convo between the 3 of us.

I was really feelin this girl at the time, thinking it would be tight if I ask for her #. The end of the nite comes and we were like the last 3 at the burr. As I was gonna ask for her # I got skurred cuz she was talking to the guy servers thurr. She told us she comes over thurr errmon. for sushi so she knows all the people thurr and they know her. Anyway, I decided not to ask for the # cuz I didnt want to ask in front of those peeps. The next day comes, and I go to her work planning on asking for her #. Ha I said if it's God's will then she'd be thurr. Even though I knew her schedule for the day(she told us during dinner)I figured thurr could always be something that could come up.

Anyway, I walk into the sturr and she's thurr! whoA! Then we sturrted to small talk blah blah then I asked her if it would be coo if I could have her #. She seemed a bit hesitant at first but then she was coo with it. So she gave me her #, I did the whole three day rule and called her like christmas eve. She was busy at the time, so we didnt get a chance to talk long. The weekend of new yurrs rolls around and I go back to the sturr. This was after christmas and so jay da banker went w/me. We were talking again small talking etc. etc. Then I asked her if it would be coo if we could go out for coffee sometime. She was coo w/that then decided we'd go next week.

So errthang is going all fine and dandy so furr. Step 1 and step 2 have been accomplished, yet I was trying not to think bout it cuz I didnt want to set myself up for a dissapointment. Wednesday nite comes and I meet her up at her work. She was suppose to be off by like 630 -7ish. After waiting a little bit I finally ask and she had the nite off. Oh why?! I called her up and she told me all this drama was going on w/her right now. Rent was due and the roommate didnt have the other half to pay for it. Work was going too well and she wanted to quit at the same time was seriously thinking of moving to florida. In the end we decided to try again the next week. WEll the next week comes and I call her ahead of time juss to make sure we were still coo. I ended up getting her vmail, left her the vmail and eeeend scene.

She never returned the call, but I wasnt mad or anything. I was real curious as to why God let it play out to whurr it did. It goes back to that whole entry crispy made bout putting certain people in your life for a short amount of time but not knowing the reason. This is one of those type of things. Though I think God mustve taken her away, cuz she had too much baggage. So to save me the drama and all the extra stress she could've given me, He took her away. Errthang works out in God's time. The lesson I got out of this? ha I feel bolder now haha jk that God is funny...

Okay so back to wha happened today. Went to mainplace w/alaine ended up eatingn at spoons cuz she was feelin real tipsy haha jk more less dizzy. I havent had spoons since they closed down the one on beach. Alaine said thurr closing a lot of spoons, maybe cuz thurr not making a whole lot of money. Its kinda the same thing as chili's I think. Came back a little before 1pm then she kept calling me cuz she got lost. Though I had hurrd time giving her directions cuz I'm not street smurt. I am a freeway person like my mom, I dont do side streets very well. Agh I told her she needs to learn how to drive freeway ha. Sidestreets are only gonna take so furr...

Had the annual 'pb lenten rubio luncheon' w/the peebs today. FOr the past 2 yurrs now, we always have a lenten luncheon. One friday during lent, we go to rubios to eat and catch up. ha kinda like the annual phily cheesesteak valentine luncheon. So if any yall want to sturrt a lunch tradtion somewhurr let me know! haha Having lunch w/the peeb was fun, she's so funny. I didnt even know that she was working at choc! I should tell her to get me a cami bracelt thurr.

Went to stations of the cross later on, another lenten tradition that I have. Going thorugh the stations is always a great way to reflect on the Passion. Forreal...as we go through each one of the stations I have a deeper understanding of them now. All that is thanks to mel gibson and his fancy cinema styles in the Passion of the Christ movie. Wha always gets me, is the 4th stations whurr Jesus meets his Mother. The flashback from tthe movie of that scene always comes to my mind.

Met up w/chentel and lon at bpd later aftewurrds. We were gonna eat at chillis but the wait was like 45 min. wait. So we decided to settle for pat and oscars. the place SH loves to celebrate birfdays! haha I remember the summer of 03, when we were all hyper in the purking lot and we we were doing carwheels, splits, dancing, singing. and more. SH is fun when were all hyper and full of energy. Were known to do crazy things in purking lots. Like when we were all dancing last summer in that one chinese place purrking lot. Or how bout practicing the suicide skit inside the peacock suites purrking structure! haha fun times, fun times!

Watched the ring 2 and its real good! I like it better then the first one cuz thurrs closesure and you understand the movie more. I gotta go back and watch teh first one all over. Though I think the difference between the two, is that the new one is diirected by a japanese guy. I still wannna see the japanese version of the ring. I heard thas skurry! I remember watchng the first one at the burrs house w/jay and burr. We were on the couch in the living room and they bof woould hide themselves under the covers during the skurry purts! haha Chentel jumped quite a few times. Though its longer then the first one and better, though now that I think bout it, some purrts kinda juss dragged on. Its still great though!! I say go watch it for yourself.

Lenten Action.

Deliberately count your BLESSINGS in a prayerful way today.

Prayer

Hear, Lord, the prayers we offer from contrite hearts. Have pity on us as we acknowledge our sins. Lead us back to the way
of holiness. Protect us now and always from the wounds of sin. May we ever keep safe in all its fullness the gift your love once
gave us and your mercy now restores. Amen.

Let's welcome back the rain!
