In a flash

"History doesn't belong to the best. It belongs to those who want it the worst..."

So when I browse through people's myspace, I like to read thurr blogs. Which reminds me I need to delete mine cuz thurr so old. I came across this one guy's blog and I guess he juss got out of the hospital cuz he had been diagnosed w/leukmia. This guy is the same age as I am and yet is living with such a horrific disease. It must be hell to live your life around that, I mean changing your whole life around cuz of it. The plans you may have had for yourself, you may not be able to do anymore. Knowing that the disease can possibly get worse. Yikes.

I was thinking the other day, it would be hella skurry for them to open my ankle up and be mistaken. To find out that this tumor is actually cancerous...oh my. I really dont know wha I would do. I think I'd feel lost, definetly skurred depending on how bad it was. Though its too bad that it tkaes some life changing experience for people to find God. From that point on they change thurr lives, saying theyre gonna stop that 'my time only' relationship w/God. Yet, something that only lasts temporary, the next week thurr out doing the same thing they whurr doing before.

The importance of God and prayer is the daily life is extremely important. Giving time out to God and thanking him for all the things He has given. I've told my kids, they say you should spend at least 3o min. w/God and when the days are real busy, then 1 hr. Readingn stuff like that bout people humbles me. Makes me realize the blessings I have in life. All the things that surround me. Ahhhhh I want to type more but I gotta get to bed. So glad the skool/work week is coming to a close! The weekends hurr...so I must admit I've been bothered by a certain thing. Its hurrd to jusss let it go and not think bout it.

Always count your blessings...

"We gotta make a change..."im done, im out God bless!

Great Times!

Bishop


"Christianity is not about immediate gratification; it is about immediate grace..."

I took this quote off the bible geek, life teen site. Bible Geek went on to discuss how God is not a genie, ready to grant our errcomand, yet God isnt santa either, waiting for us to send him our lists. God isnt an 'ATM' either ready to get quick change. Yet God is our Savior whos Spirit is full of patience, gentleness, and faithfulness. I always like bible geeks stuff it has really good reflections, that make anyone really think. PRaise God for good spiritual nourishment that keeps my soul fed. The Bishop came to sPv last nite, a great guy! Very kind and not to mention funny as well. So he came to sPv to talk the youf of the parish, manily the SRE classes. Speaking of SRE, did you know they changed the name of SRE? Its called, 'faith formation' now, rather school of religous education. IT sounds kinda weird, more like an alpha thing or something. I think SRE sticks better cuz thas wha the program is really all bout, a 'skool of religous ed.' Anyway, the bishop came and it was cool. He shurred w/errone his testimony and the things he enjoys doing. My class was lucky enough to take a picture w/him afterwurrds woOO!



Went to chillis w/caroline and liz after sre was over. It was good times, shurring stories, talking bout our classes, and all that jazz. Praise God that He steered me in the right direction, confirming more and more each day that I made the right decision. As always He provides for my needs and wants, in His time. I only wished that the three of us had gotten closer at the beginning of the yurr. Oh well, its fun when the three of us hang out. Hurrs a jazzy cool picture the three of us took w/the bishop. Dang, I've gotten to be real fat! I think after surgery, imma sturrt running again. Ive been thinking of doing the lbc marathon. I had ran a 1/2 marathon before, so a full one shouldnt be too much more difficult.


Thuggin it

What can I say bout this kid?! He's freakin funny as heck. I remember him coming to my class all skinny and scrawny. Well he's still skinny, yet he's pretty buff now ha yet still dark. THough he's one of those kids that well always suprises me w/his thoughts. Even though by looking at him, or his personality he may not seem deep, he's got some pretty good stuff. He loves to draw pictures and doodle in my class while I lecture. I remember thurr was this particular moment though, that I really seen God working in him. During youf alpha last yurr, I was kinda pushing him to come to the confession w/the rest of my group. We were gonna have a confession purtty. He didnt want to go cuz he had to be at some purrty, I threw at him the god currd and he tripped out, and got upset at me. Though later on he comes back and apologizes, explaining he had a bad day and realized he should go to the confession purrty. It was one of those defining moments in teaching.

I think its important to have some type of personal relationship w/your kids. Up to a certain extent of course. Its important though making sure that they know whurr to draw the line. From wha I've experienced teaching them, they look for help and guidance; especially when it comes to the church. I guess juss letting them know that youre thurr for them, brings a certain level of security for them. To bond w/them and learn bout them is truly amazing cuz you see things in them that maybe others dont see. Praise God for these souls!

Fambizzle

I also love heif! We were talking last nite for a while, and it was great. I've learned that even though dettachment is skurry, beautiful fruits can come out of it. Gosh, I remember constnantly wrecking my brain w/the thought of having to leave the daycurr. Leave behind all the relationships, I had established w/people. Not being able to talk to heif errrday and all the fun times we shurred working together. Yet, going out on your own isnt a bad thing. Even though, we may not errday, our friendship is still the same. Which is great, cuz heif is the bestest friend eva!

Which leads me to my next thing bout freds question on leaving a group. I think thurrs bof positives and negatives to the situation. Dettachment is hurrd, especially, when you've been w/a group for a while. Yet, its often said life is about taking risks going out and discovering things on your own. Doing things on your own pushes one to go really find ways to be fed spiritually. I do think thurr comes a time w/God does call people to step out of thurr own comfort zone and leave. I've seen it happen w/a couple of people I know. Often times, many people depend on the group to keep them going that when thurr left on thurr own, thurr lost. Thurrs positives and negatives to both situations. For me personally, well I'll get into that later...I'll save that for a rainy day.

Praise God for great times w/great people!

"YOu know what I wanna do..."im done, im out God bless!

Color or shave?

saints

"In the end, what affects your life most deeply are things too simple to talk about..."

So I have a situation, that I need your input on. Well Ive bee contemplating about this for a while, and I want to change my hurr. I can do either one of two things, either bleach it or shave it. I remember the days when I use to bleach my hurr all the time. Then my roots would grow out and it would turn into that perfect color that Id want. I also remember a couple yurrs ago, when I took the risk and shaved it all off. Something I had never done before, but I did it. It was nice cuz I didnt have to worry bout fixing my hurr and all that stuff. Let's take a poll, should I bleach it, shave it or leave it the way it is. Well, I dont really want to leave it the way it is but whatever.

Last nite I had gotten a little emo during adoration. Well first off, thurrs this spot that I always sit at during adoration or daily mass. If someone takes that spot then it throws me off. Anyway, I was reading my kids journals the topic was, 'Has this class made some type of impact in your spirituality, yes or no? If yes explain how.' It took me a good hmm 45 min. to read all 29 responses that were all positive, to my suprise. The best thing to read is when you have a kid who hated going to mass, didnt bother to pay attention, thought it was boring turn around and say, 'I actually want to go to mass on sundays.' This might sound gay, but it really does touches me. To know that they have found that love for God, the same way I first did. Thas whurr it all sturrts.

Many of them said they were grateful for the bonds they've made w/some of thurr classmates. After talking to all the other confirmation II classes, we each have our unique creative style. Caroline and Felipe do a lot of presentation and group projects, whurr as I had lacked that. Group interaction, allowing them to really get to one another and interact, I think if my class wasnt so durrn big and had more time, I would've loved to do that. Liz, likes to talk bout current events, real life situations that are going on today. For me, I feel thurrs so much I need to cover in a limited of time its hurrd. Cyndi, I think has the same teaching style as liz, very open forum type thing.

As for me? I like to have structure, I feel God is a God of order; thurrfore I must have some type of structure to my class. I love singing in class, bringing a little bit of praise & worship down to class. Letting them understand how singing is praying twice. At the same time, I've learned that so many of my kids are blessed w/gift why not allow them to use those gifts. Then I like reading wha they have to say, thurr thoughts through journals. SOme kids arent has verbal as others, so they have an easier time expressing thurr thoughts on paper, rather than in person.

After that, then I'll give them a lecture on whatever the spirit leads me to discuss w/them that nite. Wether it be love and relationships, importance of going to mass whatever it is, I want to leave them w/some food for thought. I challenge my kids a lot, I feel its of was of energy if they dont use thurr brain. I want them to think outside of the box and challenge themselves to think. Our faith isnt something thas handed to use on a golden platter, its something we work for.

Its funny how many of them saw my struggles during class, how impatient I would get w/many of them. How difficult it was to teach when you had those who dissrupted the teaching/learning process. Yet, I think it was thurr prayers that got me through it all. I felt thurr prayers as they would pray for me. As a whole I think they knew how much they all meant to me, and how much I was dedicated to them. Id always tell them, that if I wanted to I could always bail out on them and theyd have some totally different teacher, who would probably be a lot different than me.

Its amazing how God works through these 30 young souls. To read stuff like, 'I am proud to say that I am a catholic-christian' is beyond great. We all live in a society corrupted by sex, lies, and well corruption! ha Yet, they stand out and say how proud they are to be catholic and how much they love the church says A LOT. For them to understand the teachings and concepts of the church and shurr it w/others is specatacular. It goes to show God is really working through these young souls. Yeah, I'll admit, I do often doubt if they actually are listening, but juss like us, kids when we were younger, we may not show our appreciation to our parents, but we love them. So even though, they may not seem interested or paying attention, I know the thinking process is going on.

One student was on the border line of wanting to conver to being a protestant. Yet she realized and was able to understand how much truf the catholic church holds. How special it is, which helped her decide to want to make her confirmation. Praise God, another soul saved. Another kid, said thurr relationship w/God has really grown over the course of the yurr. How he knows God will never abandon him and how much more faith he has now. To doing stuff like praying the rosary, and trying to understand the readings at mass, is freakn great!

I told them all at the very begining of the yurr, that all I asked(besides the regular typical classroom rules) was to be honest, open, and willing. Now, at the end of the yurr they gave me thurr honesty, openess to try new things, learn action songs, sing and willing. Making that committment to be thurr errtues. Giving thurr 'yes' to God in all they do. Its funny one girl said, 'you were a stern teacher in trying to keep us on the path and doing what was best for our faiths, yet you still gave us room to discover, learn for ourselves, and not sweat the small stuff. Other teachers can be more confining, but you gave us that trust.' I've learned that you must allow room for growth, that you cant smother people, or else they wont grow. You gotta let them discover things on thurr own as well.

With only less then 2 weeks left, until theyre gone I feel like I've been preparing them to fly. That they've been in the nest now for a while and after confirmation is over, they're going to spread thurr own wings and fly. Hmm kinda like that song by kelly clarkson, 'breakaway.

I'll spread my wings and
I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.

So as they breakaway and learn how to fly, I pray that they dont fly away from whurr they sturrted. The seeds have been planted, watered, and now the beautiful flowers are beginning to bloom in God's garden. Its funny, in the beginning of the yurr I had made a request to 'filter out' all the kids whom I was unfamiliar with, juss to keep the intimacy I had w/the ones who's been in my class. Though it never happened, obviously God wanted all them, even ones who I didnt know in my class for a reason. Within the past couple of months, I've realize wha that reason was and I couldnt be more happy w/God's decision. Ü May 7 is going to be one exciting day, I'm excited and you should be too! yay!

Also, thank YOU for your prayers, your support, and help in making a difference in these kids lives! Praise God for all teachers, who work endlessly ensuring the best education for the kids. Even when the times get rough, and the days get durrk, you stand by your commitment to them! yay!

In the meantime, I ask you all for a HUGE favor, to continue to pray for these souls, today, tomorrow, and from now on that they'll continue to have that zeal for God and mother church, that they'll pass on to others wha they've learned, to brnig back more souls for His greater glory!

Out of the darkness and into the sun.

But I won't forget all the ones that I love.

I'll take a risk, take a chance,

Make a change, and break away

"Yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me;" Galatians 2:20

COnfirmation coming up may 7!!

"Make a change, and break away..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Heavy Eyes

"The hardest part of taking that step forward is knowing that your footprints are bound to be erased by the marking of someone else..."

Every once in a while, when I go to visit Jesus at sPv, on saturdays, thurrs always a weddign happening. Its fun watching them through the chapel and see how happy the two couple are. Especially, when it comes to a filipino wedding. It makes you want to go out and be purrt of the wedding purty. As I was coming into the church, the wedding was already over. Yet I couldnt help to be curious to see whole the couple whurr, so I picked up a program. It seemed like a nice small wedding. Young couple, probably in thurr late 20's or so. The reception was happening in la habra. I prayed for them while I was thurr, praying for a good solid catholic marriage. Really based on love for God and for each other. Weddings are fun to go!

Went to 1215pm mass today and something kinda weirded me out. So hurr I was praying before mass sturrts and my thoughts are disturbed as I hurr someone calling out my name. You know how that is, youre like deep in prayer then all of sudden you get thrown off by something. Anyway, so I hurr 'fish, fish' I dont know a couple of times. I wasnt sure if I was hurring things or someone really was calling my name. I turned around and it was one of my kids. He was like 'wassup fish,' to me, so I kinda juss gave him the nodd. It was weird cuz whenever I go to 1215pm mass, he never says sup to me. It was cool he said hi though. One thing that makes me happy is whne youre at mass and you see your kids going too. Praise God!

More to come later on...falling asleep

P is for PCN

"It's about the folds behind the smile...the wrinkles behind the frown. It's about a mutual understanding that the surface conveys a mirage of our complicated souls. It's about taking a deeper look...a complicated look. Ironically, it's the things that seem the most obvious that turn out to be the least transparent..."

It felt real nice to sleep in this morning, I was actually hoping it was going to rain. I love sleeping in and juss listening to the rain drops falling on my head. When the weather is gloomy its like one of them lazy days. Whurr you juss dont want to do anything, but chill at home. Turn on the fire place, make some hot chocolate and sit back and relax. Lay in bed w/a warm blanket, while watching a dvd from your laptop. Ahhhh yup thas one perfect day. Too bad it didnt rain and too bad I had a busy schedule for the day.

You know I was wondering those who read my blog, even bother to read the quote. Or do they juss skim down to read the entry posted for the day. Anyway, you should read the quotes if you dont. I love quotes especially ones that have been written by holy people like the saints and martyrs cuz even though they may say the simplest things, it says so much. I also like quotes that are inspirational/motivational, not that it motivates me ha it juss gives me some food for thought.

ONe of my students invited me to his birfday purrty at his house. Actually, its combo purrty for him and his brother. I think he felt like he kinda had to entertain me the whole time, since I was his guest. They have a huge backyurrd and nice house too, well all them houses in la palma are nice. Most of them are all two story also, so it makes it even nicer. Anyway, so the backyurrd had this patio area w/all tiles. Then they juss installed this bar area also on the patio. TOwards the back they have this small spa w/a mini gazebo. I miss my spa too bad the whole electrical system is too old and it doesnt work no more. THen in the middle they had this tent type thing whurr all the food was and whurr people could sit.

HIs parents whurr nice, well I met his dad and his mom juss kinda smiled at me errtiem she passed me by. Thurr whurr tons of people, a lot he didnt even really know. Its cute they have this tradition that whenever a family member leaves, they all run to the backyurrd and wave goodbye to them from over the wall. I felt a little awkward being thurr, but it was coo. I hope I didnt seem stuck up cuz I didnt really move to the area whur all his cousins whurr. He wanted me to ha but I felt weird. I think it wouldve been weirder for me to intro. me and say, 'oh yeah by the way, this is my confirmation teacher from church.' haha

Went to sunny hill's pcn later that nite. My friend was suppose to go, but then she had curr problems so we decided wed meet up after. Anyway, wow talk bout filipino culture nite...they even sturrted the show filipino time. Calvin's mom hooked it up, so I didnt have to sit so furr back. In fact I got 2nd to the front seats, which was perfect so I could see errthang up close. I had some of my students performing in the show thas why I went. Anyway, for the most purrt it was coo. Some things I didnt understand though like why they had tathitian dancing after intermission. Also how come they didnt have a modern like all other pcns do. My fav was the tinikling dance cuz they all switched positions and took turns, that was tight. I saw therese and jason thurr, therese was happy I came.

Im sure they all feel relieved now that its over. I know that feeling of planning something big and practicing, then when its over you can breathe. It brought back memories of planning international week two yurrs in a row. Man I remember getting heat my jr. yurr cuz we had to cut the 2nd assembly short, so not errone got to see the whole thing. Doing that kind of stuff was fun in ASB. Though, personally, for me, I dont like doing it as a job. I think cuz its a job so knowing it has come to out perfect or else...that type of thing. Whurr as outside of work if it dont come out perfect its cool.

Afterwurrds, my friend didnt pick up her phone so that idea was shot down the drain. Being I was hungry, alaine met up w/me and we had dennys. I was so hungry! Ha I didnt leave a tip and juss gave exact change. The waitress left us our bill all early, w/o even bothering to ask if we needed anything else. Then alaine had told her she might be ordering dessert, but the waitress didnt come back to check to see if she wanted it. I dont understand how when you order a side of ranch, w/your order, they dont bring it out w/your order. So then you ahve to go through the hassle of asking them again for it and blah blah aghh!

Thas all for now...

Weekend is almost over oh why?!

"Ice cream, you know wha I mean, peaches and cream..."im done, im out God bless!

Endlessly

"Life isn't about how many breaths you take, its about the moments that will take your breath away..."

I added a new song to my blog, its called 'endlessly.' Im really diggin this song, and I remember when I first heard it, I was like wooow! When I was reading this quote, that song 'take my breath away' came to mind. Remember from that movie 'top gun?' I thikn often times in life, we get curried away w/our day to day activites, we fail to realize those 'moments.' It doesnt even have to be something big, either. I love those moments whurr youre sooo whooooooa like in awe and it does really take your breath away. SOunds corny, but when you look back on those moments, you do realize how great they were. So the question I pose to you is, name a recent moment in YOUR life that took your breath away?

Anyway, I need to sturrt shopping for something to whurr for 1st communion and confirmation. I dont know what to whurr, and I have nothing in my closet that will suffice. I found a little bout the new pastor for sPv, he sounds like a cool guy. I really dont know much bout him, but from wha I heard from this guy at my meeting, he's nice. Its juss gonna be curious to see how he's going to run things and wha he's going to change. I wonder when thurr gonna make an official announcement on who he is. In other news, as I was reading my daily journals, I came across some interesting thoughts this person had.

Sometimes we spend so much time trying to make the right decisions that before we know it, those decisions are no longer ours to be made. Time and reason go together like water and oil. There will always be those situations that we wish we could have handled better and problems that we lose the power to mend. Most of the time the only option we really have is to find a way to be okay with the way that things work out.

Nicely said, often times we do spend too much hoping to make the right decision. Yet, I think in those difficult times, whurr we rack ourselves over the brain bout the decisions thas when we totally empty ourselves and give it God. Hence, the expression, 'let go, let God.' Obviously, thurrs times whurr it doesnt work to our favor; however, we juss gotta accept whatever God willed to happen and move on. Of course, easier said then done but thurrs no point trying to live in the past. Juss remember God lets errthang happen for a reason, sometimes we dont understand why, but God has our back he knows whas best for us.

The thing about puzzles is that you put so much effort into constructing a complete picture, but when it's done, you come to realize that the end product becomes something completely seperate from you. We don't build things to hold on. We build them to let go.

I finally have updated my blog book. The whole month I was away from work, I didnt get a chance to print out all my entries. Well now its all updated and its looking good. I'm really glad boss lady gave me the idea to do this. Its fun to go back and look on your old entries. The things people said, the struggles you went through and how God made it all possible for you to get through it. Praise God!

Holla Back!

For those who have been following the news or politics lately, the GOP has threatned to use the nuclear opition in regards to judicial fillabusters. I think thas so stupid, I think its an abuse of power. Because they cant get thur way, thurr going to do whatever it takes to win. Ive read that many gop senators have expressed they wont support it. If you look back, the republicans didnt approve all of clinton's judicial nominees. On top of that even when the democrats whurr the majority they didnt even do half the things republicans are doing. Juss dirty politics as it's best.

Okay well, thas all I gotta get ready for a birfday purrty! yay!!

so much to do, so little time...

"I guess you were lost, when I met you..."im done, im out GOd bless!

Spring Cleaning

"Strive to acquire the virtues you think your brothers lack, and then you will no longer see their defects, because you yourselves will not have them..."

Julie is a great nurse! ha So last nite my throat was sturrting to hurt, I was having a hard time swallowing. I was hoping I wasnt catching anything, cuz I know the sore throat virus has been going around. She suggested I drink whiskey and honey, to kill the germs. Well, I didnt have any whiskey, so she said the next best thing, hot tea and honey. I did that before I went to bed, and when I woke up it was pretty much gone! Wow its like magic! haha jk It worked and I was good to go for the rest of the day! yay!!

I woke up this morning feelin so tired, but I was happy that it was thursday! yay! Went to music class and the instructor didnt the weirdest thing. He tapped off the last two rows of the classroom. So juss when I thought I was getting the whole minor scales thing, he throws another curve ball at us. Teaching us melodic, natural, and harmonic intervals or whatever theyre called. AgH! The guy sitting next to me, we bof looked at each other confused cuz we ended up getting totally lost. I somewaht understand it, but I guess its gonna take some more studying it to understand it. Music theory is gay! haha aghhh it can be so difficult if youre not use doing music.

$400 went down the drain to pay for my traffic ticket as well as traffic skool. Note to self: dont try to outrun a yellow light ever again. Im set to go to traffic skool sat. june 4, all freakin day! oh why?! LA county has it whurr you can take traffic skool online, stupid oc doesnt have that yet, so I actually have to drive down thurr and go to stupid skool. So I've learned my lesson, and I juss gotta remember to slow down while driving. Its hurrd not to drive fast, especially when youre on time limit and you want to get to your destination asap.

Work was pretty chill, I've been finding out all these different things that happened while I was gone. The two positions mike applied for before, are now reopened. THe two girls they hired ended up putting in thurr two weeks. So now well have 2 admin. clerk positions open, that are full time. My coworker and I were talking how I think were probably one of the only cities w/a 4-10 schedule. I love having every friday off to run errands, sleep in, and do wahtever I need to do. I was worried that I woudlnt be able to make it in two places in one nite. I had to work late nite agh and also my kids were making thurr first reconciliation. Praise God I got out before 8pm, so I was able to see them. They seemed pretty chill bout it, ha like they werent skurred.
I cant believe next weekend is thurr first communion already, sheesh! I gotta go shopping and find something to whuuuur!

One of my other kids on tuesday nite, invited me over to his house on sat. for his birfday purrty. ITs funny cuz his sister was in my class a while back ago, and so was his sponsor. Imma feel kinda awkwurrd going, but I bet thurr gonna have lots of good food thurr! I want to go on another vacation, some whurr to get aaway again. Hawaii was great, the walking down front street errnite. THe big tree out thurr to relax your mind and juss really know wha it means to chill. New york was also tight, goign subway to subway, its juss expensive. I wanna go up norf, and check wha its like up thurr. Who wants to go?!

I discovered some real interesting news tonite. I learned who the new pastor for sPv is suppose to be or is going to be. Obviously, I'm not gonna reveal it on hurr, so if you want to know you can ask, but its gonna cost you! hahaha! Ill juss say this, if the same pastor I heard is really gonna come down to spv, its gonna be great! For a variety of different reasons, but I'll keep taht to myself, unless you want to give me some type of incentive for shurring the info.! haha

I came home and I spent the evening cleaning up stuff in my room. I had taken back home all the stuff that was in my office before. Since my stero hasnt really been working to its full extent, Ive chosen to take out. Wha I ended up putting in its place are all these picture frames. I need a bigger room, in fact we need a bigger house. A two story one, so we can have all this extra room to put all this junk. I need to check up on my bed and see whas going on w/this ikea thingy. Its gonna be a month already! I also need to send in my wedding invitation too, whurrd I put that at now...

Im so glad the weekend is hurr!!

"Jesus I believe in you and I would go to the ends of the earth..."im done, im out God bless!

RIght Here Waiting

"The rosary is said not with the lips alone, muttering Hail Marys one after the other. … For a Christian vocal prayer must spring from the heart, so that while the rosary is said, the mind can enter into contemplation of each one of the mysteries..."

Im really excited for our new Pope, aka the german shepherd, cuz I know GOd has great things in store for the church. Its sad to see though the many catholics out thurr who arent as excited as many of us are. God chose the perfect person to lead the church for His greater glory. Im glad to see that the issues such as women ordinatation, abortion, contraceptives, etc. wont be changing. I guess apparently, one of my sisters instructors said (prior the announcement of the new pope) that if the ratzman becomes pope, its gonna be sad and thurrs gonna be a lot of changes. I dontk now wha the heck shes talking bout, I tell you those liberal professors, trying to posion the mind of young college students, who most are probably searching for the true faith.

THen you have the whole issue of him being a nazi. Its not like he was one of those out thurr killing jew after jew in the concentration camp. Besides that, he really didnt have any choice, either make the stuff or die. At that young of an age as he was, I'd want to live. God planned for this happen for something great to happen in the new Pope. On top of all that, if thurrs one thing JPII constantly emphasized it was forgiveness. All that stuff was in the past, water under the bridge time ot move on.

So I've been really feeinlin that song, 'right hurr waiting' the one remade by monica and 112. Its a pretty tight slow jam, dload when you can. I was searching through myspace tonite, juss browsing. Well I came across this guys page that I went to skool with, so I was checking to see if thurr whurr any new peeps I could add. I came across this girls page who I thought looked cute, so I clicked on it to see. It was true she was cute, ha in fact it caugth my eye that she does, (I think) the same type of work I do, community services. I kept browsing, checking out her blogs juss to see wha she was like. She seems like a real coo person, Christ-centered, yet I dont think shes catholic, it seems like shes either searching or is protestant. She didnt specify on her profile wha religous background she was. Interesting I said to myself...hmm

Work was great cuz it was real chill, bof of my bosess left early for the day. I pretty much juss did nothing really except eat. Thurr was left over vegetable lasagna from the seniors lunch. Then I had this macho nacho my coworker made, so I had food all the day. Then directed the rest of the rec leader wha to do, since I cant really do much cuz I'm on 'light duty.' The day seemed to go pretty fast. This has been my first whole work week in I dont know how many months. Maaan! Praise God tomorrow is thursday, which means the end of the work week for me. yay!

For the past couple of weeks, I've been really tempted to discuss something on hurr. Though, I think it would be best, if I didnt. All I gotta say though, it kinda sucks not being invited; especially when errone is invited. Well no, it doesnt kinda suck, it does suck. ha it's cool though, as much as I'd like to be hurt and bitter, its not worf the energy. I remember something the burr told me a while back ago. He told me I could either do two things, 'throw bread or rocks.' Even though the rocks seems so mnuch more tempting ha as simba's wife said in the Lion King II, 'the past is over, put errthang aside.'

Anyway, I was going through some ol archives and I came across this from a november entry; 'Power is responsibility: It is service, not a privilege.' It came from the feast day of Christ the King and I was reading bout how fr. said in his homily the difference between earthly power and divine power is. You know peter parker's uncle was right, 'with great power, does come great responsbility.' Power something many people look and seek for, yet can be very dangerous. Yet what many people fail to realize that power is responsibility, it's a service you perform to others. To me, thats the ultimate responsibility is how youve used that power. If youre not using that power to help other people, then youve failed. Kinda like superheros in a sense, they use thurr superpowers to help others in any way they can.

Okay well, im rambling and its late. Praise God for a spirit filled nite!

soOO happy its thursday!

"Tell me your secrets, and I'll tell you mine..."im done, im out God bless!

HaPpy BirFdAy Francis!

"The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers..."

How exciting the election of a new pope! I was so excited to hurr the new this morning, its kinda like I didnt want to sleep, I wanted to be awake to hurr all the excitement. I was on my way to skool and when I pulled up to the purking lot, the KOST mentioned something bout white smoke. So then right away I turned on the am dial to hurr the news and then I heard the church bells ring signfying a new pope has been chosen. I was so excited and anxious to hurr who the new pope was, I wanted go home and find out. Agh but I had stupid class...oh why?! THen I tried to text errone and the texts werent going through. Agggh!

Anyway, today is my good friend francis' 23 birfday, consider him one of my closet friends. Ive only known the foo for a good 5 yurrs, but he's real cool. Hes got hardcore ball game and has real talent. I remember when we use to talk online all the time, he'd come up w/the most off the wall comments. THough wha I loved bout him was his passion for God. It was through him I was inspired to get involved w/my church the way he was. It was through him that I got into praise & worship songs and juss loved it. I use to always love going to his church, (he's protestant) juss cuz the hypeness and energy they had. FCFC was tight...Funny thing is that he had wha he called 'church friends' then he had the people he knew outside of church. I wanted church friends too ha and I got them. Anyway, hurrs to francis, happy 23rd meng!

I came across some ol pics that I forgot I had. I was looking through them and it brought back so many memories! This was my first yurr in SH, ahhh yes the memories.

HABEMUS PAPAM!!!

VATICAN CITY (April 19) - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, the Roman Catholic Church's leading hard-liner, was elected the new pope Tuesday in the first conclave of the new millennium. He chose the name Benedict XVI and called himself ''a simple, humble worker.''
Ratzinger, the first German pope in centuries, emerged onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, where he waved to a wildly cheering crowd of tens of thousands and gave his first blessing. Other cardinals clad in their crimson robes came out on other balconies to watch him after one of the fastest papal conclaves of the past century.

''Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord,'' he said after being introduced by Chilean Cardinal Jorge Arturo Medina Estivez.

''The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers,'' the new pope said. ''I entrust myself to your prayers.''

The crowd responded to the 265th pope by chanting ''Benedict! Benedict!''

If the new pope was paying tribute to the last pontiff of that name, it could be interpreted as a bid to soften his image as the Vatican's doctrinal hard-liner.

The Church's Future

Benedict XV, who reigned from 1914 to 1922, was a moderate following Pius X, who had implemented a sharp crackdown against doctrinal ''modernism.'' He reigned during World War I and was credited with settling animosity between traditionalists and modernists, and dreamed of reunion with Orthodox Christians.

Benedict, which comes from the Latin for ''blessing,'' is one of a number of papal names of holy origin such as Clement (''mercy''), Innocent (''hopeful'' as well as ''innocent'') and Pius (''pious'').

Ratzinger turned 78 on Saturday. His age clearly was a factor among cardinals who favored a ''transitional'' pope who could skillfully lead the church as it absorbs John Paul II's legacy, rather than a younger cardinal who could wind up with another long pontificate.

The last pope from a German-speaking land was Victor II, bishop of Eichstatt, who reigned from 1055-57.

On Monday, Ratzinger, who was the powerful dean of the College of Cardinals, used his homily at the Mass dedicated to electing the next pope to warn the faithful about tendencies that he considered dangers to the faith: sects, ideologies like Marxism, liberalism, atheism, agnosticism and relativism - the ideology that there are no absolute truths.

''Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism,'' he said, speaking in Italian. ''Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and 'swept along by every wind of teaching,' looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.

Ratzinger served John Paul II since 1981 as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In that position, he has disciplined church dissidents and upheld church policy against attempts by liberals for reforms.

He had gone into the conclave with the most buzz among two dozen leading candidates. He had impressed many faithful with his stirring homily at the funeral of John Paul II, who died April 2 at age 84.

White smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel and bells tolled earlier to announce the conclave had produced a pope. Flag-waving pilgrims in St. Peter's Square chanted: ''Viva il Papa!'' or ''Long live the pope!''

The bells rang after a confusing smoke signal that Vatican Radio initially suggested was black but then declared was too difficult to call. White smoke is used to announce a pope's election to the world.

It was one of the fastest elections in the past century: Pope Pius XII was elected in 1939 in three ballots on one day, while Pope John Paul I was elected in 1978 in four ballots in one day. The new pope was elected after either four or five ballots over two days.

''It's only been 24 hours, surprising how fast he was elected,'' Vatican Radio said, commenting on how the new pope was elected after just four or five ballots.

After the smoke appeared, pilgrims poured into the square, their eyes fixed on the burgundy-draped balcony. Pilgrims said the rosary as they awaited the name of the new pope and prelates stood on the roof of the Apostolic Palace, watching as the crowd nearly doubled in size.

Niels Hendrich, a 40-year-old salesman from Hamburg, Germany, jumped up and down with joy and called his father on a cell phone. ''Habemus papam!'' he shouted into the phone, using the Latin for: ''We have a pope.''

In the pope's hometown of Traunstein, Germany, a room full of 13-year-old boys at St. Michael's Seminary that Ratzinger attended jumped up and down, cheered and clapped as the news was announced.

''It's fantastic that it's Cardinal Ratzinger. I met him when he was here before and I found him really nice,'' said Lorenz Gradl, 16, who was confirmed by Ratzinger in 2003.

Antoinette Hastings, from Kent Island, Md., rose from her wheelchair, grasping her hands together and crying. She has artificial knees, making it tough to stand.

''I feel blessed, absolutely blessed,'' she said. ''I just wish the rest of my family were here to experience this with me.''

After the bells started to ring, people on the streets of Rome immediately headed from all directions toward Vatican City. Some priests and seminarians in clerical garb were running. Nuns pulled up their long skirts and jogged toward the Vatican. Drivers were honking horns and some people were closing stores early and joining the crowds.

Police immediately tried to direct traffic but to little effect.

Ratzinger succeeds a pope who gained extraordinary popularity over a 26-year pontificate, history's third-longest papacy. Millions mourned him around the world in a tribute to his charisma.

Cardinals had faced a choice over whether to seek an older, skilled administrator who could serve as a ''transitional'' pope while the church absorbs John Paul's legacy, or a younger dynamic pastor and communicator - perhaps from Latin America or elsewhere in the developing world where the church is growing.

While John Paul, a Pole, was elected to challenge the communist system in place in eastern Europe in 1978, Benedict faces new issues: the need for dialogue with Islam, the divisions between the wealthy north and the poor south as well as problems within his own church.

These include the priest sex-abuse scandals that have cost the church millions in settlements in the United States and elsewhere; coping with a chronic shortage of priests and nuns in the West; and halting the stream of people leaving a church indifferent to teachings they no longer find relevant.

Under John Paul, the church's central authority grew, often to dismay of bishops and rank-and-file Catholics around the world.

Pope John XXIII was 77 when he was elected pope in 1958 and viewed as a transitional figure, but he called the Second Vatican Council that revolutionized the church from within and opened up its dialogue with non-Catholics.

Benedict will have to decide whether to keep up the kind of foreign travel that was a hallmark of John Paul's papacy, with his 104 pilgrimages abroad.

I had this really good convo w/my aunt tonite bout juss life and skool. I began to realize how God lets errthang happen for a reason. Anyway, my aunt hasnt finished skool yet, she went to cypress transferred over to csulb and was thurr I dont know how many yurrs. I remember though going to skool w/her. Id sit in the library and do my hw or juss do walk around campus. Most of the time Id end up going to the book store and chatting online. Yeah, I know total online nerd I was.

Anyway, so I told her how I put in my transcripts for dominguez and I'm little worried of getting accepted. To be honest I havent exactly done the greatest academically, these past couple of yurrs. I got lazy and juss got busy doing other things that my priorities got mixed up. Im in that process of trying to get back on that right track. Anyway, in my family many of my cousins have already graduated college, and well some are iin the process of finishing. Though in my family, somehow the topic of education always ends up coming up. Your uncles will sit thurr and ask you how youre doing in skool and blah blah. You know how education is in filipino families.

So we were saying how its so easy for these people to make comments, cuz they dont know wha its like. They think its so easy being able to balance out and divide the different things you have on your plate. Sometimes I feel dumb/embarassed for not being done w/skool yet, let alone not being in a 4 yurr university. Though my aunt was saying, that if she went back to skool right now, it would mean sacrficing a lot of things. Her focus would be geared towards skool and it would mean less attention to her parents and her bf. She told me skool is always thurr, you can go back anytime, people arent always thurr. No, I'm not thinking of quitting skool, if thas wha youre thinking. No, she wasnt implying education isnt important either. I said to her that maybe if my life wasnt as busy as it is now, then I'd be done or close to being done w/skool. She said maybe but then who knows?

I then realized that apparently God planned for it to be this way, for me at least. He wanted me to find Him and really establish that relationship w/Him. To fall in love w/Him and to put my complete trust in His hands. So even though I do regret not doing as well as I know I couldve in skool, I do praise God for the opportunity He gave me to find him all over again. I do often wonder though wha my life wouldve been like if I hadnt met all the friends I have now. Like I said errthang happens for a reason. God knows whas best for us, even if we make unwise decisions, hes thurr to bring us back to that path. Ever since I got sturrted in ministry life, I've loved it and Ive learned so many different thing to re-estalish that relationship w/God. So I guess thas when the whole F.R.O.G. thing comes in, thas wha I gotta be telling myself errday.

soOo sleeepy

"Cupid doesnt lie, but you wont know unless you give him a try..."im done, im out God bless!

Walking in the Light of God

"When one teaches, two learn..."

What a great weekend, it was real busy but it was so much fun. First things first, the answer to the puzzle(from last week) lies directly within this quote. The two things that all those pictures have in common, is teaching and learning. Teaching and learning from one another, always finding ways to learn and be fed. Not one thinking they know all but constantly searching for more ways to share wha they learn with others. To me thas a great gift, cuz it takes someone with real humility to be able to want to learn and then being able to pass it on to others. In each person in those pictures, I've learned something from them. Whether it be something big or something small, they've shared that gift of knowledge w/me and its helped me in other ways. So youre thinking, 'oh whoooo currs'(I know wha youre thinking friend hahaha!), yeah it may not be a big deal to you, but as I was searching through old pics, I juss felt inspired. A picture really does say a thousand words.

Praisefest was great! It was a long evening, but praise God cuz the Holy Spirit truly was in that room. God gave yfc exactly, who they whurr able to handle, praise God for the seeds that whurr planted that night. The smile on each of thurr faces, the wurrm greetings they shurred w/each person who walked in that door. Fantastic I tell ya! Charisse was thurr too, which I was suprised to see. She brought the same guy who she brought to liwanag's spirit rally. He must be the 'irvine' guy, ha the person she brings to all UCI events.

It was cool seeing people who I havent seen in a while too. Particularly the yfc community peeps, they're so funny. The theme fit perfectly w/errthang that went on that nite, the gift of a beautiful struggle. The testmonies really highlighted the grace God gives us when were in doubt. When we think we've had enough or we can't take it anymore, He's right thurr waiting for us. Ready to push along to help us to keep on going. Geez, especially the times when we juss go freakin crazy w/the most diffcult trials and crosses. His grace is truly sufficient for us.

I'm sorry, I'm soo sorry!

This skit was pretty cool, and I'm sure many others felt it too. The struggles of two individuals, who were barely making it. One dealing with a death of a loved one. Something that is never easy to go through. The pain and the hurt, then trying to move on w/life. Wow. THen a young girl who got pregnant by her bf and was contemplating the thought of getting an abortion. The anxiety of telling her bf and then figuring out wha he was gonna say and wha he wanted to do. Praise God though she didnt get it( even though it was only a skit). I remember last yurr getting this text from aela, 'Jesus is the arm that holds us at our weakest; the eye that sees at our darkest; and the heart that will love us at our worst.'

Do Gk!
Eleanor was thurr along with some of other gk777 girls, making a psa for the gk777. Explaining to those wha the mission of gk was and to show how they can help. The whole building houses and creating villages for those poor families in the pi and across the world. They showed a video clip and its humbling to see soo many people giving up thurr own personal lives to help others. To ensure that people who God created and loved so much, have a place to live. Truly defining what the corporal works of mercy are all bout.


Spirit Moving
The grandfinale of praisefest is always the praise & worship session at the end. Very moving and inspiring, it felt great. Its funny how cfc does thurr praise & worship cuz one min. you'll be really feelin a song, and then the next all of sudden errone is clappin it up. The transitions are funny, but I've gotten use to it. Anyway, it was juss fun dancing around, singing, clapping, action songs etc. Thas the kind of stuff that I miss on tues. nites, but it's cool cuz I can get my weekly dose of that on wed. nites. Praise God for the spirit moving! I was feelin it, really the Holy Spirit was truly working through music min. that nite.


Stop!
The Holy spirit was really working through geneneive too that nite. I hadn't seen her in a while, so it was great being able to sit next to her. Anyway, durnig the whole praise & worship session, I could hear the Spirit working through as she sang. It was so amazing her voice, juss like woow! It was like not her voice but the voices of the angels singing w/her, as she was praising God.


El and I
It was funny cuz el and I were in the back talking during intermission. These guys walk into the room from the other side. I was like wow look el those guys arent filipino! Thas cool people who arent filipino and arent part of a ministry either! So turns out later as I had passed by them, they were actually filipino! ha Man I have such bad eyes, I cant see things furr away for anything! In fact even at nite, when I walk into the kitchen or living room I feel so blind. Sometimes I'll even bump into things cuz I cant see!


Liwanag
Ang and I had a great talk before praisefest officially sturrted. It was nice cuz she was whurring 'ralph' my favorite scent on a girl! Anyway, liwanag sang a funeral piece for purrt of the skit. They were the choir for the funeral that was going on. As always they sang great, the Holy Spirit really works through them when they sing. After praisefest was over, I was chillin w/some of them in the front of SSLH. I was telling angie how whenever liwanag performs they always come in walking in a straight line. THen after theyre done performing they walk out in a straight line, kinda like military style. Its like theyre baby ducks in the water or little chicks following the hen.

Michelle & I
It was fun seeing people who I hadnt seen in a while.


yO!
These were some of the first peeps I had met @ campus base. A d0pe set of guys who I never fail to see Christ through.

Gangsta!
Kristel Fama intentionally didnt smile in this picture, I dont know why. Anyway, the praisefest purrty continued at ihop. Carrying on the YFC post praisefest tradition of the new people having to take a taste of a plate mixed w/errthang. Its funny watching people's sour faces when they take a taste. Its whack though when you people who dont want to do it, when errone else did it already.


YFC
This is the picture I wanted to post before that I didnt get till well now. ha It all starts and ends w/community!

Saturday was hella busy, I didnt get home til bout 330 that morning. Then I had to be up and to the church by 730am. Ahh I had a first communion retreat half of the day. Ran into some difficult moments trying to get a dvd playing, but it didnt work. All in all it went pretty smoothly, I juss hope my kids are ready to go. The most difficult part I think is teaching them how to receieve Jesus. First off praise God that they understand the concept of Jesus being in the Eucharist. Second off, you always get kids who dont understand how to take it. They always get the whole whurr to put thurr hands mixed up. Or they freeze and they dnot know wha to say when Father gives them Jesus. At least they understand wha 'amen' means.

Went home and then had to be back at church for confirmation right of acceptance mass. Fr. Breannan had a great homily, well he always does. So he was talking bout how all the readings in the mass deal w/decision making. We go day to day in life making decisions, some easier then others. Though these kids have made the ultimate decision to follow the good shepherd. He went on to describe how many people have made the decision to fall away from the Lord due to the fact they dont agree to the teachings of the church. Yet, were not called to judge them, cuz only God knows whas in thurr hurrts. However those people who walk away from the church tend to say, 'oh im not walking away from God, I juss dont agree w/the teachings of the church.'

Yet wha they dont realize is that Jesus Christ himself established the catholic church. The teachings of the church come directly from Him. He was the one who put the church together and gave the authority to his apostles. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide us along the way. So he sent out a message to the youf tellign them they need to be that light of the world, and the salt of the earf. Then emphasizing how the JPII had a passion for the youf and said they are the future of the church. How the youf have the responsibility of shurring that gospel message w/errone, no outsiders. The Lord depends on the youf as the late JPII once said, 'fear not, follow Christ.'


Confirmation
I was real proud cuz my whole class was thurr, all 30 of them! yay! As you can tell its quite a big class. Never the less, I love these guys and I do my best to support them as well as guide them. They play a big role in my life at this moment, and they inspire me in so many different ways. Im so excited for the confirmation, when they give thurr whole hearted 'yes' to serve God, to go out and be that light in the dark world. I dont know if I could teach confirmation next yurr, after these guys are gone...man its gonna be different.


them boys
We took a grip of pictures after mass, I can only imagine wha confirmation day is gonna look like! One of my student's mom invited me over to hurr house after mass for dinner. I couldnt pass up the opportunity, so I went to eat. It was funny hanging out w/these kids, they crack me up. Ahh high skool boys...ha


Teachers
And these are the people who help motivate and give thurr all to these kids errtues. Its not easy dealing with 25+ hs kids and thurr purrents. Yet these individuals, give thurr own 'yes' to support them and guide them to be the future of the church. Man my red shirt sticks out! ha I was prepurring for pentecost! haha

Caroline and felipe invited me over to thurr house afterwurrds, to chill. It was fun, they've been wanting to show me thurr new house since feb. I liked it, its perfect size, and its nice and cozy. So I hung out w/them and some of thurr family & friends till bout 12am. They showed me thurr wedding video from last yurr, and it was so cute. Ate, drank, and played some games on the 90's. I know my 90's trivia pretty well, at least when it comes to music.

Sunday, I was in Santa Monica all day pretty much for a novena. My cousins lola, on thurr otherside past away on mon. So all weekend long theyve been having the novena prayer, followed by food after. Thrur was so much good food thurr today! They had these baby clams that were real good! I love when you go to a purtty and they have a variety of all this really good food, that you dont whurr to sturrt.

My cousin and her cousin played turrs in heaven on the geetar, it was tight. I had told some people before that when I die, thas gonna my funeral song. Its funny how errone has thurr wedding song planned out, and hurr I have my funeral song. Then they played/sang 'right hurr waiting' afterwurrds cuz it was thurr lola's favorite song.
Then we all boogied on down dancing salsa, merengue, swing, and more. I tried to learn salsa, but I suck! ha

This sucks cuz I dont get any wireless connection from my laptop all day today. I dont know why, but my sister can get it yet I cant. THen my desktop is slooow, so its like aggh!! Anyway, praise God for a great weekend, spent w/tight family and friends. Another busy/crazy week ahead of me, hurrs a rundown of my schedule for this week:

Mon.-Spirit Games meeting @ 7pm in carson

Tues.-Confirmation

Wed.-YFC yay!

Thurs.-First reconciliation w/my kids

Fri.-Deanery 4 young adult meeting

Sat.-Sunny Hills PCN

Sun.-Mass yay!

Agh back to skool and work tomorrow...oh why?!


"Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven..."im done, im out God bless!
