I Love LA!

"If I wish to please God, I must do His Will and not my own..."

STILL IN AWE: Im still in awe of all the events that took place from this past weekend. I look back at the field and its hard to believe that all those people and stuff were there. YOu know, Im really not a 'lets go camping' type of person. Its juss not in me, I have to do the whole shower thing and feel nice and clean before going to sleep. However, sleeping under the stars(kinda) was pretty neat. Looking up for a short time and staring at God's creations is amazing. On top of all that hearing the testimonies of these kids, who maybe some were hesitant of what to expect for the weekend, but came out in the end feeling so hyped up. Its cool how I was able to bond w/some of the kids too on top of that. Holy Family Youth Ministry really does rock! Praise God!

A VISIT: When I was younger and I couldnt drive, I always wanted to juss drive down to LA and juss chill visit my cousins hang out for the day. I couldnt do that cuz I didnt have a car nor licensce to drive. Even after I did, LA seemed like a whole different place then in the OC that it was too skurrry to drive down there. Anyway, now that I'm older I can do it now, its different. So yesterday, I went down and spend the day chillin w/my cousins. It was great day cuz the weather was so perfect. The last time I had gone down there, it was pouring like crazy. Ha I felt like such a tourist out there, went to the boardwalk on venice beach. The beach was real cool despite the real ugly and dirty water. It juss felt great to get away for the day, clear my mind. Every now and then its still hard to believe im jobless. Ha I never really imagined that I'd end up quitting so soon. Yet, there are times when I do miss it, though like I said I feel better now. More relaxed and juss more time to do things that I wanted to do. The best part of the day, was picking up my godson at skool then we went to the park after. He's such a funny kid, maan he's getting bigger and bigger errtime I see him.

THE NEW CLASS: The new season of SRE has begun, with 26 kids in my class. I walked into a whole new classroom, feeling a little sad. I realized it was going to be completely different this year, with new personalities, new names to learn and memorize. However, God has given me a new task at hand, new souls to feed, and plant. So how'd it go? It was different, I have a pretty good mix of guys and girls. THough a lot of guys talk waaay too much already. I tried to come off strict and firm, you know I didnt want them running over me. At the same time I was straight out w/them, telling them they can choose to be here. Explained the importance of mass, explained the importance of their 'yes.' Oh yeah, and the kids arent all predominately filipino either! Now I wont have lumpia and pansit and all that good stuff at my parties! oh why?! There lies an interesting journey ahead.

See you all at holy family tonite!
