Almost Perfect

"If we possessed every virtue, but lacked humility, those virtues would be without root and would not last..."

BACK TO WORK: Wednesday started the first day of the new skool year, a new class, a new grade, and a new teacher. With one week already down, I feel good so far at least. The first day I saw all my first graders from last year, they all ran up to me hugged me, 'mr. jason! mr. jason!' aww it was too cute. Even though they were a tough bunch of kids I miss them. They kinda grew me by the time the year was over. So I made the jump from 1st to 3rd, instead of hearing, 'look mr. jason!' I'm hearing, 'look mr. fish!' haha it sounds kinda weird, Im still trying to get use to it. It sounds so professional. Since I dont have the regular lunch period like before, the teacher I worked with made a propossal that I can go to first lunch and then during 3rd/4th lunch stay in the class and stay in w/the kids who have to finish work or in rsonality. Yeah so we went to bjs and wow I was already get buzzed by the end of the nite. I asked him wha he thought of the war and talk bout passionate! Half the time I felt like I was hearing blah blah blah since I was buzzing ha! After bjs we walked around the brea promenade for a brief moment then ended up going to some billiards place across from the mall. Played a couple of games of umm I dont even remember the game highs lows and mediums I think it was? So we did that up until like 130am. Then went back to the parking lot and said goodbye, ha Hopefully we chill again soon.

CATCHING UP: Worked all day saturday, watched that movie 'the wild' ha I like disney cartoons about animals cuz its funny. I sat in my office all day hoping that he'd drop off the picture but alas nothign! Its so interesting the different personalities that you come across working at the rectory. I had to call all these registered parishoners telling them bout the postponement of the open house dinner. Half of the people didnt even know wha I was talking bout, anyway one of the guys I called was cracked me up. The conversation went a little something like this check it: Keep in mind this is an older filipino man.

me: Hello?
parishoner: hello?!
me: Hi may I speak to _____?
parishoner: whos dis?
me: Hi my name is jason and im calling from holy fam to let you know that you should be receiving in the mail in the next couple of weeks an invitation to the new open house dinner for new parishoners.
parishoner: wha?! huh?! slow down!
me: Hi im from holy family...
parishoner: Why helloooo holy family! How are you?
me: (laughing) im good how are you?
parishoner: oh im okay my leg kinda hurts right now
me: oh im sorry to hear that...
parishoner: why dont you call yer girlpren to come ober...
me: (laughing) well i wanted to let you knowb out the dinner for new parishoners well be sending out invitations blah blah blah
parishoner: what time of the day is going to be at?
me: oh it's going to be like at 7pm
parishoner: Oh i cant go i cant drive at nite but thanks aanyway
me: oh okay well thank you...bye

yeaah if you didnt think it was funny, then I guess it was one of things where you juss had to be there. I thought it was hilarious! After taking a long nap, went to starbucks w/micah. WE were talking bout how it's getting cooler at nite now. Which means fall is here and winter is on its way, its nice to have at least a small breeze during the day time. I like fall and winter cuz I can dress up and wear long sleeve shirts and jackets again! woOo! AHh yes, it's been so long since cold weather that I forget wha it feels like.

SUNDAY: Went to mass at 11am, it feels like it's been forever since I've gone to mass there. The youf choir is so small now, I wonder why. I like the jumpy our father though, they haven't done that in a while. Fr. Tino's homily was real good, focusing on listening to God, and then proclaiming it. Helped out the young adults pass out fliers after the 930am and 11am masses. Its funny cuz when Im with the young adults it feels like old times, almost like a whole other world then when Im with the youf. Abby and I went to San Perdo for the fpac, the only reason I wanted to go was to see adn talk to next phaze. We kinda got lost at the exit, had a couple of stops but we made it. Parking was crazy! Oh man there were soooooooo many freaknig people it was as if the whole country was at this thing. Anyway, I did accomplish my goal though and met next phaze. Bought a CD, took a picture w/them, and talked business. Soo I really hope they can perform at festival that would be freakin tight.

PATIENCE: That was my weekend, and it was almost perfect minus the pictures that I never got! Ahh I really pray that he calls me tomorrow at least, honestly here I'm freakin dying to get the pictures! :sigh: so hopefully, crossing my fingers that something miracle will happen and well yeaaah I can get my hands on them cool pictures. Oh yeah speaking of pictures, hwo come they still havent updated the scrc site with the pictures from taht weekend? This guy took a picture of me and adrian from liwanag that sunday and none of the pictures from the weeknd is posted yet! Ahhhhh! maybe God really is trying to teach me patience, I suck though when it comes to being patient with waiting for things. I can be patient with most people and kids but when it comes to wanting something and waiting I suck at it.

SEPTEMEBER 11: Its been 5 years since September 11 happened, I can remember that day as if it was juss yesterday. Crazy how fast time flies, micah and I were talking bout how my lolos had seen errthang. From world war II to september 11th, to the creation of the internet maan thas crazy stuff. Watching the whole world trade center movie, makes you feel like as if you were actually there witnessing the tragedy. Anyway check out some of these clips I found on youtube about september 11. Can anyone remember wha they were doing during that time?

CHOOSING HONOR: 5 years ago I found this little I dont know wha you would call it, but this thing written by Elise Wiesel and I found it inspirational. Check it...

Even when faced with
the murderous madness
of criminals, and in the
presence of the silent agony
of their victims,
it is incumbent upon us to
choose between escape and
solidarity, shame, and honor.
The terrorists have
chosen shame
WE CHOOSE HONOR




Praying for pictures!!
