In God's Hands

"It is a great poverty that a child must die so that you may live as you wish..."

KILLING TIME: Alright so I have plans to go watch the grude 2 at 9:50pm tonite inside the mall, but I figured since the theatres are right across the street from work that I'll just go straight there. Well now I have to kill about 45 min. so I figured I mine as well blog its waay overdue anyway. Good thing there's blocker on websites and I ahve full access to errthang. At my other job, certain sites are blocked like myspace and blogs due to 'adult content.' Funny thing though, I was searching on google this afternoon images and I looked up, 'thizz face' and it showed up haha Anyway, praise God for offices w/internet access woOo!

STARTIN FRESH: A week ago joyce left-oh why?! So the search was on for someone else to be my new secretary ha! THere was one this one guy who my boss was really close in hiring prior to joyce. Then joyce came along and she hired him instead of that other guy. Well she called him back and scheduled a 2nd interview w/him and left it to me to be the interviewer. The whole experience was kinda cool, juss asking him questions bout himself and wha not. Then the most difficult decision was choosing who to hire, my friend or this other guy. I had a hard time trying not to be biast and looking at it through a business aspect, who would fit the best. Yeah, I know its not some type of major business or corporation but still. So it may sound OA, but I couldnt even sleep taht evening cuz of the whole decision put on my lap. After spending time in prayer and reflection I ended up not choosing the guy. However, I am glad with the decision I chose and so far coy is working out pretty well. It'll take him a while to grasp the hang of things, but thas the work life for you. THough I must say I do miss working w/joyce cuz well cmon she knew wha she was doing and was really kind to errone who came in. She had this warm hearted smile that when you see it, you can't help but to smile and feel good inside cuz she's helped brighten up your day.

FESTIVAL: The festival is coming up next week and I dont know why but its as if entertainment has been cursed. Ive had people back out on me left and right, another group juss backed out today! What pisses me off is that I really went out of my way to help get them a spot and then adjusted some of the entertainers so they could perform at the time slot they wanted. Oh well, I guess there's really nothing I can do. At least I have next phaze coming to perform Friday nite, that counts for something! haah Yeah Im pretty excited that they're coming out, I mean how often do you get a group that's becoming mainstream perform? Its almost like when Ryan came to my confirmation class and gave a testimony...yeah that was d0pe! I think it would've been almost perfect if I would've gotten Passion to come out. I did email/myspace and ask but never received a reply boo to passion. Its funny how many of these filipino r & b groups or singers are starting to rise up, maybe they wont ever become as big as diddy or kanye, but at least theyre popular on the world wide web!



CONFIRMATION: There's this confirmation retreat that I so have to find a way to get out for next weekend. Its the first year sPv is taking kids up to the mountains for a retreat and I cant go cuz of festival! oh why?! The kids seem to be real excited cuz they're actually going to be able to get awya from the church grounds and go on a actual retreat. The weird thing is that it's going to be on some YMCA or WMCA camp grounds and not on an actual retreat grounds. Not only am I missing the confirmation retreat next weekend, this weekend Im missing the youf min. guys retreat up in big bear. The weekends are juss getting busier and busier with errminute. I feel like by 10pm I'm already ready to go to bed.

THE DEPARTED WITH A GRUDGE: Last weekend I went to go watch two movies, actually thas the most I've watched a movie in a while. The departed was pretty good, it was long but it was real intense. Its crazy to see all the dirty politics that really goes on in today's society. No wonder people think the government is so corrupt. Im glad at least there was some type of real ending to it, not where you come all the way up to the end for something gay. As for the grudge, it was alright, to me I thought it was scarier than the first one. Too bad that asian guy had to die and buffy's sister also. Obviously they ended with a stupid ending and you know there's going to be a part 3. Why do all scary movies have more than one, nightmare on elm street, halloween, friday the 13th...geez. I dont think Ive ever seen a scary movie that doenst have a sequel to it.

STAY WITH YOU: If there's one r & b singer who I really enjoy it has to be john legend. For some reason today his song 'stay with you' was in my head this afternoon. That guy is like a male alicia keys, writes his songs and sings it on the piano. So anyway, I was listening to the song and wow it's a really good song. One of those songs you can use at a wedding or something. THe song talks bout pretty much staying together, in good times and bad. Not very often you hear now days songs with that convey those type of messages. His new album comes out tomorrow, I already could tell its going to be freakin great! Im going to go cop that at target tomorrow morning before on my way to work.

THE FIVE PEOPLE: That author Mitch, I cant think of his last name, but he wrote that book, 'Tuesday's with Morrie' a real inspirational book. Then he had that other book taht was one of the best sellers, 'The five people you meet in heaven.' Well I watched the movie tonite, well off and on, it was pretty good though, the guy dies after an accident at the carnvial then obviously goes to heaven and meets 5 people. Well each of those 5 people he meets shares with him an important life lessons to learn. I want to watch the movie again when I have more time. IT seems like a good story, perhaps I'll read it someday. Though I do reccommend you read 'Tuesdays with Morrie.' I rented the movie and had my parents watch it before, they really enjoyed it. YOu really do wonder wha heaven is going to be like.

RANDUMBNESS: One of my kids from my class transferred last thurs. and moved to another skool. Supposedly when his uncle moves up north they're moving back to the house and coming back to the skool. I liked the kid too, he was a behavior problem but yet had a lot of potential and was real bright. He had this really unique personality which made him stand out. WHen I first met him I thought he was filipino, but apparently he was tongan. I had never evne heard of that country before until I had met the kid. I guess its like samoan and near that area the whole 'pacific islands' are. Ive been hooked on General Hospital for the past month now, oh man I love that show. Its weird cuz how some people dont want to be 'a couple' for example they dont have an 'official title' cuz maybe one doesnt want to have a significant other, yet juss enjoys hmm the companionship of the other person. However, they pretty much do errthang together as a 'couple' I dont know its weird, doesn't make any sense to me ha. I miss seeing old faces, the get together at the barrios on saturday was fun. After waiting for months for these pictures, Ive finally got my photoshop pics two weeks ago, how excited was I!


Festival this weeekend!

"And I will stay with you, through the ups and downs..."im done, im out God bless!
