One More Thing...

"There is no sin or wrong that gives a man a foretaste of hell in this life as anger and impatience..."

BAD DAY: Work this morning was kinda dumb, in fact it was kind of gay. Funny thing though after I told rob wha had happened he said to me 'agh maaaaaaaaaaan' So this is wha happened and now that I think bout it, it makes no sense. I pull out groups throughout day to do english language development for about 15-20 min. in the morning and then for bout half hour I pull out a group to do math. Well since the beginning of the year I've been using a couple of different rooms on campus. Up until this past month it hasn't been a problem. Recently they hired all these extra instructional assistants like myself and now they decided to cramp all of us in one room. I find it really gay for the following reasons: 1. These kids are so easily distracted they need all the help they can get 2. Whats the point of doing these one on one groups if all thas going to happen is one distraction after another. The stupid lady whos I guess the AP said I dont have an option I can either use one of the two rooms. Besides that its for my own safety cuz I'm a male teacher so it only takes one student to go home and say something. I left her office feeling extremely frustrated to the point where I wanted to quit. What doesnt make sense is were halfway through the year and juss now you're going to make a big deal bout it? Besides that the principal said myself that I could use these rooms. The more that I think bout it now Imma bring it up to the principal tomorrow. I guess I don't work well w/adhering to authority. ha

CUSTOMER SERVICE: At the rectory this afternoon I went off on this lady over the phone form St. Bernards. I tried really hard to keep my coo but goodness I juss had to let it out. Okay so Im putting together this info. query of what the different rates for sacraments such as weddings, funerals, etc. for all our neighboring parishes. Well the first place I called is St. Bernards in bellflower. I asked her bout the cost of weddings, she said she doesn't know that, so I have to contact such and such person. So then I asked for the # and she said it all fast where I had to ask her to repeat it. Then I asked her bout funerals, she told me it was $200. Okay cool, what bout your facilities like the hall. She goes to me, 'I dont know.' I finally said to her, 'You dont know anything!' Then we get into it over the phone cuz I said you know for working at the church I'd expect better customer service. Of course that got her all upset and replied back to me saying I told her she didnt know anything. I told her it was true. It was her tone of voice in the way she said it. She juss said, 'I dont know' it wouldve been different if she said, 'well im not sure but I can check on that for you.' The 'I dont know' made it seem as if it was a bother to check or something. Anyway, so that was my run in during work this afternoon...Im sorry but I dont have patience to put up w/stupid stuff like that.

MYSPACE: The thing that bothers me is when you're trying to check to see if a certain someone is someone you know and their profile is freaking blocked! Agh! That's so stupid! Then why the heck are you on myspace then?! Anyway, the teacher I work with jumped on the bandwagon tonite. Which is kinda funny but scary at the same time. Now I really have to watch what I say about work and errthang else that goes on. Geez...My cousin deleted hers and now she's back on it again. That's another thing that I dont understand why people delete it then a week later come back again?! Anyway, I was going through old pictures this evening and I posted up this old picture from the SH mission trip back in '02. Yeah that was so long ago, and now look errthangs changed. How fast time goes by...

BROKE UP: A couple of weeks ago I emailed del from next phaze asking if it would be possible to see if they could come down and share a testimony w/my confirmation class. I threw in the whole how ryan conferido came out and they really enjoyed it. Tuesday, I finally receive a reply back and for some reason I got all nervous as if it was some type of important letter. So when I opened it, I kinda skimmed through it and he told me that they group broke up. Oh why?! They were pretty d0pe too, that sucks they all went their separate ways. Hopefully they'll get back together by Oktoberfest next year haha otherwise imma have to find some other type of d0pe entertainment.

LENT: I cant believe lent is here already! I decided to give up being lazy. THis means I'm going to go to daily mass errday and make the effort to hit up the gym errday as well. Oh yeah, Im giving up the whole fatty foods. Well at least try and cut back on that whole stuff. I really need to loose weight, however I know it's going to be a real challenge to cut back on what I eat cuz I dont think my body is use to that. Luckily, ever since I've gained weight I can still fit into a size 32 waist, however Id like to get to a 30. There's this book that Ll cool J put together on dieting and loosing weight. I saw it at borders last month I was almost tempted to get it ha Actually I still am tempted to buy it. There were some good tips in the book. This way by the time easter comes, I can look like he did in the 'control myself' video. ha Oh yeah mass tonite at holy fam oh man it was jam packed. They were to the point where they were outdoors almost to the end of the sidewalk handing out communion. Good thing I had my own parking space and didnt have to worry about finding parking! There was this nice lady who helped me save a couple of seats for me before mass. This way I didnt have to end up standing throughout the whole mass and also be able to sit in my pew.


I wish there more holidays coming up!

"Boogie wonderland..."im done, im out God bless!

With a Servant's Heart

"Prayer is the greatest weapon we have and the greatest gift we receive..."

BEGINNINGS: I was actually about to start lost season 2, but then I started to read fred's blog and then the thoughts of wha I was thinking bout earlier reminded me to blog. Last week I was going to go to prayer meeting but then I ended up forgetting. This week, I thought I'd check it out after confirmation was over and so I ended up going. You know its amazing on how small it's gotten, apart of me is kinda sad but I think its all apart of juss growing. In a sense its almost like someone like myself, who was real involved with high skool and the whole extra curricular activities, then when its time to go, it's kinda sad. Anyway, each time now I step into room B in my mind I totally see the past. How the room would overflow, the circle/rows of chairs, music min. in the corner, speakers set-up, mixer on the left hand table w/the overhead projector. Coming up to prayer meeting after confirmation was over. Yeaah, SH are my roots, it really taught me how to pray and get me involved in my faith. I remember the very first time I went up there and this was back in '01 I think? The feeling was soo uncomfortable, then seeing errone's hands raised to air...the whole hugging thing I thought this so isn't my thing. Then a year later I ended up going back to the same place and stuck around. Going through my very first LSS, checking out other catholic communities, creating bonfires, Pentecost picnics...maan how fast time flies. Kinda crazy how things turn out and are different now. I miss the whole charismatic prayer meeting the tongues, prophecies, and the visions. Its always nice to come back home again.

THE DRIVE: I don't think I've ever driven so much until over the weekend. Saturday I had 3 major things to accomplish and I did it all! At the end of the day I was looking at my phone at my calendar and I thought wow whatta day! Driving to lake Elsinore is one hell of a drive, in fact it was a well it sucked. For some reason I didnt think it was going to be THAT far but it turns out it really is THAT far! If I didnt go though it would've sucked, and I had to do it cuz after she is my best friend. When I got there I told heif, I said next time I come out here I'm spending the nite cuz there's no way I'm going to drive back home the same day. Driving back was hard too, I'm juss glad I didnt leave too late. Good thing micah drove out to pomona cuz I dont know if I would've made it. ON the way home I kept falling asleep, I felt bad cuz I didnt talk at all until we were almost back to her house.

AUTOCRAVE: Autocrave was pretty coo, it was in 3 different rooms at the fairplex. Being it was a carshow, I was expecting the typical asian crowd, yet I was surprised cuz it was different. There was a real diverse crowd of people from old to new to asian to mexican to white. Micah and I were going up and down taking pictures of cars to models. There wasn't a whole lot of import models like I was expecting. Maybe I juss had too many expectations for the nite, as if this was something I planned. ha Who I really wanted to see but wasn't there was jerilee! Boo to that! I wanted to take a picture w/her then post it up on myspace w/the caption, 'High school reunions' haha The bboy and bbgirl thing ended earlier then I thought it would. However there were a gang of them there juss feelin' the music and doing their thang. A couple of the guys from sick step were there, I thought maybe ryan would be there but he wasn't. The audiocrave portion was tight, I recorded a couple of the performances. This was a whole concert in itself, dilated peoples were was d0pe and so was visionares. If you cant say love...
FREEDOM WRITERS: I was suppose to go Norco to give a talk but flaked out cuz I realized I wanted to go to confirmation. I feel bad cuz this has been the second time I did this but then after all that driving I did on saturday, the thought of driving up to norco didn't entertain me. Anyway, so we had this real boring panel on vocations tonite, a married couple they do this marriage tutoring for couples planning to get married at sPv, then Fr. Ed, and a sista. Out of all the people there on the panel I think the sista was the most entertaining. She looked 40 but she's really only 23 I think. The married couple started it off and were reading from like a script it was so boring. Agh! Anyway, it gave me time to read up on my kids journals they're supposed to be writing in errday. It's interesting some of the things they reflect on, it brings me back to think of my own hs days. However I think many of them are coming to realize their own blessings-the things God has given them. Which obviously is the whole purpose of the long term assignment. Im real excited to collect them at the end of the year and read through them all.

LENT: Here's an awesome reflection on prayer, to help us get in touch for lent! Here;s something funny too...http://kansascitycatholic.blogspot.com/2007/02/lenten-fare.html

How do you pray?

"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." -- 1 Thes. 5:16-18


There's so much to do when you get into your faith, isn't there?
Step one is to pray.
Step two is to pray more.
Step three involves taking a look at what we are praying for...and changing it, if necessary.

Let's say, for argument sake, that if you're reading this, you pray every day (that's great if you do, and if you don't yet, keep workin' at it) -- so here is the question:
When you pray, for what do you pray?

For more money, less tress, or a better life?
For healing in broken relationships or within families?
For the passing grade, or the cancellation of a test?
For freedom from an addiction?
For the forgiveness of your sins, especially recurring sins?
For protection from evil, good health or a new beginning in your life?
For a boyfriend or girlfriend, a husband or wife, for children or for an end to loneliness?
For God to make clear your vocation and to just "tell you what He wants"?
For God to explain to you why certain things have happened to you?

And when you do pray for yourself, is it to grow in human esteem or in holiness? Do your prayers center around "things" or around personal growth and change?

Ask yourself...

Do you pray for wisdom?
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him." -- James 1:5

Do you pray for courage?
"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the Lord!" -- Psalms 27:14

Do you pray for humility?
"...clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." -- 1 Pet 5:5

Do you pray for faith?
"The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith!' " -- Luke 17:5

Do you pray for mercy?
"...and lifted up their voices and said, 'Jesus, Master, have mercy on us' ". -- Luke 17:13

Do you pray for hunger?
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." -- Matt. 5:6

Do you pray for clarity?
"Then turning to the disciples he said privately, 'Blessed are the eyes which see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.' " -- Luke 10:23-24

Do you pray that you would feel, more powerfully, the Father's love?
"So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." -- 1 Jn 4:16

For each of these prayers form us more into the image and likeness of God and each of these pleas to our Heavenly Father will help us approach those other daily, worldly prayers with greater trust and surrender.

As we enter into Lent, let's really take a look not only at praying "more" but also at praying more like Jesus teaches us to pray, following more closely the direction and advice that He gives us through His Word.


Salvation Given
"Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." -- 1 Thes. 5:16-18


Prayer is the greatest weapon we have and the greatest gift we receive.







Time for lent!!

"And I pray to God He hears you..."im done, im out God bless!

Lost Without You The Remix

"A lamp is not lighted by itself, so the human soul does not give light to itself but calls out to God: " You indeed, O Lord, give light to my lamp..."

COMMON THEME: I think the common theme I've been hearing for the past month is to count your blessings. So much to be grateful and thankful for its amazing all the things I've been blessed with. Fr. Johnny mentioned it again in his homily bout really counting your blessings. The whole beatitudes it's all a matter of 'attitude.' Not only counting your blessings and recognizing them but also sharing them w/others. Jesus is an example of this, coming to us being in poverty, where he could've came to us rich, but yet humbled himself showing us that were not of this world. Being example of Him and not of what the world teaches us. The challenge is asking ourselves, 'what can I share so that my blessings can be multiplied.'

LE CREPERIE: Sunday, I was taken to the Le Creperie w/rem and anna on sunday. We were suppose to go to roscoses cuz anna, who's from texas has never been there but ended up at le crepiere. Oh man the place was real good, I had this la madame that had this triple sandwhich with turkey, cheese, egg. tomatoe, and garlic fries. The best part however was the company, Rem's a real cool person to chill with. Real good conversation bout church stuff and it was one of those conversations that I haven't had w/someone in a long time. Afterwards, she took me to first street where they had a couple of them urban stores. They had some nice dunks there, but maan too expensive! Ended up settling for an LRG shirt, there's this jacket that I want but the past couple of places I've seen it, they only have a size large booo! Anyway, it was real nice afternoon, perfect weather, fantastic food, and juss great company!

COINCIDENCE: I went to mass yesterday, first time I went ot daily mass in a long time. In fact its the first time I went to daily mass at sPv in long time. The first reading was bout Cain and Abel how Cain was jealous of Abel and ended up killing his brother. Later on I realized that tonite's youf group meeting was based on siblings. Ha whatta coincidence! Despite Fr. Antonio's lack of english, his homily was real simple-we're all created in the image and likeness of God, and not to fill out hearts with evil as Cain did. Going to daily mass you get this sense of fulfillment-y0u come out feeling good. I'm thinking of making that my Lenten promise, to make myself physically and spiritually fit during the next 40 days.

HALF DAY: Saturday, I decided to take a half day at work. I've been working so much that I haven't really had a break. In fact the past week I had worked Sunday-Saturday-pretty exhausting. It was real nice being home early on Saturday had the chance to take a nap, to eat lunch, and juss chill. I don't even remember when was the last time I really had a Saturday to myself. Yet my assistant kept calling me, sometimes I wonder why I even hired him. He's been there since October you'd think he'd know what to do already. It can real frustrating sometimes, but I'm learning my lesson. Putting aside personal and business is sometime he still doesn't understand but then again he's young and it's his first real job.

BUSY WEEKEND: I have a real busy weekend ahead, I'm still debating what I'm planning to do for Saturday. I may take Saturday day off or juss go half day again. There's juss so much going on this month and yet I can't believe it's almost over already! Heif's engagement/housewarming party is on Saturday all the way out in lake elsinore. Kind of feel obligated to go cuz well it's my best friend. Yet there's also a funeral, I feel obligated to go to as well. I guess it all depends on what time my cousin is going to go to autocrave. Maybe I can end up doing all three after all. Autocrave is after all from 12pm-12am, I have a feeling I'm going to end up seeing a lot of people I know there.

THE ROOTS: Last Saturday I went to the roots, jill scott, lupe fiasco, and akon concert at the gibson amphitheater. Yeaaaha the concert was crackin! Good stuff! The Roots were crazzy, especially during their entrance they had this whole hmm like southern style jazz. I dont' really know any of their new stuff but it was cool. Akon seemed real short, he sounds the same way in person than he does when he sings. Lupe, well what can I say about him, you know he holds it down! I wasn't too into the whole Jill Scott, so I ended up sitting down for that one. Though the rest of the concert was tight! For some reason apart of me was expecting it to be real ghetto, I was wrong. It would've been d0pe if there was some surprise guest but there wasn't. I want to go to like a john legend concert that'd be freakin awesome! On the way out it started to rain! Good thing we got preferred parking otherwise we would've had a long way to walk!

LESSONS LEARNED: So Ive learned within the past 6 months, not to hire people you're close with to work with you. Especially if you have to be their boss, well okay maybe its okay as long as the person you're hiring is mature enough. Yeah, I thought having someone to work under me would be kinda cool...you know having my own personal assistant. Um Yeah no, not when you've known that person for a long time. Most of the time I get along pretty well w/my assistant but there are times we juss crash cuz he takes advantage of the system. Oh well, I guess juss pray that better times are ahead. We had this long convo bout jobs tonite, he's juss too young and inexperienced to understand how the work world works.

NEW GUY: There's this new guy who recently got hired as long term sub. He's pretty coo guy, juss finished his credential program at CSULB so now he's doing sub work. Most of the skool is filled with female teachers, and not that it's bad but its also nice to have someone of the same sex to talk to. Oh man last year I was the only male in the lounge so I'd end up hearing stories from giving birth to sex to wow juss about how a woman's body works. Yeah it's a real riot at work sometimes. That guy must be some like hardcore health person cuz wow I feel such a fatty compared to what he eats. Usually on Thursdays, we all go out to eat. Today we went to Mc Donalds and he got a salad, water, and a club chicken sandwhich. Eating across from him I felt like a fatty fatty ha Yeah so Im more motivated to go on that lenten diet. Maybe I will pick up that ll book after all ha. Oh yeah then last week, I made friends w/this older filipino man who juss got hired as an aide. Nice guy, he juss came from manila in May so I guess this is his second job. Yay for making new friends at work.

LOST: I rarely watch tv in the evening times cuz Im usually not at home. On top of that I dont have a tv in my room. My parents keeping asking if I want one, but I'd rather not. Then when I do watch tv, it's normally in the afternoon for a good two hours from 1-3pm to watch my soaps ha. Well within the past couple of months there are certain shows I've gotten into. For example the office I love that show! Then Smallville, I like watching that, I spent a whole saturday at work watching all of season 6. Well now I think I'm starting to get into watching Lost now. I dont know wha it is, but the past two episodes have kind of caught my attention. Now it's juss finding and making the time to catch up watching all season 1 and 2, along with the rest of season 3! Good thing there's these long weekends coming up! Its funny cuz we talk bout it at work sometimes, and errone's been offering me their season 1 and 2 dvds to watch.

DISORGANIZED WEDDING: There was this couple who had their rehearsal tonite inside the church...oh man whatta mess. I feel bad for the future groom cuz his future wife is a real snapper! Then they don't even have music for their wedding. Apparently the bride called a couple of people on the wedding musicians and singers list and they never got back to her then she was too busy to follow up w/them. Well first how do you plan to call people the week of your wedding and ask them to play for you. Then how do you get too busy to forget to plan these things out. So then during the practice, a lot of their wedding party seemed missing or wasn't exactly there. All I gotta say, is that on Saturday it's going to be on real interesting wedding. I'll be glad when that wedding is over cuz maaan she's called over and over and over again. On an interesting note, I was trying to book another wedding for this couple and as I was looking over the church calendar the next available day for a wedding isnt until June! How crazy is that! These weddings are getting booked fast!


Lent is coming up!

"Lost without you..."im done, im out God bless!

Blessings

"Whoever is wakeful and prayerful in the night, in this visible darkness he is surrounded by an invisible light..."

CONGRESS: For the past couple of years now I've been going to the Archdiocese of LA congress youf day. Last year was the first year I went w/holy fam, in fact it was kind of funny I was kinda laying a low profile hoping no one from sPv would see me. Anyway, well this year the youf min. wont be cuz well were late on the registration cut off. Part of me was like, 'aww that sucks,' then the other half was like, 'oh well, I have the whole day off so that'd be cool.' Well the more I saw in the sPv bulletin the more I was beginning to ask Wendy to put me on the list. SHe had asked me back after Christmas I think, but I told her I wasn't sure(only cuz I was set on going w/Holy fam). So I've been putting it off asking her to see if there was room, well finally I saw her tonite and I mentioned it to her and well what do you know she put me on the list! So it looks like I'll be going to youf day after all woOo!

WRITING IT DOWN: After being inspired by that movie 'Freedom Writers' I decided to do a similar project with my confirmation students. I bought them all journals and shared w/them that we all have blessings we encounter errday. We also somehow encounter Jesus day by day even if its juss through the smallest thing like the sun shinning etc. Being its too hard to collect and read them on a weekly basis cuz I want them to write in it errday, I told them itd be an ongoing project until May. At the end of confirmation I'll collect all the journals and read them, I'm excited to see juss how much growth that will come out for it, for all of us. These kids could really benefit from an LSS. I miss those days.

OPPORTUNITIES: Often times we get these subs, especially the old retired people who don't always know wha exactly they're doing. Thas when I step in and basically run the class while the sub sits and chills. Yeah, that happened today the old lady was real sweet and nice, but she kinda didn't have a clue how things ran(understandable)so after lunch I ran the whole language lesson on capitalization and narrative text. It's kind of a cool experience running a whole classroom, you really get engaged with the whole learning atmosphere. Sometimes I start to get a little nervous but then it all slowly goes away. Good thing these kids are only third graders, though I wonder what it'd be like in an upper grade classroom. Next month is Read Across America, I can't wait it for that! ANyone interested in coming to my work and reading to kids?

GOING EARLY: The past few days Ive been doing a good job in getting to work on time in the morning. One of my coworkers gotten written up for not being to work on time. Friday, I was real late and the teacher kinda gave me this look when I walked in. I felt really bad and embarrassed, it juss made the morning a little awkward. So I'm trying to make sure I'm there on time cuz well I dont want reported that I'm showing up to work late. Normally, I walk in like 910-915ish when I'm suppose to be there by 9am, but I want to make the effort to actually be there on time in case I have people watching. I'm so glad its the rest of the week are early days.

REALLY GOOD: General Hospital has been really good these past couple of weeks! Oh man it always leaves hanging at the edge of your seat cuz of the whole situation. You have hostages stuck inside a hotel with these gunmen. One of the hostages has already been shot on the side and is in danger of dying. YOu have this metal vault with a code that no one knows except lorenzo thas locked up in the safe that will self destruct in 12 hrs. Watching all the drama made me feel like as if I'm actually there inside the hotel!! Im reallly anxious to see how its all going to turn out! I always end up hanging at the edge of my seat before its over.


I cant find that song!!

"Last night I couldn't even get an answer..."im done, im out God bless!

Filled

"Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife..."

ROUGH DAY: Man sometimes Monday's can juss suck. GOing through the motions of getting back to work again, adjusting to getting yourself in order. Anyway, so I had the roughest afternoon it was juss one thing after the other. I was thinking to myself, 'Well God either the meeting tonite is going to be real fruitful or I dont know...'its been a while since stuff like this happens prior to me giving a talk to preparing for something big. So I left my office for a little bit texted people to juss pray for me, and then sat in front of the Blessed Sacrament begging God to give me the grace to juss get through the rest of the day. Asking for juss something positive to happen between now and the rest of the nite. Well as I always tell Elizabeth God provides and He did as always. He turned a whack afternoon into something positive in the end. I can go to sleep smiling.


Can it be Friday yet?!

"If you're leaving me baby, I just want to know..."im done, im out God bless

Amazing

"Faith seeks understanding..."

FREEDOM WRITERS: Ive been wanting to see this movie for a while, and so I finally got the chance on saturday to go. I walked in having expectations and it was real different from what I had anticipated it to be. Great movie-one of those motivational movies and being that its about education it made it all the better. These kids had nothing, their parents had nothing, and yet they were rich in so many other virtues. Then the teacher herself, oh man, talk bout sacrifice-working 2 other jobs juss so she can do these extra activities to make learning fun for her students. Then on top of all taht her husband decides to leave her and get divorce Which probably out of all of it sucked the most. Yet her strength and determination to help these students strive to acheive goals and make something out of themselves was the fruits of all her hard work. Goes to show how important teachers are and the difference they help make in the lives of soo many people. I hope one day I can do that.

BOOMERS: Wed. I went w/the young adults and we went to boomers, good times. Despite the fact it was closing early, it was tight. Took Fr. Antony and Fr. Vic w/us and they're so much fun to be around. I think it was fun for them juss to get out of their regular environment and have fun. Aela had the hook ups so we didnt have to pay for any of the extra stuff. I wanted to do the rock climbing but they closed it booo. AFterwards some of us all went to el tortio to eat and hang out. Its good to see that the ministry is growing and it's attracting many young adults to step out and join a church ministry or group. Im sure by the end of this year it'll be jam packed full juss how the youf ministry was in the beginning years.

TIME FLYS: I dont even know where the time goes anymore, I look back on my old blog entries and I find it amazing how I made the effort to blog errsingle day. Ha now a days, Im lucky if I end up blogging once a month. Between coming and going with two different jobs its crazier and crazier each moment. I run into people who I haven't talked to in a while and they ask 'what have you been up to?' And I always end up saying, 'oh nothing juss working.' ha Yeah I think Ive been so adjusted to thinking alll I've been doing is working that I forget the other things that have been going on.

BUSY MONTH: This month should be a fun and interesting one, all my saturdays are pretty much booked for the rest of the month. Last nite Reirich, Fred, and I went to check out victoria gardens in rancho before going to mel's house. I had forgotten how big victoria gardens was, but that place has almost errthang you're looking for. Yeah, its a lot better then going to the spectrum, the block, or 3rd street promenate. Too bad it's juss too damn far to go chill at on more often basis. Mel's little kick back was fun, her dog is too cute I juss wanted to take her home. Next weekend is crazy one, I have 3 different events going on besides my normal work. Roots concert, which I'm real excited about going to. Allen's 19th birfday shindig at his house and then my friend amee's from hs 25th birfday thing at some club in hollywood. Then the weekend after taht is my cousin's autocrave show. Yep, it should be one exciting month full of festivities.

BAC K IN IT: I started watching smallville again, well I only watched the whole season 6. I didnt feel like going back and catching with seasons 1-5 ha. Being that I hardly ahve time to watch I end up catching up w/all the shows online through youtube or freeshows. The show that has been really good so far has been General Hospital-oh man! Talk bout exciting! Robin has been shot she may end up dying-theyre all stuck inside Carly's hotel with these men wanting the briefcase. Alcazar had to have immediate surgery for the bullet that had shot him in the head a while ago. Yeaaah...its been intense, Im juss anxious to find out how it's all going to end!

NEW FACES: A couple of my confirmation students have been going to the youf min. meetings on monday evening. It made me feel all good inside, seeing that they've made the effort to come. I had one student who went to the retreat back in December and came back totally loving UTC. Stuff like that is awesome, to see these young people growing into something new, taking a step out and wanting to grow deeper in their fatih. I guess the same with the new faces who've been going to the HFYA. They come in so eager and so open, which I can see them becoming future leaders for the ministries. Praise God the spirit is working and is definitely moving in all these people.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY: The beginning of this month was my one year anniversary here at the rectory. Man how quickly that went by, through all the challenges I made it through. Working here, well not even juss working here but juss being here at the parish I've learned so much. I dont think there's ever a dull moment that passes by here at the rectory. Some of the stories I end up taking home w/me are freaking hilarious. All in all I enjoy what I do, like with errjob it has its ups and downs but I like the people I work with, I love being able juss to give the assistance the people here. Even though I've only been at this parish for a little over year, there's so much I've learned bout the parish life and the parishioners. Holy Family really is one unique parish.

"A Holy Family in every home..."im done, im out GOd bless!
