Summer's Officially Over

"The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind's eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection..."

SCRC WEEKEND: I realized over the weekend that this year has been my 5th year in the renewal and my 5th year going to SCRC. Wow like I always say how fast time flies. I was sharing this w/I think john reyes how my first year at scrc is where I received my first vision, it tripped me out. Anyway, I always end up having a good times at SCRC, meeting cool people, becoming good friends. Erryear at it scrc its like were these people living a bubble all weekend long. Then after the weekend is over its almost like were experiencing the real world for the first time. This year was exceptionally great cuz the talks I went were real inspiring. Last month was all bout coming back to the heart of worship and growing in the faith again. I sorta miss being at a charismatic prayer meeting, it brought back memories of SH on tues. nites. Ahh the good times...

SUMMER '07 IN REVIEW: As tradition as whenever I wrap up the year or wrap the summer I always blog a recap of the events that took place. Sharing the highlights of each month, the ups and the downs. Overall the summer has been good to me, Im already excited to think about next summer and my trip to Australia...oh man the countdown continues! Oh yeah can we juss turn down the temperature please? I was talking to Gary's brother today and he was talking bout the weather up in SF. How sometimes it would rain for a whole two weeks straight...I began to think that I've forgotten what it feels like to rain. Can winter come please so I can wear long sleeves and look f-r-e-s-h? ha

JUNE: Towards the end of the skool year I had some stupid drama that kinda left a scar. And as I go back to work in a couple of days it's a scar that's in the process of being healed still. Tons of birfday celebrations took place. Fred did his annual birfday tour stop again. Anyway, I think the biggest highlight of June was the release of the iPhone. Ahh yes, June 29th was the day that apple swept the world once again. The whole month as they were releasing the commercials the hype of getting it made me want it even more. What a long day that was, in fact I didnt even end up going to work that day. The stupid att & t store in Cerritos totally disappointed my friend and I. I ended up having to go to south coast to pick up the phone...in the end it was all worth it, well for the most part. I was one of the 100000 million foos who stood in line, made friends, and in end copped that iPhone!

JULY: The new fiscal year began, as well as the celebration of tons of birfdays! That first week of July theres always one birfday after the other. One of the youf was celebrating her birfday as well as her graduation in a black and white party. I love dressing up for events like that, especially since I have a lot of dark colors in my closet. Abe's annual luau birfday party at his house was pretty crackin. Its amazes me how fast these kids grow up, I can still meeting this guy back when he was doing youf alpha. July 4th was pretty coo, did the annual fireworks, the release of transformers was crazy! My 25th came and well I didnt really get the surprise birfday party I wanted (kawawa) it was still cool. Dnbs was crackin' despite the fact that I ended up going home sick. Random lunches w/friends doing the whole catch up, ketchup thing was coo. Coy's surprise party at the park, him too I cant believe he's 19. Its like a parent watching their kids grow up ha well kinda. Core retreat up in the mountains was coo, learning and sharing w/the faith w/these kids helping to light the fire for them on the road of faith. Celebrate the one year anniversary of my lolo. I cant believe that was already one year ago, I praise God errday for giving my family the grace to surpass the struggle. Started an 'at risk' program w/one of my padawans. Began the first of many of the WYD Spirituality sessions, sharing w/the participants the importance of having a prayer life. Celebrations of life were throughout the last couple of months. Mikayla turning one, Jaycee and Ruby's baby shower, and then celebrating the life of Kyle, who after battling w/cancer past away. Had our first major WYD Fundraiser as met people at the 'car wash.' Oh yeah that movie Hairspray was freakin awesome!

AUGUST: August had the craziest weather, especially at the end of the month. I dont remember it being this hot in a long time. I know its usually hot but not like blazin hot where its still hot late at nite. Met up w/my 'once a year friend' and we got drinks, chilled, and caught up in irvine. Which reminds me Imma have to do another one of those w/him before he leaves next month. Talk bout new adventure he's going to be leaving for active duty in germany in Oct. Went to another viewing for one of the youf's lola at forest lawn. The second viewing of the summer that I went to. A new idea was brought up on ways to help restart and re-energize your faith. Which was what help inspire me to get back on the blogging train. Went to Rock the Bells concert for the first time and left with sun burns and hives. Heat and a long day does not mix well w/me. That next day felt so long as Car Wash #2 came along. One of my Padawans from up north came down for the week, so, along with the rest of my padawans we had a mini padawan outing. The release of the anticipated disney movie 'High School Musical 2' came out and it was good but corny as expected. Now the musical soundtrack is played out, however I do enjoying singing it and watchin leilani get all excited over it. ha Birfday party for one of the youf at her house, dang felt so old...Superbad was well super explicit, yet it was so funny and good. Im still waiting to watch it w/rob. The summer car washes finally came to an end, which I was extremely thankful for. Bonfire was tight. Im going to be San Lorenzo in the San Lorenzo skit I was asked to help put together. SCRC was crackin' and well there goes the end of summer. :sigh:

GABE BONDOC: Oh yeah to follow up on the Gabe Bondoc story, he sent me over an email the other day. For some reason I got all excited ha dont ask me why. Basically, he lives up north so in order for him to perform he'd have to come down hurr to socali. I told him to give me a call to see if we could work something out. That has yet to happen, for some reason I couldve thought I had seen before that his myspace said he lives in socal. His music is pretty good though I have to admit. Oktoberfest would really be crackin' then if he came down.

BIRFDAY SHOUT OUTS: A quick birfday shout out going to mr. aya. Its funny cuz we didnt start to become close friends until this past year. He's a cool kat with a real cool sense of humor. We have our random talks bout life and girls and errthang else in between. Though we dont chill a lot or frequently, we have our mysapce sessions ha. Anyway, heres to you brah, next year when you turn 21 you can kick it w/the big kats ha! Shakahs brah, shakahs!

FROM HERE: So where to from here? Well let's see work starts in a couple of days, the new skool year begins. Jam night is coming up this friday and ypr is around the corner in 1 week along with SH's LSS. Then there's oktoberfest to really look forward too as well. Ah yes the fun in the fall doesn't stop. Oh yeah I also cant wait to start watching the season premieres of some of my favorite shows. The goal is to get a new laptop before the end of the year as well...my dream is to get a nice new apple macbook pro. Yum that sounds so good right now.

So that closes up the summer!

"Watch Me Crank Dat Soulja Boy..."im done, im out God bless!
