AIYA!! I've been blogging less and less everyday!!! =( I'm sorrie, just been really busy with work and forums! hahah!! =) the best way to contact me is through icq! I'm always on that at work. Cause it's just that boring at work! =) Well, it was a tough weekend last weekend. FOUR GAMES in two days!! brutal!! Most of u knwo this story, so you can just stop reading now! ;p heheh! Long story short, this guy slid into me at first base, which really pissed me off cause no one slides to first cause you can overrun, and he slid into the white base. That really got me angry!! And i was stretched out for the catch, and he ran into my leg, and pushed my femur forward, while my hips weren't moving at all. SO then i had to play the rest of the game nad the other two games with a really hurting hip! =( BUt our team pulled through and won all four games. It was great, cause our team really began to play as a team and i'm really proud of the team that we pulled through this weekend!! =) We continually encourage each other ALL the time, and are really growing closer as a team. I'm really beginning to enjoy this team!! Thanks guys!! =)
Right now, i'm aching all over, my hip is really bugging me and i'm afraid that i might have to see a doctor about it really soon =( but even though i have all these pains from sports and stuff, I don't regret playing sports at all!! I don't regret it one bit. Cause of the ministries and the friendships that i've been able to build through my sports, are something that i'll never trade up. The pain that i live with everyday seems like nothing when i see the group growing and i see a ministry happening. So even though i'll be in a wheelchair by the time i'm 50, i would have lived my life to the fullest and i woudl have no regrets! =) YAY!
freaking!! =( I was ALMOST DONE writting a post, and then i clicked something and it was ALL wiped out. And if you've been following up on my posts, they're really long!!! =( BAH!!!!!! I know it's been a while since i've posted, mainly cause i've been busy, but not necessarily doing MORE work, it's more that i've been using my free time to play euchre with my buddy who's in the same situation as me! =) Sorrie guys!
The three days a week meeting thing for the team is going pretty good. Sorrie on tuesday not too many met up, cause it was raining and they didn't really wanna watch a movie (sorrie guys). But yesterday was a big turnout, i think it was the biggest one since the first practice! HAHAH!! impressive!! THANKS guys for your committment! I like this, cause we really get to know each other better by just spending more time together! And if some of you guys couldn't make it out to these practices yet, i really encourage you to do so, so that you can have a chance to really meet the guys and gals that you're playing softball with.
whelps, yesterday after practice we went to a bar called "The Honest Lawyer". It's the first time i've been to a bar since i came back from hamilton (even though i never hit bars in hamilton ever) it's a pretty nice place, with an "L"-shaped pool table, gitz tables, and even a lane of bowling. it's kinda cool and pretty nice. i had my first shot of tequilla last night, and i was fine. it mostly tasted like the lemon and salt, which is good cause lemons are YUMMY! =) And then ken made the observation that tequilla on its own tasted like feet! hahaahah!!! But it's true, without the salt and the lemon, it tastes like feet!! SO dirty! heheh! I also got this "steve's rainbow" (weird i know), and it wasn't that good. TOo much coconut flavour!! YUCKY!! =( So i shared that with my friends instead! hahah! =) Don't get the food there cause it's a rip off! It's not good and not worth it. Dah well, we played gitz, and then got owned by these two guys, and then we left! =)
Tomorrow is the office's corporate day, and it's just a day of bowling, bbq for dinner and games in the evening, WHILE getting paid! =) As fun as the day sounds, i'm only going until the bbq! I dunno, since everyone here is a "FOB", i find it really hard to communicate! And our lifestyles are TOTALLY different! So that makes it even harder to get along. I'm okay with the five minute conversations and joking around with the people, but there is no substance to our conversation. And then it just dies out cause it takes too much effort to try to speak in the other person's lang. At times like this i could say "man, i wish i took chinese school", but i don't think i do. My chinese isn't THAT horrible, and my comprehension of it isn't too bad either. But after working here, i have improved my cantonese, and i am learning to speak it a little more fluently. So that's always a bonus! =) But i will continue to NOT listen to Jay Chow. Sorrie guys who like him! =) That's all for now folks!
Wow, it's been like 5 days (i think) since the last time i posted. That's a LONG TIME man! Not much has happened since then, so i guess that's why i haven't posted anything. Plus, work's been giving me a LOT to do lately, and so i've been doing that. I'm actually starting to WORK for my money now, isn't that swell!? =)
But today has been really slow! =( I've just been aroudn asking peopel for work for a while now, and now that i have something to do, i'm just gonna take my sweet time at doing it! =)
Well this weekend was fun. We had the ETCBC mixer for the three teams, and the CCSA mixer all on the same day. SO that was really exciting! The CITY-WIDE ALL-STARS!! oH babie! We OWNED every game! =) Even the quiz that Will gave us with all these useless sports knowledge questions on it. My prize was the Storm Front poster of Patrick Roy. The poster's nice, but it says "STORM FRONT" in big letters! What is that supposed to mean?!? So i'm not sure if i'm gonna put that up on my wall yet....but oh well! =) So that was a good time of fellowship and really getting to share good times with the kiddies on the other teams! =) Thanks to some of the lions who came out, it was great to see you there, and i'm really glad that you guys came! =)
The CCSA mixer was okay i guess, the speaker was challenging, however, said some questionable things. But i think i got more out of what the speaker said, than what i disagreed with him on. He challenged us and said, "If you are a Christian on your team, then you have a role on the team. You aren't just a player, but you are a leader because you must be an example, and a Christian leader on your team." (i'm paraphrasing btw) ANd he also said "CCSA is not simply two teams playing a game of softball, it's more than just the game. It's a minsitry and we have to view it as a ministry." And i totally agree, bc it is a ministry. People always tell me that there is always a lack of committement in the senior teams because these people have lives and jobs and stuff. BUt i see all those things as an excuse. Because softball is a ministry, and you are doing this for GOD. You are on a team to honour and serve our God, and if you are a christian and on a CCSA team simply to play the game, and have no impact on someone else's life, tHen you mind as well join a community league bc CCSA is about bringing people "home". That's it's MAIN purpose. It's not to win a title, or only to have the most fun, but it's about saving lives. If a team wins the title, but doesn't save any lives, that means nothing. If a team loses every game, but wins ONE LIFE, they, in heaven are the real winners. And ultimately, that's the most important thing.
Yesterday we played the Miracles, and we were playing fine, but then it got rained out. I kinda wanted to play, but then it started showering a lot and i thought, "meh, we'll play when it's nicer, i'd rather not injure anyone on the team." So we called it off! But we're rescheduling. BUT, amazingly enough, our team hung out (a few of us again but that's better than none right?). We had some good times playing PS2! =) And btw boys, you'll never beat me!! =) I ruckussed you guys in DOA!! HAHAHAH! ;p heheeh! =) but thanks for coming over, i'm really glad you did and i hope that we will have a lot more fun times ahead of us! =)
ANyway, that's enough for the day! I hope you guys have a great day, and keep being Blessed by God, and keep focussing on Him! =) God Bless! I'm out!
Sorrie I didn't Blog yesterday. I was planning to, but then the workload from work is increasing and i really have to make sure that i finish the work in time and not piss them off TOO much! =) Besides, not much happened on Monday. After work, Alli, James and Ken came over and we watched "how to lose a guy in 10 days". It's not a bad movie, kinda corny and predictable, and the plot was missing a few transitional scenes, but it was a nice chick flick. But some of the things that were mentioned, were somewhat true, but there's a point to everythign right? Even i was getting annoyed her sometimes! ;p hehe!! But we missed For love or Money 2, and so since we have the convenience of Satellite, we just watched it at Midnight! =)
Anyway, yesterday was good. I got my car deck installed finally (so now my cds don't skip). And it's cool! =) ANd i also had the pleasure of eating lunch with my dad. That was nice cause i don't get to spend too much time with my parents cause i keep going out all the time. PLUS it was a free lunch for me! =D Oh yeah, during work, i decided to listen to 722 again. It was So enlightening cause i was working and really listening to God's truth. Although the message was about breaking free from the bondage of Sexual immorality, it reinforced many important truths as to why we should wait until marriage to have sex. Louie Giglio said that once you've been united in that way, you two are bonded emotionally and physically forever, and will never be free again. There were a lot more truths, and if you are struggling with any sexual immorality, whether it be with another person or just things that you do on your own, i really recommend you listen to the messages. They are very powerful and are really worth listening to.
But last night, after work i finalyl had time to just relax and do my own thing. softball practice was cancelled cause it was raining really hard. And so i stayed home and ate dinner with my parents....which is always nice since i haven't done that in a while. and i had a chance to have a chat wit my parents. So we're at the kitchen table, and my mom is trying to figure out the best type of guy for me to date. It's kinda weird having my mom do something like that cause she's never been that kind of parent. But it was kinda funnie how she was trying to name off these traits that my future guy should have. hahah! =) i wanted to go to the gym, but my mom wanted me to talk more with her, so she didn't really want me to go. But the thing is that my mom made me pay for half of my membership so that would encourage me to go more often, and now that i wanted to go, she didn't want me to go! hehe! =) So i stayed and talked for about 20 mins more, and i'm ilke "mom, i really really wanna go to teh gym". ANd so i did!! What a good workout! =) And that was about it for my day! Came home, watched my CSI and talked on the phone for a bit, and then it was sleepy tiem for me! =) Not much happened.
What a weekend!! Quite the eventful two days! =) Normally i wouldn't blog on a weekend cause i'm TOTALLY busy all day and i'm never home until really late so i usually wait until Monday to write about my weekend. But i was so excited with finding a new housemate and all!
Anyway, we had our softball game vs. Trinity, and it was a little disappointing, but hey i'm sure the team played their best and i have to give them that. We have so much more potential, and i'm really lookign forward to the day that we would actually show it. So thanks for a fun game guys and Trinity Sr. I've really been concerned with the committment of the team though. I would really like to see them come out to more than just the games. That is when the real friendships will build, bc during the games, we don't really get to socialize cause we're all focused on the game. I actually would prefer them to come to these things like our ETCBC mixer (which is this saturday for some of u guys who don't remember) more than actual games. I think the playing softball is SO MUCH MORE than just the games every week or so. The fellowship that you have with one another, and the friendships that you build in that one summer is tremendous. Sometimes we don't realize it, but everytime we talk to someone on the team, everytime we cheer and encourage them or even act in a Godly manner, the purpose/mission for CCSA has been attained. We shouldn't always be viewing softball as simply a game or something to do every week, but more of a ministry. Our mission from God is to "Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." - Matthew 28:19. And i want this to be the goal of the Lions this year, but this comes at a cost. Our time, effort and sometimes even money. But if our actions and sacrifices cause the Kingdom of God to grow, then it's ALL worth it.
Softball aside, congrats to the Lumas on remaining the only undefeated ETCBC team. Really proud of you guys, and I continue to see the friendships grow on that team, and i'm glad that the team was left in such great hands. Good job coaches and governor. =)
But after their game, we went to swiss chalet, and then played a good hour's worth of Hackie Sack in the parking lot, even after swiss chalet has closed. heheh! =) Good times! I'm sorta getting better at the game but i think i still suck at it!! Meh...it takes time and practice right?! Well after that, was when the REAL fun began. I was driving Carter back to Finch, and then i saw Dan, going on the hwy. We started racing a bit for one exit, and exited on Finch. =) We were driving west on Finch, and then i was trying to pass this slow guy, and so i went into the passing lane. But at the same time, this Cavalier did the same thing, but i wasn't going as fast as He'd like and so he started tail-gating me. And i wasn't impressed with that, but i changed out of the lane anyway. we had to stop at a red light anyway, and the guy gave me the evil stare (or the "do you even know how to drive?" stare) so I started getting even more pissed. And then realized that Dan was infront of that car, so that meant that Dan and I were in both lanes. Of course i called him up, told him what happened, and we mutually agreed to piss off that driver. So we took up both lanes, driving 60km/h, and not allowing ANY cars to pass us. The guy started getting SO PISSED and started high beaming Dan, bUt we still went 60. This went on from Leslie all the way to Bayview! hahah!! And then Dan decided to race the guy all the way to Younge, but i got caught behind a really slow car and missed them. But that was GOOD TIMES!!! Yay Dan, we have SO MUCH FUN together!! hahah!! =) And of course, Carter, my car buddy!!! =) YAY! We always have the oddest times in my car together.
That's it for now.....it's payroll day so they have quite a bit of work for me to do, and it's kinda urgent. I wrote this message after i finished all my work too!! =) But more will come in like an hour or so.
PRAISE THE LORD!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!!
OH my GOODNESS!! When all seems to go wrong, God always tells me to shut up and trust Him. Seriously! We've finally found our last housemate!! PRAISE THE LORD!! An hour after getting a letter about res, my buddy Janet saw my blog site (YA BLOGGING! ;p) and found out that we had an extra space in our house. Letting no time go to waste, she messaged me and asked me if we still had space for her. FOR SURE WE DID!! ANd yeah, to make a long story short, SHE'S OUR NEW HOUSEMATE!!! YIPPEEE!!!!! After all that we've been through, we finally have a person to fill that room, and ALL Our stresses are OVER!!! And it'll be GREAT, cause i don't wnat to be one of those people that claim that they will help hte first years get comfy at uni, and never really fulfill that promise (not blaming anyone at all....seriously!), and now i really can!! She'll be my housemate!!! SO excited!! ANd we can start up our FOOD CLUB and rate the boy's cooking!!!!! =D HAHAHAHHA!! YUM!! ;p YaY Janet! ;p
The Oracles won BOTH their games today, CONGRATS TO YOU GUYS :P. And their last game was SO CLOSE....but they pulled through, just like they normally do!! =) Proud of you guys! We had practice afterward and i thought it was going to be a bad one cause it was starting to rain JUST when i got there. GOod thing it was only spitting a bit! =) It was a good turn out (thanks LIONS) and we had a really good practice. I hope we didn't tire anyone out for our game against Trinity!! *knees starting to shake! ={* But i've opened Pandora's Box to Steph wong!! =) We found out that if she were to switch which hand she put the glove on, she could catch it MUCH more comfortably and accurately!! That made me even more exciting!! SO high hopes for her too!!! =) Everyone's improving and i'm really excited!!
TODAY has been a great day!!!! My daddy came back from Florida (on business) safely, and everything's GREAT!!!! Excited for tomorrow, and tired!! So it's time to sleep and have another exciting day tomorrow!! =)
PRAISE GOD FOR EVERYTHING!! =D YAY GOD! ;p
I'm so proud of myself, i went to the gym last night and did like a million crunches!! SHEESH!! I didn't think that i could possibly do that many and not die!!! But it was such a good work out, i really suggest y'all to join a gym with a friend! It's such a good idea cause they can really motivate you to push farther than you normally would if you were by yourself. And you would do exercises that you normally wouldn't do on your own. (btw, thanks for coming to the gym with me herzog. It was good times and we had such a good workout and fun ermm...yeah fun! =) I'll stop there ;p). But yeah, my gym (Extreme Fitness) has this deal that's like 25 bucks a month for two months, and then you can continue if you like, but if you're like me and away at school, then you can sign up for only two months. it's great when u have no obligation to stay! =) YAY! And my gym is really really nice!! Man they really should pay me commission for doing this, i've brought so many people to this gym!! =) hehe.....Hrm.....well that's all i've got so far. That's all i did yesterday. OH WAIT, i went shopping and went to Bedo, where ken was showing me clothes that i should get. i was trying on this chinese lookin shirt and i thought "small, hrm..i'll never fit into that!" But lo and behold, i did, and it was too big!! haha!! somethign wrong with the sizing there eh? i ended up buying this nice shirt that's really pretty. And buying stuff at the dollar store and RW&Co. The dollar store is such a great store!! Everything is SO CHEAP and it's not like really awful stuff. It's like the multipurpose CHEAP STORE!! =) YAY to saving money! =)
Oh this was all after i went car deck shopping cause stupidly, the ACURA cd car decks mess up if you start playing CD-Rs on them. So a note to all you integra drivers, i gave u the warning. It just randomly skips and stuff, it's really really annoying, until you get so frustrated and end up buying a whole new deck. but the stupid decks are so freaking expensive! This guy is like "365 including installation" and there's still tax on top!!!! Of course this is for an mp3/cd deck, but still that's retarded the amount of money that i have to pay in order to play music in my car!! I could simply get a cd deck, but pay like 70 bucks more and you can get an mp3 player. So yeah! *sigh* I'm gonna go with my mom, and see if i can bargain with people to make it cheaper!
OH YEAH! i might go to waterloo today to hit up some sale on gloves. I'm really in need of one of those too!! Cause my glove's a little too flimsy (sorrie adrian, thanks for the 3 year loan! ;p) So i wanna buy a new one, but i don't want a CRAP one, but the good ones are like 100+ Sheesh!! Everythign costs SO MUCH MONEY!!!! I know i'm making it and all, but i can't just keep spending at this rate. I'm not making anything cause i just keep spending all my money!! AIYA!! But yeah, i might be goign to waterloo to that store with will tonight, and i might miss fellowship (bah and it's BIBLE STUDY TOO!! =( ). I missed the last one cause i was sick and now i might miss this one too! =( but it's the only time i can go to the lOO,and visit some people too (like JON and CONRAD) =). But we'll have to see, cause the store might close early, and right now i'm at work, so i can't leave till later. And if that store closes early, then i won't go. (Sorrie guys, i'll have to visit you another day).
Ok that's really all i've got!! Sorries, more updates on monday! =) Tomorrow and Sunday I'm already too busy with softball, and i doubt i'll ahve time, but i'll try! But for sure on monday, when i'm at work!! =D YAY work! Get to update all my pages, and get paid at the same time, and of course learn a couple things here and there! =) But it's data entry...i learn NOTHING! i learn how to type faster on a number pad....and learn how to minimize the number of mistakes that i make. But i stil make em! MEH! =) See ya!
I'm SO TIRED!!!!! I sleep an average of like 5-6 hours a night and really that's not enough. I always find myself really really tired when i get up, and extra tired for work. And then at work, i have a really low attention span cause i'm so tired...but i can't even rest a little cause i sit in an office (the only one in the whole building) that is SO FREAKING BRIGHT!!! Apparently, the guy before me in this office kept complaining that it was too dark in here, and it's extra bright in here. So even if i'm tired, my body will totally stay awake cause of the amount of light in here! SHEESH!! And this office is located right in between everything, and has the BIGGEST window in the world. So everyone walks by, and looks in cause it's so bright in this room. It's so distracting having people look in everytime they walk by! One of the guys here, he's really funnie and sees my window as a plasma tv. And then he'll walk by my office realyl slowly, and make funnie faces as if i were watching tv! =) heheh! So nice!! But i think some people are unhappy that i'm sitting in this office. I think they're a little jealous cause everytime they walk by they look. and it's the same people!!! Sometimes i feel really bad being here, cause pretty much everyone here is higher up then me, but then there's me with my own office and everything. It's like i'm a pawn in this game, where they want to piss off some people, but now piss of others!! Last time, they took the leather chair of a guy they didn't like (or isn't even supposed to have a leather chair, and switched it with mine in the middle of the night and put my cushion on it. The guy was visibly upset, but couldn't say anything cause he lost his chair to the boss' daughter. And for this office, i got this office cause they didn't want the new guy to get his own office bc they didn't want to anger the other higher positioned people who share an office. And so the new guy took my old office, and i'm sitting in this office by myself, just so that people won't complain! SHEESH!! i reap the benefits, but still it makes me feel so bad. I really don't deserve a lot of the treatment that i get here. And some people don't like me because i get things cause i'm my dad's daughter. *sigh* Enough about work!
I just found out from one of my house mates that we can't find another girl for our house. The last potential bailed on us, and now we're struggling to find people to live in that last room. It's bad news guys. Cause that means an extra $1200 for the whole year from us!!! That's a LOT!! So please pray for that cause i'm starting to get stressed out a little! =( And so are my housemates. It's going to be a big load if we can't find another girl!! BAH!!!
I'm just randomly adding in stuff as i experience the day. I just walked into a half wall (divider if you like), and it took some skin off my arm!! =( Bad times guys!! I'm really out of it right now, Good thing i haven't made a mistake yet....that would be really really bad!!
It's really late, and i'm really really tired, but i just wanted to put up an update, since i promised Jon that i would update it every so often. Today, during lunch, i ate something weird, and it started making me feel gross!! I felt as if i had to puke the rest of the day. Anyway, after work, i went SHOPPING!!! Three paychecks, and i've finally started spending the money that i've been making! =) It felt GREAT!!! Markville Mall has some sort of sidewalk sale, and everything is on sale!! It's CRAZY i tells ya! =) After shopping, i played softball with the Oracles and the Lumas. That was kinda fun, i've come to realize that i SUCK at softball!! i'm SO useless on the team, and that is why i am part of the "WEAK LINK club"! =) Pegs and I rule that club! Some have tried to join our exclusive club, but do not have the qualities and do not suck enough to be part of our club. (Sorrie Smo) So i've got a LOT of work to do in that area. After practice, we went to see Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. And i have to admit, that it met my expectations. However, my expectations of that movie were not very high, so i can't comment and tell you whether or not it was a good movie. It was rather entertaining, i suppose, but in their cheasy, corny way. I dunno, if you like movies that require some intelligence to understand, then you won't like this one. Everything is fully laid out for you, and in a relatively dumb way. But i won't bash the movie anymore since alli completely loved it. While we were at Fariview, we saw "SNOW". Remember him? The guy that sang "Informer" (that's the only song i know by him). Apparently, he wanted in at the RAINBOW THEATRES (on a tuesday night) free, but they wouldn't let him in and so he was just leaving and he walked past us. ANd then Dan was like "Yo guys, that's SNOW! Seriously!" And none of us believed him, so he went to fetch him. And well, that was really him, and luckily, i carry my trusty lil digital everywhere we go. So we all got a pic with him. But i can't say that i recognize him at all! heheeh!! but Dan sure got kicks out of it. So that was quite the interesting. Then we went home, and i ate some food, being very careful as to NOT eat greasy food that would upset my stomach even more. Can't eat stuff like KFC (for sure not), and even McDonalds. I dunno..the grease does something to my tummy. Last time i had ONE piece of KFC and my tummy hurt the WHOLE NIGHT!!! But i dunno what's wrong with me. I can eat all the greasy chinese food, but not the fast food stuff. But that's enough about my tummy and the pains that i put it through. Oh....and i ended the day off with a good episode of CSI, that i feel asleep through. It wasn't cause it was boring, it was just that i've been really tired bc bum KEN called me last night at 3 am and totally woke me up. But that's another story! So yeah, and then i decided to update my blog site. SO basically, I wrote my whole day's events within a matter of five minutes. =) Is that a good thing?! I dunno u decide. I'm gonna close up this blog with a beautiful pic of our hero, SNOW! =) Since it's in such a HIGH demand! =)
Lates all!
jo
Whelps! This is my first "BLOG". I really have no idea what a blog is, and i don't even know why i've joined. BUt since Justin told me that i should be part of the "COOL" club and should start a BLOG spot. So here it is!! But my blog is so plain lookin! And i don't know how to update it!!! hAHAH!!! it looks ugly....do i simply use html!?! Cause if i have to, that will take a LONG TIME!!! CRAP! Maybe i'll just steal other people's....hehehe! What a good idea! =) I'm probably going to be updating it a LOT since work is SO BORING all the time, and i really have nothing better to do at work, so it should be updated almost daily. Other than the weekends, cause i don't have time to spend on my computer on weekends, those are SOFTBALL days! =) So here's my first entry, and i know that there will be lots more to come. Thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy reading about the lil things that bug me, or just about my life!
