Today is World AIDS Day
HIV is one of the biggest social, economic and health challenges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute.
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This is the virus known to cause AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). If someone is HIV-positive, it means they have been infected with the virus.
A person infected with HIV does not have AIDS until the virus seriously damages their immune system, making them vulnerable to a range of infections, some of which can lead to death.
HIV is transmitted through body fluids in particular blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk, in fact there are only four ways you can become HIV positive.
In 2005, over 3 million people acquired HIV, which means there are now over 40 million people living with HIV and AIDS. Despite best efforts from governments, non-profit organisations and healthcare practitioners around the world, HIV and AIDS is still having huge global impact.
In the UK, there are fewer people dying of AIDS but incidences of HIV in the UK than ever before. With testing and proper treatment, through anti-HIV drugs, many people in the UK are now able to halt or delay the damage caused by HIV.
COUNTDOWN TIL' CHRISTMAS: 24 days!

*sigh* mixed up feelings right now..so many things are on my mind right now i'm not sure where to start..i guess its time to blog. well first of all, its 1:34 and just got off the phone with chris. i'm supposed to study for an hr and then go to bed, but meh.
well midterms, papers and end-of-term projects are all finished, having presented our venture project last week which i think went quite well...now is the time to start studying for those killer FINALS!! as i see it they don't have to be killer..but i've procrastinated enough that as spread out as they are, i'm still gonna end up cramming the night before..
okay so why did i take this job? to get money for christmas..but now that i have it, i need to take some time off...and definitely not working in Toronto next term.its way too stressful and screws up my time so BADLY. i thought it would save alot of problems..not having spending money, helpign out pay for school, letting me go back to toronto and see people, but that didn't really work out..so UH.if they don't let me off, i'm gonna tell them i can't work anymore. pooey. gonan miss that place..working at toyRus is actually really fun, and i don't wanan leave! so many cute kids and funny stuff happens. like this woman just started changing her baby's diaper on the check-out counter. YUP. kinda gross. i wonder where she threw the diaper...
being a girl SUCKS cuz girl's get EMOTIONAL. and its so hard to understand or make anyone else understand even the people who are closest to you..just..i guess..i feel like i'm being pulled so many ways, and i wanna do so many things, and try to make everyone happy but eveyrone knows that's impossible. and then i guess right now this long-distance thing is making everything even harder, and i feel like i'm trapped..i have to do certain things to make this relationship WORK up to YOUR expectations..but i CAN'T do them.
all i can say is...i'm not strong enough..no more tuff-cookie for you.
anyway, i still can't sleep...
so last tuesday 4 plus alex jumped in his car and went back to the T-DOT for PASSION Toronto, which was a concert given by Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, and David Crowder Band. we got there at 3:30ish started lining up, but it wasn't even that crowded..so the concert didn't even start till 7:30...it was good though!..nice bonding time in that 4 hrs of freezing weather. well Passion was amazing...Louie Giglio spoke about the universe, and how God is really much bigger than anything we can imagine..if we can't even imagine how big our own milky way is, much less the universe, we're not even close to imagining how great God--who made everything--is. something that really touched me was the prayer triangles we had..and how God hears us..no matter how small and insignificant we are..and how much we turn away from him. i KNOW he hears us, and cares...and as Louie said we can't expect things to go our way..but God has a plan for us =)
another update on ESL aka. english-second-language team @ Softball Intramurals....we won our first playoff game!! just two more to go till finals! haha we'll show them that chinese people CAN play SOFTBALL.
well not much left to write about..except i have this new obsession (after sudoku) of making snowflakes..yesterday i sat for two hours makign them..and yestrday shannon stayed up till 2!! hilarious girl...yah so here's some pics of me and char's decorated and newly renovated room

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good

Nothing lasts forever

And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect

LOST and FOUND
yay!!! last friday i went down after ccf to get laundry from the dryer and it DISAPPEARED!! thankfully it was found on monday when a guy returned them feeling oh-so-horrible (poor guy) hahahhaa kinda funny though becuase he accidently picked them up thinking they were his girlfriends..o.O. *lesson learned: never trust guys with ur clothes!* so that was my exciting event of the week..
Monday we (ESL: english second language) played our third game and LOST (so that's how it feels to lose, :P)it was raining again boo...but the team we played "Hoopknuckles" were pretty good! their girls were crazy..hit down the line and made double plays and everything! hehe but it was fun! next game next wednesday. praying for no rain...playing in the rain sucks!
hmm last day today..going home tomorrow, studying all friday, fearfest saturday, and coming back sunday morning? maybe...haha..our floor is gonna be playing "CONDOM GOTCHA" with the guys on the floor below us...so what happens is u have to be wearing a condom ON you at all times for a week, either on ur clothes or holding it somehow but visible, and then you try to catch people who aren't wearing them...if u get caught u lose ur condom, and then there are these people with "STDs" who run around and if they catch you u get an STD!! haahhaaa ghetto eh ..lol.i'm playing anyway haha..gonna put it on a string and wear it on my neck. safezones: class, bathroom, sleeping.
anyways, gotta start studying like MAD!! four mid terms next week..ECON is gonna be the hardest--most ppl in our class don't know what the heck the prof's talking about..he talks too fast and its impossible to understand all the material in lecture..but its gonan be on the exam so we're all screwwwedd!!!! its soo hard. BIZ is okay...stock problems are insane though like the solution for a question is three pages long o.O SOC should be pretty easy.and cALC..don't really care anymore its... craptastic.
hmm calc at 12:30---to go or not to go?
i've been drinking coffee like every single morning..kinda bad

EVERYONE is getting married!!
i love weddings so much..there will definitely be TONS coming up in the next year or so...Congrats to Karen & Kelvin, Pam & Cam, Mike & Nadine--so excited. hehe..anyway, it seems like every week going back to T.O. so many things have happened--and time passes by sooo much faster in Waterloo that there isn't time to keep up with everything and everyone..bahh..if i had a wish, i'd wish to be able to be everywhere at once *heeheE* i would soo STALK people! anyway, this weekend i got no work done AGAIN and yes finally learned my lesson to not bring ANY books home..not even ONE. i'm so bad i know it..lol..oh well, made up for that by staying up till 5:30am on monday, and then missing my 8:30 biz class..ended up going today to another one, but jim's class is so much better..i promise i'll go tomorrow. 8:30 class is such a bummer. but one class on thursday and fridays off WAAAY make up for that. =) but i also just found out that theres a 10:00am business class on mondays i can go to instead of mine cuz i don't even have class after mine..geez i'm smart.
anyways, yeah this weekend, spent lotsa time with chris..watched the HOSTAGE--GOOD movie....it was also aaron's 23rd birthday--HAPPY BIRTHDAY..so he had a bbq, which was cool...afterward played poker, and had some fun with ASHIE-BOOBS *bootch*..its a word! it RYHMES WITH SMOOCH?!. hahaa...you crazy gal!! it was fun times...i was soo NOT drunk..lol...but apparantly i love pam x5. *heehee* scarrryy. well, this week went pretty good..gotta finish writing up a business case adn some stock problems and hopefully fiinish them tonight then i have absolutely NOTHIGN to do for the rest of the week..FEd with sarah on thursday? and chris and caleb might come up this week.. *yay* =)
so in general, things are good now! Thanks to those who were really caring...God has definitly sent the awesome-est sweetest people to Laurier =) last wednesday, i did this sharing for LCCF, about what God's purpose was for sending me here, cuz at the beginning i sorta felt pulled both ways (home and uni) and there was just so much to juggle..well, bascially i found that there are 3 other Christian girls on my floor besides me and char, and there has been ALOT of drama on our floor so far. i guess its sorta unavoidable wiht all these girls living together and LESS boys to choose from, or something, but there have been alot of fights. one of the girls asked to be prayed for, and she also wanted to go to church with us--pls pray for her. i really think that God has put a burden on my heart to reach out to them..and that i can try to be a good example of HIM.
ON another note, team ESL is now 2-0!!! *smiles* thanks to drunkeness and humongous downpour. So our second game was yesterday night, but it started raining cats and dogs and most of us didn't think it woudl start POURING liek crazy, but it did, and i didn't have a rain jacket. so i was drenched to the BONE..like it would rain HARD and then drizzle a bit, and then go crazy again, and we coudl barely see the ball. by the end of the game we were happy but WET WET WET AND COLD!! thanks for the FAN who came out. very brave of you. it was freezing. so we won by default cuz they were missing a girl. go ESL!!!
next game: Monday, Oct 24, 10pm, university stadium!!
okay, gotta get back to work now...

FUNNIEST thing happened this morning: piss drunk nikki jumps in bed with char
So me and char have decided to sleep "early" compared to other nights--this is our first night sleeping before 3am after finishing 24 on sunday night/morning. we were SO HOOKED on that show its not even funny! its so tempting to get the 2nd season this weekend, but self-control tells us we'd better wait till after mid-terms and not stupidly screw ourselves over for those...ack! School is starting to pile up..
okay, so back to the most hilarious thing ever..this morning @4:44 our door (which is usually locked) opens, and a drunk nikki (or some crazy person i thought) runs in, yells "i just puked my ass off" and then collapses next to char on her bed!! HAHAHA...char wakes up and turns around to see nikki OUT COLD and almost has a heart attack . lol..she ended up sleeping in nikki's bed. hhaha yes i love the girls on this floor..haha..this morning we woke dani up and all started laughing our heads off @8am till nikki wakes up and realizes she's in the wrong room! anyway, it was the girl's birthday so she got superly duperly intoxicated..and missed her room, and we were conveniently next door =) gonna love this year..
Anyway, this weekend was pretty good..it was awesome actually. i cant' believe how much i've missed home---i live in two different worlds, but have to try to get the best out of both. Ended up getting back pretty late on friday night, so just went to bed..then on saturday morning, went for BRALINNER with Janette @Wimpy's Diner..or brunch..not really dinner..but just to use the term....then Chris came over for a bit...it was the first time seeing him for a few weeks..but it was really really good just to see him again. I guess things are alot better now compared to last week *smiles* chris: i'm keeping u in my prayers. don't forget that i love u
After that, it was Ryan's farewell party because he's going to be doing what he loves--Marine Fisheries Biologist somewhere 2hrs north of Boston. yeah..it was pretty good, it was sorta a guelph-T3C thing..but yeah..it was good, and then we had the emotional scrapbook presentation and picture-taking =) U'LL be MISSED ryan!! Good luck in Boston--see you in a year =) and go fishing again.
Sunday:
went to church and got to see everyone again except adrian boooo. then kevin drove me and char home, and later that night went to Dad's, and then drove to Rosedale for Thanksgiving Dinner with my Stepmom's family =) it was pretty fun.tried to get some reading done but dind't really...the baby kept hitting his head...poor thing itw asn't his day. but anyway..yeah..i realized i really miss my dad and xtded-family...plus the fact i only usualy see them once or twice a month. but yeah..that was cool, i ate some MORE.
Monday: bussed to Chris's and spent the day there. ate some more. watched notebook. did some tax problems. then he came over and we made lasagna!! yummmmm. then char came and we went back to loo....
*sigh* school..seems like i had NO weekend..but i'd have to say it was fun at least..now..gotta catch up on school work!! ahhhhhh!!i have SO MUCh like SUPER DUPER HUMONGOUS mounds of work to do.
* Stock market initial report due friday
* Catch up on alllll readings
* Group Case report

yeah..well this weekend definitly helped with EVERYTHING...and it made me put things in perspective..school, relationships, family...i was so disoriented before..i started school already falling behind, trying to keep up with all the work but still wanting to do so many more things. and then after that i'd just get discouraged and not want to do anything..and wonder why i was even in university...i haven't even been partying at ALL ...no matter what you peopel believe hahahhaa =P i'm not a party animal...not even! this is all gonna be nerded up..!! Well, yeah..gotta thank God in the end...if it wasn't for HIM, i wouldn't be this happy now...and i'm so thankful for the family i have...and the friends i have and even some peopel i've just met here @laurier who are really caring and encouraging =)
kay...gotta go finish tax problems.
done!
So me and char have decided to sleep "early" compared to other nights--this is our first night sleeping before 3am after finishing 24 on sunday night/morning. we were SO HOOKED on that show its not even funny! its so tempting to get the 2nd season this weekend, but self-control tells us we'd better wait till after mid-terms and not stupidly screw ourselves over for those...ack! School is starting to pile up..
okay, so back to the most hilarious thing ever..this morning @4:44 our door (which is usually locked) opens, and a drunk nikki (or some crazy person i thought) runs in, yells "i just puked my ass off" and then collapses next to char on her bed!! HAHAHA...char wakes up and turns around to see nikki OUT COLD and almost has a heart attack . lol..she ended up sleeping in nikki's bed. hhaha yes i love the girls on this floor..haha..this morning we woke dani up and all started laughing our heads off @8am till nikki wakes up and realizes she's in the wrong room! anyway, it was the girl's birthday so she got superly duperly intoxicated..and missed her room, and we were conveniently next door =) gonna love this year..
Anyway, this weekend was pretty good..it was awesome actually. i cant' believe how much i've missed home---i live in two different worlds, but have to try to get the best out of both. Ended up getting back pretty late on friday night, so just went to bed..then on saturday morning, went for BRALINNER with Janette @Wimpy's Diner..or brunch..not really dinner..but just to use the term....then Chris came over for a bit...it was the first time seeing him for a few weeks..but it was really really good just to see him again. I guess things are alot better now compared to last week *smiles* chris: i'm keeping u in my prayers. don't forget that i love u
After that, it was Ryan's farewell party because he's going to be doing what he loves--Marine Fisheries Biologist somewhere 2hrs north of Boston. yeah..it was pretty good, it was sorta a guelph-T3C thing..but yeah..it was good, and then we had the emotional scrapbook presentation and picture-taking =) U'LL be MISSED ryan!! Good luck in Boston--see you in a year =) and go fishing again.
Sunday:
went to church and got to see everyone again except adrian boooo. then kevin drove me and char home, and later that night went to Dad's, and then drove to Rosedale for Thanksgiving Dinner with my Stepmom's family =) it was pretty fun.tried to get some reading done but dind't really...the baby kept hitting his head...poor thing itw asn't his day. but anyway..yeah..i realized i really miss my dad and xtded-family...plus the fact i only usualy see them once or twice a month. but yeah..that was cool, i ate some MORE.
Monday: bussed to Chris's and spent the day there. ate some more. watched notebook. did some tax problems. then he came over and we made lasagna!! yummmmm. then char came and we went back to loo....
*sigh* school..seems like i had NO weekend..but i'd have to say it was fun at least..now..gotta catch up on school work!! ahhhhhh!!i have SO MUCh like SUPER DUPER HUMONGOUS mounds of work to do.
* Stock market initial report due friday

woohoo..time to blog again! wow, i think this is the first time since coming to Waterloo that i've actually been bored! wow...well, just waiting for the lounge to free up so we can watch 24--the AWESOME-est show ever!!! its reallly good..and just starting season one..watched the first two episodes yesterday..and its already become addictive! oh mann..i mean *woman* lol..its good. yeah so some of the women's studies lingo is starting to rub off on me!! A few of us were talking about an activism project that we have to do, and this girl started talking in WS-lingo. like..instead of "oh boy" we say "oh girls" hahahhaaahahaha so funnieeee and so retarded at the same time..only @ws can you talk like that. its actually a VERY interesting (and bird) course to take, especially cuz we're learning about almost every different aspect of women's studies..and NO i'm not gonna become a feminist--but depends what you would consider one. that class gets you thinking! i'm so WOW-ED out after every tutorial hehee very dorky luv it =)
Hmm...okay so this morning team ESL played their first game! and we won! well...seeing as we were playing a fully intoxicated team made it real easy for us...so i guess we sorta had the advantage =) but yeah..tons of fun there! can't wait to play again--softball is FUN. and we play @ university stadium which makes it more exciting!
soc mid-term wasn't bad. it was 75 mc questions but i found it pretty easy..some dude finished in like 15 minutes..lol..anyways, loving uni so much. loving the gals on my floor..gonan try to put some pics up here soon!! =) anwyays..can't wait to go home this weekend....i miss my warm bed..my mommy and sis...and chris...its been a while!

gahh..okay. i'm good
i'll be fine...for the sake of my mother's humongojungo amount of money spent to send me to school....shoot. i will study and do well =)
*sigh* okay so studying is officially OVER for tonight! will finish tomorrow hopefully, before women's cell thing or i won't go. haha..now i have incentive to do work...and if that doesn't work than no softball..and that will work for SURE. hehee our first game is tomorrow actually tuesday morning 12:10am!! meaning MORNING...these intramural schedulers must be insane. but yes..never the less its exciting and hopefully we'll get off to a good start and win! even if we don't it'll be lotsa fun...mann i was so rusty at practice though..at least the weather network.com says it'll be 26tmw or something. this weather is so WACK! i love it :) one day its freezing and everyone's wishing for their winter jacket and the next day walking around in tanktops. yes university life is exciting
anyway..have a sociology mid-term coming up pretty soon, in two days! kinda nervous..but if it doesn't go so well, i can always make up for it :p anyways, this weekend was pretty regular i guess. on saturday, me and sarah went shopping..and took the bus to Fairview Mall. *grins* if you know me u knwo that shopping does MIRACLES..it can make any horribleist day 999999x better. but yeah..it was ltosa fun..got me a new non-digital camera :) and some other stuff.hahah not telling justin. and yes its under $1000. lol..hmm then came back and missed the homecoming game..wow pretty long bus ride though, and lucky for us, this old dude told us that the IXpress doesn't run on saturdays..so we got on the 7. God loves us haha we'd be stranded there forever..
after that..went to the library i think? and then later that night we went to campus pizza and then justin's to eat it and hang out n' stuff and once again i fell asleep on the couch. its just such a COMFY COUCH!!
today, went to CFC in the morning, and then went to the grill for lunch. i'm eating a lot now...kinda gross. loadin' on the frosh 15..but hopefully all the aerobics and jogging and working out that me and char WILL do will cancel it out..hahahaa mmm but yogen fruz is TOO CLOSE to my res...and the dining hall too..and pita shack..
ahhhh!!!! after that me adn sarah went to take a nap...we were supposed to wake up at 3:30 and do work, but ended up sleeping till 5:00 :S then going to the library to study for a bit...got dinner at the pita shack which was pretty DIRTTYTYYY hahaa howard's pita had flies. and then we had to eat them with forks...cuz they kept breaking
kay, gonan sleep now...here you go kevin, updating this for you..prbaboly gonna update everyday now. i will TRY...hope you're still really bored at work :)

*sigh* i dont' know what to do anymore...theres actually NOTHING i can do maybe, but it'd eating at me from the inside out and totally KILLING me. here i am..with midterms and everything going on..trying hard to get studyign done but never getting to it..trying to pretend that i'm happy too..trying to have fun when i'm out with peopel..but nothing works. i can't talk to ANYONE about it, not even you..i can't talk to you about anything that's bothering me now..cuz everything i say and do comes out the wrong way...and then you just push me away...at least you're surrounded by people who love you, while i'm miles away, can't talk to anyone..its KILLING me. yo'ure the last person that i'd wish to be in an argument with, or have be angry at mee..it feels like you're angry at me, too tired to talk, always busy pretending to have fun to even talk, and telling me what to do like i'm always wrong and can't make my own decisions...i didn't do a DAMN thing..
dunno what to do God..help me

Yesterday was alright...went to Sunday School and learned about..uhh..(what did dan talk about?)..oh yeah.spiritual warfare. It was pretty cool. Makes you think about what makes people do the things they do, but what makes us different is that we can fight it. Or we have the will to through HIM...the bible is our "filter" through life and our actions..really made me think! Pretty cool five minute lesson. =) AFter that we went to chinese service cuz eng was cancelled...pretty funny sermon. The speaker had so many emotions on his face while giving the sermon..like his eyes popped out at you and looked pertty scary ahhah...like o.O
After that, went to get pizza with my mom..so random..she felt like eating pizza on saturday night, so we went to PizzaPizza. It was goood. We had the new Bacon Chicken Mushroom Melt which has like a bazillion toppings including sauteed onions..MMMmmMM...so yeah just kinda got to talk to my mom about stuff..she's been asking me alot about "the future" lately, like she just realized i'm growing up. Especially this summer, i feel like i can finally have a relationship with my mom which is good. We haven't fought even once this summer i think...which is amazing compared to before, and after 18 years she actually cares to ask about what's going on in my life. My summer has been happy-ish.

Had fun at frosh connexions today.
Met Sarah, Justin, Alex, Jon, Howard and some other frosh too from Laurier.
Met some people from Mac, Queens, Western, and froshies like me.
Had free BBQ and ate alot. cuz it was free...*smiles*
Found out something that made me sad..and then i decided to read the Bible: I Cor 13...then i remembered that Char/Cat/Sharon got me this New Testament commentary thing that's as thick as a Physics 121 textbook. So i read it and it helped. The last few verses of the chapter showed me what i haven't been doing. It also encouraged me. The kinda love God shows us is unconditional. It's the kind that we all try to live by and show to others but we're human and definitely not perfect---not even close to being able to love like God loves us. But we can try...
These are some exerpts from the I Cor commentary:
13:4 Because love is so important among the believers, Paul described that love in more detail. How does such love look when lived out in the lives of believers? first of all, love is patient, the opposite of being short-tempered. Such love bears with certain annoyances or inconveniences without complaint. It does not lose its temper when provoked. It steadily perseveres.
13:5...Love does not demand its own way.Love looks out for others, seeks their best interests, willingly gives up its own for the sake of another...Love is not irritable, meaning easily angered or touchy...they will not let themselves be easily provoked over disagreements, but they will be able to always respond in a loving manner...Love keeps no record of when it has been wronged. When mistakes are made, love overlooks them and allows believers to continue to serve with the gifts God has given them.
13:7 Paul listed four positive attributes of love. Love never gives up, but willingly protects others. The word in Greek means "cover" or "hide by covering". This does not refer to hiding hurtful sin but to protecting someone from embarrassment, gossip, or any other such harm...Love never loses faith. It is willing to think the best of others. It does not mean that believers must be gullible, trusting everyone; instead, it means that they are willing to think the best as opposed to the worst of others. Love gives the benefit of the doubt. With real love, believers can deal with conflict lovingly. When everyone willingly thinks the best of everyone else, people are freed to be honest and open. Love is always hopeful. Believers who love look forward, not backward. They seek for growth and maturity in the church, knowing that God is working in every person. Love endures through every circumstance. Believers who love are active and stadfast in their faith. they hold on, no matter what difficulties they face. Hardship and pain do not stop love. When believers persevere, they face suffering within the body. They face persecution. They hang on when the going gets tough. They strive to save their marriages despite disappointment, to continue to trust God despite setbacks, and to continue to serve God despite fear or sorrow. when beleivers truly persevere, nothing can stop them.

What happens when you lose a best friend for a while?
You start blogging everyday because talking to no one is the only thing better than not talking to them. does that make any sense? Oh well, who cares...i can't say this is depressing..but i don't know how to feel anymore..if i don't think about it, or see him, i'm FINE. but then...whenever i try to talk, i feel misunderstood...i guess, we both are. and its mostly my fault, but i don't know how much longer i can take this. It's become like an obsession that i have to overcome..i can't live everyday KNOWING that things won't be the same for a long time, which is the reason for those teary nights. *sigh* I dont' even feel liek i can be me anymore..liek my bubble has popped and suddenly what i thought life was.isn't...reality is that people let you down sometimes you're just stuck cuz no one can save you, not even yourself. This is one of those times. I used to think I could always be happy, no matter what crappy thing happened. But for once i can't be happy anymore...everything i've looked forward to might as well not happen. Theres no point in talking about it again, it'll only make it hurt more. Even when i move away, I'll still be thinking of how we would be if this never happened...every day...love hurts..a LOT.
Waiting for you...
Jars of Clay - World's Apart
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
...So steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
on another note...
Nat Drove Me Home TODAY!!!Thankfully Nadine drove most of the way to her house. Thankfully it was only the distance of two main highway exits but on city streets. *phew* scariest 5 minutes of my life. Held onto my seatbelt for dear life and forced myself to stay awake for both of our safety. No way was I falling asleep even though it was 11:30 and my eyes could barely stay open. AHHHHHHHHH!! my first time in her car and her first time driving pretty much anywhere by 'herself' hahaa..and she misses a stop sign!! by the time i yelled STOP SIGN the girl might as well have been in the middle of the four-way stop. and this is what she has to say about it: "oh well, no police car" omigosh!!!! haha..reminds me of my own BAD expericne with stop signs..uhhh which no one needs to know about except those who know.
on even another note...
TODAY was soo eventful i can barely tell it all. First went to volunteer at Daycare, and today we took a walk to the park. 10 two-year olds and a flock of pigeons. imagine what fun!! hehee...but they ARE adorable..crazy loud and incredibly unware that they mess up EVERYTHING..makes them so lovable even though u wanna yell at them soemtimes. After that, took the streetcar to the beach, including my episode of getting lost on the way and walking around downtown for a while till i found Queen Street again. worst sense of direction ever...pretty scary getting lost downtown, cuz the area wwas VERY VERy "GHETTO". However, finding everyone at the beach was fun..played volleyball, softball, tanned a bit, built stuff in teh sand...(castle taht never got finished--girl getting eaten by shark--big hole--and turtle!) and barbequed the whole time!! for 3.50 we got a nice big burger, hot dog, grilled corn and drinks..its alwasy better with more people!! After the beach I met up with Nat and went to the Concert of Prayer for the Underpriveledged "For they shall be fed" or something..yeah..it was alright..=) worship was AWESOME cuz it was led by Gord. hehe..wow God really spoke to those people there though! the speakers were really into passionate about what they talked abuot..spent some time praying for the poor, the world, leaders, etc. ..
anyway..
good night for now!
It's 1pm!

WEDDING CRASHERS = $8 + so jokes + grossifying humour! so friday night, after scrim w/Zoo Cru and some Ultimate Frisbee with Alethia, we were all hungry so off to Wendys/Tims we went. after that, we had nothing to do, so some insane person said 'lets watch Wedding Crashers!' so we went..it was a HIlarious movie..the kind i would never ever let my mom know i watched or tell her it sucked so she doesn't go watch it...*shudders* gave me the creeeps! but yeah..some funny parts, i'm glad it wasn't entirely stupid like Eurotrip...[loving the CRAZY gramma]
movies to see by the end of the summer: Madagascar, Batman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
So i spent sunday night..praying..and crying..which hasn't happened in a while. Yes its so random, but I finally told him something i've been feeling, i guess from the beginning of the summer. But i didn't expect him to take it that way...its hard enough not being able to talk to him about it, when i was finally able to say what i felt..becuase i usually don't. i usually just keep all my feelings inside, and its hurt me in the past, but there are so few people i can really trust now..anyway..the ones who do know...thanks for the advice and the listening ear. I've realized a few things: You can't help feeling a certain way, and even hurting people because of it, but its what you do to act on it that matters...and a friend told me..theres a reason all of this happened and maybe God will show me why in his own way...
to you: i'm sorry...i don't know what else to say but i love you and i'm sorry for hurting u like this

Second post in TWO DAYS. WOW. This means that I have become either extremely intellectual and responsible, or extremely bored out of my mind, and it is probably the latter. also because i'm talking liek this..which makes me think i've been reading too much to try and make myself go to sleep. But then, the book i'm reading (Sloppy Firsts) is getting pretty interesting..its sort of disturbing, but so true..feels like i'm stepping into 'the REAL WORLD' and like..all the kinds of teen dramas you can ever imagine..you're THERE..its pretty sad as well, because even my sister, who's 14, would be just as surprised with it then i am, but i'm starting to sound confusing..if you ever do get curious and read it you'll see what i'm talking about. anyways..i'm starting to babble! i'm jsut taht bored. or maybe not..hehe...my sister and i got a puzzle today! its THE disney one, with allt he characters floating in the sky like stars..some of them are kinda faded like clouds. if you visit TIE-GU *PACIFIC/fob-central* alot you'll know which one..hhahaha or if you're like eric mok and only go there to look in the pink, chinese-character stationary and cute stuff packed stores...=) but i hafta admit puzzles are pretty fun!! me and hannah finished the edges..of our 2000 piece just tonight! they're also very ADDICTIVE...i feel like going to work on it now. but if i dont' sleep soon i'm gonan get sick. again. it already feels like a cold is coming which isn't good!! my house is freezing and i'm wearing pants pjs and a sweater.eeekkk..and its SUMMER!! well, at least theres AC..which is better than no AC.
MISSED THE BEACH yesterday..boourns!!!! At least I got to see Pao before he went back home to 'ohh-la-la' the place that is SO MUCH BETTER than here--land of fun and sun--CALIFORNIA!! its been 3 years since we last saw him, but not much has changed..still the same guy except nerdier looking!! and he looks like a california boy..hahaha..the boy is going to UCLA!!! i will miss him...=P
hmm..just popped into my head something that happened yesterday..as we were on the way driving back from 'LOO, there was this huge black smoke coming towards us but a little off the 401..we saw all tehse flashing lights on teh other side of the highway, where there were like 2 or 3 cars coming through..and then jam packed 401 all the way till where they closed it. When we got to the airport to see some of her friends off, we foudn out about the plane skidding and crashing into the gully. It's a miracle that all 309 people survived..i remember going into the airport adn seeing allt hese medical trucks and stuff, and just thinking about the families of the peopel on the plane who were waiting in the arrivals gate which was right below us. Just being there I was again reminded of how chaotic the world is..how you can never really take anything for granted becasue it can be taken away in a second. how imperfect we are..and then how God loves us anyhow. it's amazing how he saved those people on the plane..even though it burst into flames and was completely destroyed...
okay..i have just figured out what to talk about for dot-com devos on SATURDAY!! YESSS!!! what a cool thing. while blogging too...got two things done at once...
anyways, TODAY was volunteering day #1. went downtown to dundas+parliament..which reminded me of amazing race. in teh middle of what many peopel woudl call a very 'ghetto' neighborhood, theres this nice government children centre called Central Neighborhood House, and theres camps there and a daycare, and it serves as a community centre for the entire area as well. the kids were adorable..mostly helping out with the babies and toddlers, all of which are not diaper trained!! but still the CUTEST kids ever..they are just sweet. not to mention i've always loved babies. which makes it even more fun...hmm i always ask myself why i didn't go into ECE..oh well.
GEN if you read this by tomorrow, or Tonight..just reminding you to bring the PINK sweater!!
CHRIS, WHEN you read this...i miss you! haha after camp we have two whole weeks to hang out..WOW! a whole two weeks! thats 14 days and 336 hours and 20160 minutes.

It's a miracle that all 309 people survived..i remember going into the airport adn seeing allt hese medical trucks and stuff, and just thinking about the families of the peopel on the plane who were waiting in the arrivals gate which was right below us. Just being there I was again reminded of how chaotic the world is..how you can never really take anything for granted becasue it can be taken away in a second. how imperfect we are..and then how God loves us anyhow. it's amazing how he saved those people on the plane..even though it burst into flames and was completely destroyed...
okay..i have just figured out what to talk about for dot-com devos on SATURDAY!! YESSS!!! what a cool thing. while blogging too...got two things done at once...
anyways, TODAY was volunteering day #1. went downtown to dundas+parliament..which reminded me of amazing race. in teh middle of what many peopel woudl call a very 'ghetto' neighborhood, theres this nice government children centre called Central Neighborhood House, and theres camps there and a daycare, and it serves as a community centre for the entire area as well. the kids were adorable..mostly helping out with the babies and toddlers, all of which are not diaper trained!! but still the CUTEST kids ever..they are just sweet. not to mention i've always loved babies. which makes it even more fun...hmm i always ask myself why i didn't go into ECE..oh well.
GEN if you read this by tomorrow, or Tonight..just reminding you to bring the PINK sweater!!
CHRIS, WHEN you read this...i miss you! haha after camp we have two whole weeks to hang out..WOW! a whole two weeks! thats 14 days and 336 hours and 20160 minutes.

Campus tour=pretty boring.
campus tour @laurier=very boring if it wasn't for kevin who tagged along for one hour. at least we got some exercise from walking around the entire campus a few times, which mind you didn't take that long since laurier is the tiniest thing ever! but according to kevin, it's BEA-utiful (compared to waterloo). so basically today was going on a tour of the little LAURIER my future home away from home. it actually wasn't THAT boring..the super-heat wave outside didn't really bug us much...every 2 minutes would be another air conditioned athletic complex, academic building, or residence!! RESIDENCES HAVE AC!! muhhahaha..and they're pretty big and spacious..whcih wont matter, seeing as we won't spend that much time in our rooms probably. who can resist the huge soccer field and tennis courts right behind willison hall? not to mention the newly renovated gym. ahhh!!! *drools* can't wait! hoepfully there will be time for all of this and more..meaning visits to wilfs and turret, which are the on-campus clubs and where i'm hoping to snag a job...shh!! but dont tell my mom. lol....in conclusion, the best part about laurier is the dining hall, FFCo. MARCHE STYLE!!! its soo nice. hmm anyway, so kevin is now a 'pretend' wlu-ER..in the bba program..living in willison..and now i am incredibly excited about going away for university once again....weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
hmm..what else is new? holly and caleb got married yesterday, a happy day and uber-fun night...can't wait to get marrieD!! which won't be anytime soon =( looks so fun. but there will definitely be lots of DANCING!!
[dot]COM's record is currently 3-3..which means we only have 4 games left!!! come out and show ur support at any of our next games...fans are always appreciated, seeing how we don't have many =( so sad..but anyways...softball is by far the best part about this summer. gonna play as much softball as i can before school starts

Finally done high school! that calls for a majorly decriptive and dragging update on my life. well i CAN believe that its all over...after stressful days and sleepless nights of units and struggling to finish, its all OVER! exams weren't even a problem--after getting through 3 years at ward you feel like you can do almost ANYTHING. Grad ceremonies were really exciting and fun! other than the extremely long and boring wait on stage during rehearsal, the luncheon at Starwalk and Grad was awesome...just felt like flying..and this is definitly something funny and encouraging (quoted by valedictorian and a grad present):
"Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street."
-- Dr. SUESS
the friends i've made @ ward..you'll be missed...high school was one of the best experiences ever..went through so many changes but many for good, and hopefully university will be the same and even better! hehehe..gonna be at Laurier next year w/char as my roomie! its gona be UBER fun...our room will be messy but not SMELLY. air freshener is a must. when you can't see the floor, it's time to clean it..or pay someone to.pay will be GOOD too, cuz you'll be doing the laundry also. =D hmmm..yeah excited about next year.not sure if i wanna try out for cheerleading though..its tempting just to go for fun..anyway, this summer is gonna be THE summer!
...after i finish summer school of course...upgrading calc @pope john paul 2.. isn't AS bad as i thought, except its really boring (and EASY)right now which is sorta good..the only bad part is the school itself..it smells, and people (GIRLS) who are 14+ still don't know how to flush toilets!!!! walking through that school everyday makes me glad i went to ward which is at least CLEAN and doesn't smell like...*shudders* whatever. hope i don't get beat up....O.o
So far, summer has been pretty good! i really want to spend time w/high school friends this summer, and everyone else...sooo many people! i know this summer is gonna pass by faster than all the other ones, but its good cuz it means its not gonna be boring. dot-COM is doing pretty well, we won our first two games, and the team is getting better..softball is FUN. so is volleyball. gonna start going w/ash to miliken on mondays for v-ball, and tuesdays at t3c..yesterday's was pretty good, excpet there wre like 40 ppl there so the wait was long even with kings court.
hmm, what else? not sure about plans for the rest of the summer..but definitly some visiting in waterloo, catching up on movies (BATMAN, CELLULAR, WAR OF THE WORLDS, HERBIE, MADAGASCAR, and tons of others), getting a JOB, playing softball (double-play still to come & getting a HOME RUN--if it ever happens. ), amazing race *project T-DOT*, christian's pool party (MUST GO), the BEACH, practicing for my last piano exam ever (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), promiseland camp, alethia camp, softball banquet, mid-season mixer, MOVING IN *snifffs*, and updating this sad, almost-abandoned BLOG and making it not so sad and abanadoned..hahaa. whatever
i'm outta here!! till next time..
"So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!"
