updates

-my hall smells really bad. it smells like really bad body odor. I don’t think it’s body odor though…cause i heard the maid talk to the technician guy. They’re going to fix it, hooray. the bathroom trashcan is full of ants. and some people need to learn to flush the toilet.
-while walking back from class, I saw a white guy wear the wongfu shirt that says “white people can’t understand” (bai ren kan bu dong)

It’s not all about us.

Today’s sermon from church.
Rev. Brent and his wife, Leila were guest speakers today. I love how Brent and his wife have such a loving relationship. You would think that once a couple marries, they”fall” out of love. But those two have date nights every week! How sweet; that’s something I would want to do with my future husband. I want to show my future husband affection and care even when we’re old. I don’t want to be like my parents, who don’t kiss or hug or compliment or thank. I want to be able to constantly thank and show my husband that I love him.

-Americans…we are consumers.
-We consume so much stuff…they’re all excessive.
example: we’re buying a camera…megapixel?brand?shop online or at the store? how much optical zoom? the size of the camera? etc…
-Americans throw out 200,000 tons of food daily
-we consume 200 billion more calories than we need daily…that’s enough to feed 80 million people!
-We have too much to live with, but too little to live for…we have spiritual povert
-People don’t want to die. If I pointed a gun at your head while you were driving, you’d probably open the car door and roll out. Even if you were to break your legs, you would still try to escape. You want to live. We’re so desperate to live…but we don’t know how to live.
-If you died tonight, how sure are you that you would go to heaven?
-If God stood before you and asked “Why should I let you into heaven?”, what would you answer?
-almost everyone answers “because I’m a good person.”
-Know that it’s not about us. We live too much for ourselves.
-We should have one aim: the satisfaction of God
-never confuse significance and prominence. If we cut off our nose, we would still live. If we took out our heart, we would die. Nose and heart…significance and prominence

make a list of desires in these categories;
physical, spiritual, relational, vocational/school, financial
choose three that are most important to you and focus on those things for awhile
i’ll post later with an example of myself.

changing is such a hard thing to do. I feel like I’ll never fully change to be good enough.

I can’t concentrate right now because a million things are crossing through my mind.
What do I do?
Am I pmsing?
Is this for real, for good?

What are you doing?

I feel empty, lost, sad, alone.

I feel..I don’t know what I feel.

Everywhere I turn is a reminder of…

i want a hug. not just any hug. only a certain one will make me happy.

i hope your happy.
but when you cry, you remember the good times you had. and then itmakesyou cry more. damn tears.

monday morning, i woke up at 6:15 to get ready for my 7:00 class.
(what kind of college student has class at 7?!)
came back to my dorm at 8:10 ish
fell back asleep.
woke up at 9:30, opened an eye and decided to continue sleeping. slept til 11:40
I knowingly ditched my 10:00 calc lecture.
I hope I don’t get in the habit of doing that.
Just because I took the course in highschool, doesn’t mean I should not attend class in college.

Fireproof

10/4/08

datee with peter.
went to cue and then ontario mills.
i drove today! yayy i went on freeway. it was scary though especially since this is the first time that i drove freeway so far and in the rain too! but thank you peterrrr for helping me with directions and spending the whole day with me and getting dragged into cue and picking out clothes with me and holding my shopping bags i want to go buy more clothes!

Yesterday (friday), peter and I went to amc to watch fireproof. Fireproof was an awesome movie! I think watching that movie really made me realize how I can’t act on my feelings and how I can’t depend on myself. I think it made me realize alot about a guy’s point of view instead of just what I see all the time. I think both peter and I really needed to watch that movie to realize how we should treat each other and how we can improve to be better for each other. I know there’s alot of things that I need to work on. I really hope that God will work in me and help me be the person that he wants me to be.

I also think that Pastor Mike’s sermon about how you have to treat someone with love by taking the first step and then, that person will respond by love was portrayed throughout the whole movie.

If you guys are in a relationship/hope to be in a relationship/are married/want to be married…basically, EVERYONE should watch the movie. And don’t get turned off by it just because it’s a “christian” movie. It was a great movie, with a great lesson. I liked it just as much as I liked the notebook! Maybe even more

And now I think I am going to order that “love dare” book online. It’s only $8! DD
I want to watch fireproof again. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of watching it.
