The Circle of Life

"A tree is known by its fruits; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."-Saint Basil

BEEN A WHILE: It's been a long time since I've last blogged and for some reason some of the pictures I've posted dont show up anymore. Everytime I want to blog I always get lazy and just end up forgetting about it. The past couple of days I had meaning to blog, but just got too tired to do it. Tonight I decided I needed to sit down and attempt to get it done. Whenever Im asked, 'What have you been up to?' I find it hard to answer. I haven't gone on any trips. Im in good health, I have a job, my family is in good health. Im left to say, 'nothing really.' Im going to attempt to recap on 3 months worth of life, but just to share a couple of reflections.

GETTING OLDER: As you get older, its even crazier to see the people around you get older. For example, I had caught up with a former student the other day. Just recently he had turned 21. What the heck. I cant believe that much time has passed already. When I first started working at Cypress, he was only a senior. Now he's going into his 4th year of college? Of course naturally I do feel old, but its also a great feeling to see how they've grown up. How their personalities have changed and its more about others and less about themselves. I still believe that this generation is all about entitlement, but I do see that changing. For many of them they've learned to 'pay it forward.' Its always a good feeling when they pick up the tab for lunch or pull out their wallet and say, 'I got this.' Yes, getting older sucks, but as I said its enjoyable to see ones that were once 'little' grow up.

REUNIONSANDFULLCIRCLES: Last year I felt it was definitely going to be what Id like to call, 'The Reunion Year' or 'The Reunion Season.' Its kinda that happy moment you get when you watch your favorite show and they reunite for a special broadcast. That's how I've felt like these past couple of months. Back in April I had received one of those 'random messages' on Facebook. Naturally I was kinda shocked being that I hadn't heard or seen this person in a long time. We caught up a little bit through text then caught up some more in person a week later. The funny part is that I had just reconnected through an event I had put together through another mutual blast from the past. Flash forward 3 months now, Im coordinating the wedding mass for another 'blast from the past.' Its time to reconnect with those who were important part of your life at one point. To help refresh my spiritual journey and who knows what else. Ive always been taught God is a God of order, so I know there's a special reason for everything.

INSPIRED: For the past couple of years I've taken a step back from serving in the youth ministry. There was a calling to serve in other capacities in the church. God puts you in places where He feels He needs you most. This past Sunday, the new core leaders had just came back from their weekend Core Retreat. You know that part in the story of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' where it goes, 'Well, in Whoville they say - that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day.' This was the first thing I had thought of when they came back. Not that I was feeling like a 'Grinch' earlier that day, but because the seeds that I planted a long time have grown into beautiful trees. You see back when I was involved with ministry, I was the 'Service Advisor.' Ive always believed that in order for the seed to grow you have to continually water it and take care of it. 3 of the seeds that I planted obviously through God's grace, have grown into trees with fruit. Sunday, I was real inspired to see 3 of them come back to the ministry and become advisors to these youth. God is great. The other great thing is I got to meet the new kid who is stepping into the service core leader position. In my excitement I shared with him his long list of those who came before him. Fr. Raymond is so on point when he says, 'The work of one Pastor is built upon the shoulders of the Pastors who came before him.' Please pray that these leaders will continue to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to lead and direct others to Him. 

"How great, how awesome is He..."im done, im out God bless.

With A Servant's Heart

"To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them..."

GODS PLAN: The other day for some random reason I was reflecting on the past. Its funny how you want one thing for your life and in the end God gives it to you, but in a whole different way. Your life became different then what you had originally planned for. The best part of it all is how God you to something bigger and better. I was fortunate enough to make some really good friends after high school was over. We would hang out pretty much every weekend. The plan was always either go to the Block and watch movie/eat at TGIFRidays or Downtown Disney and eat at ESPN Zone. There were even some Saturday nights I came out so late that waking up for 8am for 915am mass was like an 'oh why?!' moment. All this was cool but then the group kinda drifted. The weekends weren't the same anymore cause some people ended up finding bf/gfs so group time became couple time. At that point the weekends became boring for me. Half of the time there was to look forward to anymore. Its even cause I remember one of my friends telling me he was hanging out w/this 'church friends.' In my head I thought, 'I want church friends or another set of friends too!'

BUILDING COMMUNITY: Last Tuesday at the LoG meeting as we were singing/dancing to action songs, 'Who Builds the Faith,' 'Lualey,' and 'Community,' I had total brief flashback of my life from back in 2002-2003. I also had this huge smile on my face ha. It had been forever since I've sang and danced to action songs. Whenever it was my turn to lead prayer meeting, I always loved choosing those 'hokey pokey' type songs as they were called back in the day. Like I said it lead me to a flashback of my life pre SH days. *cue flashback here*

21XL: I dont remember how, but I found out about a group called, '21XL.' They were an event planning company that were popular for putting out college type of events. Everyone wants that feeling of 'belonging' or being affiliated with a group. I figured getting involved with this company would be a great way to making new friends. Anytime you show up new to something for the first time it's always awkward. I went to a meeting and it was on a Monday night in Cerritos near Gahr High. Sitting there was so uncomfortable for me. Looking at it now I totally didnt even fit in with that group. The guy who was leading the meeting was upset cause one event wasnt promoted well enough. At the end of the meeting I was invited to help promote for some event that weekend I think near LAX. Someone was suppose to call me(I think) and so I ended up not going. I even remember contemplating back and forth whether I should juss drive there or not. Yeah, that totally wasn't where I was called to be.

SERVANTSHEART: In the end up I stopped going to the 21xl Meetings. One Sunday I was online checking out the SH website. I signed the guestbook and the next thing I know the "instant message" box pops up. 'You've received an Instant Message from HvnSntRockr. Would you like to accept?' Back in those days, it always kinda exciting getting an 'IM' from someone that wasn't on your buddy list. 'Hmmm,' I thought. 'I wonder who this is?' I accepted the IM and the person said, 'Hey Jason! Its Mike from Servant's Heart. Thanks for signing the Guest Book!' Wow. As I sat in front of the computer looking at the IM, 'that's kinda cool. I dont even know this guy and he IMs me.' Next thing I know I was being invited to join their skit for this youth rally. Again, joining something new is always a little nerve wrecking in the beginning. However, Im glad I stuck around with this group. Who would've thought that the simple Instant Message would become the start of the foundation of my faith. For a while I was trying hard to find that in a sense 'missing puzzle piece.' When I was trying to do fit in with that other group it was like forcing the puzzle piece that wasn't going to fit. I know it doesn't fit already but Im going to try and force it in. Yeah, that didn't work out at all.

GODS PLAN: Life is all about God's perfect timing and I've learned that time after time again. God knows the recesses of our hearts. He knows what we want and sometimes waiting for it sucks, but He always comes through in the end. Its like when you're a kid on your birthday or Christmas and you get that one gift that you've been asking for. That expression on your face when you first open it and that excitement you feel. This is the probably the same feeling I had felt once I became apart of SH. That Hillsong's song ocean where the chorus says, 'Spirit lead me to trust without borders. Let me walk upon the waters wherever you may lead me.' I also ended up having 'church friends' too which was something I had wanted haha I've learned to how to love my faith and my God so much more. I share this because I know this month is also SH's Anniversary, I dont remember what number it is but the memories God created in that 'Upper Room' will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dancing in September

" This is the job of leaders: to nuture the vineyard with freedom, creativity and hard work..."

THE REUNION SEASON: Earlier this year we had celebrated Elizabeth's 30th. I had coined the #thereunionseason at her little birthday. I had a feeling there was going to be more than one occasion where our group would get together and hangout. Little did I realize #thereunionseason would also mean reconnecting with other people I haven't seen in such a long time. A couple weeks ago Raymond, from LF had messaged me on Facebook randomly. He had invited me to this Seacret presentation in Carson that week. As much as I hate sitting through those 3 level marketing presentations, I thought it would be cool to catch up with them. Im so glad I had went cause it was great catching up with Charisse. For a minute it was a like rush of old memories that had flashed back. In fact last week Raymond ended up hanging out at the Packing House last Thursday night. Earlier this month the Youth Ministry celebrated its 10th Annual YPR. Again, another cause for reunions and celebrations. On top of all that Antoinette celebrated her 30th along with her engagement. #thereunionseason I love it.

GODPROVIDES: All summer long I had been looking for an extra job. The end of summer and the month of September become extra long since Im not working. I can really see how people who get laid become so discouraged with the job market. Day after day I would look on Craigslist throwing out my resume here and there. I was able to go through a couple of interviews, only to be declined in the end. Fast forward to this month and Im in a position where I've been offered two jobs I had applied and interviewed for. Its rough and as I said it gets discouraging, however in the end I know God provides. Trusting God is never easy and something I've always struggle with in my own personal faith journey. I need to remind myself something that St. Pio once said, 'Pray, Hope, and Don't worry.'

STTHERESE: For the past 11 years, after learning so much about St. Therese, I started to have a devotion to her. I always love sharing with others about her simple life. About 6-7 years ago I bought this book, Shower of Heavenly Roses. The book is filled with stories of people who have had answered prayers from St. Therese. Her feast day is October 1st and I started the 9 day novena last week with the novena finishing on her feast day. God never stops to amaze me with just how great He is. On day 3 of the Novena in the hallway at work I had noticed a rose petal on the ground. I picked up and it made me smile as it reminded me of St. Therese. When lunch came around as I was warming up my lunch in the microwave there was a calendar in front of me. The calendar has been there since the beginning of the year and just never thought anything of it. 'Ding,' the microwave goes and as I opened up the microwave I noticed the picture for the month of September. It was a cupcake with a rose frosting decoration on it. I took down the calendar and went through the whole year noticing that only September had the rose cupcake on it. Laughing to myself I knew at once it was St. Therese. As if that wasn't enough, there's a floral dept. at my work. Last week the floral teacher decided to do the 'Duchess Rose' project. The campus was filled all week with students walking around with roses. St. Therese knew exactly what I needed and helped make it happen. 

WYD16: In 2008 I was blessed with the opportunity to go Sydney, Australia and participate in World Youth Day. I remember hearing about World Youth Day back when I first became active in the church. Some people had just came back from Tornto, Canada. Then in 2005 I remember other people from other ministries planning for their trip to Cologne, Germany. It never really dawned on me that I would be able to go myself one day. Then when the idea of going to Sydney, Australia was thrown out, I knew I had to go this time. Although the fundraising, planning, and even at times the trip itself became stressful it was still a eye-opening experience. Thankfully I was able to fundraise $1000 through inkind donations from parishioners. As I always tell students one of the most important lessons in in life is all about networking and who you know. Who you know and what they could do for you can become such a huge advantage to you in life down the line. Anyway, this time Im preparing for WYD 2016. The goal to come up with $4,500 seemed like such an impossible task. Praise God that as of this month I've slowly made a small dent raising $1300 of it on my own. Im praying hopefully in the coming months that in the end I can be able to raise the balance with a little extra. God definitely provides. 

STBERNARDS: Last year I had met this girl who was subbing for a couple of weeks in my room. At the end of the year we said, 'it was nice working with you, good luck, etc.'  Fast forward to this past May, I get a random instagram request from her and she comments on of my pictures to contact her. For the most part I always keep people's numbers unless I know I wont need it anymore. I had texted her and she told me she had been trying to find/search for me a while. She had just got a promotion to become the new Activities Director at the school she was working at and needed help. The funny thing is when we were working together she would always make fun of me cause I always busy with ASB activities. We met up and I gave her ideas and suggestions which ultimately led to me organizing an ASB retreat for her new ASB students. Fast forward to June and it was an amazing, humbling experience. I knew already from the first day it was meant to be as a portrait of St. Therese was hung in their library. To help plan student activities at a catholic high school?! WOW! I was super excited. I get to share my faith as well as teach them how to plan events. Putting that retreat one of for that school was the best start to my summer. Last Saturday I went to their Homecoming and it was so great to see them. A whole different culture them Im usually use to working with, but I love it and I love them. 

OKTOBERFEST: I was sharing tonight how this time of year is kinda exciting. The parish starts slowly transform into 'Oktoberfest' season. The big trucks with the rides come in to the grass, the tents start to get put up, and then the stage is put together. As I was looking at the stage earlier tonight a rush of fond Oktoberfest memories came to me. The year was 2007 and I can clearly remember walking on stage and seeing the tons of people waiting for Passion and Gabe. Literally it felt like being on stage for a concert. I had never seen so many people, mostly all young teens and kids at church like this before. Then as they got on stage the screaming and the yelling of the crowd going crazy. Who would've thought that Holy Family would ended up landing two huge YouTube stars at their festival. Again, God provides. I was super biter cause of the fact Aj Rafael had backed out after agreeing to perform for the festival. He had posted a myspace bulletin trying to find out who was in charge of the entertainment for the festival and then went on to say something to the effect of I wasnt clear with the information. Of course I was so and replied back to the original myspace message where he had agreed to perform. After that whole incident I never cared for the guy and his music. Oh well in the end it worked out cause Passion and Gabe came out instead. Those were some good times back in those days.

Its Been a Long Time Coming

“Any treatment which claims to save human lives, yet is based upon the destruction of human life in its embryonic state, is logically and morally contradictory, as is any production of human embryos for the direct or indirect purpose of experimentation or eventual destruction.”

BEEN A WHILE: Its been five years since I've last touched this website. In fact, everytime I would try to go it was redirecting me to the old tagboard website. I have to say that I was able to remove the tagboard from my blog so it runs properly now. About a week ago I was tagged to start this 5 days, 3 things youre grateful challenge. Highkey, I had been wanting to do something like that but then I felt like I had to be tagged in order to start it. The whole 5 day thing was nice and it brought back memories of blogging. In fact last week I think, I had this whole conversation about blogging. Im actually thankful that blogspot never got shut down. The best advice I received about my blog was to print out my entries and Im glad I did. Hopefully this will inspire me to blog again. Id like to be able to remember certain things that happened in my life.


ALS BUCKET CHALLENGE: The first time I saw the challenge Ill admit I thought it was funny. My initial reaction was, 'I hope I dont get called out to do something like this.' Then I started to read the articles that were associated with the ALS foundation and the whole bucket challenge. A lightbulb flashed and it made me realize how wasteful people were with the water. Of course its fun to throw a bucket of ice water over someone, but not when the state of California is in a serious drought. 


GOOD STEWARDS: If there's one thing I've learned from Fr. Raymond its how to be a good stewards. We don't 'own' anything and for some reason we have this selfish mentality of entitlement. With that being said God has blessed us with land, water, food, etc. we need to take care of it and not waste it. Pope Francis perfectly back in May when he said, 'If we destroy creation, creation will destroy us.' If you put in context if people continue to misuse the water, we wont have any water left. If we dont have any water left, we will die. 


EYEFORANEYE: The other part about ALS that I didnt know about was that it supports and fund embryonic stem cell research. It takes the stem cells of pre-born people to experiment on other people. This was the part that got to me most when I read the article, 'We can't do evil for the sake of some hoped-for the future good. If someone promised you that he might be able to save your life if only you'd let them kill someone else, would you take the offer?'  That statement right there hits home. Personally, for me, the guilt would be so strong that I dont think Id be able to live with myself. Thats what embryonic stem cell research does. 


HYPETRAIN: I remember the hype of that Kony back what was it 2012? Everyone was all over the place with those stupid stickers. In the end we found out the really supported and people were like, 'oh crap!' It seems like in today's society we're quick to hop on the newest 'hypetrain' that ends up leading to 'nowhereville.' I, myself too have been guilty of doing this. At least I try and educate myself before getting real deep into it. People are so gullible about what they read and hear that they're quick to be compassionate and help out with the cause. It's great people want to help out and support, but at least do a little research first. People don't do that though cause they're lazy. 'Ehh it sounds legit. Ill just do it or make a donation.' 


GRATEFULNESS: Im just glad that I have the necessary resources right now. There are people who would love to trade places with us. Yesterday reading about the one guy in New York giving haircuts to the homeless. Wow. To me that's what it's all about. Doing more than just pouring the water over yourself. Let me walk with you not ahead of you. Share with me your story, your life, who you are. The scary part is this is the generation who will be taking care of me when I get older. I really pray for more people like the NY guy. Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 


"One love, one life, one world, one fight." Im done, Im out God bless!

Mission Accomplished

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for..."

BEEN A WHILE: Wow checking my blog, I haven't made an entry since February!! The Spammers have taken over my tagboard and it's become a ghost town on this site. The funny thing is how all of a sudden blogger is making a comeback. I've noticed how people have all of sudden jumped on a blog bandwagon and started a blogger.com account. I guess gone are the days of xangas, live journals, and all those other ones people use to use. Since I really am too lazy to update on a daily basis, I had really hoped to update at least once a month. Apparently that hasn't been happening though ha. So I guess I'll try and attempt to recap what's been going on in my life in the past 4-5 months. Sidenote, firework stands are out which means my birfday is juss around the corner! yay!

ANOTHER CLASS, ANOTHER YEAR: Season 5 or 6 (I can't even manage to keep track anymore) of confirmation ended. This class year was a pretty good set of all around kids. Erryear I always seem to get the class that all went to school together at sPv together. Anyway, I thought it was a good year, created bones with many of the kids and with a lot of the kids from the other classes. At the end of the year, there's always a small group who want to come back and want to be my aide for next year. That makes me smile. Actually this was the first year too that I had gone w/the class on their retreat. Normally I opt not to go cuz of whatever reason, but this year I decided to go and turned out to be a great experience overall. I was kinda surprised cuz I decided to have an 'end of the year' party where they can decide whether to come or not, and majority of the class showed up...that was pretty cool. I'm still trying to discern whether or not I want to come back next year, I guess I'll leave that up to God and see where He wants me. Having Donne there this year too, helped a lot. When you have someone there who knows you and your spirituality makes a difference in the dynamics of the class. On top of that Donne, has grown so much in her own faith that she's juss amazing.

BEING A SPONSOR: So not only did I have to committ to my responsibilities as being a Catacechist at sPv, I had taken the responsibility of being a sponsor for not one, but two kids at holy fam. It was such a rewarding opportunity to walk with them throughout the year and juss guide them. And that is where amazing was happening...

WORK: The great state of California is not so great anymore thanks to mr. govenor and the thousands of people who voted him in, not only once, but twice!!! Now the state is so jacked up that it's probably going to take forever to get it fixed. Now I know it was bad already before he came in but he's juss screwed it up really bad. At the end of March I got my 2nd pink slip stating that as of June 30 I will be layed off. -__- However, I have hope that I'll get rehired back next year being that right before pink slips went out, I was at this two day training on autism. Wow! talk bout intense stuff, but I think it'll help in the long run the hard part is juss applying it all. As much as I dislike the administration for the school district that I work for, it's not like I can juss get up and leave and find something else. Errone is in the same position as I am. Like I said I have hope though, the family of the kid I work with knows my family really well and they love me and on top of all that they're mostly likely going to keep the same schedule as this year.

DEBUTS & WEDDINGS: Ever since January it's been a weddings and debuts. Mark and Abby tied the knott at the end of Februrary. Nice wedding, tons of people, and good times catching up with some old friends. Debuts...well juss one actually ha. Donna finally had her debut in March inside the hall. It turned out to be really nice actually, I wish they had an open bar though that would've been the perfect touch to it all! ha Mark and Abby's had an open bar that was legit! When it comes to open bars, you gotta take advantage of that stuff cuz wha can I say there's nothing like free alcohol! The funny thing about going to these events, is watching these kids grow up. You come to realize when you're a rose at their 18th birfday party that 'dang, I'm old!' On the other side, weddings are so fun to plan. I share w/people that I think weddings are probably the most exciting part about my job. Helping them prepare for this awesome sacrament and seeing them grow as they prepare for it. Now that is a win.

BSA: So I think it was in Janaury I got this random call from this guy who is actually HF parishioner but is a president of this non-profit organization called 'Blind Start of America.' He calls me on afternoon back in January asking if I was down to participate in his organization and compete in this event called 'The World Famous Mud Run' in June. I made my committment and said yes, cuz I felt like I was kinda put on the spot. 5 months later, I look back and realize what a blessing it was to participate in such an extraordinary event. The purpose of the non-profit was to raise awareness for visual impairement. It was another organization to get myself involved in. However I look at it as another way for networking and getting to know more poeple. I feel like in life, you can never get to know enough people out there. What a blessing participating in this event has been. One cool side note, is that I got to meet ABDC season 2 winners, 'Super Cr3w' hhaha as well as Kid Rainen from the Jabawockeez.

FIRST YEAR: In September I started a new position at a new school. With errchange, its always difficult in the begining. A new school, a new staff, a new administration to get use to. As time passed though the new job became a blessing. I slowly adjsuted and was able to get use to the whole new environment. I felt like I went from the ghetto to beverly hills, from the parent involvement, the high test scores, wow it amazed at how smart these kids were. Too bad I didnt get to see the last day of school and had to freakin fracture my leg! oh why?! Though errthang happens for a reason, I guess sooner than later in the summer. It juss sucks not being able to do a whole lot, praise God though I haven't had a whole lot of pain. This to shall pass, juss hope that its real soon!

TWILIGHT SERIES: Wow ! AS of this past month I've gotten sucked into the whole twilight series. I know, I know it seems so dumb to get wrapped up in a vampire-werewolf love story saga but its so good! I love the way the author juss describes errthang bout each character. Reading about each one and how much detail there is to each story makes hard to put the book down. In fact a lot of my parents at work was sharing w/me how they couldn't put the book down themselves. They were so addicted to it and they were sharing how emotionally connected you can get to each of the characters as if you're there in the story yourself. If you're looking for a summer book to keep you busy, then I would recommend the 'Twilight' series. That whole 4 story saga is a win.

WRAP UP: Wow, that was a lot to catch up on. Who knows if anyone reads this blog anymore, despite my lack of updates I dont want to shut it down. Too much good memories and stuff that I've shared over the years. Hopefully Ill get to update something again real soon, maybe after when I get my stupid cast off and I can walk again. Oh yeah I've also watched a lot of good movies as of lately too. Taking of Pelam 123, UP, The Hangover, Terminiator Salvation, Night at the Musuem 2, and soo much more. I think I've watched almost all the major hits that have come out so far. Speaking of movies, I can't wait till New Moon comes out in November. That one will be a win for sure!

Daydreamin'

"The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you, you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any jobs; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no-' they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.' "

ANSWERED PRAYER: It's funny since week St. Therese seems to have come back in a sense. Here's a story for all of you. At end of last month the Confirmation coordinator's wife at holy family past away suddenly of a heartache. In fact the sad part was a couple of days before she past away, they had just celebrated her birfday. Anyway, I guess after she past he was a feeling a little sad and depressed. Well like myself, he has a devotion to St. Therese. So one nite he was praying to her asking her to let him know if his wife was alright and if she was in heaven. In his prayer he specficially asked for a white rose. He goes about doing this normal routine he comes back and there next to his bed on his desk was a white rose!! Alright so thas one story and here's another one. Im helping out a friend of mine put together a show for OLF. Well when he got the approval to go through w/the plans for the show the condition the principal wants it at the beginning of April. Wow! we all thought, freakin' april is juss around the corner there's no way. So I said let's pray about it and God will let us know if this is meant to be or not. That nite I asked St. Therese for her prayers asking if this meant to be send me a yellow rose. Before I left for work I went to get the mail and when I got the mail there was this small package with a rosary in it from St. Therese! Crazy huh! Now I know its not exactly my yellow rose soo I'm kinda praying for confirmation.

SICK: SInce Monday Ive been kinda stuck at home with this stupid stuffy nose. Tuesday was horrible I juss barely made it through the day. That maximum strength sudafed I bought though was legit. I took that thing yesterday morning and it's help clear up my sinuses. Little stuffiness here and there but its not as nearly as bad as Tuesday. I took yesterday and today off of work juss to rest up on top of all that I have a confirmation retreat I have to be at this weekend. A part of me doesn't really want to go but I already said in the beginning I would go. At least I wont be really running the retreat so that's kinda cool. Im leading a discussion group and I hope the talks and speakers are interesting. There's only certain people I can really sit and give my attention to when they're speaking-others juss kinda end up loosing my attention.

CHRIS BROWN: Maan all I gotta is kawawa Chris Brown. I dont know I really dont want to believe he'd do something like that. I always said he would be one entertainer that would be fun to juss chill with. I mean he looks so easy going and juss fun he doesnt look like the type that would have a temper unlike others ahem kanye west ha. Now they're saying this isnt the first time and rhianna is saying that this is happened before or something similar to that. Whaack. I think he's innoncent until proven guilty so hopefully they got him mixed up with some other crazy guy.

SPAM MESSAGES: The spam messages on the tagboard are getting really annoying. Errday I have to go and clean it up. It wasnt like that before how come they keep coming back!! And I really dont want to throw away my tagboard either. AHh I wish there was a way juss to block the stupid messages from coming in. Last Thursday over dinner we were talking bout blogs and old networking sites from when we were younger. Crazy how technology has advanced and changed over the years. I wonder if I would've had an ipod when I was in high skool or even maybe let alone a cell phone.

SPA: When I was in New Zealand there was this pretty tight spa place. It was named one of the top 10 spas in the world back like 2007 or something like that. Anyway, for $20 you can spend as much time as you wanted in these different pools of hot springs. Talk bout cheap and a good deal! Being in there was so relaxing and defintely worth it...too bad they dont have anything like that over here. Well I'm sure they do it's juss probably real expensive and well not as nice as the one in New Zealand.

DEBIT CARD: Talk bout missing something important! Last week I found out that my debit card has been compromised so to be on the safe side the bank said to cancel it and they'll issue me a new one. Maan not having it has been super hard especially since I dont carry any cash on me most of the time. So I had to go the bank last week to withdraw cash which was sort of an inconvenience since I had to make an extra stop before work agh!!

MOVIES: Last weekend was an eventful weekend, I had to make the most of my long weekend. Back to back movies, back to back hang outs, and back to back rain which is probably how I got sick oh why?! Anyway, first movie was 'He's just not taht into you.' Yeah I know but it looked really interesting so I had to watch it. The storyline is funny it wasn't what I had thought well sorta some of the characters did eventually cross paths. Overall it was pretty good, the ending was cute and wasnt as predictable as I had thought it was going to be. Saturday I went to go watch 'Push.' That one was aiight, the good thing about that movie was at least there was action throughout the movie and not all this dialouge then all the action at the end. The bad part was it really was like a poor mans heroes and they had gay names for their powers such as: 'sniffers' or 'watchers' or 'pushers' etc

OH WHY STORIES: So my friend showed me the other day this site called 'FML' which is funny cuz it's like there 'oh why?!' stories of people's misfortunate. Now why people would post their stories on a site like that is beyond me but it's entertainig to read.

On a brief splurge...

"We must acknowledge that God is happiness itself or we will never know what true happiness is!"

MEETING JESUS: Like with errjob, there are moments where you really enjoy your job and then there are moments when you're not into your job. Anyway, today was one of those moments where your job made you smile. It was so cute my little boy that I work with, well he has this other boy that he plays with almost errday. Anyway, the two of them were eating lunch today and his friend said to him, 'Kysen you're my best friend.' Awww I wanted to cry haha it was so cute. Then during P.E. the kids were learnign to throw the ball to each other. So when it was Kysen's turn to throw the ball, he threw it and it was kinda off then his friend smiled, winked, and gave him the thumbs up. Aww it was really cute one of those moments where you juss had to have been there.
