long blog today:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCO!!!!! whoa... the big two-oh... hope you have a great day! (also, on thursday the 23rd, it was ming's 20th and keith's 19th birthdays.)

people i would like to get a hold of since i haven't heard from them in ages (who read this): tina! simon! liz! erin! HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING???

note 1: miss you too kalam! thanks for leaving me those notes! will try to give you a call sometime, ok? (though for the record, thursdays are my weekly jenne-and-tiff super thursdays...)

note 2: ROHAN!!! you're still alive!!! YAY!!! how are you? that "DWAH!" on your page is driving me crazy! when are you going to elaborate? (also, i hate midterms too. they suck.)

CANNOT ("it's one word! from the number of papers i've received from all of you, you'd think that they were broken up and not seeing each other anymore!" ~ mr. kirkwood, oac english) FORGET THE EARS!!! LOVE YA, TACB!!!!

note 3: futher crypticness (inspired by danny): i do still love the tree, i just think that it's withered away and died. i'd like to be proven wrong, but i don't think a second generation of apples will grow... :( meanwhile, i think oranges taste better!

just got back from church... was an excellent service on having a new mindset on life... living as christians in attitude and action. you should really read ephesians 4:17-32 for guidelines. i might not be succeeding, but i'm trying... thinking of joining sunday school on "spiritual gifts" as well.

oh, i got this from a ccf email today... even if you aren't religious, you have to admit that the Bible has some pretty darn good metaphors and analogies... read:
Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered
what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining
silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That
week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to
watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason
for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of
refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over
the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining
silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire
where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the
impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot
spot then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits
as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith
if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the
whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that
yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had
to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the
fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it
would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the
silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"
He smiled at her and answered, "Oh that's easy - when I see my
image in it."

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God
has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His
image in you.

Pass this on. Right now, this very moment, someone needs to know
that God is watching over them. And, whatever they're going
through, they'll be a better person in the end.

oh, so i had my orgo midterm on saturday... thank God that it's over! wasn't so bad, i think i did well enough? but yeah, when i was done, i took a nice nap, chatted with some friends on msn, went shopping with grace and then we went out to dinner with suz because we hadn't seen her in three weeks!!! goodness, look what midterms have reduced us to! we tried calling up other people, but they were either not home or busy studying... but that's ok, i think we're planning on having a mid-week get-together for brock 4 on wednesday night?

anyhow, the three of us had a great time... it was SO GOOD to see suz again... honestly, dear, since we live so close, we have to meet up more often, if even for a one-hour chat! we were originally going to go to windmills, but we hadn't realized how expensive it was even with 25% off! like the lowest entrees started at $13... i mean, the food looked good, but we were starving and didn't want to wait for like an hour for a table and also didn't want to spend to much $$$. we ended up going to bangkok village and the food was so yummy! mmmm, curry...

afterwards, grace and i went home and we ended up watching hilarious hip-hop videos... oh man, you have to see ludricris' "stand up" video... it's so ridiculous that it's funny! (what's the the enlarged limbs and baby bodies?) ooh, and we also went to various clothing sites (yes, we're into consumerism...) and went to the abercrombie and fitch site. oh. my. goodness. you know how they're catalogs are known more for the naked twenty-somethings than the clothes? well, the site wasn't too far-off in some parts... haha, we started watching A&FTV, searching for the episodes where the guys weren't wearing shirts... ("what? the beach volleyball one has girls in it? 'cmon! that's not right!") hahaha
