Okay it's been about a month since I last blogged. Things are kind of different just a tiny bit. SPENDING TOO MUCH FREAKIN MONEY NOW!! I'm having trouble sleeping the past few days. I slept at 6:00 AM the past three days.. I just can't sleep too much stuff on my mind( and it's not about school FREAK!) I need to concentrate on my school now especially since I graduate pretty soon next May. Man this past two week-ends have been different and interesting. Last week-end we went to FUBAR. Ritchie was wasted by the ways. It was cool... (for someone who doesn't like going clubbing it was good) It was nice seeing a lot of people again. I haven't seen those people for a while.. (ie.. the people who don't live in Surrey).. First time in a while that I actually had fun clubbing in Vancouver. I love going clubbing out of town but that was the first time in a while that I had fun clubbing in Vancouver. Crazy people in there.

This week-end was pretty tiring too.. Maybe it's just because I haven't been sleeping properly. Sleep at 6:00 Am.. damn... I'm tired. But I can't sleep.. Not going to school for sure tomorrow or else I gotta wake up in about 4 and half hours. What did we do this week-end. Friday, we just chilled at Gee's house and then we went to BG's.. Hung out with some people.. Then Saturday, I went shopping bought some clothes.. Then waited at Ced's house till it was Randy's party thing.. We ate at this place called (I don't remember) Succezz.. or something like that.... I don't remember.. It was in the corner of Homer and Smithe... around there.. It was pretty cool.. Different setting.. Had me some lambchops.. hmmmmmm.... Then we were suppose to go the Drink with Randy and his buddy's but we got too lazy so we played pool downtown. Some place called Rods or something.... Ryan hooked up and also Fran showed up... It was aights.. NOW THE INTERESTING THING IS!!! It was around 2:30 AM when we stopped playing ... 20 minutes away from my house right????? WRONG!!!! Left my car at Gee's house... and we had to drive emily home in Coquitlam, then Paulo, then Gee, then I had to drive Ced home.. Then I finally got to go home. around 4ish...... Then after all that driving........ You'd think that I was tired and fall straight to sleep... NOPE!! Can't sleep.... Somethings on my mind... Today was going to be my resting day... Nope... Had to pick up Fran to go to a GA for SFC.. If I didn't have to pick her up I bet I would have skipped it.... It was cool though hanging out with them... I had to wake up at 11:30... I know that's not bad.. but I need more sleep...

The funny thing is I don't know what's on my mind. Too much stuff. All I know is that I'm just suppose to be concentrating at School and that's it... No more.... I promised myself that.. I hope so... It also doesn't help that What I'm learning right now is so boring.. Networking Essentials.. READ LINES AFTER LINES AFTER LINES!!! Freakin boring as heck but you know... That is something I have to do... I'm freakin 24 years old still living at home and still being dependent of my parents.. (I"M NOT SURE IF THAT MADE SENSE BUT YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I MEAN)... Next year for sure, moving out... with or without friends to move out with. I can't believe I'm 24 already... HOLY CRAP!! I have to finish school.... Or else... don't know...

This past birthday was pretty different than the previous.... It really hit me that I'm 24..... and where the heck is my life going to? I was doing a lot of Soul-Searching per-say... A lot of thinking... I'm 24 and I'm always in front of the freakin computer...... I mean I like being in front of the computer... That's my future.. That's my future employment.. . But other than that and some other stuff.. I really don't want to be in front of the computer the whole night... Playing Games, Chatting, Surfing what-ever.. I need to enjoy life more.. I need to SEIZE LIFE!!! you know what I'm saying.... See that's what is wrong with the computer... People doesn't realize it but a simple computer, internet can take over your life.. Why???? cause you can get almost everything you need from the NET. But you know what... it still isn't the same as real life... Let me see would you guys rather be chatting with someone on the Computer or in Person... IN PERSON of course... It just isn't the same.. You gotta go out more.. Do more stuff.. There are so much stuff out there that we haven't done yet.... That is why.... me, and Ced was talking about this last night.... I really had fun this past two week-ends.... Cause we did different stuff than our usuall comfort zone things like BG's ( EVENTHOUGH WE STILL HUNG OUT THERE THOUGH).... or whatever... Can you guys actually believe this.... we actually hung out in Vancouver this past two week-ends what the heck... Hung out with different people... Different crowd.. Which was cool?? We actually got out of our Comfort Zone.. or me especially and did something else... that was fun....

It's too easy to stay at a certain comfort level.. Life won't be exciting.. It will get too boring ... Too whatever.... I was actually talking(e-mailing) to Ami(Ced's cousin) about this. She suggested to get out of the comfort zone.. But I didn't listen... You know what.... AMI your right... Thanks..

Wow I haven't blogged in such a long time. I hope people still read my blog.. Anyways, getting ready for this SWR2 thing this week-end. I'm not really that excited. I'm getting used to this "don't expect anything then you won't be disappointed" phrase with the singles. I didn't expect anything from the last General Assembly and guess what it was really good. Some lady from the AGAPE group shared some stuff.. For all of you guys who don't know AGAPE is a ministry where these people walk the "bad" streets of Vancouver and gives candies and other things to "street" ladies. They basically support the people in those streets.. She was talking about how much she wants more people to join them and stuff. She also said don't be scared cause it said so in the Bible: " Do not be afraid ...... " or something like that (heehee!) sorry I don't remember the passage exactly but she was saying that she doesn't get scared about getting diseases or getting killed cause she knows that God's there protecting her and stuff.. Which was really cool... She also said that with her 3 years of doing this she's only been harrassed 15 times by pimps and other guys.. I was like 15 times... that's one too many for me.. Damn... She's really good at this though..

My mom told me a story once cause for some reason Richmond Hospital calls my house to ask my parents to pray for people in the hospital.. One story my mom was telling me was that she had to pray over this hooker/drug addict in the hospital.. She was told not to give her any money.. So my mom first called her and asked her what she needed.. The lady asked for a toothbrush... Wow! Something we take for granted is so important to other people. Anyways, she talked to this lady( she was a native ), and she was asking if she believed in God... She did.. She said that she believed in the creator and stuff.. Anyways, my mom prayed over her...
Another time, my mom was asked to pray over this kid in the hospital for some fatal diseas.. I don't remember what but she prayed over her and gave her one of my mom's Baby Jesus figures straight from Czech(I think!! somewhere in Europe, where my parents went after Africa), now this Baby Jesus has been blessed, prayed over, went to church( yes your hearing it right.. someone actually brings these figures to church to get blessed)... Then probably like 3 months ago, someone called our house, and it was the mom of the little kid. She is okay now.. She's not sick anymore and she was just thanking my mom for the support.. Miracles happen in our everyday life, sometimes we don't even realize it. I really believe that God is powerful. more than anyone can imagine.. I just hope that I won't be lazy and start serving him again. See I always have these talks with some of my classmates at school cause one of them supposedly studied all about these different religions. He always asks me How do you know that God is real? I always tell him.. You know what I really don't have any physical proof, but I just know and I started telling him about all the stuff that happenned in YFC... the camps, talks and stuff.. Anyways...

Oh wow, I just had a cause of DEJA VU!!! Someone's messing with the Matrix! (just playing)... Anyways, I didn't do anything these past 2 days besides school and STUPID WALK HOME!! Did I ever tell you guys I HATE WALKING!!! hrrrrrrrrr!!! It was raining so hard today too... man!!!! Can't I graduate already.. Next May still.... how many month's is that.... 7months still... dang.. Oh well.. having fun in school anyways.. We're finally learning real stuff.. ACCESS with VISUAL BASIC!! I like it.. Starting the project tomorrow.. Suppose to be hard according to Cedric. (he's a month ahead of me)... Time to play counter strike so see you all later... aights..

2001-10-15T23:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry I didn't blog the follow up concerning my last blog but I've been too lazy this whole week-end to blog or anything.... Nothing much really happenned this week-end except for the General Assembly and the Music Ministry practise for the SFC..... Other than that nothing new really.... I heard Mike and Kim is going out now YEP!!!!! and also Rosabelle and Randolph... What the.... Another long distance thing What the again... I swear I had a topic to talk about but my mind completely went blank.... Nothing much change around here... Still Counter Strikin it.... Still watching tv, bread garden... same old stuff... Birthday's coming up though.... NO RITCHIE.. NO MORE DRINKING!!! I'd like to remember my birthday this year please.... anyways.. getting tired so see you all later

2001-10-12T08:35:00.000-07:00

Let's see I'm at school right now bored already and I've only been here for like 15 minutes.. I got to school really early today cause I had to take the stupid bus to school. But that's not my topic for this morning. Last night I was falling asleep while driving from the usual Surrey to Richmond at 1:15 in the morning..

Then I decided why not day dream. Then I started looking back at my life and stuff. I started thinking: Why would anybody pick me as Cluster Head of YFC before? or Why would anybody pick me as the group leader in school? What's so special about "little" old me? To tell you guys the truth I don't know. But I just can't say no to responsibility. I guess I was just born a LEADER! or was I? I really have no clue. I guess GOD hand picked me from all these people to be this certain type of individual. Most of my life I always wondered what things do I excel at? (ex. Michael Jordan excels in basketball ........etc.. ) I always wanted to play every single sport out there but I never excelled in any of them.. I'm just good. But then I realized while driving home last night that I am an excellent leader. (I'M NOT BEING COCKY!! I AM) when I talk people listen. I don't care anything about attention.. I'm not the attention seeker. Example would be in school, people always check with me first on how or when I"m going to finish this project or this exam and then they will do the same thing.

During YFC times, I'm not the worlds best talker or facilitator but for some reason I think I did really good as cluster head. It's all God's work. He gave me this certain AURA ( I think that's how you spell it) or a certain charisma (I THINK?????). Anyways, I don't want anybody from school reading this so I'll get back on this topic when I get home okay.. later

2001-10-11T16:07:00.000-07:00

Let's see now, it's back to normal life again after that kind of "vacation" or "service" that I experienced this week-end.. It was real cool. Anyways, starting to get to the fun stuff at school now. Learning how to combine a database(ex. ACCESS) with Visual Basic... So far so good.. It's all programming now from here on except for networking essentials and business skills 3.. It should be fun now.. no more stupid Systems Analysis... Nothing much has been happenning since I got back.. We watched Training Day this past Tuesday... It wasn't as good as I thought it would be.. See it's my kind of movie but it confused the heck out of me.. I didn't like the story line.. It was okay.. SNOOP HAD ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF FAME!!!! even Dr. Dre had more of a part.. Snoop didn't even stand up... he was on a wheel-chair... Anyways, I'm getting everybody obssessed with Counter-Strike.. Even Cedric always plays it now.... At first it was just Mike Antonio, then Ritchie, then Cedric... WHO'S NEXT???? I bet it's VICTOR!!! He's a gamer... I swear I can't stop playing it... Anyways, be back later.. aights

2001-10-09T13:06:00.000-07:00

Wow, heck of a week-end.. Me, John, Vanessa, Victor and Rhedora(I think that's how you spell it), went to Edmonton this past long week-end to help Debby and Butch serve at the Great Adventure Week-end. It was totally awesome. Vic drove both ways the whole way (CRAZY!!!) (It's the pride thing again) Anyways, he also got a speeding ticket on the way back plus he couldn't find his wallet so you can imagine having 5 people searching a 2002 Explorer with a cop lights on and everything parked behind us... It was pretty cool.. I got a smoke break...

Anyways, that wasn't the main topic of the week-end.. It was nice to serve again.. Did my first talk in like 3 years? I was so scared and also I led a discussion group for the first time in like 3 years too... That was cool also... Made Cheers and all that stuff which was cool but the main thing was that I was back to doing something I love and feel so at home. It was cool.. First time I ever worked with the full-time workers ( Butch and Debby ), which was really cool.. Cause if you don't know me very well I could care less about the full-timers except of the people straight from the Phils (ex. Kuya Louis and Kuya Raffy).... So that was kind of cool... My talk was about I love you just the way you are and it's basically about loving yourself for what God has given you cause everybody is beautiful in their own unique way.... It was awesome .. I liked that talk.. Eventhough I still don't think my talk while I was talking didn't make any sense.. I GUESS I DID!! Oh well.... That was totally awesome... OH YEAH!! I ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 2 SMOKES for the whole week-end... THAT WAS CRAZY!!!! man was I drinking lots of coffee..... After the camp when we went back to the coordinators house and I had a smoke... HOLY LIGHT HEADED!!! Anyways, it was awesome didn't have lots of smoke.... didn't spend lots of money ( EXCEPT BUYING DEBBY DRINKS (2) CAUSE SHE KEPT BEATING ME AT POOL)... Hey I beat her twice.... See we had this bet cause she took my smokes and if she beats me 3 times then I buy her a smirnoffs and then if I beat her twice then she gives me back my smokes...( I MADE THIS BET KNOWING THAT SHE'S REALLY GOOD AT POOL AND I HAVEN'T PLAYED IN LIKE 3 YEARS) She killed me!!! ANyways,, I 'm bored at home now cause I didn't go to school today so, I'm about to head out and chill so see you all later aights...

2001-10-02T21:03:00.000-07:00

I DON'T LIKE GOING CLUBBING!!! I just realized that over the week-end.. We'll actually I like going clubbing in the normal places and not the usual Ghetto places. There is this club close to the border called "Funky Planet".. It was pretty cool. I mean it wasn't packed or anything but I liked it. It was a nice place. People from Washington State was there and Western Washington University.. It was cool it was like a school setting.... Then comparing it to this club called "The Drink" (USED to be called Madissons).. Anyways, this place is just full of playas and hustlers.. The setting is totally different between the two clubs.. If I had a choice I'd rather go to the Funky Planet. The drink is just too "TYPICAL" club... you know what I mean. The Funky Planet was also funny.... It was a mainly "WHITEBOY" Club ( no offense)... Man they can't dance ( NO OFFENSE AGAIN!!)... The only thing they can do is grind... Every single song.. that's it.. Grind, Grinding, Grinding...... hmmmm..... pretty hard do move your hips side to side eh!! HORNY BASTARDS!! just playin.... It's so funny though.... Then there was this funny asian guy just going everywhere thinking he can dance... He was okay.. but he's just feeling it too much....

I HATE ACCESSS!!!! Man....... anyways, no talking about school..... I'm listening to the Backstreet Boys right now .. their own version of "Lean on Me"... It's pretty good.. If you guys read Ritchie's Blog..... H to the izzo V to the izza.... haha!! Ritchie your too old man.... I think that songs awesome... I love the beat and stuff... Anyways, I'm listening to some trance thing right now.... all I can hear is tsss, tss,tsss ,tss ,tssss boom ,tss ,tsss... I usually don't really like trance music but I can listen to some of it just not too much... Now I'm listening to Lil BOW wow!!! Man diss him anytime you want.. but he's freakin good.. He can rap... "BOW WOW WOW YIP PE YO YIP PE YAY! WHERE MY DOGS AT!" I love that song.. I wish I can sound like that when I rap....all I sound like is .........

been to a lot of places
seen a lot of faces
met a lot of girls with victoria secret laces

YEAH!! I still remembered ! That was our performance about 2 years ago... Just ask Gerard or myself if you guys wanna hear any of it.... Man if we're bored we do anything.. In my computer we have 10 sets of songs with us rapping.. 1 BET interview, 1 SCENE from Menace to Soceity, 1 FOBBED out scene, we actually sang What's that song called again.. " shudup shoo be do!!! " Anyways, I don't remember right now.... WE WILL HAVE A FINAL PRESENTATION SOMETIME!!! SING, DANCE, and FLOW!! just listen up for when it is... HAHA!! I'm listening to that COTTON EYE JOE SONG!!! " WHERE DID YOU COME FROM WHERE DID YOU GO..... WHERE DID YOU COME FROM COTTON EYE JOE!!! " haha!!! I haven't listened to this for a while...... OHHHH!!! who sang that song called ," Everytime I close my Eyes" Everytime I close my eyes I thank the Lord, I got you!! .. that's a good song.. I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS BLOG IS MAKING ANY SENSE! SOrry I'm just listening to my MP3's right now....Now I'm listening to WU-TANG!! WU-TANG!!! WU-TANG!!! I like wu-tang

2001-10-02T11:05:00.000-07:00

I'm here at school right now.. suppose to be doing my project but I'm too lazy to do anything so I won't.... I HATE ACCESS

2001-10-01T12:33:00.000-07:00

HAHA!! Ritchie's going to get obsessed with Counter Strike..!!! HEE HEE I told you so.. I was playing with him till 1:30 in the morning... Teaching him stuff and things like that. Man I'm suppose to be doing a project so see yah guys later.. I'm going to go eat.. ME SO HUNGRY!!!!

2001-09-27T23:34:00.000-07:00

I'm suppose to be studying right now cause I have an exam tomorrow but I'm too freakin lazy... so I'll just wing it tomorrow.. I hope I pass.... I don't know jack about this thing. I was going to study but Ritchie called me and wanted to go have dinner.. so I was like FINE!!!! spend more money.. Then after I didn't want to go home anymore so we went to Bread Garden and chilled for a little bit and talked about stuff... It so funny how long we've been hanging out.. We were just talking about all the memories and all the stuff we've done ( cause Ritchie's Mr. memories) Were all talking about all our coolest trips and stuff like LONDON ( which was really cool, A team.. hee hee ) , SAN JOSE TRIP( it was aights...), LOS ANGELES TRIP( too young and innocent to be whatever) trips to Seattle ( SPRING BREAK with Coy, and Rodney which was pretty cool) of course more recently Edmonton ( awesome trip.. first time just the boys)... We were just talking about everything.. About past relationships and stuff....

See what's so cool is that Ritchie and I are still friends... we've been hanging out for a while.... I think like 7 or 8 years something like that.... After all the stuff that happenned between us before... ( GRADE 11) and we're still friends that's pretty cool.... Anyways, yah we were talking about lots of stuff... organizing the thing and also about relationships, trips.. just MEMORIES... like I said earlier Ritchie is Mr. Memories.... Out of all the trips that I mentioned earlier I think the best one was the London one. We'll one thing that made it really cool was the fact that I was with my girlfriend (EX) and also it was just so different there.. The atmosphere, the settings of the places. and also just the people.. Gotta love those English Accents... Man was it awesome.. Whenever the ladies talked... man I could just melt... AHHH Chie..... wow!!! We also met these fob guys from the mall in London.. I mean they were hecka FOBBED out.... but when they spoke they had English(LONDON) accents mixed with Filipino dialect.... WHAT THE!!! Beer there is just totally awesome... best I've ever tasted.. Everything was open all the time.. Crazy night life... I want to go back there just to party... See I don't like going clubbing here in BC... I don't know it's just boring for me, been there done that you know what I'm sayin... but I like going clubbing out of town.. It's awesome.. You see new people, new surroundings... Like in Edmonton, I had fun there clubbing eventhough some PANA lady( no offense) picked me up.. (HELL NO!!) man was that scary dancing with her. London, when we went clubbing it was cool.. totally different atmosphere.

Oh yeah also somewhere closer, when me and John went clubbing in Whistler just for the heck of it ... That was funny ... here's the story... John and I, we were just eating at the Elephant Castle in Surrey (Guildford).. Then I get a call that Seattle people were here ( I think it was Bev, Aires, Jeff, Mike, Andrea I think!! I don't remember) but anyways, they went to Whistler to go Snow boarding and stuff... So we went ( for all of you guys who don't know where Whistler is it's about 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from Surrey, BC) it was like 7:30 PM.. already.. so we were like fine lets go there.. and we got there around 9:00 ish ...and we went clubbing.. MAN WAS IT HOT!! Lot's of girls, tourists... It was hyped... Cause it was winter time too so lot's of people were there. Then around 12:30 PM.. we had to drive all the way back home... LONG RIDE!! We were both tired so I bought coffee at 7-Eleven.. BLACK and we put 20 packs of sugar.... MAN WERE WE WIRED!! The whole way home we were just singing and rapping... we were so hyper the whole way home.. Anyways,, that's the story... see my circle of friends, we don't plan anything.. if something pops up then we'll be there. Ever ask us what we're doing tomorrow or for the week-end " WE HAVE NO CLUE!! " but something always pops up. The Edmonton trip.. eventhough we planned it.. We really didn't know we were going to go till we left Ritchie's house at 7:00 PM!!! Then by the time we got to Kamloops.. We were all saying. " I can't believe we actually went through with it.." It was cool! We'd drive around downtown Edmonton at 4:00 in the morning doing absolutely nothing. lookin for girls... ( By the way GEE GOT FINGERED!! HAHA!! GEE I know your going to read this)...Clubbing.. no idea what we are going to do but we just did...

Anyways, I feel like relaxin now so SEE YAH TOMORROW!! okay.. wish me luck on my exam... I'm just going to wing it..... I HOPE I'M A GOOD GUESSER!!! woo hoo!!

2001-09-25T10:34:00.000-07:00

You know what's so cool about the new site stats thing that www.freeehomepage.com offers.... I can tell which countries the people checking my site are in and where they are like icbc , Ritchie for example... It shows everything.. That's so cool.. I never knew people from the Philippines and Hong Kong checked my site.. Why?? Don't ask me.. but thanks anyways..... To all the people continously checking my site.. don't worry it will change soon.... I'm really working hard planning to develop a new site so just chill..... aights.. I'm at school right now suppose to be doing the last module for this Access 2000 thing but I'm too lazy right now... I'll start it in about 10 minutes.. I'm just bumming around finding things to do.. I just finished 5 straight games of free cell in my computer.. Man are my eye's tired. After this no more of this stuff and back to Visual Basic programming where it's fun... I can't wait... Probably in another 2 weeks. Hopefully I can do my exam this friday and then start the Access Project this monday... So relax.. Anyways, better start my chapter now.. It's 80 pages long.... See yah later...

2001-09-24T14:32:00.000-07:00

Yeay I'm home now.... We have our first match tonight for this game called Counter Strike... I LOVE THIS GAME!! I can't stop playing it.. I have a clan.. woo hoo.. that's so wierd cause I don't really like playing a lot of these fighting or first person shooting games... but I like this one.. It's so realistic.. Anyways.. gotta practise now if you ever have a chance check out our web-site at www.xtremealliance2.homestead.com .... Now before you make fun of the web-site.. I DIDN'T DO IT!!! Aights

2001-09-24T10:23:00.000-07:00

AAAHHHHH!!! I don't like Access at all. It's so boring.. I mean create a bunch of tables and connect them together and then you build yourself a database program.. Why do I have to read this thick A$$ book to learn it... give me the damn program and I'll learn it myself. Telling me how to open this and how to open that.. Common figure it out yourself.. The freakin button is right there... The book is freakin1025 pages long.... Talking about how to do this and that..... man most of it is bullcrap... Click this button to open this and click that to do this.. You know what you don't need freakin 40 pages of pure text to tell me that.. Just give me an exercise and I'll do it myself.. Stupid Microsoft......... Sorry I'm so bored at school right now and I have nothing else to do and can guess what I'm learning right now??? Access 2000 .... talk about boring.. my whole class is at least 1 week ahead of schedule... This course is suppose to end in 2 weeks still.. We're almost done the book.. .Then what do we do...........

Anyways, In regards to Ritchie's blog today about taking the bus and stuff... Man I have to start taking the bus starting next week... WOW!!! I haven't taken the bus since Grade 10... Last time I took the bus it was $0.75 to take it.. Now I heard it's $3.75 or something like that... HOLY!! and the transit people went on strike for God know 's how long.. Talk about Robbery.. I'll drive the bus for them..... Can't be that hard....I mean there's the new law already about Yeilding to busses and stuff.. How your suppose to let them in anytime they want to go on your lane.... but freakin bus drivers take advantage of that.. Here I am driving my little Honda Civic then I see this bus next to me getting closer and closer... I was like what the heck is this fool doing.. SO I sped up, pulled up next to the driver window and gave me the UNIVERSAL HAND Gesture, I'm sure we all know what I'm talking about, the FINGER!! and then cut him off in turn... I know they get right of way already.. We have to yield and stuff for them... But they are not allowed to switch anytime they want... STUPID IDIOTS!!! Why don't you go back and have a STRIKE again.......... People don't really care.. It was less traffic when the busses weren't there... I'd rather spend $20 on gas than pay $3.75 by bus. Too bad my parents are the ones who give me money and I really don't have any say about things..

2001-09-23T23:30:00.000-07:00

Have you guys ever seen that movie Enemy At the Gates?? That's a very good movie.. I usually don't like war story type movies but this one I like.. Cause it was a true story and it was just portrayed good.. I watched it at Ritchie's House tonight with Sylvia... Today I wasn't going to do anything but Ritchie came over and then we went to Richmond Public Market and ate those awesome fried squid things... mmmm hmmmmm hmmm... I love those things.... Anyways, I really have nothing to talk about so I'll just blog back tomorrow.. Sunday's are so Boring!!

2001-09-22T02:07:00.000-07:00

I don't feel like eating for 1 whole week, well maybe till tomorrow lunch time.. Didn't go to school today... hee hee too lazy..... got to sleep the whole day.... and play some Counter-Strike... The game I'm so freakin obsessed in..... If you guys haven't tried it yet... man you gotta try it.. a nice safe way of venting out your frustrations.. it's a first person shooting game.... I can't stop playing it... I even have a clan.... It's called Xtreme Alliance .... you can visit it at
man... I've never been so obsessed with a computer game before.... I can't stop playing it.. After school, at night( if I don't go out)... It's a web-based game where you play against other people connected via the internet... It's awesome... You guys gotta try it.... It's an old game but thousands play it in the world... like 100's of thousands...

Anyways, WE GOT A ROUTER!! yeah so we don't have to use my computer as a server anymore... woo hooo!!! Built in firewall, don't have to keep disconnecting the cable so people can't hack into my system... yeay............ Oh yeah did I mention I ate too much.......

2001-09-18T00:30:00.000-07:00

Holy cow I'm tired today.... I didn't get my afternoon nap.. I'm hecka tired.. Janice went to my house today and then we went over to Ritchie's house and then I feel asleep there. Man was I tired.. still am... oh yeah Janice told me about this new 24 hour work out place in Richmond.. That would be totally cool.. so I can workout again at 5:00 in the morning or late at night... I might go check it out we'll see what's up..

anyways, what to talk about tonight??? hmmmmm no idea actually .. my mind is so blank right now.. I'm sick and tired of this whole bombing thing already.. I just want to get back to normal life again. no more talk about that... unless something new and interesting pops up... other than that this is the last time I'm mentioning this whole thing... still have no clue what to talk about... was-up with andrea semiahmmoo and victor not blogging anymore... lazy asses..... now I have no one's to read except for Ritchie's ....

One topic I can talk about is about taking the bus... MAN I HAVE TO TAKE THE STINKING BUS STARTING OCT. 1st...... sucks... cause my carpool is graduating already. I haven't taked the bus since Grade 10.. just to give you an idea I was Grad '96 from STM..... so that was a long time ago.. actually I think I took the bus around 5 years ago once..... that's about it though... sucks.... I hate the bus.. I'd rather drive and pay for gas than take the stupid bus. I go to school downtown and parking there cost so much right now it's costing me like $130 a month to park there.. but with my carpool it works out to about $44 bucks per person.. I think... I don't remember... anyways,, I need to make a new homepage. I want to get my own domain name... just to start it off.. just give me time... It will be done.. let me just install my NEW 40 GIG Harddrive... then I'll be back in track... right now I only have 300 megs left on my computer.. that's not very much.. need to burn movies(too many movies) into CD's but I don't have and CD's right now.. That's what I can do tomorrow.. but CD's ...

Let me see what will I do tomorrow... nothing special.. I think there is this Conference thing happening for YFC at Fatima or something.. John asked me to go.. We'll see what I'm feeling tomorrow.. suppose to watch a movie with Ritch, Sylv, Andrea..... are there any good new movies out??? I kinda want to watch that baseball movie with Keanu Reeves.. we'll see though.... I don't know which one to go to yet.... Too lazy.... I just want to sit at home relax on my bed ( TO BAD MY ROOM IS TOO MESSY!! DAMN ANOTHER THING TO DO) and watch TV... I haven't had one of those days for a long time.. where you just stay home the whole day and do absolutely nothing but watch TV or play on the computer... I LOVE THOSE DAYS!!

2001-09-13T00:53:00.000-07:00

Oh wow has it ever been a crazy last 2 days.. I know everybody is talking about the whole New York Bombing thing and stuff... Damn it's just crazy.. I can't believe someone would do that.. And to make things worse.. in the news today... I heard that the USA is clearing or getting all of their people out of Afghanistan.. so what does that mean... are they gonna bomb the heck out of it??? Hope not... I know they have to destroy who ever did this... They have too.. If they don't then anybody could just do this thing again and again.. .They have to set an example... I hope it doesn't turn into a WAR.... Too many innocent bystandards are gonna get hurt.. I first heard about this news while driving to school... I was like what the heck.... Then I saw the footage.... damn I couldn't concentrate... I woke up at 5:00 Am just to watch the news... Crazy.. People jumping out of buildings, the footage was just crazy.. just like independence day.... holy cow... Everytime I tell the story to someone... I feel like a tear is coming down from my eye... It was just crazy... people dying.. you can see in the fire people's faces how exhausted they are and stuff... Just crazy like straight out of a Freakin movie... I heard 2 more buildings collapsed today... so that just sucks... The guy who produced Seinfeld died in the crash... 2 LA kings scouts died... I was listening to Zed and watching the news also about the people who called their wives or relatives while they were on the plane... That must be tough... I can't even imagine what the families who lost someone in this stupid,,, STTTTUUUUUPPPPPPIIIIIDDDDDDD.. act... is thinking and feeling.. I just hope and pray that God could help these people heal and forgive.. in time before they intern do something stupid too.... But I have to commend Bush with what he's doing... eventhough his people didn't want him to go to Washington.. He went there anyways... He also went to The Pentagon... which was Cool... didn't show that he was scared of anything.. showed that he is part of the people... GOOD JOB, BUSH!!! just don't do anything stupid...

As far as all this e-mail I keep getting about all these superstion nonsense... don't believe any of it... THIS THING WAS DONE BY STUPID PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A SOUL....... The best thing everybody could do is 2 get back in their normal lives and try to put this thing in the past... Don't let the other side win... This is nothing... I know people's lives was lost and stuff but we have to move on... There's nothing we can do.. I know God's taking care of them... and God will take care of these Terrorist...
To all the families who lost a loved one there and who just can't concentrate on anything else... I have one message... "God will make a way, where there seems to be no way. He works in ways, we cannot see.. He will make a way for us(me)!!!"

2001-09-11T00:16:00.000-07:00

Today... me and the boys visited Ditas.. one of our old friends from a while back.. she's sick right now.. She's losing a lot of plateles or something like that.. something with the blood... The average for a normal person is suppose to be 180 I think... her's is 8... that's really low so the doctor has her taking steriods to put more things in her body.. and she has to take blood tests every Monday... dang must be hard.. but she'll be okay.... PRAY FOR HER EVERYBODY!! It puts everything in perspective with my life.. Just like what I was blogging before.. about priorities and stuff..

Anyways, besides that didn't really do much today.. Slept ... go to school.. slept again.. that's about it till Cedric picked me up... Played Counter Strike...I don't know how I'm going to get money tomorrow but I need Gas.. It's about less than a quarter tank.. And I'm driving to school... damn it... Meeting with Andrea tomorrow for lunch... I been cancelling out on her for 2 days now.. Something always seems to pop up everytime we try to go for lunch...

You know another thing that's so cool about this YFC ministry.... (sorry to change subjects but I just got off ICQ with this guys), are the people you meet? See I met this guy probably 3 years ago or 4 years ago... Haven't seen him in like 2 years... but I feel really close to him for some reason.. I'm talking about Arnold from Winnipeg( was up arnold!!).. He's just a nice guy... Very easy to talk to and stuff. Never really talked a lot or anything but everytime I see him.. I just feel like I'm going to see a younger brother and stuff... Anyways... I don't want to sound gay and stuff but that's about it...

NEED TO SLEEP>>>>

2001-09-10T00:44:00.000-07:00

I did absolutely nothing today... Oh yeah I went to CHurch today yeay for me!!! I woke up.. watched football till 4:00... then went to John's house chilled there for a little bit ate some pasta thing plus that awesome bread with sugar thing.. I love that.. Then we went to Church with Ced, and Aleili.... Then chilled at Bread Garden.. .suppose to be studying but nope ended up talking about lots of stuff like relationships and girls and things... It was cool.. I'm actually home early today.... I can still go on the internet and relax... I want a vacation... I really do... I don't like Vancouver very much right now... I know I won't be able to go on Vacation till long time from now... But it's cool... School first... nothing else... I really need to get back into the thick of things school wise.. Need to concentrate more... been chillin too long... Tomorrow is a new day.... I need to set my priorities right... I have some chores that I've been holding off for a while... 1) need to fix my room 2) clean my car 3) do the laundry 4) Stop smoking (yeah right!!! that will be the day) 5) start working out( yeah right again... )

I really want to start working out again.. I haven't worked out for about 2 years now... I need to lose around 40 pounds.. hopefully I can do it.. If not oh well... As to the smoking thing.. I don't even like smoking... but I do it anyways... ADDICTING!! Don't ever try it.... damn it....

I'm also low in the cash flow right now... I think I have $15 left till the 15th of September... How the heck am I going to last with that amount of money.. I also need to gas up tomorrow.. damn it....... NEED MONEY!! well not really.. kind of.... Well the sermon of the priest tonight at St. Matthew, he was talking about giving up possessions or material things.. He explained it really good.. He was saying that it doesn't mean we have to give away everything we got... But if that something is taking over our lives then we have to give it up... His example was like if you buy a mansion and you are basically struggling to pay for it and it's starting to be a bother to your life then you have to give it up...

It really hit me.. Cause I'm always complaining that I need this or I need that... But I basically have everything I need... I always want to buy a new car, or clothes or new cell phone .. more computer parts.... etc.... but I already have a car that takes me from A to B... I have too many clothes.. .most of it is on the floor of my room.. Don't know why I want a new cell phone... I don't know why I want more computers parts when My computer is freakin good already.... I should be happy with what I have cause there are more people out there who needs things that I take for granted like soap.. toothbrush... towels... etc.... It really things.. me like Above I'm complaining that I only have $15 dollars till Saturday... Man there are people who'll be happy to have $15 dollars for a whole month... I really need to simplify my life-style... I'm too what's the word,,, too high maintenance.... no that's not the word I'm looking for.... I don't know... I'll try to be more simply in my life and stuff...

Start working out tomorrow....... PROMISE TO EVERYBODY!!!! but most importantly to MYSELF!!!

2001-09-09T13:59:00.000-07:00

I really really need to study. I might take my exam tomorrow. But right now I'm too lazy to study. Anyways, I might go to CHapters some time later on to study. How's everybody doing today? hee hee.. Sorry didn't have enough sleep last night. I forced myself to wake up at 10:00 in the morning today so I could watch the Seattle Seahawks play. Today's their first game. IT was pretty good.. FOOTBALL SEASON IS STARTING!! YEAY!

Anyways, on to another topic. Do I really feel like a girlfriend right now? I really don't know. I've been single for 3 years now. Now that's freakin long. I really don't know why I've been single all this time. But one thing is for sure. I did a lot of growing up these past 3 years. Learned more about myself, how to deal with life and stuff like that. Like I'm not in High School anymore or in the young ages brand. I now know what's right and what's wrong. I know what I want and I know what I don't. You know what I mean. MAYBE??? I'm way more relaxed and chillin now than I was before. I think it's the age..... heeh ee.. maybe not.... Maybe I'm just growing up..... WHAT THE HELL!! I'm not suppose to grow up till I'm like 30 or something. I'm sure my parents never thought I'd ever grow up. I'm 23 years old. that's right in the border of young and old now.. I don't like that. It's time to move on to greener pastures.... I think... No more stupid stuff..

I mean I'm pretty happy with my life right now. I'm finally back in school doing pretty good. TOP OF MY CLASS!!!! HAHA!! eat that all my instructors before at BCIT!! Life back on the right track. Everything good. No real big problems. But there is something missing in my life... Like there's a hole inside of me and I know where it is.. I know how to fix it.. I know what I'm suppose to do... But Am I trying hard enough to do it??? NO IT'S NOT ABOUT GIRLS!!! (that's another topic).. that's next in line.... I really miss having GOD in my life. When I was serving in YFC, my life was full.. I was happy as heck.. HAPPIEST I'VE EVER BEEN! I don't care if all I do on week-ends is go to meetings.. that's my life.. that's what makes me happy.. so I go there.. Clubbing doesn't make me happy, eventhough the girls there sure do.... Strip bars doesn't do nothing. GOD sure does a lot of things in my life. I miss serving.. I miss singing songs, worships, leading worships.. organizing meetings... coming up with new things to interest the people in the community.. I miss that. I know I've blogged about this before but I'm not sure if I've ever been in love before, but I can honestly say that I am in love with YFC and this ministry. Not to get everybody all whatever, I mean I'm really happy with my life now.. Chillin with the boys, and stuff but to make my life full... or complete. I need GOD In my life. I don't know what's stopping me but ....... Actually I know what's stopping me,,, one is being LAZY FOR SURE!!! Another is I'm letting people stop me from serving. THAT's not good....

Getting back with the whole girl thing.. I'm think it's time to get a girl.. Who I don't know.. But I know that I'm finally ready to commit in a relationship... WOW after 3 freakin years.. I can honestly say that I'm over my last girl... Damn it took 3 years.. Sometime in the near future... Not too near though.... I don't have any money anyways.. Who this girl is?? I'm not sure.. or maybe I am... I just don't want to tell anybody... haha.... just joking.. The thing is that I'm too picky with girls.. but that's good.. Anyways.. blog back later.. need to study some time... soon hopefully

2001-09-04T12:39:00.000-07:00

yep.. just starting Systems Analysis 2 right now and I am so bored.. VERY VERY bored... yeah I'm in school right now and I have nothing else to do... I'm sleepy.... I just finished 1 module and started another one. I'm too lazy.. This stuff is so boring. I can't wait to finish this course. Then it's off to access. I haven't done anything for the past 1 and half hours. I've been playing games in my computer the whole time. I'm so lazy.. Probably because I didn't sleep till 3:00 in the morning last night or should I say this morning.. Anyways, I'll blog again tonight see yeah

2001-09-04T02:09:00.000-07:00

It's 2:00 in the morning and guess who's still up in front of the computer.. Yep that's me. Anyways, I will really be grouchy tomorrow for sure.. gotta wake up in 4 hours. yucky. Anyways, I watched Rat Race today with Ritchie.. .That's a cool movie. It's freakin funny eventhough there was about 10 people in the whole theatre. It's really funny it's a must see for everybody.. I thought it was funny anyways. IT's one of those stupid funny movies. It's really cool... Well long week-end is done and it's back to school not just for me but for EVERYBODY!!! HAHA!!!! That's right BACK TO SCHOOL for everybody who is at school right now.... hee hee!!!

Anyways, that's not what I wanted to blog about. To all the readers, who has ever been to a gay bar???? I never thought I'd ever go in one until last Friday or Saturday.. I don't remember... Before you guys start making any judgements, Ritchie's friend from San Jose was here this week-end.. So we showed him around. He's so GAY!! First time I ever hung out with a gay person. He's a cool guy... he's so funny.. Anyways, back to this gay bar story. I was like fine I'll go (mainly because I'm stuck.. I don't have a ride home.. Ritchie drove.... sucks to be me) and then we went to Odessey... I think that's how you spell it. As soon as we went inside, there was a big sign in bold letters and underlined.. " This is a GAY bar" ... Man was my heartbeat ever beating fast... As soon as we went inside it was over, 99% guys..... guys with no shirts on and guys in bars... all I have to say is YYYYYUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKYYYYYY! Disgusting! Anyways, since we are showing Ritchie's friend around I was like fine.. I'll just chill. I was just standing there in the corner, just chillin while Ritchie and them were dancing... I was thinking how can they dance... Anyways back to my story, Then something unthinkable happenned. I HAD TO GO TO THE WASHROOM! I heard stories about Gay bars and the washrooms... So I was like fine I'll go.... Then there was a line up in the guys washroom first time ever. I swear I was so paranoid in that line up as soon as I feel the guy behind me moving closer I'd move away.. Then As soon as I got a stall .. Man, did I make sure the door was locked. Then I went back inside standing again at the corner. Then Ritchie and I decided to go for a smoke outside in the patio. But guess what as soon as we looked outside.. It was packed of ALL GUYS!! like I mean packed worse than tunnel traffic or Portman Bridge Traffic during Rush Hour. Even worse than the traffic in the Philippines.. I mean everybody was touching each other... Me and Ritch looked at each other and then we were like ... we'll go outside the front door. AIghts... fine that's cool....

That's was a pretty DIFFERENT experience.. Man was it wierd.. I can honestly tell everybody that I would never go to a GAY BAR again. Even for fun or cause I have friends that want to go.. Man imagine guys grinding and touching each other and stuff ... DAMN IT!!!!

2001-08-31T20:28:00.000-07:00

YEP it's me once again blogging on this thing.. Bored at home.. Just chillin waitin till RIchmond Sushi.. anyways, the whole conference thing is finally over. I'm both sad and happy that everybody is gone. Sad because people I just met went home and also people I haven't seen in a long time also went home, but happy because now it's back to normal life hanging out at Bread Garden everyday in Surrey. Free Coffee.. We've been doing that the past two days. Just like the good old times. Man I miss those days. When we didn't spend any money on anything. Man did my cash flow run really low when the out of towners was here. Anyways, I need to go now cause I'm dying for a smoke.. hehehehe... so hopefully I will blog sometime soon again.. aights... thanks

2001-08-14T00:07:00.000-07:00

Yep.. that's how I haven't blogged in such a long time. I HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW AND ALSO A PROJECT DUE DAMN!!!! THen I still have so much practises to do for the conference. BUT I know my priorities.. SChool always comes first before SFC stuff. I'm studying right now.. I'm just taking a break and it's already 11:56... I'm tired. More people came today for the conference. 4 People are staying at my house now. Boy is it ever getting really busy around here. I miss the good old BREAD GARDEN days. Just chillin having a smoke and free coffee.... Talking about everything and nothing.. JUST PLAIN CHILAXIN''' I can't wait till after the conference and when everybody is out of here. Then it's back to the normal life again. Eventhough It's fun having tourists here. I love showing people around Vancouver.. Cause It's the Best place to live. Nothing beats it.. We got real sand, we got real water which eventually connects to the ocean, we got mountains. The only thing we don't have here is a good night life. Everything closes early here. If somebody wanted to go out at 3:00 in the morning.. The only thing open is Night and Day, Denny's and Bubble Tea places like Tea Bar.... and stuff. Other than that everything is closed.. If you don't like Chillin, eating..... then might as well sleep.. Well actually there are the races but it's actually being cracked down by cops.. THAT SUCKS!!! it used to be so fun.. the whole strip was packed with people ... crazy cars like 75 or more....... it was awesome.. and it was pretty safe... At least they don't harm innocent people... It just racin for themselves.. that's about it...

Man all this talk about races, makes me MISS MY CAR EVEN MORE....

2001-08-07T15:59:00.000-07:00

Yep just getting ready to pick up my mom right now and I'm bored so I decided to blog. It's so funny how about two weeks ago I had so much time in my hands to relax and so absolutely nothing just chill at Bread Garden every single day with my friends or do whatever we wanted. Now I feel like I have a meeting everyday. I miss my friends and I MISS CHILLIN AT BREAD GARDEN(for free, we got the hook up). All I do now is just go to OLGC. I feel like I live there again which is like Deja Vu all over again. When I was in YFC I was there a lot I mean lots.

Switching to another topic, I HATE SMOKING! I don't even like it but something makes me always wanna have one. Whenever I drive to Surrey from Richmond which is 45 minutes away from my house. I always have about 3 smokes. Which is not good at all. I'm broke but somehow I always find money to buy smokes. I always have smokes in my pocket. Man I wish I could turn back time and not even start smoking. IT TRUELY SUCKS! I don't even like the smell. I think I've tried quiting about 10 or more times but the longest I've stopped was about 6 months. but that was because of a lady and not for myself which was not good at all. The last time I tried quiting, one morning I said to myself okay I'll stop now. So I didn't buy smokes in the morning, then I got stressed out in school and by 12:00 noon I bought one. Pretty good eh.

Anyways, I got to go cause I have to pick up my moms soon and then go to practise. So if you guys have never tried smoking before don't even try. Cause that's how it starts. aights.

2001-08-07T00:33:00.000-07:00

Hot Import Nights was the shizz. It was off the hook. So many people were there. I think every single asian ranging from Vancouver to Oregon was there. The show started around 4:00. I think by 3:30 there was already over 10,000 people there. I can't believe it. When we got there about 3:30 the line up to buy tickets was about the size of 2 football fields already. The line up for people who bought tickets over the net was probably about the same length. Then after buying your tickets you have to line up to get in. By the time we bought our tickets, the line up to get inside was about the length of going around a normal downtown building. There was so many people there. Good thing we knew some people in front of the line who bought our tickets for us. It was cool.

When we finally got inside, we went around looking at cars for about 10 minutes then for the rest of the 2 hours that we were there we didn't even notice that there was cars. SO MANY GIRLS! like crazy and they were all hoochied up and stuff. So many car models and so much free stuff like stickers, posters, magazines( which we thought was free oopppss). It was crazy. Girls wearing short shorts and it was down and they were wearing G-Strings and it was showing half way down already. It was crazy I think more than half the people weren't even looking at cars there ( Ced ). hee hee. It was totally awesome. Then after about going around 10 times in the showroom we decided it was time to leave. We then started driving towards Vancouver but we got hungry so we decided to eat at JACK IN THE CRACK! It was cool. We ate somewhere. I don't remember where. but it was pretty Ghetto. That was cool. Of the hessy fo shessy.

Anyways, back to reality. Cherry and I finally figured out what the presentation will be for Talk #5. I hope we can handle it. It's getting really crazy up here. Practise every single day. So many visitors from out of town. I love visitors. I don't know I love getting visitors from out of town. It brings everybody together. You know what I mean. It's the bomb.

I CAN'T CONCENTRATE IN SCHOOL!! TOO MANY OTHER THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW! I SURE HOPE I CAN STAY FOCUSSED CAUSE THIS IS MY FUTURE!!

2001-08-04T02:24:00.000-07:00

yep here I am blogging again cause I'm so bored. Anyways, I'm just chillin at Paulo's house relaxing just waiting till tomorrow when we head down to Seattle for HOT IMPORT NIGHTS! It's gonna be crazy. I'm kind off excited but I have too many things on my mind to get too excited.

Anyways, You guys know what's so funny? As much as I try to get away from this CFC ministry I just can't. It just keeps sucking me back in. About 1 week ago I was so relaxed doing absolutely nothing. Don't know much about the conference expect I'm playing in the music ministry. Whatever right that's cool. Then I get this call from Tito Prim saying he wants to meet with me for some reason. I was like OKAY. whatever. then He gave me an assignment for the conference. Cherry and I was asked to organize the last day of the conference for Talk #5. the creative portion. I just looked at him and said, " Tito I haven't organized anything for about 2 years ever since I stepped down from YFC and I just don't know" then We kept talking about it and somehow he managed to change my mind about it and so here it is.

Your guys are probably sayin. that's not that bad. Then I just realized that we only have 2 weeks to organize this thing. then I went to an SFC practise one day just so I could talk to Butch about it and stuff. As I was just chillin in that meeting . they were practising for some ballroom dance thing and they were short one person cause he wasn't there. So they asked me to just fill in for that time. Then I learned the dance and they asked me to be in it. So that's another thing.

After that, tonight I was just going to go to the CFC office cause I have to meet with Cherry and Ate Rose about talk 5. then As we were brainstorming. Kai came into the room and told me that I was also in the Praise Parade. So damn things are getting really busy right now. I mean I'm having fun. I'm just not used to it anymore. I still need to get used to it. What's cool is that I'm actually getting to know a few of the SFC's cause I've never really talked to a lot of them before

2001-07-31T11:33:00.000-07:00

Okay here I am blogging again eventhough I haven't blogged in such a long time. Let's see what's new in my life as of today. Well I only got 75% on my System Analysis project cause I didn't know how to write a proper structure chart. Anyways, what else is new?

Well last night, It felt like I just saw a ghost. Yep.. I was in a YFC meeting and whatever right, got a ride from Mike Manuel and Geraldine cause I left my car at Geraldine's house and then whatever.. suppose to meet with Tito Prim about some SFC stuff at OLGC. Anyways, I picked up my car and as I started to drive to OLGC.. My phone rings... and then I looked at the Caller ID and it's a number that I don't know. So I answered it "Hello". And Guess who it was.. My ex-girlfriend who I haven't seen in 2 years. She's like "Hey Archie.".. At first I didn't know who it was but I recognized the voice. Then I was like .. What the heck it's OJ.. SO whatever she's visiting till Wednesday and she's in town and she wanted to meet up so that's okay.. Then after I met up with Tito Prim at OLGC which also shocked me ( but that's another story ) , I decided to drive towards wherever OJ was. She was at Tea Bar with some of the YFC's ... As I was driving there, I was thinking, Holy cow I haven't seen or talked to her in a while I wonder if it was going to be wierd.

Anyways, I got to the place and standing outside was her sister, Angel and brother, Russell. Yep Angel ran towards me and hugged me and Holy I haven't seen her in ages too and then Russell jumped on my back and said the same thing, they both said they missed me. THat's wierd coming from a 14 year old guy in High School.. You just don't hear that coming from a guy. DAMN THAT WAS HARD! I mean I don't care about my past relationship with OJ anymore but I sure do Damn I miss that family. Then Russell kept talking to me and reminising about how it should have been me and her sister, and I was like "Rus, That's not going to happen it's been a while already."

Anyways, I asked " Where's OJ?" . I found out that she was inside. So I went in and there she was sitting down chillin with the YFC. She's basically looking the same except older and different. Anyways, we were talking outside for a little bit catching up and stuff and it was cool but wierd. IT WAS LIKE I WAS SEEING A GHOST! I never thought I'd ever talk or even see her again. Anyways, going to chill with her today again and some friends. We'll see what's up .. stand by... WHAT A WIERD DAY! that's for sure it's like deja vu...

I think that as much as you say "You've moved on" there will always be something there with your ex girlfriend or boyfriend. It doesn't matter if it was OJ or any other girlfriend. There is always something there between my ex girlfriends and me. There will always be something "special" if that's the right word or maybe "something wierd" between the two of you ..

2001-07-25T00:49:00.000-07:00

Hey It's me once again blogging on this thing.... Haven't blogged in a while sorry to everybody who still read this. ANyways, nothing much happened since last time I wrote on this thing. I fell a sleep today at 5:00 pm and I just woke up around 30 minutes ago.. it's around 12:30am and I have to wake up at 6:00am... I'm so dead. Yeah starting Visual Basic at school now, it's really cool. At least we are actually coding or learning how to code now so I'm really excited, I actually feel like going to school now. Just finished Systems Analysis and Design Level 1, just got 93% on my exam... which is worth 30% of the final mark so it's good. I'm still waiting for my project mark which was worth 70% of the final mark. That project was the first "hard" project I had to do so far. There was so much documentation and graphs and stuff. It took forever..

So I'm still doing good at school, still higher than the 90% average mark to get that "CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE" .. So far so good but now I actually have to start doing something now. I hope I did good on the last project.

Conference is coming up in around 3-4 weeks.. now it's really going to start getting busy. I'm not really excited about it. I mean it's just whatever. The thing I'm worried about is playing guitar for the whole conference. My finger is going to hurt so much. After each practise, my finger always hurts. I NEED THE CHORDS FOR THE SONGS ARNON SO I CAN PRACTISE AT HOME. No 1 on my priority right now is to clean my room. It's a freakin mess. I can't study in here now. I'm going to clean it hopefully tomorrow if not by the week-end for sure. I also need to clean up my hard drive in my computer. I think I only have 1gig left. That's not good. I need to burn my movies in a CD and also the YEP stuff. hee hee. Freakin John... anyways.. need to sleep soon or else I"ll be so dead tomorrow.. aights. so peace love and harmony, be the best that you can be and God loves you gee.. hee hee like Maximus Clean...

2001-07-13T02:01:00.000-07:00

Yep... We got Gerard today. It's his birthday. Big 25 years old. Your 1/4 to 100 years Gee. Holy Cow your old. Anyways, he didn't want to drink today but for some reason it started. Paulo sparked it. Then the rest is history. I've never seen Gee this drunk before. He did pretty good. I didn't think he was going to last that long. GOOD JOB GERARD! and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was pretty cool. ANyways, I'm really happy for Gee. I hope he had fun, we sure had a lot of laughs tonight. It's already 1:50 AM and I'm still wide awake gotta wake up at 6:00AM. Even our waiter was buying Gee drinks it was cool. I like the Flaming Lambourgini the best. At least it's just the usual people we hang out with. Me, Ced, Ritch, John (showed up late he had a meeting), Paulo, Benjie, Andrea S., Aleili, Abbi, Sylvia, Jamie, Danny. It was kind of cool.. These are the people we hang out with most of the time now.

Speaking of hanging out with people, Ritch and I were having a conversation about friendships and stuff on the way home which was really cool. We were saying how in our circle of friends, we have a basic core group that has been hanging out for years and years and we basically grew up together and we're all like brothers. We also talked about how we go through different phases of people that chills with us. The only time we don't hang out with each other is when we have girlfriends. Which is something we have to change somewhat. Cause I do believe that when you have a girl, true you have to devote most of your time with them and spend time with them alone and stuff. But they can't take you away from your friends because your not married yet. When we all get married then it's a different story, then we'll be like that movie, "Brothers" when we hang out Sundays or something play ball and go chill. Since none of us are married yet, that shouldn't be the case right? or is it? I don't know it's hard to explain cause when I was going out with my last girlfriend. I never saw my friends that much, barely saw them and I didn't really care. That is something I realized. These past years, I mean ,"I CAN LIVE WITHOUT A GIRLFRIEND, BUT I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY FRIENDS" these guys are family man. When we get mad at each other, it will last about 1 day maximum maybe even 20 minutes or something. Even when something trys to take us away from our friends. Our bond is strong that we know that when we go back its as if we haven't left at all.. Like let's say I stopped hanging out with them for a year or so cause of something like school or girlfriend hating them or some stuff like that, I know that if something happens to my relationship with the girlfriend like it didn't work out or my school is done I know that I can go back to these guys like I never left no questions ask.

I want to ask all the people who read this, " DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS LIKE THESE?" you need it..

2001-07-09T06:55:00.000-07:00

Holy I haven't blogged in such a long time. Anyways was-up with my life right now. Nothing much really changed since the last time I blogged. Basically I'm really concentrating with school and nothing else right now. I'm doing pretty good right now averaging around 93% for my first three courses. I got 93% for the Intro to Computers course and then 100% for the Business Skills 1 and then 91% for the operating systems course. Right now I'm taking Systems Analysis and Design. It's really starting to get harder. Lots of reading. One of the Modules, I had to read 94 pages within 1 day. That's way too much. I need to get back in track cause I'm starting to get lazy now. I don't know what it is maybe because it's summer time and there are so much things going on like Ami is here ( Cedric's cousin ) and also we played in the Hoop it up 3 on 3 tournament this week-end. The Conference is coming up too. So much is going on. I don't was-up with summer but it seems like everybody is out and wants to do something every single day. I mean when we were kids that okay because we had nothing else to do, there was no school so nothing but hanging out. But as we get older there is no such thing as a holiday. NO MORE SUMMER BREAKS

2001-06-13T06:55:00.000-07:00

Wow I think this is the first time that I've ever blogged in the morning. See I usually leave my house at 7:00 AM to go meet with my car pool. But I look at my watch and it's only 6:42 AM. I'm 20 minutes early what the heck. It's probably because I slept yesterday from 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Before I hooked up with Ced, Ritch and John, at guess where??????? Yep you know it BREAD GARDEN but this time it's in Richmond. Just drinking away at our refillable coffee for $1.71 and talking about things like relationships, school whatever but we talk about everything. We basically know everything about each other but you know what we still haven't run out of things to say. For a coffee shop there are tons of girls at Bread Garden. WOW! As you can probably tell we are all single now. None of us boys are taken.

Talking about relationships, what makes your relationship a good relationship? I'm just talking about my buddy not me. In a guys perspective I think that when you go out with someone and then you change the way you talk, the way you look at things, it just isn't good. You guys know what I mean. Like let's say the girl get's mad just because the guy hangs out with the boys instead ( for one freakin night ). I mean sorry but we have been friends before your relationship started. that's just stupid. Or you know these relationships (I'M now talking in general) where she know's you smoke before she started going out with you and then when you guys start going out she tells you to stop or else. Come-on get over it, the person knows that you smoked before I can understand this whole not good for you thing but if I could quit I would have already for sure. Anyways got to go so I'll be back laters

2001-06-12T00:51:00.000-07:00

Yep.. shouldn't have had coffee tonight. now I can't freakin sleep. Well I promised myself I wouldn't do it but I am too lazy to study for my exam tomorrow. I'm just going to wing it. We'll see what I get. I feel really bad cause it seems like all my classmates expect me to get the highest mark in the class everytime. And if I do bad tomorrow I feel like I'm letting them down. You know what I mean. Since I'm the class leader I feel like I have a certain responsibility to set the high standards of the class. anyways. Let's hope I do well.

Anyways, yeah I was just going to stay home tonight but then I got bored and since I haven't gone out out since Friday night. I feel that I got the right to go out tonight. Acutally I went out Sunday, to Music Ministry practise but that's not really going out. I hung out with Ced at Bread Garden In Guilford again. Talking about stuff and then Dante hooked up with us. I miss Danta man. The guys' so funny. I don't bug him as much ever since I quit work. Probably because I don't have a lot of daytime minutes anymore on my Cell phone. After Bread Garden, we went to paulo's house where John and Jason were. Played Play Station 2 for a little bit and then I went home. Now I can't sleep.

I'm getting lazy in school now.. I don't like that but that is probably because it's so freakin boring. It's so easy right now. After tomorrow we move on to the next book which is PBS 1. Business Skills... Should also be easy. I can't wait till we actually learn real things. Oh yeah I was playin with Dante's Phone tonight. I am so intrigued with this whole text thing. It's fun I like it eventhough I don't really "text" a lot of people just one or two. But I bet you if I had text then I'd be bored with it. I get bored of things really easy. the only time I ever text people is when I'm with either Genevieve or Dante. or before Kuya Jun at Work. It's so fun. I still don't get all these people getting mad at me just because I put all CAPITAL LETTERS! SARAH ACOSTA! SO YOU DON'T LIKE IT ALL CAPS EH! anyways, now I'm getting sleepy. My eyes ares starting to close little by little. I'm going to go out for a smoke and then sleep.. aights. peace

2001-06-06T22:20:00.000-07:00

You know how people always have that someone where they just worship, well not exactly worship but idolize and have a big crush on eventhough you know you can't have them. I'm talking about movie stars, actors, actress, singers, etc. You know what I mean. LIke an example would be, one of my ex's really has a crush on Tom Cruise. I always wondered who mine was. I always thought it was Katie Holmes from Dawson's Creek. I think she's so hot. but she's not it for me. You guys wanna know who it is: You should go see my wall paper in my computer it's covered with her picture. its RACHAEL LEIGH COOK. She's so hot. Whenever I do get a girlfriend next, man if Rachael Leigh Cook goes up to me and wanted to go out with me. I'll have to say "SEE YAH!" to my girlfriend. Just joking.. I'm just playing around but it is true though. She is so HOT! Young, beautiful. It's kind of cool. Well anyways. just wanted to say that to everybody cause I'm so bored right now at home. I drove my parents to the airport at about 7:00. Now I'm home all alone till next Sunday. Then they are leaving again on June 16th. for the Phils. Then I'll be home alone for 3 weeks. That's pretty sweet. Too bad I don't have a girl.

Phils.. Holy cow I haven't been there in like forever. I think about 8 years maybe my last visit. I don't remember nothing about it. My parents are always like I want to go back and visit. I'll go but I really don't care much about it. I'd rather visit Europe. London was fun for YFC. I want to go to Paris, Spain and others. I lived in the Phils for 12 years of my life. I lived in this subdivision called Tahanan Village in Paranaque. I went to school at Benedictine Abbey School in Alabang. That's about all I remembered. If you ask me where abouts these places are, I have no clue. I kinda remember some stuff but not really. I remembered walking home from school once because I missed the school bus. I mean I miss my cousins. I remember them. anyways..

Some of my friends always wanna have a girl. Like I know someone who can't last without a girl for 3 weeks. I'm just not like that. I really don't care if I have a girl or not. I mean I have too much stuff to do than to be worrying if I have a girl or not. When it comes it comes. I don't go looking for it. Unless if I really really like the girl. Anyways, I just have other priorities like School than to think about girls. Girls, Girls, Girls..... All the stuff I've learned in all my experiences with relationships is something that people always tell us but we never really take it seriously, " Girlfriends/Boyfriends come and go but friends stay forever"

2001-06-06T01:03:00.000-07:00

yep.. I'm starting to get used to this 5:00 AM wake-up times.. I actually went out today. First time since I've been at school that I went out on a week-day. I watched a movie with Ced and Paulo. That new Martin Lawrence movie.. I forgot the title but it was hecka funny. I miss going out on weekdays but gotta concentrate in school right now. I mean I'm freakin paying $15,000 + to go to school here might as well try to do my best. I got my first exam mark today I got 96% 24 out of 25... It was pretty cool. I wanted to get a 100% but it's all good.. I have another exam at the end of the week. So I hope I could do good. So far I've been averaging around 100% to 99% on all of my projects and then I'm pretty happy with this first exam. Got the highest mark in my class. YEAY FOR ME! I'm such a geek in school. I take notes everyday, study when I get home and also study before I go to sleep. Hey I'm sick and tired of working some job that I don't want to be doing. I want to get my career started already. One Year hopefully.. I graduate I think in July next year. I hope.

Wanna know how lame my days are now? It goes like this (USUALLY). Get up 5:00 in the morning. Take a shower and then leave by 6:00. Get to Joyce Station around 6:20-6:30 Am then take the train downtown (FOR FREE) till Waterfront. My school is only 2 blocks away but I get downtown around 6:50AM. So what to do? I usually have a smoke first and then go to the food court of the Sinclair Building and buy 2 hashbrowns from A&W( I USUALLY GET THERE BEFORE THEY OPEN) and then start reviewing my notes from school.. I leave the food court around 7:35 and then start walking to school. Before going inside I usually have 2 more smokes just to get me going for the day. Then I go to class. Do what ever , go for smoke breaks etc. After school depends if anyone wants to study or chill, I usually take the train back to my car and then drive home. Then I try not to sleep cause I have to pick my Mom up around 4:30-5:00. So I pick her up and then go home again. THEN I CAN SLEEP! After my nap I start studying again usually unless if I get distracted with my computer. Then I go to sleep.. EVERYDAY! Pretty Boring Eh! WHAT A GEEK! That is a big difference from what I've been doing the two weeks prior to going to school. IT was all sleep in then go out with Ced, or Genevieve, or Gerard or anybody. I haven't seen Genevieve for almost a week. I was suppose to drive her to this GAW Thing but I was tired so I slept. I was suppose to sleep at her house for the whole week last week cause her parents were gone but then I'll have a longer skytrain ride and I have to wake up even earlier so I didn't .

SO RIGHT NOW I AM REALLY HAPPY THAT I HAVE MY PRIORITIES RIGHT! I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! But I still wish that I didn't leave YFC. It's not the same in Singles. NOT EVEN CLOSE! Basically it's the same old drama story with the YFC but extended way more and more complex. I don't like that. THEY GOSSIP LIKE A MOTHER! I really hate that. I thought that when I went to singles people would be more mature. I DON'T THINK SO!

2001-05-30T01:01:00.000-07:00

yep...Been in school now for a whole TWO DAYS!! yeah still pretty excited. I'm already way ahead of schedule( by 2 days ). I'm all done the 3rd module already and everyone is still in the 2nd one. Yeah... just call me a big time NERD! I've always wanted to be one of them NERDS at school. I mean before whenever I'm struggling in school, I'd look at the nearest Nerd and this person would be so relaxed and stuff. I was like what the heck. what am I doing wrong? I THINK IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE SKIPPING AND NOT READING! so I'M trying to change that. I have so much time in my hands now. My school is from 8AM to 1PM. but since the busses aren't running I need to wake up SO FREAKIN EARLY just to get free parking at Joyce Skytrain Station and then take the train to downtown. I wake up at 5:00 AM and then leave my house at 6:00AM, get to Joyce around 6:20-6:30 (NO TRAFFIC, TOO FREAKIN EARLY) have a smoke while walking to the station. take the train to Waterfront and have breakfast and do more reading. So I get downtown around 6:50.. still 1 hour and 10 minutes to early. I get a lot of reading done there and for some reason I can study in the morning. ( I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BEFORE). Yeah so many chinese people are at the mall at this time... like old people.. no offense just stayin so. but yeah it's already 1:00 in the morning and I need to wake up in about 4 hours so...I'll blog again soon cause I'm always home now... lazy to go out or want to sleep.. okay ... Peace

2001-05-26T02:48:00.000-07:00

yep let me see what is new since I last blogged. I'm in school by this coming monday and also I got cable.... YEAH ... downloading so much stuff.. don't have any space in my hard drive anymore. just came home from the races... I don't think I'll ever get sick of going to the races. there was this mustang that went a 1/4 mile in 8.84 seconds. dang that's fast and the car was street legal. let me compare that to my friend, Ryan, who raced his stock civic hatchback SI '92..... he ran 1/4 mile in 16.27 seconds. that's basically half ... now you guys think that's fast... you people who don't know much about racing and are probably like oh maybe Ryan isn't pushing it.. Yeah right he is... he could kill my car in a race by like 6 car lengths at least.. anyways need to go to sleep... tired it's like almost 3:00 in the am

2001-05-10T00:34:00.000-07:00

Ever notice how I don't blog a lot anymore. It's probably because I haven't cleaned my room and I really don't feel like sleeping here right now. I end up sleeping in the living room in front of the tv. anyways. somebody put a deposit for my car last week and his son said that he will be coming this tuesday to pick it up. Eventhough I really don't want to sell my car, I just want it to get done already. I just want to move on. You know what I mean. I love that car. Lot's of memories good and bad. Let me put it this way. If I didn't buy a car I WILL BE FREAKIN RICH. I wouldn't have so many bills. but I don't regret anything about this car. It's my first car that I can actually call my own. I paid for it, did everything to it oh yeah did I mention PAID FOR EVERYTHING IN IT!! I can't wait for somebody to buy it already. I get to drive my old civic again. I can't believe it's still running. It's lke the energizer bunny, it just keeps going and going. Sometimes I'll check the oil in that car and guess what. There ain't any. it just keeps running. My tires go flat every 4 days. but IT STILL KEEPS RUNNING. anyways, as what Ced and I always say, "It's only for a year" or "Just wait till next year".

OH yeah for all of you guys whoever reads my blog. I'm going back to school in 2 weeks. I can't believe it. I'm actually going back to school. I'm really excited. May 23rd is the orientation and then classes start May 28th. I'm quiting work by this friday. YEAY! 2 MORE DAYS OF WORK TO GO! woo hoo. I won't have any money for 14 months but it's fine with me. As long as I go back to school and then start moving on to my career already.

There just comes a time when a man needs to grow up you know what I mean. (I'm being serious right now). I can honestly say that in these past 2 years, I've grown up a lot. I remember when I turned 19. I felt like I was so grown up already. I never realized how much more growing up I was going to do. I really can't wait till school starts so I can move on to my career. It's just so different now. I can see it in most of us. See I always chill with Cedric at Bread Garden at Guilford in Surrey ( cause we know the people and we usually get free bottomless coffee ), the stuff we talk about is so different than before. you know what we do a lot. Chill at Bread Garden in Guilford. Ced and I go almost everyday. I think we went everyday this week. No we went to Starbucks in North Delta on Monday. ( Ced if you read this you owe me a movie still )

Oh yeah another thing that is so funny. How come it seems like, our circle of friends, seem to go through the same stuff in life as each other. I mean let's talk about my friend who just got out of a serious relationship recently. It seems like everything he went through was exactly the same things I went through with my past relationships. like the break up, why, how , whatever... it was almost exactly like how mine was. it's kinda funny. well now we can laugh about it. Then another buddy of mine says( you know who you are ), " 3 years for sure. maximum I'm getting married" yep same as me again. it's funny how things are the same. What I learned this past few years is that one of the most beautiful things that happens in life is that you have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow. That's what makes life so exciting. It might be bad, good, boring or whatever. It really doesn't matter cause that's what life is all about. I learned a lot about priorities. Like right now I really what to focus on school and getting my career started.

2001-04-27T00:09:00.000-07:00

I got an offer for my car. The guy offered me $10,500 for my car. I think it's a damn good price considering I only bought it for $12,000 about 2 years ago. I told the guy to get his bank stuff (loan) and stuff like that ready. I told him I will still listen to other offers if it comes. if not the car is his. hopefully soon I will be able to sell my car. I just want to get it over with. Okay my car is really high in kilometers. $87,000 in 2 years. that's freaking high.. What the heck did I do to my car? I didn't really think that my bargaining skills is good. But I'm pretty good. I was willing to sell my car last year for $10,000. huh funny how things change. I love my car. It's my first car. I even joke around with my friends that it's my girlfriend. NOBODY ELSE HAD IT! It's not a Honda. I love it. Everybody thinks that my car is a '98 Mazda Protege. but in reality it's a '99 cause I only started driving it 2 years ago. I bought it brand new. I'm gaining about $1,700 by selling it at $10,500. Not bad for my first time ever bargaining. Some guy called me from a dealership ( Burnaby Hyundai) today too. He wants to look at the car. I'll give him a call tomorrow. Then we'll see what happens. The lowest I will go with any offers now is $11,000. let's see my bargaining skills at work again. I'm pretty good at this I should be a salesman.

Oh Yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALDINE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALDINE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU! just imagine I'm singing. Going clubbing on Saturday I think. I can't wait for paintball on Saturday too.

2001-04-25T00:46:00.000-07:00

2001-03-20T22:50:00.000-08:00

OKay I know I've been promising everybody about a new design for my homepage already.. you know what I'm trying too.. It will still take a while... All I'm going to tell you guys is that it will be a drastic change from this one...

I just started to do some stuff so EVERYBODY JUST CHILL..... It's going to be sweet.... I know what I want it to look like.. now it's just a matter of time and effort for bringing it together.... give me a couple of months .. aights... it will take a little bit still....

I'm getting so excited about it... IT'S GOING TO BE HYPE... I'm even thinking of getting my own personal web-site just for it... It's top secret... Nobody knows anything.... hee hee.. I've been bored I didn't go to work the last 2 days.. been on my computer most of the time.. learning stuff..... SO JUST CHILL ... TOP SECRET .... it will come

2001-03-19T00:20:00.000-08:00

Well it's Sunday night.... suppose to go to sleep now but I'm trying to extend the week-end as long as possible. If I go to sleep now... I know that when I wake up there is absolutely nothing to look forward to for the next 5 days. NOTHING BUT STUPID WORK.

Well anyways, went to a SFC General Assembly today. First time I ever went to an SFC General assembly. It's okay... you know what it really reminds me of. How old YFC meetings were before.. probably like 4-5 years ago.. when Melo was still cluster head. When I was in YFC people always tell me how different it is in SFC.. How it's the next step in getting closer to God or in learning more about your personal spirituality. I don't know maybe it was just that General Assembly but it seems so dead. It seemed like there was so much tension in the room.. like everybody was down or fighting or something.. I just didn't feel the POWER! or I don't know how to explain it... I just didn't feel anything. I mean all these things are just my personal observations. It might not be right or not but I get these feelings.. again.. I don't know how to explain it. I just know when something is up.. how people are feeling... I get these feelings all the time... let me see... what are some of my observations ... here they are.. ( again all of this is my own personal observation and I have no clue if there is the slightest truth in it at all okay ).. let's test my ESP... I wish somebody would tell me if it is true or not..

Observations:

1) Something is bugging Mr. John Sangalang... don't know what but something pretty serious is up his bum.. that's for damn sure.. whether it's the whole Trish thing I don't know....
2) RItchie was having lots of fun today that's for sure.. he hasn't been to an assembly for a while and he was his normal crazy self... which is the Ritchie that we know and love.
3) Arnon wasn't feeling very happy again for the last two days... Don't know why... I have a feeling , but I'm not sure so I don't want to say anything.

these are only some of the observations that I get the feelings off.. If it's true or not ... I really have no Idea... there are more "feelings" I got but I don't want to say them cause it might get me in trouble.. I really rely on these feelings a lot.. 9 times out of 10 it's right. I think it's one of God's gift to me..I don't know anyways..

Back to talking about SFC, boy I thought there was drama in YFC... I used to call it " Days in the lives of YFC" like the soaps.. but the drama in SFC is DANG!!.. it's like 3 times as much as YFC and more.. I thought I wouldn't see anymore of that so called drama.. boy was I wrong...

I don't know whether I'm just being biased or what.. but I really think that YFC has reached a really high level in their commitment to God and the community.. I'm not saying their perfect but the way people talk about God and stuff in YFC.. is just totally awesome.. In SFC.. it really reminds me of how the old YFC's were.. when we were just starting out... no offense.. it's just my own personal observation.. I don't know if it's just because this is the first meeting of the year... and everybody is so down and stuff.. but I just didn't feel anything.. The talk was good by Kuya Jun...He was all talking about what was it again.... 4 elements of something ... of how to reach.. I don't know... but it was talking about new life,, and other stuff.. basically like leaving your old lifestyle ... and trying to turn to a more Christ like life... I don't know..
It was cool.. that was the first talk I've heard in like almost two years.. it was awesome..

You know what I always think about... If I made a really big mistake when I stepped down from being cluster head... I know I didn't .. cause I know that God has something special in store for me in SFC. When I stepped down.. I really thought that I will be able to go to the next level of serving God.. nope I guess not.. I think I went from serving God fully to nothing at all.. to serving my Car... and now slowly it's starting to come back... I'm just going to say this... "It's not the same at all, not even close to YFC"

Oh wow it's been almost 1 month since I blogged. Wow that is so long. I guess I haven't really been staying home recently so I haven't had a chance to blog in a while. If I do get home.. It's already too late. I'm too lazy to log on to the computer and stuff. oh well. I re-organized my room this past week-end. I finally have a real computer desk in my room, no more of that little desk thing. Getting ready for school and stuff. I really hope I get in. Not a lot of things have changed since I last blogged. I'm just very tired.. Trying to sleep early this week.. I haven't gone out yet since Sunday. WOW! My car hasn't moved in a while. It's still clean. Drove John to the airport on Sunday. Went clubbing again on Saturday ( 2 weeks in a row ) was-up with that.. I don't like that. Too much money... all though Denise , Danny's girl, told me a way to get VIP in most of the clubs in the lower mainland and it's also free cover.. I WON'T NEED IT.. CAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO GO CLUBBING TILL NEXT YEAR!!!! i hope anyways.. I don't even like clubbing.. I'd rather watch tv at home or at somebody else's house. The only reason why I went clubbing the past two weeks was cause it was Sylvia's ( last week) and then Sarah's (this week) birthday... First time I ever went clubbing with the SFC's.. It wasn't like how I expected it.. I thought the SFC's would be more crazy or wilder than we are.. nope.. most of the time they were just sitting down... it's probably because their girls were there.. Arnon wasn't the same Arnon I know from before when I always see him clubbing like 4 years ago...

I don't think Sarah had a lot of fun at the club.. she was just always either by herself or with her work friends. I thought the SFC's would always be with her but they were never really dancing with her..
SArah sorry I couldn't go to your house party thing on Sunday.. I was too lazy.. Dante called me... but I fell asleep.. SOrry... next birthday for sure...

OH well... I'm getting too lazy... I promised a redesign for my homepage.. but I'm too lazy right now.. I'm still learning how to use Flash.. so you all just chill and it'll come eventually...aights.. so check you guys later

2001-02-22T00:57:00.000-08:00

Okay I haven't blogged in such a long time. You guys want to know why. Cause I feel like I've been absolutely doing nothing with my life. Recently my days have been very repetitive. Wake up, Go to work, go home, either sleep or chill with friends., go home late, go to sleep late, then wake up again. Pretty Boring eh. I feel like I don't do anything anymore. That will change. I HATE WORK!!!! like so much. I can't stand it. I can't wait to go back to school.. Hopefully it will be this September. Pray for me guys aight. I applied already and tomorrow I have to call the admission lady to give her my application ID and stuff. After that everything is all done and it's all up to them to accept me into the program or not. I can't wait. I really really really really hope that I get in school this September. I wish, I wish..... If I do I already have a plan. Since the Civic's insurance runs out on July and my parents told me that we aren't going to insure that car anymore. Then I can quit work by then and take a month off to relax and have fun and then get focused to go to school in September. I really hope this plan goes through. That is the only thing that is on my mind right now. I am so focused on going back to school that I can't think of anything else. IE. Girls, Girls, Girls, will have to wait... You know what I'm sayin...

Well chilled with John and Ced tonight went to Fresco's ( a place I haven't eaten in a long time, I think around 1 year, we used to eat there almost everyday probably like 4 years ago ). I was just going to stay home tonight to rest but my parents have a household here and the whole house was too crazy. So I had to get out. Oh yeah, Melo also showed us his presentation for his Graduation tomorrow. It's so cool.. He made some robot thing like in Beast Wars.. It's so sweet.. The details of the gun shooting and the bullets flying out of the gun is awesome. The other thing he made was some spy thing where he was searching for some chip.. It was cool too.. Melo looks like some Kungfu chinese person with a paintball gun. It's awesome .. it even has a little bit of Gone in Sixty Seconds in it. I love it. Melo's new computer is the shizz. 19 inch monitor, 1 ghz, 256 mb ram ( 1 chip).. ati video card.. has all the programs in his computer..

2001-02-12T14:23:00.000-08:00

Have you guys ever tried that Dance Dance Revolution for the Sega Dreamcast?? I tried it yesterday at Ritchie's house... damn is it ever a work out... At first we tried the slow beats.... we were like fine it's okay right... then we tried this thing called "Paranoia" HOLY COW! Talk about fast .... it was like some house music... and the arrows were just everywhere... for all of you who don't know what this Dance Revolution thing is ... it's a game where you can use this dance pad that is on the floor with 4 arrows...up, down, left and right... then during the game there are a bunch of arrows that go up on the TV screen.. as the arrows go up you are suppose to step on the certain arrow... sounds easy??? yeah right.... you got to try it.... I think I lost like 3 lbs... doing it..... I also checked out some tournaments from the internet and damn those guys go crazy.... they don't even look at the screen... they memorized all the steps.. some people are jumping on top of the railling.... some people go in two's and they do some crazy performance while still stepping on the right arrows... wow.... what the heck is the world going through..... there was this one guy.. doing the gansta boogie to it and then he was throwing up gang signs after..... and there was this one guy basically humping the maching while doing it... pretty crazy........

2001-02-08T23:43:00.000-08:00

Well chilled at Bread Garden again today... with John and Arnon.... Suppose to have some bowling fellowship thing with SFC but Arnon phoned me and said it was cancelled so we just hooked up there.. it was nice talking to Arnon about our household and SFC stuff.. cause I really miss serving and doing something for this community.... I basically went from meetings almost everyday to 1 meeting every 2 months... that will dry up a person really bad.... I was at John's house today playing the guitar and then we started singing these YFC/SFC songs... I didn't even remember the chords anymore or the words... to Broken the Chains and some other songs..... I was like dang what the heck.....

oh yeah, IT'S OVER!!

2001-02-08T07:52:00.000-08:00

Okay my sleeping time just got screwed up again... I slept after work at around 6:30 last night and woke up at around 1:30 in the morning.... ate dinner at around 2:00 in the morning and then watched TV till 3:00.... then I was like tring to sleep but nope... can't sleep..... I think I eventually fell asleep around 4:30 am.... but stupid work.. I had to wake up at 6:30 for work..... So I am up too early now so I have time to blog before work.... I really really hate work.... I wish I could just stay at home and sleep and watch TV the whole day.... I also want to go back to school.... oh yeah I'm also back into this work out routine thing..... so it was kind of cool.... My goal is to lose 40 lbs... so far it's only been 5 lbs.. but it's okay I've only been working out for like 3 days.... 35 lbs to go.... it's easy to lose 5 lbs. though so I'm not really proud of myself yet... cause my weight changes around 5 lbs. almost everyday anyways.. when I reach the 10 lbs.. lost ... then I'll be proud of myself.... but got to go to work now so have fun today everybody...

2001-02-07T01:21:00.000-08:00

I watched this movie today....called Traffic... It's a good movie.... It's all about the drug wars between the US and Mexico... IT's pretty good.. it was about 2 hours and 20 minutes long but it was good.. It makes you think just how screwed up the world is right now and how corrupt it is too.. but yeah that's it I'm getting sleepy ... got to wake up early tomorrow...

Oh yeah one more thing, I got this page tonight around 10:30 ish..... while I was at the movie... I couldn't really tell who it was or what it was.. I think it sounds like a little kid saying I love you or something like that.. at least that's what John told me it sounds like... but yeah I'm just babbling I'm getting really sleepy....

I'd recommend the movie "traffic" it's really interesting.... don't watch it late at night though when you have to wake up early in the morning the next day.. watch it when you have nothing to worry about afterwards.... it's a really long, long movie.... I watched it at North Van... I still had to go to Burnaby and then drive all the way to Richmond still.. I got home pretty fast though... Let me see.. the movie ended at around 12:30.... I got home around 1:10 ... that's freakin fast considering I had to all the way back to Burnaby... but yeah just thought I wanted to share to you guys my driving skills.. you know what I'm saying...... I'm just playing

2001-02-05T23:54:00.000-08:00

okay I need to blog about this certain topic.. How do you know if a person likes you or not? This is a question which I'm sure people each have their own different idea's and comments... Usually you can tell that a person likes you if you flirt with them and then they flirt back with you right..... or is it... what about if you flirt but then this person doesn't flirt back... does this mean that this person doesn't like you.. not necessarily... maybe this person just isn't comfortable with you yet and even though he/she likes you he/she still doesn't want to show it... Tough question eh..... I know all you cocky people out there will be like.. you just know... do you really?? Nope not exactly.... Eventhough you hear so much stuff from what other people tell you if this person does have feelings for you or not, you still can't be really sure unless if you talk to this person personally right..... I guess to answer my own question... the only time you can really tell if a person likes you or not is to actually ask this person if he/she does...... wow I never realized I would answer my own question..... oh well... cause with my past relationships whenever we'd talk about how we knew if the other person likes us or not, that is always the answer.. eventhough people would tell us that " oh this person likes you...." , " this person for sure likes you " ... I guess that's one of the fun things that you do when you go into a relationship.... The "getting to know each other" stage... yeah you all know what I'm talking about... that is pretty fun... that's when you test your boundary's whether it be physically or mentally.... oh well... I just thought I would blog about this certain topic... okay... well check you guys out later

2001-01-29T21:56:00.000-08:00

Holy I havne't blogged for such a long time... I guess I haven't been staying home a lot recently.. Well we sang for Gee's dad this past Saturday night.. it was kind of cool... For people who really don't know how to sing that well I think we did pretty good... it was pretty good I think... we were kind of uptight cause we don't really know the song that well... plus we were all wearing suit's.. oh well... that was cool... plus I got to hang around with the boys recently... I haven't seen all of us together for such a long time.. I see John and Ced regularly but I haven't seen Gee or Ritch or even Paulo for a while...

Speaking of Paulo.. I went around with him and Ryan looking at car parts... I want a new engine for my car.. damn you Ryan man.. Your getting me all back into car mode again.. I can't wait till the weather starts getting warmer then I can put my rims back on... we went to this place called "Next Level".. The guy there showed us his car... It was a Civic SI.. but then he put a b16A I think on it.. A del sol engine from Japan.. it was turbo charged.. he said he took it to the track and it went quarter mile in 13.0 seconds.. that's pretty damn fast.. he said he raced one of Ryan and Paulo's friends car which is a 300zx.. turbo charged.. he said he beat it.. so that's pretty damn fast.....

what else happened this week-end.... oh yeah I finally installed my system... took me 2 days to do it.. cause I couldn't figure it out... all it was .... was the fuse that I bought wasn't good enough and the amp was basically burning it.. like literally burning it.. when I checked it out .... the amp holder was burned... so I had to buy a new fuse and a new fuse box from future shop... my system is pretty damn loud... WHen I turn it all the way up.... with my z-enhancer thingy... My rear view mirror shakes so much that it actually moves out of place... my ear hurts too when I turn it up that things feel like it's going to come out of my ear...

what else can I write about... oh yeah.. I really need to get started with this school thing.. I promise I will finish applying by the end of this week....I PROMISE!!

2001-01-23T23:25:00.000-08:00

Yey.. I got new subs and a new amp for my car.. I'm going to install it on Saturday... I'm so excited... Right now.. I'm using the subs with the box in my room... My room sounds pretty loud right now.. anyways...

Was-up with Bread Garden.. it seems like I've been hanging around Bread Garden a lot recently... Yesterday Ced, John and I met up at Bread Garden at Guilford... Just drinking our coffee... ( or tea for those guys )talking about everything... It's so funny how people can change right before your eyes... Like the mentality or the way they think can change.. I think were all freakin old now... that's why... Before our main conversation topics would be about Playstation, or "check out that chick" or did you see the game last night ... Now it's harsh real life things... our talks range from relationships, school, future & moving out plans ands stuff like that... IT's so funny... and everything I buy now too is kind of based for when I eventually move out which is hopefully in the very near future..

Oh yeah. .Gee's dad's party thing is this Saturday.. We are suppose to sing for him as a surprise... a song called "Imagine" whatever that is... shhhhh .. don't tell anybody... I don't think Gee's dad reads this blog anyways... but yeah ... if Gee wasn't so freakin lazy..... LLLLAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYY.... we could have practised long time ago but no we have to wait till the last minute... Oh yeah Gee was-up dude.. I haven't seen you in weeks... but anyways gots. to go.. getting tired..

2001-01-22T00:56:00.000-08:00

Okay so this was my day today... Ritchie and I went to go watch one of Jackie Chan's kungfu movie today.. It was called Projecet A.. It was pretty good but that is not the story... it was a pretty good movie.. but after watching it we got hungry so we decided to go eat Chinese food.. I was like.. let's try something different. we always eat at Hon's... but I really don't like the service there.. So we decided to eat at this Chinese restaurant ( or so we thought it was) called Good Food Restaurant.. Obviously by calling your store Good food.. it should have good food shouldn't it.. We walked in ... there was absolutely no customers inside.. we sat down and the guy gave us menu's ... I was so hungry.. I was going to order like fried rice, some chicken, chow mein or something... but while looking at the menu... there was no chinese food there.. I mean the store was pure chinese.. the place even looked like a chinese restaurant.. but no.. they had spaghetti, some steak even eggs .. for breakfast.. I was like what the heck.. but then we were pretty hungry so we decided to order.. We both ordered this combo meal for like $9.00 .. it had soup, steak (Ritchie got pork chops), dessert and garlic bread.. we were like fine that's cool.. that's pretty cheap.. then the soup came .... guess what it was... It was like Chunky soup which was watered down... It was beef stew in Chunky soup.. I swear it was...... what the heckk... then our main dish came.. yeah right... nope... my steak had some sauce on top of it which basically looked like puke... it looked like the sauce was the same as the soup that I just drank... there was half a slice of tomato, some corn and peas.. a bowl of rice and this so called steak with some puke sauce on it.. what the heck... but we ate it.. trying so hard not to laugh.. cause we don't want some chinese guy pulling some kungfu stuff on us... but yeah anyways, we still had dessert.. yay for us... nope.. the waiter was like yeah it's ice cream for dessert.. fine.... but nope it was homemade jello with coconut sprinkles on top.... what the heck... I could have just stayed home and cooked... would have tasted way better.. but yeah that was our day today..

What else did I do today... oh yeah we picked up John from the airport.. he must feel really special.. 3 cars picking him up from the airport.. me, Ritch and Ced... after the airport we were all anxious to hear John's stories from Edmonton so we all decided to go Bread Garden after.. John had some good stories from us.. that's all I have to say about that..

2001-01-19T22:55:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently.. but I'm finally feeling good enough to go out... eventhough my throat is still sore, at least my energy is up already... I am very bored here at home right now... oh yeah expect some new designs coming up in the next couple of weeks for this home-page.. finally got my hands on Adobe Photoshop... Finally got it for my computer.. I have a couple of ideas in my mind about how I want this homepage to look.. We'll see hopefully I don't get lazy...

2001-01-16T23:31:00.000-08:00

Holy Cow my throat is still sore.... can't believe it... I feel like there's something stuck to my throat or something.. but yeah John's leaving tomorrow... I just want to say have lots of "FUN"..... but don't do anything I wouldn't do... Oh yeah say was-up to Jen, Mel, Mads, and all the other peeps we met up there aights.. It's probably still snowing there so better bring your thernal undy's... you can't survive by wearing your whitey tighty's... you know what I'm sayin.... I know your gonna miss us here and the party's cause "Ain't no party like a west coast party cause an Edmonton party ain't shiss" Oh yeah speaking of Edmonton.. Maleria called my house today.. Good thing I didn't answer.. she left a messege.. damn.. But yeah John dude have fun in E-town and make sure to give me a call when I'm going to pick you up on Sunday.. and you better buy me a pasalubong ,, I want a better cowboy hat...

Anyways back to blogging.. got a new system for my room today from Ritchie's boss.. it's aights... I'm happy didn't spend much money... connected 2 extra speakers to it already.... Tomorrow I might buy something else we'll see.... I'm finally gonna get a real computer desk too ... So I'm happy... I want this stupid ass sore throat to go away already.. I hate it... but yeah got to go getting lazy okay dokey

2001-01-14T22:53:00.000-08:00

This whole week-end was a waste of time.. I was sick the whole week-end.. today was the first day that I am actually feeling a bit better.. and now I have to go to work tomorow. yuckk.. The only good thing that happened this whole week-end is that my room is clean.. I was so bored at home that I actually cleaned my room today. I'm getting my new system on tuesday.. I'm excited.. I can finally hook up my computer to an amp and new speakers.. yeah..

How come you can never stop thinking of new stuff to buy? I mean there are so much things I want to buy right now. A TV, DVD, whole new system, Laptop( for all my music stuff), printer, table, a new desk, a new bed, a bean bag, new cell phone, a new cordless phone for my room, etc. etc... if I keep going the server of this blogger thing will get messed up again. I know you people know what I mean.. There is always something to buy.. but always no money to buy it with.. Actually there is no way I'm missing work tomorrow cause It's pay day... woo hoo... too bad I have to blow off most of my paycheck paying off my stupid bills.. I bet even if I have lots of money.. there still won't be enough money to buy all the stuff I want to buy. why is that? You know why cause people are never satisfied with what they have.. that's so true.. if people like myself would only look at things in a different perspective.. I'll give myself as an example.. Instead of saying I want a new TV, a new system, new bed, more computer stuff... I should be sayinig... Hey I have this brand new computer I just bought a few months ago, and I have this big screen tv in the living room downstairs that is basically mine cause no one else uses it.. or I have this nice big comfortable bed... You know what I mean.. but yeah this is getting long so guys think about it.... aights....

2001-01-13T23:53:00.000-08:00

I'm sick and tired of my house.. I haven't gone out of my house for I think around 4 days now I think.. I am sick.. I'm feeling a little bit better now. I acutally went out today for a little bit. Went to Ritchie's house.. met up there with John, Ritch and Victor.. Just chilled there for a bit and then went home again cause I am still kind of sick.. Still have a sore throat and colds.. My fever's gone though.. I think... hopefully anyways. I feel like crap.. but at least I can taste my food now.. I cooked at Ritchie's house and I can finally taste the food.. yeah for me!! woo hoo!! I think I got Cedric sick.. I heard he was feeling sick today.. that's what they get for coming over to my house while I'm sick and staying in the same room with me for 3 hours.. haha...

if Ced did get sick ... that's the second time that I got him sick... when I was in Grade 11 or 12 I don't remember.. and Ced was in grade 10 I think... I got chicken pox.. but before all those crazy spots came out, I remember it was a thursday evening.. and we always play basketball every thursday nights.. I wasn't feeling very good already but I had to play basketball.. and Ced was there playing too and then the very next night... I woke up and looked in the mirror. and what do I see spots all over my freakin body... then I turned to my dad and said, " Dad, guess what I'm not going to school today.. I think I have chicken pox.." I remember that so well... IT was the week before spring break that year.. and so I had chicken pox that week.. then next week came, YEAH SPRING BREAK, and guess who got chicken pox!! Yep.. it was Ced... He was sick for the whole spring break I remember that... haha... too bad for you Ced... hee hee..... just joking man you know where boys and shiss....

2001-01-12T14:18:00.000-08:00

I'M SICK.... I hate being sick.. the only good part of being sick is that I get to miss work.. I hate work.. I hate waking up and then your body just feels like crap. and also I had steak for lunch.. It would have been good.. too bad I can't taste anything. JENILEE, YOU GAVE ME YOUR FREAKIN FLU... I hvaen't gone for a smoke yet and it's already 2:13 in the afternoon.. pretty good eh.. I'm going for a smoke soon though I'm just doing some stuff for Ritch in my computer. I'm tired... okay see you guys later

2001-01-11T01:10:00.000-08:00

Good Day today..... I checked out some school today after work and then I chilled with John, Ced, and Gee.... At first we were just chillin at Ced's house playing video games, sleep, eat... stuff like that... oh yeah... that's Tita Ogie for the food.. that was good... we had some longanisa, some sinigang thing, some chicaron thing.. that was awesome.. but yeah that's not the story...

After getting bored of playing video games (NHL HOCKEY) for hours, and I mean hours, we needed to go for a smoke... so we decided to go to Bread Garden in Guilford... We were just having coffee, smoke and stuff like that and we were just talking.. It's funny how our conversations now are so different from what we talk about before... we were talking about life, our plans and how lazy we are and how it's really time to get our life back on track... like getting our career started and stuff like that.. before all we would talk about are girls, girls, and more girls.... don't get me wrong.. we still talk about ladies.. and people we like and stuff but now... we were talking about future plans, relationships, past relationships, education, parents etc...

At first we were talking about stuff that we regret doing like GETTING A STUPID CREDIT CARD (EVIL!!!!!!!) , and other personal stuff like that... then we started talking about future stuff.. that was kind of cool.... about past/current relationships.. even kids... that's pretty crazy eh.... I mean it's not like we don't know everything about each other already but I don't know I like my day today... Gee got another earring yesterday...

Hopefully I could go to school by this coming fall ... I really hope so... I'm sick and tired of this stupid ass work... We'll see what happens... oh yeah Ced thanks for the coffee and Gee thanks for driving.. well getting very tired now.. I woke up at 2:30 early this morning and I haven't slept since.. IT's like 1:15 am.... I need my sleep.. gotta wake up in 5 hours... I missed hanging out with the boys...

2001-01-10T02:46:00.000-08:00

My sleeping habits are all screwed up... It's like 2:30 in the morning and I just woke up... I slept at around 7:00 pm and I just woke up now.. I can't sleep now I have to wake up at 6:30 to go to work... I need to change that.. Every time I stay home this always happens ... I don't like that...

I was watching hockey today... Mario L. 5th game I think... he scored 2 goals.. this guy is just absolutely amazing.. I think he has like 7 goals in 5 games... 16 points in 5 games.. something like that.. if he keeps his point streak up he's scheduled to score 130 points in half the season... now that's good.. I think the NHL really needs this right now.. It's been pretty boring lately.. No real superstars in the league right now... I mean there is Bure, Federov, Yzerman, Sakic and etc.... but you know what they aren't Mario... they don't have the Charisma, skill level that Mario has.. I mean watching the game today you can just feel it... everytime Mario touches the puck the whole crowd just cheers so loud... and the penguins weren't even at home.. they were at Boston... THis guy is just amazing.. The only person I know that did that to the crowd was Pavel Bure when he first came into the league with the canucks... but he sucks now... he's still my favorite player but he sucks now though... oh yeah I'm making my prediction.. Jaromir Jagr is going to win the scoring title in the NHL. if Mario keeps playing like this... Jagr plays on the same line as he is .. he'll get the points for sure...

What else is new for today.... oh yeah suppose to hook up with Gee and John today but "I'm lazy" I'll hook up tomorrow.. those fools went shopping today.. Ge-rrraaaarrrdd ( the way Tita says it) got a new pager... he just hooked it up yesterday.. finally it'll be a lot easier to call that fool... cause there is no point in calling his house ... he never answers his phone anyways... to get a hold of Gee you just go to his house Rev up your engine really loud in front of his house and then he'll go outside... wierdo... heehee...

I NEED A VACATION... I really do... I hate work... work sucks... waking up every freakin morning go to work.. I mean the pay is okay I don't mind that part ( yeah payday on the 15th, woo hoo I can finally buy that jacket I wanted)..... drive around the whole day and then go home and go out.. that's how my days go... pretty boring... I want to get out of Vancouver.... I'm sick of this place kind off.. I want to go visit Phils... I haven't been there in a while... I think around 6 years or 7 years maybe.. I miss my cousins.. I don't have any relatives here... The boys and I are planning to go there in a couple of years.. hopefully we can... we'll see...

what's coming up? I think they want us to perform for Gee's dad on his birthday party thing... we need to start practising.. I think it'll only be me, Gee and john... I heard Ced and Ritch are planning to go down to Cali for that week-end.. Not sure though...

2001-01-09T00:48:00.000-08:00

You know what I really have the most fun when I do absolutely nothing... I mean like the past two days all I have been doing is chillin at somebody's house and when I go home I feel like it was an awesome day.. I just chilled with Genevieve, Geraldine and John and also Gee.. Did absolutely nothing... oh yeah we watched the American Music Awards or something like that.. I think that's what's it's called... but yeah I don't understand how ladies don't think Britney Spears is pretty... I think she is so beautiful.. When someone talks about white, blonde girl a picture of Britney pops up in every guys head... No i'm not drooling or anything... I still think Joey from Dawson's Creek is prettier... she has a more innocent look to her.. I like that.. I also like Lil Bow wow...

But yeah going on to another topic... I was watching TV today ( skipped work again ) and I came upon this music video with those 0-town fools.. I believe it was called liquid something.. I don't remember but those guys suck like Shiss.. the only reason why they are popular is because of that show Making the band or Building the band or something...

Oh yeah I have another dilemma in my life.... let me ask you guys a question... if somebody is seeing someone.. like seeing each other does that mean that it is off limits for everybody else.. does that mean that this person is already taken and is off limits...or not... I'm don't know.. all my friends are telling me that "no it's not" but then I have this phobia of going for somebody elses girl cause of past experience.. I don't know.. I guess we'll just see what happens.... don't know...

I know one thing for sure "ARCHIE'S DA BOMBEST!!" haha

2001-01-08T01:37:00.000-08:00

Yeah it's fixed I can blog again.... I'm tired... I went to Seattle this week-end to drive my friends cousin to the airport.. We went crazy shopping dang.. Why is it so much cheaper down in the states than it is up here? I mean I bought a bunch of stuff and all I spent was $60 US.. Let me see what did I buy.... I bought a fleece sweater for $14, a nice formal shirt at some outlet store for $10, another shirt thing for $6, and Ced's cousin, Jacque, gave me a Gap sweater.. oh yeah I want to buy this GAp jacket it was $70 US... good thing I didn't have any money left or else I would have bought that too.. I'll just buy it here next paycheck... it was sweet... okay that doesn't total $60.. what else did I spend my money on.. oh yeah IVAR's.. hehe... I love their Clam Chowder and also that Corn Dog place next to IVAR's at BellisFair... Food's expensive though... a Combo at IVAR's cost around $8 US .. dang that's like buying 3 packs of Smokes... but yeah it was pretty cool to get out of Vancouver and to a different place. Went around downtown Seattle looking for stuff to do.. but ended up in some Japanese Restaurant.. We were like it's okay something different ... I ordered some CAlamari thing.. it was like around let's say 15 pieces ( now that's small ) it cost me $10.. US... crazy eh... Went back to Vancouver yesterday.. Suppose to go to Wilbur's party but I fell asleep didn't wake up till 5:00 in the morning today... that was a long sleep...

Anyways, how's my life going on now?? It's pretty basic... nothing special going on... my sister went back to Toronto last Friday... She's in some step dance crew and they have a web-site www.mochacrew.com if you guys want to check it out.. It's pretty cool... We have no more visitors for a little while... Good thing .. so I can catch up on my sleep and also start working out again.. We've had visitors for the past 2 months I think around there.. very tired... been going out till late every night...

Oh yeah another thing.. was-up with the technology nowadays... I mean with Cell Phones now and this text thing... a bunch of the SFC people have this... when ever I'm with someone with text I end up using it.. I'm actually getting addicted to it but I still don't know what the point is to this whole text outrage.. I mean why not just talk to the person....I don't know... I mean I love texting people whenever I can.. I mean I love texting one person whenever I can.. hee hee... and also one more thing about this Cell phones... with this new Nokia phone.. people can harsh supe it up.. you could buy blinking antenna's, download different rings, faceplates, graphics and stuff... I don't see a point to all of this... I mean it's only a phone guys... It's only a phone.... I could understand suping up cars... to go faster and stuff but Cell phones.. give me a break...

What is growing up all about?? I mean you go through life and then you make mistakes and you are suppose to learn from them right... I mean that's how you become a better person right... IT's like playing basketball.. You try to do some crazy cross-over or something and then you get burned.. then you'll learn never to do it again.. it's like life let's say there was this person who long time ago did something really nasty like steal his bestfriends girl.. then this person should learn never to do that again right.. okay this person was me as; a lot of you people know.. but yeah now eventhough there is somebody that I kinda, very kinda like (okay maybe I just think she's a good person and she is pretty) but she ain't single.. as much as I'd like to do something I really can't ... I just can't ... what is this?? Am I growing up or something... wow I think I am.. but yeah.. I don't know... I just can't anymore maybe cause of the past experience I am just really being paranoid or something... I mean I wouldn't want my girlfriend to be doing something with another guy right... I don't know I'm just very thing.... oh yeah oh well..... lot's of women

Another thing on my mind which is kinda connected... what is more important .... friends or ladies... actually it's a very easy answer.. friends.... right... Again there's that old phrase " Girls come and go but Friends stay forever" a thing I've heard so many times in my life... for me I'd rather stay friends with someone than have a girl but a little thing beside it.. You know what I mean.... I'm not sure if I'm making any sense at all... but yeah... I decided to stay away from situations like that... whenever situations like this occurs.. I just stay away... it's not like I don't want to fight for a lady... not with my boys.. you know what I mean... not to sound gay or anything but I do "love" (that's gay) the boys... i would never ever do anything that would jepardize my friendship with them... you know what I mean....

Team Swollen 4 life ... throw it up!!!

I haven't blogged in such a long time cause my computer is too slow.. I am currently at Ritchie's house and We are just waiting for Andrew to get to the CFC office for us to get the speakers and mixer for the dance tomorrow.. I'm not really that excited about the dance... I am excited that I'm helping Ritchie out to DJ this thing.. Well gots to go.. I'll write again later on

Have you guys ever had a time where you guys tried so hard to get something but you harsh feel like your hitting a brick wall? then all of a sudden when you feel like giving up and you feel like it's totally hopeless all of a sudden the wall doesn't seem so hard after all... You know what I mean.. you guys probably don't but I can't tell you guys the whole story cause i really don't feel like sharing my secrets to the whole world... Anywayz, life is so good right now.. i really feel so happy right now... I have been working out recently.. For like 3 days straight.. I hope that I could keep it up and not be lazy cause My target is to lose around 40 pounds.... then I'll be happy.. I'm not going to shave my little go-tee thing until I do... We'll see... i hope I could keep it up.... but yeah other than that i am also feeling happy about something else... I serve in this ministry called Couples for Christ and I have been with the Youth For Christ for about 7 years now and I recently stepped down as cluster head.. I really felt that that was the worst decision of my life... i feel like my life is going downhill from there.. all of a sudden i'm not happy anymore and stuff like that.. but this past week end I went to this camp for Singles for Christ called SWR1... it was really good ... it made me realize how much I missed serving God and singing all those songs. I'm still not completely sold on this SFC thing but at least now I kind of made the first step into going in to it.. I just feel like there is something missing in my life ever since I stepped down as cluster head.. I haven't had a worship in like 5 months or so... I have been letting other people decide on why I should serve or how i should serve.. what I have been forgetting is that God always have to be the center of my life and as long as God's in my mind I know that I will be okay.... Wow I haven't talked like this in such a long time... i will always love YFC.. I can honestly say that I'm inlove with YFC and nobody can take that away from me.... but it's time for me to see what SFC has in store for me.. I know it's God's plan and I will just let Him do his thing and I will follow what ever He wants... Okay ... check you guys later..

2000-11-24T20:24:00.000-08:00

Well my first real blog posting... Let me see what can I say in this thing.. You know what I miss the boys.. I haven't seen any of them for a little bit. I think that's what I'm going to do tonight. We have gone from hanging out everyday to being lucky to see each other 3 times a week. Everybody's been so lazy recently. I'm also talking about myself. I've been sick too this whole week and I'm still kind of recovering from it. I've been staying at home relaxing finishing of my birthday present for my mom.. I'm not even done yet eventhough her birthday past already.. Anyways getting back to the topic. I miss the boys.. This week I didn't see Gee, John probably a couple of times, Ced I don't think I've seen him since last week-end. Ritch, I saw a couple of times, and then Paulo, I haven't seen in ages. Who I have seen a lot recently is the Guerrero Family. I am one of those guys who I don't really care what I'm doing as long as it is something I want to do.. You know what I mean.. I could be doing absolutely nothing, even just sitting there. But as long as I am with people I want to hang out with I'm having lots of fun. There are things I really don't like to do.. Going clubbing... It's okay.. I mean I'll go once in a while when I feel like it or if it is a special occasion. Most of the time when we do go clubbing all we do there is sit, smoke, drink, smoke, sit, smoke, get up and dance of a little bit, sit , smoke, drink, more smoking.. Woo hoo so much fun eh.. I love going clubbing when I'm out of town. It is just a whole different atmosphere. You know what I'm saying.. Well anyways, I'm just babbling now.. So stay tuned for some more blogs aights.

2000-11-23T23:15:00.000-08:00
