thanks Pastor Lo & Auntie Sally =)

yesterday i was at church for way too long, 7 hours! i had a mini break/vacation last night with the Lo's :) Auntie Sally cooked a delicious meal; we had rice cakes (KOREAN rice cakes!! haven't had those since last christmas, and they really are oh-so-good mmmm) they kept on feeding me, we had these yummy redbean dessert cakes and then tea, "China's Famous Tea" (seriously!) they even gave me some to take home, cuz i'm pretty much tea-deprived out here in rez. THEN, we looked at all their photo albums, and all i could say was wow! it's so weird seeing Pastor Lo and Auntie Sally in their prime, at OUR age!! hanging out, being goofy, and having fun with all their friends.. which for the most part were many our parents (i.e. Jon Watt's parents, Andrew's parents, and the list goes on and on)!! its just so weird :P and then they showed me their wedding pictures :) and ohh, how beautiful they both looked. looking over at them, they had the starry-eyed look, both were reminiscing on the past, those happy memories of their youth. ya, they were telling me how ccf has seen so many married couples..even Pastor Lo and Auntie Sally met through there! its just kinda cool though that we RIGHT now are at the prime of our lives.. every single picture we take is a memory captured forever. i wonder how strange it will feel 25+ years from now when i look back to this era in my life. i hope i have no regrets . . .

There is Life

You hear the cries and see past the lies; (Dm Bb F)
You know the weak, they’re falling so deep. (Am Dm)
They run so fast the world’s a blur, (Bb F)
Only to look back and find that they are (Am)
Drowning, (Dm)
They’re Burning, (Bb)
They’re Dying, (Gm)
They’re Dead. (A)

They walk so stubbornly with no shame, (Dm Bb F)
Mocking and Scoffing your glorious name. (Am Dm)
The waves of this world are pulling them down, (Bb F)
Lord stretch your hands out because they are (Am )
Drowning, (Dm)
They’re Burning, (Bb)
They’re Dying, (Gm)
They’re Dead. (A)

Yet out of darkness, there is light; (D A A/Bb)
Out of Tears and sorrow you’ve brought joy for tomorrow. (Bm G)
And out of emptiness, there is completeness; (D A)
‘Cause now there is life where once there was death, (Bm G)
You stretched out your hand to the hopeless, (D/F# A)
You picked us as the chosen elect, (Bm G)
Yes, You granted us life in the face of death. (D/F# G)

So now there’s dancing, (D/F#)
There’s laughing, (G)
There’s living, (Bm)
There’s Life. (A)

blast from the past

its so hard to keep in touch with your old friends from back home.. BUT today was not the case! Dave called, which was so incredibly outta the blue.. haven't talked to him since.. well since 2 years ago i believe. he updated me on everyone and everything.. and its really crazy how much and how little people have changed. apparently i sound older.. and dare-i-say wiser? but i guess thats all part of the growing-up package. then i talked to jamie! i miss her so much. its weird how we're so opposite, yet we get along so well. i mean come ON, she's in the ARMY reserves for goodness sake haha, and i'm .. well i'm totally NOT army-material haha. they'd boot me outta there so quickly =P this christmas, everyone's coming home! i'm so excited! even Dave is gonna make a trip all the way from washington dc.. poor guy has to get his wisdom teeth out *ai. but yup, =D can't wait to see them!

soo.. i dug up these pictures whilst in the midst of reminiscing on the past: lol we're so weird aren't we? :P



see? i have asian friends, i have basically all asian friends! then there's the token Sam and Sapsford :P (L->R: Sapsford (aka Saps aka Sarah), Vicpoo, ME, Sam, Jamie (aka Turtle aka Shortstuff lol), Di, and Dave)


aren't we so weird? :)


oh vicpoo, i have YET to have a picture where your eyes are ACTUALLY open :P lol! maybe this christmas!
