Beautiful

Such a beautiful day today. When I was a kid, well i'm sorta still am lol, this would have been one of those days i would go out biking after dinner or just sit by the window and read. i read alot when i was a kid but now it seems like there's never quite enough time. i love reading, not to analyze it or anything but just for the pleasure of living a fiction life for a brief moment. It feels so much like summer, and that just brought back so many of my last summer's memories. I cannot believe that this year is close to over... I still remember last summer so well, so well... Its funny, now that its almost time to go home i don't feel ready. I want more of my frosh year! lol... i spent some time reading over my old journal entries and looking at photos and i realized how much my life as changed over this year, and how i have changed. i remember coming here and getting homesick at the beginning, but now it's become my home. i guess its been a bitter sweet journey. When i went home for easter i found that it was like everyone picks up from where they left off... yet, not exactly either but close. We all change over time, very lil but small changes in perspective, in priorities (of course, God and family will always come first!). hmm... i think that's all i wanted to say. The weather today has put me into my 'thoughtful' mode... haha... gotta stop day dreaming! Get to work amy!

jane, me and starfield! 

starfield concert

wow, yesturday was such an adventure! lol... after classes yesturday we (me, sarah, jane and binh) went house hunting. Still looking for a place for next year, hopefully we'll find a place we all like very soon. The biggest problem is distance... we've seen some places that were okay but just too far. It was funny cuz one of the houses we looked at took us about 15-20min to get there, so we asked the people who were living there now how long it usually takes them to get to school and if there was a shortcut. And the guy who was showing us around the house told us it usually takes him abt 13min to get to MC... AND that he doesn't walk fast either. lol, so we decided to see if we could make it back onto campus in 13min. While we were fastwalking we decided to walk through the waterloo park so we ended up cutting through the forest. When we finally got out of the forest in 20 min we could just see south campus hall and we still weren't even on campus yet! lol... so that's wat we spent our afternoon doing.

Jane and I then went to the starfield concert at heritage college... oh my, the world is so small. We took a cab to cfc and we met the youth paster, joe. It wasn't until we got there and joe asked us wat church we went to in toronto that we found out that joe was one of jim's college buddies. (jim is the youth pastor at rhccc, the church i go to back at home). And there's still more, on the way home we found out he spoke at ccf... but both me and jane couldn't recognize him cuz he looked so so so different. Now onto the highlight! The starfield concert was really good, i had so much of fun! We stood at the front which was great for taking pics but cuz the speakers were faced outward it was a lil hard to hear. We got there autographs and took a quick pic with them... hehe... very happy.

charity ball ticket 

Charity Ball

So last saturday i went to the charity ball and it was alot of fun!... funny i'm writing abt it a almost a week later, been a busy busy week. Anyway, I got to get prettied up and got to where my prom dress again so that was definetly the highlight, lol! I think the fun part of going to formals is really the process of dressing up and taking pictures with everyone. The turnout was pretty good for the charity ball... we were a bit worried when tickets were still selling up to the day but there was a good amount of people to fill the dance floor! hehe... so here are more pics

karen, me, and hannah 

Wow... it's been quite a while since i last wrote... hmmm, hard to really summerize everything that's happened. I guess lately i've been disappointed at my midterm marks cuz i worked really hard and it just isn't paying off. The thing i don't like abt uni is that sometimes it seems like it depends on your luck more than anything else. If your 'lucky' you can go into a multiple choice exam and do really well... ah well... learning to deal with it. I guess it's always a struggle cuz i want to get into optometry, but at the same time the chances seem so slim. Just learning to leave it in God's hand, perhaps i wasn't meant for optometry but for, in God's eyes, a bigger and better plan. So often people measure their worth against their profession, possessions, and appearance but that's not what we're meant to be measured against. I trully wish to live a life fulfilled doing what God has planned for me than to wander around aimlessly. Anyway, just hope i'll be able to do better on my finals. Other than that things have been going well. I'm very excited cuz this sat is the charity ball, and i get to wear my prom dress again! lol... and on a even more exciting note, i'm going to a STARFIELD concert! well, hopefully since i hvn't even bought the ticket yet... lol.

Here are some beauty tips from Audrey Hepburn... lol:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
