Two Day Update

Mike and Joe slept over. We spent the night watching retro commercials and cartoons. When we woke up, I tried to make some food. Most of the day was spent playing Call of Duty 4 on my bros computer. I picked up Billy and we went to CHBC, and watched Billy get fried by Pastor Dever for raising his hand too much and not listening to the other person. We were suppose to chill with Phoebe and Chicago people, but didn't get any phone calls.

Tomorrow I gotta...water the plants, take care of my pet mouse, fix the Nagrampa's laptop, and finalize if I'm going to Otakon or not. Thoughts? I wanna read the Bible more.

Weekly Update

I taught the second part of antichrists on Thursday. I somehow ended with...learn everything. I went with Kuya John to get him to sign up for black membership at my gym. My cousin Joe came on Thursday night. Very random. I slept over Gele's house on Friday night. We walked around in the darkness. The literal kind. I think I scared some of them as I walked slowly like a zombie, while everyone was blinded by some light, and could only see a figure in the shadows moving in an awkward pattern. It was my birthday on Saturday. It was the first time I actually got a free slurpee. My bro taught biblestudy, about Matthew 5 and being poor in spirit. Afterward half of us went to downtown Annapolis and ate at Tsunami. Tofu is pretty good. I also got some ice cream. On Sunday everyone met up at VBFM...apparently most of the youth didn't go to HTY. We played basketball and tennis at the park. The Gatdulas also came by. We went to Rita's afterward, and I got what I always get, strawberry shortcake blendini. yumyumyum. We went to BTC Barnes and Nobles for a bit, and then took people home.

It's late. Gnite

I was trying to go with the guys to Ocean City, but unfortunately there was an accident on 50 which held me back for about 25 minutes. I learned later that it was a part of Mr. P.'s company, and he'll pay a bunch for it. When the guys left me, I headed to BTC and got some food at Panera. I went to Barnes & Nobles and studied there for a couple of hours. I looked at a book about wireless security and learned a bunch of things that even a 10 year old could do with WEP. Sounds fun! Afterward I went home and helped with some yard work. Now I'm studying. Fun!

Thoughts? There's so much to learn...

Unfortunately, I was unable to post yesterday, due to myself reformatting my whole laptop. I finally got a new battery for it, so now I can actually use it as a laptop! Before I reformatted, my whole hard drive was one XP partition. Now, I got Ubuntu running, plus I have two different versions of XP, one for important things, like school and programming, and the other I guess...for games? I don't know yet. But I AM excited about actually using Jaunty Jackalope.

Yesterday I picked up Mr. Penya from the metro and dropped him off. I went to the gym for like an hour, and then went to IHOP with Matt, Milton, and Jeremy P. I stopped by Matt's house for a bit and watched them mess with Facebook, and finally played with some Nazi zombies.

Today I went to Sports Fit with Mark N., where we got to play tennis. Unfortunately we were cut short because the court was reserved. Mark showed me his arm workout...perfect timing, as I just did them the day before. It killed me, but it felt kinda good. We picked up Val from work, and ate at Pot Belly. We then went to a DC United soccer game. It rained hard for a bit, but it stopped. We got to see a full rainbow too. DC United beat the NJ Barons, 2-0. I chilled at the Nagrampa's house for a bit and got to see Milton and Mike. I'm now considering if I could...or should, go to Assateague tomorrow.

Thoughts? Hmm...I gotta make up my mind.

I missed biblestudy, and then led the people who weren't going to the retreat meeting to btc. I ate subway. We all walked around for a bit, and then went to the spot. I played basketball, and met a little kid named Andre who wanted to play with us. I tried to make a deal with him, that if he made a freethrow shot, he'd be able to play with the "big boys." He made it on his first shot. I ended the day with talking about lots of things at the Wulff's house (not Ed's, not Matt's). Good times good times.

Thoughts? My mind is becoming more and more unlocked!

Weekly Recap

This week has been okay. I've been studying various things, from the usual nihongo while I drive, to Java and MySQL, to a lesson about antichrists (yes, plural) in 1 John 2, to some piano and some songs. I'm enjoying to learn a bunch of things, and hope it'll stick with me and that I would eventually have the chance to use these skills. Unfortunately I didn't get the internship because they were already one week in and did not have money, but I'm still motivated to study, now even more. Maybe next time I won't be in Cali and I'd have more time to focus. I'll be teaching Kuya Alan some guitar, so hopefully some day he could lead worship while playing guitar, although I think it'll take a good amount of time. I remember myself struggling so much at first, but now my hand does the work for me so I could think more about what I'm singing. Actually, today was supposed to be our first lesson, but he was...stuck in traffic or something. Consequently I missed my chance to go to Artomatic in DC, but I spent the time at the Wulff's killing zombie nazis.

Thoughts? I'm motivated to learn.

I didn't really sleep. Last night I had to pick up my brother from Reagan, but his flight was delayed. I picked him up around 1:30, got home around 2 somethin somethin, and then looked up a little about interviews. I was on the couch and was unfortunately unable to sleep well, and to make things worse, my dad wakes up early to go to work. When I kinda got up, I tried to print out my resume for this internship interview that I had, but unfortunately my printer is broken. I drove to my cousin's house and printed out there, got to the interview, and everything went aight from there. Well there was a small choke up: I was asked about the difference between an abstract class and an interface, and also things about inheritance. My answer wasn't sufficient. I gotta go over what I studied, and hopefully I could catch up.

It's times like these where it's easy to forget about God and rely on human strength. We need to trust in the Lord with all our heart, lean not on our own understanding, and in all ways, through great times and through hard times, acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight. I wasn't that stressed out, but it stinks how things seem to work out at the moment it happens.

Thoughts? I'm studying. I'm gonna be studying the whole summer. Yay!
