earphones

soooo i was listening to music through some earphones but only on in ear.

so you know that uncomfortable feeling you get in your ear when you only listen with one ear, cuz like the sound is unbalanced or whatever?

well i got that feeling in my ear after taking out my earphones so i was like whatever, it’ll go away.

so after a couple of minutes it was still there so i was messing with my ear to find that the bud of my earphones came off and stuck in my ear.

Today was a good day

Last night i had a good night sleep because and this is something i can be excited about because lately i’ve been waking up in the middle of the night multiple times and havent really been getting much sleep so that was awesome.

this morning i woke up around  9:30 ate brunch with my dad (some gamjahtang)

then i practiced longboarding for a bit and went to go get my eye check up. I’m finally getting glasses again after over 4 years of wearing only contacts. ha and im eventually gonna go blind, but whatevah

then i went bowling with Matugki(matthew), Ting Ling(Paul H), Rach(Rachel), Gae(Jae), Hunny Bunny(Hun), Boss(Paul K), Dejanae(DJ). Matt and I both got Four Bagger (Although mine wasnt during a game…) and matt ended up gettin a 182 which was really good (for us). so that was fun (even though one of our lanes screwed up messing up our games) but yeah

After bowling, Matt, my lil bro and DJ went to Angels and had us some ching chong food.

then me and matt had a some bro time just chillin so that was good, catching up.

we went to starbucks and got some Coffee and Tea! then went to kroger to buy ice cream and some knock-off cracker jacks and after paying, there was THIRTEEN DOLLARS left in the change thing (on the self check out) so basically Kroger paid us to get ice cream and cracker jacks! and that was awesome.

Pretty much a chill day.

Now just chillin with matugki!

PEYCE!

Longboarding session(?)

Today after Friday night ministry, me, my lil bro, Jae and his lil bro went longboarding. I almost have the “Tiger Claw” down and the “Pineapple”(?)

the Coleman slide is A LOT harder than i expected. but it’ll come with time and practice.

but while we were long boarding we saw these three girls in the parking garage too.

i didnt see them up close so i couldnt tell if they were attractive or not BUT that’s not the point, the point is that they were longboarding too!

I dunno why but I find that admirable in a girl. A girl who’s different (cuz lets be honest, you don’t see many girls longboarding), and who isnt afraid to get a little scuffed up (from longboarding).

hm. how can i put this, it’s like for “B-boys” don’t you guys find it attractive when a girl can break? ha

ANYWAYS.

bout to learn me some more longboard tricks!

Blurred Vision

I feel as if my Vision is getting more blurry by the day.

Both Literally and Spiritually…

I feel like my eyesight is getting worse and that I’m losing sight of God.

Eyesight

Today I realized how scared I am of becoming blind.

Longboarding

I think I’m gonna get serious with longboarding during the summer (if my ankle’s all healed up by then)

So if you’re wondering what I want for my birthday(because I know a lot of people really don’t know what to get for people’s birthday, so I’m just making it easier on you all!), then here’s some ideas (from most important to least important):

Helmet (bout $40-$50)

Elbow & Knee Pads (bout $30 each)

Wrist Guards ($20)

(Or for the Pads and Wrist Guards you can go cheap and get me all 3 for $30: http://thelongboardstore.com/protection/pads/3-pack-medium/ )

Slide Gloves (from $40-$70)

oh and if you’re wondering where you can get me these things then just go here: http://thelongboardstore.com/

and if you don’t feel like ordering it yourself then you can just get me cash or a gift certificate: ( http://thelongboardstore.com/miscellaneous/gift-certificates/ )!

OH! and you’re MORE than welcome to get these as early as you want (before my birthday)

God.Love.Future.Trust

While I was in bed last night, I had a lot on my mind but was too lazy to get out of my bed so I saved my thoughts for now.

They say “A woman’s heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek Him in order to find her.”

I know I don’t need a girlfriend right now, but I want one.
I feel as if I can like someone so easily, and I feel like if I were to marry someone who wasn’t “the One” then I could still come to love her.
Does that make sense???

But then maybe I don’t know what Love, in that sense, is.
But God is Love. So maybe I really don’t know who God is?
Of course I know who He is though. But it’s like I know OF him but I don’t really know him personally. But then again like Pastor Eugene Sim said, kids say they are “saved” like 5 times. And whether or not this is genuine, or just emotions, being saved is having a personal relationship with God. I claim to be saved but do I really have a personal relationship with Him?

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t doubt, I don’t doubt that He is God. I know all the facts, His undying love for us, His grace and mercy.

But that’s exactly the point, knowing the facts isn’t enough. At Passion 2011, in Ben Stuart’s Breakout Session: “Fighting For Holiness,” (Along with Beth Moore’s talk [which I was dozing off in so I didn’t take notes so I can quote anything she said exactly {but I have the Digital All Access pass so I’ll get to that sometime soon}]) he mentioned that “What you think about is what you’ll care about, and what you care about is what you will chase.” Which also goes along with (I think it was) one of the topics from my church’s Youth Winter Retreat: Head, Heart, Hand. What’s in you’re head is what you’ll think about, and what you think about will grow in your heart, and become what you care about, and what you care about you will eventually pursue and fulfill with your hands (take action) and chase that.
I think about God a lot thought. I think? Maybe it’s not enough?  Because if you look at it as a 3 part objective, I would be in the first part. Because I’ve thought about Him but I feel like as I don’t have a Passion for him and passion comes from the heart right? So I could say I feel as if He’s not in my heart or I’m not allowing Him in my heart.

Which leads to another problem. My future.
As of now, thinking about my future scares me.
Of what am I scared of? I’m not even sure.
I know that my future is in His hands and that should be so comforting, but then again I don’t let Him in my heart so it makes me fear even more.
In other words, I know I can trust in Him, But I can’t come to trust myself to let it all go and trust in Him.
So saying all that, do I really trust Him? Obviously not because I’m trying still to hold my own weight and do everything on my own.
As I said “I can trust in Him” which doesn’t mean “I do trust in Him.”
..If that makes sense.

But yeah those are few of the thoughts that I was pondering in my mind last night.

Til next time! God Bless!
