People

okay....you see..i was going to add this to my give thanks to everything post down two below
but then as usual i got lazy and i just didn't add it, cuz i didn't have enough time to write about everyone that i wanted to....

so i'm just gonna post this for now..and then do continuations
sound good? :]

As for order, I'm starting off with one person and then the next person is connected to the previous one in some quirky way that my mind thinks of :]

Bria my most awesome, biomass dissing, anime loving, and overall such a purehearted friend. i dont know what i'd do with out you sometimes cuz you're able to make me forget whatever i'm upset about and can make me laugh NONSTOP haha...plus my sister loves you..which is another tiny perk haha. through volleyball, orchestra, just EVERYTHING..i feel so so so so so sosososo blessed that we were on the team together in freshman year. seriously, it so changed everything...and i love that we were able to just hang out and just be the gruesome twosome haha i know that you'll be silly and hyper at times and yet serious and deep at other times..and those two put together ..wow

they make up one of the most amazing personalities that i know <3

Jessie wow...wow..WOW.. there is no other way to describe you jessie and yet, i'm still going to anyways :]. as Tom Cruise says, "you.....complete me" cept ur not renee, you're much MUCH more awesome, like the big ol' blazing sun. haha..i know that i'm probably going to repeat a lot of what i said on your facebook post..but still, its all 100% true.

we've had so many memories together haha..thats the sign of when you spend too much time with someone..when you have so many memories that you forget half of them lol. let's see here: nashville (category of its own), sunday school, ocee park, MUSCLE, haha movies, retreats, netherworld, youth group, every sunday..man do you know how good it feels to see your sunny face every single sunday? honestly, its something that i always look forward to and something i deeply miss when you're not there :] and best of all..i love how we can talk about nothing and everything and RELATE haha and walk with god together

Monique haha who would've thunk that you'd be the person i'd spent the most time with in thxsgivingisk festivities :D BWAHAHAHAHA ahaha i finally realized that if you can spend a night with someone where you are both SOO loopy that you are willing to play with mr. potato head, then you can talk about everything and anything forevermore haha.. dang girl..same with jessie...NASHVILLE...oh my changed everything in my life but one of the greatest things was that it brought you to me! wow..i just love you and your whole family and you've been through so much even though you attempt to be cheerful 24/7..and i love you for that too..honestly, with so many people, especially you, i just have so much love for..because i don't think that i would be anywhere close to where i am now in my path with god, without your loving support..and just EVERYTHING!! haha..yes, including your infamous megan fox pose LOLOL

Ivan where to start..i simply don't know where haha. since sixth grade, i have to say i've always admired you so much because of your violin skills haha you know i have a weakness for just watching someone play and be like o.o lol. but you know..that's old school..everyone knows that you can play well. the part that i love about you the most is definitely absolutely ultimately your awesome personality, no doubt. haha, i know that i tease you tons, get mad (actually not really lol x]) when you and say stuff bout certain people, and i say stuff i really don't mean, but the good stuff..i really DO mean :] cuz honestly, i really love each and every time i get to talk to you about some random thing, whether its on facebook or some random meeting lol. wow we've just been through so so much together haha..surviving middle school orchestra, surviving three different high school conductors, math team, new york, SCHOOl, and there could be soo much more haha if you actually come to the stuff i invite you to :]

but all in all...your friendship really means a lot to me TRULY AND DEEPLY!! :DD

Daniel hey mr. chyan.. mr. i never see at church anymore..LOLOL..oh my i just thought of something that happened last sunday..haha i was asking your dad if you were coming to church (gosh mr. absentee ;) and then WABAM..haha he whips out his cell phone and is like..daniel? mmhmm oh yeah..rebecca's asking for you LOLOL and i didn't even realize it until he said my name ahaha....but yeah..miss you tons at church..how long you've been my service partner for? mmhmm quite a while. ever since nashville. ohh my nashville..each person i write to i look back to it. Remember that last night, all that crying, all that deep talk until like 5AM, don't you want to go back to it so much? haha..i need more memories with you for sure :] but you've been so good to me daniel, honestly, always being one of the first to greet me every sunday, helping me get over my grandfather's death, so much, and i really TRULY appreciate it. :D also, thanks for being an inspiration for violin too...i remember being scared when i first met you..cuz i was like..wow i've heard so much bout this guy, but then you made me feel right at ease..cuz that's just the type of person you ARE!! haha.never change and skip all that asyo stuff on sunday :]

Alex oh my do i honestly need to explain myself AGAIN?!! haha..well 1) you are just too awesome 2) reading your work makes me feel like i'm reading an actual author or theologist 3) i love having someone remind me 24/7 to focus my concentration on God 4) i'm excited to go against you in a video game someday haha..not online..like legit game system -.- 5) i love your laugh..it reminds me of sunny..your whole mouth is a perfect curve up and then the eyes squint up like this xD 6) do i really need to explain this to you all over again? ahaha...go read your facebook you internet addict ;D

Victoria victoria i adoria you..haha you remind me of a disney movie, ignore the fact that i'm watching aladdin right now as we speak lool. knowing you're there at EVERY SINGLE church event wow. you are by far, the most dedicated person i know in your pursuit in your walk with God and your love for everything in the world around you, children, friends, the daily blessings in life, and DOMO haha. you're gonna do so much in the world victoria cuz you've already done so much in people's lives just around little old atlanta. i ALWAYS see you going out of your way just to talk to someone...and i love all of your complex emotions, whether they're hurt, joy, frustration, love hehe, and so much more, because you deem me special enough to share them with me, and i love that openness about you..PLUS your awesome sincerity. honestly, i could go on all day listing all day ;D

and..there is oh so much more...
i haven't even begun...
so watch out for your name :]

Cards

I absolutely love cards..believe it or not
I keep almost every single one of them that i've received..and even if they just say merry christmas, love so and so, they picked out that card specially for me and took the time to actually write one.

But, the ones that are the most special year after year aren't the ones that have fancy glitter or little pop-up figures or those crackmeup sayings (though some are quite funny :])
They can be only a sheet of notebook paper, on plain typed up black and white printer paper, or maybe this tiny post it note ripped in half.

I was looking through these cards the other day...hundreds of sentences, thousands of words, and millions of letters, all spent on me! haha..don't I feel special :]

But there's so much difference a card can make. The best kinds of cards sometimes don't even have to say good stuff, they can talk about the bad stuff too. It's not just handing out obligatory compliments or giving random quotes. It can say, "I'm using this font because it comes from Batman cartoons" (gee..i wonder who this card was from LOLOL)
or there can be a drawing that touches your heart..because 1) you could never do that 2) you KNOW it took that person forever.

And then, the greatest part of all..the WORDS!♥♥♥
oh my goodness...i cannot tell you how much those words envelope me when i read them, the sentences that read completely sincere..dang..they just ring in my head.
And I love how each one reminds me of exactly the moment when it was given to me.
Honestly, I'm getting excited just writing about it haha ;]

Sometimes when I write cards too, I can tell people so much more than i can in real life. Sometimes, I just don't take the time to tell people the things I do in cards.
Sometimes, I'm just too shy to tell people stuff in real life.
Sometimes, maybe I just want to let them have an everlasting memory of me

Anyways, just wanted to put this out there as a tribute to cards, cuz I know for me, they brighten up my day by like 18 degrees celcius
and when this cardgiver isn't there with me...
I can look back, and all the feelings, memories, and thoughts I have of that person just come rushing back like no other.

Give Thanks for ....Everything

Give thanks for the sun give thanks for the moon
Give thanks for the fresh clean air
Give thanks for the mountains sea and shore
Give thanks for the love that we share

Give thanks for the food we're about to eat
Give thanks for our neighbors too
For now is Thanksgiving and most of all
I'm thankful just to be here with you

We all have someone who's helepd us along
Who was there when we needed a hand
We all have something to be grateful for
It isn't very hard to understand

The high pitched voices of my fifth grade classmates pierce me even now, you know...that cute little chirp even the boys have and the exaggerated gapings of the mouth...
But this song we sang every year and I just remember it was my favorite thxsgiving tradition for chorus
six years later
and I remember it perfectly.
Really, sometimes I don't think that Thanksgiving gets enough hype. Especially for not it's worth.

Every single day, I look around me and go wow..I am blessed..so undeservingly it's crazy and I know that too. It kills me after I make such a big fuss about some minute miniscule little matter, some trivial materialistic fight, cuz when I look back on it, it's so ridiculous I can't even admit that that person was me haha.

Sometimes God blesses me too much too, cuz I will sit back and be like, what did I do to deserve to be this happy? And I probably shouldn't be that happy, cuz then I get complacent. But sometimes I just can't help but be happy, loving this life I have, reminiscing about every blissful memory, it's a habit whether good or bad.

But, getting off topic of my original point (for those of you who had mrs. hartfield, TANGENT!! :D) I'm so happy and thankful that I have each and everyone one of you guys around me. so, yup this is my turkey day shoutout, cuz I truly am thankful to you....some of you have impacted my life in more ways than you could possibly imagine, and I don't think..
actually i KNOW FOR SURE
that I would not even be close to being the person I am today with the same morals, values, thoughts, habits, everything.

I really love you guys...and don't you forget it :]
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all...
(I gotta use y'all, i'm so used to having a southern thxsgiving with my family after all xD)

I'm a gonna make you work...

long time no see old bloggy friend.... actually, i had almost forgot about you until my blog partner JESSIE♥ inspired me with her awesome posts....

sooo, this past week has been pretty hectic..lots of evaluating type things and these are the things that scare me the most i remember when I was a ittle bitty kid on swim team, i honestly never wanted to compete, go to the meets or any of that good stuff. I just liked practices. I just like swimming, no worries, no stress, no frustration. Just straight up loving what I did.

Nowadays there's all this pressure to do well. And I get that I really do. I'm a more than competitive person myself and I don't see much fun in it if you're not playing to win. But that's not all that counts. But that's what they tell us in high school. No one really cares if you tried out for a competition, but only if you win it.

okay, so I know that you want to know what I'm talking about. It's just everything right? Saturday: all-state auditions
Saturday: State Volleyball Tournament (though I didn't get to play...i'm kinda upset about that) Monday: GHP interviews
and the list goes on and on.... cause you see...all of these sorts of things have a second round to them. And if I could make the first rounds of any of them, I'd be ecstatic, over the moon, flat out happy....but then that little bit of mentality pokes and tugs at your mind reminding you that the fight isn't over yet.. getting exhausted yet? :] but despite everything, I know it's worth fighting for.

Volleyball's over, but never in my life did I think that I would be able to be on this varsity team, let alone in the final four top teams in the state. It is a memory I will never lose, though I did lose my voice x].

If I make all-state for the first time ever, I will not take it for granted, cuz that is an honour and opportunity that I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE. Spending time with orchestra friends, playing in Savannah....but right now it's so farfetched that all I can do is practice my heart out.

Finally here comes the one and only Governor Honor's Program.....en espanol...para mi that is. I'm not even going to talk about this, cuz I'll jinx my chances haha ^^

so basically, it all comes down to work.... that was our team's motto this year.
but y'know.... though winning would be great....I'd much rather learn how to live life the way God wants it to be, living it smart, filled with love laughter tears hugs and people

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall never die."

gotta long road ahead of me....

FRUSTRATING

Finally

Do you know what it's like to keep pushing onwards?

i feel good

*********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Bria: Hmmmm, well for the pop quiz question, one of my favorites would be Genesis. There are so many great stories involved, especially Adam and Eve (All I really want to know is...why???).

Hmm, the most entertaining people I know......well for a guy, it would probably have to be.................GEOFFREY NOH. He's such a stupid jerk, and I hate him sooooo much. He's stupid and awful at cello. He has no biomass. I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH HIM AT ALL!!!! ....yeah. (....okay, most of that is not true but I just felt like saying it, hehehe xD)

For the girl one, it'd probably have to be Latha. I love that girl!!!! Our lunch moments are soooo memorable ^^ Like our most recent conversation about whether or not Bill Kaulitz is bisexual and how when we both turn 18, we're going to party at a gay club!!! I can't wait x)
***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Bria: Hmmm, largest secret ever spilled....man I suck at thinking right now......even though this probably isn't large in any way, it most likely be who I liked at the time....so yeah.

As for weirdest/grossest/whatchamacallit dare ever....gosh darnit, I must have LONG TERM MEMORY LOSS!!! Well, I guess I'll just say that it was when REBECCA LAM (><) made me do "bacon" on the driveway during halloween last year (soooo much fun, i gotta tell you).

For You

"P E R H A P S after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps....perhaps...love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath..."

This is my favorite quote ever taken from the series Anne of Green Gables. I know it's corny and all poetic, but think about it. And if you've been hurt by a knight...maybe even many knights who just seem to show off every one of their good qualities except for the real ones, then listen to this.

You may be looking for love.
You might say that you're not, but subconsciously you always are
and you know it.
But if you think about it, maybe love is trying to find you
But it can't
Because you keep missing each other rushing from place to place
Sometimes you think you see love
But it turns out to be a complete stranger
But the good thing is... when you finally slow down enough to wait for love
He'll catch up with you
Maybe he was that person who sat on a bench with his back to you
As you sat at the train station waiting
Or maybe he'll be the one anxiously checking the train schedule everyday
Just the same as you
As if he's trying to meet up with someone too
And then that day will come when love will sidle up next to you
On your bench
And you'll say "I've seen you before"
But I never realized that you were here before.
And as you wait for his reply, no matter how mundane
the sound of the trains fades away

Summer Lovin♥

Blissful----c h e e r y-----JOYFUL----delighted------Ecstatic----thrilled---exultant ---- BLITHE ------- Spectacular ----L0veLy---MERRY
BL E S S E D♥

Aren't you simply all of the above words?
YEAHH!!
school's out and its time to have fun ^.^
okay... so technically school isn't out until exactly 12:25 tomorrow afternoon, but for me, I'm already celebrating cuz I just have orchestra and AP WORLD (which we've already taken haha) tomorrow. How can life get better?

Not only is school out, but the loveliest (Don't you love the word lovely. It's like those romantic English words like "perhaps" or "heavenly") ...anyways, the loveliest season of the year is here!

S U M M E R s u m m e r s u m m e r s u m m e r

honestly, i can never get enough of it. How can anyone not enjoy all of the summery characteristics: the merry sparkle of the pool, the enchanting sunsets, the neverending time
All through school I feel like I've been pushed so hard with schoolwork, volleyball, and just the basic things around the house.
Even though I know that I have it nowhere near as bad as others, I've got to say that complaining about it is half the fun ~.~

*****************************************

now you guys have to help keep me accountable kay? ^.^ and most of all ..
K E E P I N T O U C H!!!!! because summer may be fun without school but it is nothing without my F A M I L Y, friends, and our FATHER♥

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day..
to all of those people out there who are reading this...
spend some time with your mom because in only a few more years are you going to be truly hers.
When the time comes for the baby bird to leave the nest..it's for forever
and personally, i don't think i'm just that ready to grow up yet.
so in that time, i'm going to be cuddled, hugged, spoiled, kissed, teased, and just be LOVED♥

Doesn't it feel good to know that somewhere in this world you are loved?

A lot of the time, we push love away and take it for granted.
Our parent's love. yet we start a fight over a silly thing. friend's love. yet we don't appreciate them being there and take them for granted. pet's love. yet we say we're busy and that it is being bothersome, but you know that we'll miss it when it's gone. God's love. everlasting neverending, yet we deny his name and teachings over and over again.

But you know what the best thing is? :] it never goes away. This warmth and happiness that you get when you're hugged by your mom that is.
She knows what makes you happy and sad, what to do when you're hurt physically and emotionally. She'll criticize you when you need it. and when you don't need it. But it's all because she LOVES you!!!

So go take the time to make her a card, cook her breakfast, bring her flowers, and take the time to be her slave for the day! ^.^l

From the Inside Out

Those of you who went to Winter Retreat 08..
remember this pic?
the act of losing oneself is something that can't ever be replaced
the best we can do is try to pick up the pieces and find peace with those pieces...
NOOOOO
that's what God's for. For the million times we're lost, he find us. For the billion times we break down, he stands us back up on our feet. For the numberless times that we need Him...he is there.

I know this is a pretty gloomy entry for my second post but a recent event spurred this that's why. One of my friends is going through a pretty rough time with her boyfriend right now.

Scratch that...she's basically decimated. she had the perfect relationship because the person she was with made her feel happier than she had ever felt before and he was the only person who could do that. To top it off, he was like her best friend, herego = perfect relationship. Then he broke up with her... :O

and i don't want to give you all the details because after all, this is her personal life. But in order to make my point i'll give you a bit more. Personally, before this, I had never TRULY seen a girl heartbroken. Sad yes. Depressed yes. Broken up over a guy yes. but never headon, straight, pure heartbrokeness. [comparison: think of a certain girl in New Moon who loves a certain golden-eyed vampire] There's a ton of stuff in between, but all you need to know is that a lot of stupid things were said, rumors leaked, and a lot of deepfelt anger.

sooo.. they started talking after three months as of two days ago. Yes, I know. two days. and you know what? She was incredibly happy. She told me she seriously loved him and her happiness simply radiated from her. Isn't it amazing what being in love on the inside can do to one's physical appearance?♥ well I loved seeing her so happy because she became a gentler and more loving person in simply those two days. A fairy tale ending right?

.....as we all have experienced at some point and time, this cannot always be true. At six she got a text from him saying that he loved her with all his heart. TWO HOURS LATER. He had texted her again saying that they couldn't be together anymore because his parents had found out about them and so much more stuff. woww.. how romeo&juliet is that? But it was the first breakup all over again. She just kept saying

"I'm so tired. I'm just so tired."

and it broke my heart to see her like that; to be hurt to the depths of her heart for the second time in a row. by her best friend none the less.


Point of story: she is an atheist and doesn't feel that strongly about religion. We've talked about it some and being in APWORLD and all, that doesn't help her opinion any. But I KNOW that if she would simply trust in God. ...
give Him her time...her worries...her broken heart...
then no other treatment would be better.
It's like I told Grace one time....you can't cure the heart with a test for the brain or by swallowing a pill for the stomach

only your spirit can cure the heart and the only one who can send the spirit is HIM

so if you're reading this..send a prayer to my friend. Watch it take off and soar
because who knows? that prayer might cure her from the inside out.

Today's Gift

Ever wonder what life would be like without God?
ever wonder what life would be like without the tiny ittle bitty surprises in life that keep you guessing every day?
for example......
that penny you found on the sidewalk that just made your day
that flower someone left by your locker that made you smile
that random hug that your mom gives you and says, "i love you"
Or just that random feeling you sometimes get when you know you are loved
yup
that's Him alright
sure we can get frustrated
for example.....
today i wasn't good to my sister because 1)i was nagging her to get ready for church 2)she wanted to stick around with me at church and i basically ignored her x.x
today i was being super bossy to my group partners (wow i really am a bossy person) and if you ever read this, i'm sorry for my chronic bossiness
today i sat at the computer instead of talking to my family

and there are just those little things that get you down

***********************************************
FAST FACT
before i forget:
my SAT teacher actually told me this
did you know sitting in front of your computer for too long can make your hair fall out or effect your baby?
O.O
wowww lol
it's cuz of the radiation or something like that..
anywayss
***********************************************
but those frustrating things are what make us who we are...
sure we can wish life was perfect all the time
but you know what?
sometimes i think that its life's imperfections that make us get up every morning
because A: we are not and will ever be perfect
B: its by how we fight those imperfections that defines us
C: we know we don't deserve life, yet we're given a second chance every second of the day...

because of that everlasting love God gives us
so...when you see that penny or have a hidden smile
that's God's gift for the day to you :]

how's that for a first post?♥
