hmm...

so itz pretty high time that i updated...puhaha...^________^;;;

well....china/korea missions was AWESOME!!! i won't get into that much, since most of u guys were there with me...^^

sophomore year is going ok so far...i can't believe i'm a sophomore!! but yes, time is passing by...school work is a lot harder than last year...accounting is KILLING me...T.T...my marketing class seriously takes up 50% of my hw time, and itz sooooooooooooooo hard, but I LOVE IT!!!! ^______^ i dun think i've ever loved any class this much...

and now for the climax...CALL retreat!!! i can't believe everything that happened...itz just so amazing...God truly works in ways we can't fathom, and he has a time and moment for EVERYTHING!!! itz just amazing to see how much paul's changed already...it seems like all the years i've known him have gone to waste, cuz he's a totally new person now...God, you're just so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so that's basically what's been going on in my life...

here's a few updates from the world, in case some of u didn't know...(i havta read the wall street journal everyday for my marketing class, and i'm just learning so much stuff!! we should all read newspapers and stay informed of what's going on around our world...)

- japan got a new prime minister, Shinzo Abe...^^..dunno if any of u care...

- watch out for Apple's new invention: iTV...itz supposed to let u hook it up to ur tv and download movies to watch them...the cool thing bout them is that u can watch the movie while itz being downloaded! so u dun havta wait....it just shows how much more fast-paced our society is turning to...pretty soon, none of us are gonna have any patience left!

- U.S. gov't is now allowing certain liquids and gels on planes!! yay for toothpaste! the only thing is...it hasta be no more than 3 oz. unless u bought it in the airport...i mean, honestly, i thot the whole, "no toothpaste, no water" was kinda silly...altho i see where they're coming from..

well...that's bout it for now...pace~!

"It's weird. Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon, everything is different."

i can't believe it...my first year of college is already over....

it seems like yesterday i was walking to the international student center for orientation...

time has gone by so quick...if i sit and think about it, i feel like nothing changed from day to day, but if i think about this whole year, so many things have changed...i've changed so much....i now know how to hold myself back while opening myself up to everyone...but what a high price i had to pay to learn that valuable lesson so crucial for survival in this world.......why is it that sometimes we just refuse to learn if it's not the hard way?

God must feel so hurt...we keep on rejecting him again and again, and only learn how much we need him once we fall from trying to do things our way...

two words....humbleness and submission.....

ooh! ooh! ^______________^...i think i found out howta put pics up...here's some random pics..

spring break..me on my first bike ride ever~!! kinda scary...^^*

hmm...i was reading psalms the other day, and found a passage in psalm 20...

it's a blessing/benediction type of a thing, and just wanted to share it wid u guys...

psalm 20:1-5

"May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;

may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May he send you help from the sactuary

and grant you support from Zion.

May he remember all your sacrifices

and accept your burnt offerings.

May he give you the desire of your heart

and make all your plans succeed.

We will shout for joy when you are victorious

and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the LORD grant all your requests."

HAVE A GOOD DAY, EVERYBODY~~!!

HAPPY EASTER~!!!
