this week has definitely been a week of catching up with friends who i haven't had the chance of seeing for awhile...
this tuesday, aug. 29, my brothah from another mothah, jimminy, and i finally saw each other after his summer on ship. so what do two guys do after they haven't seen each other for a long time? go to mec and get a bag. it is back-to-school after all! not that i'm going back to school, but i do need to go get a bag. and so did he. i was supposed to go to his place and play some x-box (BURNOUT 3!!!) but decided to meet up at mec instead coz we were talking about bags and such. we got there and looked around... i ended up buying a bag but he didn't. bu hao. afterwards went to the oak where we "celebrated" his birthday. his birthday was in july and he wasn't here so i was treating him there. tracey ended up joining us. but not before his beer spilled all over the table. thank God that my cellphone didn't get wet!!! let me just say that I WAS (technically) THE FIRST PERSON TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING OUT ! tian!!!
i had a plate of 10 wings (which did not sate my hunger!) so we went to pizza pizza afterwards. that's where this pic was taken. so kewt!!! must admit... très jealous. -edit: this is their first pic taken as a couple!!! well, not the first... but i was the first person to take pics of them as a couple. tian!!! -
i do feel bad though that i didn't get to hang out with rachele and the gang as a result with me hanging out with the evil one. tuesday night baby!!! :D
wednesday, got to say goodbye to diana and brenna, two people from ACC (Anti-Complacency Club). also did a prayer walk in Carleton U. thursday was spending time with the young adults at my church. had a corn boil and some ATVing. that was kewl!
today, got the chance to hang out with rebecca and stu. annoyed ruth. lolz. watched amadeus. then later, went out with chub-chub. yay sommerset! :D i love chinese food! and bbt! two things that we did and i got it for free! next time, my turn. i know! went to laurier optical to look at glasses as well. good times! lolz.
all in all, it was an awesome week of spending time with people. and God. i'm only realizing how truly amazing the Book of Proverbs is! and i love a.w. tozer's The Pursuit of God.
and i got a chance to talk with her today. we even had a video call. tian!
Oh God, You are my God, and I will ever praise You....
thanks for everything Father.

i went to a beautiful wedding last saturday... the wedding of Christina and Sangi. i must say that that wedding was the record for earliest time to cry at a wedding. they were playing this rocking music for the bridesmaids and such... and then the beautiful bride came down. and i thought they were gonna change the music but they didn't. that was surprising. and then to the strains of "i will love you forever" she walked down the aisle. dang... the tear ducts were on a roll after that one. they had worship during the wedding as well. and i found myself singing the songs with a deeper conviction of what i'm really saying. during the ceremony, they also exchanged gifts. she wrote and sang him a song on the keyboard and he played an inspired piece on his violin for her accompanied by a very funny presentation. amazing wedding!
and a 10 course reception meal followed after this amazing wedding. 10 course meal = amazing reception. lolz. and the give-aways were cute little chopsticks with "a perfect pair" attached to them. i think i forgot my chopsticks on the table when i put it down to get a picture of them before i left. bu hao. i like those chopsticks!!!
during the reception, i found out that monica, although Chinese in birth, did NOT know how to use chopsticks properly. that's right. she's Chinese and doesn't know how to use chopsticks properly. i think there's something extremely hilarious about a white person teaching a Chinese person how to use chopsticks (go Dorrie go!!!) i also got a chance to talk to sarah whitfield, lydia's friend that she blogged about. somehow i found out that she has met Joshua Robinson, someone that i blogstalk. also saw alison and was commenting on the weirdness of seeing people in real life coz i always just associate them with their blogs and now they're actually moving, in real life, flesh and blood not just words on a screen. quite unnerving. lolz. itz like when i saw lydia do her video blog and realize how weird it was to hear her voice because i've always just saw words on a screen when i thought of her. hahaha.
afterwards, hung out with ben, adrian and rachele. we were gonna watch a movie at south keys. i didn't know how to go home from downtown... and yes, i know, i live her and adrian (who's only been here this year) knows more about downtown than i do. so we took an extra long way to get home (follow the hospital signs!) we got there and no more movies. so we were gonna to to dooly's and play pool... but rachele didn't have her ID so we we went to adrian's place and watched constantine. i really liked that movie.
and in reference to my title: christina said that she would NEVER marry an asian or have a long distance relationship or someone younger than her. and sangi just about broke all of that.
here's hoping that in 1 or 2 yrs., people would refer to this blog and say that she broke all of them. hahaha.
