There are times in our lives where we wish to be just like someone. Where we follow them around, we idolize them, we think they’re the best. We want to talk about them all the time, we want to be around them all the time. Anyone you thinking of right now? it’s probably not God you’re thinking about. But it should be. How many times have you had to choose between youth group and a party on a friday night? When that happens, are you able to tell them, I’m going to youth group before “I’m following Jesus.”? it takes alot to say that, especially at our age when we can easily be judged. But I love going to youth group. Encounter is great. This year the worship has improved and i love it. The past two fridays i have been and by the last song we are singing, my voice is cracking and i am losing it. It’s a relaxing place after a long week of school, just talking to friends and feeling the spirit of God is amazing.

A few days ago, I recieved an email and it hurt me to read it. One of my friend’s having family problems and I just pray that God will keep them strong no matter what happens. That they keep seeking You and will never fail to feel the love from You. I pray that God is there with them every step of the way. I’ll continue to pray for you as time passes by.

On another hand, while I was walking to the bus stop in wanchai, I walked across the bridge between the bus stop side and the kublais side of the road. I feel great everytime I walk there because Hong Kong is beautiful at night.  To see all the street signs as well as all the cars passing by below the bridge. Somtimes when I think about going to college, though I am excited I cannot imagine living away from Hong Kong. No place can be compared to Hong Kong, the food, the night life, the safety around.. the best place to be in.

Though Hong Kong’s got great city life, I also love the other side of the island. Where I live around, it is not crowded anymore after 9 at night. Shops are closed, the only that is open is resturants but still, they are quiet and peaceful. One of my favorite part about stanley is the infamous “rocks”. Right next to the ocean, a huge pile of rocks where many go to enjoy their time. Everytime I go there, I sit and listen to the waves.. so calming. I also enjoy bringing friends there. Many would say it’s boring but I enjoy just sitting somewhere quiet and talking with friends. I think it’s one of the best things to do with friends and by myself. One of my theories: We don’t always have to be doing something to have fun.

This post isn’t one of the best, might be quite a bit of repetition. There’s really so much I can do at 3 in the morning. Even though, my english isn’t that great in the beginning hence the name Gramatically Challenged. Hynah.

Cheers!

It’s 1am and I’m getting tired. But it’s been a good day. Long day at school, but good nonetheless. Open night at school was hectic as usual. Parents running around trying to find classrooms and bombguarding us with questions- some I couldn’t even answer. Most parents were very grateful and some even remembered me from previous years! It’s quite a  nice satisfication to be able to help them and be a part of their HKIS parent journey.

After open house, it was good hanging out with a friend. It’s been a while, and I enjoyed chatting and laughing with him again. We watched some videos and I was proud of his film work and thought they were awesome.

As usual, talking to a friend on the phone is always nice. Too bad I won’t have a chance to see him anytime soon because he’s so busy staying till late into the night at work and having to host friends from all over. I cannot wait till I get a chance to see him, all the things we said we would do. I am reminded of him by lots of things that I see around.

Three day weekend. I’m excited. But I’ve got heck loads of work. Hoping to relax at home, go to a party or two, chill out with friends. It’ll be a good weekend. I’m tired now, but we’ll see how long I’ll be saying that before I actually go to bed.

Cheers!

Damn, It’s been a long day. I’ve been having bad luck all day and it’s driving my crazy. Stupid things but it all adds up. I had a chance to see my cousin tonight, before she leaves tomorrow. but they were having dinner way too far and I was already cranky and tired so no point going. I knew how it would turn out and I might as well avoid that situation. I was annoyed by everything, wasn’t my best mood. I wasn’t in the mood to do anything or see anyone. Except for maybe one or two people that no matter what mood I was in, I wanted to see them cause I know it would make me happy just seeing them.

Tomorrow is the last school day of the week, this weeks gone by pretty quickly. I still have to be at school until around 8pm. Open House for parents and for us ambassador’s, it’s always quite fun just hanging around and talking to each other when parents are in the classrooms. I don’t have much planned for the long weekend, but I’m excited just to hang out at home, swimming, play some basketball and just relax.

I hate it when I’m this way. It really doesn’t bring out the best in me. Sigh…

Cheers!

There arn’t many times where I am in bed, all tucked in ready to sleep, then I get up to my computer, get on wordpress and blog. Rarely. And this is one of those times. I am tired, but I was too happy and excited to sleep. I had to write about it.

Delight yourself in the LORD,
and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

You never fully understand it until you experience it. That’s a phrase I hear but haven’t thought about much. How many times do we ask the Lord for something and we don’t get it? Are you sure you are asking just because you want it, or are you delighting in Him through the process? This bible verse is a verse I will remember, because I fully believe in it. Just not too long ago, I was away from the Lord, I didn’t delight at all but I stepped back onto the road, the highway with God and already he is making me very happy. He is giving me little surprises through others that I did not expect.

It’s so good hearing your voice. It’s so good to have you call and ask how I’m doing because you felt like we haven’t talked in a long time. We rarely talk on the phone, just text messages, and talking on the phone makes me ten times happier that I already am from sms-ing you.  Thank you Jehan. You continue to make me smile and help me learn.

Cheers!

Tis’ good. Though school was quite long and I had a bit of a trouble staying awake in all classes, it was a good day afterall. I was tempted at times to be unhappy, to not talk to anyone and sulk like quite a few times last week but I did not. Because God’s power was larger than Satan’s. Everytime I was getting to that point, I was reminded that I was of the post I wrote last night.

Exercising with my best friend always makes me happy. Even though we wern’t playing a game, it was intense and I made quite alot of my shots. It was a good ab workout too, even though it’s all because I’m laughing at her. Met this guy who use to go to our school many years ago, didn’t get his contact though unfortunatly. He seemed like a cool guy. His father got injured and was leaping his way out. I was debating to ask if he was alright or not, because this was before we talked, I would’ve looked like a fool. People will say, if you’re playing basketball, just play, what other people do is none of your business. But I felt the spirit telling me to help others, because that is what we’re called to do. In the end, I asked if he was alright and if he needed any ice. Whether I looked like a fool or not, I felt better, I fely happy.

Getting a text message from a friend that says “Hi! How are you? What’s going on? Did you have a good sunday? … Hope your day was better than mine!” is pretty normal. To many, it is nothing. it is just a simple text message. But to me, it’s more than a message. It meant a friendship. Especially from someone much older, who has a busy job, travels alotl, have many other friends and a life of his own. Why would he take time or even have time to think about someone my age? No matter how bad my day could be, recieveing a text message or a phone call from him always makes it better. This is what we should do, care about others, and check up on them no matter how busy you are. You don’t have to talk to them for hours, spend lots of money or buy them a big gift to help them feel better. Simple little things like this can make someone go crazy. I am happy and tis’ all good.

Cheers!
