my dear xanga friends... it's been a long time yes?  probably because i use facebook now.. like the rest of the world... haha

my junior year is over... finally ;). and now it's summer!! heck yesss  it's stinking hot in turkey... but thanks to the airoconditioner.. i'm surviving ^^

eun hyea has left with my mom for korea... she's applying to korean universities and staying in korea for awhile. that leaves me and my dad at home... lol... it's been quite interesting. we have to divide up the house chores that my mom used to do. and we kinda improvise with the cooking....

so my summer this year looks pretty much... low key. nothing much is going on.. there's elections in turkey for some government place... so it's pretty noisy and crazy outside. yea... looks like i'll be playing some tennis this summer if things work out. hopefully they do... because i'm starting to get cabin fever... hehe.

oh right. pictures. ok. here they come.... there's alot more than i thought.. hehe.. enjoy~~

this is our duisburg missions trip team... in Duisburg! we were there for a week... and it was so much fun! we did alot of stuff in just one week... visited the world's biggest steel factory.. europe's largest mall... we did some street ministry, and VBS program for the little kids.. a youth cafe at night... hike to sausenburg (i thought i was going to die), trip to laguna!!! heck yess! haha.. and so much more! it was great bonding time....  (ben, mirium, kelsey, kristoff, sarah, me and tom. our leaders were Whitney and Mr. Barber)

our VBS program.... good times...

well, i'm going to Duisburg on a missions trip. it's northern germany, and it's a Turkish community (which is basically why i chose this missions trip). it's for a week.. and we'll be doing kids and youth ministry... a VBS program and also a youth cafe night thing... yea it'll be mostly in Turkish so it should be fun =D.

school has been busy busy busy with projects, tests, homework, more tests, more projects, papers, and more papers... i seriously didn't have a lunch free for a whole month!! can you believe?? no lunch times ever free.. i always had a meeting of some sort. but.. now it's all over... aah. what a relief.

*yawn*

some spare time...

i'm again in the bfa library =). haha, i'm up here every day 7th period for studyhall.. usually studying, but today i have hardly any homework, so i'm updating

2nd quarter ended very well...God was once again faithful to me...

now for the 3rd quarter... haha, atleast i'm more than halfway through right?

it's been crazy busy here.. junior year is crazy. i miss the carefree life of last year... =) but i guess i would've have to have learnt responsibility sometime right?

tomorrow is valentines party... i'm skipping half of the school day for NHS cuz we're doing a valentines party for the elementary school kids up at zitsenkirk (however you spell it)

so.. i'm wondering if i should quit middle school chior accompaniment or not.. i feel bad for mr. g cuz he really depends on me to help out.. and i did 1rst semester, but i dunno.. i'm so busy this semester and i have alot of other accompaniment that i want to do... *shrug* i don't know.

alright. i'm going to go practice piano. i might as well when i have time right? =D. see you all soon~~

you!! i made someone's week today.. haha made me happy

in the library

i really should be reading Farewell to Arms... but oh well. i'm in the bfa library... just wasting time... feeling tired...

i basically bombed all the tests today.. haha AP Chem was ... retarded. AP bio was alright. not as bad as i thought, and 20th century history was.....  *sigh* yea. it was a WWII test. i think i really don't like history.

what's going on in my life?

SAT is over.. that's for sure =).

i'm feeling much better these days... although today was pretty much a stinky day. i hope you guys had a better day than i did.

hmmm... it snowed here

love you. miss you.

January 19 2007

today i feel... sad, happy, confused...

God sure is mysterious... i have yet to know the reasons for what's been going on...

i do not completely understand, but i choose to trust.

one more week.... one more week. 

Give me strength Father. help me endure. Give me the faith to trust you fully. I am truly lost without you...

Help me be joyful in all circumstances... in all that is to come this week, and  whatever happens, help me praise you, and shine your love to those who wonder.

Thank you Father...
