So I'm on this thankful kick.
S'more things I am thankful for:
1. Mail that ain't no bills... thanks again Kerche.
2. Prayer that can happen anytime of day or night.
3. Calloused fingertips... thanks Cars.
4. The sun... I love it... even if I don't go out in it... it still is good.
"Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry..." Who can be angry with the sun shining so bright?
5. Twenty-four hours in a day and no less.
6. Canada, she turns 139 on Saturday. yes, bradley, thank you...
7. The magic number 7... my jeans which make me appear "in style" and all bling-ed.
8. Inspiring friends who remind me that life on earth is miniscule to eternity.
9. Edible art... love eating beautiful looking food. Makes eating so much more entertaining and always gives something to look forward to.
10. Sports. Yea, that's right, Real Sports.

weirdness
So I sit in front of the computer after dinner, and my brother comes into the room and asks if I could go and wash the dishes. I know he's busy with schoolwork and I don't want my mom washing, so I said "ok, sure."
I walk out, to find the oddest thing: my mum and my brother, both nicely relaxed, eating dessert while watching Chinese soaps!
Something didn't seem right here.
Me "slaving" away, washing dishes...
While my brother and mum watch Chinese soaps?
That's suppose to be me.........!

seasons change
Spring is for planting, summer is for growing, autumn is for the harvest, and winter is the time to let the soil rest.How much I love it when seasons change.
Hello Summer.
Good bye Spring.
You came, stayed for a bit... but now, really.. it was time for you to go. You just weren't as advertised.
Summer... bring it on!
Love it already. Got a sunburn from biking downtown. Stood at a corner and people-watched for a bit. Everyone's got a place to go. You ever people-watch and wonder what's their story? Where are they heading? What do they do? Maybe I'm just nosy. Maybe this is just what the unemployed do because we have too much time on their hands...
Looking forward to a great season. I'd like to think I deserve one =)
Rid the cyncism, lower the sarcasm, lose some edginess, stop the skepticism and take Summer at face value...
Motivated to enjoy.

i wish i was...
young-er.
Age is really creeping up to me... 25 and no turning back.
Was thinking. Around this time last year, I was
... having quite the adventures in India. And the year before that, I was
... sitting in an office designing little logos. And the year before that, I was
... finishing up my last classes to graduate and having quite the encounter with Christ, leading to my desire to be in ministry--wow, gotta hold onto that. And the year before that, I was
... sitting in classes, trying to bulldoze my way through the remaining years of uni. And the year before that, I was
... in Thailand and China, eating and eating! And the year before that, I was
... typing in Amex cards for Costco, getting reading to go to HK. And the year before that, I was
... watching the front at Sportshall, bored but happy to have a job. And the year before that, I was
... just finished provincials and a newly minted graduate of high school. And the year before that, I was
... about to kill my summer in Socials 11 summer school where we all (typical Chinese) registered the first day of open registration so that we would be in the same class. There ended up being 25/28 students from Killarney and all of us were chinese girls and we were friends. The pros: being in class with all your buddies. The cons: being in class with the smartest kids in school [appropriately named the "four point oh group."] which means I was at the bottom of the grading scale. That was also the year I was introduced to internet for the first time and I discovered online "Christian" chat rooms... And the year before that, I was
... 15 and wishing I was older--an adult. What was I on?!
Three posts in three days. Not bad eh?

stolen posts
Taking a page from a supermom coworker of mine...
Three things I'm thankful for:
1. "Sanity" friends [Nattie, Bren, Jo] that allow me to release some form of verbal diarrhea and always know how to "wipe it up" =) [this is a chu-style image]
2. People [Andrew, Liz, Julie] who said to me today, I was just thinking about you the other day...
3. My life, which is thankfully, more exciting than watching paint dry =)
and here's one more as a bonus for reading:
4. E-coli-free food. No one died from tonight's dinner that I cooked: Garlic lamb steaks, brocolli and rice souflé, and strawberry apple pecan salad. Yum. Props to the Leongs, the cousins and a thoughtful "chuchingching" who brought cakes and good conversations.
And there you have it.

bloggin' 'bout bloggin'
To my readership of three. This one's for you!
What do people blog about? Yes, this entire post is dedicated to what people blog about. I actually know someone who has dedicated their entire Honours project to blogging. Yep, communications honours project. Boy I love my degree!
Why do people blog? I s'pose it's used as an outlet to air out your grievances to the world.
I wish I had the brainlessness to tell everyone what I'm thinking about. But there probably are too many repercussion... what do you think?
Let's try.
Right now, what's in my head are ringing cell phones. Nowadays, I always hear my cell phone ring, but it's not ringing. Yeah I know, pathetic. It's like I have this ringing in my head... crap. I'm hearing things.
Try again.
Thinking about my head. I've got a major headache. Had one most of the day. Life's a fickle one!
Really, I have nothing to say. After a month, I couldn't come up with anything better than that... but if you could see my "drafts"... I've started a lot..! Really!
Sorry audience, no juice.
