Gosh, that was a long weekend. Friday till now pretty much. Doh, my phone’s just about outta batteries too cuz too many people play games all day on my phone! Lesse…what all happened….Helped out with worship on Friday and stuff. Brought all my junk stuff (amp, volume pedal, stand, guitar) only used bout half of it though on friday (brought it all for worship practice for next Friday which never happened…I’ll explain later…).
Saturday = The day to do NOTHING. I didn’t do anything Saturday, what a boring day, haha. Oh wait, I went shopping and ran some errands (like buying khaki’s to wear on Sunday cuz I forgot my clothes down in San Jose, hah, oh well). Also went to pick up the tape at Western that some people are supposed to sing at the Grad Banquet, but it ended up being the wrong tape!!! aiya! oh well.
Sunday went smoothly…well somewhat, but was one of the longer days of the weekend. Started with church and worship in the morning. Survived that, it was also Pastor Ed and Rachael Loftin’s last sunday with us. Pastor Ed led worship on sunday also. Anyways, Sunday continued with a cancelled until Monday Night “Sanctuary” practice and we went over to Sara’s after shopping and chilled there and ate A LOT of potstickers, sushi, and pizza, yum. I had to leave early from that (while they were watching Finding Forrestor, a GREAT movie), to head over to San Leandro and kick it with some AACF people at Alison’s BBQ. Yum, what a great way to start off summer, some good food everywhere and just being stuffed with food for 4-5 hours. mmmmm.
Anyways, Monday may have been the longest day. Woke up and headed out to Guitar Center on Memorial Day morning to see what stuff was on sale (they always have big sales on holidays). Found NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING. Couldn’t even find their Avalon U5 that I’ve been wanting really bad, argh. Anyways, after that I picked up Justin from his place and headed over to church where we met with Tiff and planned for the Grad Banquet. Eric came, then Janet and Michelle and we worked on that until around 2pm. Went to eat at….Oh, Fresh Choice where we messed around like the lil punk High Schoolers they all are (well cept Justin and Me), but it was fun. Went to Party City, and Target, and that’s about it. Went back to church to work on everything else and for worship practice but Eddie forgot about it and Helen couldn’t come, so we basically scratched practice until Friday afternoon. Ugh, oh well. Went home after a long day at church and with youth and talked on IM till I went to sleep. Slept for like 12 hours last night, ahhhh, what a relaxing night.

Fight Club, Black & White, and a boring week, but it’s SUMMER!!!
Watching Fight Club. What an interesting movie. Still makes me think realllllly hard, because I don’t totally undertand it, hehe. Still remember the first time I saw it with Elisa, man was it EVER confusing, geez, didn’t understand it one bit till I talked about the movie after wards.
Been playing a game called Black & White. Interesting game. Pretty fun, but crashes too often that I can’t really get way into it, heh. Saving the game also takes a whole lotta time, blah.
It’s Summer!!! Whooo, nothing else really going on though, hehe.
Laaaaaaalaaaaa
Well still nothing new going on other than. IM OUTTA SCHOOL!!! whooo, Summer has officially began (well it did like this morning), heheh. I’m ready to kick it down with some Mac & Cheese, but don’t think I have any butter…grrr, ahh well. Maybe I’ll cook(microwave) some lapchueng, gross I know, but I’m hungry, haha.
Hrm, long time no update….
Wow, it’s been awhile. Nothing really new is going on. Have to send off my Cingular wireless bill tommorrow before it’s late, heh. Dorothy from Phil’s church came over today and we went out to Todai in Eastridge mall. Todai is a cool japanese buffet place. Pretty good, good sushi. Anyways, also went to that Winchester Mystery House. Always thought it was supposed to be scary or something, but was just like a historical landmark. Not something I would visit again, lol. Anyways, that’s about it, hehe.
Praise the Lord, O My Soul, Praise the Lord….
Well looks like the days of Napster may be over. I tried looking for some stuff today and nothing showed up on ALL of my searches. So either Napster just isn’t working anymore, or they’re blocking a whole lotta stuff. Blah, oh well. I found some really good mp3s of worship stuff that Steve Fee and Candi Pearson did in their Big Stuf Band or Exit 10. Sounds really good, EXCELLENT version of the song Hungry. Probably the best I’ve heard of it (sorry to SF, but this beats it out with the harmonies and layering they did, and it’s live, hehe).
Been trying to find this one Charlie Hall song too. Found out it’s called “Beautiful of Heaven”. The song goes:
“O Beautiful of heaven, O Soveriegn God transcendant
There is no one more majestic, myterious
There is no one more magnificent
There is no other god but You
There is no other more beautiful (x2)
So set my mind upon You wholly, Peel my fingers from the earthly
Inject boldness in my confession, As i proclaim this awesome truth
Holy God, fire of love, come o torch, burn me up
Set the coal on my mouth, I’m unclean, burn me out
Lift the knife, rip my robe, I lift my eyes, cleanse my soul
Take my life, my offering, till I am lost in the king of kings”
I really like it, but the song isn’t on any CDs yet, ahh well. I’ll just have to wait for Charlie’s next cd.
Did I ever tell everyone that I met Charlie Hall before? It was at the Worship Together conference out in San Diego a few months ago. Pretty funny, I was just sitting down waiting for the first main session to start, and I was sitting off on the side since we got in kinda late. All the speakers and worship leaders were up on the side pews going up the side of the sanctuary, and Charlie just kinda walked around a lil bit and I waved to him. He waved back and walked over and introduced himself, was pretty funny. =P Also talked with him a little bit after one of his workshop sessions he led on Veils of the Heart.
What else is going on? Not sure what my big trip will be for summer. Maybe NY, maybe FL? who knows, guess only time (well, and money) will tell, lol. Crap, if I wanna go anywhere, I better get tickets soon, prices for Southwest airlines go up May 24th, bleh!
Still sick, and it sucks, but ahh well (that’s what I’ve been saying to everyone today, heh). Oh well, I’ll live, sorta. hehehe. Might go visit Pathway again on Sunday, not sure. They really want me for their worship team, but may still be a couple of months till I move over there. Would be really cool though if I did do stuff there. =) Oh, and emailed some girl named Teena for some alternative worship band in the SF Bay Area today. She left a message on the Worship Together site and asked for musicians. rawk!, hehehe. Hope we can plan something. =)
current mood: okay
current music: Artist – Exit 10 – One Pure and Holy Passion
