Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of lent. I have never actually brought myself to do it but this year is different. I'm going to make the jump. Instead of giving up something for 40 days, I will do something for 40 days.

Inspired by Jaeson Ma's 365 Days of Love, I will do 40 days acts of love. Sounds simple enough yes? But actually it's not that easy. I want to learn how to love others better and each day I will consciously commit myself everyday to an act of love with God as my catalyst. It may be dropping off baked cookies/egg tarts to someones apartment to just calling someone to see how they're doing and listening to their problems/joys to just saying words of encouragement to someone to uplift them. I talked to Lily about this and she decided that she too would do lent and give up Facebook. We're going to do this together and talk about it each day to see how we did. And I will update my blog everyday about each act of love to keep myself accountable and also you, whatever readers I have can keep me accountable too. It'll be good to keep a record too.

Yesterday, I had the hardest time to figure out what to do. We split up chores in our apt so I decided to take out the trash for my roommate as my act of love. I know its simple and small but I will step up my game aiite?! Start off small so people have lower expectations for you, so when you do something people will appreciate it more. hahah just kidding. Today I bought a friend yogurtland, but i'm going to try and be creative with this.

All right, 40 days, let's do this. I hope that in this process I grow closer to God. & I gottaconstantly check my heart and be reminded that these acts of love are from Him and not me. Intentions are so important.

Anyone of you guys giving up something for lent? Please do share!

Last Weekend Recap

All right, let's talk about last weekend. And as a special treat...I share with you some of my weekend with pictures!

On Friday, Jason, Ji and I drove to Fresno, all in separate cars (since we all had separate places to go after). What should have been a 4 hour drives to Jason's became a frickin 5.5 hour drive?!?!? ughs! haha but it was good, we got milk tea, visited his high school and then some shopping area. It was fun.

F.A.T. getting all hot and sexy for bed.

Jason let me borrow a sleeping shirt and it said "I put out." -______-

Then I departed these 2 lovelies in the morning to drive home to San Jose.

Something I wouldn't mind waking up to every morning.........not.

Then on Sunday, Jason drove up from Fresno for v-day dinner. Took him to Verde, my high school and middle school, Cupertino Village and then we had dinner at Vaso Azzurro in Mountain View. It was a cute italian restaurant where the service was really good and they also sang in italian.

The bruschetta was super yummy.

The salmon was tasty too.

The seafood fettucini I had was delicious!

mmm flan...nom nom jason never had it before because he is a nub.

A ho I found on the street.

So the manager came over and told us "You guys are the best looking couple in the restaurant right now, it's a shame you're hidden here in the corner!" LOL Didn't have the heart to break it to him that we weren't an actual couple. And uhhh we looked around and we didn't have much competition. it was like some random azn couples and 80% old couples. Which was sad because he said this out loud right next to the old couple seated next to us. hahaha but hey, thanks for the compliment!

out walking the street like hookers

Thanks Jason for coming up, for dinner and for the stuffed animal surprise and all in all, a wonderful and fun Valentines Day! :) I still owe you a surprise, don't worry, I got chu! hahaha

More stuff happened but I am too tired to type anymore. haha The rest of the weekend was quite tiring, but short and relaxing. Can't wait to be home for Spring Break.

The Truth Of It All

Some lessons are harder and take longer to learn. Time to overcome this weak spot and turn it around. Tiffany Wong doesn't let things own her.

sigh, i'm truly sorry, God be my strength in it all. It's the time of healing.

The Simple Joys In Life

My friend dropped her puppy off for me to babysit for a couple of hours. Isn't he SUPER cute?!?!?! You don't understand how excited I was when she asked me too. haha If you've read my old entries, you'd know i've been itching to play with a puppy or baby (which ever comes first) forevers. Louie chased me around and once it was all tuckered out from playing with my roommates and me, it napped next to me while I was trying to study. :)

haha okay enough with the superficialness of these latest entries...I will write something substantial later, perhaps tonight as I will most likely be procrastinating from studying my midterm that is tomorrow. I can not wait for friday to be here!

Contradictory Pairings

Let's say you go to Target or Albertson's or whatever and you bring up your items to the cashier and your items just don't seem right together. For example...

Baby diapers and adult diapers.

A funnel, a long tube and 2 gallons of milk.

An emo cd and a razor.

A pregnancy test and a bottle of alcohol.

A chain saw and a bottle of alcohol.

5 Barbies and a bottle of alcohol.

Okay, probably a lot of things and a bottle of alcohol. haha

Some things just don't go together. I'm just sayin'.......

A Little Bit Of My Heart Just Jumped

I don't know what it is...maybe the maternal instinct is finally kicking up or I don't even know, but for the past couple weeks i've had the HUGEST craving to play with babies and/or puppies. HEHE isn't that baby so cute? I love his smile and his fat cheeks! I hope when I have kids, they'll be fat babies because no one likes a skinny baby. Those are just disturbing. Well actually I hope my kid isn't chubby ASAP outta the womb, bc i'm such it's going to be a bitch already getting that little sucker out into the world but I hope afterwards he/she gets really chubby because that would make me really happy. hehe Well chubby only until he/she is like 5 because then they need to make friends and we all know society can be a bitch. *sigh* haha And those puppies are absolutely adorable! I could definitely spend a whole afternoon and more frolicking with them. :) :) :)

I think i'm going to re-volunteer at Noah's Place at church again so I can play with the babies. :) Okay, I really hope that didn't come off creepy. :(

Anyways, that is all!

Really Now???

Midterm tomorrow and just received an e-mail from the professor.

Hi everyone, Please make sure you use the restroom (potty) before the midterm exam. There will be no bathroom breaks allowed during the exam.  If you use the restroom, please wash your hands before entering the classroom.   Ethan

I didn't know what a restroom was but potty I do for sure! This was definitely an important e-mail. Sigh. Back to studying.
