Long time no see!

It's been such a long time since I updated! Busyness.. or just laziness? Probably both. So many things have happened since I wrote last... and so many things are going on currently.

Past events:
I turned 21.. yay!? Being 21 is overrated, but I'm blessed to have celebrated with family and friends. I can always count on Kevin to make be feel special too.

I started the Beth Moore study: Here and Now, There and Then. It's about a bible study on the book of Revelation. Pretty cooling hearing all the symbolisms and meanings behind a verse. I used to be scared thinking about reading Revelation, but it's not so scary when you go through it with amazing women by your side.

Banquet planning is a current event that I'm helping to plan. I'm doing Food specifically. But it's not too stressful when it comes to having connections with a very cool Chef.

I still go out to the Row every Friday nights. I love going down there, not for the reasons to have a good record on my application, but because I love meeting new people and forming new relationships. I also love me Skid Row family. We're all different shapes and sizes, age and race. It's the perfect family besides my own family back home.

Future?
I'm scared of the future. I don't know what to do, but to have an open mind for what God has in store for me.
Verse of the day: Proverbs 16:9. A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Amen to that, even if it's so hard to believe!

It seems like I have done nothing since I wrote, but it really has been busy. From breakdowns to possible change of career, to building up my community again to pharmacy school apps.. I won't go into it. In the midst of this, God is still good to me.

I'll end with an updated family portrait.

Note: it's supposed to be a heart.

Amazing!

Great quote of the day!

This weekend was amazing! MOCA on Friday, sold so many light bulbs! I hope to make this a business someday with my sister.. I'll start with a simple website or something.. that'll be great! but after finals.

Saturday, I went to TJ, Mexico to play and feed orphans. So overwhelming to see the difference a border can impact on standard of living.

Sunday, Got to rest and be with my amazing boyfriend. (: Oh, we also bought a couch for our apt. I look at it every single time I walk into the door. Not used to it yet.

But yeah.. I like this quote.
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.  -Morley

MOCA crunch Time!

Three more days til MOCA: Human Trafficking Awareness! As my part of the event planning, I got to help with my favorite thing to do.. I get to make things to sell! I love making things!

okok.. So here's the low down. This year's cause is Human Trafficking Awareness, in which we will try to raise money for women and children in Thailand. In partnership with Children of Grace, the concept is 24 x 24 x 24. We will try to raise $24 for each sex slave, spend 24 hours to share the gospel.. I forgot the what the last 24 is supposed to be.. but this is such a good cause to make a dent in the modern day slavery.

Because Sex trafficking is densely populated in Red light districts, We thought of a good way to incorporate the past of these to women and children and tying it with a new hope. Hence; our brand name is called Hope Lights!

Check out some of the bulbs we've painted so far!

V-day!

I <3 Kevin so much! I'm ever so thankful for everything he has done and thankful for having him in my life. He took me to this really nice restaurant called Icugini. Troy was our personal host and we got to eat appetizers, entrées, and desserts! Who'd a thought I would try expensive truffles! Yum! 

We got to stroll on Santa Monica Pier after.. to shed some pounds we just consumed. Ended the night with a little song I serenaded Kevin with. (:

Triple date

I love the feeling when midterms are over and we don't have to study anymore!
This weekend was definitely a chill weekend. What a better way to enjoy a midterm and study free weekend none other than have a date. A triple date!

Dinner at CPK, topped with a run to Target to get candy before going to the movie theater. We watched King's speech and ended the night with playing Tetris battle on Facebook until 2 in the morning. Great weekend!
