Brother's Appreciation!
A picture is worth a thousand words... Actually.. not this picture. It is a strange one that needs some explanation. Our sister small group and my small group decided to throw a brother's appreciation thing. As you can tell... we dressed up as Harry Potter characters. It was fun putting everything together.
Some dementors crashed our party. haha!

Tommies
I miss my mommy already! At church, the kids were forced to say why they love their mommies. Here are some of the replies.. I love my mom because:
- She's my mom.
- She cooks good food.
- She's sweeter than ice cream.
- She buys me toys.
- She takes care of me.
- (My favorite) She "beli" me candy.... Beli means 'buy' in Indonesian. haha!
I went to church today to find that wearing Toms is like the new black.

Top 10 Myths about Introverts
I stole this from my sister's blog. Reminds me of me, an Introvert.
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

Meyers Brig test
I took the MBTI test and results show that I'm INFJ. 100% introverted, 25% intuitive, 25% feeling, 22% judging.
Here is what Joe Butt has to say about INFJ:
Here is what Joe Butt has to say about INFJ:
Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.
INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic justice' is appealing to the INFJ.
"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends. Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.
INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.
Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.
Introverted iNtuition
Introverted intuitives, INFJs enjoy a greater clarity of perception of inner, unconscious processes than all but their INTJ cousins. Just as SP types commune with the object and "live in the here and now" of the physical world, INFJs readily grasp the hidden psychological stimuli behind the more observable dynamics of behavior and affect. Their amazing ability to deduce the inner workings of the mind, will and emotions of others gives INFJs their reputation as prophets and seers. Unlike the confining, routinizing nature of introverted sensing, introverted intuition frees this type to act insightfully and spontaneously as unique solutions arise on an event by event basis.

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.
