Beach Day I finally made it to the beach today for the first time in years. Although it was planned very hastily and very last-minute, the day definitely ended on a good note. We wanted to watch the meteor shower also, but I think some of us were pretty tired from the events of theContinueContinue reading “(39th) Day of Summer”

I’m supposed to be up in 6 hours doing last minute food shopping for our beach outing. I am so screwed. Today has been an absolute dread. The trip wasn’t all that exciting, and the ride home, well, let’s just say finding bathrooms in the middle of the BQE is NO FUN AT ALL. WithContinueContinue reading “(38th) Day of Summer”

Awkward Turtle I went shopping with Austin, John Chan, and J.Kim at BJs earlier in the night, and we met a fellow Seekers leader for the upcoming year. You see, we spotted someone sporting the bright green Jesus Day Ruined shirt from this year, first in the parking lot, and then several times again insideContinueContinue reading “(37th) Day of Summer”

Keeps going So I just took a 10-15 minute nap in my brother’s room. I’m not sure if I can call it a nap though; I think I was falling in and out of consciousness; it kept making me think of Inception. I’ve been going through the day on 6 hours of sleep each day,ContinueContinue reading “(36th) Day of Summer”

Iris made me a friendship bracelet today. I feel kind of bad because all the things she’s gotten me thus far were all jokingly asked for (ok, yea, just the iPod). I’m actually surprised that sometimes people take my sarcasm seriously. I’m kind of good at just changing my mood with my facial expression; soContinueContinue reading “(36th) Day of Summer”

Six years ago… I met some of the best people I’ll ever know, and since then the 4 of us have managed to keep in touch with one another. Two of them are two of my best friends who I met in 3rd grade; I say two because they’re twins. To this day, I stillContinueContinue reading “(35th) Day of Summer”

Isaiah 60″Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings toContinueContinue reading “(34th) Day of Summer”

Viva La VidaToday was supposed to be filming day, except Ryan overslept on me by 3 hours. I ended up using my own camcorder, but I don’t think the camera-handling was that great considering. A lot of the angles/shots were a lot more harder to get than I anticipated. So for most part of theContinueContinue reading “(33rd) Day of Summer”

Achiever to Relater “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. Then all these things shall be added onto you.” -Matthew 6:33 For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about traits of being “achievers & relaters). According to the quiz we took last Friday, I am somewhere down the middle. SunnyContinueContinue reading “(32nd) Day of Summer”

The start I held a very informal leaders meeting at my house today. Originally everyone said they would be able to make it, but this afternoon like 4 of them texted me saying they weren’t able to come. I’m not trying to make them feel guilty for saying this, but it would’ve been nice(r) toContinueContinue reading “(31st) Day of Summer”
