Rain it down on us You know you’re serious about competition when you practice in the rain. Although it was not the most pleasant practice, there’s something about playing in the rain that makes you come alive. So instead of going to yet another going away party for Tina Koo (seriously, she’s not leaving usContinueContinue reading “(20th) Day of Summer”

Adventures with Tina Koo//Stuff I’m going to do Today felt like any other Saturday; I slept till I had to wake up because someone was coming over to our house, yet my guts were bursting with excitement.  A while back I asked Tina and Alice to do one last baking day with a church friendContinueContinue reading “(19th) Day of Summer”

Finally weekend!It’s been a pretty long week, I can’t believe I’m halfway through my summer job. I’m really starting to grow used to the kids, but at the same time, I will never get used to some of their annoying habits. Today I went to print out pictures for a little project I’m doing (calledContinueContinue reading “(18th) Day of Summer”

Inception I came home not long ago from watching “Inception”, and goodness, Christopher Nolan, I don’t know how you do it! I was never that into thrillers before, but lately I find myself watching more and more of those movies. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do in the future for a whileContinueContinue reading “(17th) Day of Summer”

A classic summer night It’s nights like these that make me wish I didn’t have work tomorrow, which is sort of an ironic thing for me to say, because today was payday! Tonight, I went to support my friend Tina Koo as she prepares to leave for missions with YWAM/DTS in New Zealand for 5ContinueContinue reading “(16th) Day of Summer”

God has a strange sense of humor Last night as I laid away in bed, I prayed that the worship session wouldn’t be as difficult as it seemed, and that the kids will really learn to not be afraid. I also left the entire matter into God’s hands, and prayed that He would help meContinueContinue reading “(15th) Day of Summer”

Prepping and Praying This morning Maria (the lady who runs the day camp I work at), asked me to lead the older kids in worship tomorrow because the guy who usually does it wouldn’t be here. I must admit, I was half shocked and half terrified at the request. In all my experiences of leading worship,ContinueContinue reading “(14th) Day of Summer”

Patience. This is the first summer I found work, and now that I’m getting into the swing of things, I sort of wish that I didn’t. Mama told me in the beginning that now I’ll understand what it feels like to work day in and day out. It’s quite exhausting I must say, but itContinueContinue reading “(13th) Day of Summer”

I love surprises. Yesterday was supposed to be the 11th day of summer, but I was exhausted when I got home and I couldn’t keep up the daily blogs thing. Streak ends at 10. So today 10 of us went to Ellen’s Stardust Diner in the city to celebrate our dear friend Jon Kim’s birthday.ContinueContinue reading “(12th) Day of Summer”

Flashback Tonight I was able to venture out to Cunningham park for the NY Philharmonic Concert with some friends, two of whom are like fidgety little children with almost no appreciation for classical music (John & Austin, never again!), one tried very hard to get into it, and one was probably shaking his head atContinueContinue reading “(10th) Day of Summer”
