A lil summary of each days:
Tuesday! First Day: Got my schedule, met up with friend and was planning on eating breakfast but didn't because I got to school a lil late. Went to my classes and got syllabi. It was actually fun because we got to play the 'get to know' you games. Some of the classes were fun anyways. I found out I have 3rd lunch..of 4 lunches. At least i don't have fourth lunch. :D
Wednesday. 2nd Day: I ate breakfast with my friend. (: In all my classes, I had a couple of friends to hang with. Thats always good, right? I have FIRST lunch! Yipee! After school, I kinda butt in front of someone (driving) because I needed to get out..Sometimes I think I'm a really rude driver. I will try and work on that. I was rushing to get to Gillenwaters court because it was CHS's first tennis match!-I played doubles and lost 2 games. 4-6; 2-6. Not too bad for a beginner eh? haha..xD
Thursday! 3rd Day: HELLO DAY ASSEMBLY! *waves frantically with hands* Lol. Not bad. Good start for the first assembly compared to last years and the year before that. Actually laughed here and there. SO, yup it was good. Lunch-I felt disliked because this girl *eye rolled* me... But, I'm not going to dislike her. Because that wouldn't do me any good. I need to remember what my cousin said: "You can't please everyone." Even though I felt unaccepted at that time..I must be accepting to others.
Friday. 4th Day: TODAY! In the morning, I did not eat breakfast with her because I was tired so I decided to sleep in like one whole hour. Then drove to school and got there around 7:50 to find out there were no more parking space! >:O But luckily, there was one last one which required me to parallel park. The other ppl in front of me just didn't want to do that I guess. THank God I can parallel park pretty decently. Ended up not putting a scratch on my car at all. I'm so proud of myself. haha. xD And got to class around 7:57. lolz. Whew* Can't wait till they get the freakin construction fixed! Gahh. I hope that gets fixed over the weekend so there are places to park! Geez.. Oh yeah, in Coro, (Choir in Espanol) we got to try an otis cookies! mmmm..those things are AHMAZING! lol. Its a fundraiser for CHS CHoir. SO, if anyone is interested, CONTACT MEE! >:D thanks for reading~
Some things I learned about myself!
>I am left brained. I mean..I'm left brain dominant. Which just means I think logically and analytically. Not as free as right brainers.
>I am a kinestheic learner. Which means I learn best by moving around and touching things. I am also a visual learner..(:

Rejection
I've been rejected. Not once, but maybe twice? I've also rejected others..='/ Yep, tear* I don't think its necessarily my fault that I was rejected. But, just some things happen..and therefore, he don't want to associate with me anymore. I can't really help it. I don't want to force people to be my friend or anything. But, everyone has been through rejection. And Yes, it really hurts. God especially knows about rejection. He was rejected a bajillion times and has been ongoing rejected by people who don't seek him or accept his as their Lord and Savior. Me being rejected is like nothing compared to his.
[Throughout his earthly life, Jesus was constantly exposed to personal criticism and rejection. At the beginning of His ministry, His own townsfolk at Nazareth tried to hurl Him down from the brow of the hill (luke 4:29) The religious and political leaders constantly argued with HIm and conspired to KILL him. At length He was arrested and brought to trial Pilate and Herod. EVen though He was guiltless of the accusations, He was denounced as an enemy of God AND man, and not worthy to live. How did He respond to criticism and rejection? First, with steadfastness. He didn't tone down His message, nor did He stop doing what He knew was right. Second, with strength. AHead of HIm was the Crosss- but He did not loose courage or shrink from what He knew was God's will. Third, with submission. When Herod prodded Him to defend himself,"He answered him nothing" (Luke 23:9). ONly one thing mattered: Fulfilling God's purpose for His life. Now, how will we meet criticism?]
No, I did NOT write that whole paragraph..lol. But that would be amazing if I did..I just retyped it for you all out there who has experienced rejection. Now to answer that question, How will we meet rejection? Well, I want to live like Jesus did. He is our example and we are his followers. So, I must use the Fruit of the Spirit. That's the only way to continue loving others even if you were rejected. Just keep in mind, Jesus loves you even if that guy or girl doesn't! How do we know that he loves us? Christ died for us. Not only died, but was willing to die for us. "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us." (1 John 3:16) Isn't it awesome? God died for you and me...his love is unfailing. If only I can remember that for the rest of my life, then maybe I won't ever be heartbroken. Or, if I do get heartbroken, I can get over it quick! :)
So, maybe I have been hurt and whatnot. But I've learned, the only way to get over it is NOT getting a new guy. Or not trying to make them jealous. Not being mean to him..Something I need to work on. But, being yourself and living for God. God is the only one who won't let you down/disappoint you because he is there for you no matter what you're going through. He will ALWAYS be there if you just acknowledge his presence and invite him to your 'screwed up' life. I know this because when I fell hard and I looked up to him; he just gave me this amazing strength and love. When I'm worried, I look into the Bible and ask him to speak to me. It works because afterwards, My mind is at peace and I can fall asleep without anymore worries. WHen I feel like I can't run anymore during Tennis Practice, I call out to him, God, give me strength so I can finish this race (even though I'm about to pass out due to the heat and lack of water)! Before I know it, I'm done. The afterward feeling is so great. Running not only builds me up physically but makes me healthy emotionally. Words just can't explain that feeling of Christ in your life. Go experience it for yourself. Don't sit and wait for God to come to you. YOu have to go and get it. Like EVERYONE says, "GO FOR IT!" >:D I pray that people, especially UKW, will look to you God, not only when he's down and depressed, but look up to you everyday and live for you. He needs you in his life because he is (i think) lacking your unfailing love. I need help too. My goal everyday is to live with the fruits of the Spirit. -Love, joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, GEntleness, Faithfulness, & Self Control.- Help me to love you from the inside out. Thank you Lord. I can't wait to sing praises to you at church! =D Thanks to Jen, we are going to be singing a new song called, "From the Inside Out." its soo awesome! Now, I just gotta be patient for Sunday to get here. :)

Vacation?
Another lil Blab on the Canada Trip..(just some thoughts that I took a note of.
Before I left Spfd to go to Canada, I was determined to have God in my life through the whole trip. The week before we left, I felt God's presence everywhere. It was an awesome feeling. Just so awesome that I really didn't want to leave for Canada...If I had a choice at that time, I would've stayed in Springfield. But, it was too late to change. So off to the trip I flew~
On the way to the airport, I tried to breathe in the whole city because I knew I wouldn't be able to take it with me to Toronoto..I'd have to wait ONE WHOLE WEEK. That's really not TOO bad right? WEll, it felt like..a week of torture almost. ALMOST, not quite. lol.
Moving on...on the way there, a lil problem occured, I'll call it the first trial. Our flight was cancelled. So, I prayed for a way to get to Toronto before the night would end. & A miracle happens! Its like HALLELUJAH!! =D We get to Toronto, and have a blast. I think the first/second day was my favorite of the whole trip. :) I took some sweet photos & awesome food. (:
3rd day- We leave to Montreal. I'm a lil excited because I didn't have any idea what I was headed for. I turn into a pretty cranky person because of the enviroment..I think thats what it was. Some of the time, I really enjoyed, but overall it just sUcked! W/ a CAPITAL 'U'.
5th day we arrive back in Toronto. Toronto was then considered home sweet home. Because we just really hated that bus. WAY too many people and food was getting a lil old.
6&7th day. Not too bad. I had some good fun. If that makes any sense. lol.
After the trip, when I got back, I had a new perspective in life.
I've learned that, because of the different atmosphere, people, and 'world' that I was in which lasted only for a week, my attitude and thoughts were flip-flopped. My once loving and caring self had evaporated into the skies. I had become greedy for money and didn't have much respect for others. I wasn't loving or caring in ANY way..I was kinda 'dead'. My body was there..in Toronto and the aiports, but my soul (life with JESUS) was still in Springfield. I'm really glad I was able to experience it though. I won't be travelling for awhile. Ever since I joined the Worhsip TEam, thats like ALL that I look forward to nowadays. Missing a week was like MORE than I wanted to Miss. I'm glad I'm back in this lil town that I strongly started to dislike before I went to Canada. But, I know that it must SUCK to not be in your home sweet home. I pray for those military/army people and missionaries. Or the refugees like my parents once were. When they escaped to the States. I'm blessed to be born in the US. I really am. I thank God for everything that has happened. Not that I wanted the Vietnam War to happen. But, without it, I think I would've been born in Vietnam. Or maybe not born at all. But I know that God has plans for everyone. And he knew from before my parents were born, that they would come to the New World. :)

TENNIS!!=D
I've FiiiiiiiiNally found it!
THEEEE amazing sport just for me! >:D
I'm soo freaking happy.
this is definitely not normal..cuz I usually blog when I'm depressed or angry..
Anywhoos, why am I so happy? Well, I have always been a lil..hm, how should I put it? Jealous? Yes, I envied those people who had a sport that they were BA (badass) AT. As in they were good at it & had a passion for it. You know? You can tell when someone is enjoying the sport vs. just playing because they HAVE to (does this ring a bell ppl? PE?) lol. well, when i was younger I had dance class..I enjoyed it A HECK LOT. I got pretty good at it that I skipped a level..which led me to have not so many friends. =/ Thus, I dropped it and felt like trying for something new. So, in 08, (8th grade) my PE COach said Its a good year to try out track. Cuz, it could be a sport you really enjoy and would like to continue in high school. I took up track. It was fun and all.. I was definitely NOT the best but not the worst either. The only thing I lacked was 'pung you' friends..cuz I was a loner in middle school NO JOKE!. Soooo, in 09 the beginning of freshman yr, I found some friends who were doing Softball. Now, keep in mind, I had NO experience whatsoever. I figured it doesn't matter, I have some friends and I just wanted to have funn because as people tell you, thats what lifes about. Well, not exaclty the sport for me..but I gave it a shot, until school started up at least. hah then I dropped because I was a scaredy cat and dislikes hard balls. ;) And now..2010..what do I find? TENNIS! =D Ahh, why would I choose that out of all sports? I mean theres volleyball and basketball..so many sports to choose from. One of the reasons, I had a lil experience from the past. Another reason, I played a bit with my brother and his friends, it looked sooo fun! Also, I knew some folks on the team that were really really nice! :) The last reason that made me do it fo'sho: I got a COACH, named Chris. He was right there always there..though we never talked or anything. and then suddenly, one night, because of a bachelorette party..we facebook and chat.Thanks SO much LORD JESUS for him to be willing to teach meee! I don't know how much to say thanks. But yeah thanks. As I've survived through these years..trying to find what I was looking for, my sport, my desire, I realized that the only reason why you gave me this was because I decided to get closer to you..Baptsim and having a relationship with my Heavenly Father. :) This is soo true: Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.【Psalm 37:3-4】 Its because I decided to trust in you and do good that you have given me my deisres. Thats just SICK (AS IN AWESOME)
SOme analogy that I just thought of...Its YOU who are making me run this race. Kinda like a car on the racetrack. You are the driver who controls my life who no one can see. They only see the outside of the car, AKA My face! Picking and unloading people are just people coming across my life. They then realize that you are in me. Some realzie anyways..You're driving me to the most awesomest locations. & taking me places I've never beeen. Your plans are just so amazing. Ah, I love you GOd. <3 You sure know how to plan things. I can't wait till the future. I'm looking forward to being with you in Heaven because I know you have amazing stuff stored up there. My future is filled with hopes because I know that YOU are in it. Thanks so much God. Well I should sleep now..for tomorrow is another day and I got some tennis to play~

Pung You.
So, I had a pungyou who was really really encouraging..and I looked up to him. In many ways.. Sadly, I lost him. Not by death. Nothing horrible like that. You wanna know how? Well, to sum it up, it was caused by a number(s) AKA Age difference. He's like 5 years apart from me. And just because of this, well, I think its due to this, we stopped communicating. Or maybe it was the lil 'drama' that made us seperate as close friends. I don't really know why he stopped texting exactly. I'm just going to assume that he doesn't want to talk to me because I might get the wrong idea. I never wanted to be in a relationship. I'll admit, i Have considered it, but all I truly want to do is make someone feel significant, be encouraging and just a friend.. you know? This is what I wanted for myself. And the only way to do that, is to be or treat others how you want to be treated. From now on, I want to be an encouraging and joyful person. No matter how they treat me. I'm going to live as God would. Loving, Caring, and Trusting. The main thing I learned out of this lesson..is Some friends are there for a season, others for a reason, and there are a few for life. He was just there for a reason.. To make me realize that friends will let you down. But God, won't.. =) Psalm 41,"Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me." This is basically saying his friend has backstabbed or perhaps let him down. Thats how I would put it. And, though he has done that..God is love. 1 John 4:16-21. "We love because he first loved us. If anyone says,"IloveGod," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: WHoever loves God must also love his brother." I don't hate my pungyou..I kinda wish we could go back to normal..how we could talk and joke about whatever. But,maybe he is just one of my friends for a season. Looking on the bright side, I have more time to do other things. Instead of having to check my phone every 5 seconds to see if he texted back or not. It provides me some time to work diligently (hard) and be more focused on the more important tasks I should be doing. =D

Facebook Findings.
Everything is a choice. Whether you stay silent or use your voice-- run far away or decide to stay-- the endurance you’ll face can be bitter or sweet. You could lie where you are or move your feet. Every situation has a steering wheel. You can drive away or try and heal. Jesus is the master of every single thing, but he allows us to let us choose our course alongside the king. Life can be held by a thread or rope; you have a choice between despair and hope.

Experiences Experiences..o.O
Canada. Trip. = Fail.
As much as I've ALWAYS wanted to go...I don't think I took the time and thought about all the things that might or could go wrong with this trip. I'll list all the 'bad' outcomes first..
1. Gained some weight. (that's not too bad, cuz COach did say i need to eat) haha
2. Got more acne. -_- (this was unnecessary)
3. Had to buy a new flight ticket which means waste MORE $$$.
4. Lost time..(I could've used that week to practice tennis & piano!)
5. Lost my relationship with God. (the most important one)
'Good' Outcome:
1. I got more materials..(clothes)
2. Gained better understanding on how flying works.
3. Been to a BIG city and the transportation-subway, street car, bus)
4. Tasted a heck load of foods!
5. Been to Montreal, Quebec City, & thousand islands.
6. Saw a variety of malls.
7. Learned that Home sweet home is ALWAYS the BEST!
8. Realized its difficult for missionaries..you have to have strong faith to be able to keep a relationship with God and travel.
Its not as easy as it sounds.. Sometimes you just wanna go home. & THat's all that matters.
9. My cousin has contact with her other fam bam! =]
10. Out of everything, it was good/bad experience. That I wouldn't wanna go through again. ;)
