Friends.

Surrounding yourself with the people...you want yourself to be.
Its SO Important. THat just hit me tonight when Phil was talking to us.
i love when he talks. He's just a beast at that stuff. I'm so thankful for him and Darla. And Liana and Matthew. + the SCC. They are truly amazing.
I did have a little negative thought -our youth group is starting to break apart- yesterday..when no one showed up to that thing. But tonight helped me to think..our youth group is just starting out small. Its nice that its small. we get to know each other better. Somewhat. Except the age difference. Yeah anyways..if I just stop hanging with the people who I don't want to be. Like homosexual, druggies, and etc. I can perhaps be closer to God and walk with him. I don't want to get away from God. I want to be loving towards everyone even those who are mean to me. I hope that I can stop feeling like I'm a loner. Sometimes it gets to me. that I don't have a bf. I get mad at myself when I don't talk to guys who I consider nice cool guy friends. But when I'm around them, I can't even peep a word. Its SO frustrating that my ability to make friends is practically not possible. UGH. I agree that I need to talk more as my cousin says but then again thats just not my personality and my friend says I shouldn't change my personality. I should be myself. Because I'm Lisa. And plus guys say that you should be yourself. I'm just trying to find meeee! SOme days I wish I could just have a guy who would be there for me through everything. BUt then again, I don't really have time to feed that guy the love. Since my life is full of hw, music, and __fill in the blank_. I need to set my priorites straight. I need God to handle the stress/anger. Lastly, I need to sleep. Well thanks for listening to me blab. lol. THat's all for tonight. Might have to 'cheat' the system later..~ ;)

ADVICE para mi.

IB has suddenly hit ME.
It was like a WAVE that crashed over my head.
I'm barely breathing..
My heart pounds like 1000 miles per hour. (not possible, but you get the idea)
I need to relax.
Close my eyes. &
Take deep breathes of the available air.
Lisa, you must remember that mom and dad aren't working their butts off for nothin'.
They aren't just working for their own benefits.
They work for their children. which includes you.
So they can meet your basic needs each day.
And you must use your time wisely so you can benefit yourself and them in the end.
IB may be very hard and stressing. But keep in mind Lisa, its only TWO years.
2 years of studying vigorously,
testing,
reading difficult passages,
writing/analyzing poems and books,
trying to understand concepts,
speaking as if I were the best public speaker,
performing (piano LIVE),
playing (tennis),
dancing (salsa),
meeting the deadlines,
and walking the halls of Central.
Okay, so maybe this is practically a pre-college program.
You can handle it.
Even if you might be stressed out and not be getting enough sleep.
But, you aren't going to die if you try to do your best.
You aren't going to suffer as much as your mommy&daddy.
They work everyday to provide for your needs.
Even when they don't want to. or feel like..or sick. ='/
How can I be lazy and just lay around the house..?
How can I let them work for me so FREAKING hard..
when all I do is just stay at home.
Eat the breakfast.
Go to school.
COme home.
Lay around like a couch potato,
and get on facebook.
No Lisa, You aren't doing that.
THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE.!
Okay..
I need to focus.
And do all I can.
To Not give up.
Not give up on this opportunity..
I don't know if I can make it or not.
But, as long as I at least try.
Give it my best.
I know that
If i do fail,
I will fail beneficially.
I will be able to learn alot.
I need to use my head.
THINK.
And
LEARN.
You can do this!
Just believe in yourself.
& God. :)
P.S. The song that I'm listening to is so uplifting.
Some of the lyrics:
"when i call on Jesus, all things are possible~"
This isn't just irony. I believe...
This is a message from God. :)
He's telling me I can do anything through him. AMEN!

Exciting EVents; EE & HC

So..Friday was my deadline for the topic of my EE (extended essay)
And I really wanted to get out of the Vietnam War because I learnt it was mainly a political war. I mean, I don't think I can stick with that topic for TWO whole years!
So over the weekend, I was pondering and pondering and PONDERING..*drums fingers&
I originally hoped that God would give me the answer at fellowship. And believe it or not, on Sunday, I went there to find everyone watching a movie. In my head, I was thinking..I thought that we'd have a discussion. Kinda dissapointed but mainly glad to see everyone (esp. M) He's so freaking cool! He explained alot of what was the movie about and stuff and then Suddenly, a LIGHT BULB just popped up into my head! Why don't I write about the Japan and the CHina war? I've ALWAYS wanted to look into that too! So, Yeah..that's my topic! I just got to find some SOURCES somewhere..kinda difficult. Because not alot of people know about wingchun (kungfu.) I might have to tweek my question. Anywhos thats one of the exciting things that i have going on. :) & I really thank God for leading me to going to fellowship and finding a topic that I am really EXCITED about.!
The other exciting event is...SALSA CLUB. We're performing the day before HC at the HC assembly. I hope that me and J do well. :) I don't know if i want to go to Homecoming. If mom needs help, I might just not go..cuz it would be a waste of time right? I do need that extra time in hw and etc. But I would like to go out somewhere with my friends just to hang..Yeah, thats about all that I have going on..
OH WAIT. We also have a corn maze and just a hang out with the youth ppls. Hanging out with the Browns and the Youth makes me feel loved. lol. XD But its true. They are like the BEST fam ever! Yeup yeup. I think I'm done for sure now. :)!

To: UKW

Sometimes you have to learn to let go
and move on, chin up, look ahead.
Life is like riding a bicycle.
You need to move forward or else
you won't get anywhere.
When teaching a child how to ride a two wheel bike for the first time,
you tell them keep pedaling keep pedaling. GO GO GO.
Because you know that if they don't pedal,
they will fall down and get hurt.
The most important lesson I learned because of this friend is:
Always treasure the people you love most.
Because you never know, the next day they may be gone..
& if you do fall down,
get back up.
Life moves on and so can you.
With God, anything is possible.
Dream big dreams and live life to the fullest
cuz you only got one chance this life time.
Don't dwell on the past,
instead, cherish each moment
like its the last.
(the last part sounds like a quote from somewhere..)
But, i was just trying to rhyme ahha.
Yeah..anyways I feel like through him, I've learned alot.
This may sound kinda bad but isn't the 'wise' the ones who learn from other ppls mistakes?
