the six letter person

no. not andrew. not werdna. someone else. and i know its all sad to be losing him i guess. but like. why? do you want him to remain where he is, suffering every day, isolated from his friends? and we know hes christian. and we know hes going to be in a better, happier place, where he can smile, and look down upon us. and smile some more. would you rather have scenario 2 or scenario 1? sure scenario 1 means we can still see him, but thats only gonna last for so long, and to no avail. would you wanna look at a sad sad face? and sure, scenario 2 means we're gonna have to wait a while, but when we get to that happier place, you know what, you can laugh all you want.

and you know what, maybe this is part of gods ultimate plan. maybe his church wasnt close enough. maybe joyson was the glue in that church, to make them bond together and pray. and maybe, maybe thatll last. so yall, dont be so sad. we know. going through that type of process is sad, but you know what, with all sufferings, god brings grace to go through, and he brings happiness afterwards. after the rain, the sun shines 10 times brighter.

wowzers

my blog=dead again? was it getting too deep? imma keep this post @ what i have already. since. im tired. from hw.

ahh

i feel that my relationship with god is being refreshed. i feel him in my prayers, i feel his spirit stirring in me. like seriously. i feel closer to him and that im starting to please him in my being a godly example and in my showing forth of him and in my god-like-ness.

anyhoos. just. sharing. a little. but. now. for. looser subjects. haha. i sucked in orchestra. actually, we were pretty good. and i was so tired yesterday. like seriously, i slept so much when i came back. and when i had to do the cm preparation, i was surprised i could actually play. i was like O_O hahaha. yeah. today was chris's bday. and i felt like a sucka
and i totally forgot. and he said it was okay. but when i tried talking to him, it was like blech. but then it was always like that. sooo... iono. w/e. i guess ill remember next year! (psh, not. lol) jkjk. haha. i suck at doing a flare. i can never seem to get my hands down fast enough. -.- anyways. all for now. later guys!

retreat

=freakin amazing. and i never want to leave where i was with god @ the retreat man. i was like. holy kazizzles. it was. the closest ive ever gotten to god. and, i never want to stray again. like no matter what. seriously, like.. summertime, wow. i was like, numb. the spirit was like "POOF" and like, now ive come back. but like... before this retreat, all the things happening in my life were just killing me. seriously. and for a moment, for some moments, the bible didnt help. all i could feel was the hurt of all the things happening in my life. and i was so entangled in that, that i just, started to feel numb inside again. and like, even though i made all those deep posts, like, it took a while until i felt it. and still, my prayers, they felt so meaningless. so pointless. and then came the retreat. and like, all the topics were so.. man. so encouraging. like fighting the good fight of faith, conducting yourself in the house of god, and not neglecting the gift that god gave you. it just helped me so much. because im feeling that im not doing those things. im not fighting the good fight, im just letting satans tricks get to me. im not doing good at conducting myself either. like, i feel that i havent given god enough, that im not an honorable vessel for him to live in, that im like a house made of hay. but i need to be a house of gold. but it takes time. it takes training. it takes the desire for gods house, a type of zeal like no other. it takes some tribulations, some hard times. it takes honroing and glorifying his name, and nothing speaks louder than through being a good example. and i felt like, im doing just, so so at being a good example, just so so at setting a godly standard at school. and then, neglecting the gift. and i learned, to just speak in the meetings. cuhs even if your only the thumb in the body of god, maybe sometimes, you need that thumb, to give the extra support, the extra help. and wow. when i was praying these things, with the depths of my being, because its the least i can give god, i just felt a feeling like no other. a refreshment from god. saying, im with you. ill do this in you. dont worry. ive given my son, what will i not withhold form you? and i was like, thank you. because, all we can give him is ourselves, our lives, our beings. and i felt, that i wasnt even doing that, and even if i was, i wasnt making my life good enough for him to accept. and, i just pray, that he will be able to do this in me, that i could please him, that i could see him smile, and say, "well done my faithful servant"

wow. words cant express what im feeling right now.

mazing

good friday today. retreat today. m-azing. lol. yeah. this is gonna be my last post before i head off to the mountains. yeah. i got so much better with kirby and meta knight. i played a brawl against cpu (hard) nd i got like, 13 kills with kirby and like 10 with meta knight. chyeah. anyways. uh. yeah. thats a short post for today i guess. because i dont feel like saying anything. haha.

hey guys

if you wanted a post yesterday, too bad. haha. i had a streak of consecutive posts. but i stopped yesterday. because i was uber busy yesterday. had homework from every subject plus orchestra. haha. shivanti highlighted my 4 birthmarks on my face which make an almost square, but its still a trapezoid. and now shes obsessed with them. ahahaha. anyways, today was interesting. andy shouldve tucked in his shirt. i mean, i tucked it in man. that shows something. i can almost do the flare. i just need better timing. all raymond lin knows how to do is the six step. which isnt too hard. flares take skittles. yum! (: anyways.. yeah. tomorrows purple day. i plan on dressing up. jeremy wang's dragon shirt is sooo much cooler man. archie said they sell it at walmart. too bad im too lazy to go there. hahaha. yeah. i dont look forward to tomorrows pep rally. i mean, the past like.. 2 weeks, we've only had 1 actual "unwasted" 1 hour lunch, b/c the rest were class meetings, asb speeches, etc etc. but. whatever. friday is retreat. whoooo. as of tomorrow, 2 MORE DAYSS! chyeah. no skewl on friday. thats pretty tight. my uncle is coming tomorrow. he was supposed to come today, but theres a snow storm, which is basically delaying the flight. so yeah. aiight. i think gods brought me through the storm. thanks god.

dude

sorry if the past posts were a little to religious. i mean, i had such an emotional burden on my shoulders. and i was not only encouraging myself through those posts, but i was also trying to encourage you guys, when you guys have hard times, sad times, when you guys have trouble and suffeirng. hey, thats wat friends are for. <--such a cliche

anyways. ssbb (super smash bros brawl) is tight as heck. sooo fun. haha. im good with kirby (as usual), meta knight, and ike. they're pretty tight. me and ben (negro foundation) pwn. soo fun dude. YESH/ its like. pwnage dude. mwahhaahahahah.

~retreat in FIVE MORE DAYS!~

negro foundation

man. church totally killed my emo-ness. which im happy about. everything we were talking about was so encouraging. and today, in acts 16. how paul got sick (showing the spirit was forbidding him to go to asia) and instead of rebelling against the spirit, he just went with it. so i mean, if the spirit makes it so i shouldnt go to social (ex. my mom doesnt let me) then im not even gonna try to rebel. ill let the spirit lead me throughout my life. and i need to pray that i will LET the spirit lead in my life more often. yeah. and the whole suffering produces a strengthened chrsitian life thing. so i mean, i guess god is just testing me. like gold is tested. gold is burned (which is basically like having the gold "suffer"), but when it comes out of the fire, its perfected and refined, made super shiny. and thats like us. when the hard times are over, we're refined, and we've become a little holier in gods eyes. and seriously, living a good christian life, training oneself unto godliness, is basically impossible without having holiness. which means, by the transitive property <--nerddd , that living a good chrsitian life, training yourself to be more godly (shunning sin and such), is IMPOSSIBLE without all the sufferings of everyday life. and right now gods like, giving me a COMP. huge test. a lot of things that are really causing emotional pain. but you know what? in the end, imma come of refined and even better than i was before.

yeah. a lot of encouragement from that. look, im already growing in god. ive got all these spiritual posts. (:

woah.

this whole day. i was trying to be positive. trying to be happy. trying to run away from all the things in my life that seem to just make it fall down and down and down. and, i think i found it. the bible was such a relief to me, such a relief, that there were so many verses that encourage you through all the hard times, all the pain, all the suffering, because you're trying to do the right thing, trying to obey gods command. That god has a reason for all the name calling, all the loneliness, all the sadness. because its all part of his will to make you set apart and sanctified for him, all a part of having a strong christian walk with him. ya know? and thats what ive been praying for. so i thought, why would i be sad if god is fulfilling my prayers? God is such a faithful and awesome god. and i just thank him that i have the privilege to have been a recipient of his blessing, a recipient of the sanctification for him, a recipient of being able to live a holy life for him. but sometimes, its so. hard. Read Romans 8. its really encouraging. and i remember i memorized it a year ago. actually, i just recently finished the saga of memorizing romans 5-8. with some intervals in between. but the problem is, the most recent ones that ive memorized was romans 5-6. and i memorized romans 7-8 quite long ago. but anyways, from romans 5-8, there's some encouraging word. 2 Timothy 1. Also. The beginning verses of James 1. Yeah.
so i found a lot of encouraging in that.

gosh

i feel like im turning emo.

bipolarness

okay. white represents my happiness. and black represents my hating-ness. so anyways, yesterday,. i got SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWLLL. WHOO! something to add to the negro foundation (me and ben) (:. yes, we're negros. lmfao. jkjk. hahah. yeah. its pretty fun. cool features.

now for blackness. because. i totally dislike what is happening in my life right now. and maybe its not other people's fault. maybe its my own fault. and everywhere i go with all yall, everything you talk about is social this and social that. and maybe i wanna go to social, but maybe im not allowed to go at the same time. and. im still debating with myself. but i still think that im not going to go. and maybe its my fault that everyones making me feel left out by going to social. but i mean, what am i gonna do there? just stand around. because seriously, sometimes when you guys are having pure fun, im always left out. maybe its my fault for being like that. i seriously have NOOOOO idea. but. ugh. just having a little dilemma. with dealing with everything in my life. and. i NEED that church retreat. i need it. so i can be with my friends, who arent so shallow as to thinking about social all that time, and i need a break from the rest of the society. i need a sanctuary where i can be set apart for god. i hope the retreat will help with that.

UGH. anyways. end of my bipolar post.

2nd post today

yes. 2 posts in one day. anyways. i wanna say something i said in the cbox. about elections. ya know, im starting to think that announcing the # of votes you got is somewhat a good thing. b/c it tells all those people in the popular group, to actually like, not be all snobby and stuff. befcause, look how much they all lost by. all because the people who lost thought they were too good to campaign to the less popular people. anyways, just a short. i dont know what you call it. thing.

and then, today. i. almost. cried. during. class. because. the. gay. thing. showed. up. again. but i didnt cry. b/c i remembered. god has a purpose for all of these things. he wouldnt let those things happen to you if it wasnt all part of his will. either in the glorification of him, or for the strengthening of my own christian life, and now my prayers are coming to pass. that i may suffer for the glorification of Him, or that his will be done in me, and to strengthen my christian walk with him. but yeah. i almost cried. and i let alex know how i felt. and it was good to hear that he said he was joking. but you know. when people start to joke too much, sometimes it becomes.. REALITY. it sometimes becomes TOO MUCH for ONE PERSON to HANDLE. and. i dont know. hasnt anyone learned anything about the museum of tolerance? that joking too much about being different. its not exactly contributing to world peace? b/c some people thing that all the joking is reality, and some people are violent. so they take this reality, and they get revenge. like that one korean guy @ vtech. im sure if people treated him better, he wouldnt have gone of that wild shooting massacre. anyways.. iono. just wanted to let you know what happened today.

btw. sorry for saying the n word in the beginning rap. it was kinda b/c. i messed up in my rap. and i needed to fill up space. and yo sounded to jerrie-ish. so, i did the black people thing. but. sorry for that. it was still my fault. i take full responsibility.

whoa, was this just a deep post or what?

HD Blog Post

look its HD. it has the whole color range. lmfao. i got lazy after a while. haha. yeah. but HDTV's are very colorful. so its very cool. so anyways, when i thought i was done with the video, i saw that there were some sound problems. lmfao. my sound was uncoordinated. so ill just edit it a bit. my next video series is called "Hi, my name is..." The ... will represent a person. im thinking to do raymond lin first, just b/c he's a lot of things. so yeah.

haha. i never told him, but im secretly trying to break dance. so i can show him, and hell get all jealous. and then hell start to become a breaker. and ill laugh at him. and then when hes a breaker, he'll be quite funny to watch. yeah. haha. i know. im weird.

anyways. french nats are easy. although i think i didnt place. but i dont really care. because we didnt learn a lot of that stuff. but if im extremely lucky, then i could possibly have placed. b/c i dont think i missed that much. yeah.

so today i have no homework! (except to read and study). but yeah. so i decided to go on blogger earlier than expected.
and. noww! uploaded to myspace. dont worry. ill embed it on my page. ill TRY to put it on youtube.

channel andrew.

haha. wtheck. a new title. how cool? haha. yeah. today was scary. brent test.. was. iono. i think i mightve gotten like a B. ): or maybe an A. but even if it were an A-, id be happy. i think i missed 3. unless if brent saves me. or saves the class. by giving 10 extra points like he did on the comp. but i still have an A in brent. so its all good. but i hate him for that. he always goes like, the test comp will be general questions ive asked you before. and then when he asks you, its like friggin specific and he never asked us those quesitons. thats what i hate.

anyways. everyone thought history was hard. i thought it was pretty easy though. although i know i missed one. darn. and french nat'l's are tomorrow. and if i place (which means im like.. top in the country), then i get extra credit. and my college transcript looks really good. yeah. but its really hard. but i studied. kinda. so i know a lot of new words. and so i can probably understand most of it. so i have high hopes for that.

working on the movie, to see if i can improve it. if not, then yeah. hoping to post it soon. aiight. im done wit my movie. but i aint gonna post it til tomorrow. dude. my cm test is @ 8:15. when i found out, i was like. -________- wasting a day of sleping in man. freak.

holy craps!

haha. craps is a card game. lol. anyways. today was. a weird early day. and im ALMOST done with my "MTV: Nerd's Crib" yeah. and i filmed a "discovery video on the life of a nerd" (the nerd is raymond). so for all yall raymond lin fans, better stay tuned. and. commemorative video is almost done. just need some brainstorming. yes. i will be using my brainpower for that post. anyways. got 100% on yesterdays geometry test! <--sign of a nerd. (:

yeah. uh. im tired. from studying. so later yall.

whoa.

mmkay. -says in the voice of that one guy from south park, lol- anyhoos, today was interesting. a got a 1/2 bday balloon. and ppl were like, "tis your bday?" and i was like, "no, 1/2" i dont know how many times people said that. and raymond lin got jealous. lmfao. hes like, how come i dont get a bday balloon or a 1/2 bday balloon? lmfao. i was like, dont worry, its cuhs im unique. lol. amyways. i got all the videos uploaded onto my computer. now i just need to make the videos. yeah. french quiz=easy. history quiz=another 11/10? geometry test=freakishly easy. was it b/c i actually studied this time? lolllz. anyways. shivanti says im too serious. i dont know. maybe i am. ah wells. haha. orchestra was interesting. veryyy interesting. haha. 2nd violin back row got in trouble. -coughcough- hahahahahhaa. anyways. yeah. soo thats all for today.

wow

today=sunday. i just finished history homework, studying for history (a little), studying for geometry (a lot) and i finished reading out of the dust. i was sooooo sad. i was like. wowzers dude. wow. anyhoos. today i went to church. and it was good. we talked about acts 15. and then in the annoucnements one of the people asked to pray for the retreat and stuff. last night i shared in my youth group for 2 Timothy 1. if you've read it and want my notes, then ill gladly give them to you. anyways. yeah. i enjoyed that meeting yesterday. and i enjoy and look forward to the retreat, even if ben might not be able to go, i guess thats his parents' fault.

anyways. so. like. im gonna start filming my videos right now okay? i might be back for a 2nd post today.

COMMEMORATIVE POST

ok. so like. yesterday. shivanti kept on telling me she defended me on her blog. except that. her post was really long. and i really appreciate that. so, instead of having one video still filming, ill be filming a commemorative video. and not just to shivanti. but to all yall friends out there, for being such good friends. but.. thatll be later. i dont know when ill be doing that, but just know thats in play.

anyways.. yesterday was a good day except for the sick-ish feeling i had. no worries, my nasal congestion is probably 100% healed, and i thank god that he did that for me. so. thank you god. and. also. today i have to lead in the sharing for my youth group @ church. btw, my youth group is strong, but powerful in god. so thats all that matters. plus, we get to know each other so much more, and we have a lot of fun together. retreat 3/21-3/23! woooot! haha. anyways, yesterday in brent: im pretty sure i got 25/25 on the quiz. sooo easy. in verrett: 11/10 on the quiz. and shivanti lost the bet. but thats okay. b/c its still on. so her confidence level should be boosted up a little. but, im still getting her a pimp pen from taiwan nevertheless.

so. thats all for now. if im done with the video early, ill post it up.

6:41

for some of you. you know what that numbah represents. it represents my fastest milee time. which i settt. today! 2/7/08! wooo! i feel accomplished. my first timed mile of 8th grade is a success. just finished playing my wii. i played everything. wii fitness, wii training, wii boxing, golf, baseball, tennis, and bowling. mmhmm. and my arms are sore. lmfao. imma make this post short, b/c im gonna be watching a cartoon about ducks with pekkie on qubo. the show is called sitting ducks. for all yall with hdtv's, the channel is 30.2, sitting ducks is on @ 8:30. anyhoooooos. today, after mile, i was feeling sick. probably b/c it was cold in the morning, i had pie for breakfast and it didnt digest well enough [how can pie digest when someones running a 6:41 mile? (: ] and after the mile the sun came out and the contrast killed me. but im much better now. had tofu for dinner and sweat a little then, sweat a little by playing wii. okay. gonna watch sitting ducks now. more tomorrow!

mann

soo ffekrsjthgru-ing frustrated. so gay. still frustrated over everything between people thinking im all gay and crap. arrghh. this is the first time in a long time i feel a need to cuss. cuhs its so fdkstjdrfgknt-ing ridiculous. and like. i wish i could just go like fkrdghfjdng yall and tell them to shut up. but. that wouldnt bring any honor to gods name. so i wont do it. not at all. but just letting you know how i feel when yall do that type of stuff. like. i almost cried when joseph was all talking about my "gay" moments that hes experienced.
yeah. anyways. i took a break off just now from blog. i saved it as a draft. and part of this break was reading my daily devotionals called "my time with god" anyways, that section really helped my current situation and god really spoke to me. i totally forgot in these hard times "count it all joy when you are persecuted" as it says in james 1. and then in romans 5, which i even memorized "and we also rejoice in our tribulations (sufferings) knowing that tribulation produces perseverence, perseverance->character, and character->hope. and hope doesnt disappoint b/c god has poured out his love into our hearts through the spirit whom he has given us" and, some messages that i have heard. people saying that persecutions and hard times and sufferings are all to bring glory to god and strengthen and help us grow in our christian life. and so. yeah. i kinda feel guilty for almost cussing. but. god will forgive everyhting because of his son jesus' sacrifice on the cross. and i asked for that forgiveness.
anyways. yeah. another thing that got me kinda mad was that. we have to run mile tomorrow. even though its friday. and flowers should reward perfect points. which i have. AND im an eighth grader. because the mile is supposed to be for physical fitness test. so flowers overlooks 2 things in this: 1. that its friday, perfect points=no running and 2. im an eighth grader. and so i shouldnt be taking the test in the first place. and i still firmly believe that making us run the mile tomorrow is child abuse and is the wrong thing to do. arrgh. guess ill bear with it.
and yeah. im still, you know. upset about the whole situation at school. and. i dont know what to say. i guess gods doing this to me to strengthen my walk with him. all i can say is, please. dont believe the rumors. and shivanti knows why. but she wont tell anyone. right?

aha

so. i forgot to put in something on my cbox. but thats okay. so i was talking about my dad. and how. when my two older sisters were teens, our family was rich. but. we lost it. during my childhood. because my mom and dad were getting a divorce. and i would not like to touch on that subject. so ill stop.
but anyways, im excited to be going to taiwan with my dad. and i decided to drop the gangsta edition of "Cribs". because. i didnt think it was worth my time or your time. so sorry if you were anticipating pekkie. youll see him soon in my nerd/geek edition of "CRIBS" or my fob edition. yeah. ill be filming that like.. this weekend.
ahaa! retreat is in 3/21-3/23. whoo! so happy for that. museum of tolerance was really. cool. not like cool cool. but interesting cool. and the bus ride was weird. because angel and them kept singing. it was annoying. and.. i got really pissed when joseph was like, "ohhh, everything you do is so suggestive" and like he told everyone. cuhs like. what? just cuhs you have a perverted mind means that your allowed to assume im a problem child? geesh. w/e.
anywayyss. im gonna update yall later.

chyesss

okay. so. i havent been on in a while. and i was too lazy to make the "cribs" video. soo, i think imma start working on it today. and you know how i said id have it out by tomorrow? im thinking ill have it out later. i dont wanna make any predictions just quite yet. but.. be patient.. ill have it up when i want to have it up.
so my cbox has become a rant center. i gues im open to that, as long as yall keep it clean aiight? so ive been noticing some growing life on my blog, ya know. more ppl visiting. thats good. like. i havent been on this in a few days, so sorry about that. anyways. something that made me really happy.
anyways, this thing. has been found out yesterday. our youth group for church (btw our church is small, so the youth group is small, but i kinda like it that way, just because you get to know each person a lot more) is going on a retreaattt to san bernadino mtns on good friday 3 day weekend. whooott! the last time ive been to those mtns was in 6th grade camp, and the last time it was a church retreat was like... 4 years ago. so im really excited. and i hear its reallly nice too. i feel that god's really blessed our youth group. i mean, its really small. and its such a blessing that even if we're really small, we're all so close together and so passionate for god, and everything we do is really fun. and i also think its such a blessing that we have people in their 40s that really give the meetings more depth. and im really grateful for the people who arranged it (amy and susanna, they're my optometrists), b/c it takes so much time to plan this stuff. anyways, i just lift it all up to god to give me this opportunity.

anyhoos, life has been good. actually. yesterday wasnt so good. until the young ppls meeting at church. b/c my mom was like, pssing off at me. and. she made me cry. so. i dont know. she always has her on and offs. most of the time shes fairly positive towards me, so im not making such a big deal over it. anyhoos, look for some more videos with pekkie, coming sooon! (if you want a dvd, its never too late to ask. its freee!) oh yeah, and yesterday, while my mom was mad, she made me do less AIM, so yeah. ill have like, a hiatus on AIM with occasional sign ons. thisll be my online haven i guess.
