St Justin's Invitation Vball Tourny

Last saturday, me and my sis led the youth from St Agnes Church, a.k.a Yosac to participate in St Justin's vball tourny.

I have never thought that I could have that much fun with them since they didn't seem they knew each other at all during practices. However, on the actual day of the tourny, they all arrived on time. They started to joke around among themselves. They played together. They worked as a team. They helped out with each other. They were the best!!! And they still are. Although they were kinda upset after we lost the last game, I assumed they had so much fun together. Like...they don't blame each other for their mistakes.

They are so cute. I can completely understand why our beloved Pope JPII love young ppl so much, because I can feel it myself. Not that I am not one of the young ppl, just a little older. They have a kind of energy carried in them. If they can gather this kind of energy together and use it appropriately, it could be a powerful tool to make a difference in the world.

Anyways.... had a reely good time... and hopefully there is more to cum.....

Niceeeee

Oh right, volunteer night.... I totally forgot about the time I talked to Bev. We have talked about the story about my crash before. At that time she totally encouraged me.Monday night, I told her about what happened and my decision. It seemed like she wasn't very happy about my decision. She told me to talk to him but there's no way it's gonna happen. (Given that the content she told me to talk about was totally inappropriate) Then she realized that this crash is not gonna go anywhere. Ending it was her decision as well.Then I said, "Isn't it nice?" It's not nice, it's sad she stressed.

No, it's nice. Because I wanted something, but God say NO. Isn't it amazing that I got a direct message from Him? The Holy Spirit come to me. It could never be clearer than that. I really appreciated with the communication part, but not the outcome of the whole thing. Well, I do care the outcome. But if that's not the result I wanted, this one can only be better than the one I desired.

Let's get a feeling of the Holy Spirit......

Reeeeeally Good friends

It's Monday night, volunteering night. It was a shock to hear that Colin's gonna leave by the end of June. Then I thought, Colin, Miguel and I are gonna be at 3 different countries by September. And when's the next time we're gonna meet again?

They are really nice people, a soon to be MD Newfy and a Spanish PhD, befriend with a chink, what a weird combination. But it worked out just fine. Colin has always been there whenever I have "stories" for him. He encourages me every single time when I feel down. He made me feel competent enough about my future career. He's the best. He's such a good listener, a good friend, a friend who shares my worries all the time. Miguel is so funny all the time. He loves the Korean restaurant I took him to. He invited me to visit Madrid. I appreciate with his hospitality. It's just so much fun to hang out with these guys.

Colin's gonna be at Newfoundland to continue with his study, possibly MD. Miguel got accepted to a research program in New York City. And I'm probably gonna move to Hong Kong. I really cherish this friendship with them. It will be nice if we could meet up for Hockey Night in Canada again!!! oh, and a slice of "Phantom" from Future.

Retreat planning....not easy

Haven't been this busy for a while. My schedule is packed!!! It came to a point that I had difficulty in finding room for myself to breath. Sometime I enjoy being busy, but not in this way though. I am exhausted.

I have never thought that planning a church retreat could be this hard. It really requires team work. In a way, I am glad I belong to part of the team. However, I didn't realize my task was actually pretty difficult. Doing research isn't one of my favourites job in my entire life. Nevertheless, I am still very willing to take on this job so I can learn a little more for myself. And I found out I have learned a lot indeed. More update on Youth Retreat later on.

Sleeping at 4am every night over the weekend wasn't FUN at all!!!
