| SUMMER

Current Song: Flame of Recca: Nanka Shiawase
Updating since Ken told me to and because I want to remind myself how blessing this summer has been to me so this will be a really long log.
This summer has been one of the most exciting summers I had besides last summer and the summer I went to the Philippines. First session went home a lot but it was great spending time with the family. Summer school was kinda mysterious since 75% final and 25% project so didnt know what my standpt was until the end. Highlight of session one was going to chinatown with chuck, dean, mike ding, eric tsai, and josh kim. Second session was when the the Lord kept pouring his blessing on me. I got my roommate Jie to join my small group and since I introduced my other roommate Ronald to Dianne and Aaron was in her sg I told Aaron to have Ronald join theirs since he will be more comfortable knowing the leader. Besides Jie, I recruited Mike Lee , Leo Chan, and Doug Moy. Our small group had 6 juniors but we also had a few older ppl like Kenny Kim and Eric Sohn. Summer 2 was a blessing since I was able to see my roommate Jie truly become committed to Christianity. Although he had a lot of work this summer, I couldnt stop noticing how much he was hungry for the word. He not only learned the word of GOD he applied it in his life and talked to an old friend back home about blessing passages we learned in small group. He once even suggested to go to morning prayer with me.
Besides seeing how Jie was growing, I started seeing my own faults through the bible study and some sermons. I will admit my relationship with my little brother is bad and it is all my fault  since I have been a bad older brother. I still have too much pride to approach my little brother and ask him for advice on how I can become a better brother but from the bible study I know what I need to improve on: Pride, Anger, influence of words and Wisdom. I learned from the bible study that pride can lead to destruction and it is since I am very proudful that my relationship with my brother is not good. I need to become humble so I can gain more wisdom as it saids in Proverbs 13:10 "Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice." Anger is another of my weakness because I tend to get angry easily but I dont show it. When I get angry I tend to just ignore the person and I think it leads to a broken relationship because of my pride I tend not to seek forgiveness even if I am in the wrong. I need to learn to turn my anger into love. Influence of words just show me sometimes I say too much and end up hurting people as Proverbs 10:19 states "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." I learned from small group in order to gain wisdom I need to ask GOD and that is through prayer. So I want to learn to pray more and repent so I can learn more from GOD how I can improve my relationship with GOD. The last thing I have learned this summer and hope to continue to do is depend on GOD even in difficult times. I have seen through summer league that I tend to depend more on myself than others and GOD especially in critical times. In times of ease when I just shoot around I would sing praise songs and would make a lot of 3 pointers but when the games would come I would be so off since I would think more of making it in.
The most blessing event I attended this summer was lock-in. I am always afraid of lockin since I feel I cant pray for 3 hrs and I am scared to pray in front of others but this lock-in has truly been a blessing. I prayed for my roommates, a better relationship with my brother, dependence on GOD, and much more. In fact I was always cut off in the middle and even in the end I felt like I could pray some more because I wasn't tired at all. On the lighter note there have been many fun events for me this summer. I went to California with my family except my lil bro since he had summer school and i only have summer school MWF. It was really fun got to know my cousin that came from the Philippines a lot better. I even got her to watch a korean drama called My Girl although korean dramas are popular in the Philippines and I heard from her as soon as she went back she bought the dvd set. I got to see so many relatives like my grandpa and uncles which has been a few year reunion. There were some delays like on the way to LA from LV there was a 4hr delay to travel 20 mins and both times in the air plane our plane was delays 1-2 hrs. All in all though, I loved going to California. After getting back from California, praise nite practice came. I was in 2 skits for praise nite: one was serious and one was comedy. The comedy one was pretty fun to be part of. I auditioned for the main role cuz I was forced to but since I can't strut I didnt get it (What a shame LOL). The only sad part was that they took out my only line which was pickup line " Are you from Jamaica, because Jamaicin me crazy." The class skit was blessing too since it reminded me of Passions of Christ and how much Jesus did just to clean our debt of sin.
I think that was long enough well here are some pictures to remind me of this summer.
California/Las Vegas
Fun times
Praise Nite
Beef cakes and the Mean boys one of the funniest skits I have been in.
Summer League
I scored 31 pts much more than I thought but I think I need to learn more about depending on others and being dependent on GOD 
 
Small Group:
Thanks Mike Lee for photoshop and Kenny Kim and Songeun for the abundance of pics. 
I just ask now that u guys will pray that my relationship with my bro improves, faithfulness, and that I will continue to depend on the Lord even in hard times.

| I guess I will update for the rest of the summer. I worked at
RGIS and finish takin spanish. I am finally done with spanish .
Besides that I have been chillin with friends from Maine East
especially when Jie got back from China. Although that meant I
stopped chillin with Cheuk and his Maine South crew.
Well, do I
have a lot of funny stories to say but I will just say 2 that happened
in one day. We went to old orchard and at gap my friend Darek was
tryin on a jacket that had an alarm system attached to it and guess wut
I did, I try to touch the alarm system and kinda take it out and it set
off the alarm. Because of that the alarm rang for like 15
mins.
Another story was we went to cuba road and some of us
wanted to go see the fog in the field. It was a beautiful scenery
in the field until some anonymous guy farted so we left the field and
started walkin at the side of the road. Guess wut happens a cop comes
by and he kept askin where our rides were and wut we were doin.
He said if our story didnt match with Darin when she comes back then he
would give us tickets for walkin on the road. He got tired of waitin
for her so I called on the cell and then he talked to her and after
that I asked him if our stories matched LOL and also I hung up the
phone even though the cop said Darin wanted to talk to me. Well, we
will never know if that cop was real or just a ghost becuz after he
left the fog kinda disappeared. For those of u who live in lake zurich
haveya heard of an Officer Pulaski. There is more stories in the
summer but im too lazy to writem down.
Hope to see many of u back
at chambana lookin forward to it.

| Sup, Finally updating again! Well, it has been great since I last
updated. Just went to praise night yesterday. I really
liked the sandlot skit and my part in it. I was Yeah Yeah who was
one of the baseball players. It was really fun getting to know
everyone from the other small groups and practicing this skit. I
am actually glad that I got a big role in this skit because I really
did learn a lot. Other than our skit the rest of the skits were
awesome as well. The last 2 was really emotional. I really
liked The Letter because it showed how Jesus gave up his life for us
and I liked Grace for the Worst because Saul learned from his mistake
and was forgiven. After praise night had some food and ate with
the other small groups then I went to play bball at the PSA open
gym. I have been really off on my shots lately guess I need to
play more. After ball went to Evos then slept.

| It has been a long time since I last updated. Well, it is now
break and I have been relaxing a lot. Christmas time really went
fast and it really didn't seem special at all even though went to
family party. Guess when you are older many things seem less
important or something like that. It should be a wondrous day
celebrating the birth of Jesus but I dont know why it seemed like it
wasn't Christmas. Maybe because of snow or something. Well,
I have been a little bored this break with so much free time that I
started watching a korean drama called Stairway to Heaven and a
japanese drama called Pride and I finally finish Meteor Garden.
Stairway to Heaven is awesome I got to the first 12 eps since that is
all that is out. I was anxious to find out what happened in the
end that i read the last episode synopsis and this SUX. The main
female character is going to die at the end of the series. I wish
I never read that because it makes this series seem bad now. I
don't want the main character Jung Suh to die because she had to go
through a lot and when she finally has the man she loves she dies of
cancer. Things that she had to go through was that her father
remarried and both her stepmom and stepsister Yoori treated her like
crap when she was little to the time of her death. The stepsister
liked the leading man character Cha Song-joo which was in love with
Jung Suh because they were the best of friends. Cha Song-joo was
there for Jung-Suh when her mom passed away and likewise she was there
for him when his dad died. When Jung-suh father remarried, Jung-suh
wanted to go study abroad to America with Cha Song-joo but then this
would make them inseperable so the stepmom wouldnt let it occur and
tricked Jung-suh's father into keeping her there. That is the last we
see of Cha Song-joo as a child till they become adults but before he
leaves Cha Song-joo promises Jung-suh heaven where she will never have
any worries. The rest of her childhood Jung-suh just thinks about
Cha Song-joo but her stepmom and stepsister prevented her from sending
letters to him and her stepsister stole the letters he sent to
her. That isn't all of her childhood another person also fell in
love with her. That is her stepbrother Taehwa. Taehwa was
treated like crap from her biological mom and sister Yoori. His
mom chose to focus on Yoori and so that is why she treated both
Jung-suh and Taehwa like crap. Now when they become adults and
Song-joo returns Jung-suh and Song-joo have a reunion and right when
they try to run to each other Yoori hits Jung-suh with her car.
This causes Jung-suh to lose her memory and to hide that she hits her
Yoori switches Jung-suh identity with that of a person who died in the
hospital. Taehwa learns of this and is able to obtain Jung-suh
and he decides not to tell Jung-suh about her past because if she knows
about it she wont have any feelings for him since that kind of love is
forbidden and she loves Song-joo. Song-joo and Yoori become an
item and after the 5 years Song-joo thinks he sees a person that looks
like Jung-suh and finally meets her in the merry go round which
Jung-suh used to like a lot. Jung-suh doesnt remember him but
Song-joo even though he thinks Jung-suh is dead still aims for this
woman who might not be but in reality is. Taehwa tries to keep Jung-suh
to himself but Song-joo never gave up and kept going after Jung-suh who
lost her memory even though everyone really thinks Jung-suh is
dead. Jung-suh finally regains her memory after Yoori almost hits
Jung-suh accidentally again with the car. Taehwa finally realizes
that Jung-suh will only be happy if she was with Song-joo. Taehwa
doesnt tell Jung-suh that she lost her memory due to Yoori hitting her
but makes a final request and that is for Jung-suh to forgive Yoori for
all the things she did to her. There are more things that happen
but there is a lot in this story. See Jung-suh went through a lot
and it sucks that she dies. I am still going to watch the rest of
the 7 eps that are to still come out but I might not want to watch the
last eps because I dont want to see her die. The other series
Pride is just as good. It is about a hockey player named Haru who
closes himself to all girls and decides to make love a game. He
decides to have a game type relationship with this girl named Aki who
has been waiting for 2 years for her boyfriend to return from overseas
and who she lost contact with. The rules of the game is that Haru
will keep Aki company till her boyfriend returns to her. Haru
goes through many troubles with his teammates during this time that
makes Aki fall in love with him. This is because he always tries
to do things even though everyone is against him. He always does
the right thing even though others dont know it like his friend Makato
was being traded and he was the only one who wanted him traded.
The fact is because Makato was scared of getting pushed in the ice rink
and Haru was the only one that knew it. He tells Makato to get
over his fears and Makato finally sees his weakness and that is when
Haru ends up supporting him. It took a lot of strength for Haru
to go against the team but Aki sees how much Haru cares about
everyone even if he alone in the fight. The reason why Haru
closed himself to women was because his mom left him when he was in
kindergarden. He tries to show that he is brave and strong but in
the inside he is lonely. In the end he finally realizes he loves
Aki. When he does though, her boyfriend returns to her. A
lot more stuff happens but in the end Haru and Aki stay together.
That is it for my break so far but I am really glad I saw these 2
dramas. They are really addicting. I might even like them
better than anime now. Maybe it might be because I see too much
anime but I really liked these 2 dramas so far. The only bad
thing about it is why does Jung-suh have to die.
