it's Christmas time, once again...

here are my ramblings...

so every year December rolls around, I feel like everyone tries to get into the Christmas mood and whatnot. This year, the thing most people did to get into the Christmas mood was to go watch Love Actually. I admit I actually like this chick-flick a lot. Not only because of all the sappy stories and the old guy singing the whacky song, but because this movie had a good ending.

good endings are usually hard to come by nowadays. I find myself always looking forward...I think to myself, maybe next year will be different, maybe next year ill be taller, I can run faster, jump higher, achieve my ninja turtle arm status, and maybe get a six pack to go along with it. i also look foward to things past college like, will i be able to get a stable job? what exactly does God want me doing with my life? How will i serve Him? and of course, will i get married? all these things i have thought about and ive come to one conclusion...

i am ungrateful.

why? because of all the things i have been blessed with, and i still want more and more, yet i know these things will never satisfy. i realize that i have been wanting more and more because i look to the future to bring me something good, something wonderful, something that i can enjoy that i do not have right now.

i have been blessed with friends who care about me. the real me. my mask has returned and i must remove it, before it becomes permanent once again. i have been blessed with a family that only wants what is the ultimate best for me. i have been blessed. i am blessed.

since it is Christmas time, i realized that a flood of surveys on people's blogs/xangas have started to come up... theres this one question that caught my eye. "What do you want most out of life?" (or something to that effect) and the answer that many people gave were along the lines of..."i want to be happy" and usually when i read surveys and stuff, i try to think of the answers that i would give because i refuse to take these surveys because i think its a waste of my time and a waste of the time for people who actually read blogs/xangas. anyways, i felt like my answer would be "to be happy" as well...

but i read tiff's xanga, she wrote that she wants to surrender everything to Him. now that just turns the light on a whole new perspective. this brings the spotlight from ourselves, onto Christ. isn't that the way our lives should be anyways? isn't it how we are supposed to live as followers of Christ? why then are we so uncontent with our lives that we should want to be happy? isn't the joy of the Lord our strength? WHY ARENT WE HAPPY?

i talked to nick liao after COP last friday night after CBS was over, and i told him that i was really impressed with his guitarring abilities and i remember exactly what he said to me, "hey thanks alot, but were you able to worship?" i remember all my years leading worship in highschool, and i never asked that question...makes me wonder was my worship even God-focused?

we aren't happy because we focus on all the wrong things in life. thats why everyone wants a girlfriend or a boyfriend. thats why we want to be happy, but we aren't. instead of looking at all the things we don't have, let's look at the things we DO have. our friends, family, our ninja turtle action figures. let's focus on Christ, His everlasting love for us, and He wants nothing more than our devoted attention from us. He's calling to us and we must not ignore Him, His beauty surrounds us and we must not deny it, His grace is sufficient for us and we must not reject it, His love is infinite, we will embrace it. because if we deny, reject ignore and do not embrace Christ, we will never be happy, and everything will be gone.

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone

She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
and upside down

Don't say so long, you're not that far gone.
Don't spin today away, "cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone
Just trying to prove me wrong and pretend like your immortal

She said, he said, live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge. Infinity.
Where's your treasure, where's your hope,
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal.

Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong.
This could be your big chance to makeup
Today will soon be

Gone, like yeterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going,
Gone, like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like your immortal.

We are not infinite
We are not permanate
Nothing is immediate
And we pretend like we're immortal.
We're so confident in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence.

Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like AL Pichino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my highschool dreams are gone,
my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.

Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age
but do we know what life is outside of our conveinent Lexus cages

She said he said live like no tomorrow
every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to a God who's never been short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.
Life is still worth living, life is more than what we are.

be happy. =) even though its finals week. Everyday is God's day...not yours.

Cover Me
- Bebo Norman

Cover me, cover up my tears
Cover up this man who's covered up in fear
I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you
TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me, then you hold me

Cover up my heart, cover up my soul
Cover up this world and everything I know
You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea
Cover up the mountains and every part of me
Everything single breath I breathe...cover me

I am still alive and covered up in years
Covered up in lines as innocence appears
So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you
To cover all that's old with everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
And you unfold me, then you hold me
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me then you hold me
I want to shed this skin
You unveil me with your mercy
You unfold me, then you hold me
You unbreak me, would you take me home

why do i have a blog and a xanga?

here is the reason why i have both.

i got a blog first, and i got it to look really axesome! (dont you agree?) anyways everyone else started to get xangas cuz its easier to make it look cool (noobs) cuz most people dont know the special version of html that blog has. anyways there are some things on xanga that i like better than blog. for example, i like how you can get their posts in an email so you dont have to go visit everyones xangas like you do blogs. but i like how blogger allows you to be unique. no two people are not on fire. i mean no to blogs are exactly alike, unless youre too lazy to change the background. xanga can be unique as well, but the format is the same, like info in a column and post in the main area. with blogger, you can change it up however you want. the cool thing about xanga tho is that its really fast to post because of Xtools and its really easy to post pictures.

anyways...ive rambled for long enough, i have to finish my philosphy paper that is due tomorrow. bye.

what a long day....

this morning i got up at 9:00am to go play tackle football in the 40 degree weather. amazing. i froze my butt. anyways it took me half an hour to get mok and peter out of bed....so...yea

during the game i played def and off linemen. during one of the plays i was trying to push the guy who was rushing at me away. right when my elbow locked from the push, his chest hit my hand and i felt my shoulder pop out of the socket for a second and pop back in. i was really scared at first because i thought i had dislocated my shoulder. i slowly tried to move my arm and decided that it had only popped out for a second and that it was in the socket again, so i sat out for the next couple of series. later i found out that two other guys had the same thing happened to them as well. we're going to form a "i almost dislocated my shoulder club"

anyways it was upperclassmen vs lowerclassmen and we lost 2-0 because they got a safety. so...we lose, but we didnt get killed so that was cool. so now my shoulder is sore...

then we went to an all girls tackle football game called Gloryfist. it was to raise money for charity, and let me tell you...those girls are freaking crazy. one girl in particular, GRACE TOW <---freaking MVP. O-M-G if you didnt go, you missed out. grace tow is such a BALLER. mad mad props to all the girls tho, they all played hard and even though it was a blowout (21-0) it seemed like everyone had alot of fun. watching girls bleed but not whining and crying about it is really cool. heh jk

after gloryfist i got to stand ther for a good 15 minutes watching chris huang and andy yu spar jujitsu...it looks really gay...i dont think i can ever do that...but it looked really fun at the same time...*shrugs*

so now ive been sitting in front of my computer for....7 hours already...and iave written 3000 words out of 4000. i guess ill continue writing tonight until i die of boredem...then finish tomorrow...i also have a philosphy paper that is due on tuesday at 5 o clock pm that i have no idea what im writing about yet. it is supposed to be 3-4 pages long. my last exam is japanese which is on friday from 9am-12pm. 3 hours for an exam. yay....

hmmm...lets see...
my shoulder is sore...oh i also got kneed in the left thigh...so that kinda hurts a bit...i have several jammed fingers...the cut on my lip just never seems to heal and i still smell like grass and dirt from this morning. what do i have to say about it?

God is good. All the time.
