i havent blogged in here for a while.  it's been so crazy lately.  working, chillen, st. dom's, and planning for all the wedding stuff for ate janelle, blah, blah, blah...i just keep going and going and going...

i was really mad the other day and feeling totally stressed, but eh, i'm over it.  i'm better. 

i just wanted to blog to change the look of this page...i still dont have any sort of high speed internet access at home, so i'm blogging here at work before i head out to a class and 2 more days of no access. 

that is all.  bye!

so i'm finally back to work.  i've just come from a 4 day weekend and im wishing i had more time off!  i didnt do anything special, i just enjoyed some time for myself.  i relaxed, i went shopping, i hung out with friends, and most importantly, i didnt worry about anything.  it was great! 

this time off, however, has made me realize how much it stinks to not have iternet access at home!  i've been having some problems with our dsl these past few days and i dont know what the hell is going on!  i'm getting so irritated with it.  now the only place i can really use the internet is when i'm at work.  haahaa...kookee and i  actually ended up going to the library to use the internet!  pathetic, huh?!  funny. 

i dont really have much to say.  i played quite a bit of poker - we're all totally addicted - i won tuesday night, then on wednesday i learned my lesson.  i definitely cannot play poker that late at night!  keith had called me to go and play with him and his friends at Chris Delosa's house and man did i get tired!  i totally stank it up i was so tired.  i ended up leaving early with Simon and Lei eventhough i had originally gone with bobby!  bobby's crazy though - he ended up staying until 6am!!! 

hmmmm...what else did i do?  umm...we went to see a taping of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilburn.  That was interesting.  The guest that night was actually Morrissey.  That was definitely interesting.  I'm just so mad at myself that I forgot to tape the show!!  terrible.  I think i was on it too!  haahaa...oh well.  we ended up having a good time.  oh!  i know what else i did - i went SHOPPING!!!  i finally got myself a bathing suit for hawaii!  i'm so excited!  plus i found the cutest shoes!  they're white with rainbow straps!  they're so great!  they're perfect for the wedding!  aside from that - i saw the bourne supremacy with Kookee n Moncho...that was fun too...ummm...that's it i think...

anyways...yeah...that was my mini-vacation...it was relaxing and fun...that is all...

until next time guys!

woohoo!  for the first time ever - i have won the big pot in poker!  can you belive it?!  i was quite proud of myself last night.  this is the first time i've ever gone that far and won!  i totally would've been happy coming in third place and just making my money back, but i won!!  wow.  i was really surprised.  it's weird though.  i've been talking to keith about this whole poker thing a lot lately, and he's been trying to get me to go and play with him and his friends, but i've always been so scared to do it.  i guess i just need to be more confident in my game.  i dont suck as bad as i thought! 

that's it.  i just wanted to share that happiness!  back to work...byebyebye!

so...it's been a little while since i've last blogged...well, at first i was just too lazy to blog whenever i was at home.  well, it was more like i just didnt feel like going online when i got home after a long day being at the computer at work.  but now i cant go online at home even if i wanted to!  im currently in the process of moving my dsl line so they had to disconnect it.  booooo...
haahaa...well, not so bad for me cuz i get to use the computer here at work, but it totally sux for the three of them sitting at home staring at each other cuz none of them can log on!  haahaa...eh.  oh well.  this time will be good for them - they'll actually have to d something more constructive with their time!
 
anyways...quite a few things have happened since i last blogged.  the summer is just so totally hectic for me!  i've just been going non-stop for weeks now...it's like i dont even get any rest.  here's the re-cap: 
  
first of all, i've pretty much decided to go ahead with the whole young adult ministry thing.  i spoke to fr. raymond about it in passing last wed (while i had it all still fresh in my mind) and he really seemed behind it.  i'm now moving on to figuring out a game plan for it all.  once i have that all done i'm going to schedule a formal meeting with fr. raymond to get the approval i need, and to actually put it all into action.  this past sunday, monica, angelo, bobby, and i actually went to our very first Young Adult Event - and it was very cool.  we went to this thing called "Theology on Tap" that was sponsored by the San Fernando Ministry for Young Adults.  The topic last Sunday was: "Was there a Mrs. Jesus? Cracking the Da Vinci Code and Other Conspiracy Theories".  Although they didnt really answer all the questions I (or others there) may have had, the speaker, Bill Shaules was informative, nonetheless.  It felt so good to go to an event that was geared towards me (or people closer to my age) where I didnt have to work so hard to feel some sort of fulfillment.  Anyways.  the point is that I had a good time, and i'm sure Monica, Angelo, and Bobby did too - we're all planning on going to the next 3!
 
dang - sunday was a super long day.  besides TOT, we had our first pancake breakfast to support our WYD Fund.  eh.  i was up at the crack of dawn to get stuff ready for the event, and we did alright...nothing big.  i personally dont think the amount of money we made was worth all the trouble we went through, but who am i to say?  money's money.  oh well.  we ended up finishing up at st. dom's around 1 and i had just enough time to run home and rest a little bit before teen came over - btw -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEEN!!! 

anyways, when she got to the house, we headed off to ate lissa's house for Ty's birthday party.  he is just sooooo cute!  the first thing he did when we got there was make a mad dash for presents!!!  and he said, "i'm gonna open my present now" as we were walking through the gates!!!  he is just the cutest little boy!!!  and this was all before i even headed out to my MYA event!  and that was just sunday!!!
 
well, if you can read how crazy sunday was, multiply that by 7 and you've pretty much got my week.  i'm trying to manage so many things at the same time right now that even i amaze myself!  my weeks consiste of waking up, going to work, going to the gym or tita rubi's to hang out, going to st. dom's for some sort of meeting (youth ministry, confirmation, young adult, parish council - and the list goes on and on...), then go home, sleep, and repeat.  i'm just struggling to find some time to fit my other friends in!  i cant imagine what's gonna happen when i start school again!  oh well...i'll make it, i'll figure it all out - besides, i think i really thrive being busy...
 
anyways. was that blog long enough for all fo you?!  it's been some time and i'll be back again eventually!!!  until next time all...take care!

so i'm really praying about something lately. last night i went to the young adult ministry meeting for the san fernando region and it was definitely and eye opening experience. these past few months i've been finding myself more and more busy at st. dominics - from confirmation planning, to youth ministry work, to the parish council, yet none of those things really directly affected me. none of those groups directly minister to me, or to those like me. the people that feel too old to be a part of the youth ministry yet also feel too young be part of any of the other groups at our parish.

in the past few months, fr. raymond (the pastor at our church) has approached me a couple of times regarding starting a young adult ministry in our parish. at first is wasnt something we really wanted to persue that closely since the plan for our area was to do a combined ministry throughout our different parishes, but how can we actually feed that larger ministry without establishing our own? can we actually start our own? can i actually start our own? i've got so many things going on lately that i dont know what i'm doing. i feel like i'm being pulled in so many directions lately that i just dont know where i should be focusing my time on. one thing know for sure is that i need get my shit straight. i've given myself a goal. im out to finish school within the next two years and im determined to do it, but can i really? with that goal, can i keep up with all these other extra curriculars that i already take part in? plus keep up with all my "friends"? can i seriously see myself taking on and added responsibility of starting another ministry? is that something i want to commit to?

in all honesty, i feel i'm being called to do it - we need one at st. dom's, but is it really the right time? and if i dont do it, who will?

eh...anyways, i ended up going to see the Notebook last night with the girls. it was alright. i was actually expecting a lot more. bleh. the book was soooooo much better. but then again, maybe it's like the Dan Brown books - you'll like whichever you read (in this case, saw) first. weird, huh? anyways. that's it.

my week's been pretty boring. tita rubi's all week, dinner with connie last night at buko - saw Kris there! haahaaa...buko's just the happening place!

yeah...that's it...i dont have anything else to say, so bye.
