BLOG Fast

Been fasting Blog all this week -- no reading blogs and no writing blogs.
Came to a conclusion that I've become a Blog addict in the short time that I started reading blogs.
Oyi!

So, yes.
I am not going to spend any time browsing blogs...
And I am limiting the time I spend writing in my own blog.
...just haven't decided on how much time.

STM Retreat this weekend. Yaaaai !

Update: Somebody Reads My Blog

I just realized that by thanking only Laura, I've ruled out all my other friends who take time to read my blog.

THANKS FOR READING!

Andy & Andy, I appreciate your comments. =)

Don't Let Opportunity Slip Away

Awww!
So many thoughts, so little time...

Liz had asked me today, "something, something, something.... your blog... something, something, risque' pictures... something, something, something."
Whaaa? I don't have any risque' / incriminating pictures on my blog! ...oh, that picture!

SOMEBODY READS MY BLOG!
To my surprise, my friend Laura had read my blog. And not just the recent couple entries. All the entries I have posted so far (not that I didn't think she would ever read it. I'm just surprised that someone actually took the time to read all the entries!)
Well... she came across an entry that I had posted a while back. And yes, I did post an interesting picture (hmmm... now ya'll are browsing through all my posts, trying to find what it is. I know you.)
Laura, thank you for reading my blog!
I'm so ecstatic that someone out there actually has an interest in my life, and cares to read about it. That is so cool!
Ask me some day about that post, Laura. I'll tell you.

BOWLING-O-RAMA!
Man! I haven't had this much fun since high school!
Well... maybe that's exaggerating a little. ...well, maybe a lot. I did have a whole lotta fun before, so I guess I can't claim that this was the most fun I had since high school.
But I definitely haven't felt so close and at-home with a big group of friends since high school. That's for sure.
I don't know what it is.
I did hangout quiet a bit during college, after college, and whatever. But during college I never felt so at-ease. Probably because I was so concerned with school, that I never let my guards down and really relax. And I just didn't like people I was around.
And even post-college... all those people I partied with... yeah, it was grrreat fun! but I just didn't have that "warm-fuzzy" feeling in the center of my chest when all the partying is done and I come home.
But now... I have this feeling in my chest. Familiar but foreign. It's like tomorrow I know that my friends will still be here in my life. And the day after. And the day after.
It's assurance. And I like that.









COULD I?
A good friend of mine (at least I consider her to be a good friend. A super duper friend!) told me today that she just thought of me packing up my stuff and leaving the country to live elsewhere. And that made her really sad.
Could I really mean that much to someone? I mean, come on.
Could I?

DON'T LET OPPORTUNITY SLIP AWAY
Awww!
I saw this girl tonight outside Tustin Lanes, fixin' her shoe, smokin' a cigarette.

Eric: aren't those shoes just a pain in the a$$?
Girl: no. they're not bad.
Eric: now don't they just slip off?
Girl: actually they stay on without the straps. but i need them tied when I run.
Eric: you run with those shoes on?!?!
Girl: only when I have to.
Eric: those are like three inch heels!
Girl: four
Eric: oh.
Eric: wow, that's crazy.
Eric: well... I'm gonna go ahead and go in. see ya!

Awww! W.T.F.?!?
"well... I'm gonna go ahead and go in?"
What the heck was that?!?

I didn't think she was cute when I walked up to her. She was just wearing some sexy shoes. But on a hind-thought, as I was saying, "oh. wow, that's crazy", I realized she's damn cute!
Awww!

Then I went in and bowled some gnarly game. Yeah! Take that, stupid white pins!

it looks so lonely without the girl with shoes...

I Love My Sue

She's a long time friend of mine.
She's smart, she's sexy, she has great values, and the personality!
It's all about personality!
We just understand each other. We just do.

I finally got a letter from Kaitlyn!
The letter I've been waiting for. The letter I've been dying to see!
Kaitlyn is a friend of a good friend of mine. A total stranger. I've never met her. I've never even heard of her until less than a week ago when my friend sent me an email! <-- click there to read the story.
So why am I so excited to receive her letter?

Because I'm excited at what God is doing!

Kaitlyn sent me the below letter along with a check for $100!
A total stranger! Believing in my mission! One hundred dollars!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAITLYN!

Cursed Blogs!

I came across this dude's blog somehow...
The creativity. The passion. ~sigh~

Then I stumbled upon this:

So much intended time wasted on the internet once again...
Curse You! Blogs!!!

One More Day

One more day at the office, and I'm home free for the weekend!
No work this Friday.
I absolutely positively dislike being stuck in that place.
Where's the creativity? Where're the opportunities?

I absolutely love Fridays.
Every Friday, I get an update on my Thailand Mission Team's Financial Support Status.
It's like Christmas every week!

Oyi!
I have some gnarly bills this month. What The...?
I can think of so many places and ways to spend money and yet no way to make more.
W.T.F, Mate?

It's cool! But I opted for good ol' regular spread.

I thought this sign is really interesting.

INFJ - a rarety at 2%

A famous INFJ

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging (Counselor Idealist)

I am:
* slightly expressed introvert
* moderately expressed intuitive personality
* slightly expressed feeling personality
* slightly expressed judging personality

I am an introvert... with outwardly expressions, which comes from my love of welfare of others.
I have an unusually strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others and genuinely enjoy helping my companions.
I am a private, sensitive, complicated person.
I am hard to get to know, reserved, and tend not to share my reactions except with those I trust. However with my loved ones, certainly,
I am not reluctant to express my feelings; my face lighting up with the positive emotions, but darkening like a thunderhead with the negative.

INFJ's are "system builders", but our "systems" are founded on human beings and human values, rather than information and technology.

God Is Crazy!

That's right. Crazy Awesome! that is.

Less than an hour after I wrote my last entry... I received this email from a friend:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

eric,

I have a friend of mine whom I told about your mission trip to Thailand to help the poor, and she would like to make a donation to your mission with your church.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What The...?!?!??!?
Isn't that Crazy?! or what?

God is Crazy! Crazy Awesome! that is.

Oyi! It's Already 11:44pm!

I'm just amazed how many people have given me financial contribution - in support of my mission trip to Thailand.
PRAISE GOD!

And I'm even more mesmerized by how much contribution some people have given - of course especially from those whom I expected absolutely nothing.
GOD IS AWESOME!

It's amazing how God has instilled such heart in these loving people.... and through them giving me an opportunity to see what a wonderful God we serve.

In my support letters I wrote support contribution deadline as May 12th.
That's only a week away. And I've raised only 25% of my support goal. Oyi!

God, I need help. About $2,250 help.
