Part of the sermon yesterday kind of hit me hard in the heart. If I've been pretty selfish lately, I'm very sorry for that. This scriptures did remind me a lot of what I should've been as a Christian. I know it might sound a little harsh, but.. here goes:
"When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God." (Galatians 6:19-21, NLT)
But, as children of God, we all should have these characters that I will list soon instead. These are the famous nine fruits of the spirit. I've known them since I was still in grade school, and I can't believe that I still have to be reminded about it.
"But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law." (Galatians 6:22-23, NLT)
Moreover,
"Those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another." (Galatians 6:24-26, NLT)
Well, I hope this may bless others as it has blessed me abundantly.
Enough with the scriptures, now I want to tell you about my weekend. =p Well, nothing exciting actually. I spent the weekend to do a special project for my grandma's 80th birthday. She's the only grandparent I have left. All the kids, grandkids, great grandkids in Indo are preparing for her 80th birthday party. What is awesome is that, she does not know that it'll be a huge party. She thought it'd be like the usual, just family members celebrating at a fancy restaurant. But for this year, we have rented a ballroom in a hotel and have invited kazillion guests (ok, maybe i'm exaggerating about the guests, but they invited A LOT =p). It'll be so huge that everyone will be wearing uniforms. I know that the sons will be wearing suits with pink shirts underneath, because that's what my dad will be wearing. The daughters will be wearing dresses in the same colour too (I think they actually pre-ordered the dresses). The grandsons will be wearing suits with another colour of shirt, and the granddaughters will be wearing dresses of the same colour. Also the great grandchildren. It's like a wedding party, but it'll be even greater.
It's a shame that my mom, my brothers and I cannot attend this event. Only my dad will attend. Well, my brothers and I have exams in 2 weeks or so, and we tried to convince my grandma to delay the party until the end of April, but she refused because she had invited all her friends. =( But it's okay.. I'm still a little upset, but I'll get over it soon.
Anyway, on Friday I printed out over 200 pictures from my computer and I put them all in a really sweet-looking photo album. =) I gave comments to a lot of the pictures too!! =p I hope that my grandma will like it a lot because she hasn't seen us in a while. Well, I just went back two years ago. But my youngest brother hasn't gone back to Indo for almost 9 years now, and my older brother for 6 or 7 years. It's crazy, I know.
We also videotaped everyone saying happy birthday and things like that so that she can watch us! =) Well I was actually kind of embarrassed about the videotaping thing, because they will show the video at the party with hundreds of guests watching. o.O" But it's okay, I probably won't know anybody there except my family.
So, my dad went back to Indo last night after dropping off me and my brother at our rez in Waterloo. Even though he wasn't done packing, but he insisted on dropping us off. Aww.. make me miss him even more.
My brother also went to Buffalo on the weekend. And guess what? He bought me a Burberry scarf with matching gloves!!!! =) So nice! ^-^
Alright.. this is it for now, I've got much work to do!
L8er!

Update
It's been a while since I last blogged. The last two entries aren't considered as blog entries, I guess. =p But, I was really busy, so I thought I'd post something.
Well, I'm still really busy because this semester is ending in 1.5 weeks! It's crazy that all assignments must be turned in, etc. I finally finished ALL my midterms last week.
Today is my friend's birthday. My roommate and I threw a surprise party for her last night at our apartment. We started at 10 pm, ended at 3:30 pm. I was VERY tired, considering there were a lot of dishes to do. But my roommate volunteered to do the pile-up dishes because I had a class this morning at 8:30 am.
So, for the party, we made a lot of food. For our late dinner we cooked noodles (i-fumie) and soup ala my dad's style. =p For snacks we had konyaku (Japanese jell-o that I don't know how to spell, hehe) and rice crispies. And for cakes, another person made cupcakes that were decorated. They were very nice! =)
I actually planned to bake her a cake. I've bought everything I needed for the cake and to decorate the cake, but unfortunately I left my electric at home! =( I know we had one in this apartment, but I think my friend (the birthday girl) took it a few weeks ago. We live in the same building, just different suite. And I thought of asking her for it, but then she would've figured out I was baking her something since her birthday was coming up in 2 days. So I didn't bake her a cake. =( I'm going to try next week to bake her a cake, even though it will be late, but I'm extremely busy next week.
So today after school, I slept for another 4 hours trying to catch up for last night. =p Then, I'm going to my dance class at 7 - 9 pm. Then after that, we're going to Symposium!!! =p It's a cafe, just like demetre, but I think Symposium is more exclusive and more elegant. The price is also more expensive than Caffe Demetre, and they have much more cake selections. We're going because the birthday girl (Monica) invited us there to celebrate her birthday. I even know what to get already!! LOL! I'm so excited. I'm going to get the NY-style cheesecake. I know it's plain, but since I'm learning to make cheesecake, I want to compare it to the one I make at home.
Okay, this entry actually does sound a little plain. I'm sorry people, but I just woke up. =p Well, I'm going to go shower now. I'll see if I can update more tonight or tomorrow!
Later dayz!

Snow Day #3
School is closed today for the 3rd time this semester! =) I guess we'll have a whole bunch of make up classes at the end of this term, but I'm quite satisfied. I'm supposed to be writing my Thermodynamics midterm today, but to be honest, I'm not ready. Thermodynamics is the most boring calculus-based physical chemistry course ever! And calculus is pretty much my worst math subject! =p
So, I was at the library yesterday right after my morning lecture. One hour later, it started snowing REALLY bad, more like a blizzard. The temperature dropped quite a lot I think that I had to add on an extra layer of sweater at the library. Good thing I brought an extra sweater, because in the morning it was only +1 degrees. Then, after 3 hours of studying at the library, a security announced that school is closing at 2:30 pm due to the winter storm. It turns out that it was freezing raining out there. Goodness, I had to walk all the way from the library home. Mind you that the library is located at the farthest corner of the campus from where I live =p. I had to walk home with no scarfs, no winter hat, thin snowboarding jacket, sweat pants with tights =), a long sleeve shirt and a sweater. It was so funny because before I left my house in the morning, I purposely left my winter hat at home because I thought I wouldn't need it. T____T The walk home was also pretty fierce with all those ice hitting my face, wasn't quite pleasant I'd say. The ice melted as it hit my face, so my face was soaking wet and it was VERY cold. Then, when I got home, I found that there was ICE on my scalp! LOL! I got a headache afterwards =p.
Then, I guess the half-day snow day kind of killed my study mood, so I slacked off for an hour, then I took a nap because of the headache. By the time I woke up it was already 5 pm, and I forgot I haven't prepared dinner for my brother. Then, after all was done I started studying again, but it was already 8 pm and I wasn't feeling very good! =( So I told myself let's just concentrate until midnight, then I'll decide if I should pull an all-nighter, sleep for a few hours, or whatever. When my alarm went off at midnight, I was already very tired and couldn't study. So I decided to sleep until 6 am. Butttt =p I knew last night that I wasn't going to be ready for my exam, so I secretly prayed to God to give me a chance to study more. Be it a snow day, be it anything.. =) So I woke up this morning, but there was no announcemetn yet, so I continued to study. Then at 7 am, both campuses are closed!! Hooraaayy!! =p
But let's not spoil this chance, I'm still going to study for the rest of today, but of course with less stress. =) Thannk you God! *wink*
Happy 3rd snow day everyone!
