It's Not About Us

Today I had intercessory prayer at church. I am the only one under 25 that regularly attends it. Sad, I know but true. I was drawn to it over a year ago; I wanted to be the one to intercede on behalf of my family, love ones, friends, the lost, etc. I have been attending it for a while and haven't been called upon to lead a prayer until today. I was asked to lead a prayer on behalf of the youth ( I started sweating bullets, I am still conquering the in front of a crowd thing, lol). I am one of the "youth leaders" because for some reason the youth come to me with the things they won't go to anyone else about. I think its because I am honest about everything with them and I won't judge them. So when I led the prayer I asked God to teach us and show us how to love them ALL and show us how to reach them. Not just the ones who listen and attend Sunday School and Youth Service faithfully, but those who live in an unsaved household, those who come in our doors with tattoos, wild color hair, piercings, those who are hurt and only know how to use anger to deal with their pain. I joined the youth ministry over a year ago as the one of the new youth secretary. It started out as an administrative role but slowly became more. The girls began to see me about questions and problems and the boys would come to me to get a big sister point of view. One of the elderly women told me that God is calling me to work with them because I have been where they have been and I want to help them and bring them to where they need to be. I never looked at it like that before. I always looked at it from the angle of why should they be lost if all they need is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, or even someone to take them shopping? Why can't I be the one to do it? One of my older girlfriends told me that ministry takes on all forms but the definition is the same: ministry is serving others. I hope that I can serve others everyday. Even if it's just when I give my seat on the train/bus for an elderly person or cover my co-workers lunch because they're short on funds, etc. That being said, ask yourself "Am I trying to serve others daily?".

Whitby Film Fest

So, i know i haven't been updating much on the blog, but that's only natural all thanks to my procrastination skills. Any ways, since my first post had glimpse of what i received for entering my film "Intervention: Lily", I've decided to continue updating on that and add What happened afterwards. I entered the the video into the Whitby Film Fest too. I also made a new one with my friends called "The Ultimate Makeover".

See the Videos for yourself! :P

The high school student --- addicted to her computer.
Lily has agreed to be in a documentary about addiction.

An A+ high school student
And obedient daughter
A caring sister

She does not know she will soon face an intervention.
Millions of people struggle with addiction.
Most need help to stop.
This is Lilys story.



Marge is a lonely mid aged women from Saskatchewan who moved to Toronto in search of love. She was discovered walking on the streets of Toronto by the hosts of The Ultimate Make Over. Due to her poor appearance, Hollie and Melanie invited her to become part of their show and give her a complete make over.



The Whitby Film Fest:


all of the 20 films shown were excellent.
some that stood out to me was "City of Colour", a stop motion picture film. it had a wonderful storyline and cool special effects. Sadly, i cannot find it on youtube.

Another film that stood out for me was by my friend Taikun. It's a short Flash film called "Blue". When ever i watch it, i feel all happy inside, as if i have no worries, no troubles, no problems.

finally, this film was very professionally done. i do believe Van will be a great director/producer/editor. "The Tale Of Roger Kent" was very interesting to watch. i can't imagine how one would feel with a duck tape beard!

Where Do I Fit In?

I constantly ask myself that. I mean constantly; everyday when I arrive at work. I look at my situation (the fact thay I am working is a blessing) but I want to have a career not a job. So those questions always come up: "Where do I fit in? Where is it that God wants me to be? How will I know for sure?" I love design, not just design; I love creating dresses. The flow of the garment, the way it lands, hangs, sways, etc. I know in due time it will work out and I will know where I am supposed to be. I always draw reference to my key Bible verse from last year: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." I picked the NIV version because it says it so plainly. God has plans for you and these plans aren't horrible ones. These are plans to give you hope, to make you prosper, to give you a future. This verse also works well with the situation we as a nation are facing now. With the stocks dropping, layoffs about to hit a million, a global economic recession; we can stand firm on the word of the Lord. Through everything, He will keep us, He won't harm us. We won't suffer or beg for food because the Lord of the heavens is our heavenly Father. He controls EVERYTHING; it doesn't get any better than that.

Goodbye and Good Riddance!

There comes a point in your life when you have to let something go to gain something. Will you let it go willingly or will you hold on to it until its too much to bear and you lose it anyway. I remember when the Lord called me out of my relationship. It was the hardest thing I had to do. I was craving more of the Lord and he wanted me to walk away from a 3 year relationship that wasn't uplifting God at all. At first, I was putting up a fight but than I realized God was more important and there was something better He had for me. So I walked away and the Lord brought to another level in Him that completely blew my mind and made it worth it all. So I ask you a question: Is there something that you are holding on to that is the same thing God wants you to let go of? Will you do it or let it be your god? Pray about it.

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Relation

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner would make a good couple, What Do you think ?

I know Kristen is older than Taylor but i think both of them look kinda cute together.
Heres a pic of them. Its not the best, but its all i could find on a short notice.

Sharing is Caring

Blessings to everyone on this day! I am trying to encourage myself in the Lord today (I'm not in a spiritual battle; I just have a really bad toothache/earache/headache that I'm trying not to think about).
I have found blogging to freeing and relaxing. It feels good to share my random experiences, thoughts, etc. I just won't share any of my friends and families names for fear of being attacked by them (lol).
The Lord has been revealing His awesomeness to me day by day and I am in constant amazement by Him. The songs I love a lot lately are "Amazed" by Lincoln Brewster and "All I Need Is You" by Hillsong United. It could be that I am in a constant worship mood lately because its time to rehearse praise dances to Minister on Easter and our upcoming Youth Convention; I love those songs none the less.
But I digress. I have been slowly finding blogs by other saints in Christ that both entertain and speak to my spirit. It seems that these days people either don't talk about Christ or force feed Him to you. I think the best way to reach others and introduce them to Christ is by living Him. You have to live in Christ EVERYDAY so that others can see Him in you. I could stand on a soapbox on the corner of a street and preach until I pass out or I could live the life everyday and minister to others that way. I am a freshman in Bible School and the first year is Evangelism. It's a powerful class; everyday feels like you live what you have learned in classroom. That being said, I realize how important it is to share the Gospel. It's like everyone in the world is dying. Someone gives you the vaccine and saves you from death. You have the vaccine now, will you give it to others or will you keep it to yourself? Think about it.

Girl's Night In!!!

Finally!!! My best friends and I had a girls night. We went to the mall to shop (of course) and went to my girlfriends house later to eat and watch tv and movies. Sadly Jane Austen wasn't an option in the movie pile. What a cruel world I live in! I'm having a major Starbucks White Mocha craving. The last time I had one was last year after my ballet class. I want some sooo bad. Maybe if I do a late night commute to the Starbucks in the city I can get 2 so I won't have to worry about one in the morning. Are they open this late? I think they should have a 24 hour Starbucks! I should patent that idea, I would be so rich! You know what? I should call it an early night, the lack of caffeine is making me delusional.

Hockey players are so charming, aren't they?

A few weeks ago I headed out to celebrate my friend Kim's birthday. We started with dinner at Chilli House downtown. I had prawns in a curry sauce over rice... YUMMERS! It was also only $13 and had a dozen prawns in it. Not like when you get a seafood pasta at most restaurants and pay $15 to get 5 teeny pieces of fish.

After that (and after hitting up the drugstore to soothe my heartburn... damn being a white person!) we headed to the Roxy. My friend had a reso for 20 people, but apparently over 40 of us showed up and we waited in line for an hour. Patience may be a virtue, but it's one I'm lacking. It sucked.

While we were waiting in line though, I happened to see someone I recognized. It was the NHL player that asked to "bang me" back in the day. Remember? What a coincidence! (Well not that much of a coincidence considering that team hits up the Roxy every time they're in town... but the fact that I was there that same night.)

Once inside, after a drink and a pee, I decided to go say hi. I mentioned that I'd met him before with my friend... and he was like "Oh who?" so I told him... to which he calmly replied "She's a whore!" and walked away. WOW.

At this point I was distracted: I had seen one of the Canucks walk through the door. The only reason I knew who he was is because Nicole had told me he was hot and made me look him up on the internet. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went and talked to him too. I should mention he was pretty shitfaced at this point. I walked by him and was like "Hey, you're ___!" and he's like "Yeah." We introduce ourselves. I tell him that my sister really likes him and he asked "What about you?" so I told him I'm undecided. I wanted to compliment him on the fact that the Canucks had totally kicked the other team's ass that night... so I said "You guys did really well tonight eh?" ... "Yep," he said, "I didn't play... But I still got paid!" Great. I had just congratulated a healthy scratch. Suddenly a guy and his girlfriend walked by and accidently bumped into the Canuck... so the boys started tussling! They weren't quite fighting, but they had their arms around each other's necks. I walked away.

The entire night the big group of hockey players were in one area... and every time I walked by to get a drink one of the kept checking me out and we kept making eye contact. Finally he smiled, nodded his head and motioned me over. He's not hot... but pretty cute and we started talking. I ended up chatting with him for about an hour. Then he asked me to go back to his hotel with him. "For what?" I asked, to which he replied, "Sex, make out, you know." At least he's honest! I told him I didn't think so. "Why not? I don't have any diseases" he stated. (Ummm sure. Do you have the doctor's printout with you?) I told him I couldn't because I had my period, which I thought would deter him. I was wrong.

We kept talking and a bit later he asked me to come to the hotel again. He randomly blurted out "I'll eat you out!" Ummmmmm... I was kinda speechless. "Do you remember what I already told you?" I asked and he said yes. "And you don't care?" I ask. "No." I'm pretty sure at this point I made a disgusted face, because he paused for a moment and then said "I'm just kidding!" He wasn't.

I told him that maybe my friends could come to the hotel with me and we could all hang out, but that we were leaving, so he took my number. He told me he's in Vancouver a fair bit in the summer and he'd call me. I'm not holding my breath.

I then had to wait in a 30-minute-long lineup to get my coat. When I finally left I thought I'd say goodbye... but he had already moved onto some whore that had kept trying to grind on him as we talked. As opposed to me, the girl with morals, she was a sure thing. Well, at least I was his first choice. Hope he doesn't get herpes!

In other news...

This morning I walked to the mailbox to send away my subscription to Cosmopolitan and also get the mail that I've let sit there for a few days.

Because of how it's been raining the last couple days after a month-long dry spell there were dead worms all over the sidewalk. It was pretty gross and took me forever to get to the mailbox because I had to avoid stepping on them

One of them was in the shape of a perfect R. It was weird.

The above picture is weird too. I was looking for pictures of R-shaped worms on the internet and I came across this. It seemed fitting enough.

Quote of the Day

This is my simple religion.

There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosopy.

Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosopy is kindness.

I Think I'm Infected.................

I figured that I could fight this disease for a while: Coupleness. Sad thing is I am so serious! My best friends and cousin are trying to infect me. To make matters worst the guy that has a crush on me (and I on him) is finally saying more than two words at a time to me; he's infected too. This used to make the avoiding a relationship easy because he was too afraid to hold a conversation and when he did, he stuttered. Now he wants to talk.... a lot (talk about overnight boldness). I have been so comfortable with being single because I finally had time to hang out with my girlfriends (something I never did) and focus on ministry more. I actually got to a place where I just wanted me and God and I loved it, no guy need apply (lol). Then here he comes: Mr. Man after my own heart, fashion loving and trend following, God-fearing, italian/slim suit wearing, Starbucks drinking guy and throws a monkey wrench in my plans. Oh the humanity! I saw him Saturday and you know what he talks about? My favorite store: Zara! To make matters worst all my friends and cousins are in on it (remember I mentioned EVERYONE is in a relationship now)! They're trying to set us up. But I will fight to the death! I will wear my singleness like a proud badge of honor (lol)! I know I am overreacting but I remember all that's involved: the akward glances, conversation starters, meeting the parents, your friends trying to decode average conversations, etc, etc, etc. ( I love the King & I, lol). I can fight it but for how long? And also isn't the saying is that it comes when you least expect it? Darn it; if that's the case then I think I'm in trouble.

The Oscars

Best part of the night: The Pineapple Express spoof. Those dudes are FUNNY.

Next best part: Near the beginning of the night a Japanese guy accepted some award (ok it was Kunio Kato for Best Animated Short) and was making an acceptance speech that was barely discernable... until he said "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto." Awesome!

Best dress: I can't believe I'm gonna say this... but Miley Cyrus. Loved it!

Next best dress: Heidi Klum. I can't believe some German deisgner said she was too fat to work a runway. Hello... Gorgeous! If she's chunky then I'm a whale.

Worst hair: Penelope Cruz. Enough with the thick bangs! You're a makeup model... show off your face honey!

Biggest Biotch: Amanda whatever her name is from Mamma Mia. She was giving major attitude to Ryan Seacrest during the pre-show for some unapparent reason. Also, her dress was nast... as was her jewellery.

Miss Match- Erynn Mangum

So I am re-reading one of my favorite Christian Chick-Lit books: Miss Match by Erynn Mangum. The main character Lauren Holbrook is absolutely hilarious! Miss Match is the first book in the Lauren Holbrook series. What I love about Lauren's character is she's your normal coffee loving (sounds familiar) God fearing, Jane Austen quoting nut! Lauren has discovered her God-ordained calling: match making! and she's in serious overdrive. Lauren's content with singleness but for how long can she convince her friends she's the match maker, not them. Erynn's a genius! I won't give away any more of the plot but I can say that I am sooo looking forward to the new Maya Davis series coming out next year. The first book is called Cool Beans. The complete Lauren Holbrook series is as follows: Miss Match, Rematch, and Match Point. There's mention of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and Emma. The perfect combination: God, Jane Austen and light hearted comedy. What more can a girl want?

The Printed Blog ... Pick Me Pick Me!

The Printed Blog is exactly what it sounds like. A blog (well multiple blogs) that's printed (go figure!) in newspaper form. It's available both online and in select cities. (Sorry, not you Vancouver. Go back to sipping your latte while enjoying the view.)

While already available in Chicago and San Francisco they are planning on publishing in New York soon. But, more interestingly, they are also planning a special global issue.

From a Facebook message I recieved: 2 pages will be in Spanish; 2 pages will be in French; 2 pages will be in Hebrew; 2 pages will be in Chinese; and 2 pages will be in English. [They] are going to distribute the paper in Beijing, Tel Aviv, Paris, Madrid, London, Mexico City, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

(Hmmm still no Vancouver.)

Now, the important part. They are looking for people's blogs to use. Hmmm now let me think... who has a super-awesome blog? Oh yes... ME. For being in the paper I'd get a portion of revenue from the ads near my part... but more importantly I'd have my writing in print. Meaning: I would be one step close to officially being Carrie Bradshaw!

So basically, this is my version of kissing ass. Pick me blog Gods... Pick me!

Saturdays & Jane Austen

I had a wonderful morning. I watched Persuasion (the Sally Hawkins & Rupert Penry Jones version) and Pride & Prejudice (the Keira Knightley & Matthew MacFadyen version) as a marathon. One after the other. One word: AMAZING! I am a total Jane Austen groupie. I had choir rehearsal this evening; we learned a new song which I can't remember (lol). Tonight was the Youth dinner. It was wonderful. The youth of the church were the servers and everything was served via candle light. It was such a nice night to be surrounded by fellow saints in Christ. It made me realized that we should do things like on a regular basis. Being Christians doesn't mean that we have to be boring. We get to live knowing that we received the most wonderful gift ever: eternal life! Everyday for me feels like a celebration; a day to enjoy the life that has been given to me. Why shouldn't we? Anyone care to join me?

What I Learned This Week.......

So I decided to recap on my week....

Monday I had a wonderful day off and I learned my cousin might be getting married sooner than anyone expected. She has it sooo bad and she is swimming in the sea of denial.....
Tuesday I remembered why I first fell in love with caffeine (sigh). I think the person who discovered it should get an extra jewel in his/her crown when they get to heaven, lol. Just joking; but seriously I had Southern Pecan coffee at work today and all I can say is "Praise the Lord and may His mercies endureth forever".
Wednesday I realized that even though we want the guys to do everything first, we are going to have to help them out there or we might be waiting until the Lord comes for them to actually say what they're thinking....Oh yeah and if I could find a Christian version of John Mayer...(sigh)
Thursday I realized how much I love this nut God created: ME! I wouldn't change anything about me, well except the fact that I can have a long drawn out conversation in my sleep without trying; but I digress. I was in Bible School yesterday and we were discussing discernment. I have been seeking God about that forever, (well not forever but you get the point) and now everywhere I turn its being talked about.
Friday is today. TGIF! Well only because I can sleep in tomorrow (or try to). I have to make sure I have everything sorted out for the dinner. I have to also remember to show myself friendly. I hope everyone's week was blessed. May God bless you and yours.

Kristen Stewart - New Moon will be better than twilight?

Kristen Stewart deserved to be proud that in 2008 Twilight became an international box office hit, making over $356 million dollars worldwide. Based on the 1st book in the trilogy written by author Stephenie Meyer, Twilight gave fans and Summit Entertainment their money’s worth with an almost $70 million opening weekend, which nearly doubled the $37 million production budget. Numbers aside, Twilight generated mainstream interest in the remainder of the upcoming adaptations - New Moon and Eclipse - with a newly heightened anticipation already swelling amongst fans of the novels and the first film, which launched the beginning of what’s sure to be a lucrative, fan friendly franchise.

Moviegoers who went into Twilight without reading the books before seeing the film pushed sales of the original Twilight novel back into the top ten bestsellers list. Since the release of Twilight in November 2008, press and fan-buzz for the sequel New Moon has been mounting since a development deal was confirmed and casting for New Moon began. All the original actors are on tap to star in New Moon, with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson set to reprise their roles as Bella and Edward respectively.

In the sequel, New Moon brings fresh characters to the story and raises the importance of others already established, namely Jacob Black who was introduced in the first part of the trilogy. However, with New Moon already in production in Vancouver, British Columbia, the Twilight sequel could see a few more already established young actresses in 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord and 15-year old Hollywood veteran Dakota Fanning. Although McCord and Fanning haven’t been officially confirmed for roles in New Moon, only currently "in Talks", it’s been reported that Dakota Fanning is circling the part of Jane, a new character introduced in the second novel.

With a new director in Golden Compass helmer Chris Weitz, who replaces Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, New Moon will indeed be "new" to fans in several ways, including the continuation of an increasingly intricate story. And when it comes to the online buzz surrounding the Twilight sequel, there’s no shortage of speculation as to how New Moon will shape up.

Although Twilight didn’t strike quite a favorable nerve with critics and it left some hardliners of the novel feeling like the film had not done the book justice, the stakes are definitely higher for the sequel.

Wait and see...

Be Yourself?

"Be yourself, everyone else is taken."- Oscar Wilde.
This has to be one of my favorite secular quotes. Why? Because it states the facts in one sentence. Everything is summed up for you in a simple statement: be yourself. Why? Because, everyone else is taken. If you're not yourself who are you going to be? I remember before I rededicated my life to Christ I was all over place. I didn't know who I was anymore. When I got back into church, I thought I was supposed to look, talk, and sound like everyone else because they looked like "christians". But by who's standards? When I became completely sold out for Christ it was a change that started from the inside: the heart. God started working on me, in me, and through me. He made me aware of skirt lengths, shirt sizes. I became more aware of the way I looked, talked, carried myself, etc. because I was becoming who God wanted to: me. And that included my crazy print bohemian dresses (believe me, I have a lot) , ethnic jewelry, 4 inch stilettos, short curly hair, etc. There's a person or people I can reach because I am being the person God has made me to be. Jesus didn't fit the mold. He was unconventional in every sense of the word. He reached out to those who would have been lost otherwise; he was a teacher and lived a life so his could be the ultimate example. He broke the mold we were expected to fit into. It's not about tradition or religion in the sense you're just wearing the title of a christian. It's about a personal relationship with Christ. The word Christian is broken down simply: Christ-like. When we become Christ-like, we come who He wants us to be. When you find Jesus, you find yourself.

Everyone Loves the Jonas Brothers!

The Jonas Brothers were on Ellen yesterday and took place in "Blindfolded Musical Chairs."

You may be impressed by the fact that I know all the names of the brothers. There's:


Old Jonas


Straight-Hair Jonas

and my favourite, Cute Jonas.

The Jonas Brothers claim to be virgins... but things got a lil kinky during musical chairs. Please review the evidence:

1. At 3:02 on the video the girl grabs the crotch of "Cute Jonas."
2. At 4:18 of the video "Straight-Hair Jonas" motorboats the girl.



Virgins my ass!

My Review - Tim Horton's Latte

I've officially tried the new Timmy's latte... and surprisingly it's not too shabby!

Pros:

Cheap (About $2.50 for a medium)

Comes with the good kind of lid. Not the ones where you have to rip open and push into the slot and it won't stay down.

Good flavour

Cons:

Made with 2% milk only, no exceptions

No decaf option

It's no Starbucks!

When I went through the drive-thru I asked the girl if they had sugar-free syrup and she didn't know. She tells me "It's a syrup shot." Obviously! Now go check if it's sugar-free, honey! After checking she assured me that it was (which I later confirmed on their website - 4cals, 1carb.)

She did say to me though, "So you want just the flavour shot, not the vanilla base then?" I replied "yes," but I'm pretty sure that as a latte it shouldn't have a vanilla base. Latte=espresso+steamed milk+flavour if wanted... am I right? Isn't that what Timmy's is trying to market now? "Real" drinks as opposed to their old cappuccinos that were from a mix? Either this girl was confused and has been making them incorrectly... or Tim's is the same as always.

One thing to point out is that it's still the same old Timmies... and you will need to go the the bathroom after drinking one!

Summary

Better than the lattes I've had from the Bread Garden. Good flavour and coffee kick for your price. If you want something super fancy to go Starbucks, but hopefully these will stick around for a while.

Say What You Need to Say

"...fighting with the shadows in your head. Living in the same old moment, knowing you'd be better off instead; if you could only: Say what you need to say, say what you need to say..."
That John Mayer song always comes to mind when I think of the circumstances of a friend of mine potential friendship/relationship. I really don't know what to call it as of right now. I think everyone is confused of the standing. They rarely talk, barely text, but she likes him and he likes her. He knows she used to model and treats her like she isn't like everyone else; even though she would like for him to see her as such. It's funny to see them interact or the lack thereof and at the same time it's frustrating. I think the thing that irks her the most is that he confided in her best friend that he's interested in her and needs the best friends help in taking the next steps. I think they should start hanging out in a group setting since they both share mutual friends so he will become more comfortable around her and see what everyone else sees: she's a total nut! (lol). It's funny how things translate differently between men and women. She has let go and let God a long time ago and says if he's for her, than he's for her. I couldn't agree more. It makes no sense forcing something that isn't yours because in the end when its done you have to deal with the consequences. The funny thing is that everyone knows they belong together. We have to pray for boldness on his part so he can finally voice what he has been telling others to her.

**GASP!!**

I heard a vicious, horrible rumor the other day... and from my best friend too.

She informed me that my future husband (or at least the guy I hope to have sex with at least once in my lifetime) is gay.

I'm talking about Taylor Pyatt here people!

Apparently according to her friend he hangs out in the "gay parts" of Vancouver all the time. (I'm assuming Davie street?)

So what if he hangs out on Davie? Maybe he just likes rainbows!

I don't really believe it, considering I read an article in the Vancouver Sun back when the Canucks first aquired Pyatt where he talked about living in Yaletown with his girlfriend, but I guess you never know. (Aside: stalker alert! I just Googled his girlfriend and she's actually pretty, but in a fake, super-long bleach blonde extensions sorta way.)

Either way Pyatt is hot. And really, what more can you ask for in a hockey player? Skills? Unimportant!

Here are some hot pics of Taylor (yup, we're on a first-name basis) that I thought everyone might enjoy. I also have some others that I got off the Canucks website that I can't just right-click-save so I'm working on it!

Turtle Turtle I did a Wordle

Yuh-huh, it does too rhyme!

I "Wordled" my blog and this is what I got. I likey.


You too can Wordle. Thanks Wordle. I like saying Wordle.

More Caffeine Please!

It's been a month since I had a cup of coffee. So today at work I got my big company cup and filled it to the brim with Starbucks Sumatra and had it with Reese's Peanut Buttercups, and sat in front of my computer and visited my favorite website: Wikipedia. My sisters at church tell me that I'm addicted to caffeine, but I totally disagree. I look at it as an appreciation for the drink. I can stop drinking if I wanted to, really I can. But I don't need to, and I don't want to. I can't wait to have a Starbucks Caramel Macchaito and CRUMBS vanilla with rainbow sprinkles cupcake. I want one so bad!
This morning on my way to work I was listening to Bethany Dillon's self titled debut album (2004). I love her sound! I appreciate all genres of music but lately I have been into acoustic and folk rock. She is such a on fire young woman of God. I had to remind myself that at the time she recorded this album she as only 14! You can hear in her songs that she really loves the Lord. I love all the songs on that album. I first discovered her last year because I was into Colbie Caillat's sound, so I asked the Lord to help me find a Christian artist with a similar acoustic/folk/pop sound. I found something better: Bethany Dillon. I listened to her "So Far: Acoustic Sessions" (2008) album and was hooked! She also has these two love songs called "When You Love Someone" and "For My Love". "For My Love" is on her debut album and its such a beautiful song. I kept playing that song over and over. It had me thinking, this is what love songs should sound like. Love is something that God created to be pure and to show His presence in that relationship. Why? Because God is love, so your relationship should be based on and in God. These days, love is often mistaken by lust. Relationships are built on sex, physical attraction, and what "feels good". But if we let God leads us, its this beautiful experience that starts out as a slow burn and becomes this beautiful passionate relationship as God has intended. Too deep? I think not. Maybe it's the lack of caffeine that has me like this, I think its time for my second cup.

Matching Outfits?

Happy Presidents Day! I am only saying this because I finally have a day off from work! THANK YOU JESUS! I was planning to go to the city and look for a dress for Saturday. My friends church is having a Youth Dinner, so I need a dress. Well, I don't need one but since I gave up shopping as part of my Daniel's fast I wanted to be in the stores badly. I need a fix, lol. My church went into a Daniel's fast for 21 days. From 6:00 am until 6:00 pm we refrained from food and sought the Lord. After 6:00, we were only allowed to have fruits and vegetables. It was easy except for the no caffeine and sugar part. My first week without coffee, I thought I would pass out! I decided to further sacrifice (I needed a serious breakthrough), I gave up shopping (its like breathing for me, lol) and wikipedia. Wikipedia, you ask? Yup, I read this website everyday! I love it, I learn something new everyday. if you haven't caught on yet, I am an absolute nerd. But I digress, I ended up staying home until the afternoon, I went to my cousins' job so we could go to the mall afterwards to dress shop ( I was desperate). It was there when my she revealed to me that she and her new boyfriend were going to do the unthinkable: wear matching outfits! I thought I was hearing things. My cousin is so anti-romantic I sometimes think she's a guy. But now that's she has entered courtship she has turned into a pile of gushing, always smiling, giggling, constantly talking about him GIRL! SMH, and I though she was family. I hope this doesn't catch, lol. This is 3 out of 4. I am all that's left in the single pond. I absolutely love it. But now that one wedding is months away, the next is planning hers and my cousin is now in courtship, I realize that girls nights out, group outings will now become double dating and couples outings. So now with this youth dinner looming on the horizon, and the reminder that the tickets sell as "single" and "couples" I cling to my identity as a "single" by a thread. I love the fact that I am in this stage of building and polishing but I think I am going to need new friends, lol. Who likes being a 7th wheel during bowling, movie nights, and at dinner outings anyway?

We're on a Roll!

For those of you who are enjoying the Canucks' comeback after their 9-game losing streak, well I'd like to say "You're welcome!"

I attended the game against Carolina 2 weeks or so ago, where they won their 1st out of 10 games and they've been doing well since. Before I went I knew they were going to win. I just knew. And I also became their self-proclaimed lucky charm. Either I'm psychic, lucky or both. Coincidence? I think not!

I attended the game with a friend of a friend. I drove out to Richmond to meet up with him (which took me like an hour 45 grr) and we headed downtown. Unfotunaely due to my lateness we didn't have time for dinner, so we grabbed some GM Place food. The 4-Cheese pizza is pretty good, except for the fake parmesan cheese makes it a little gritty. Like picnic pizza.

It was a great game. My sister even said after that I didn't deserve to go to that good of a game because I'm not fan enough. Well nyah nyah to you!

Here is the play-by-play accoring to me: We started out up by two... and then they scored. Then they scored again and it was called a no-goal. Then WE scored and it was called a no goal. Then they tied it up. I was pretty nervous when we took a penalty (way to go Ohlund) with like 3 minutes left in the 3rd period. As you all know, we aren't too good in shootouts! Then miraculously we scored on a short-handed breakaway and won the game. It was madness in GM Place!

The guy that I went with and I got along really well. He made fun of me for liking Pyatt too... but he did it in a nice way. I could tell he liked me, but I didn't really feel any sparks flying. I figured I'd go out with him again if he asked though.

Brighter Than Sunshine

Today I woke up to that song constantly playing in my head. The song "Brighter Than Sunshine" by Aqualung was in the movie "A Lot Like Love" starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. The funny thing was I wasn't watching the movie but practicing the bad habit of sleeping with the TV on. The title of the song is what gets me, its part of an inside joke my girlfriends and I share. I will share with you soon enough.
Anywho, today at church I was upstairs with the children teaching Children's Church. I absolutely love being around them, they're tiring but I love their energy. This month we are teaching them about Exodus and Black History Month. Afterwards, we had a bake sale. Last night I made 14 dozen cookies (oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and white chocolate and macadamia nut) and a dozen cupcakes. I didn't finish until 3 am. It wouldn't have been so bad but my alarm woke me up 3 hours later! To God be the glory! In the evening, me and the girls did our regular routine and hung out by my cousin in-law to be house. We didn't feel like cooking so we ordered Chinese food. We went easy on the fried food since we just came off our Daniel's fast. The best thing? Knowing I can sleep in tomorrow.

Kristen Stewart was asked marry by Robert Pattinson?

Kristen Stewart was behind Robert Pattinson's decision to take the part of vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight", He has admitted.

Robert Pattinsonrevealed: "(Stewart) She’s basically the reason I did the film."
He hunk also said he and Kristen Pattinson became close after working together in the movie. Btw, Kristen is currently dating actor Michael Angarano.

Pattinson even revealed he once proposed to Kristen Stewart even though he can’t remember when it happened.

Pattinson continued: "I can't even remember when this happened, but Kristen is like 'Yeah, you did.'"

Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson previously admitted that he found himself attracted to Stewart, adding: “Kristen in amazing, and your first impulse is to ask her for her phone number. But then I forced myself to remember that 90 percent of what you do on screen is acting and make things up.”

The Power of a Love Letter

I'm an old fashion girl in the sense that if you have something meaningful and/or passionate (not too passionate) to say to me that it should be said in a letter. Don't get me wrong, I want you to say it to my face as well but there is something amazing about making your thoughts and words immortal. Perfect example: I came across a book in Barnes & Noble (during one of my many book runs, I know I need help) called "Love Letters of Great Men" by Ursula Doyle. Not all of them were the most romantic but the fact that they communicated what was on their minds and hearts without fear gets to me. Everytime I watch Persuasion (both versions) I stopped breathing and listen to every word Frederick says to Anne in his letter. For him, that was it. He had to let Anne know everything, it was his last chance. He had no fear.
It brings to mind one of my favorite Bible verses that I always go back to: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18). If Frederick didn't write Anne and let himself dwell on the past and being afraid, we wouldn't have know about their happy ending. If you have God, you have love, and if you have love you can't have fear because God hasn't given us a spirit of fear.
That being said, maybe its time to write a letter. Literally or figuratively. Maybe its time to do something that the Lord has laid on your heart, maybe its time share your testimony with someone who is going through the same thing you have been through. Maybe its time to open your heart to your future helpmate. You never know. If we keep fearing and hiding instead of living and loving the way God has intended for us we will never get anything done. When will you let God write you and love letter or vice versa?

Dream Big Danielle, Dream Big!

Last night I had a dream that I got with Chris Brown. I don't know if we did it in the dream... because usually in those type of dreams I can never actually see the guy's face, I just know they're hot. But, we definitely did a little kissing action.

The worst part though, was that in the dream I KNEW he was a WIFEBEATER and I DIDN'T CARE! I was saying "I still think you're a good guy," to him!

Honestly, what is WRONG with me? Maybe it's some Freudian thing and means something else completely? Help me out here psych majors!

Oh and speaking of that I also had a dream the other day that I was playing with baby tigers so if anyone knows what that means either I'm all ears.

Word of the Day

Aaaaaand the word of the day is ... drumroll please... "Piloerection." It's the scientific term for goosebumps.

Now girls can have erections too!

Next time you're cold ladies say: "Man... my arms have the hugest boner right now! Someone wanna take care of this for me?"

Or if you wake up in the morning and it's cold you complain "Wow... I have some HUGE morning wood today!"

Play with it... I'm sure you'll come up with something good.

PS. The "play with it" pun was purely unintentional, but shows you how my twisted mind works.

Table for 1?

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. On this day you fall into two categories: the haves and the have-nots. You either have someone to be your Valentine who will shower you with gifts and affection or you go out and eat solo or catch a chick-flick with another single girlfriend. Then you two try not empty too many containers of Ben & Jerry chocolate chip cookie dough. If you're the latter like moi, its the best time to embrace your singleness. After all it is a gift from God. This is a time to be broken from old habits, put through the fire, cleaned and polished before we meet our partner for this walk. If you have been called to a life of "singleness"? You have the ultimate lover of your soul to talk with whenever and wherever. How excellent is that?
In a society where they reserve showing their love to the significant other for this particular day, I often wonder: Is everyday Valentine's Day for the Christian believer? Think about it, God loved us so much that He sent His ONLY son to beome the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have everlasting life (John 3:16). I think that we should be thinking about the spiritual roses and chocolates we get from the Lord everyday in His word and life.

Superskills

I met a guy through a couple of girls that I used to work with a few weeks ago when we all played Taboo. I like games like that... except for the fact that they raise my blood pressure because I NEED to win. I'm sorta like Monica on Friends. It's a sickness.

I thought the dude was kinda cute except that he has these two mole things on his nose that I don't know why he doesn't get removed, but I don't know him well enough to ask about it. He's also smart and seemed funny so I agreed when he asked me to to to the Canucks Superskills competition with him.

The drive there was a bit of a gong show. First off he kinda scared me as a driver. I've been in 5 car accidents now, none of which were my fault, and when people drive a recklessly it makes me really nervous. This guy drove a little too fast (90 in a 50 zone when there were cars everywhere) and tail-gated a little too close for my liking. He also told me that since he knows how to park a big SUV that it makes him a good driver and argued with me when I said that parking and driving were separate issues. Fast forward and we were sitting in slow traffic around the Vancouver Flea Market and had like 45 mins to get to GM Place. He decided that it was gonna take too long so he turns onto a side road... which was a dead end, and then another which was a dead end, so we ended up where we started. I suggested we just go back then and take the skytrain down. I tell him we can go to Rupert where we can park super close, but instead of taking us there he drives us near Nanaimo station and parks us like 5 blocks away at his grandma's. Did I mention it's pouring, we have no umbrella and my coat isn't even waterproof? I made him take us to where I suggested in the first place and it was a 30 second walk.

We got into our box at GM Place just in time for the start. I took White team and he took Blue. What I had to deal with now were his repetitive, douchebag jokes. Everyone who knows me knows that I can take a joke. It takes a LOT to offend me, and even I thought this guy was taking things too far. It got to the point where I kinda had to be a bitch back to him, because I could only laugh things off and be cordial for so long.

First it was one after another about the Canucks lack of "skills" at the Superskills... That was until I told him that if he was gonna joke about it at least make the joke funny. Then he made constant fun of Pyatt because my girlfriend had mentioned to him that I have a major crush. I told him Pyatt was "man-pretty" and he started calling him my "man-child" and kept it up... and up... and up. The way he was acting was like he was actually JEALOUS or something. He mentioned Pyatt was slow and I giggled it off saying that he's big so he has lots of wind resistance... but I can only be witty and laugh something off so many times. I said to him "Whatever, you know you would do him. You told me. In the car on the way here. You must have a bad memory or something."

Another annoying thing was that every time my team was down he kept telling me that I owed him pushups. It was funny the first time when he said I owed 20. But then I owed 40 and then 60 and then 120. I went from telling him "sure sure" to "not gonna happen" to "you're delusional" until he told me that he was going to MAKE me do them. Not the right thing to say to an intelligent, independent girl.

If I had a way of getting home I would have just left... but I didn't. The competition finally ended (my team with Pyatt on it won... take that asshole) and we drove home.

I assumed the hatred was mutual... until he messaged me the next day saying he had fun and wanted to hang out again. WHAT? How could he possibly think that went well?

Deliveries

As you all know I haven't been doing a lot lately. I rarely leave the house during the day, and I watch a lot of TV and go on the computer. It's a hard, hard life.

Today I'm at home waiting for Sears to drop off our new stove. It's supposed to arrive anywhere from 12:00-5:00. Really? A FIVE HOUR timeslot?

The thing is that even though I probably wouldn't be going anywhere anyways, it bothers me that I CAN'T. How dumb is that?

I did go for a tan and to Starbucks this morning though. And after two tans I'm pretty toasty looking and loving it. Farewell pasty! I'm back to tanned and blonde!

... and a one and a two

Last night I went with my mama to step class at the gym and it nearly killed me.

I was surrounded by fat ladies that were kicking my ASS! I reached a point where I was trying not to either a) pass out or b) puke... so I stopped with the arms and stopped with the peppy moves and just went through the motions.

Tonight I'm going to Hip Hop class. Hopefully I'll have a leg up on the old ladies at this one!

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's Relationships...

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson look so cute together!!! Some fans of them wish they would start going out. Kristen is just so pretty and a good actor and rob well i guess just looks handsome but we don't exactly know Why Kristen wants to date the sky high dude

Unfortunately, Both of them are Friendship. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have chemistry but its only friendship.

Kristen Steart's dating Michael Arangano b/coz Both of them like to smoke a lot of dope together... while Pattinson only likes 2 drink & insult women w/ crude pick up lines...Pattinson and Stewart are nothing more than co-workers... and while I enjoyed their performances in Twilight... they really have nothing going for them outside of acting.

:)

The English Language Explained... Well Partly

The English language has changed greatly over the years. We say "you" instead of "ye" nowadays, and gay means something entirely different than happy. (Not to say gay people aren't happy, you're seen the parades!)

More recently was the introduction of "What's up?" to simply mean "Hello." You often hear a guy greeting another with "Hey, what's up?" and a reply of "Yo, what's up?" No one says how they're actually doing. No "I'm good", no "Comme Ci Comme Ca", no "Shitty, my wife ran away with the dishwasher repair guy."

It's boys that do it more than girls... and dudes are the only ones to do this next one. They have proven that "I'll call you" officially means "goodbye." It doesn't mean he will phone you. It is a direct synonym for "later."

I don't understand it. I'd rather just have you not ask for my number so I can deal with the rejection at that time instead of waiting for 3 days to be rejected. But that's not the way it works.

So remember this ladies! It will save you a lot of wondering. "Talk to ya soon" means "See ya!" And if he's one of the old-fashioned guys that hasn't converted to the new English yet and actually calls then it's a pleasant surprise! :)

One Drunken Thursday

It was one of my girlfriend's birthdays at the end of January so we went out to celebrate. We did dinner at U-Lounge in White Rock. I really like the appies there and the atmosphere is good, but the menu is very limited. The soups sounded yummy too (butternut squash or cauliflower with truffle oil), but aren't available at night.

After dinner we were deciding whether we wanted to head to Mirage for a bit, or head downtown to Brandi's... where a friend of a friend said he was headed tonight with Colin Farrell. I was designated driver, and I wasn't about to let my friend hang out at a 19-year-old person bar when she had the chance to meet a super hot Irishman, so to the peelers we headed!

At Brandi's I shared my first lap dance ever with my friend. It was... interesting. I guess it would have been more fun if I liked poon, but at least I can say I've done it. Cross that one off the bucket list.

One of the bartenders there was super cute and I spent a bunch of time talking to him. He's a stand-up comedian downtown, which is pretty cool. The other bartender (who was also super cute and a comedian too, but shorter than me ugh) invited us to stick around after closing for a drink, so we stayed for a while.

After closing my girlfriend whose birthday it was showed us her moves on the pole. She thought she was pretty good. Keywords she thought. Then the two girls started what I can only call an "improv-off" by acting out a scene in which they were runway models who were overdosing on cocaine. They were flailing on the ground having fake seizures and yelling things like "You did 8 grams of coke!" I almost peed myself laughing.

The cute bartender invited us to come out to a party... but I told him that it was more of sleepy cuddle time for me. He's like "But we don't have any blankets!" and I said jokingly "What about pillows?" Well they actually DO have pillows... so he grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the couch and we chilled there and snuggled. Then he kissed me. It was nice.

As we left he asked for my number. I gave it to him and said that he wasn't going to call me anyways. He said we'll see... He didn't. Colin Farrell never showed up either. I was happy though... it had been a while since I made out with a boy, and I was due. Maybe my game is back!

Alli - CAUTION - not for the faint hearted

So as I've already mentioned I'm trying to lose a few pounds... and I also don't like to work at it... So I looked into that weight-loss pill Alli that I'd seen on commercials as the only FDA approved pill.

The way it works is by binding to the enzymes in your digestive system that break down fat, so instead of digesting it all 25% just goes all the way through. You know, like peanuts, or corn. Sounds good so far right?

You are also supposed to stick to a low-fat diet with only 15 grams per meal, which may be tricky (15 gr is close to the fat in a grande Starbucks Caramal Frappucino.)

According to them I shouldn't be taking the pill until I'm 167 pounds. "Well what do they know?" I thought to myself. That's when I read the possible side effects. Straight off the Alli website:

alli™ works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes, known as treatment effects. You may get:

gas with oily spotting
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control

The excess fat that passes out of your body is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza.

Pick a day to begin taking alli, such as a weekend day so you can stay close to home if you experience a treatment effect. Make the timing work for you. If you're getting ready to travel or attend a social event, hold off on starting with alli until the event is over.

You may feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom. Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it's probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work.

You may not usually get gassy, but it's a possibility when you take alli. The bathroom is really the best place to go when that happens.

All I can say is EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Apparently experiencing these "treatment options" can be a plus though, by making you stick to the recommended amount of fat per meal. I guess once you poop your pants you don't really wanna do it again, therefore no "cheating."

Happy dieting guys!

for all you cat lovers out there

Cats are better than dogs.

Dogs:
a) stink ( I know you're thinking "MY dog doesn't stink" and guess what... you're wrong)
b) eat poop and lick your mouth
c) are only cute when they are puppies, with some exceptions (your shitzu is not the exception)

I came across a little video on YouTube that you may enjoy:

It's about cats and it's made by engineers. They are smart so they know what they're talking about.

Hottest NHL Players

Hey all. I'm planning on doing a post on the hottest players in the NHL and would appreciate any ideas you can give me.

I'm talking pure physical good looks here... I don't care if he reads to sick children or is a total a-hole.

Thanks!

Kristen Stewart Take care her Pet, Pooch

Kristen Stewart’s been laying low-key as of late, but She was snapped taking care of Stewart pet pooch in LA on Tuesday afternoon on February 3, 2009.

Kristen Stewart toted her dog to the Westlake Village Animal Hospital, dressed casually in jeans and a grey hooded sweatshirt.

Meanwhile, Stewart just recently spoke to press about the "instant bond" stewart had w/ Robert Pattinson, the "Twilight" co-star.

“The chemistry between artists is difficult to define. But in my case when I looked at Robert it was like I could look into his heart, and he could do the same, and that was very important,” Stewart says. “That’s how I would describe the chemistry between us.”

School's Out FOREVA!

I have officially grduated. (With honours I might add!) Whoo Hoo!!

Our grad ceremony the most disorganized thing ever. So I won't really mention it. Except that Cerina, Teddy and I finally got our cheque for our award-winning table clinic "Bling-Bling No No's." Hells yeah $83.33!

I also wrote my board exam the other day. That's what I need to pass so I can actually get my lisence and work. 4-6 weeks and I'll know! I'm pretty sure I passed but you can never be 100%.

Now it's time to look for work. So far I've been avoiding that like the plague. Ugh.

But... if anyone knows of a dentist that's hiring a hygienist let me know! Preferably in the valley... Langley, Surrey, Abby, White Rock etc. I don't think I can handle commuting over the bridge ever again.

I'm a Loser!

I gained a few pounds around Christmas. Approximately 12. That's a lot on a little person. Well I'm not that little... But I know there's a problem when certain jeans don't fit me anymore. So I needed to do something about it. My parents and I are doing our own personal "The Biggest Loser." Tuesday mornings are weigh-ins. We are going on our 4th week now. The first 2 weeks I won, and last week my mom did. She's disqualified for cheating this upcoming week though because she had the flu and I can't compete with that. And I've also been pretty bad this week too. I've drank on 3 of the days, and eaten greasy food twice. BAD DANIELLE.

The good news is that I've lost about 6 lbs so far. Halfway there! My goal weight is 125, which may be a long shot, but is do-able if I really put in the effort.

JT Update

My girlfriend dragged me out to the Mirage the other night. It was the 2-year anniversary of her getting engaged to the guy she is no longer with, so I figured I couldn't say no. Plus, who doesn't love being the oldest person at a club, right?

Danny Fernandez was there doing an appearance. He's the one that sings that song "You can be my private dancer" ... Not to be confused with Tina Turner's "I'm your private dancer... dancer for money!" He had added my gf to Facebook and had been messaging her and texting her so we went to the VIP area to say hi. Well he kissed us on the cheek and then ignored us. Not to be a groupie for a C-list celebrity (unlike the girls hanging over the edge of the velvet rope trying to get in) we took off. He was really short anyways.

My friend comes back from the bathroom and mentions that she saw this guy JT who I had sort of been seeing in March/April and he was excited to see me. Hazy on the details? I was too, so here are some reminders:

We'll See

The Hospital is the Place to Be

JT No Mo

We walk over to say hi. I wave... and JT jumps up, runs over and puts his arms around me and hugs me really tight. Then we stood there, in slow-dancing stance for like 5 minutes just talking. He apologized for how he acted before and told me that I'm an awesome girl and it was all his fault. He said that he wasn't fully over his ex then and he is now and has matured a lot. Then we kissed. A few times. I don't know what it is about him... but there is just this crazy instant undeniable chemistry. We had to take off and he told me we'd hang out the next day.

That night he was texting me and then we talked for a while. He couldn't hang out the next day because he worked late, so we did lunch the day after. Then we went back to his place and watched a movie and cuddled. It was really nice.

And then... drumroll please... I didn't hear from him for a week. Sound familiar? And what do I do? Call him on it! I am so NOT cool. I was like "Oh I didn't think I was gonna hear from you," and he asks "Why wouldn't you?" and I told him that I thought it was just like last time. He says that we haven't talked so how could he be acting like last time... but that was exactly the problem last time... that we DIDN'T talk.

And since that day I haven't heard from him again. I have officially given up... AGAIN. Doesn't matter how great things are when we're together if we never are!
