on friday, joyce jennifer hershel and i went to borders to help each other study algebra 2.

on saturday, i went to tien's bday party and it was the first time i played halo 2 and its really cool and fun.   i can see now why people are crazy about this game.  and it was also the first time i betted with chips on poker.  and i won too.  how 'bout that.

on sunday, church was something that needed, pretty desperately.  gosh, the church got their building permit from the city now, and they're renovating starting tomorrow.  man..i've been to this church for 7 years now, all those good memories of climbing up the roof and ceilings of church, making our hideout/hangout with a group of friends in those bushes and trees behind the church; having that company next to our church write a letter informing us about "several kids" running through their lot, which was us.  i also remember playing frankenstein with the group, and then as we grew older, we played frankenstien but this time with flying wastebaskets and chairs.  helping out with vbs, and having those precious small groups that taught me so much and now, those stuff would be all be demolitioned and gone, tomorrow.  wow, its hard to believe 7 years has passed since then, i can't even remember the first day i went to Hoc3.  ok.  well, things have changed and the future is coming.  andrew and i shall join the sound team shortly.  and i will be the ones monitoring the audio, while andrew controls the projector and lights.  soon.  i can't wait. 

look what i found on the news today, it caught my eye.
