Well, right now I'm here at my neighbor Jeff's house right now because there is a despedida (did I spell that correctly?) for Jeff and Jerome. They are both leaving back to Berkeley and I think the training camp for the army. I just had the best food ever here...again. Tita Ella is such a good cook. The sinigang and the spaghetti were both amazing... but the chocolate cake was WOW. Almost every year I ask her to make it for my birthday. It taste sooooo good, if you try it you too will be like "WOW!"... My gosh, talking about it makes my mouth water...
Anyway, why I think I need to do these blogs constantly is because I think I need to start looking back at all this to see how far I've come and what has changed in my life. My sister told me that she was talking to my cousin and the one thing she regretted when she was in Europe was not writing a journal while she was there about all the experiences she had. Thinking about it, it's kind of the same thing... even though it is just my normal everyday life, I have to enjoy it and really realize how amazing it can be, and that we will never experience the same exact thing over again.
So I know it’s been a while since I've blogged, but so many things happened since I last did.... (Haha, I just had to go check when I last did and had a little glance of what I last wrote about).
So, what I saw was talking about just winning League Championships and trying to make it all the way to City Finals. Well, we got there!! I really wish I had enjoyed it more... We ended up losing to Palisades, and are now ranked #2 in the Lost Angeles City Section. Although we didn't win, it was a big accomplishment. Our volleyball team hasn't gotten that far for many years until now. I love my volleyball team so much though.... I can't believe it though, that now I'm done with volleyball, because I don't think I will play in college. (I’ll still play in Fil-am!). It's so weird though thinking, now I'm done with vball, and it just makes me realize how close I am to being done with high school. One more semester to go, and I'm off!
I really wonder what is going to happen with college. I'm done with all my applications except one. It's the one school I really want to go to. I know that it's not too hard to get into, and most likely I will get in, but it's the amount of money it cost. I guess I just need to pray and ask God what I need to do about it. I'm already looking at scholarships and grants, and all that stuff (thanks to Kathy for that... and basically making sure I get into college), but I really hope I can afford it and go to the school that I want to go to. I was just thinking if all these applications and all the things that I am doing is worth it. My sister got into good schools, but she only ended up going to CC. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but looking back on it all, doing the apps and looking for ways to afford it all, it would all just be a waste. I just hope that it will all work out.
Well, It's winter break right now. I NEED to do my driver's ed. It's been a year since I last tried doing it. I was almost done last year, and then I never finished it. I told myself I was going to finish it this break… and I hope I do, I only have one week left to do it. And I still have to do my winter assignment for English; I can’t even remember what it is right now. I just have to check online, because that's where it all is. ONE WEEK TO FINISH ALL MY GOALS. Gah, I hope I can do it.... I have to say it! I CAN DO IT!
It is also the New Year!!! Wow, can you believe that 2008 is now done. So many things have happened. I'm so amazed that I was able to get through it all. As some of you know, my dad past away March 31, 2008. Til this day it still puts tears in my eyes knowing that he is not physically here with us anymore. I remember when I was younger; I used to think about the day of my wedding. I wanted it to be a in a big church with so many people, having EVERYONE I knew being there and watching me and my one true love getting married. I pictured myself going down the aisle with my dad by my side. It hurts to think about it now... hmmm... maybe I can have my mom walk me down the aisle instead. That would've been really nice. =] Well, dad, I miss you so much, with all my heart. I know one day I will see you again in heaven. It's really nice to know that he is there, and I know, because I too believe in God, and I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior, and I know he sent His son to earth only to die for us... that I because of Him would now go to heaven. Hehe, it's a very nice thought. Hmmm.... Well, I still have God here to be my Father. I look to Him when I need comfort and I need someone to be there for me. (Wow, writing this blog is making me tear up... but its a good thing, I'm realizing a lot of things as I'm writing this. =]) My gosh... THANK YOU LORD! for always being there for me. <3
hmmm... Well, for year 2009, I think to start it off, I have to set some goals for myself.
1) Doing my devotions and praying consistently
2) Having a Godly relationships with my family, friends, and all my loved ones.
3) Prioritize all that I need to do
4) Do all my work in all my classes and focus.
5) Get my permit and my license (have to finish permit part my next week).
6) Continue to strive for my relationship to grow with God.
7) Make sure that I my heart is in the right place for all that I do.
8) Spend more time with my family
9) Have my relationship become stronger with my sister.
10) Look to God first when I need someone to be there for me.
