It's time to find myself back

I started reading this book back in 2002... and for some reason (actually, I know the reason), I was really distracted. On Sunday night, when I was just kind of going through my old things, I found this book on my book shelf.. and found a card in it.. my dear little sister in Christ Angela gave me this book as a gift. So I began to read about it... knowing that part of my heart already died... and it's been a few years since I feel alive again.

Today, I woke up at 5:45am... and it feels good. Remember that I shared about not knowing what's missing in my heart and that I don't know why I don't respond to certain events? Well... I believe that I was missing my heart...

It's time to find myself back.

Street Fighter II nostalgic tournament

It's been a long time since I played Street Fighters II. I'd say probably more than 10 years since my college days. And today, after Sunday Service, some of the guys (Alvin, Peter, Andy, and me) decided that we'll "get it on" at Peter's house during the evening time since Jane will be hanging around with the sisters.

Well, it turned out that Andy didn't show up (ya, I think he was afraid of us dethroning him) because he didn't sleep much last night and might not be at his best. So Alvin, me, and Tao went to Peter's place for some relaxing fun.

Thanks, Peter, again for opening up your house.

Hollywood Bowl: Fantasia

Tonight we went to the Hollywood Bowl with YAF. Spetacular fireworks display in synch with the orchestra. Btw, the date on the video showed 8-09-06... well, I made a mistake. It was recorded on 08-19-06.



It was about 15 years ago when I first went to the Bowl... and I remembered that traffic was disastrous after the event. So this time, we parked the car at one of the free lots and paid the fare for the shuttle.

For those of you who don't know... the shuttle buses get to leave first after the event. So by the time we got half way back home, our other friends were just getting on the freeway (hehe).

Anyways, it's great music and great crowd of 20,000 people... imagine the traffic jam out of Hollywood... yikes!

Godspeed!

Dear Kent,

It's been great to catch up with you on old times. I've known you since high school (about 19 years) and we went through college together. Thanks for showing me on how to play the guitar and the meaning of worship... how to place God first in our lives. I remembered the times when you were searching for your calling in life. And that you've found it in the mission field.

Godspeed on your upcoming long term missions to India. It's wonderful to hear your sharing this morning at the place where I believe God has called me to: the marketplace.

With much prayers, I ask that our faithful God will bless, enrich, enpower, provide, and keep you and your family safe in the foreign land. I also ask that I will be able to make a difference by responding to His call... here at the marketplace.

Grace and peace to you with blessings...

Donald

Hillsong!

I got to work at 8:30am so that I can take off work at 5:30 and hopefully get to The Rock Church right around 6:15ish...

I remember the last time that I went to a Hillsong event was probably 4 years ago at Faith Community Church in West Covina. It's funny how I remember the event still very vividly in my mind. I don't recall the date or year, but it just didn't seem that long ago...

I feel like playing my guitar and woship God even though I'm at work now... lately, I've been wanting to refamiliar myself with the songs I sang years ago to God.

Maybe I'm just getting nostalgic toward the past... last night... in the middle of the night... I took out the old Sega Saturn and played Street Fighter... :p

Party on 7-28-06

I've been busy lately... so I haven't really had too much time to update my blog (sorry, people). Below is the video I've taken last Friday for the special party:
