we are one

So many politics around. Even in church, the 'House of God', for crying out loud. Politics here and politics there. Politics' basically everywhere. It never ends.
The end of the world is coming. Judgement day. :))

I seriously can't be bothered. It's just a dumb piece of shit. :}

Anyway I received an email from Aunt Catherine. Pretty cool. Hahaha10000.
"Strategies for Teenhood". LOL.

One of the toughest jobs in the world is being a
teenager. Everything is in transition. Everything is
intense--even apathy.

Kids on the brink of adulthood have to cope with
inconsistencies and conflicts. A desire to be special
and different clashes with the need to belong and fit
in. The desire for independence collides with an
aversion to self-reliance and personal
responsibility.

I want to suggest five strategies that can make the
journey through adolescence less painful and more
enjoyable:

One: Don't run from responsibility; run toward it. The
sooner you become visibly responsible, the sooner you
will be authentically independent and free to do what
you want and be what you want.

Two: Be yourself. You don't need orange hair, a nose
ring or tattoos to be special. Dressing or behaving in
extreme ways to stand out or blend in can seem like a
desperate demand for attention. Discover your talents
and build your character, and you will be not only
noticed but respected.

Three: Resist the seduction of selfishness and
short-sightedness. People who think only of their
wants and needs sentence themselves to a dark and
lonely dungeon. Don't confuse pleasure with happiness.
Just because it feels good doesn't make it good. Don't
trade all your tomorrows for today.

Four: Don't expect too much or settle for too little.
No one can make you happy, but you can be happy. Hang
out with people who bring out the best in you, and be
the kind of person who brings out the best in others.

Five: Control your attitudes and you will control your
life. You can't always control what happens to you but
you can always control what happens in you. Remember,
pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. So is
happiness.

Hahaha.. Agree agree!! :))

Yesterday or today, ok it's yesterday cause it's 1.25am already. Hahaha10000..
Stayed over at Deb's house on Friday night. Woke up in the morning and we headed to the printing shop to check out the price for printing out the flyers. Guess what?!? The price for printing was freaking expensive!! The lady said that 10 pieces and below of A4 size cost $2 per piece. WTHeck!! $2 per piece is INSANE. Above 10 pieces is $1 per piece. [Go jump down man.] Then we told the lady we had to print like 30 pieces. And she said it costs 80cents per piece for 30. WTHeck!!
It's still freaking expensive can.
Deb and I refused to pay that much, because we could have got it done with a cheaper price. Apparently we had no choice because we are too far away from that worth it place, thus called Keenan, and ended up going to church to print out the flyers in youth office.
Practically spent the whole day in church. Hahaha1000. Actually not really because in the afternoon, Deb, me, Jeanette and Terrence went to WM to get stuff.
The roadshow wasn't that good, considering that it was the first day.
Well, after all that, I attended the parish assembly which started at 7pm.
Pretty cool. Attending it for the first time. It was not bad.
There were a lot of suggestions and opinions on how the church has progress since last year. There was a lot of feedback on how much the youth ministry has improved as a whole. It was very pleasant to hear. On the other hand, there's still much space for the youths to improve. So yea..
The food and refreshments for the parish assembly were fantastic. Hahahha1000.
We even had a mini line-dancing session. Hahaha100000... 'Honky Tonk' was played while we were eating. The moment when we heard the song, Aunt Catherine, Deb, Rach and me, 4 of us all started dancing. HAHAHA10000.. So FUN! Really enjoyed the night. :))
Oh ya.. I want to thank Uncle Michael and Aunt Catherine for sending me home just now. Thank you so so much. Yes I know I thank you all a lot a lot of times already. But still.. I want to thank you all again. So sorry to trouble you two. :))

Hahaha1000. I think I'm going to bed soon. I got to wake up at 6.30 am because I got to be in church by 8am in the morning to set up the booth for the roadshow.

It's going to be another long day in church today. Cool. Fun. :))
Goodnight people.
I Love You. :))
