[sunday aug 21 2005] woke up bright and early...did devos and...went to church super early at 9, to get
baptized with ada and gen!!! up to that day i wasnt really nervous, but like that morning, was pretty scary. pastor kinson was sooo encouraging and nice about everything. anywaze...ada went first and did her testimony. and it was good. next up was me..i was soo nervous..i was kicking around in the tank! to be honest i got a bit teary when i was
thanking kyrios counselors and pastor eyen, thanx u guys. then i very..badly sung out LOUD, by mySELF, King of Majesty...apparently a bunch of me talked to me and told me they were singing too, but i didnt actually hear anybody.. i saw like the first 2 rows singing..like mike, nadine, ryan, mares, jen, nat, and ppl. soo thanx.. i didnt hear ANYBODY singing the "HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY" part... but yeah..i got dunked..it was...uplifting? is that the word...felt..good..anywaze dried off and listened to gen's testimony wit ada, and we had a good service, and just EVERYBODY there was soo nice and soo caring and thotful to me..
after service.. i got soo many gifts and cards.. JUST THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR ALL THAT. u didnt have to..but u did, and it means a lot! thanx everybody.. even just everybody that went up to me and congratulated me, thanx..
best baptism lunch ever!
eyen "treated" me out to lunch, upstairs on the 3rd floor with the newcomers luncheon, well kenric said there was alotta extra food... so we werent mooching! that was good.. then we went to
york mills to ump a softball game..pyros vs. oracles..
ok, on the pyrios there was this older dude, and he wasnt there for the intro, but he came in and his first at bat, he hits a homerun over the fence, and he runs all the bases and when he comes home, mike ejects him for wearing a watch..anywaze, he accepted that call, but later when i made some calls at 1, some REALLY REALLY close calls...that same guy comes up to me and disagrees with my calls and starts talkin to me and stuff.. well i didnt let it get to me..i was just like.."
yeah-ok-whatever!" (thanx
mike for backing me up on those calls)
anywaze later..we played our game, and we won pretty...distinctively..but we played well..i think i played really well.. i only played 3 innings at the beginning, but i think i did good...not well, but good.
alison and carrie came out to watch our game!! yay thanx guys for comin out! and alotta ppl came out. pastor kinson, ben, and the usual "entourage" lol. sam. we had a fun game...
afterwards..i just went home to
pack for camping and to look at all those
cards and gifts and stuff from my baptism. thanx again to everybody who gave me stuff and wrote me stuff. i relaly preciate it. :) anywaze i was like stressing out and stuff..cuz like i didnt have some stuff for camping..and i was packing too much, and i didnt have enough room..and it was just really stressful...instead of going to eyen's at like 7ish...i went at 10:30! oh man....soo hectic..and thanx to mymom, who helped me out with the chicken for dinner and for packing me some stuff i forgot to bring... anywaze..
thanx to eyen and tori and kim for listenin to my problems that night and "sharing" mymcdonalds! lol... that night,m i was soo hyper, couldnt sleep..and i was linking EVERYTHING to like christian songs "he died..........AND ROSE AGAIN......AMAZING LOVE...." man., sorry guys, i mustve been soo annoying, and all..yeah to prevent me from keeping u guys all awake, i isolated myself so i wouldnt disturb.
[monday aug.22,2005]
monday morning, oh man..sorry guys..for being soo stupid... ugh... just terrible time management on my part... i was the last to get ready and last to pack and last to put stuff in the car..and i just held everybody up..soo sorry...i'd be pissed off at me! but yeah..after a long time of ME, we managed to get goin, and we all went up. Me, mike, rach, chun and mares, we all had some good discussions in the car goin up...remmeber! everything stays in that van!! lol hahaha everybody else wnated to know what we were talking about hahahaa... we got there..and we had to make the tents ourselves with no instruction manual. and it was soo oldschool.... soo complciated too...but we managed after a long time..and with the help of chun we got it together...


we have such a ghetto tent..we just threw tarps on it..it';s not even palced nicely. lol it just kinda droops over the tent..soo ghetto. lol. ok, after tents, we had some NICE
filipino food made by our filipinos, minus me, so that's mike and eyen. that was some good food, then we just kinda chilled and went to the beach and i talked with eyen , and there;s a good pic of
mike fishing by himself, it looks like a professional pic, like somethin from a calendar or somethin ....


anywaze...we skipped stones and stuff..i got one stone from eyen, and
i skipped 9!!!!!!!! and i couldnt do it again.... :( but we played tag later on this playground and it was soo fast...eyen, gay and mat are soo fast..i think im just too tall, i got hurt soo badly, cuts and bruises but soo fun..i gotta tell ub bout the next day with tag!

ok soo then we came back and i thot chun and rach were cooking..but then when it got late, i found out me and gary were cooking..so it was really late...and dark..but after a long time, we finally finished and for dinner we had fried macaroni made by tori, and we had fried chicken, and rice. thanx everybody for helpin out... we then had campfire and stuff... we had some good talks bout just everything...we made stories up where everybody would say a word and nesxt person say a word, and come up with a story, but it became too random and not comprehensible... i forgot what else we talked about..anywaze we went to go take showers..and i realized i didnt bring my towel. like rachel forgot hers too.. but i did what i could and just listened to music.. lol went to sleep and next morning it was freeezing..
[tues aug.23,2005]soo cold in the morning....anywaze, we had
scrambled eggs, bacon, danishes, waffles, and fried alfred (fish that they caught that morning, mixed with the bacon grease) this is SOO not camp food..but still good .. we played this game where we hafta choose 1 or the other based on how it describes you.. like lake or river, mickey or donald, diet coke or diet pepsi, picture or video..etc.. and we really got to go deep and we got to know everyone a lot better...kim doesnt know mike at ALL! lol it felt like it was 3pm but it was only 1, and we had tacos for lunch...then i dont remember what we did, i think some of us planned for kyrios, then we all went to the beach and stuff.. me and mares played football and chilled with eyen, while others went fishing and others just did some music...we later went to play tag again at the playground....


ok soo the first one, there's just a bunch of tires in a hole and i went in and i was stuck.. ok the other picture..ok soo there i am...eyen teaches me how to get on the slide..so i get up and i get tagged..so i go up there and tag eyen who's on the top... then im just lying there helplessly, then eyen says u can tag anybody within 3 secounds right? and im like yeah...then he counts to 3 in his head,, then he
PEEPS OUT AT ME WITH 1 EYE while im just lying there..and it was both freaky and both funny cuz if he comes and tags me i cant really move away...sooo i just laffed soo hard for the next 20 mins....i died laffing..my abs of steel hurt.. lol eyen. lol
went back...and chun and rach made
hot pot...sooo good...dumplings and meat and all this other good stuff... then afterwards we looked at stars..oh man... when we were just laying there and looking up. the thig is, there were
soo many stars our eyes couldnt even see em all, like u had to turn your head just to see ALL the stars cuz there were just soo many...how did ppl study these things and come up with constellations!? u could say the stars looked like ANYTHING.. anywaze we before campfire...we were doin all these funny things with
shadows, it was just too hilarious... pretending to fight, sacking ppl, oompa loompa stuff, synchronizd dancing, and a guy with like 8 arms...lol sooo funny.. then we talked about alotta stuff and we played with sparklers and stuff..
[wed. aug24,2005]next morning, we had some brunch-grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken noodle soup.sooooo good. anywaze we had to pack and stuff :( and it was sad leaving.. we went to the beach just before we left, and some random guy that looked like
syndrome from the incredibles came and wanted to take a picture WITH us.... anywaze, we had a good time coming back..this trip i learned a lot about
mike, and eyen and their crazy knowledge of
80s and 90s music.

no more batteries and it was like 80% done! worked soo hard and it just stopped everything right there and then...i was sooo angry...omg....but just everyone was soo nice about it and suggested just inviting everyone to go to mike's and wathcing it there..soo that happened and it was good..everything was better...and most of kyrios got to watch it..still wished everybody saw it..but it was still good... i hope it was alright...kinda sucks, i missed MOST of the
