Appearing in a friendly, professional mode,
I entrust you my life, not just on the road.
Ready to assist and aid when you can,
You are the world’s true Superman.
Another, truly, a beast uncontrollable.
Yet kind, understanding, and radiantly affable.
I respect your talent in the musical art,
And I stand awestricken by your genuine heart.
Playmaker on the court, with crazy balling,
You never fail to save me from falling.
Being the one that all people adore,
A good friend to you is what I aim for.
Hospitable in nature, and chef with the noodles,
Brightening my day when exclaiming “Fadoodles”
Though inflicted with concussions from a QB sack,
You know that I always have your back.
Lastly, stalwart, intelligent, gallant.
A living embodiment of God-given talent.
As the king of caring, you hold the crown,
You raise up my spirits when life looks down.
Though our meeting is recent, I’ll give you a tip,
Time is no measurement of a friendship.
A Love unbreakable till the end of ends,
Through troubles and trials we’ll always be friends.
But at the cross, we are honored above others,
Not to be friends, but called to be brothers.
Love you guys.

WINTER BREAK!!!
well i feel like i spent my winter break well. even though i didnt spend it entirely efficiently, that would be unreasonable so im content with the way things played out. Pretty much i just messed around alot with PBC kids ((for all you jealous folks, i got to see UBizzlemynizzlefodrizzle EVERY SINGLE DAY OF BREAK)) everyday and went to retreat(which was amazing btw). i tried to do my hw, but i was too busy relaxing =]. i know that a lot of breaks feel wasted when you didnt do everything you wanted to, but a wise man once said:
"Time enjoyed wasting, was not wasted" -John Lennon
So even though everyone is sad that break is over and school is back, just remember that instead of two weeks of winter break gone, we just got two weeks closer to SUMMER BREAK !!!! ( and SENIOR YEAER!!!) =D

You Are Here . . .
CAUTION: The following is a rant of things on my mind. Read if you have nothing better to do. . .
As all these blogs are posted up expressing our inmost emotions, i cant help but notice that so many of us are struggling through each individual day clinging and surviving our routine tribulations. Why must we each struggle? Why must we always fall?
Ive pondered this thought time and time again and it always baffles my logic. We are naturally and innately sinful and stained. Our goal in life is to worhip God, praise him, and become more Christ-like every day of our lives. But to truly achieve those goals is not humanly possible, so then what is God's purpose in making us go through all this? What holds us back from succeeding in God's assigned commandments?
The flaw: us. For this whole time i have failed to notice that i tried to take my future and destiny into my own hands, thinking that i knew what the right decisions were. The key word in the statement above, was that the goals were not humanly possible. One of my major flaws, is my overwhelming pride. Although i tend to be good at hiding it, the thoughts that flood my mind are saturated with thoughts of pride, self glory, and self praise. This leads me to be a very judgemental and critical person. Leaving God out of the equation has really been screwing me over, so please dont make the same mistake that i have been making for a very very long time.
So then, i decided to pray to God and ask for his guidance and assistance. Before i talked to my bible study kids, i would pray. Before praise, Andrew would have the praise team pray. Before leaders meetings commenced, we would pray. etc. However, through all this prayer i noticed one thing. Whenever we pray to God, we take this third party approach such as, asking him to come into our worship service and letting his fire fall and presence fill the room. and thats how i prayed for a while. But i feel God spoke to me through praise times. If you are wondering why this is titled "You Are Here" here is the answer. There is a song we sing at church that goes like this:
The Same power that conquered the grave lives in me,
The Same power that rescued the Earth lives in me.
If you didnt know, that song is just a bridge of another song titled, You are here. if u ever have a chance, you should go youtube the song You are here - Hillsong London. it is truly breathtaking and amazing. It showed me that God is always with me. so why am i always asking him to come and fill us up? he resides in the hearts of each individual on this planet. That same power that allowed christians to utilize superhuman abilities, that defeated death, that created the universe, is in YOU. if you ever feel weak and worthless just know that in the palm of your hand, you have access to the boundless power of our GOD. He is here with us always and will never forsake us.
So relating to our struggles, no matter how hard it gets, dont ever think that God has abandoned you for a second. Dont ever let the devil decieve you into thinking that you have strayed too far. i dont know about you, but this was a huge encouragement to me when i talked it over with peter.
When youre facing obstacles that seem to high, before considering letting go, remember why you hung on for so long. . .When you stand up to your challenges, God wont meet you there. . . you are bringing the power of God with you.

Never the same. . .
Hey guys =]
everyones been blogging and i kinda needed an outlet to vent my thoughts. This has, by far, been the craziest, weirdest, randomest, and unpredictable of years. I signed up for leadership and praise team becuase i thought that it would help me get closer to God and allow me to somehow miraculously transform into a better person. but i was DEAD wrong. spiritually, i am currently having the hardest struggles of my life, and things arent looking very good for me. i guess stacking church work was not a very smart idea on top of junior year. Being in a serving position is shouldering a lot of responsibilities on me and many times it seems unbearable and i just want to quit. i somehow manage to smile everyday and laugh but sometimes it gets pretty hard. so sorry if i ever seem kinda emo =]. But beyond all that negative stuff, i have met a lot of new people that help me challenge my obstacles daily. if u do not know, i am a very introverted and antisocial individual. so for a very long time, i didnt have any friends. i can never say the first hello, and often times, people have to make the first gesture of friendliness to me. so logically, i shouldnt have any friends. but i do believe with all my heart, that one way God has gracefully blessed me ABUNDANTLY, is with all the people he brings into my life. whenever i think about it, its ridiculous how things worked out for me. many of the people i hang out with on a daily basis now, i have met only 3-4 months ago. This blog is dedicated to my family of WEST HIGH PBC'ers, who have rocked my world. and i will truly never be the same. . .
PBC [Petey BEAST Chiu]
Where were you this whole time?!? honestly, this guy is simply put, amazing. i first saw him wandering the halls of PBC with 6'1'' stature and monstrous muscles bulging out of his body. first impression: intimidating, i thought he was good looking and buff. i was sooo wrong! he's SEXY and BEASTLY. but this guy is a genius/buff,affable, funny, and a cutie. i know it seems kinda homo when we're together, but i love him to death. i could write about him forever with his cute ddr skillz, but i dont have time for a 10000 word essay so ill give you the gist. he's always there for me and down to do whatever. i can talk to him about anything and he understands and listens to my thoughts. i feel like ive known him for my whole life and i wouldnt give up our growing relationship for ANYTHING.
DYNAMIC DUO [David Cho]
so when i talked to people i knew, they said that i reminded them of this guy named david cho. so i was kinda curious of whom he was. and when i met him i was blown away. being anything similar to him would be the biggest compliment i would ever recieve. i feel like we hit it off right away. always playing ninja and bowling, coming up with a BOMB DIGGITY handshake, and just being around you. daivd is like a role model to me and i aspire to someday live up to his stature. when i was beginning to give up being a christian and throw in the towel, i thought that there was no way i could keep going. that it was too hard, and ultimately impossible. meeting chocho gave me the little push to keep me from falling. he's like a rekindled hope that helps me to strive harder in everything i do. he's alwasy smiling, laughing, getting along with everyone, and he's drop dead cute [not gonna lie ;)]
UB [Jchonto]
this guy is korean pop star status. big bang has nothing on him. but when i first met him, he joined our praise team by taking my spot as the lead guitarist. i admit to underestimating him at first and not respsecting him as much as i shouldve. but after time passed, i am indescribably grateful that i have come to befriend him. this guy is truly and UNCONTROLABLE BEAST in everything he does. from benching 190, to 100 push ups, to rocking out on the guitar, to having a crazy body, and a face to match. Ub is the kind of person to always be optimistic and never argue back. he takes all the hits but never throws one back and i respect him for that. no matter how hard the times get with family, school, church, and friends, UB is always steadfast and i always learn something from watching him and look up to him.
Suhn Bae [sarah park]
i dont even remember how i met her x]. but anywayz i am eternally thankful that i did. she always makes me smile at borders with her stretchy cheeks and when i alwyas see her trying to fight someone. hahaha. i know that i can be a jerk to you at times and i really am sorry. but yer a goood goood friend. its pretty cute when you try yelling at me in korean but i know you dont hate me. i hope. hahah. every praise time, when i glance your way and i see your genuine worship and heart for God, it lifts my spirits. dont ever lose your passion. and i know that we're not that close, but i hope we can work on it x].
GT [Gloria time]
simply put. she's weird. . . in a good way =]. i noticed that we went to PBC together like 8 years ago and we started talking this year. pretty pathetic.haha. your carefreeness and spontaneity always humors me. and GT is pretty interesting with you hahaha[elmo, cookies, milk, monkey, u weirdo]. but whenever im down you always cheer me up at borders. haha you make my days a little easier but you are still a little weird. but its ok. i gotta admit you can be manly and disgusting at times. but it makes you the more unique and amiable. sometimes i want to punch you in the face, but its all out of brotherly love =].
Charlie
i havent known you for too long but i gotta hand it to ya. youre pretty ugly. ahahh. jkjk. hanging out with you is pretty enjoyable and im glad that you started to come out to our friday nights. from treelot to yogurt island and texting me randomly during school. it may look like a joke to you. but your little acts of kindness encourage me a lot during depressing days and i hope that i can be that much of an encouragement back to you. i can talk to you about most things and youre a good listener so when hard times hit you hard, just know that i have your back.
FADOODLES/DEMOFLEZ
dang. justin yoo has got to be one of the funniest guys i have ever encountered in my life. now i just smile when i see you. haha. i know that you think me and peter are homo, but i know youre just jealous. so whenever you decide to join us, we'll be waiting. aahahah. i hope that we can chill a lot over winter and summer break and get to know each other better. just as long as you stop being so gassy we can work things out. haha jk. i love you for who you are.
Z Dawg
ive met him just recently, but ever since, he has been more than a friend to me. He is always smiling and looking to lift up others. He loves everyone and never puts down others or secludes them. On top of all that, he is probably the smartest and most down-to-earth person i have ever met. we have yet to go on our 6th period lunch date but im lookin forward to it ;]
sorry for all those that i have yet to mention. but its midnight and i gotta get up for zero period T.T
i know that these blogs all look like cute little encouragement notes. but i sincerely back the words that i have expressed in the articles above. i know that i forget to daily remind you guys how much you mean to me so i just wanted you to know =]. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
