God provides!

The more I think about it, this weekend (Sat-Wed), God provided for me so much!

Background information:
My parents and brothers were out of town (on sat) and all the cars were gone with them.
My plans were to spend sun-wed in london.
I realized my WALLET was in the bmw...which my mom took.
I borrowed $100 from a friend on Saturday to survive from Sat-Wed (and i eat a lot btw)...this included money for food AND transportation
I bought a new 5lbs of protein the day before and it was with me :)

Saturday
His grandma buys us lunch
Dinner - potluck for men's cell (only bought 2 pineapples and deo using the money)

Sunday
Breakfast - 2 scoops of protein LOL
Get driven down to london.. my friend wanted $20 for the one way transportation.. but yeah whatever
Lunch - 1 scoop of protein LOL
Dinner - After cheer practice we had a pool party! and the host decided to make us all burgers and hot dogs! so free BBQ for dinner

Monday
Breakfast - 1 scoop of protein
Lunch - (I go to loblaws to buy apples, peanut butter and croissants) so it was like 2 scoops of protein, 2 apples with peanut butter and 2 croissants
Dinner - my friend's mom cooks me dinner! (God really provides)
Night snack - Crepes with my friend!  She decides to make crepes and we made them together then went over to my friend who treated me for dinner's place and she also provided some fruit for the crepes! SO GOOD!

Tuesday
Breakfast - 2 scoops of protein and 1 croissant and 1 apple
Lunch - 2 scoops of protein and 2 croissants and 2 apples
Dinner - POTLUCK and i just brought the remainder of my apples and peanut butter and it was so good! There was pork steaks, bok choy, meat stuff, rice, meat balls and my apples and peanut butter! lol and at the end, we ate crepes again for dessert!

Wednesday
Breakfast - 2 scoops of protein and 2 apples
Then i had to pay for greyhound which was like. $30 so yeah
Lunch - I"M IN TORONTO!

Honestly, EVERY dinner was free or very cheap... and all I can say is that God truly provided for me because i sort of knew sat that $100 wasn't enough for me to surivive!! LOL I thank God so much for my friends for being so hospitable and kind to me this weekend!!

Smile!

LONGGG but fun Saturday

So this past saturday was superr intense! LOL My day was like wayy more fun than i expected it!  Both my parents, and bro were out! Bro was in montreal and my parents were in sudbury and they took all the cars cos my parents needed to leave sudbury at diff times... So i was left home alone with zero cars lOL anyways.. my only plan that day was to go to my friends place and do some workout and do paintballing which was.. actually pretty good! :)

11am

So My friend picks me up and we go over to his place and we do swimming WOD! AHAH so here is the Rx'd version we made up

Swim 10 laps
50 pushups
Swim 10 laps
50 sit-ups
Swim 10 laps
100 Squats
Swim 10 laps

LOL I scaled it by making the 2 middle swims only 5 laps LOl because i'm so bad at swimming! but it was actually REALLY fun!! and it felt good! cos like.. whne u start to sweat, u swim! :) lol

okay so that was in the morning

2pm

My other friend picked me up from my friend's place and then we went paintballing cos he had a groupon!!! so it only costed 7.50! haah so it was cheappp!! :)
Paint balling was fun! but yeah.. i dont like how the masks smell nasty and i'm always sweating and everything is just slimy and nasty LOLOL i think we did taht for like 2 hours... and then we went to his house and i'm like.. I need to kill more time so he's like.. okay! lets either workout or go mountain biking LOl and I'm like .. MOUNTAIN BIKING! lol cos i've never done it before

4:30 pm

We go mountain biking and i thought i was GOING TO DIE!!!! my feet kept on getting stuck on random roots or rocks.. i actually fell off my bike multiple times and yeah! LOL there were like.. so many logs that were splintered and pointing towards u when ur biking downhill! LOL i actually felt like if i fell off and hit one of those things, it would plunge into my body and i'd totally die! LOLOL

Also, there was this one area where it was grassy and there were potholes so we had to walk our bikes and there were a MILLION mosquitoes.. actually... and i would breathe in.. and like.. 2 mosquitoes would follow.. so i had to breath carefully cos it was nasty! LOLOL i actually fell cos i tried biking in that area and when i got up, I was like.. sort of covered with mosquitoes!!!

Anyways, i'm in a lot better shape than i thought i would be! All iw as thinking aobut was west nile! and how i might die! LOL Oh yeah! btw, I WAS SHIRTLESS the entire time! :) haha but yeah! i think the fact taht i sweat sooo much, it sort of almost made a protective layer on my skin so that i got less bites than i could ahve! LOL so yeah! i'm glad i sweat like crazy! LOL

so after taht, I was like.. shoot i need to kill more time but my friend had to go.. so i called up another friend and he's like.. yo.. there's men's cell today! and i'm like.. OH YEAH! lol can u give me a ride? lol and he's like yeppp! so i'm like yay! :D

6 pm

I go to his house and he drives me over!! at this time, i smelled nasty and was totally sweaty! LOL so when we got to my other friends house for mens cell, i asked my friend to hose me down LOL so i was shirtless for the rest of the night! lol oh yeah! i also bought deodorant! so i wouldn't smell so bad! and i think it was effective!! I bought pineapple for the potluck! and yeah!! potluck was soooo good! it was like a pro BBQ so i was really happy! :) and i got FULL!  then we had time to share and pray for each other! I really enjoyed that! i found it very edifying and great just to bond with the's brothers in Christ!

10:30pm

I get a text from my friend from the morning and he's like.. yooo wanna watch batman? and i'm like SURREE so yeah

11:15pm

3 am

I'm at my friends house and do a sleepover! tried to sleep, but for some reason, iwasn't tired.. but i was SUPER tired at 11pm! i rmb!! but yeah! hahaaa

Hey people! i know i don't have a lot of followers, but i wanna ask you this question! i just thought of it for some reason! ... it's not something i'm actually thinking about, but it popped into my head! cos i haven't thought about it in in SO LONG!

How do you know when you truly love someone?  I guess in contrast to lust?

I just wanna know what u ppl think! if I get 7 diff comments for 7 diff people I'll make a post on what I think! (but that never happens.. i think the most comments i've ever gotten was like.. 3) LOL

btw.. they need to ANSWER the question.. it cant be 7 comments of like.. "hi! :)" or w/e !LOLOL In my answer, i'll also respond to your comments whether i agree or not and stuff!

Kay! :)

BYE!!

Jireh!

Why i workout (not profound)

LOl so i woke up this mornign and i felt fat! so i felt my belly and i'm like.. dannggg so fat! LOL and i looked at it.. and i noticed it getting bigger! LOOL so i'm like.. okay i neeed to control my diet now.... my "dieting" will be eating clean food! so like.. maybe instant noodles sometimes.. LOL but in general, just like.. fruit, veggies, meat, eggs, bread, pasta and w/e.. but in like good quantities! LOL like.. i should stop eating ALL the time and whatever i please! LOL

Oh wait.. actually i sort of came up with a new plan.. scrap everything i said.. i guess i said all that earlier cos i wanted to tell u what i ate for breakfast LOL and that was the following: 1 tomato, 1 avocado, 1 orange, 1banana and beef LOLOL it was surprisingly filling enough and it tasted good! haah but yeah

Anyways, now i think i need to workout more!!!! WORKOUT MORE TO EAT MORE!!! :D hahaaha but then, at the same time, eat clean! i'm keeping that part!!! LOL when i was writing the first paragraph, i was like.. yeah i wanna eat clean.. then for some reason i wrote "but in like good quantities" and then i'm like... "NOOOOO!!" LOL i dont actually wanna restrict my eating!!! i like eating a lot of food!! and honestly, that's why i sort of started working out in the first place! (or continued to work out) I started cos i wanted to get strong enough for the cheer team believe it or not LOL lame reason but w/e! now i love it and a pretty big motivation right now for me to work out is the fact that i can eat a lot of pretty much w/e and not get too fat! LOL There are some things, that i would just avoid cos my belly doesn't like it... like....2 mama burgers and a large fries LOL had that last week and my stomach felt sooo nasty.... i felt like i ate ball of grease...and it was like.. stuck in my gut! anyways, some junk food just isn't that appealing to me cos of that feeling.. but i'm not going to lie... i do splurge at McDonalds sometimes and get like.. 2 mcdoubles and 2 jr chickens witha large drink and fries LOL it's just tasty but i do regret it afterwards LOLOL

I was driving my mom to work today and realized how fail my life is!  although I'm SUPPOSED to be studying and working hard,  i'm not...and it's bad! past 2 days i've been waking up at like.. 11am LOL soooo late!! starting today i'm going to sleep at 12am and wake up at 7:30am. and do a morning jog!

I'm actually so serious about this. even though i know tmr i'll wake up at 7:30 and really not wanna do this!! if ur a friend of mine and u read this post, try to keep me accountable and txt me (only if ur up that early normally) Honestly, it will help a lot.. IF NOT, its okay!! i have SOME motivation in me i think!!
THEN, i'll do like.. Julie Foucher stuff. Come home, shower, eat breakfast, study for 3 hours, eat lunch, study for 3 hours then do whatever for the rest of the day including crossfit at 8pm!!  I think this way, my days will feel more.. full... Recently, they've been feeling pretty empty.... talking about that, maybe I should try starting my mornings with God! I tried it before and failed, but i wanna try it again.. so maybe, i'll wake up... read my daily verse, try memorize it, Run and think about it, come back and read a chapter of whatever book i'm trying to go throough! atm, i'm going through Hebrews.. and i'm not going to lie.. its not as straight forward as i thought it was gonna be! LOL i might redo it after i'm done LOLOL!

Anyways, sorry for the long post, just random thoughts kept flowing so i kept writing! okay bye now!

Smile! :D

Ice Creme and Granola Barres

Sometimes, when u see someone, they look sooooo happy all the time and fun! but when u are with them...you don't feel happy... or as happy as you thought! and being with them isn't as fun as u'd imagine...

Sometimes, when u see someone, they look sort of miserable and depressing! LOL but when u are with them, they make u happy and it's fun... and for some odd reason, you like being with them!

LOL

Anchored 2012

“We who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” Hebrews 6:18-19.






That was the theme of our grade formal we had yesterday! :)  I cannot explain how blessed I feel to have a group of people I know I can count on anytime.  I'd consider every single person here at least a very good friend! (range is from very good friend to best friend) And...just the fact that we've been together for so long and have seen each other grow so much especially in the past 4 years!


So, this was our first formal ever (and younger grades will copy...LOL)!  But the formal was with people from my grade at church!  I guess it all started back when we started our first grade event and then just kept on meeting up together...and eventually...bonded I guess! haha!  I think every year we will be doing these events so that by the time I'm 90, I'll have 70 of these group photos on my wall! HAHA!  I don't know...but I know this sounds weird, but i hope we grow old together!! HAHA like actually! and I hope our kids become awesome friends and can share the same kind of friendship we share now (or even better)!


Let me explain what happened...
A couple months ago, these to girls, Zoro and Candy (and probably other girls), were complaining that they would never be able to wear their prom dresses ever again!! So, BOOM, we decided to make a formal event.  Initially, it was called "Revisiting Prom" but, we thought it sounded too dumb so we called it "Anchored" with a nautical theme to it!  And honestly, everything turned out so good!!! i really liked it! 


OH YEAH there were rules (mainly 2):
1. MUST wear prom gear or w/e can still fit LOL
2. No dates (so it's not awks)
And it turned out to be really fun! :D


Here was what we did:
Took pictures
Worshipped together
Ate :D
Took more pictures (most pictures were taken here)
Chatted
Worshipped a bit more 
Shared and wrote encouragements to each other (which lasted a LONG time)
Chatted and discussed intense topics

And that's it! 

Smile! hope u enjoyed!!

Jireh!

Happy together!

So I heard this song the radio a couple days ago and i woke up hearing it in my head so i wanted to blog about it!!!  I actually like the lyrics!!! its so cutee!!! and this is like a song i want to say to my dream girl!!  When I am with you, I want to be happy!! and i want us to be happy together!! like yeah, i'm already usually happy, but when i'm with you, i'll be happier? LOL *sigh* It's sort of one of those qualities i really look for when I date a girl.  If i find myself becoming more miserable when i'm with her (in general), then iunno if it'd be able to work out!  YEAH, there wil be times when i'm miserable because of disagreements and etc.... but I want the overal net relationship to be happy! and I want us BOTH to be happy.  If I'm making u more miserable, then i dont think it can work out either! :) SURE, i know this sort of sounds like a super surface quality, but I find it important! When I hear the lyrics "I cant see me loving nobody but you, for all my life" I truly thought about you DG! And that is what I want! haha

Anyways, i feel like i got sick randomly! sort of sucks, but i feel like i should be albe to recover soon! LOL

SMILE!

Jireh!

So i'm sore

So I woke up today super sore! LOL
Saturday i did that competition thing! and that sort of killed my body to be honest!! cos it was 3-4 workouts in one day.. in a fairly short span of time!.. I feel like MOST ppl would take the next day to recover? or something? lol NOT ME!!!!

Well, i wanted to rest, but yesterday, I had cheer practice! LOL so i woke up in the morning to go.. and boyyyy was my body stifff and just sore everywhere!! I was literally drinking BCAAs all day... and one thing i found out, is that the side effect to drinking too much BCAAs is that you get a lot of gas! LOL i farted a lot i think! LOL
Anyways, this is what my cheer practice consisted of (it was 3 hours btw)
1 hour of stunting (aka throwing a girl into ur hands and push pressing her above ur head and doing that kind of stuff and holding it)
after taht, we did this circle thing where we have to do stunts again and if u miss/drop or w/e, u have to do 5 clapping pushups or 3 back tucks.  I ended up doing 20 clapping pushups i believe
then we did basket tosses for a bit
Standing tumbling.. so all i did was back tucks mayb around 5-10 of them
then we worked on pyramids where i was a base for a 2-1-1 and that sucks LOL and i based other things, but i just didn't liek the 2-1-1 pyramid LOL
We also did corporate standing tucks.. it hink we did 5 together?
and yeah! that was the end of the cheer portion of our practice (3 hours long) and honestly, my muscles were soo burnt out from the day before that it wasn't even funny anymore LOL

Oh yeah!! forgot to say.. there was this one pyramid where i base its called 3-2-1 and there are 2 girls standing on my shoulders.. most ppl hate it cos their feet are like grinding into ur shoulders...which they were doing to me yesterday but i LOVED IT!! my shoulders were sooo sore for the workouts and stunting, that it was like a tough massage and it really helped me feel better!! HAAH my teammates thought i was retarded LOL but yeah HAHA i liked it!

So then, its like.. 31 degrees celsius outside and we gotta do hill runs.. :( yesterday we ended up doing 36 ups... i'll list it for you below
1 forward sprint
2 jumping split lunges SIDEWAYS up the hil
3 small hop, small hop, small hop, BIG hop, squat...etc.. up the hil
4 hops up the hill (2 forward  2 backwards)
5 quick feet things.. (short quick steps and every 3rd step you bring ur knee high)
6 karaokes (like some sideways movemnt where ur feet criss cross and u bring ur knee high when its in front)
7 backward sprints
8 forward sprints (last 3 were randomly extended so it sucked)

and after all that, we had to push our coaches truck up the hill... he put it on neutral and we had to push...it was harder than i thought it was gonna be!

so yeah i thought iw as gonna die cos my body was so screwed! LOL but i'm glad i'm still alive.. today was mostly a rest day for me.. i might go to the gym today and do a few light things.. but def no cardio and no super heavy weights!!!

Smile!!
