jerkfaces

i'm sorry nevin, because i know that one of the guys upstairs is your friend. but...things have been getting worse. :(

after living under these guys for the whole of second term (4months) i have come to a conclusion:

the guys upstairs are the biggest jerks. especially the one above my room.

who plays their music so loud that the bass shakes the floor of the apartment downstairs? they do!
who plays their music so loud that you can hear not only the bass, but everything else in the song too? they do!
who plays their music so loud at like 6 30am in the morning? they do! (no joke with the 6 30am. and this is during exam period.)
who plays their music even louder when the people downstairs try to get them to turn it down? they do!

the sad thing is that nothing in this list has been exaggerated. nothing. there's no doubt in my mind that their hearing is going to falter earlier than it would have without the loud music. it's ridiculously loud.

we have tried being nice. we have tried going upstairs and talking with them. we have tried to tell them to turn it down, we have tried everything. but in the end, jerks will always be jerks. and they are jerks. of the biggest kind. and i really dislike them. as for the guy above my room? oh, he's in a category all his own. the thing i'm looking forward to now (on top of finishing my exams) is them moving out.

okay, so maybe some of them are nicer than the others. if that's the case, this blog has nothing to do with them...

anyway, i'm off the library to studyy. for those still in exams, keep on truckin'! it's almost finished! :)

and it all comes down to now

ahhhh.....exams. *biting nails* good luck everyone! :) study hard.

it's time to hit them books. see ya.

p.s. i can't remember how i got through high school having to stay in school until june....

i have a dream.

i have a dream...
       ...a dream that ALL Christian fellowships in Laurier will be united...

i went to Church in the Concourse on sunday, and it hit me. LCCF is pretty segregated from the rest of the Christian community here at laurier. Church in the Concourse had speakers from the different fellowships on campus go up and share with everyone what was going on for the whole year. LCF (Laurier Christian Fellowship), LMCF (Laurier Music Christian Fellowship), LCM (Lutheran Christian Ministries) were the groups that shared. and i guess through the whole thing, God opened my eyes to see how He was working not only in LCCF but in the other Christian groups as well. it felt great to be surrounded by other Christians and singing praises to God right there in the concourse. and even though i didn't know the majority of the people there (i knew like...3) i still knew that we were all family - all connected though our Heavenly Father.

oddly enough, the theme of the night was family reunion. how appropriate.

at urbana they had all the leaders of the different Christian organizations come together to pray for each other. how awesome would it be if the leaders of the christian groups at laurier got together and did the same thing?

anyway, so as i was sitting there God placed a burden on my heart for unity. not only within LCCF but within the Christian groups across the Laurier campus. God has been doing such great things in LCCF and has blessed our fellowship so much. in the same way, He has also been working in the other fellowships as well. imagine, how much more effective we could be on our campus if we all worked together...

imagine the mark we could make in Laurier. just imagine.

i have a dream. only i can't really take all the credit for it...
       "Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done".

unite Your labourers, God.

may this be just the beginning...

man i am so full. hahaha. :P

question of the day:

should i go to the last choir rehearsal or not?

it's optional.
but there is free food.
it's rainy and yucky outside. and cold.
but there IS free food.

oh goodness. this is a toughie. :P

Father, what this world needs is YOU.

this world just keeps on getting worse and worse everyday.

so i was reading thestar.com today trying to get updates on the whole Cecilia Zhang story...and this was the headline:

Parents tormented by extortion hoax
Man told lawyer in February that kidnappers had Cecilia
Photo of daughter digitally altered to give parents false hope

i'm in a state of unbelief right now - how could anyone do such a thing? and fake everything? giving the Zhangs false hope. i'm so disgusted beyond belief right now.

i don't know who did it...but...what the crap were you thinking?!?!?!? you think it was funny? was this whole case a joke to you? i hope that you're feeling bad right now. real bad. and if you're not, then you're more heartless than i originally thought.

don't even get me started on the kidnappers/murderers...

some days this world makes me wanna scream. today is one of those days.

acquaintances vs. friends

i've learned a lot during my time here in waterloo...more about myself, more about others, and more about how others and myself relate to each other. i've gotten more of a clearer picture of who my acquaintances are, and who my friends are. to me, being friends with someone is more than just labelling them as a "friend", so for me it takes a lot for me to call someone a friend - which is probably a protective thing i've picked up over the years. sometime's it's a little sad to think of the friendships which have slowly turned into "aquaintanceships" but it's also been great meeting new people and having "friends" turn into friends. and then there are the others which are in a category of their own (ie. "good friends") - those who have continued to be a source of constant encouragement and support to me amongst other things.

to the good friends - *nothing in my head seems good enough to say...*
to the friends - thank you for your friendship. it means more than you know. :)
to the aquaintances - i hope that God will bless your friendships like He has blessed mine.

i guess God brings people in and out of your life for a reason. it's tough at times, but slowly i'm learning to let go and embrace and be thankful for what God has given me in the present. :)

as for the term "best friend", it's reserved for only Jesus. ;)

*shivers*

brrr. it's cold here...very cold.

has anyone seen rinny?

*i don't know if u still read this but i thought that it was worth a try...?*

if you're reading this, your name is erin lau and you went to peoples with me, know that i miss you and our conversations. where are you? it's been too long rinny. :( talk to me...msg me, k? :)

gotta give it up to Him.

so, i looked in the mail and i finally got my letter from WLU. before i opened the envelope i said a quick prayer giving it up to God, preparing myself for what i might find inside...turns out...

i got into the music therapy program. :)

thanks for all your prayers.

all glory, honour and praise be to the One who deserves it all - God. thank You Father.
