End of 21. Beginning of 22.

So in the end, as I am sitting here on my brand new laptop, I am reflecting on what happened today.

All in all, my birthday came and went. And to be honest, it was nice. But at the moment, it just felt like a day to an extent, because I didn't have a real intention to do anything special. But please don't get me wrong. I enjoyed today, even when I was hungry, I was glad I was alive.

I enjoyed the food, and all of the messages that I received. I also know that I am not fussed if people don't acknowledge my birthday cos they forgot or something. Those who do did; those who didnt, they didn't. I am not angry, I am just.. well that is just the way it is.

However, i got some good gifts, especially from my Booboo :) I enjoyed what I got, and what I will get (when married ;) )

But for now, I am watching a Revelation Seminar. And just reflecting on what it says, as well as what I plan on doing for this next year. :)

Have a good night all :)

I am happy today

In more ways than one.
Main one is, my Boo is hitting weights at the gym :) and you know what?
for some random reason i keep getting this really silly grin on my face sorta like this:

and that is simply because I am like: "She is hot already; now she done and going to get toner and due to that even MORE hotter!" (Quick note: my brain doesn't care about the grammar. ^.^) So yes, good stuff and one day we can be like this:

'Cept Black :p

But yea that is the main reason for writing this post today :D Unexceptionally happy for her :D 

ALSO:

My birthday soon ^.^

That's me done for today :) 

Deadlines coming up like mad.. Things going left right and center... Sounds like end of term and all of that stuff...

So.. Deadlines coming left and right. One on Monday and one on Friday. And also setting time between them for other things I have to do, like my fun stuff.

Where has time gone?

Well, to be honest, nowhere. I just need to manage it better, as I know I am not the best at managing my time, but I will be learning how to do it so that I will be to use it better.

Aside from the work, on the Spiritual side, I know that I am growing. But I know that I need to be more engaging in praying and less of self.

I can't wait to have the break from Uni. I will make a timetable and such, and I will, by God's grace follow it. But I just a pause for a second. One more week to go though. Just one more. 

Things go so fast that before I realise, its another week already. Imagine that.

The Japanese society is going ok. Not fretting over number of people showing up, but that is ok. I don't need to. Just need to do my best and that is that. Next week, we are going to Thai 9 for a end of term social.

Japanese test soon. I am ready for it. Always need to pray and study and not be cocky that I know it all. Humility is a key trait that I need to cultivate, among others.

Also Boo is coming for Friday and Saturday; it will be nice to have her round :) I honestly know that I want to be married sooner rather than later. But hey hey; still got time yet :)

Because of all this work for the PID, haven't been able to go to the gym; so next week, I am going. That is that. I need to take care of me.

That's it for now. :)

Small post, yet big on its implications

Small little post here; coursework is looming over me, yet I am about to crack on with some more right now and through this week!

God, help me please! :D

Also reading up on health principles and new recipes, and I have to say; changes come, and it isn't always easy. However, I know that God will help me ease into the new principles I will learn and help put them into practice; He has done it with this to begin with so, I know i will get help.


Also, I just wanted to say I have the most amazing Girlfriend in the world. Point Blank.


:)

It seems like forever since I wrote!

It certainly does!
I just got home from the Japanese Society; only few were able to make it, but it was good nonetheless. We got to speak Japanese in a conversational manner, so that helped me a lot :D Also I got to do Gangnam Style as well which was funny :P

However, this post is also about whats been up since I last wrote.

And its basically been pure madness in terms of work! Second year is getting harder! I usually feel like this afterwards.




However, there are good moments; I get to know God better, and I get to share what He is like with people everyday. I try to :) Also I get to spend time with Boo :) (always a bonus!)

So now, gotta pack for hers tomorrow and also get some sleep :)

After devotion that is :)

Quick Update on goals set ages ago:
-Need to revamp them. That is all :P

Many things pressing down

First things first: Happy 10 months to my Booboo :) It has been and is going amazingly well :) And I am glad that I have someone on that level with me through good and bad times. 

Over the past 2 weeks, its been about applying to Placements; Been rejected at one, and applying for others. At the same time, its also about keeping atop of the work that has to been done for this term. Which kinda is the subject for the blog. Its a lot. Not even joking around, it kinda makes me want to hide in a corner a lot. However, I have things to do and time to do them in. But I have also learned this one thing:

If I needed Jesus then, I so need Him more now!

I say that because, through all of this stuff happening, its a lot and I am seeing cracks where I thought I would be ok. I have realized I am very weak in moral character, and that where there is a need, there is also a call to prayer. So prayer has taken a new form in my life recently.

On another note, the new lifestyle isn't too bad. I have things to make but sometimes i run out of ideas. That's where Google comes in and other things as such. 

Working out is also going well. Not too sore today, but will work harder tomorrow. So i know where I need to be. 

As for Guitar, unfortunately, I haven't played in nearly a month. and that for me is :'( I just feel so busy and pressed to do so much that I can't always do what I want to do sometimes because of other uni work or something that needs to be done. So that is why my Number 1 prayer request is improvement of time management! Employers want it, I need it. \

So all in all, been meaning to write; just haven't had the thought to do it sometimes. 

But what I do know is simply this:

God wont leave me struggling, but will help me when I ask Him to. Therefore, I'm always asking and thanking for the help given. 

What a Day it was!! So busy!!

What a day today was!! I did so much! but first from the top!
Woke up late because I was feeling like this:

I was that gone...

Anyway eventually I did get up and had devotion with Boo. 

Then i went off to my lecture, which wasnt too bad, but the main part was the placement fair!

I came prepared from yesterday with questions in my notepad, and sections for each company! 

All of them were impressed at the effort I made :) 

Then straight to Japanese! :D 

And it was so fun! It was a bit hard because i forgot some words, but once i got back into it, it started coming back! :D Also i got this:

Me and my teammate got this :) 

Overall, it was a good day! :D

Week 2 and over the weekend..

So at this very moment, I'm just reading up about SQL (Structured Query Language), basically its for a practical that I have on Thursday. And even though, it will be taken through instruction wise then, I like to get head starts on things :)
So over the weekend, I got to finally see my Boo who I haven't in what feels like a eon an a half (or 10 days but it felt LONG). And when I did see her, I was at first like:

Walking fast so a bit sweaty 

However, I regained myself and was then in hug mode :D 

Also on the friday night, Boo brought me new clothes for church, which I wore :D

Sabbath itself was good; we was early, which was good, since usually we get there just before ten, but that time we got there just after 9:30! :) We didn't go in the afternoon, but instead, we fell asleep (didn't mean to, but we ate lunch and got the itis- the veggie itis lol). 

On Sunday,we made cookies :D

vegan cookies: peanut butter, maple syrup (my 2), and almond, and strawberry (boo's 2)

:) That's about it for now :D

3..2..1.. Liftoff!! and Intense Cardio!

So what a day today was!!

First off, I had to pray to get the covers off me (i suffer from not getting out of bed on time itis) and i got out of bed! Had devotion with Boo (I love her so much xD) then walked what seemed like a journey to the Databases lecture. Just for illustration purposes:

this but with more trees, and not so straight :P

After that, had the Cybernetics challenge, and this is where it gets interesting; i have to build with 4 others, a space robot that can do tasks of all sorts! 

Like this, but slightly downgraded :P

it will be tough, but enjoyable! After all, I dedicated this whole uni year to God, so nothing will be too hard for me! :) 

Now after that, there was the gym induction and much later on, the cardio.

My days! It was so intense!

Afterwards, i felt like this:

So now, shower time then devotion with Boo, and then dreamland:

Yes my dreamland looks epic :P Something like that :L

1st day back!! Hoorah! :D

So the first day back was amazing :D Even though i overslept a bit :P
Spoke to Furukawa sensei in a little bit of japanese, and it was good :)
My only lecture being Neuroscience was very good :)
Signed up to the gym, and the box fit was good, but man i was sweating like mad :P Shoulders are tense, but its good stuff :)

Now going to chill and then hit devotion with Boo :)

good stuff first day.. good stuff :)

What a week it has been! :D

To be honest, this post is gonna be a quick one, yet a concentrated POW one :D

So Sunday, Came back from Stevenage and went to Boo's house, and we had our last meat meal made by my mom of oxtail and rice. It was nice :) Then went to mine, where Boo was kinda nervous about her job interview, but she eventually calmed down :) :)

Monday: I went off to the Unity meeting, which was really good :) We got a bit done on the planning side :) Also Boo went for her job, and she got it!! :D We were both so happy :D i was like
WOO :D cos it means we are one step closer to our goal :) Also went to sort stuff out for fresher's fair :)

Tuesday: Went and sorted out stuff for Fresher's fair; seeing as it was only me and Tanya, it was a bit :S Kinda felt like letting the society go cos there was only 2 of us, but we will persevere :) God is that good :) Plus it can go on my CV :)

Wednesday: Freshers Fair was like this, just in a tent:

We did the best we could, so now its time for planning :)

Thursday: Ordered internet adaptor, as mine keeps going out recently. Also had to powerwalk like mad to a presentation I gave, got a applaud, then went and helped as a mentor later in the day :) and also got paid for helping out the School before the mentoring :) another thing on the CV and for RED award :)

Friday: Went to Aldi, which is 10 mins away, and is a vegetarian's paradise! Also got stuff ready for Sabbath, and got Project Gotham Racing 2 cleaned for free :D And now going to go to Pulse, and I made dinner for tomorrow :D

Uni Starts soon! And also I will join the gym from Monday :D

9 Months and more!

SOOOO Today is the start of 2nd year in Uni :D
Today was simply awesome! and I will explain in detail why :)

9 months today with Boo :) and more good news to come- she had her interview today, and she was so scared and stuff, and God just rolled His arms up and gave her the job :D So we celebrated :D and also today is day 1 of us being vegan as well- sometimes i wonder who would of thought it :D

Also today, Unity is now officially getting started :D The team met up and we are coming up with a game now- escape type game and just thinking of ideas now and stuff :D atm, as i am writing, I am going through a tutorial to learn how to make a 3d game :)

Also i did my japanese placement test, and man it was a bit frustrating because I know a lot but i don't spend time writing! So whatever happens, i will roll with it :)

so today was good, and now im having as a very short dinner, of cashew nuts and about to order food shopping :)

Good day with Boo and awesome day with God =]

Thought about a lot before writing this..

Over the past couple of days, it has been pretty chill and not doing much sort of mood. Except for using my touch and phone for internet. Now that the internet is in my room once again (came today! woo), I can use it for the remainder of my stay in Stevenage.


Another thing that came across my mind is how I treat people; it is getting better, but I know I can improve and be better. I just saw one of my friends blog after not being in the blogging scene for a long time, and I am glad she is again :) I just hope she enjoys uni and clings to God, even though she has rough patches she goes through.

That's another thing I thought about. Over the month of September, Boo and I have been reading devotionals on suffering and pretty much everything about it. And its a lot of stuff, and gets put into practice pretty much now and then, or if we can encourage others. Although at the present time, my life isn't too hard right now, I know sorrow comes and goes. But in faith, I will make sure I cling to Jesus, because without Him, I know I don't have a snowball's chance in getting anything done spiritually.

So to all reading this, if you are going through anything, ask God to help you cling to Him. If you aren't religious, what harm can it do if you ask God for help and to get to know Him?

There are many things in my mind right now, as i am writing; the clouds look nice, even though it is starting to get colder; I can't wait to sign up to the gym; I miss Boo and I can't wait to see her on Sunday :)

Sometimes, I have to realize in order to appreciate what I have, I kind of have to see what people don't have , for example I have an amazing girlfriend who understands me and wants to be with me, even when I am not 100% like Jesus. Some people don't have that kind of relationship, even if they have someone. So i am grateful for what God has allowed me to have, and I make sure everyday that I don't take her, or anything that I have been given for granted.

Another thing however that I noticed, is that I am very absorbed in what I do; I don't usually get into other people's lives that much, and my mom brought that to my attention the other night. And I now realize that it isn't a good thing. I can't be in everyone's lives at the same moment, but it is good to keep regular contact with people, even family.

Another thing that came across to me is that I am going to become vegetarian for 3 months with Boo; but it is funny; i remember saying to my Nan years ago, that i wouldn't mind going in that direction, but i just didn't have the motive and drive for it. And she said that the same way i went off pork, is the same way i will go off meat( she is vegan, but will never force it down your throat kind) and that God will do that when He sees best. So now, I have that motive and drive missing all those years ago; and God gave me a partner, Boo, to do it with :) So honestly, i can't wait to see and feel the changes. :) It isn't a salvation issue, but I know it will help me much more than the diet I have now.

I also have been reading the old posts I have on here over the past couple of weeks, and I can see the changes that I have made; and also on this computer, as well. I have gone from being obsessed about boobs (yea Joy, it is hard being so open on this for sure), to know being single-minded about women as a whole. It took a lot of time and God made sure of this, and it's still a work in progress, but my attention is redirected now towards long term goals, not instant ones.

And one last thing; now this is the hardest part for me in a sense but I am glad and i can say thank You only to God for this; it has been over a year since I looked at porn and did associated stuff with it ( you can see i'm not so open as to even mention the m word but either way). I realized that the reason I had such obsessions and stuff was simply because of that. it will take time for it to go completely (it was a habit for over 8 years), so I know it won't go just like that. BUT God will greater than my old sins and habits, so I know finally I can say AMEN! :D And I say that because there were times, and many times, when i pleased myself and wanted to stop but was just locked into it hard. And the one thing I can say to those who struggle guy or girl, wanting to stop, is to get on your knees or whatever position you do to pray to God and plead and ask Him wholeheartedly to eradicate this habit from the life. It is truly soul-destroying and mind-numbing, and I don't want to go back to it EVER. I rather wait to get married to Naomi, and have all the sex we want then to cheat on her and God before her. So the wait is worth it; and I know God will set people free from doing it, if they ask Him and abstain from it, because He did it for me.

That's all for now :)

Im home again :D

So now im back in Stevenage (til sunday anyway) and its nice being back for a bit. :D Mom was like  when she saw me :D and she made dinner (me love mi mom's food:))


However, updates on whats been happening this weekend :D On the way to Boo's house,which i ended up being late for so went to practice at church. Got on the train, and didnt even realize that the train went straight to London and didnt stop in Slough at all! I was like... "Really?!" However, because I thought it was and after praying about it and telling the man at the barrier, he let me through, and the train was about to leave :D


God is too good to me :)

So the choir practice was good, but i was also glad to get to her house to sleep. :]

Music day itself was good; long (very long day) but nevertheless good :)
Got to play with other guitarists, and even though I didnt get to do my own stuff, i played all day so it wasnt too bad for me =]

Got to meet her Mom for the first time, and it was nice =] shes very nice :)

Then after everything was over, went back to hers, and slept hard =]

Then today was a case of just devotion, then listening to the audio bible, and we both fell asleep :p then waking up and listening to some more then i left and came to Stevenage =]

Another thing that i was going to say was that i left my charger at my house in Reading; however, God came through for me because my mom found one i could use for my phone :D

Also mom spoke about things i can get for my birthday (useful things i need)
Looking forward to this week :)

All in all, God is good.

Period
:)

No structure to this, just writing...

Just finished having my devotion, which was on faith being tested. All along this month, it has been along that theme. And I have learned by reading, and also by experience what that means. But aside from that, I was just planning on writing for the past couple of days, but never got around to it.

So just a recap of what I've been up to:

Spent from Friday to Wednesday at Boo's house, and it was really nice, but it felt so weird coming back here seeing as i was there for so long; i even forgot how to turn the hot tap in my kitchen(it has no indicators saying which is which)! That is truly sad :P However, there were trials when I was there, and I learned, as I said above, that i gleaned lessons from.

Music day is this coming Sabbath, so that will be interesting, as well as on the Sunday I am off to Stevenage. Looking forward to seeing people, including Louis, so that we can have bible study and just in general to see my mom and things.

I also realized that I am rusty when it comes to my Japanese; i havent given it the time i should have done, so i am struggled where i probably shouldnt be. And so because of that, i need to study it today. Also, I just slightly lazy today, but I know that i need to make sure i do not waste time(thats a serious flaw in my character).

Also for Unity, it has been going ok. But i know it will get harder to do, and to be honest, as i was looking at it last night, i nearly didnt want to do it. But at that time, it was late, and everything felt like a mountain when it probably wasnt.

So today for improvements! :D

I get to control the speed... of a box!! :D

So from the last Unity post, I've learned quite a lot :D
Most of it was programming knowledge I had already, but with new keywords. So at the moment, I am scripting a box to move and controlling it's speeds by watching the console and adjusting it :p so i can make it zoom or trudge along or (the nerd part of me came out!) make it go in slow motion :D

hehhehe. more to come as I tear it up :P

Updates on a lot of things :)

So its been a little while, since I've updated the goals, so i thought I would do.

The muscle one first- I actually weigh 84 kgs not 86.5! Found this out when i went to the gym, and was like wow! Even so, the BF is still 16 lbs, just but still. So now i am going to sign up to the Uni's gym with my friend Chris, and I actually am looking forward to it! :D


for the song one, I kinda backslipped on that one. I havent played guitar consistently for a long time, and i need to improve again. I lost a lot, so i need to regain, so today i am going to spend time playing and developing a routine for me to get into so i can become great :)

for the water intake, i am doing good :D getting to drink 3 liters a day nearly as consistent when i was at work :)

also getting a wii by this weekend cos i want to zumba and not have to use videos :P

=]

Also can't wait to start this health reform for 3 months with Boo. should be good :)

and this is what I've done :D

So this is the beginning of it, using the terrain as a surface then making  hills and valleys :D

then adding on textures such as cliff rock and other stuff :)

Finally adding on grass and other stuff :)

So far, its been pretty interesting to say the least :) I am going to take a break from this, and then come back to it later on in the day :)

So.. Part 1 of unity..

So far its going good :D

I know how it works and i am getting comfortable with how to use it :)

only thing is because this is boo's laptop, there is no mouse. which can be a bit annoying, but i am getting used to that.. itll be fun when i can use my mouse and stuff :D


so for today i'll go up to learning about the terrain, then take a break (wash the dishes and other stuff), and come back to this later on..  :D its good though :D

and a lot to take in, but i take it in really fast, so thats good cos there are 2 exams for this anyway about all I learned. :)

should be fun :D

Unity 3D: step 1.. learning the basics..

I thought about making a new blog for this but then i was like "That's too much going back and forth",so i just decided to blog about it on here.

Any-whoo.. so far on the facebook group, there are 5 of us now, and I have been posting like mad on it as well :P at least the others are reading it as well :D


so today for Unity, I planned on going through the course syllabus provided for free (best word in the world at times :p) by the Walker Brothers. I did a Typology test, which turns out I am INFJ (introvert, intuitive, feeling and judging) type person. What that means right now, not too sure, but it was part of what i had to do, so it wasn't too bad :)

So right now, as the Unity software is being installed on my memory stick, I am also looking forward to today. I got stuff planned to do while Boo is at work (dishes and zumba and stuff), so I am really looking forward to today :D

Lets get started!

IJN! (In Jesus' Name)

:)

Making a game is going to be long yet I know im gonna enjoy it!

So the idea came to me to make a game using a software program called unity 3d. I've set a group on Facebook and so far four people beside me are on it.

However there is a lot to learn before the word go so I need to wait til the deadline so that the group can introduce themselves to each other and so that we can then get started from there.

As for me I might as well start learning all I can so that when the deadline starts I can organize more stuff.

This will be a long process. However I am excited because I know I can do all things through Jesus :)

私の最愛のための詩 (a poem for my beloved)

シャワーでの間、ナオミの小さな詩をすることについて考えた。(while i was in the shower, i thought of writing a poem for Naomi in Japanese)
So here goes :D

彼女は美しいだけ暑い日には澄んだ青い空を見ているようです。彼女は私彼女の美しさには、彼女の顔からダウン彼女の足を魅了します。彼女の言葉は私の好みに、アップルからの甘いジュースのようなことです。彼女の手で彼女のギターのメロディーを演奏する私たちの好きな食べ物を調理するかどうかに巧みな、です。私自身の魂を神がそこに置くことができることしか言うことのスリルと彼女は私を魅了します。ちょうど何も月の電力を太陽の力をしないすることができますとして誰も私の最愛の人を比較できます。

if you want the translation, its here:

(She is lovely, just like looking a clear blue sky on a hot day. She captivates me with her beauty, from her face down to her feet. Her words are like sweet juice from the apple to my taste. Her hands are skillful, whether at cooking our favorite food, to playing melodies on her guitar. She fascinates me with a thrill in my own soul that I can only say that God can put there. Noone can compare to my beloved, just as nothing can compare the power of the Sun to the power of the moon.)

Thats a first for me- combining my love for Japanese with my love for my boo ^.^
 

Such a wonderful thing

Is the Love of God for me. So marvelous and unselfish.. and then I am able to GIVE that love (trying and improving everyday) to a woman.. who just happens to be her:

she has no idea how much she means to me; i dont even know the depth of it. But what i do know is just a small simple thing:

I love her.
What would i trade for her in this world?
Nothing.
Because how can you trade the best there is?

I wonder what she will be like when she sees this... ^.^

What a devotion this morning!

So the topic today was the Legacy of Peace that Jesus leaves us.
And so we started. And one paragraph is what i want to talk about, because it was from there i was supremely blessed and also was able to see my defects and what the Spirit was saying to me in various ways.

"  It is the love of self that destroys our peace. While self is alive we stand ready continually to guard it from mortification and insult; but when self is dead, and our life hid with Christ in God, we shall not take neglects or slights to heart. . . ." {HP 249.5}

It was through this that I realized something i needed to change; I take things to heart. There have been times when i said "i get it from my mom" or i just excused it altogether. But now it came to me forecefully that it is because of love of self. To protect me from injury; and to that, is to forfeit what God wants to give me. So as foreign as it may be to me, I have to give that up and leave it forever, in order to be more like Jesus in the sense of having His peace.

So after that, Boo and I spoke about how to handle what she calls "strop resolution"- not conflict but strop. Because both of us dont like conflict, that doesnt mean it wont happen. She also revealed to me that if I dont the job i am to do( that is to lead us) she would, and i would then be emasculated. Which is something I dont want. (in my head, i thought of broken down marriages and men and over dominating women, which aint in the order of God). Therefore one thing i have to pray for and put into action Via faith is to be assertive with Boo and to take control of when she gets into strops. Because to be honest, I run away from those things rather than deal with it, and i realize that it is very annoying for me, much less for her. She also said that she doesnt want to be the domineering one and that it is supposed to be the man's duty to lead so get on with it! :L (basically her words). She also says she finds it attractive, because she is just to doing it herself (independent woman story insert here) and she wants to be reigned in, but not abused, which Through Jesus i wont do :D

What I also saw that my inability to handle her strops spills into other areas of us and my own life. So change is just required. as she said, she is a tough chick, so i dont need to be afraid that i would offend her. She isnt like me in that respect. Which for me, i admire, as im gentle like that, and she isnt. So we would learn from each other :)

So it will be work, but a pleasant and overcoming work. i will know when i am improving and it is truly exciting to know i have the power to change things for the better!

And so i thought about it and thought "others need to know about this" hence why i wrote this today. as well as a archive for myself, a lesson to others..

Men, if in a relationship or seeking one, make sure you are assertive but not arrogant and demanding. Learn of one and neglect the other if that how you are. always seek Christ for help for everything.

So what a morning start for me :) God blesses even in the most unusual of ways. We spoke about other things, but that was what i wanted to say :)

and also that I love my Boo :) 

this is just because it came to me.. and because i can..

So i am writing this because I thought about this while i was working out..
Now i have seen a lot of women today.. either by picture on in person..
But only one stands out to me.. you guessed it.. my Boo, or Naomi as she is called too (I just dont use her name anymore; boo is easier to say :p)


And i thought to I self: "Why would I give up such a good thing AND  a good woman for next chick? What possibly could i achieve with the best that I have been given thru the wisdom of God? Thats like giving up a chance to get my dream car, the Subaru

One day maybe I can get this car.. :)

for a Nissan Micra.

No way

There is just NO CONTEST. That is what i compare my love for Boo for .. there isnt even a woman on the planet that can compare with her. and I can be safe and secure and say that because I know that both she and I are striving to be like Jesus. So if Jesus fails, we both do.. But He never can; therefore we never will, as long as we keep Him 1st. 

:) 

so there we go :D 

when i see her:

All I think is: 

One day.. She will be mine :) forever :D 

In Jesus' Name for sure :) 

As I am waiting...

For boo to be ready for devotion, I got a few things on the mind:
- It feels nice to not have work anymore for now. And that i can do what i want again.
- I need to keep on the Japanese and Guitar; I havent done either this week or last week so i need to get on it properly, also because of music day for the guitar.
- as for the water drinking, kinda fell a bit yesterday as i didnt drink the full 3 liters. But today I will, so might as well get in 3 cups by now (havent yet).
- What a God that i serve. When i stop and think about it, serving God makes sense for me; it isnt like this is boring or this no use; it serves as a safeguard for me to not do stupid and potentially foolish things and makes a better person and a more Godlike person in character.
- I can always do better than how I am doing now; i say that because last night i was thinking that I dont want things bad enough in certain areas of what i do. EG Japanese or Guitar. and i realize that that can spill into my spirituality, so it is something to pray about and start to build up.
-As for exercise, i didnt do any Monday but i did some Zumba last night, and i will exercise today and Zumba as well. :) In Jesus Name i will do that because i know sometimes i dont have the motivation. (thats also where Boo comes in).

So yea, thats about i think. oh wait. it isnt. Another thing was that i want to take up chinese cooking and other sorts of cuisine to expand my food repertoire, and to just mix it up a bit, after watching a series on i player about it :)

In Jesus' name i can do all of this and consistently and to be better :)

What a long weekend it was!

This weekend was so long and stuff you woulda thought it would never end! Yet it did and it went a bit fast and a bit slow at the same time :p

From going to the beach to having talk about implementing health reforms as well being examples even though I didn't know I could be one to others it was a eventful bank holiday weekend :) I learned more About me and Boo and how she ticks and I tock and all in all I look forward to more stuff I'll do with her :) for now this weekend was blessed an totally worth it :)

Thanks for Sharing it with me Booboo :)

It's all over now :)

I am now done with working as a playworker :)
I learned alot about myself and about kids at the job and I know that I can surely put it into practice =]
I learned that I need to be less selfish and more like Jesus :)

And I made sure that the devotions i did with boo i would try to put into action when i got to work :)

Now I am home and being groomed; its a nice feeling to have and to do it back as well :)

All in all, a good experience :)


Onto the rest of the summer vacation :) and also the awesome weekend that is coming :)

Twas fun while it lasted :)

My 200th Post! :D and also updates :)

So just signing into this, I see that it is my 200th post! :D

woo :)

now with that aside, time for the updates for the goals:

-For the muscle side and stuff I have gained a little bit of muscle, around .4 lbs and lost the most body fat i have ever done, so praise Jesus indeed! :D
-For the music side, since the last post, I havent done much, because i didnt factor in the time for it or the japanese, which isnt good, so i know i have to do better with my time management for sure! I also need to start the song list for music day that Boo sent me as well....

Asides from those, My week has been pretty good; Charlotte now left the job, and  I will miss her, but now we have someone called Jamie, who I have seen the week before; she's nice. For me, I can't wait to have my time to me again and to catch up on some much needed studying as well as devoting time to little things I planned on doing!

Sermon that I am planning is going well under way :) I will have to put some time into it when I am able to. I have been also reading Acts of the Apostles (A book written by Ellen White on the book of Acts in the Bible). Personally, I never touched the book, but one day I read a part of it and it is really amazing :) Yesterday, I was reading the end scenes of Paul's life, and i was really humbled as well as encouraged and definitely took lessons away to learn.

There are things after I finish work I plan on doing; one is to take up swimming, because as a lot of people know (and dont), I cant swim. Thats another goal to achieve! Apparently, its good for the body and cardio as well, so might as well give it a shot :)

Another thing that i wanted to mention is how much I am beginning to settle into my relationship with Naomi, and i dont mean settle as in being 80% where i was 100%. I mean more into the fact that everyday with her, I understand more of her, and she of me, and also what i want to achieve in my life and to make sure that she  is there when i do it. Kinda like a personal fan club, and supporter :D

So yea, while I have been working I noticed I need to manage my time more for sure.. But I have appreciated the opportunity to work in this type of job; It has opened my eyes thats for sure, and i will write what I have learned on Friday, whens it all said and done :)

Now time for Devotion with Boo :)

Many different things happened lately…

It has been a good weekend this weekend!

First off I went to prospect park via coach with work and I got to manage inflatable balloons all day(could of been worse but I made sure I didnt complain to myself). After that I walked nearly 2 miles home, (it was fun though) and met up with Boo. From there we went to get something to eat(originally chips) but got so fed up cos of the prices we ordered pizza instead. From there we went to church which was really good :) and we got to know a bit more about Nicole, who was the person who drove us and what she did for a job :) (she works at the wedding registrar). Good to know for us :)
Then we went back to slough and fell asleep we were that tired.
Church was good. We were driven by clarisser and a skit was done at church and I got to do the lesson summary. And it went well so much so that I'm preparing a sermon on what I said. :)
After church we went to clarisser's house. The food and stuff as nice ;)
Today we just lazed around a bit. Naomi slept and I zumba'd. It was so nice and hot.
Also got into this thing called Quora. Basically from what I can gather it is a site that has topics about anything and everything. For someone like me that's really cool :D
Now I'm about to go home.

All in all a good weekend :)
Can't wait for the next one :D

What a Sabbath indeed!

Sabbath yesterday was so good! :D From the preaching to the crying to the counselling i gave, it was so boom :D

Woke up early and had devotion with Naomi as usual and went to the bus stop to meet Kallie and Sophie, which was cool :D

Church itself was good :) The message about God's love and faithfulness really hit me, and I allowed the Holy Spirit to come in start me anew from there, even to the point of me crying and speaking in Japanese to God alone :)

it was really good. :)
Lunch was so nice too :) got to see lots of people i havent seen in ages.

then I spoke to Michael about loads of things, from his conditions and trauma and all sorts, then spoke to Simba and spoke to Latifah and eventually counselling them both ( i didnt know i was good at that, but apparently i am  so woo :)) and then we walked to mine and we spoke loads more and then Boo called and we spoke to her as well and we prayed and played guitar and had pizza and all in all it was so good :)

Also i got to them 2 about Naomi and I and it was just so wow, because I realized that the more i speak about how much she loves me and me to her and all the stuff we do in between just made me love her even deeper. and I also said something that made so much sense and was so "penny dropped moment" which was: (paraphrased)
The more you love someone, the easier it is to talk about them. If I can say how much i love Naomi, I should be more than able to do the same about Jesus to people. 
so today i made food :) and i made this :)

Was so tasty! Thank you Jesus! :) 

On this Hymn ting :p

Ok so basically I said I would update on the goals I set in the previous blog; except now I am changing one of the goals.

The one to learn 5 hymns one..
Basically I got more now to learn (cos I want to anyway :p) and i set a subgoal within that one!

-To transpose (that is to take up a song by a half tone) and to find different voicings for that song :)

I got 14 hymns to learn (not by September 22nd, by the end of September), and I know from that i will be able to be more inspired and more knowledgeable about the guitar :D

Also was going in on the Japanese yesterday :)

Learning about cause and effect (knew it already but refresher) as well as looking at other books to buy :)

Sadly, I didnt do any exercise; I just couldnt be bothered. So  I will do some tonight :)

Now im just playing guitar until I am off to church with Kallie and Sophie :)

New Goals set whilst thinking in the shower...

So this morning, I got up and i thought about some things and said to myself "I have things to do, and yet with no aim, I get nowhere fast" whilst in the shower.

The things that I want to set goals for are reasonable; as Boo is working on the wifey body, i need to keep going on my own body and not be content with what i have now.

with that thought in mind, I am setting goals for myself, which are as follows:

1. to learn at least 5 hymns by  Music Day (September 22nd) and to play them comfortably and to be able to change 1 key.
2. for my Body, to go from 16 lbs of bodyfat, to 13 lbs, as well as from 170 lbs of muscle to 180.
3. to thoroughly go through my diet and cut out all the things that are stopping me from not achieving the previous goal and to eliminate any practices that will prevent it (sleeping late, snacking, junk food,etc)

So yea thats that :) 

when is the deadline for the last 2?

By my 22nd birthday :) (Christmas Day for those who dont know)

Ill be updating them as I go :)

Stay tuned :D

What a Booboo i have :D (woo :) )

So this week, and weekend was pretty eventful :D from Boo playing at the concert in London(and also meeting new and old friends), to her being her until she left just a while ago, its been pretty eventful :)

Work is going well and i got to play the wii today :)
now that i start at 8, i wake up so early now! (thats fun ish kinda.. yea..)

also, today we fell asleep which is funny cos i dont nap, but today was so tired i did just that!

Also as her back is a bit knotted up, she couldnt move much, so i was up and about and stuff when at work and when i got back (i got welcome home hugs :))

it was so nice having her here. I just am looking forward to when she doesnt have to leave ;)

that will be fun :D

also starting to learn hymns and how to make them in my style as well :) as well as reading more japanese, and exercising more. i havent done any since sunday but i will make sure i start again tomorrow properly!

not long now til the new job is done, but I am having fun doing it :)

lots of time for reflection and things....

Archers, at the Ready!

So today I finally got to do archery! :D
Although i missed the first time, I felt like this:

:) 

afterwards, I actually hit the target :D 

basically today was good, but that was what i was really looking forward to!

also i thought to myself how i need to revamp my guitar as well as japanese skills. 

Needs to be done, as I am good at both and I know i can be better :) 

thats it for now :)

OOOH!

also got SSX :) (game is so amazing :) )

what a weekend this was :D

this weekend was mad! :D
friday, after work, dropped off my tithe and then went to get Naomi from the station :D
and after all the talking we did, everything is back to normal (prayer works! trust me and try it out! :D)
the food we had was wonderful (im marrying a woman who can cook ! :D ) and we opened Sabbath as well with a prayer, as we fell asleep afterwards.
So the Sabbath morning, we went to Oxford! and we met Gilbert and Oabopa at the station :D
it was a nice ride and when we got to Oxford church, it was so nice :)

it was Tshepo's last sabbath in the Uk so had to make sure i was there and also Naomi was playing as well :)
while there i met a man called Michael, who is from the US and we chatted with Chris, another American and it was so much  fun :D

the train ride back was good as well, and the whole day was filled with goodness, and i even got to speak Japanese to a Japanese lady that attended that church! :D was so nice :)

Today, we slept in; well i did until like half 8 ish, couldnt sleep after that, and Naomi just plain ol' slept. (woman would sleep all day if she could.. i tell you ~.~)
made pancakes, which were nice, and also watched the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics , which was amazing!
And we play fought abit and also spoke more about marriage as well and sorta getting stuff sorted for that as well.
Dropped her off and now im tired, but all in all it was good :)

also got my hair braided :P

then unbraided :)
