Sudoku!

john — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:42:42 +0000

So a few months ago, I decided to start doing Sudoku‘s to improve my memory and keep my brain sharp. I planned on doing one per day, but it was more like one per week or so. Anyway, today I PR’ed (to use a Kat Mak’ism). I didn’t try to go fast either! Maybe it was just an easy one. Although, an occasion to celebrate is an occasion to celebrate. What are your best times?

Just tidbits from my life..

-My flight to Canada was in a tiny propeller-jet. With my arms extended, I could almost touch both walls of the plane at the same time. eek.

-Also on that flight, I sat next to a lady that played volleyball for Team Canada. They had just played in the Pan Am Cup in Mexicali. ‘Twas interesting to chat about her life. It’s fun to talk to people on planes. Meet the most random people.

-On my way back from Canada, I was pulled aside and checked for explosives by TSA O_O.

-Today, I saw 14 UPS vans all at once. It might have been a UPS parade.

-Going down to Socal tonight with my Mum and Kat.

-Finally, an oldie but a goodie:

Oh Canada!

Hello from Deschambault, Quebec, Canada! For those of you who don’t know where that is, the tip of the brim is just north of where I am. See below:

Anyhow, moving on. Man I wish I had a point and shoot camera. (My S3 IS is so big I decided to not take it with me =[ ). Canada is super nice and movie-like. It’s completely green (even greener than Seattle!), with long dirt driveways, huge trees lining those driveways, etc. I’m staying in a 200 year old house-turned-bed and breakfast. To put that into some perspective, United States is barely that old. So that’s a pretty old house. Today, my day looked like:

630am | wake up call

7am | breakfast

9am | meeting

545pm | end of meeting =[

Now I am about to wash up and eat dinner. It feels like I am a kid again, partly because I’m showering in the middle of the day and partly because I’m not making my own dinner or buying it. (Technically, I am buying the dinner, but it doesn’t feel like it since it’s at a house..actually wait, the company pays for it.) I will be flying back to Oakland tomorrow morning. Speaking of which,

things I miss: Bay Area O_O, church apt, Kat!(happy 1yr5month!!), Joey and Lance(roommates. gosh, i don’t like staying by myself =[), Gordo’s carne asada, sports, musical worship even though I just went on music missions in Seattle, Monday Night prayer meetings, my parents!, a non-roaming cellphone (canada=roaming for me), nice cool evenings in Socal. What do you miss??

Hello from Seattle!

I am now in Seattle with Living Water Band. We had pizza from a place called “Chunky’s”. Weather is kinda bleh. I saw the Space Needle from the airplane.

Oh! We did ride Virgin Airlines. That was pretty cool. Hooray short sentences!

cheese and bread

john — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:27:09 +0000

when Bryan moved down to SoCal, he gave me 2 full loaves of wheat bread. Upon arrival at the church apt, I found 2 huge stacks of sliced cheese in the fridge. What to do with a month supply of bread and cheese?

2 words: GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES! (3 words actually)

PSA: If you want a grilled cheese sandwich, come to my place!

On Dreams and Nicaragua

john — Fri, 23 May 2008 17:58:28 +0000

Last night, I dreamt that I had a hard time packing up to come home from Nicaragua. Why you ask? I had too many large stuffed animals that wouldn’t fit in my suitcase…

note to summer 08 nic team — don’t bring too many stuffed animals!

Anyone good at interpreting dreams? :p

I have a sudden urge to see this movie O_O. Maybe because I am at work and I get all my sudden urges at work… Has anyone seen it? Is this a girl movie??? Sadness.
