Finally, some time to update

I've been trying to update the blog for the past week but it seems that everytime I start typing, something came up and I'd have to leave the computer. Well, now that I'm back at work, I finally have the time, haha. The irony.

Well, last time I wrote, I was looking forward to London and once again, I'm going back to London this weekend. Last time was to see people and to catch up with some old friends. This time, it's mainly for a grad and oldy night. I've been asked to share something on friday and reluctantly agreed. I have an idea about what I want to talk about, but I'm still not sure how to go about doing it....

Things are going great with me. I've been doing well here at work, God's blessed me so far in all the work I've done. This weekend, I'll be flying to Boston where I'll be training for 3 weeks. From there I'm going straight to Vancouver for a week of holiday so I'm going to be away for awhile. I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been on a business trip before and I hear it's fun, especially when you don't have family responsibilities yet.

I feel kind of bad about two other people that work with me. One of them met with my manager and kind of got crapped on for not doing so well on the tests we've been given. I did well because I had more time and no pressure to finish them but I know this person's had a lot of pressure and less time than I did. It's unfair, yet in a way, I also feel bad for doing well. I know I shouldn't, but I do feel that maybe it was partly because i did well that my manager crapped on the other people for not doing so well. Politics of work....it's all new to me.

I can't wait to use my camera gear in the next month. I plan on shooting A LOT of film....
Speaking of which, i think i need to stop at Henry's to buy a few things before my trip....

Another update

So, over the past 3 weeks, I've rented seasons 1,2 and 3 of smallville and I'm pretty much up to date now with the show....sad eh?

I've had a change of heart. I know I ranted about CCSA softball awhile back on this blog but I've decided to play senior this year. I just want to be clear as to why I'm playing. I'm playing for the game of softball and to help my team do well. If my team decided to join a non-christian league, I would have joined too, CCSA just happens to be the league we're joining. At this point, I don't expect much from CCSA in terms of evangelism and spiritual growth. However, to be fair, I'm going to try to keep an open mind. If there's something I've learned, it's that God can do anything. So, from this point on, I'll keep my big mouth shut about CCSA and see what happens this summer.

Since I'll be playing again, it's time to fix my busted up shoulders. I played volleyball this past weekend and both my shoulder rotator cuffs were pretty sore after. Ever since I dislocated my throwing hand index finger in a a heroic but ill-fated attempt to catch a football, I've had injury after injury. I've had physio on my left shoulder rotator cuff which never fully healed properly and now my right shoulder is giving me the same problems. I've rested from softball for 2 years, so hopefully with some activity, I'll be able to throw like i used to again.

Work has been good. I'm pretty bored nowadays as my next visit is Friday in Windsor. I'm really looking forward to my training in Boston. I saw the list of people in my class and there are 28 people going down from all over the world. 4 from Brussels, 1 from Tokyo, 4 from Singapore, 4 from Frankfurt, 1 from France, 3 from the US, 5 from Canada and the rest I can't remember.

2 days until London!

Random thoughts

Lately, I've been thinking about London and my friends there. I actually took the time to read through everyone's blog that I have. To you guys out there in London, keep updating them, I love reading about how you're doing and also about the things God is doing with you and with ACF...

I'll be going up to London next thursday to sunday, mainly because I have to be in windsor for work friday so I thought I'd stop by to see some old friends. So, you ACFers out there, if you're free next weekend, I want to see you guys!

Last sunday was the first time I've lead worship at my church in a long time. In fact, it's the first time i've lead worship period in a long time. I feel so...unworthy to do it...but times I feel like this, I know God loves to come in and use me because it's not about me anymore. God is so good and amazing to me and I don't deserve it...

The past while, I've been watching Smallville! Jesse, I know you'll laugh at me....but yeah, my sister got me hooked and so I went out and rented seasons 1, 2 and i'm waiting to rent season 3. I wish I could have super powers....

There's so much more to write but i'll save it for another day.
