Faith, Love, Hope, Joy.

Elias` last message today.. was so thought provoking.
With Faith, you know you have a spot in Heaven.. and there's no need to be sad, about anything.
God loved us with all his heart, and it is to a point where it is just unbelieveable.
You've gotta have hope. through everything.
and once you believe and know what God has done for us, you'll find yourself in a position where you're truly Joyful.
----------------
I was so sad today..
it was our last youth group. and yes, I cried.to tell the truth, this was a really sad moment for me. Elias is leaving, and after so many good times and a year of making wonderful memories, he's leaving our Youth Group.. and chicago. Elias, I'm going to miss him so much!!! We talk every day, and even though now it's deep talk, deep talk just brings us closer together.
& He is able to make me feel special about myself.. he's there to listen, especially when I needed someone to talk to and listen to me rant.
Those deep conversations we have, I will remember forever.
I'm not afraid to be myself around youth group - and youth group has been so much fun since he came. sometimes we could talk for hours, and we do. its always fun talking to you, never boring. Elias.. we're going to miss you sooo much. when we were singing together at youth group Friday.. It hit me that it was the last time we would ever sing together.. and the last YOUTH GROUP we'd ever have with you..
ELIAS I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE!!!!!
you don't know how much we all are going to miss you!!!
YOU HAVE BEEN THE BEST YOUTH GROUP LEADER EVER!!!!!!!!!
T________T
YOU BETTER COMEBACK AND VISIT.
WITH A GIRLFREND, AND PREFERABLY HAIR.
tehe, just kidding (:
but, yeah.. please do come back and visit.. and please go on AIM whenever you can. (:
IM GOING TO MISS YOU SO MUCH!
>< Have a safe trip & have fun in Taiwan!
:] SEE YOU LATER!

It's in His hands.

Everything is in God's hands. so there is no reason to be afraid, of anything.
If you believe in him, you know that he will take care of you.
and being Christians, God has taken our sentence, and forgiven us for the bad things we've done, because we're all sinners. whether we accept it or not, or believe it or not, we all are sinners.
and God sent his son, out of love for US, to die upon a cross and take our sentence.
and forgive us.
Anything that happens to you.. any suffering..
Jesus and others, had it worse.
Don't focus on the bad things.. go help others.
do as Jesus would do.
EVERYTHING IS IN GOD'S HANDS. there's no need to be afraid.
how bad your life is.. we have a Father up there that is amazing. the most amazing Father you could ever have.
and one day, we'll be up there, with him. our lives will be amazing.
so just live life. help others.
not for yourself. for them.
because no matter what you do, you won't be able to EARN Heaven..
Heaven was already given to you.

SHAVING CREAM FIGHT :D

SUMMER 2009, YO.

8th Grade Dance- 6/2/09.

THE TIME OF MY LIFE.

yes, that was the theme.

and I must say, pretty good theme too.

the 8th grade dance was amazing.

the time of my life, indeed.

what else would we do? we ate & then went crazeh on the dance floor !

from brdancing with steven to rocking out to Let it Rock with Joseph & Doing the single ladies dance with becky, the memories were all made on the dance floor.

we took pictures, well, of course we did.

no, the real polaroid pictures.

Anisa, Michelle, Maria, Cassandra, Brianna.

Cory, Steven, Andrew, Joseph, Maria, Michelle.

Cynthia, Justine, Maria, Katherine, Anisa, Cassandra, Samantha.

<3>

well.. so it was the same old same old.. Carrissa stepped on my foot three times with the heel of her high heels and it hurt really bad, but no biggie [: haha.

we did the cupid shuffle & the oneshakybutt one, LOL. it was amusing !

the dance was awesome. & of course there were slow dances. danced with no one. danced one dance with Joseph & that was it, haha. d:

DID THE SQUARE DANCE, that one was my favorite (:

hahaha ! it was amazingggg. alright. so here's the boom.

so, it was around 8:45 when the DJ (not the hot one, lol) said to get in a circle with our closest friends & people that we hung out with this year. The people next to me in our circle was Joseph & Becky. Of course, everyone else in my circle was aewsome, but I jsut had to tell you that

So you know that song, Graduation(friendsforever) by Vitamin C?

well they played it.

you know the chorus?

As we go on, we remember, all the times we had together. As our lives change, from whatever, we will still be friends forever.

and that just made me think. some of my friends are moving & going to different high schools. this whole year, the only people who helped me up when I fell were my friends. they were the people I had grown especially close to.. and this was the last day we'd have together as GMS middle schoolers. we were graduating the day after, and thats when we'd probably not go to the same school anymore. from good and bad times this year, we've also made some amazing fun memories.. and I didn't think I was ready to let go. And I wasnt. I loved my time at GMS.. I found myself. And I found my freinds too. the ones that could make me laugh & make me feel better, & the ones that I could tell my problems when I had no one else go to. What else can I say? all the times we had... good and bad.. we've all gotten so close, and now the journey's ended & we go our seperate ways. everyone was crying at the dance, I don't blame them; I was too.
I'll never forget you guys, don't forget me either please.

You guys made my life at GMS amazing, thank you for that.

Thanks for being there [:

I'm glad that most of my friends aren't moving..

but 2 of my closest friends are.

<3>

Hey, lets hang out over the summer. Even if its walking to the park & doing stuff, or maybe just meeting up somewhere and then dragging that day out, I'll be happy. [:

yay, class of 2009.

now, summer 2009. yuhready?! :]

Glenside Class of 2009 !

GRADUATION 2009!

...was a night to remember.
hahaha, I didnt cry at graduation, I was more EXCITED than sad. I got the JOHN PHILLIP SOUSA AWARD!! I was so excited, I was hoping to get it but I was so nervous.

And I felt sad, because last year, we were the ones playing the graduation song in band for the 9th graders and this year it was being played for us. that made me feel so asdfjk; i got so nervous..

but graduation was a night to remember. I was in honor roll, yuh! (: I couldn't say goodbye to everyone.. but we'll defintely haaaang over the summer [: haha ! I'm going to miss my teachers so much..

To Glenside Middle School Class of 2009:

We've had good times; we've had rough times. We've stuck together through it all, and now we've finally finished. Most of us are going seperate ways, no matter if its a friend moving or going to a different high school, it will never be the same.. not being able to say HEY to that exact friend or share good times with them in the hallway, they're going on another path and that's not going to change. So I realized that even though I may not be friends with every one of the graduating class of 2009.. I'll still miss you guys, the ones that aren't going to GBW. Becausewell, even if you don't know it, you've made a difference in my life, you've made an impact. Even if it was just exchanging a quick conversation or a smile, I found that I'll remember that..memories. of good ol` Glenside. The cramped 7th grade hallway. Sixflags. Cougars & Sox/Cubs games. All these memories, I know I'll never forget.

I love you guys.. and I hope I'll see most of you over the summer; we can hang (:

CONGRATS, GLENSIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASS OF 2009!

I'll miss you guys. <3>

dancing extravaganza.

at church, on saturday we went to a dancing thing.
all the people had disabilities, either they were blind or they were missing a limb.
and yet.. they danced..
they danced with their hearts. you could tell.
the look on their faces, smiling, even though they couldn't see or they knew what everyone was looking at,
it was fantastic though!
they danced beautifully.
and the songs were amazing (:
it's one memorable night.

broken into splinters.

so.. our youth group has been amazing for like, the last year..
but so.. Elias is leaving end of June.
And you know, I don't know whats going to happen to our youth group after that.
Yeah, this was like the funnest yg`s we've ever had.
d: and the lessons are actually deep.. thought provoking.. they keep me interested too.
& he has many stories that are just fun.
haha, and we play cards together.. and after all these good times..
It's all coming to an end.
Cus you know what ?
Kevin's leaving too. And.. especially this month.. we've gotten exceptionally close.. he's told me everything and we've given each other advice.. we've had many good times and he's helped me as I helped him.. and we've become great friends.
He's leaving. for taiwan. this friday.
I want to say goodbye. but I cant.
He's not even staying for the lockin ! d: gaaah!
adsfjk;ljafiowekjsldfoiwjfsdjcfs.
I guess the good times just have to fade away, sometimes.

(but I'm making a farewell video. Not really. A YG video !)

everything has to come to an end.

everything.
2009 be ending, guys, we're graduating in less than 48 hours.
tomorrow's our 8th grade dance.
I can't wait, though, haha.
I'm going to be sad, to leave these halls of Glenside.
I mean sure, we've had our fights, and we've had our bad times with our friends,
but think of how many good times we've had here!
from the prune bowls,
to the parties,
to bonding with teachers,
making new friends,
finding ourselves..
it's all been in this journey.
and now the journey's ending.
in less than 48 hours, we'll be able to walk out of Glenside as the graduated class of 09.
-------------------------------------------------
enough depressing stuff, haha.
IM SO EXCITED for the dance ! i went dress shopping again ( last minute, I know, haha) but i got this amazing dress that I love! I think it looks great (:
& I can't wait for graduation either, but I'm nervous that I'm going to mess up !
haha, either that or trip on stage, haha ! d:
I'm still excited.. and yet sad.
whatta bittersweet ending ! I'll miss my teachers so much!
Mrs. Miceli, Mrs. Hoblik, Mrs. Schaudt, Mr. Schaudt, Mrs. Vana, they are my all time favorite teachers at Glenside.
wow, I'll miss them so much ! I better take pictures with them or I'll be super duper sad D;
hehe ! & I'll miss my 7th+8th grade friends too. I mean 6th, haha, sorry !
but yeah.. I'll tell you how graduation & dance went tomorrow !
eeeeep, I'm pretty excited (: and yet sad, remember ?
and yet nervous. hahaha, I don't know, lol.

CONGRATS, GLENSIDE CLASS OF 2009 ! :D

youth group :]

youth group on friday was brilliant !
hehe, it sucked that dorothy erin and kelly couldnt make it, it was awesome haha.
we always have fun in youth group (:
haha, so we went in Elias` car again ! and he has a burger king coupon for a whopper in his car LOL. and I couldn't figure out how to lock the doors so I kept opening them instead of locking them, the whole time while he had his keys hahaha ! so all I did was jsut attempt to lock the doors while the real person locking the doors was Tiffany who was sitting in the passenger seat next to me. haha, yes, I was in the drivers seat lol ! d: it was fun (:
anyway, then we had dinner and then even though there was pizza, all i ate was CARROTS. hahahaha it was great ! i decorated elias` cup into a masterpeice but he threw it away T-T
lol ! i snorted carrots up my nose .-. hahaha ! it was amusing. (btw, caraline does that too! I swear, we're twins haha.)
so then we did our thang ! and then after yg we played cards. heehee, we learned golf & elias failed, lol ! me and kevin did intense speed with everything from screaming and punching to yelling in chinese hahaha (: YUSSS.
what we learned..
GOD IS IN CONTROL.
and so there's no reason to be scared.
no reason to worry, because one day, we'll go to a place with no more pain, no more tears, and no more suffering.
so no matter if someone else doesnt' like you being Christian, or disagrees with what you believe in.. still.. be proud of being a Christian. be proud of what you believe. and stand for it.
and hope that that person will learn to believe to.
I can honestly relate.
ohboy, i love youth group. it stinks that we won't have it this week ]:

more blogs coming right up, sirs! (: holler.
