What an Eventful Weekend!!! The Seven Sins and Virtues, a Pomp/Birthday Party, and a Retreat!!! Oh Yeah! I've Learned That I'm Psychic!!!! And a Bunch of my Other Friends!!!
Start: 6:46 PM CST
Oh hey everyone!!! This weekend has been...SO EVENTFUL!!! I MEAN IT!!! OH GOSH... IT WAS SO FUN!!! Uh, I'll tell you about it. (It's gonna be a LONG post...)
Friday
Well, today, we had our award day. It was so fun!!! Well, it began during Art, so Melissa and I left class. (We left our stuff in the class... Wrong mistake.)
We went to the girl's gym for the Dance, but only the black girls danced. (Not to be racist, sorry. And it was more of a rave thing, really.)
I played Speed (playing cards) with Tien (the girl one)! Sabrina starts thinking I stalk her!!! I AM NOT HER STALKER!!! (I met Tracy, one of Paige's friends...)
The next part of the party was Basketball. Actually, it was Movie, so I got moved to the Library. We watched "Milo and Otis"... Kinda boring. I played Blackjack 21 with Katherine, Andrea, and Kirsten. (Poor Kirsten. She wanted to use the restroom, but when she showed her ticket, they moved her to the Movie area. Ruth thought Kirsten went to the restroom, and when Kirsten comes back, Kirsten thinks Ruth's gonna be mad...)
Again, I saw Sabrina in the Movie area. She called me "STALKER!!!" again and she mouthed the words "I'm watching you..." I'm not stalking her! We're just assigned to the same places!!!
After that, we went outside on the Moonwalk! It's fun! But Tien got his foot cut and his SOCK WAS JUST STAINED IN BLOOD! (Poor guy...) But it was still fun... ^^ I raced a lot with John and Danny. I hated that we had to take off our glasses to go on the rides... T_T
Saturday
Well, I woke up around...7 AM on Saturday to go to my retreat... We didn't leave until 7:30 AM... (Between then, I was trying to make a panini sandwich... ^^;;) Well, I got to the church by 8 AM.
Well, when I got there, there was a breakfast! I wanted to eat some doughnuts (with Coke... Hehe), but I decided not to... Well, I signed in, paid my $5 for lunch, and got my name tag. Later, Chi came!!!
Well, we went outside and we had a Jam concert!!! (At first, everyone was sleepy, but we all got hyper and excited later!) Well, that was really fun... ^^ (I met Nickkie, one of Chi's friends at Bush. ^^) Well, lots of jumping, screaming, and music...
OOH! I found out one of the TAs, TA Eddie, was on "American Idol"!!! (Well, he will be... He's gonna be on one of the new seasons... Or something like that. XP) He taught us that reality T.V. isn't REALLY reality T.V. (Everything's been rehearsed, EVEN THE AUDIENCE. And everything's shot more than one time, so it's REALLY not REALITY T.V.)
Who needs "virtual reality" when you have "virtuous reality"??? *laughs* That's cute. It was a game show. When one of the questions asked for an answer (the answer was a number), Quang wrote "Red"... *laughs* He lost in the end... (Everyone hated that...) And Co Jennifer threatened us to cheer for her at the end... ('Cause everyone was booing at her in the end that she won...) *laughs*
(Hehe) After that, we kind of played a game of hide-and-seek.
You see, we were to close our eyes. Then they would put a necklace tag thing over our necks, but we couldn't read it. Then we had to find other people with the same tags. (On the tags were the seven sins: Envy, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Greed, and Sloth.)
OH MY GOSH. I bet some of you are wondering if this is a Fullmetal Alchemist thing... NOO!!!!! It's NOT!!! (You see, the Seven Sins are based on the Catholic religion... DUH.)
Guess what? I GOT TO BE IN THE GLUTTONY GROUP!!! (So did Chi!!!) You see, even though we were wearing our Sins tag, we couldn't talk to find our other fellow Sinners. And we couldn't look at our own... (The wind kept blowing it around so that the tag was on the front of me instead of the back... -_-;;)
So, Nickkie was in the Envy group, and I later found out my older brother was in the Wrath group...
We went inside for a water break then, and then our TA, Kathy, said "Gluttony, come here!" (That's my group... ^^)
It was fun. We got a classroom in the far back... o_O We talked about the sins and the virtues... (OH YEAH! "Patience" isn't a virtue, it's a fruit!)
Well, the opposing force of "Gluttony" is "Temperance". I learned that... (OOH! Overeating is a sin... Did you know that??? YUP YUP. That's when you're full and yet, you still eat... SIN, I TELL YA!!!)
Well, then we got to eat later... Noodles, egg rolls, and fried rice. One of the girls who were helping pass out food said "YOU KIDS ARE SCRAWNY!!! YOU NEED TO EAT!!!" (She's not an old lady... She's still 18-25... *laughs*)
I sat on the floor and ate with Chi. Kathy sat with us too. (It feels weird eating with a teacher... o_O) Well, John was trying to talk to her... But she seemed more interested in the food... XP Nickkie came later to sit with us. ^^ (Ooh! And Chi and I got a doughnut from the breakfast... Leftovers... Hehe)
Well, we came back to our class later, and we had to make a banner that represents our sin, and the opposing virtue. For Gluttony, we made a guy getting high on pills, drinking too much alcohol, and eating buckets of chicken. (We made the man's hand move and all the other stuff 3-D!) While there, TA Eddie asked why do girls like shoes... (Random...) Well, Chantel answered him, and then he said it's the same thing for boys with their computers and video games... (I replied that girls use the computer and play video games too...) Then he replied that he wasn't calling us girls... (He has it mixed up... -_-;; What I'm saying is even girls use technology too... GAH.)
Well, we went to the church and represented "Gluttony"! Because "Envy" was late, they got to do theirs first! Haha Well, for SOME REASON, the "Sloth" group drew a shark for their slogan... (A sloth isn't a shark...or a whale... o_O)
Well, after that, we went back to our classes. But before that we had a break. Well, then we started praying for each other, like our partners (Chi) and in groups... (Visions kept popping into my head when I touched another person while praying... You'll see why later...)
Well, after that, we attended another Jam concert, but it was in the church this time... After 5 PM, it was done, and we went home... ^^
Well, Chi and Nickkie were gonna go to Kathy's party! I wanted them to take me with them, and they let me. But I needed my parent's permission... Guess what? They came on time... ^^ I asked my mom... But like always, SHE HAD TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!!! (Ask Alaina/darkwolfgirl!!! She'll know what I'm talking about!) Well, my dad let me, and he gave me his cell phone. Then my mom wanted Diana to come... So yeah. She came along. (Yup yup Alaina. Like always, eh? Have to bring a sibling... -_-;;)
Well, all four of us got into Chi's dad's car and we headed to their house first, so Chi could change. (I met Dai again!!! ^^ She's so adorable!!!) And then Chi's dad drove us to Kathy's house...
Well, I found out I live CLOSE TO KATHY!!! I was the one to ring the bell when we got there... (I found later that they already rang the doorbell... XP)
We all came in, and into Kathy's room. (Kathy was in makeup, which was my first time to see her in... ^^;;) We all came to her room, and Kathy started changing into her formal dress. But before that, she was on MapleStory. Chi signed on later, and I got to sign on for a BIT.
Well, Sue looked nice. She was in a purple/pink silk phoenix Chinese dress... ^^ (It sounds pretty, eh?)
Well, guess what? We just got out of church, so Chi, Nickkie, Diana and I didn't look formal. (Jeans and all that. Chi and Diana KINDA LOOKED FORMAL...)
Well, Kathy wanted the girls to get into one of her dresses... But we didn't. (I learned that Kathy was Spanish when we got there... NOT Hispanic!!! Spanish, as in "from Spain"... There's a difference.)
Well, we all got into Kathy's mom's van, but we didn't have a lot of room, so Nickkie sat in the back... (Sue called me "un-gentlemanly" to let a girl sit in the back...) But Nickkie likes to sit in the back...for some reason... ^^;;
Well, the Safari was kind of like a country club. (That's where Kathy's formal birthday party was held...)
I got in, and it looked so nice!!! We all signed into the guestbook, and walked around... Mainly, we ate the appetizers and stuff... (We got to sit in the front!) Well, that took up most of our evening...
Janis came later, and Nickkie said that she looked like that she came from Paris! (Paris with a French accent!) Well, in the van, Nickkie and I were having a conversation in French. Nickkie's pretty fluent in French. ^^ (But she's Vietnamese.)
That's where I met Alex, a girl that wants to be Japanese... And she grabbed her silverware knife from the table and named it Jack... (She started rubbing it in her face... o_O;; Imagine a girl in love with a knife and rubbing a knife on her face... o_O) I tried to take it away from her, but I couldn't. Once I did, but I gave it back... (On several occasions, she stabbed me with it... o_O) Oh yeah. She took that knife home with her... ^^;; She's crazy, but I like her. ^^ (She wants to be Asian... Just like a bunch of other anime lovers I know of... ^^)
Well, the party was nice... After the appetizers and main course came the dancing... ^^ They gave us a champagne glass of red liquid... Chi and Alex started drinking it, so I copied... (Later, I found out it was for a toast... I'm never copying them again... XP) Ooh, there was a girl that sit next to us that we didn't know, but she was quiet... Hmm... (I assumed she was Kathy's little sister's friend, but I guess not...)
(First, Kathy danced with her dad, followed by another group of men...) Then they started popping all the balloons... o_O;;/^^;; Well, I didn't join in until later, since Alex was afraid to go in... I threw balloons into their face, and all that... *laughs* Oh, the popping balloon noise was unpleasant a bit, but it was all right. (If Enin were here, he'd scream of fear, I bet... *giggles*)
Well, after that, came a lot of dancing... I did some, then stopped for a while... The others were trying to shove each other into the dancing spotlight... (Guess some people were embarrassed... I have to admit, I was too... ^^)
I found out later Chi knows how to dance hip-hop! I asked if she would do it, but she didn't... ^^;;
Well, it was fun. We took lots of pictures, and we went outside to the pool, although we couldn't swim since it was covered in a net... ^^;; But it was so pretty... Palm trees everywhere... ^^ (Chi didn't bring her camera since we weren't allowed to in church...)
Well, after that, we sang Happy Birthday to Kathy and she cut the cake. (She even said the cake was too pretty to eat... It was, REALLY!)
Well, I got a cut of chocolate cake and got some fruit and went down to eat... ^^ Everyone else ate too... ^^
But Chi's mom came, and we had to leave... They gave us a small present wrapped in ribbons and those rainbow neon glowing sticks and we left...
Well, Chi's mom got a DRIVING TICKET because she couldn't find the Safari! (Well, Chi's mom thought Chi would be in her friend's house, not a country club/thing... *laughs*) I called my dad to come to Chi's house so he could drive us home...
Well, she drove Nickkie home first, and then they stopped at their house, where my dad was waiting to pick us up. ^^
I wanted to get on the computer, but my brother wouldn't let me... So I fell asleep at midnight...
Wow, can you imagine??? Staying in a formal party from...7 PM to 11:30 PM... XP (It's tiring...plus with that retreat... ALL IN ONE DAY.)
Sunday
Well, I went to church today. I sat with Lac-Hong and we finished the rest of our mid-term... The guy on the right of me claimed it was hard... Oh, and Khang blotted his hair... o_O;; (Actually, he streaked his hair brown, but it wasn't "streaked"... It was "blotted"... Like, little brown dots of hair over his head... ^^;;)
Well, for Confirmation, people were tired, so the TAs decided to go soft, really... Jonathan asked if anyone of us had visions while doing the prayer thing yesterday... I raised my hand, and so did San Nhi!!!!
Jonathan asked "Do you know what that is?" Everyone said "They're psychic!"
But no. Really, the Holy Spirit lets us read the mind of the person we're praying for... Cool, eh? ^^ (Some people have that power. And I'm one of them!!!)
Well, we all went to pray in the front part of the church. First, the Nativity, and then the Tabernacle.
Well, we had to ask some questions to God/Jesus and get answers...
Later, when I asked Chi, we both got the same answers!!! OH MY GOSH!!! (We're kind of psychic!!! ^^) But you know, not all people have the gift... TA Jonathan has it, and Chi and I do, but not everyone...
Imagine being psychic... *giggles* (A ton of people I know are partly-kinda... ^^)
Well, we stayed for church, and sat with Na Nhi. ^^ Na Nhi asked us if we thought church was fun. We said "yes", and she said "depending on what's happening". Ah, it's nice to see young people interested in religion/church. ^^
Well, after that, I went home... And now I'm here. Dad gave me a Crunch chocolate bar, and now I'm here... ^^
Oh, did you know all of you have committed the sin of Gluttony??? You see, Gluttony doesn't always have to do with food. It includes the Internet too! You see, when you spend TOO MUCH TIME on the Internet, you have committed the sin of Gluttony.
Why is too much computer time a sin? Well, you see, Internet can be used for good things, like schoolwork. But once you start using it too much, you have sinned. (Just like drugs. Drugs are good to help you get better when you're sick, but when you take too much, you get addictive.)
YOU HAVE ALL SINNED!!!!!!!
Question: What Sin do you think you are?
1. Pride
2. Lust (You're perverted, basically. Uhh... I'm not going detailed... You only care about people's looks, and other stuff...)
3. Gluttony (You eat more than you need to, but it's not always food. Internet can be gluttonous too. MYOTAKU PEOPLE HAVE SINNED!!!)
4. Envy (You want something so much that you're willing to hurt someone else to get it...)
5. Wrath (Another word for "anger", people.)
6. Sloth (You're lazy.)
7. Greed (You want something so much that you can't control it. Ex. Money, materialistic possessions, women, etc.)
I'll do Virtues tomorrow. Good-bye everyone!!! ^^
End: 7:57 PM CST
