He's a hot bachelor!

Bobby Deen’s one of People’s Hottest Bachelors of 2006! (Ain’t he cute?!)

If you haven’t seen his show Road Tasted on Food Network, along with his brother, Jamie, I suggest that you check it out. They’re the most adorable, fun, food-tv show hosts. They’re the sons of Paula Deen (Paula Deen’s Home Cooking, Paula’s Party). Sooooo cute!

It's the weekend.

It’s the weekend ya’ll, it’s the weekend. Whew! Thank God! I’m about to go home in a few minutes, just killin’ time now.

Movies I’m looking forward to watching:

1. Running with Scissors
2. Stranger than Fiction
3. Flag of our Fathers
4. Fearless
5. Hollywoodland
6. All the King’s Men
7. The Departed
8. The Science of Sleep
9. Bobby
10. Happy Feet

Anyway, have a good weekend!

"What have we become?"

This past weekend, my cousins and I sang this song, along with our friends in our “non-band” Monkfunk, and today, I was just reminded of it once again.

What have we become?
Self-indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell
me, where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world
degenerating…

What have we become?

What about love?
What
about God?
What about holiness?

Let’s honour God with our lives.

I need to be mindful to live out what I sing about. I usually take it for granted. It’s so easy to get caught up in the performance, and fail to worship God in the process.

Feelin’ the need to drive this point home, not only for others, but for myself especially… I’m re-posting, previous posts:

Living a self-controlled life
Living a transformed life

Have a good week all!

I'd like a break, please.

It’s been 2 weeks since new enrollment started, and I can’t believe I’m still standing. Well, barely. I’ve consumed so much coffee these past 2 weeks, I think if you try to prick me with a needle, brown goo will ooze out. I like being busy though, even if I complain about it a lot (haha). The fact of the matter is, I like being kept on my toes. It’s such a rush.

On Sept 23rd, my cousins Joyce, Christine and I, along with a bunch of old friends from Ordinary People, are performing at a Music festival in San Pedro, which is held by The Light of the Lighthouse, a non-profit, Christian organization. We had our first rehearsal last Monday, and can I just say that these guys are incredibly talented?! I’m so privileged to be part of this endeavour and I get to sing with my old cohorts from OP, Kurtz and Dowai, which is always a thrill for me. I miss hearing their beautiful singing voices. I wish we could have an OP reunion one of these days. I think it would be incredible. So, the band rocked. Wow. I’m excited to be performing along with them. Please pray that people will feel the presence of the Lord, and will be able to worship along with us.

If you guys would like to come and see us, (our group is called Monk Funk - haha), here are the details:

The Light at the Lighthouse Festival
Saturday, September 23rd, at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro, CA
***Monk Funk goes on at 6pm (we’re only doing a 30-minute set, and we’re closing out the festival).

Waiting for this day to be over. I’m looking forward to doing nothing on the weekend (except for working tomorrow morning).

It's almost here...aahhh!!!

OK, the Southern Baptist Convention is next week. Aaah!!! I’m a bit nervous, but I think it’s going to be quite a fun experience. In Harmony’s been practicing like mad these past few weeks, but I think we’re ready. I’m glad Kurtz was able to help us out with our vocals. We’re a lot more polished. Pray for us, this is a great opportunity for us to minister and just be out there, and let people know that the ministry of In Harmony exists. Pray that all 4 of us will be spiritually ready. Thank you.

I’ve been trying not to get sick. I’ve been coughing a little bit, and have the sniffles here and there, but for the most part, I’m fine. I just need to stay healthy until AFTER the convention.

Oooohh… there’s a Myspace page for the ol’ skool Ordinary People members. Click HERE to check it out. Those were the days…*sigh* I miss everyone. I’m still hoping for a reunion concert. Dowai pointed out that our 10th anniversary will be August of 2007. August 1997 was when we first performed The Extra Mile. 10 years! Wow! Anyway, go visit the site when you get a chance, and if you have a Myspace account, please feel free to add us! While you’re at it, check out In Harmony’s page as well.

"Reunited, and it feels so good..."

I finally saw the Boys again. It was great seeing Rocka-P last night. Loved, loved, LOVED the originals! They need to get those on CD already, they're way overdue in releasing a new CD. Get to work boys! :) The "advert jingles" segment of the concert was a nice addition. I had no idea they sang advert jingles for Budweiser and Preparation H! Anyway, brought a newbie along with me, my friend Van, and she enjoyed herself a lot. I'm glad. She wants to come along with me to see them in November. Whoo-hoo! Rocka-P makes people happy. hehe ;) Meet and greet was short but sweet. Scott, bless him, remembered my name, yet again! I told him that I was impressed and thought it really cool that he remembered my name. He said, how could he forget, I'm a very memorable person! Awww... sweet huh? Kevin agreed (he was sitting next to Scott). I asked him if it was a good thing (me being memorable), he said that it was. *sigh* Kevin and I got to catch up on stuff, i.e. Rockstar:INXS. haha Someone we both know was in it, Ty Taylor (formerly of Dakota Moon). Told him that I did watch and was disappointed that Ty didn't win. Anyway, Kev asked me how I was doing, but before I really got a chance to talk to him, I was asked to move along because they were quite a few people waiting in line for the Boys. Said hello to JB and Geo. Didn't get to talk to them much, don't really have much to say since I haven't been much acquainted with either of them as I am with Scott, Kevin and Jeff. Said hi to Jeff, gave me a high five, we tried to hit our knuckles together, it got weird, so we just had a laugh about it. haha Anyway, you had to be there to know what I'm talking about. Tried to get pictures with the guys, but they were busy signing autographs. Jeff asked if we could wait after they get done signing and posing for everybody else, we can have our pictures with them. Took longer than expected, my cousin Christine wanted a pic with her boy Geo, so we took a quick one since they were getting ready to leave. Jeff saw me standing there with my camera, complaining to my cousin April that I need a new digi-cam, and I don't know what got into him but he looked at me and said, "how about a picture, just you and me?" Was kinda surprised that he asked. Jeff asked for a pic with me...hehe Tables were turned. It was nice that he asked though. Actually pretty sweet. After everyone got their pictures taken with their favourite (Vanessa got her picture taken with Kevin), we all said our goodbyes, Kev and Scott said that it was nice to see us again. Told them we'll probably see them again in November. :) Can't wait 'til November! :)

It's over! :(

Our 2-week break is over! :( Students are coming back. Let the madness ensue. It was nice while it lasted. Pray for me, new school year starts tomorrow. Oy!

TGIF

Thank God, it’s Friday! I haven’t said that phrase in a long time and actually meant it. I’m sooo glad the weekend’s here. I’m going to enjoy my 4-day weekend. HAPPY LABOUR DAY TO ALL!!!
