Dido' '09-'10
It's a new year for Didomi and I'm REAL jealous of those who are on committee 'cuz I want to help out in Dido' for my last year in highschool...which also means my last year @Dido' TT ^ TT but ofcourse I shouldn't feel this way because I'm probably not prepared to serve for God and that's why I'm not chosen to help out on committee.
I guess I can still serve... out in the background, with the small stuff.

The Day is at Hand
Live each day as your last day.
I've always lived by this principle since the first day I truely accepted Christ as my Saviour. This is because Christ is coming! To add more to that, you never know when the LORD wants you to kick the bucket. Your life is under GOD's hands. It makes it sound like GOD is a not loving GOD and you would have to listen to him to stay alive and well but GOD has already given us so much. "Much" defies the "free will" we've been given from the LORD! Of all the creatures around the world which probably adds up to more than a billion, humans are the only creatures known to have intelligence and creativity. We can make our own choices and know what we're doing. This is because we have free will. We can Choose Jesus (*laughs* VBS 2008 motto *laughs*) or not. We don't have to follow the LORD. Isn't that aready paradise. We can do whatever is on our mind even deedds that cause us to sin. Sin is the one untangible price that costs us to die...spiritually. Life isn't only on Earth but also after the Earth. Our soul will go elsewhere after "life" on Earth and there are only two chices. They are either heaven or hell, white or black, good or evil. There aren't any grey areas or silver linings. (*gospel) Believing in silver linings is equivalent to lying to yourself. You're blindly driving your life into the carcrash of hell. Have you accepted Christ yett? If so, live like it is your LAST DAY. Tell others of the gospel. You must be REAL selfish if you keep such good news to yourself. The LORD tells us to LOVE Him and LOVE others before yourself.
(*gospel)
To prevent us from going to hell or death, the LORD sent his only son. to die for us. In many cultures, the son of the family is the "gold" of the family. God is precious. Why would the LORD send us his only son to die on the cross?...for us? The cross was one of the most painful ways to die. This is because you had to wait with great suffering till you bled to death. Your hands were nailed on each side of the cross and your feet nailed together at the bottom. It is a very uncomfortable position and very difficult to pull yourself upward to make breathing easier since the nails would keep on digging deeper up your foot. The legs of the convicted would sometimes be smashed till their bones were broken so that the convicted couldn't pull themselves up ward to make breathing easier. The crowd would come and watch the convicted die sometimes mock, sometimes mourn. Most of the time the people would mock and laugh at the convicted. This is how Jeusus was treated. Jesus could've made us suffer with him on the cross but he asked the LORD to forgive us.
(Luke 23:34)
"Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.'"
On the ninth hour after Jesus was crusified, he died to save us from death. It seems sad that a sinless being, GOD, would die on the cross and Satan or more famously known as the devil had won the battle between good and evil. However a beautiful and joyful event happened. Those who accepted Jesus Christ as their saviour, were relieved from the chains of sin and were reborn again Christian with eternal life.

Praise GOD everyday right? but why is it that it's so difficult to find something to thank HIM for and type it out?
I'm really sidetracked right now on my faith or beginning to sidetrack. I'm really distracted at church now-a-days which isn't a "good" sign. It's really hard to "quiet-down-my-heart" or concentrate during the sermon and during worship on Sundays. I'm always thinking about something else. DISTRACTED! GAH! I'm also constantly mind wandering during VBS too, which isn't the best ofcourse because I should be serving whole heartedly for HIM.
I'm upset at myself for being such a stink to not be able to concentrate and worship wholeheartedly for HIM.

OMY!!!! A REALLY REALLY COOL THING HAPPENED TODAY! I had to go bus to work today and I was really REALLY late for work...ish-ish 'cuz I didn't finish the present. I was planning to leave Saki's house @ 4:15 PM and catch the earlier Kennedy bus but I left at around 4:30-ish instead. LOL it was really fun finding the way to Mainstreet through the maze Saki lives in. So after I got onto Mainstreet I walked all the way to HWY 7 and then to Kennedy which is where the peach tree centre was. I really REALLY prayed hard that I wouldn't miss the bus so that I would arrive at work @ 5:00 PM or a time that isn't that late from that time. I was really scared I missed the bus but when I got to the HWY 7 - Kennedy intersection, the Kennedy bus came * O * and this reminds me of a Bible verse which is always in my wallet xD (I have a slip of paper of the Bible verse but I don't remember where I got it : S)
Here's the Bible verse:1 John 5:14-15
14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
And the funny thing was that I read the bible verse before I went to Saki's house!
PRAYER WORKS!
PRAISE THE LORD!

NOWHEREGOD

NOWHEREGOD - MYV
NO WHERE GOD or NOW HERE GOD
どっちでもいーけど明日を開くのは自分しか出来ねーから
頼ってもあんまり意味ねーわなハハ。
ただ言えるのは「俺はスゲーよ」って
笑って言えるくれぇーの自信が必要だっちゅーの
自分を信じるって事だよ Aight u know?
信じるも信じぬも It's up to you babe お前次第
十字きるも、手合わせるも
i dont care about it 好きにするがいいさ
ただ神様も仏様も They're above the clouds 雲の上でしょ
期待して、ハズレても It's nobody's fault で、誰がケツ拭くの？
神様はそう、いつだって NO responsibility.
NO WHERE GOD or NOW HERE GOD
強く在れ らしく在れ できるはず できるだろ。
どうしたよ急に神頼み Oh my godって そんな愛が欲しい？
って、そんな簡単にもらえんなら欲しい俺も for U １００円から
ったく年がら年中 神様、神様
祈ってるわりに終わらないWAR クソな政治家の神は円や
er
お前が信じるのは神じゃない、
そして俺でもない on yourself そう、お前自身。
何を信じるべきかWHERE IS GOD 心の中にいるじゃん
ってか、いつも気づくかどうかは自分次第さ
自分しか見る事できないじゃん？
だから一回見てみなよin your heart 叫ばなくてもそこにいんのさ
だから居るとか居ねーとか関係ねぇ 神様は俺様☆ なんてね
サンタの顔 思い出すの u remember that? クリスマスだけ
朝もはよからお参りするの Only New year's day 初詣だけじゃん。
ねぇ？(笑)
---------------------------------------------------
TRANSLATION:
NOWHEREGOD - MYV
Whatever it is, only you can open tomorrow. Being too dependent has no meaning at all. All I can say is "I'm cool". To have the confidence to laugh and say that, is to believe in oneself.
Believe it or not, it's up to you babe, it's up to you. Even with the cross, even if you hold your hands together. I don't care about it, do whatever you like. But God or Buddha, they're above the clouds, they're above the clouds. Even if you expect, if it missed, it's nobody's fault. Who's going to wipe away the blood?
God is always like, yeah, no responsibility.
No where god, now here's god
No where god, now here's god
If you can get god so simply, I want god too, and here's 100 yen for you.
Blah, year after year, it's always God, God. To pray in proportion, war that never ends, shitty politician's god is money.
That thing that you believe in is not God, and it's not me either. On yourself, yeah, it's you, yourself.
What should you believe? Where is God? It's inside your heart, isn't it?
With that said, to notice it will depend on yourself. It's something that you alone only can see. So, look into your heart again, it's there and you don't have to shout. So whether it exists or not, it's not important, god is me (なんてね - joking).
The face of Santa, can you try to recall it, you remember that? only in Christmas.
The only time you visit the shrine is on new year's day, right? (hahaha)
---------------------------------------------------
These are pretty bad lyrics. I've been waiting for the translations to come out for a while. *laughs* I can't believe I actually bought the CD Album with this song in it...well I didn't listen to the songs before I bought the album which is what I do now *laughs* Believe it or not I usually buy the albums I download now xD Hehe I'm not a music stealer V ^ ^ V
I wonder why he (MYV) wrote this song? It's sad to know that even he doesn't know GOD. Well I'm sure lots of people don't know the LORD but atleast believe that there is a GOD. But why would he not believe that there is no GOD? This is actually really funny although it's sad ><" I thought people in jP would atleast believe that there is a GOD with those shinto temples and that wishing card and water. *laughs* I've actually been praying for MYV. It's funny 'cuz I probably won't meet him and he IS one of those Celebs that everyone fans over but I still prayed for him. I want him to know that there IS a GOD that loves him and the world. Too bad I can't do anything but sit...wait...pray. I don't even know jP *laughs* what can I do about this and according to Pastor Tim's sermon, jP doesn't allow missionaries into the country. Well...I just pray for MYV that he will find the LORD somehow. It seems IMPOSSIBLE and weird 'cuz he IS a Celeb. but in GOD's hands and power it will be possible it is just if we accept his grace and I hope MYV will find this grace.
PRAY FOR MYV!
PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE IN JP!
PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE IN ASIA!
But till then...
NERD TIME!
Who's dorkiest?

RESCUE
copied from my xanga.
I don't know why but when I read the lyrics to the song I sorta related it to the night where Didomi analysed the lyrics of not Christian songs. I thought that this song could be related to how JESUS died on the CROSS for us to SAVE us from our sins and death. I thought the song was like a conversation between CHRIST and US. *laughs* although none of the singers in KAT-TUN are Christians. I'd like to analyse more but hehe I'll just highlight the parts that seemed like CHRIST talking and US talking. *laughs* and the beat boxing part didn't really go through my mind about the conversation but it'd be SICK if JESUS beatbox : D
RESCUE - KAT-TUN
CHRIST
US
BOTH
Ya'll ready? Listen up!
I’m not scared,
Until my heartbeat's gone,
I’ll rescue you.
I don’t wanna cry alone
I don’t wanna cry alone
We'll survive
I don’t wanna cry alone
Help me out Search my light
Please take me back home
I don’t wanna cry alone
Into blaze Lost in maze
Someone call my name
I don’t wanna cry alone
I didn't think I would live for someone's sake
Something this lovable and precious
I found it for the first time
I don’t wanna cry alone
Help me out Search my light
Please take me back home
I don’t wanna cry alone
Into blaze Lost in maze
Someone call my name
I don’t wanna cry alone
I don’t wanna cry alone
I can hear your voice from the slightest crack
I'm worried it may go away even as the darkness draws near
Because you are here
I don’t wanna cry alone
Help me out Search my light
Please take me back home
I don’t wanna cry alone
Into blaze Lost in maze
Someone call my name
I don’t wanna cry alone
U wanna help me? Then call my name
Risk the meaning of life Ha! Ha! Ha! Big up!
Rescue U, you are already free, so I’ll tell you, U don't cry alone (too)
It’s tough? (you say) High & Low (You)
Walk my road (the middle) Go & Go
If something happens, I’ll be runnin' up 4 U
You could say just having you here makes me high
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Running up, I’m running
Call my name...
(Ladies & gentlemen, it's my beatbox)
I want to guard your smiling face
So much...
I don’t wanna cry alone
Help me out Search my light
Please take me back home
I don’t wanna cry alone
Into blaze Lost in maze
Someone call my name
I don’t wanna cry alone

Into blaze Lost in maze
Someone call my name
I don’t wanna cry alone

Leadership Program
copied from my xanga.
The leadership program was just as I expected except the fact there weren't that many Asians ><" (sorry! not trying to be racist!) 'cuz I thought more nerds would be there *laughs* and nerds as in Asians *laughs* *pushes up glasses* I learned more about leadership/ways/methods of leading. I also got to share with others...not really bond with pplz but share nevertheless. I was able to evangelize to 2 people which was pretty COOL! actually. I thought I wasn't going to be able to do this *laughs* 'cuz my dad told me not to put religion into the program. I tried reaL hard but I guess I can't hide my light and saltiness in the world. NaCl will always taste salty, never sweet. *laughs* I evangelized to a school friend NOT a stranger, which was pretty surprising 'cuz I thought I would rather share the gospel with a stranger than a semi-close friend. I started off sharing with her by asking: "Do you want to do devos with me?" and so we did devotions together and I was able to explain the confusing text and questions she had about Christianity...well I tried as hard as I could to explain it and make it more understand-able? *laughs* and this time I actually wasn't as forcefull and dictorship-ish as I used to be and shared the gospel with them in a soft way. (btw the bible verse was in James 1:?? [goes along the lines of quick-to-listen-but-slow-to-speak]) Hopefully I planted a seed in their life and that they will ask me more about Christianity in a good way that doesn't debate with me? *laughs*
I was very inspired today by my cousin *laughs* I saw him drive home from math class and it was so COOL! (well actually it isn't 'cuz I see my dad and my aunt drive every-single-day) but I want to learn how to drive now since I saw that someone that is as old as me/in same grade/w/e can drive * O *" Hopefully I can get my G1 in May! *laughs*
Dido' Directory hasn't been going so well lately. I really want to get the directory out to Didomi by May!!! That's my goal and I have to juggle that with French and Math and Biology (I absolutely don't care about Comm. Tech. anymore =____=") I'm going to have a couple of quizes, tests, and projects this month from those subjects which is pretty sad. I'll try to put directory in first priority. *laughs* The first thing I have to do is call Timothy, I keep on forgetting or pushing it later xP Me badd.

Can I be a healer?
I've been recieving the same message for 2 days already. Is it just coincidence? I hope I don't interpret this in the wrong way again.
Listening to Pastor Tim's sermon on Sunday and reading a devotion last night and reading another devotion today that all had the same meaning is kinda...coincidence?
I was also wondering about Pastor Tim's sermon. I wonder if it was related to "Swine flu" *laugh* I never heard of it till yesterday ><" Pretty sad actually...now I think I'm going to become germaphobic *laugh*
I wonder if we do stand amongst the midst of all the people who have swine flu and suddenly the flu will stop spreading. Be pretty interesting actually to see that. I'll just pray about it since I'm no doctor and can't do anything about it.
James 2: 15-16 (NIV) - 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
I just hope I make the right choices this time and speak slowly and be quick to listen!
