Morning: Good morning! Wow I can not believe I am officially done high school! Yesterday was my last exam and I was very fortunate to be able to spend the rest of the day after the exam with my best friend from Junior High! I know that she will be leaving for her 2 month camp job tonight, so I would like to wish her a good and fun adventure for these two months! Don't forget to call me when you get back! We must hang out then! Anyways, so about yesterday's awesome adventure. Well we traveled down to downtown by bus and did a little tour adventure of downtown's old church (which was built back in 1912!), then we went to Earls for lunch... (Thanks to my best friend who treated me to that delicious meal!) 'MMM' just thinking about that pasta I had makes my mouth water! After that awesome lunch we took the c-train and went to chinook mall for a movie. Guess what movie we watched? "Karate Kid"! At first when I saw the trailer a few weeks ago, I thought, "hmmm should I give this movie a try..?". Well let me tell you-- I am GLAD I DID! The movie was really awesome. Storyline and Characters were awesome! Jaden Smith is one awesome young actor. Jackie Chan appeared as a very strong and compassionate character..... for those who have yet to see it you must go! A recommended choice! Well I must say, I am still quite tired from all that walking and traveling yesterday, but well at least I know that my Summer break has offically started........

"Take me far away...away to your secret place"

I have only one exam left! FINALLY! Exams sure gives me a lot of stress. But well I am very blessed that I have survived 5 exams already! Praise the Lord! Anyways, so I am still studying for my social studies exam. Right now I am listening to Janice Vidal's "In Love Again" the English version of " 這樣愛你" by Leon Lai (orignal version). This song is very calming and beautiful, a really nice song to study to! I am so tired from all the studying I just wished that it would be like the song--where someone could take me far away to a fanatsy land where you can be carefree and happy!
Anyways, here are the lyrics!
The song is now featured on my blog.

In Love Again Lyrics
When you smile, my life becomes a ray of light
Sing me a lullaby to sleep at midnight
I'll be hypnotized when look into your eyes
Turn off the room light... Let's spend the night

(Chorus)
Take me to far away... Away to your secret place
Take my tears my fears.. Take all my pain
For which I'll repay someday with a kiss and say...
"Cant believe that Í'm in love... in love again

When the stars don't shine and when the birds don't fly
And when the flowers cry and when the rain runs dry
When the violets red and when the rose turn blue
Baby I'll still be in love with you

(Chorus)


Cheers!

Friendship in music



"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
~ Unknown

2010 is going by rather fast ( it has already been 6 months-that's basically half a year!). I've jsut finished 4 exams this past week and am preparing for my last two which will take place next Wednesday and Thursday. However, I have been blessed since I was able to spend time with my awesome O.M.4.G (Our Music For God) band members during my most stressful times. Honestly, when I found out that 2 of my great friends/ band members will be leaving soon after the School year has come to an end I felt sad and I know I will miss these two friends very much. However, at the same time I am rather happy for them. I mean, at least I know they are leaving for a good reason--- to journey on and pursue their dreams. These two friends will be leaving to attend the post secondary that will one day help them set their foundation for their ultimate goal. I wish them the best of luck and that God will guide them through their lifetime.

I have grown so much since band started back in September 2009, I have grown spiritually and faithfully stronger,as well my relationships with my fellow band members have increasingly gotten closer. I thank the lord for letting me meet such great friends in my parish who all share the same interest in music and faith! If you haven't noticed already, I did choose a quote (located at the top of this post) to match my reflection. This has officially become my mosf favorite quote! The first time I saw this quote was when I was at a craftstore looking through the stamps section and I found this quote on one of the stamps. This quote is really awesome and it totally matches the feelings I have towards O.M.4.G. As mentioned, I was able to build strong bonds with my friends and well today I recieved a really strong encouragement from a fellow member that has become and inspiration to me. I will try and do as he mentioned, to write and compose my own music. I know I am not a very good pianist/ musician... but I will try, I will try to make my own song that will express my true feelings towards friendship as well as Jesus the beloved saviour!

I have already decided to make my own english cover of the Korean worship song "
하나님은 너를 지키시는 자". I don't know if I will succeed but I will try my best! Once again, I thank my friend for giving me such a strong encouragement!

Cheers!
