Wake up, sleeper

bingo noob ~ftw!

*disclaimer: i am not promoting the game mentioned below*

Yesterday my dear grandmother asked me to go with her to the magical creepy world of bingo. I haven’t been there before. Of course I can’t say no to my grandmother. I prayed hard to the Lord for a great tropical storm to come to stop me from going to the bingo place but only light showers arrived.

Lesson 2: I am a student

~^0^

Last Sunday, June 3, 2012 I was privileged to catch sensei online. Mwahaha. So there happened an impromptu lesson which was (supposed to be) scheduled on a different day. We covered quite a lot. Here are my notes.

Right now, I'm practicing kana so there aren't too many romaji here. Gakusei is the word for student, sensei for teacher and yasahi for kind. The kana on the right are sentences: Watashi wa gakusei desu (I am a student); Anata wa sensei desu (You are a teacher); and Anata wa watashi no yasashii sensei desu (You are my kind teacher). LOL. Though I am not very sure with this sentence. Here are my other notes.

Kana Drills

I’ve finally memorized hiragana! But I need more practice since I’m the forgetful type. Sensei gave me a copy of Minna no Nihonggo. Yay. I also found useful resources from all over web 2.0. This channel helped me with the strokes and this page provided kana pages. This site also provided lessons as well as this one. I also found proficiency tests, with MNH as reference.

Here are snapshots from my practice notebook. Kana drills FTW! ~^0^

Date with Maiki-chan

Pizza-chan, tenen!

It's been a habit to go to the mall before going home lately. Today we've almost forgot our bags in the baggage counter. We were happily eating at Frech Baker when angelic creepy sounds started playing 

Rain

As Maiki-chan and I walked under the rain, I paused, looked up the rainy night sky and felt the raindrops on my cheeks. I felt like a happy froggy. *Kokok*

Convergence

The 2012 Regional Convergence was super crazy awesome! It's the first time that LifeBox Los Banos hosted the event. I’m excited for the mighty moving of God in South Luzon. Priviledged to have been a part of it. And I was with Maiki-chan here. I think she was the one who took the picture. Yay!

Gum and Sky Sketch

Dreaming of a magical place unseen and of a story untold! Here are characters for the world of Ido: Gum and Sky -with SJ. I think Gum here is about 14 years old while Sky would be 12. Gum has this potato backpack that looks like a grumpy potato. ^____^

Mails

I love mails! When I was very young I had a thing for letters. My friends back in grade school find it weird and cute. I don’t know. I was a different kid (not sure if in a good or bad beautiful way) but maybe the letters were “ink and paper bridges”. I was not very expressive and affectionate and I thought hugs and kisses were yucky –and I was not very eloquent –so I guess the letters were the best way to communicate my love.

Gift

The beauty of a gift is that it tells something about the giver; just as a story tells something more about the author and not the reader.

Say, a college student’s parents gave her a car as a birthday gift. The car wasn’t given to the daughter because she was awesome. The car actually tells something about

Utmost for my highest

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.  I’ve been mulling over this text for almost a month now.

Reading Galatians 5, I realized a lot of things:

1.       If I try to add up something to my salvation, to become more worthy of that salvation, then what Christ did –I have made worthless. (Galatians 5:2)

2.        If I feel inadequate in righteousness and this feeling of lack pushes me into filling it in by good work (e. g. volunteering, ministry, being a good person), then I have overlooked grace. I wanted to be justified by my own means, it’s as if I don’t acknowledge the complete justification that I have in Christ. (Galatians5:4)
