banana rama ding dong

why oh why does it have to be so difficult to get into shape?? why can't it be attractive and sexy to be pudgy and slightly overweight!?

i'm sure girls were saying the same thing 1000 years ago, but in reverse: "why oh why does it have to be so hard to find food and eat and get fat?!why can't it be attractive and sexy to be underweight and slightly starved?! "

with that said, i am soooo committing food pron right now. yes. i am eating a banana while flipping through pictures of porto's danishes and desserts... oh my good Lord almighty, cream pan who are you and why??!

sigh.

when will you be eaten by me portos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
when!!!!!


oh dear Jesus, Mary, Joseph, save me from my own gluttonous heart!!!


um....baker, will you marry me??
...and then fill my pregnant belly with your baked goods!!???

Why Tim Tebow is a rare treasure of a man...
(super + that he fits all of my non-negotiables):


1. the man knows how to pray.


2. the man loves children & missions abroad.


3. the man loves to laugh!



4. the man knows how to say NO to the ladies.


5. the man can throw a football. (very necessary~)



6. the man is basically a caveman.



7. the man can carry this fatman, therefore he can carry me.
(and spin me on his finger like a pizza)


8. the man is willing to sacrifice himself.



9. the man knows his Bible. and boasts only of Christ! oh the humility!


10. who cares so much about why he's not the greatest offensive QB in the NFL... look at all of his other attributes!

and if he will have me, i am willing to make an exception for his younger than me age... but only because he is twice my weight (245 lbs!!), 10 times holier (Scriptural eye blacks), and 1000 times better at football than me (88 TD's!).

Tebow makes ovaries weep... 

and marriage so sweet!

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


Haiti, hold on to hope!!!

give more gifts!

as i am someone who loves having options, i don't get why people think giving gift cards is such a bad idea as a token or appreciation or love?

some say that it's very thoughtless and a cop out gift, but i say nay! firstly, a gift card is a ticket to freedom and happiness! tis much better than receiving a useless gift! and tis more thoughtful than cash, i suppose. but i don't know anyone who would complain or refuse cash...

i feel great pleasure when i am at the check out line and i can slide my fresh target gift card for a mini shopping spree!!! even if i end up purchasing more unnecessary thing than usual.... free cookies and cereal and nailpolish, oh my! or knowing that my Nordstrom's beauty products will be taken care of for the next season is awesome too! i guess the trick then, is to getting the right gift card for the right person...

i'm a super practicalist when it comes to receiving. i prefer not to get cards or flowers as expressions of love because staring at withering flowers is just depressing and reminds me of the transience of life in general; and cards are only funny when read the first time. pretty much, all useless to me. (i believe words of affirmation are enough to satiate my hunger for affection. besides, words are cheaper and can last an infinite amount of time!) i don't even like to waste money on wrapping gifts when it's just going to get torn up and thrown away...

i do, however, try to consider that others might really enjoy receiving cards or flowers or watever... because i can't force my personal standards on others, now can i? so, please, do inform me if you love the blabber written in cards, or enjoy freshly cut flowers from jia's jia's florist. i will do my best to accommodate to your happiness. :)

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

What is friendship?

i've been exploring this idea in the fleeting months of 2009 and i think i've come close to an answer... friendship is pretty much an all encompassing kind of relationship between people. it's a mix of little bit of dating, a lotta bit of family, a little bit of co-workers, and a little bit of marriage all rolled up into one. i realized recently that for a truly healthy and committed friendship, it takes amazing amounts of affirmation, affection, appreciation, change, effort, time, compromise, understanding, selflessness, forgiveness, and love....

i'm not trying to boast or show off (can't help it if you feel envious though), i must wholeheartedly admit that i am grateful for my two best friends. (and yes, the best is very necessary). and although we have our little stints and moments of frustration with each other, i know that we're in it to win it! home run!!! take it all the way to the bank!!! hibachi!! (k, you get the point...)

it makes my heart so glad knowing that we can adjust, change, and be accommodating to stay a part of each other's lives. (as we get older, it's really hard to stay in touch with people and the numbers dwindle to a handful. am i right??) we share in each other's struggles, no matter how big or how small. we share in each other's successes and joys! we rebuke each other. we really love and accept each other wholly....

wait.... do i even need to make an effort to find a husband at this point? writing this makes me realize that instead, my efforts should be in keeping other men from coming in and stealing these two away from me! my gawd, i've been playing the wrong field this whole time!!

so back to my point.... i believe what we have is singley unique. we 3 are a real tripod. therefore: my next idea is that we should have a lil wedding to make our life-marriage official. hahah! or can we at least cut a cake on a special day each year so we can remind ourselves of this commitment??

2010. you are going to be a great, great year.
