  • I just realized.. there was over a month gap before my last couple posts and the one before that. CRAZY!! I guess I just didn't feel like blogging. It just didn't cross my mind or perhaps just nothing I felt the need to document via blog.

    Anyhoo.. I'm back for now... sorta. And since then I have become an aunt!! Finally a REAL aunt like many have pointed out. I don't mind though because it is so true. However, as great as it is to have a real nephew, my other niece/nephews are just as dear to me as Alexander is, if not more at the moment just because they've been in my life much longer than Alex has. On Saturday night after Ivy's baby shower and going to visit Alex at the hospital, I went to hang out at Johnny's parents place with Johnny, Annie, Jojo and Jane. OMG... I always cherish the times I get to play with Joanne and see how much she is growing every week! My heart practically melted when she prayed for me, ah-yi "Krina", before she went to bed. She just.. prayed on her own! She prayed that God would heal me. Although I wasn't sick or anything.. it really touched me because.. I think we all need some sort of healing at all times so it really spoke to me... especially because it was coming from a child. Maybe I just really believe in prophecies and that God can speak through anyone, even children.

    Anyway... going to try to keep my promise to sleep at midnight. Gonna finish the rest of this up. I may be late a couple minutes though. :X

    Been going to Hillsong NYC for the last couple Sundays. I'm really enjoying it. I almost didn't go today cause I was soooo tired for some reason. Almost fell asleep while driving there, but I pushed through all the traffic, the difficulties of finding parking and got there.

    Last week (9/18) while waiting in line for the 7pm service to start I met a girl named Sarah Evans. She was really cool and we just go to talk about whatever. Found out she was a producer for that show "Too Fat for 15". Coolest part was that she was from the U.K. and had an accent. We sat together through service then parted ways. I gave her my e-mail, but I don't know if she'll ever find me. She was going back home the next day until she comes back to get married to her NY fiance. I hope she does find me though. I was a little sad for her to find out that her fiance wasn't a Christian, but at least he lets her do her own thing and go to church. It was really sad for me to hear though. I was like "but what about when you have children?" and she was just fine with that and them finding their own way. To each their own, I guess, but as a caring sister, I wanted more for her, even if I just met her. She seemed to be a "baby" Christian too. We'll see what happens I guess.

    Today I went to the 5pm service. As hard as it was to get there, I'm glad I went. There was only standing room left so I stood throughout the entire thing. I was wearing new boots too so it was a bit difficult, but I got through that too. Met a guy named Alex who stood next to me during service. Used to live in Montvale, NJ but now lives in the city near Grand Central I believe and works in Connecticut doing something with finance. I think he was Korean. Good looking guy. haha.. but aside from the 4 minutes that Hillsong gives people to "meet and greet" we basically just parted way at the end of service.

    There's something about Pastor Carl Lentz when he speaks. I'm slightly uncomfortable just because I'm not used to it, but at the same time I love it. He's doing a 3-part series about "Church in the Wild". I hope I get to go next week to finish it up. Anyway... while I couldn't tell you everything that he's been saying, it has been really challenging for me and given me things to think about. He's been saying things I need to hear, challenging me. I think it's exactly what I need right now, in this time in my life. I hope that I really do try to get something out of it though and not just forget. I"m so scared that I will though and that this is just a passing thing. I pray not.

    Aside from the message, it's been fun and exciting going and not knowing who I will meet each time. It's been fun meeting new people. So far they seem to just be acquaintances, but even so.. it's just nice to meet new people in a different, but still safe environment.

    Okay okay, I gotta stop and go to bed. I started this post before 12am, I promise. Still really want to try this whole sleeping early/waking up early thing.
