Loving those who actually need it

Then check this out!
If more than 3 billion people in the world live off less than $2USD a day, then even the poorest of us "Americans" can't claim we're poor. It breaks my heart that as I wonder what will happen in the future of my life, these people wonder if they will even make it to the end of the day alive. I'm gonna do what I can and give up my luxuries for their sake. I can't help but just have compassion for all these. I'm gonna connect with Children's Hunger Fund (because they are the best and 99.4% of everything they receive goes straight to the aiding them). I'm going to strive to give 50% of what I thought was my oh-so-dear "engineering salary." Loving your neighbor as yourself does not mean to just be convicted or feel bad for them. It means doing something. I'm not going to just talk about being Christian, that so many of us do, but show my Christianity, which so many of us lack.

Motorcycles

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:19:17 GMT

So a lot of my friends and I have motorcycle licenses, and I mean a lot... and they have all started getting bikes... I'm lagging in the game. I really miss riding... it's been 2 yrs... eh... when i get a house, i'll buy one...
you will be mine one day

P.S.: I've really gotten into wavorly, check them out, really good, concert on friday in san jose... too bad i'm gonna miss it...

To my future wife:

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:19:31 GMT

To my future wife,

Day after day, I pray for you. I just wanted you to know I pray that God would prepare you and me for the day we meet, that we would be so in love with Him that we would settle for nothing less than extraordinary.

I pray that you would become a Godly woman, a woman that would be held in high regard, a woman that many others would partake as their role model, a woman who speaks with the utmost wisdom, who seeks it continuously. I ask God that you would be the one of Proverbs 31:10-31, a noble woman.

I pray that I would desire to make the purpose of my life to worship God and to live for the benefit of you. I desire to find you, to meet you and know you, that I would be the one to love you forever, as the church is so dearly loved by God, because the church is Christ's bride.

I pray that we will both patiently wait for each other, so it would be that more special: the first time that I would hold your hand, the first time I would look into your eyes, the first time i would brush the back of my hand across your cheek...

I pray for you everyday with my whole heart, I just wanted you to know.

Sincerely Yours,
Everest Liu

Work and Relationships

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 01:59:47 GMT

So i've worked for a week now, and it's great and everything, but it seems that if this is now my life, everyday... wow, i gotta keep myself from becoming complacent. Thx for all those of u who prayed for me, those in korea and the many hundred ppl here in the US, it's great to have family like you, i am so blessed.

Now i can see why my parents were pushing me to date in college, cuz when you start working, you barely have enough free time for yourself... and i don't even know what it would be like to be in a relationship now... now i see why God planned the last girl i asked out to end up being my friend instead, he was prepping me for now, which i'm totally fine with, cuz at least i have no obligation to call her everyday or every other day, we can just talk freely whenever, and that's great!

my cousin said i should go to his church and meet one of the hundred or so whatever cute single girls there, haha... funny guy he is... i think i gotta concentrate on work for at least a few weeks first and get into the swing of things before i think about the relationships part...

i've been writing quite a bit of music lately, good stuff... i miss playing in a band... and seeing my friends everyday... and it'd be nice to perform at an art & wine festival again (=

Cars ;)

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:34:00 GMT

So for the last 4 months, i've been thinking about which car to get for a first car. Most of you know, my first choice was the Saturn Sky Redline, a nice turbocharged roadster. It was my top choice for awhile:

then i looked at so many cars it's crazy, some out-of-budget-range cars i really really wanted included the audi r8 and the mercedes mclaren SLR

of course these are extremely expensive and would be 2 yrs of income untaxed... so i scrapped that idea... wait hold on tho! because this is the car i want above all others:

now i've been convinced by a former student's father to go BMW, so i checked out the bmw site, and low and behold, the new BMW 135i comes out next year! i want i want! that was pretty much my final decision, but it doesn't come out till spring... but gah! that thing is crazy sexy! 6inline 300HP, 300lb/sqin, twin turbo, and power comes in at a very low rpm, no turbo lag... i'm in love... IN LOVE!!!

but what to do till it comes out?! i've decided that i think i want to buy a certified pre-owned BMW M3, drive it for a couple of years, then when the BMW 135i is cheaper and the bugs are worked out, then i'll sell the M3 and buy a 135i, unless the M1 comes out... mind you that the 1 series is much lighter than the 3 series, thus the power ratio is beautiful!, i'm not sure what year M3 yet, depends on many things, so I'll put up a picture of the M3 that i CAN'T afford:

ENJOY! (= I will drive that sexy beast one day (=

Possible New Missions Field

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 03:23:04 GMT

So I have my first interview on Friday and I'm kinda nervous because I don't remember a lot of the technical stuff if they ask me to design something during the interview... but I'll catch up and trust God. If i get the job, then that will be my new missions field, if not, then God wants me to share the Gospel somewhere else. please PLEASE pray for me... here is the job description:

Optical R&D Engineer
Responsible for design and implementation of various optical components, including fiber connectors, couplers, and EO/OE transceivers. Will setup and conduct experiments, build prototypes, and perform related optical/electrical measurements based on custom requirements.
The successful candidate has a minimum of BS degree in EE/Physics/Optics, and at least 2 years practical experience with an emphasis on fiber optical component and devices. Must be a team player

I've never had an interview that included technical engineering questions, but I guess I'm a little excited because I have like not too much money left so I need a job... and I need health insurance because since I'm not a student anymore, my dad's won't cover me anymore.

I'm hoping for $60k minimum for salary so let's hope this will provide that! Cuz i got rent and bills... and I sure wouldn't mind finally having my own car... so nervous! I'm glad I've had training through Campus Crusade, because now I'm prepared to share my faith with others so that they might not see death on judgment day, but rather start a personal, intimate relationship with God that gives fullness of joy and peace
