| 13 weeks of misery has made this boy into a man... hardened hands and heart, miles of endless roads traveled and conquered, burned and refined by the Crucible's fire - a United States Marine was born... a warrior designed to win wars.
Being home seems surreal... like a passing dream so pleasant, almost too good to be real. the days will pass too quickly before i find myself back in the trenches... but till then, i intend to enjoy familiar faces and places to the greatest extent.
Call me on my cell phone if you want to hang out.

| this entry is for debbie, who has been hassling me about my rather empty xanga. i have fallen victim to the facebook addiction, but other than that, life has been good. no complaints.
i will elaborate more on my life situation after i return from my church retreat this coming sunday. so goodbye for now, and yes, i am talking solely to you debbie.

| every time i believe i got everything figured out and have a handle on life...
God throws a monkey wretch into it. previously, i ll be like "YO GOD! what are you doing?! don't you want me to be happy?! Why are you so mean..." and i would try with all my might to "fix things" or "plan life out."
and recently, i have been asking God to mold me, shape me, break me... whatever it took to make me walk the path He wants. I said this in my prayers, but never took to heart. now i am... or at least trying to.
every new day brings new challengers. i have to put my faith and hope in God and that everything works out. but that doesn't mean i should sit on my hands and do nothing... i ll do what i can and do the best at what i do, but always remember the underlying purpose: God's will...

| i havent updated this thing in ages... haha but not like anyone really reads it. xanga serves more as a place to put down my thoughts in words and the occassional smiley face.
life has been good to me. a part of me is afraid that one morning i ll wake up and see that everything was a dream... last night, i found myself on my knees, praying to God thanking Him for everything... the words just flowed. i know to some, i may sound like a raving mad man. that is ok.
one of my friends came up to me and said, "sebastian, you got skinny?! what happened?!"
am i suppose to be offended or complimented by that?! haha. but i did realize i have lost about 30 pounds since last june.

| a lot has happened in the recent days and weeks.
i got waitlisted by UPenn and Johns Hopkins... rejected by Tufts and Stanford. *drumroll...* however, i got into University of California Berkeley by the Bay Area which is AWESOME. i m loving it. but the bad news is that i won't be going until the spring after my half of year of basic training and infantry training until like decemeber of 2007. pray for me guys i will need the strength more than ever.
on a lighter note, life has been good to me. recent months have been stressful and painful with the car accident, school, and a lot of internal turmoil. but the Lord blesses you in both hardships and in joy. i am a better person for all those hard sleepless nights.
i find myself finally at peace with the world. i find myself smilin a lot more as i focus on the greater and simpler things in life... friends, family, God, love... beautiful, truly beautiful. school is still hard and stressful, but it is ok. got to take the good with the bad.
oh and tennis is my stress relieving. runnin is my torture, but it gets me back into shape. in the words of my beloved, Hope&Faith.
