| had a pretty good weekend. friday, i went on a date! ok it was krystle,
but it was just as fun..love you! =) then we sang karaoke and i found
out a few things: timmy and sam are mic hogs  ,
armando isn't too gangsta to sing, earl sounds like michael
jackson..when he was in the jackson 5 (which is pretty cool if you ask
me)  , "its raining men" is a horrible song, and singing "i will survive" is pretty therapeutic.
today, sam, andrea, jenn (fr. davis) had lunch at cheesecake and
shopped downtown. you need to come back and pllllllay with us! 
"just take life one day at a time." - a wise friend. i know it may
sound so cliche, but i really took it to heart. i thought i could come
back to sf and tackle life head on, but it was harder than i thought.
so i'm done trying to force it - and i'm gonna take things day by day.
no need to rush. i feel much better already. life is such a
beautiful gift from God, and it's time to see the bright side of things
again.

| hello.
so i was telling kim i wanted to update my xanga, because i haven't
done so in awhile. i felt like i had a lot to say, but it just
sounded stupid saying them. i realized, however, that writing in lists
helps me collect my thoughts..so bear with me. 
1. i need to spend more time by myself.
not just "by myself" but really truly sitting and being still. it hit
me a little while ago, that ever since this past summer - i always made
sure i was surrounded by people or i was on the go. it's weird, because
i used to looove spending time by myself. its kinda hard for me
to do it now, because when i do - i just think and think and think
about things. then i get upset, or depressed, and the cycle starts all
over again until someone rescues me from my misery (haha it's not that
bad). but yeah, i need to do that more. i've realized though, i've been
able to do it in small doses. in the car before work, etc. ok next.
2. blue like jazz. i've started
reading this book called blue like jazz, which is "a nonchristian
perspective on spirituality". it's good so far..but then again, i'm
only on chapter 2.
3. boys can be poopy. but they
can be cool too. i didn't realize until i broke up with an awesome guy
what scumbags are out there. i think i'm boycotting boys.
well. for awhile at least. because i DO want to get married someday.
4. i love my job. contrary
to popular belief, being a teller is freaking hard work. man. but it's
challenging, and i love it. i wanna be a teller forever! umm just
kidding. but i really do love my coworkers. we had dinner at buca di
beppo last night and yeahhhhhh it was mucho fun.
5. God really does answer prayers. ohhh
man, it was so weird. so today i was in my car before work, and i was
just praying that God would give me a way to share about him at work
today. i mean, i know we always have chances, but i never really know
how to just DO it. so i asked for a tangible way to share, and so today
i was just in the break room talking to my coworker about something
really random (ok ok i remember now, it was about tattoos) and we
started talking about God from it. it was pretty cool.
6. i am so blessed. even
through all the crap that has happened lately, i'm happy to say that
i've come out of it with a sincerely greatful heart. because in the
end, i know that God has still got my back. oooohhhhhhh yeah babbbby!
i guess the list DID help. 
goodbye.

| i know it's been such a long time since i wrote in here, but i guess it's time to break my silence, haha. i never really had anything to say up until now i guess, and it's not like it's super important now anyway. i guess just the past few months or so, i've gone through so much and learned a lot too. i feel like i've grown up within the past month and it's kinda interesting to see. if there was anything i wanted to share though, it would be some lessons that i've really experienced/learned this summer
1. change can be terrifying, but essential.
2. diamonds may be forever, but promises sometimes aren't.
3. all actions have consequences, even if not right away.
4. honesty and communication in a relationship are so key.
5. the human heart is so wicked and decietful. (thanks norm and jeremiah)
6. there are more important things in life than work. (i know this is a duh, but sometmes you just forget)
7. God always always has a plan even better than what you can imagine, so there's no use in being upset or angry or etc..=)
take my photo off the wall, if it just won't sing for you.
cause all that's left has gone away
and there's nothing there for you to prove. | | |
| oh yeah my new email address is joanna.u@gmail.com. =) | | |
| i feel like i'm at a crossroads right now. i can go one of two ways, and i'm not really sure which one to choose. i'm trying to hear what God is telling me, but as of right now - i think i need to just listen harder, because i can't hear it. =p
i feel like a horrible person because i know which one i SHOULD choose, but it's hard. i think my brain has just about shut off and i'm in denial mode. that what's happening, isn't in fact, happening.
and often times we're lazy
it seems to stand in my way
cause no one - no not no one - likes to be let down | | |
