the other nite, on my way home, i was flippin channels and heard "i can only imagine" by mercy me, so i stopped channel surfin. when i looked down at the radio face, it said, 101.3. whoa...never would've thot that 101.3 would play a christian song. it got me thinkin to back in november when i was going thru my eye problems. i had just gotten the cd and at that time, the only thing i could do while face down on the couch was listen to music. and that song really had me thinkin and praying. what if all the procedures i was going thru didn't work out and i would be blind? will i be able to handle that? how would i feel? how would i feel about the first thing i'd be able to see ever again, be heaven? ahhh, yes, made me thankful that God thot it best for me to heal completely.

I Can Only Imagine
by Bart Millard

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine

CHORUS:
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine

repeat chorus


onto other things, *sigh* yesterday, sandy, nat, saki, josie, and daniel's grandma went to the hospital. daniel came home from work and found her on the floor. while in er, they said she'd need to see a cardiologist. that dr scheduled a surgery for this morning to place a pacemaker in her. the dr says that it's absolutely needed. too much for this week. *ai-yah* tuesday cant' come soon enough....HAWAII....

food for thot: prayer is often a contest between angels who minister and demons who hinder. Prayer unanswered is not always prayer denied. Sometimes it is prayer delayed through invisible spiritual activity. ~"World Prayer"

whew! what a week! today was a very loooonnnnggggg day. yesterday, worked and then got last minute stuff together for saki and sid's wedding. went to sleep around 3:30 and got up around 7. headed to san ramon, the bridges golf course to set up chairs w/ daniel, drea, maggie, val, and dad. it was 8:30 am and 89 friggin degrees. blah. set up the chairs...finished around 11 and since i didn't hafta be at the church till 1:45, went to auntie meadine's house to chill for a bit and take a shower. ate lunch, took a 15 minute nap then rushed to the church cuz dad was late since he picked up courtney...but it was otay. set everything up. it was so outrageously hot. ughhh! and the church had NO AC!! killed us all! not everyone showed up to the church i think cuz it was so friggin hot. i felt badly for all the guys cuz they were all in suits and tuxs. ewwwww...nasty....sweaty! i was supposed to be at bridges by 6 to connect w/ the dj to go over the evening's agenda, but one of the girls at the church was pretty rude and i had to stay behind. originally i thot i'd hafta worry about fiona, the "mean" lady. but she was really nice and totally helped and we got along great. so neways, mom, dad, and i were the only ones still at the church cleaning and packin the last minute stuff up. i was at the car and dad asked me what the policy on cleaning the church was. i told him i had no idea cuz fiona didn't tell me anything about that. then he says that the girl told him the place was trashed and EVERYONE left it there. he says, well, i'm still here and it's not that messy. so i go back in to grab more stuff and i hear her fiance [who helped us out w/ av] tell her to "walk out that door and fix that attitude. walk out right now and fix it." WHOA! hahahahhaa...so she storms out and i just continue packing stuff up. then i go into the sanctuary and start grabbing random papers that are around. most of which weren't part of the wedding, but in their pews for church. then i help the girl's lil sister scrape wax off the altar and dad comes in and tells me to forget it and go and he'll do it. so that whole ordeal delayed me 15 minutes. i didn't get to bridges till 6:45. sheeesh....

so i get to bridges, meet up w/ the dj and the event coordinators of bridges and go over some changes in the schedule. the event coordinator was a lil worried that we wouldn't be able to really keep it to schedule. she thot we'd be a lil late. but we made it and served dinner on time! YESS! and everything goes pretty smoothly. i start talking to one of the groomsmen, who happends to have the same name as someone else...and i notice that he has cute dimples, really pretty and unusual eyes for a chinese guy. the outter ring is a dark brown but the inner part is like a hazel almost golden color. hmmm...interesting...but very pleasant looking! ;) at my table were just tony, theo, ben, val, and the photographer and his assistant. all i hafta say about our table...MIDORI SOURS and LONG ISLAND ICED TEA hahahahhahaha! mmmm =P so we go thru the rest of the program and then dancing! wheee!!! and i could've danced w/ ALL the cute guys at the dinner, but tony, theo, and ben left early ;) hahahahahhahahahhaa...nah, it's all good. lol, mom points out that brian has really pretty eyes AND cute dimples [and i say, i know...i've already taken notice ;)] ahahahhahahaha! then pat tells me that he's, in his [pat's] words, "single and can bling." HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA! he has a steady job w/ ING, works w/ the youth at his church and is part of this travelling sing/dance/theatre group. hahahahahaa...then he goes, he's too old for you so don't even think of it. he's sid's age so that's like eleven years between us, but he doesn't LOOK that old. more like 25-ish. i was just laughing...yeah, WHATEVER PAT. so then drea and maggie drag me out on the dance floor and we start dancin w/ fran and val. w/ lawrence, jhalal, and aaron standing next to us just laughing and watching. everyone's just movin around dancin...they're playin like 70's and 80's disco stuff... and then brian suddenly appears and says, hey, dance w/ me. so we all just dance in like this big circle makin fun of how will dances...dangg...you should see this guy. so funny! hahahaha, awww, but will's cool, i luv will. i look around the dance floor and i suddenly stop. cuz sid's GRANDMOTHER is dancin with the rest of us. and i don't mean like swaying...but JUMPING and shakin her skinny lil butt on the dance floor. my jaw totally dropped. and she didn't just dance for a few mintues...she danced for like 15-30 minutes! YMCA, disco, rap, and all! hahahahahha! that's one cool grandma! then saki tells me to tell the dj that it's time for the last dance, so i had to go to dj and tell him. awww! cuz i still wanted to dance w/ drea, maggie, fran, and ok, brian. hahahahaha i start clearing off the tables and instead of playing the last song, "you're still the one" he plays "the last dance." it's a fast song and then lawrence says, aww, come on mich, you wanna dance, i know you do...come on...so we dance. after it's over, we go clear tables off and then "you're still the one" comes on. i wanted to dance it w/ brian but he didn't ask and i had to finish cleanin up. awwww...ohs wells. i did get a hug before i left tho ;) hahahahahhahahaa

now, ppl are sayin, so you coordinate weddings?! COOL! and i say, wellll...no, not really. cuz i didn't really do alot for the wedding. karen, josie and saki pretty much had it covered. in actuality, i don't feel like i did much. it was fun tho. my feet killed me. arrrrhhhh...death be to the GUY who created heels. they were fine most of the day. didn't start hurting till i got to the dinner. blah. hecka funnyy....sid was kinda sluggish cuz daniel, drea, and some other guys kept trying to get him to take shots...i think by the 3rd, he was kinda funky. hahahahhahahhaa

ok, so now, i'm READY for my vacation. can't come soon enough. i need a break. especially after this year....who would've thot that i'd have so many health related issues? weird, cuz i'm normally so healthy and normal. normal, what's that? i'm not normal! ahahhahahaha, ok, yeah, mich needs SLEEP now....well, first, i need a shower, i stink...and i'm sweaty. GROSS. ok, peace out. *muah*
