not very creative with the titles... but! today (technically yesterday) was my birthday :) and i am now 21 years old!! kinda weird to acknowledge or say it since i still remember it wasn't long ago when i thought people who were 21 were so old haha i guess in the past i've been very selfish with birthdays. i guess being someone who's not often in a spotlight (at least i don't think sooo??) i always wanted my birthday to be all about ME. but im glad that ive just come to appreciate that God has blessed me with many years and that to celebrate this day i wanted to be a blessing to others instead. idunno if that happened haha but im glad at least i'm beginning to change :) thank you to many people who did make it an awesome weekend including surprise party (which was more a surprise than not a surprise!), treating me to food!, making beautiful cards!, and just being there to make whatever we were doing at the time very fun.
i remember how i wanted to blog about some other random stuff going on but i forgot what it was....

transit geeks
hmm i guess a lot has happened since my first new year post where my daily blogging died down suddenly.
i started my second co-op term, working at metrolinx this time. At first it was preeeetty slow where all i did was read GO documents like different long-term plans, SCHEDULES, and other random reports about transit and transportation. but my manager has come back from England now (he has a british accent and i accidentally spoke in a british accent twice already haha) so i'm getting more work. everyone is super knowledgeable and excited about transit! and i get to know lots of insider information hehe i really have gained a deeper respect for people who work for transit companies... rather than just complaining about bad service!! people work really hard to make sure necessary services are implemented, it's really not that easy!
other than thaaat i went snowboarding and it was really fun! although i haven't improved in a loooong time but definitely very fun and getting to get to know church friends better. same with vball! saw many people this past sunday from vball - many people came i didn't expect and i thiiink this sport i did get better in and had a good and very funny dinner with new and old friends :)
this year i also want to exercise repentance before revival. i realize sometimes i neglect myself (not the same as selfless), my own relationship, and don't reflect on myself.. i need to do that more and to repent of the sins i find in myself so that i can be a better instrument for His good work! anyways really like this song:

started...
reading ender's game. felt strange it didn't have pictures! haha readjusting to reading leisurely with just words...
on another matter, went downtown for a sandwich run and it was pretty interesting. chatted a little and learnt some stuff so it was really interesting! and it's almost 2012 but i don't really feel like it's very crazy that it's a new year or like how i felt before when it's exciting that the year is about to change haha maybe time just feels all the sameee like day to day.
some exciting news (probably only for me)! i won my first dota2 game and it was rather exciting and kinda scary!! but i was very positive at the end andddd it felt good to contribute to the team!
my blogs have less and less real content... what happens when you blog often!

Christmastime.. generic seasonal post title could not think of anythingggg
today someone remarked how i hadn't updated my blog and i admitted i did not blog too often so maybe i shall...
mm not that much has been on my mind recently... just kinda been hanging out or staying at home and stuff. i guess if there's one thing to think about it's that january is approaching really really fast! and i'm kind of nervous for my co-op term cause i'm scared i won't be competent enough in whatever they ask me to do... but we will see!
i've definitely been having a lot of fun i guess being at home and doing not a lot... which is nice after a whole term of school hahah and watching movies! today i watched the cube and it was really stressful cause so much suspense and things that pop up really scare me buuuut i guess in retrospect how they figured it out and the idea of it is interestingggg. i think i had really high expectations of it though which maybe made it worse.
mmm just such mindless rambling! haha i guess i'm glad i'm spending time at homeee :) more time with parents, more time piano playing!, spending less money, and i guess i should go learn more excel things since i'm probably using that a lot next term! kind of exciting and also intimidating.
ooo what was good a couple days ago was baptism on Christmas! always so joyous and happy for all the people that got baptized! very happy and lotsa card writing! i felt very convicted to keep praying for some of the people who got baptized so i hope i don't forget! this also reminds me of what a friend said today and the thing she talked about is really sticking to me because i never realized the truth in what she said cause i never even considered it.. i know i'm being vague.. but yah makes me kind of sad...

getting older
people recently joked about me being old since i'm born early in the year and there are just so many december birthdays! however i recently came across an interesting quote: Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.
It definitely made me kind of think that these simple things i overlook and take for granted yet words like "i wish i wasn't so old!!" easily slip out of my mouth but i don't really know what the implications or the meaning of those thoughts are...
