The Best Sister In The World

Nineteen years ago, God blessed me with the most wonderful sister in the world. :D I'm sorry guys, she's meant to be my sister. haha :p

Today, is the 19th birthday of my younger sister, April Lei. She's the youngest in our family and we're like one year apart. She's pretty, like me. lol. Here's a picture of her: (She's gonna kill me when she sees this because I'm showing her photo in the world wide web. I hope not. lmao)

Me and my sister are the closest in the family. We are like best friends too. She's my 'other half'. We share stories, secrets, and anything sisters can share. Except clothes because we're not of the same size, lol. She's also my accountability partner. She's my best companion, and I can also call her my conscience when I do something not good. I'm also like that to her as well. When we were kids, we used to think we were twins because our parents sometimes dress us with same clothes! haha.

Anyways, I just wanna tell the world how happy I am to have a sister like her. Woohoo.

And wanna say sorry if 'Ate' (older sister in our language) is stubborn and lazy. Ahh, I hate to think she sometimes do things the older sister must do. Shame, I know. :p But well, I'm thankful of that and I hope I can repay her in the future. I'm gonna send her to Harvard. lol. *Childhood dreams* haha.

So yeah, just wanna greet her on my blog even if she might not be able to read this. But for all its worth, I still wanna. So here's a *cute* photo of us two:



I love you so much, my ever dearest sizzy! I THANK GOD FOR YOU. Muah muah.

Toodles,

Celebrating my 20th with 20 Random Thoughts

So, I just turned 20 years old. YAY. I'll just write 20 random things.

5 people I love and thank God for:

1. God - of course, he's the Creator of everything and my Heavenly Dad. I thank Him for everything, for giving me another year. I love God more than anything else and I will keep on serving Him as long as I live.

2. Family - I couldn't ask for more. When I was younger and when my parents are almost separating, I thought it was the end coz it was really hopeless. But God helped us and He really moved and blessed our family. Dad, Mom, Kuya Wendz, Kuya Mark and April. I super love you all! To Kuya Wendz, who is in Pinas, I so miss you! I thank my rents for everything. My sibz, for giving the support and all.

3. Tita Ling, Tito John, and Marvin (he's like my lil bro) - They're like my second family. They are always there when my family was breaking apart. I miss you guys.

4. My friends - from different parts of the world. Special mention to my closest and great friends who are keeping in touch. I love you guys. Thanks for always being there for me.

5. Fiji - my second home in this earth. lol. I thank God for bringing me here.

-----

5 blessings: (actually, I have more than 5. lol)

1. Family - this is the best time we have. Although Kuya Wendz is not here, this is the greatest blessing God gave me.

2. Fiji friends - I'll never forget the friendship we have here. Jenni, Siale, Zee, Rusila, Tara, Tori, and everyone else! God brought me here to meet you guys.

3. Fiji - Fiji itself. Again, He really brought us for a reason. This is one of the best blessings God has given me and my family. It's a real blessing!

4. Friends - all of you guys. Not because you are 4th, you're not important to me anymore. I super love you guys and y'all have always been a blessings to me. Thanks for being a part of my life!

5. Everything - love, life, friendships, money -- everything. Every aspect of my life is a blessing!

-----

5 promises:

Hmm, this is hard.. lol.

1. God - I will serve Him all the days of my life and live the life He wants me to have. Whether to live here, in Pinas, or wherever, I will follow Him. He knows what is best for me and He will use me according to His pupose.

2. Family - I will never waste this time God healed the wounds that almost broke us apart. I will try not to be a spoiled brat anymore. lol. Be responsible. Be a good daughter and a sister.

3. Friends - I'll always be there for you all and will never lose touch. haha. As much as possible, I try to keep in touch with you guys. God knows. hehe.

4. I will always have that 'grande passion to live a purpose driven life' (taken from 2 of my fave books) for God.

5. I can't think of another promise anymore. lol. haha. Ok here, I promise everybody that I will always be the same Fei you guys know. (and better) lmao. Ang labo. haha.

-----

5 Prayers:

1. I pray that God will continue to take control of my life and always keep me grounded according to His standards. And always give me strength for 'I can do all things through Christ'...

2. I pray that God will always be there for my family. I pray for mom and dad. To my Kuya's and to April. And to the extended family I always love.

3. I pray for my friends. I always pray for you all, wherever you are right now. That God will guide you always and help you in times of troubles. (let me know if you need prayers, that's prolly the least I can do)

4. I pray for this world and the lost souls. May God have mercy to those who are suffering and spare them from Hell. I pray that God will save the people from bondages of sin. I pray to touch their hearts that He alone satisfies.

5. I pray for my future. I pray for what God wants me to be. He always knows what's best for me. I pray for my dreams and ambition in life -- to help people and serve Him. harhar. And uhh, since I'm 20, maybe I should start praying for the future husband, a man of God -- God's best. LOL. hahaha. And well yeah, I want to build my business in the future - a business according to Christian principles and something that could help the people. lmao. I pray for my future family, friends, and people I will meet on the way to this journey called life. I'm 20 now, and I'm not getting any younger. lol

-----

Ok, I think I didn't construct this well. lol. Ugh, whatever. haha. It supposed to be 20 on every thoughts or whatever but it's like too many so I have broken them down into pieces. lol. HAHAHA.

Toodles,

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

As of this writing, it's December 15th, 3am here in Fiji. LOL

My dad's birthday was yesterday, Dec 14th. Dad, mom, April and I went to eat lunch out at Pizza Hut after church to celebrate dad's 50th birthday. Since it's a really hot day and most of us are really sleepy, we just decided to eat at the nearest place. haha. So yeah, we ended up eating at Pizza Hut. We just celebrated it as a family so we kept it simple. Sad thing, my brothers were not there.

So yeah, I just feel like blogging about my beloved Daddy. hihi. People say I really look like him. I have another photo without my glasses. I don't look much like him with it. haha. And I don't like myself without glasses anymore. LOL

Anyways, I am the "daddy's girl" in the family. Me and my dad are really close and we get along. We even go shopping sometimes. haha. I get what I want, but of course, there's a limitation. wehehe. But of course, we sometimes have misunderstanding. When he gets angry, I shut up, unlike to mom where I sometimes answer back. Woops. I could say I am really closer to dad than mom. Mom used to dislike me because of our closeness. hahaha. Oh well.

My birthday wish (birthday prayer rather) for him is that he will always have the strength at work. That he will always remain faithful to God. That he will always be patient with his sometimes-rebellious teenage sons and daughters. HAHA. That he will always give us money (JOKE JOKE JOKE). hahaha. Just kidding but that okay. :P And lastly, that he will still see my kids. NYAHAHA. I know he will, by God's grace. Because he's got no vices anyway. :D

I thank God for this time here in Fiji where he can spend time with us. I mean, not like in Philippines where most of his projects are out of town and sometimes out of the country. Yeah, he used to be not home oftentimes. So I really thank God for this time. hehe.

He's obviously one of my inspirations. Since he has been giving me so much (even til now that I'm over 18), I will give things back to him in the future. I want to take care of him (and mom of course) when they grow old and retire. Yeha. XD

Love you always, dad! Thanks for everything! <3

Till next time,

Ha-FEI Birthday to me!!! Lol.

Hey guys. =) **Read everything.lol**

Today is the 7th day of February in the year 2008. God has blessed me with another one year in my life. Wow. Praise God for that! :D

My gosh. Sometimes, I just think that my 18th year was just a WASTED YEAR for me. Am serious, I really said before that my 18th year was just terrible. I wanna forget it. Lol. Why? In my entire 18th year, I didn’t even go to school. What a waste, man. My classmates would be juniors this June, and I’m gonna start college all over again. Screw that up! They would be working in probably about 2 years time while me, I’m still studying. Lmao. Another waste of time is that I’m in this country called Fiji which is probably the MOST BORING country ever!!! My golly. This place just can’t fit to my lifestyle, dude. Lol. Where’s the technology? Where are the malls? This is so old-fashioned and all. I so wanna go home. This won’t do any good. SHEESH.

HEY! This not another RANT. Or another I-WANNA-GO-HOME shoutout or cry. Oh puh-leeze. I’m not gonna spoil my Birthday! HAHAHA. :P

Alright. Let’s look at the BRIGTHER SIDE. Lol. We should learn how to COUNT OUR BLESSINGS. We should THANK GOD for everything that is happening in our lives, like my fave verse says. “In everything gives THANKS for THIS IS the WILL OF GOD in Christ Jesus CONCERNING YOU,” I Thessalonians 5:18. We only have one life and we should give it our BEST SHOT.

Let’s go back one year ago… (lol)

In year 2007, I knew I’m leaving in few months time. Gosh. We were actually supposed to leave December 2006! We just got delayed and delayed and delayed. How’s that? Haha. Lmao. Well anyways, yah. How many of you know that sometimes, we have to learn how to WAIT. In that “delay period”, God has made wonders, man. Like, I learned a lot. I made new friends. I went to a JZONER Retreat in April, which is so amazing, what a blessing. I won friends to Christ. We have fixed our family’s relationship. God is really always in the right timing even though for us, it’s so wrong. Lol. It’s just so cool, man. =)

I have mentioned the stuffs that has happened in those delay periods in one of my entries in my Multiply blog. (http://feiyie.multiply.com/journal/item/11/Retreat_part1 & http://feiyie.multiply.com/journal/item/12/Retreat_part2) Feel free to read it and get blessed. Wahehe. Long story short, yes, I sometimes look at it negatively but there is always a brighter side. And I know them. Coz I believe that there are no coinsidences nor accidents. Everything is God’s Will and He always has a PURPOSE.

I’ve been here in Fiji for more than 7 months now. And probably you’ve heard my rant that I WAS dying to go HOME. Take note of the linking verb I used alright—WAS. Lol. Meaning, not anymore. Yep, I have already accepted the fact that I’m gonna suffer 2 more years here in this place. Woops. Lol. I mean, I’m gonna STAY here in Fiji prolly till dad’s contract expires in Feb 2010. (Hey, fret not, I’ll go for v-cay in Phils! :P) This could be oh-so weird but well, God gave me a vision of what am I supposed to do here. I’m not saying He talked to me like how He talked to Abraham and Moses, but yah, He talked to me in some amazing ways. I can’t tell more, it’s hard to explain. Lol. SO YAHH. My point is I don’t wanna feel bad anymore for staying here, I know I’m so homesick, but God can help and sustain me with that. Am here in Fiji to do His Will, He has a purpose.

One of the main reasons of being here is to be with the family. Alright, we had a terrible family relationship way back. Like you know, parents are busy, kids left with househelpers, don’t have much time together, stuffs like that. Yeh, my parents almost separated but by God’s grace, it didn’t happen. Then, being here means household chores. MY GOSH. This is the place where I’m learning, and I so don’t like them at times. GEE. Until now, my parents tell me I’m so lazy and all. Geez. Like, I’m the senyorita type at home. LOL. Haha. But yah, I now know. I’m 19 now, I gotta be responsible and mature. Yuck. Lol. Hahaha. And then, hmmm, He blessed us with a great church, man. Potter’s House Christian Church. In this church, I grow my relationship with God more. I became more faithful than ever. Every service just touch my heart, just like in CCF and JZONE (I miss em by the way, esp Jzone.). He gave me nice friends. Kahit konte pa lang sila, ok lang. I’ll get more friends when I go to school. All am asking for is… uhh. Lol. Secret. Lmao. Hahaha! XD [That’s my birthday wish..lol!]

I’m going to school next month!!! Ok, should I get excited? Lol. XD I got a lot of plans for school. Goshness. Haha. Man, I gotta study hard this time. I should not be lazy like I was in my first year in UST. Fees are damn expensive, we’re talking about dollars here. Hahaha! Lol. OMG. I’m excited, I’m afraid. Mixed emotions, dude. Lmao.

Well anyways…

Back to the present time. lol. This is the start of my Nineteenth year!!! =) I got resolutions [like New Years Resolution…lol. Kung Hei Fat Coi!!!], I got plans, I got prayers. I don’t wanna make this year a year of missed opportunities or some waste of time. I’m gonna start this right. I pray God will use my according to His Will and Purpose. I hope all the things that I’ll do will be pleasing to Him.

I’ll probably learn a lot here in Fiji. Like now, I’m actuallybeginning to realize some things. Maybe when I get back, I could say Genesis 41:52. Nyeckz. Lol. Hehe. I’ve been so challenged in my first 7 months, and I’m expecting even more challenges as well as blessings and life’s lessons. I just keep on trusting Him no matter what. =) I AM OFFICIALLY LIKING FIJI NOW.. Cheers to that!! lol.

So till here na lang. Haha. Miss you all. Hope you guys are doing great. You all suck. Not making paramdam!!! AMFNESS!!! Lol. Hahaha. Promise, kung sino lang nakaka-alala, sila lang yung may pasalubong pag balik ko! WAHAHAHA! My gosh. Sana naaalala niyo din ako. Yuck. Nyahahaa! :P

You guys all take care and God bless!

Toodles.
