b4 i blog bout spain..my frens MOM says i put on weight?????!!!!1stly..WAT D HECK?!?!??!?!2ndly i only put on like 2 or 3kgs..so like..heh?i din't know its obvious?=.= fine..new motivation 2 exercise..seriously i'm like..HUH!?!?!?!YERRRRR=P but 2 my defense..it was cos i went spain n ate mostly mainland chinese food..den u know its like oily n eider 2 salty or no taste at all..so yea..wat 2 do=P
ok puttin dat aside..spain was fun n cold..it was round winter so d temperature ranged from 0-15 degrees..madrid was d northest city we visited so it was d coldest..basically we landed at madrid..wen throu small towns but d big towns dat we wen were barcelona and lisbun which is in portugal..n of cos madrid..wel spain n portugal basically dun have any interestin souvenirs..n dey only have bull fights a certain period in a yr so when we wen dere dey din't have any bullfights=.= but i got 2 see flamenco dancin..it basically is like tap dancin..but instead of d dancer followin d beat of d music, d music ppl gota follow d beat of d dancer..so i thot it was quite interestin n loud..but my bro was like..so easy cos jus need 2 set d beat..i mean easy 4 d dancer..but i guess its more interestin dat way cos it gives d dancer freedom 2 follow emotions..haha owelz..besides dat i visited dis super big cathedral..dat was interestin cos instead of d columns supportin d weight of d buildin, d weight is actually spread out throu d roof onto d walls of d building so d walls r like super thick..aso saw a humongous organ..seriously its like those olden church organs or like count dracula were all d long chimneys producin d sound r like high n long..haha
o yea..i aso got 2 see goyas work in an art museum..so cool!i nv imagined i would b able 2 do dat in my life^.^ for those who r blur..goya is a famous painter who lived durin d 1800s..his work dat i saw mostly consisted of portraits of ppl..he even did sumtin like in titanic where d guy painted d girl wifout clothes..n nex 2 dat portrait was d same lady in d same pose wif clothes..n i found d way he painted lace-lace cardigan on a shirt..wow dat was nice..it looked so real..so yea..haha but oderwise d oder paintins in d museum had alot of christianity influence so it was kinda borin after awhile 2 me=P wel i bought lotsa chocs, alcohol n junk food which were cheaper than dey r ere..haha
anywayz i tink dats all i remember 4 now..i jus got home from youth camp which was good..d workshops were really good dis yr..i act din't realy wana go 4 d politics workshop but decided 2 go since i wen 4 music b4..dance was full n evangelism jus din't hit me..haha but anywayz tricia was good..she talked bout current injustice n wat ppl r doin 2 make a diff..i know it was all importan stuf b4 camp n god jus like challenged me further 2 b aware of all dis..i mean we r supposed 2 b aflame 4 god n neighbour..n d church is suposed 2 b 4 d oppressed..dat was sum tings i felt strongly bout..i aso thot bout how i would b able 2 give glory 2 god in d future if i do medi..so tricia exposed 2 me 2 ppl in need n a surprisin group was immigrant workers..believe it or not dey make up a big part of our community 2day n dey dun have any rite cos dere in a foreign country..i tink its easy 4 any of us 2 take advantage of dem like our maids..
besides dat, d how 2 spot a jerk workshop 4 girls was interestin..it kinda opened my eyes 2 understand my past better n know dat i'm in a better situation now..anywayz i'll jus share wat d paper says:
a jerk...
-self-centered
-wants his needs met
-is controlling(this part hit home 4 me..)
proverbs 13:20
" he who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm"
translation: a gf of a jerk gets hurt
a real gentleman...
-fears god
-submits to authority
-has integrity(bein honest when no1 is watchin~den u know u can trust him)
-respects d girl
-wants d girl to grow(this means allowin her 2 do wat she needs 2 do n not restrictin her)
guidelines to a healthy relationship...
-court, don't date(courting: lookin 4 a partner 2 get married)
-don't be unequally yoked
-get spiritual covering of ur authorities. be accountable
-set physical boundaries
-listen to ur frens n family
-grow together(encourage one another)
-realise dat u dun own each oder until ur married to one anoder
-have fun!
~time doesn't heal a broken heart, god does...=)
basically dat was a sum of d whole workshop..d guys had anoder talk called how 2 spot a chick..haha besides dat..i thot d speaker of d camp was undertakin a difficult topic 2 connect n make ppl understand..but he did bring up interestin points like "shud christians b concerned about d environment?" so was quite interestin..d whole camp was quite tirin actually..we had telematches n AmazinGrace which is like each group gota go 2 diff stations n play games etc..d commitee did a great job thou..god aso surprised me throu worship..i always wanted 2 see god work throu worship, to see ppl rededicate demselves 2 him cos i've experienced dat b4 n it jus convicts u jus as much as a sermon does..now dat i've seen it, it makes me hunger 4 more..n jus reminded me of d purpose i'm servin besides givin glory 2 god..o dis camp aso had lotsa injuries n funny tings happenin..peter injured his leg realy badly, yih ren badly pulled his muscle playin pepsi cola..lol lotsa ppl got sick..o yea it aso showed me dat even thou sum ppl r strong n steadfast in god, it doesn mean dere not human, it doesn mean dey can't b discouraged..in d end its d responsibility of each of us who r in d worship ministry 2 carry d cross n d vision of wat we wana see throu each worship..not jus d responsibility of d worship leader..n if any of us r discouraged..we need 2 carry each oder..
conclusion: dis camp realy convicted me of sumtin i had in d back of my min de..which was how i shud respond 2 relationships wif frens, family n all d ppl round me..n gave me d semangat i need to make d 1st step, n 2 step outa my shell=)
