Hi friends.So I have this wonderful opportunity to go across the US in a van with 3 other teammates to spread awareness about the atrocious human rights violations that are happening today in Northern Uganda through documentary screenings and selling merch. You might have heard of this non-profit organization, Invisible Children, through their various events such as The Rescue (2009), Displace

Whitney Houston's cover for I Look To You, her newest album in 7 years (!) since the 2002 flop, Just Whitney!Here she is (with longtime friend & mentor, Clive Davis) at the recent Pre-album listening for press, media, and celebs (in NY)... looking FIERCE and her usual diva-licious self! No crack-life and no Bobby Brown!WERRRRK girrrl. I hope her new album (dropping Sept 1, 2009) is FABULOUS.Loves

3 NEW things I've experienced in my life while being in Portland...1. Berry Picking.So berry picking is surprisingly WAY harder than you think it is. Or maybe its just harder for me b/c i'm such a spoiled city slicker but whatever... it was still an experience. :-) I was decked out in knee-high rubber "fisherman" galoshes and had a bucket to collect all the raspberries/boysenberries. Can we just

It's one of the THE most important things in a relationship for me.   And when I find out that people tell other people about me that are SPECIFICALLY my own personal shit...  it riles me up a little bit.And that is all folks.

Here goesssssssssss...1. I am absolutely obsessed with Mariah Carey- I have every single one of her albums dating back since her debut album in 1990 up to E=MC2 just this past 2008. I even have rare Spanish versions of her songs. I have 3 of her live concert DVDs. It's pretty ridiculous. Sigh. Don't judge me.2. I am an avid lover of pop music of all kinds. Especially the teeniebopper 90's. Yeap.

Being at a crossroads in your life can be extremely frustrating. And then adding "God's will for your life" into the mix can make it even more chaotic in your already befuddled brain. So my two options are:* Stay at Biola, continue my education, do SOS another year as a possible Crew Leader, keep Xopoc going strong (while slowly handing over the reins), immerse myself in the amazing Biola

I hate being confused.Dammit.----------------------------On a side note, I took 2 dance classes today at Debbie Reynolds in North Hollywood (Modern Hip Hop with some dude named Noel B. and Modern Funk with Delandis). Needless to say, I was completely drenched in sweat by the end of it... workin' it out! It's been a while since I've taken intense dance classes... I'm MOS DEF rusty rusty rusty.

Oh man. So many things have happened in these past couple of months. The longer I stay here the longer I know I'm not at BIOLA for their amazing academics... I'm here for the people, the friends and relationships I've made here, and the support and encouragement I receive from my peers.At the same time, I have never been SO un-motivated to DO academia. I just want to pursue the entertainment

So as I am sitting in my heavily AC-ed dorm room (with my roommate, Johnny's heavy breathing/slight snoring) writing a paper for my Intercultural Comm class (due at 10:30 am), I'm thinking back to my experience in Ukraine and how CRAZY INTENSE it really was.I learned SO much about myself, about others, about how I operate, about REAL brokenness, about God, about REAL love, about true

I can't believe how familiar this place is to me now... it being my 3rd time here in Kyiv. The streets seem more familiar, the smells and sights and billboards. The smog is fabulous of course.Bleary-eyed and with a GINORMOUS crick in my neck from the 9 hour flight from NY to Kyiv... We finally landed in Kyiv with a friendly welcome from Kildong, Slava, Sasha, Kolya, Pastor Chung and his wife,

So I'll be taking off in a plane to NY's JFK Airport in less than 10 hours... (7 AM flight) and it STILL hasn't hit me that I will be away for over an ENTIRE month! Craziness. Please pray for me and my flight to New York and then to Ukraine... On a side note... let's talk about the wonderfulness of plane food...Plane food is simply amazing. I really don't know what they put in it... I'm sure

Wow.I can't believe my journey to the center of the earth (i.e. Ukraine) is going to start in less than 2 weeks! GAHHH. It still hasn't hit me yet. I still feel very unsettled about it all and feel SO under-prepared but underneath the pits of my soul I am BUBBLING with excitement...Yesterday, I watched Iron Man with my friend Jaybee... and it was incredible. The special effects and the awesome
