Rooted into Dutch Sign Language

(Lisanne, Rijk, me, Joselina(neighbor), Suzanna, Hester, Jetske)

Interacting with Holland interpreting students at Veronika's was the best thing I could think of right now! I met 5 AWESOME people from Netherlands - Lisanne, Rijk, Suzanna, Hester and Jetske couples of weeks ago. They pretty much brain washed me by glued some of their Dutch Sign Language in my head. Even enough they convinced me to come cross the sea to do study aboard in their sign language, same time work with Deaf children and great opportunity they have missionary there too. Thinking about starting planning for it, and pray God will guide and let it happen for next year fall semester. :-)

New Passion

I've decided to discover a new hobby to help me distract from something that I have been struggling with lately. I knew I've always enjoy riding bikes all my life and going on trails with my Aunt and Uncle growing up. I even remember the best biking experinece was riding through Mountains from Copper to Frisco and back to Copper, also did different trails through out the times down in Colorado. Now, I want to start doing that again since we have mountains and good nature forest trails around here. So, I finally pulled out my bike out of the shed and borrow rack from a wonderful friend from church and start explore what's out there.

It's amazing how much you can discover things while you're on bikes! Just love to be out in the nature, enjoying what God had created surround you! <><

B PLUS!

Whoot...got B plus in Medical Terminology course, I took over the summer through RIT! Man, that was awesome feeling after found out, I surely learn tons from this course. This did got me more motivated to learn more about medical, even want to specialist into medical for Masters after my Bachelors Degree in Social Work. Medical Terminology absolute helped me understand better while reading, watching news, teachers talking, and even Grey's Anatomy shows, by recognizing medical terms. In addition, it made me feel smarter! (heetee)

Next course, I will be taking is Anatomy next semester- it be much easier as what i heard since I took this course. :-D

London Style Wedding

I flew home for the 4th time (within 5 months) to attend my cousin's wedding on Sept 9-12. That weekend was wonderful because got to spend lot of time with somebody, who knew how to make me smile, laugh and be happy!

The wedding was gorgeous! It was very elite and felt like I was in London, England. It's probably because Ben and Kristi are living in London next 3 years. In addition, My aunt Janelle did excellent job making the bridesmaid dresses it made the everything spectacular! Food, music, video, families/people, decor and my lovely date were awesome! ;-)

Summer's over!

Ahh what a great crazy Summer, feel like I been hit by train by going through so much, flew 4 times and 3 trips home. Just arrived from my 3rd one which was an unexpected last night. (will make 4th one in week half). I would say this summer was just a big lesson for me about life. It was all about love, patient, happiness, and life. I have so much to say about what I've been through this summer. I would love to share but right now am not ready to express it and same time I couldn't sum up but it all sum up those 4 words! :-)

A Big Thank You Gift!

Have you ever made a BIG Thank You gift for someone?This is what I made for my amazing friend Denise (one of my giggle buddies) for let me crush at her place while she was on vacation, since had no place to go after I had to move out of my place. It was super easy to figure out what to make her by figure out her place heetee and knowing her since I met her. I wanted to make something personal, and to save money!
All I did is go to JoAnn's and buy.....
-Glass for $2
-2 paint colors ard $1.75 each (Her favorite colors)
-Fake flowers was on sale less than $2 (Her favorite flowers)
Total = less than $10!!!!!
Ofc I slipped in some cash for using her water and electric.

Her Reaction: she LOVED it!! *WHEW!*
Here is GREAT pic of us when she return from vacation and right before I flew home for couples of weeks. It was good to spend time with her... Just gotta love her and she absolute knows how to make me Happy!!!

A way to Save a life!

Have you ever attempted to suicide yourself? I hope not.... God has many ways to use people to Save a Life. I recently watched this movie "To Save a Life" with a good friend of mine. I am telling you this is wonderful movie for everyone! I admit it I had tears throughout the movie, it was very touchy and appealing.

This movie also really got me to think about those people who are left behind, those people are in high risk of suicide as well. Also I need to work on spreading God's words, I am not too great on that. I am more of a setting example or telling testimony what God has done to me or other people than preaching to them. I know God knows I have faith in him I will develop a better confidence to spread the word more often!

Unexpected Trip

Wow this is my first time taking a unexpected trip back home after being here just few weeks ago! It absolutely feel great to be able to come back when you are able to. I had to come home due to no place to live for month of August until Sept 1st when I can move into my new place. Also last time when was home felt wasn't enough time with family and friends. In addition, to help me to decide to come home is that this is my only great opportunity I could come home because the more I become older the harder it will be for me to come home.

This is my first time flying being an Gold member to Delta, got free baggage, jump over to priority lines at check in counter, and getting on plane with first class folks. Pretty neat experiences!
God has been good to me lately by bringing me here safely and be open to allow me come home as well!! Amen.

Wanna be a Surgeon

Seriously?! Serious. Just woke up this morning ending with blood on my rubber gloves.
I had this amazing best dream ever I would say! I was a some kind of surgeon residency in the Emergency Department. All I could remember that I was outside of the hospital with other 2 residents (One looked like my good friend Sara). While we were walking on our lunch break or something we got a page from the department need some help. When I arrive there, saw bunch of ambulances arriving and leaving just crazy trauma moment! (Even saw one with camera inside one of the ambulances filming something- Odd?) All sudden I heard my Attending Physician yelling at me grab this young gentleman!! I quickly grab my rubber gloves, mask, and start to press down his blood on his lower left stomach. Right before I actually woke up I saw Sara? or one of the residency yelling he's loosing BP and all I remember I was about to save his life! However, I have a faith that I did! :-)

What a Dream, I felt like Christian Yang for a second! Wonder what lead to this dream... maybe too much Grey's Anatomy or reading too much interesting Medical articles on Mayo Clinic and Webmd. Just love to read random thing that I never knew about!
