Power of Forgiveness & Dream

Last weekend (April 24-25) I went on a trip with my church's Deaf Ministry to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for Sight and Sound-play called "Joseph". It was based on where The Bible story come out alive with real actors, animals, and amazing scene objects. The stage was huge, even on the sides of the theatre. I wish I could take pics during the play but was forbidden, what a bummer BUT check out the website!

The story of Joseph was about his Dream leading to teaching us how important Forgiveness is. I left this play telling myself to have faith in the Lord when it comes to forgiveness, and inspired to dream big for God’s glory!

(GOOD pic of Veronika and I!)

I was thinking to myself during the night about what I've learned from this message and how it apply to my life right now. As for my Dream, I've been inspired to wanting to work at Hospitals as Medical Social Worker. I've been praying and telling the Lord it's his will, also want to let him guide where he want me to glory him! <><

Forgiveness is powerful! I know it not easy thing to forgive or ask someone for forgiveness whether you were/are anger, upset, or against at someone that you need make peace with. In The Bible it said "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."- Ephesians 4:32 and "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."- John 15:12. This message really showed me that forgiving others is best step in my life. Was thinking to myself, Yes I've experience this before and had confront for forgiveness. Being honest with you it was not easy at all I wanted to drop and move on but God had put pressure on me to follow his commands. However, you know what- I felt so peaceful afterward because God had blessed me by following his commands! Whatever you need to ask for forgiveness or forgive the other person even they did not know what they did wrong, Pray first for strength God will guide you through it! <><

UP ON THE WALL


Picture Frame: Have had those sit on my dresser for long time and always wanted them onto my wall since my wall looks plain, it need some life! Finally had the time to put it up. I wanted to add quote to it "Flying hands to Hooked fingers" which means they all were my interpreters and now my good friends! I have 2 more pictures to add to it but need to find the right frame for it.


God's Word Blocks: Got 3 of them awhile ago, just couldn't make up my mind where to put them. Then finally Sara and I figured where to put it at. It looks good there doesn't it!?


What's left: Curtains for my room windows, Decor old bookshelf, old boards turn them into wall decor, candy/flower pics... (COMING SOON!)

Rolling Skating!

Rolling skating with my giggle buddies for one of their 30th Birthday party was absolutely BLAST!!

(Giggle Buddies & Ofc the B-Day lady!)

Chelsea and I were debating if we should blade or 4-wheel skate. Since everyone else in our party were skating with 4 wheels, so that was the winner. It was interesting experience and brought lots of memories when was young skating with those Yellow, Blue, and Orange Fisher skates acting like speed skater during one of the winter Olympics. (Mom still have the video of me doing that, so cute haha)

(Chelsea & I smiling big just because we having FUN!!)

We all did have wonderful time, even I accident shallow my gum while laughing so hard- that actually prove how much fun we had! :-)

Foreign Dinner

Grew up on beefs and Midwest foods since my daddy rises cattle on our family farm, it was where most of our food came from. I never tired different random kinds of foods like Chinese, Ethiopian, Japanese, European, or whatever you can think that are rare found in a farm town. Until late High School age I start to like Chinese food only then the more I became more opened mind to try more vary international foods when I moved out to the East Coast for College.

However, tonight I just had Ethiopian & Vegetarian dinner for the first time with one of my giggle buddies! I was surprised how much I loved the food! I found this little funny because had to look online before going there to see what kind of food they would serve and they all look really GROSS! Even was really worried it would conflict with my stomach but was totally wrong. It was very nature- Healthy choice of food even it digestive well through the stomach. Also remind myself DO NOT JUDGE the food through the pictures, just GO to the place with someone who knows the place well!! I am so going back there, hope I will remember what I had haha!

Have you ever had some Ethiopian Food before? If not, I recommend you to try it! :-)

Paper & Pen will do!

Just had a great one on one appt with my wonderful Dr. It just strange the interpreter didn't show up even they told us it was already set up, this happened quite often lately?!

Thank the Lord for paper and pen to communicate if the interpreter does not show up! I am very grateful for very understanding doctor who has patients with me for writing things back and froward in short time period. However, it sucks at some points because there are somethings I cannot express in words and I prefer in ASL which is easier for me. It was interesting at same time, I like to see Doctors try to interact and communicate with me, yet this one I regularly see is always the best one I ever had in my life that absolutely try to find a way to communicate with me and meet with my needs.

God is good, he allowed me to bump into one of interpreters who knows me while I was at Strong today. I mentioned to her about not having a interpreter for several of my appointments, she was shocked and felt bad, so she gave me her email address. Whenever I have appt, will contact her ahead of time so she can make sure someone will be assigned. Wonderful news! :-)

Just gotta love how supportive interpreters and Doctors are! :-D

Boston on the Feet...

Decided to leave my car at my good friend Sara sister's for my spring break while I was visit Tabby, my long time friend that I knew since first grade. She live 10 sec from Green line metro so why bother paying ridiculous amount for gas and parking permit at Boston University where she was attending.

Wow, what a fantastic trip to Boston for the first time, we were on our feet the entire time! I cannot believe my leg didn't fell off or felt sore past few days when got back to Rochy?! It was neat that finally realized what city life is really like when you RARE use your own car!

Here is the agenda and pictures....
Wednesday -St. Patrick's day:
We headed out on the interstate from Rochester around 10:30am arrived into Boston by 4pm trying to get to Tabby's apt at Boston University but end up got lost. So Sara and I found my favorite food market "Whole Food Market". Grab the opportunity to get few things that we couldn't find in Rochy, even some Lactose and Gluten Free stuff! Then back on the street again, still got confused and lost so we end up at Boston Common and Public Square and park there to meet up with Tabby and Katie (Sara's sister). Since it was St. Patrick's day and super nice outside, everyone was outside!
After we met up with Katie, we grab a quick dinner at a Deli at Boston Common and had Katie help us guide out to Meldon, her place to park my car. Tabby and I took the Metro on the orange line from Meldon then switched to green line to St. Mary's to her apt. End up catching up for couples of hours, Good times!

Boston Day 1 (Click on the Pics for more Pics!)

Thursday March 18th:

Tabby had class from 8 to 11am, so I did my History homework at BU Library until Sara arrived around 10:30. We just walked around the campus until Tabby was done and had lunch at Breuggers/Panera Bread and little shopping, then headed to see Fenway Baseball stadium (Boston Red Sox). Tabby decided to call the Boston Harbor Cruise tour to see if they would provide interpreter, of course they didn't BUT they gave us free tickets! Whoot so took the metro to Back Bay and rode the boat around the harbor saw where Boston Tea Party occur, Boston Intentional Airport, Boston Coast Guard Base, and other battle sites with ships (forgot name). After that we went to Chinatown for a little shopping and sushi! When we were done eating my stomach hit me really hard when we start walking back to the Metro was planning to go over to Katie's to watch UP the movie but I was in lot of pain so had to go home! What a bummer!

Boston Day 2

Friday March 19th:
Tabby got called into work at Harvard Research Lab and I was feeling little better so decide to take the metro to Katie's all myself. It was neat experience by picturing myself doing this everyday if I ever live up there. Arrived Katie's to join Sara to watch UP, what a cute movie. After movie we went to Harvard to check it out and meet up with our sorority sister Megan who was in town too for an job interview. We grab lunch together at Crema Cafe at Harvard Square, good time catching up and walking around waiting for Tabby to get off work. After Tabby got off from work we went to Quigley Center, Little Italy, and Coast Guard Base since it was nearby eachother. Around 7pm Megan paged us and told us come out to different part of Boston where we have not touched to DPHH (Deaf Professional Happy Hour) it was a Deaf nightlife social event. We went there and met up with her there and had good time. After that it was around 11pm we took the bus with Megan and Sara took the metro since our metro was closer to her hotel and had to get back before last metro at 12:30am. We did got home just fine! What a BUSY DAY!!! :-)

Boston Day 3

Saturday March 20th:
Slept in until 9am! Tabby and I went little shopping. Went to my favorite store REI, got myself new bookbag since my current one is already worn out and light coat for rainy days. After that Tab and I went to Back Bay shopping area there were millions of people it was neat place. We stopped at this famous Cupcake place called 'Sweet' and grab some! Headed home to get myself ready to met up with my other sorority sister Catie, Amy, Sara, and Megan at Qugiley Market. We couldn't decide on resturant so went to the food court. I had seafood, had crabcake and fried shrimps. It was good but again it conflict with my stomach for some reasons! Later on we decide to go over to Harvard to Hong Kong place so they could have this popular alochol drink. Of course I didn't have some due to medical reason. Had to catch the metro again before 1am back to Tab's. What a wonderful exhausting night!

Boston Day 4

Sunday March 21st:
Packed up and headed out to Katie's place on the metro to leave for Rochester. We got home by 4pm. However, we have a very interesting interstate story to tell you!

Right before last rest stop before Rochester, Sara was driving and I was looking at her chatting. She was on right lane passing this ugly Red van with bed inside those kind you know.... this dude was about 28-32 yr old bald little big that all I can remember. While I was talking Sara gave me a weird looking, knew it wasn't me so I took a quick look behind me and all sudden this dude had his window down and held up disposable camera and took a picture of me and my car. I quickly looked at Sara and told her to speed up because I was scared and didn't know how to response to that, instead she speed up she flipped him off. All sudden he pulled off to this rest area with no bathroom! We both was like WHAT THE HECK in the WORLD why would he take a picture of us especially me (Thank God I had sunglasses on!). CREEPY!!!

Boston Day 5

What a WONDERFUL and GRATEFUL for a SAFE trip!! Million Thanks to Tabby for everything she have done for us!! Miss her dearly! :-)

Neurology Check up!

Finally had neurology Dr appt. today just for a check up and see how my new medicine was going for my migraines/headaches. It went well since my medicine I am on is working WONDERFUL and much better than my last medicines I was on before. On this new medicine I just have little bit headaches once a week or none! It just depends on if I am over stress, not enough sleep, around many people at once, or not ate in a long period of time. It's the best thing when you have no constant headaches or migraine Praise to the Lord!!
-Two negative about this new medicine is hard time to fell asleep and risk of having Kidney stone again (so better be drinking LOTS LOTS of water to prevent from it happening).

This appt. was really neat and exciting because my Dr. was in a excitement mood since he heard that finally found the right medicine for me! He said I made his day, which made my day go well too cuz love to see Doctors happy and hear good news from their patients since its a risky job. Even he had his boss came in and talked with me and hear the good news, even ask me more questions about the medicine. Pretty neat experience at that point! (also my terp was excited too, since she knows me). Now I do not have to go back in within 6 months- Yaya! PTL!

However, at the end he told me a sad news that he's not going to be around anymore after June. What a bummer, he was awesome and blessed to find right kind of medicine for this circumstance! Will miss him after he leaves. God will take care of this and will provide me a new one like him with all of his power! :-)

Spring Break Begins (10')

Ahh.. it's my first Spring Break at SUNY-Brockport this week! I had crazy week last week studying for my Health & Illness Sociology Medical Class midterm for 4 days in row from Monday- Thursday. It was pretty tough but I tried not to be over confidence with myself but got faith in myself I did well! We'll see what the results are after the break. I also had one super easy essay for Art class, got done in less hour. Glad it's all over, unfortunately I have to read 2 articles for medical class and 4 pages essay for Ancient History on Rome vs Greek. This is lot better than starting new classes and worry about spending $200+ for new books like I had to at RIT after spring break.

Looking forward to Boston trip this Wednesday to see a long lost childhood best friend along with a good friend of mine from here! It be my first time touch Boston, whoot! :-)

Mr. Hotdog

I've been taking care of this Betta Fish named "Mr. Hotdog" owned by my lil adorable Caleb while he was vacationing in Florida seeing Mickey Mouse. How lucky he is!
I just find it adorable that he named it Mr. Hotdog, I even asked him why? He said, "I don't know just because I want to name him that." I started to laugh thought was the cutest thing! Was thinking maybe because it was baseball season when he got it uhmm?? Who knows! When he gets older I'm definitely going to remind him about this! Giggles.

However, ever since had to return Mr. Hotdog to Caleb I've been thinking about getting one myself and let Caleb name it for me. I am not quite sure yet, maybe later after this summer since will be traveling lot this summer, seem like I would be.

I remember my lil sister had same kind of fish she named it Lucky and it lived pretty long time! I did had one myself but I cannot remember what I named it maybe Husker something and guess it didn't last long! eh ek! haha HOWEVER, my next one will be in a better condition and be taking good care of it than I did when was younger! :-)
