Jesus Called

I was reading a post from 'Stuff Christians Like' and it was talking about saying that are, well said, when someone has moved on. He asked everyone to put down their own personal favorite sayings and one person wrote down "Jesus Called". I think i'm going to take that one.

I know personally i've relinquished my fear of death or dying- i know who i'm going to meet on the other side. But this talk of passing away and the attitude of the mourners made me realize that I'd rather have people honor my passing by being joyful- not unhappy. I, of course, realize that no one is going to be too joyful- i just died- but that spirit should be in the back of their minds. I love to laugh, i love to have a good time, i love to cheer people up, my funeral shouldn't be a Debby downer. There's a passage in 2 Timothy that i love, and when i read it i knew that this was what i wanted to be able to say by the time i was on my death bed:

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (2Tim.4:6-8)

I know that i want to leave saying "i've fought the good fight, i have finished the race- now Jesus is calling me to come home." How amazing it will be to be able to say those words. To know that i've done the will of my father, and that he has said 'well done, good and faithful servant. Come and dwell with me." It brings excitement into my heart. I wonder what other people, who do not know my father, feel about death. I wonder what kind of emotions go through their minds when they think about the moment their on that death bed. will they be able to know with confidence what and who is going to meet them when they open their eyes again? or is there an ever pressing 'what if...' on their minds when they play that last scene over and over.

Vacaaaa! ^_^

I went to Maui this past week with the family- it was very nice, very pretty. If you follow my tweets you would know that i definitely was in the same dwelling place as Will Farrell and Dilan and Cole Sprout form 'The Suit Life of Zack and Cody' (if you didn't know who they were :P)

Pictures!!! :D










































































































































































































































































































































phew! That was a bunch! those are my tops (more or less) out of around 250 pictures. I would write a real post as well but i'm a little wiped out now : )

Run Toto Run

You know that Passion Pit song sleepyhead?
I decided i like Run Toto Run's version of it better : )




I really like her voice. and the song isn't as busy as the original (which is a big plus with me)
I think ever since i got my job at AA my taste in music has toned down A LOT- and who can blame me, we play a lot of loud and busy music at my store =/
Plus i don't think it helped that we overplayed this song to the max when it came out.i heard it like every other shift.

but anyway, just though i should share ^_^


Peacing it <3
*p.s. isn't that a crazy laugh she has at the end :P

Sperry Top-siders

...and i love them!














unfortunately, they require more earthy colors from me (a part of my wardrobe that is still underconstruction...) but i'll get over it. They're so comfy and sooo cute- i've always been a sucker for those more masculine looks, but i'm just not as good at finding peices like that i guess :P

Alexander McQueen

Fall 2009 collection RTW













































































































If you haven't noticed, i'm usually attracted to designers who use a lot of color and patterns, and honestly I think that the black and red this is soooo over done, but i really like his stuff! The last two dresses i wouldn't be surprised to see it on the red carpet or something :P
aaaand, i would definitely rock that first dress! and the Jacket on the second girl looks so cute!


more later!

By The Sea Side

I went to the beach last week and it was very refreshing- though i got sand EVERYWHERE.

Beaches are a lot like Disney World, when your there you hate it- it's uncomfortable, your hot, there's lines for everything and food is over priced. But when you look back and look at all the pictures and collect the few good memories you had while there, It seems so fun that you want to go through the whole trial all over again.

I definitely had more pictures that i took but for some reason the connection b/w my camera and my laptop is just not working and it refuses to let me upload like 4 pic's : (

That's it for now tho, if i figure it out, i'll put it up.

Don't Tread On Me-

Happy Fourth of July!!! :D

I know, it's been ages-AGES
I've been so busy this summer it's ridiculous. The sad part is, It's not like i'm even doing anything exciting or too important. Studying for my econ courses have taken up most of my social life and Church activities take up the rest of my time- not like i mind the church stuff, i get to hang out with people i love, i just don't seem to have any 'Tabby time' anymore and less Tabby time means less blogging time yes?

Good news, i passed macroeconomics with an 83% despite falling ill with the flu (no i do not know if it was the swine) and my macro professor flaking out on me when it was time to take my make up exam (what a joker...). Bad news, i still need to pass microeconomics and that's the course i failed my first semester so we'll see how that goes... >.>

Lots to talk about! first, I did a very dangerous thing this past thursday- i went to Barnes and Nobles. This lead to me buying another book to add to my collection of book i need to read.
In fact here's a list of all the books i have bought and have not opened yet:
The Gum Thief by Douglass Coupland
The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (which i'll prolly never get to, i hate Faulkner why did i get this book?)
The Return of the Shadow by JRR Tolkien (which i was going to read after finishing the trilogy...which i havent yet... >.>)
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
John Adams by David McCullough
and Genghis Khan: and the making of the modern world by Jack Weatherford

This list doesn't include the books that i've bought but cannot find at the moment nor books that i've read at least the first chapter of and never finished- which is an infinitely long list by itself T_T

The book that i have added to my unread collection is In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan.
I am hoping to break this habit now with this book, then work my way back from there...


















I've always been a firm believer of eating real food, not 'food science' but, lets face it, the less your food is tampered with, the more expensive it becomes...which is lame. I'll read it anyway though, and if it's persuasive enough i might have my mother read it too, maybe she'll change some of her beliefs : )


Second on the list of things to talk about, I've finally found a band that i'm excited for, They are Twin Berlin



















I decided i REALLY like they're style- I can't wait for their first full album. Hopefully it won't be a disapointment like the Ting Tings (i was sooo excited for their first album too but the only good songs they had were the ones that they had out already...)

Anyways, that's just about all i wanted to share at the moment...hopefully it won't take me a month to write on here again : )
