Merry Christmas

It's Christmas Eve tonight and as usual there is candle night service at my church. But this year, its the opposite of the usual Christmas eve service. Why do you ask? I've been so use to having my parents together at the service and I would go to church and see many familiar faces. But this year is different because my parents and I no longer goes to the same church as me. The same church that we been to for my last 30+ years of my life. This year, my parents went to a different church for Christmas eve service, because just several months ago, my dad the senior pastor of the church that I had known for the last 20+ years had decide to resign from his positions. Since then, my family has never been the same.

What is the meaning of Christmas? Beside the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas also means that family would use this time to come together and spend time together. Unfortunately, the last several months, I can count the number of times that our family is together. I miss the old days of having the same family in the same church.

I pray that God will use this moment to make me stronger during my time of alone and missing families around me.

Dear heavenly father, I thank you for everything that you have provide me. I continue to ask for your guidance in helping me how to find the right church for me. I ask that you would provide the job that you have intent for me. Amen.

New Workspace

I finally decide to move my computer facing a different direction today.

Before, my seat was facing the corner and not much working room to do anything or put anything. Also, i don't like my phone and calculator on the left side of me.

Now, I move my computer to the left side a little bit and facing left side of my cubicle wall. I also move my calculator and my phone to the right side also. I'm trying to reorganize my desk to have more room to work with.

See the new workspace.....i'll have to take another picture of my previous workspace.




But the Real Workspace that i want..it's my friend, Janet. I'll take a picture of her cubicle and show you. Unfortunately, I have a director that's not very nice and cooperative to let us move the cubicle, b/c all he cares about it's just cost.

I spend the whole day today moving around the computer, monitor and everything.

Now, all I need it's a reflective mirror to put on my monitor so i can see anybody that's coming up behind me. I went to Office Depot, and they don't have it.
If anybody knows where I can find it, let me know...

Thanks!!

Working Out....

It's been a very long time,so long that i don't remember the last time that I went to go workout. Every now and then, Janet would ask me if I'm going to Kickboxing class. I would either just ignore her or something would come up where I don't have to go. So, this Monday, she continue to ask if I was going. Originally, I had someone coming to my house at 5:30pm, but in the last minute, he call and had to cancel. So I didn't tell her, just told her that I would try to go if I can make it by 7pm. It was definitely difficult because I wanted to just stay home. But I didn't, I went to class.

When Tuesday morning roll around, I begin to feel sore on both upper thighs. I left work at 4:30pm because didn't really feel like working till 5:00pm. All of a sudden, when I was standing at the traffic light and ready to cross the street, I had a sudden pain in both of my upper thighs. I was soooo painful, I thought the pain was never going away. I got worry. When I finally got to the P&R, it was only 5:04pm, Janet ask me if I was going to the 5:45pm "steps" class. On the way home, I was thinking, I really need to go back and not stop this moment of going to work out. So, I went home, change and went to class. I wasn't sure how much I was able to do because I was in sooo much pain. I can hardly walk or anything else. I try my best, but I was able to finish the class. That night, it was very painful.

On Wednesday morning, getting out of bed was totally painful.

Overall, I'm glad that Janet was persistent to keep asking me to go and be her workout buddy. Thanks Janet. You're Awesome !!!

With so much free time that I have now these days, I'll try to see if I can schedule another time to LA Fitness. Maybe a Saturday afternoon.
