HnG

So, I was doing homework and decided to work on my HnG (history and geography). Just the sight of is long and small words makes me want to close it straight away. But after awhile it gets pretty interesting, I get to learn about how the United States constitution protects the freedom of religion, expression, press, public assembly, and petition.

But my favorite part is in the part explaining about the trial by jury. One of the elements of a trial is that “the verdict should be unanimous”.

“The unanimous verdict is designed to remove any doubt as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. It is founded on the idea that although several guilty persons may go unpunished, not one innocent person should ever be unjustly convicted.” –taken from my HNG book.

Do you get it? I think it’s really good. :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oh my darling Starbutt Chong Dee Dee! :D

Jerboas and Whipsnakes :D

OH WOW GUESS WHATTTTT!!!

I want to Ikano's Pet Safari yesterday and I saw this awesomely weird animal called, jerboa. It looks like a mouse that decided to copy a kangaroo!

I also saw a whip snake! Its so coooooll!

Look at it! Look at it!

I really want it as a pet, its small, its green, and its not poisonous! What more can you ask for a snake as a pet?

Did you know that many MANY other min schnauzers in google are named dee dee? Pfft, copycats. Bet they don’t have one named STARBUTT!!! :D TEEHEE

WWJD!

As I have said, the camp was awesome, but what is even more awesome is what is happening now. My head feels like it is in a muddle, it keeps asking questions, it bugs me even when I want to sleep but at the same time it feels really good, like I can learn more from the same passages that I have already read in the Bible over and over again. My journal is quickly filling up.

Melinda Wong lent me a book called ‘In His Steps’. I have only read half so far, but it’s about a pastor who challenged his some of his congregation to make a promise that for the whole year, they would not do anything without asking “what would Jesus do?” The main characters did what they thought Jesus would do even if it meant losing business or getting bankrupt. Because they believed that their money wasn’t theirs but lent to them by God, like the Parable of the Talents.

The characters asked themselves this: What would Jesus do if He was in my, ______(name)’s place as a ___________(occupation, example: businessman)?

I think that this is a really good question to ask, even though I am just a student, and can’t make such drastic changes or decisions as them. Besides, this year is ending and I think I should ask myself this question so I can do it next year.

What would Jesus do if He was in Maelodee’s place as a student?

1. Respect and obey authority, no more criticizing Teacher Evelyn. (oh uh I hope she doesn’t read this)

2. Be tidy!

3. No complaining.

4. Pay attention during Chapel, or suggest different ways to run it.

5. Not shy away from responsibility or doing it last minute.

6. Love ALL my school friends and pray for them.

I wrote down 6 things and I’m already moaning, “This is going to be so hard.” Even doing one of them for a whole year is going to be a challenge for me. But anyway, I WILL TRY MY BEST

GOD PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

R U SERIOUS

Camp… was AWESOME!!!!

Our camp’s name was “R U SERIOUS” and the theme was Apologetics.

On the starting day Ps. Dan said that God says it’s okay to argue (reason) with Him (somewhere in Isaiah). During the camp he gave us the evidences and arguments for whatever questions we asked. For example, “Is the Bible real?” or “Why is there so many different denominations of churches.” Some questions we learn by going to different interesting stations.

I have learned a lot.

Anyway, I WANT *whoa! am I serious?!* to go study now, and see whether I can hopefully study for SAT or whatever the same time as my other friends are studying for SPM then I wouldn’t feel so alone. I’m going to study like crazzyyy starting now!

Funnnnnyyy :D

Newlife and Alphaaaaaa~

What is Newlife & Alpha? Part of the requirements of becoming a member is to go through a whole bunch of courses. Two of these courses are Newlife and Alpha. These past two years (or so) Zara kept asking me to go but I kept avoiding it. I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to do it until maybe 2 or 3 years later because it sounded boring. However; Ps. Dan said that to come for camp this year we must go through the courses, and camp is one thing that I always look forward to each year. So oh well, I went for it, and found that…..

It’s not so bad after all! :D it is actually quite interesting and informative (and they provide milo). My only problem is trying to stay awake in the morning. I suggest you bring coffee or something.

It has helped me in getting more out of doing devotion, memorizing verses, and writing my own testimony! :D:D Yay!

Flowers for you! :)
