Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. This semester, everything has been going well. All because … I listened to the little nudge in my heart and just trusted in the Lord. During winter break, I was going crazy looking for summer internships and looking for a job for...

And then life happened...

The winter break went by super quickly and I have been back in Brandeis for almost three weeks now. Time sure do move slowly in Brandeis … I’m already counting the days until I go back home again. This semester is not so bad (YET). I am working in a lab =] and I am so grateful that I am. I learn best by doing … so, this job is a perfect way for me to learn outside of class. My...

not a TEEN... WHAAAAAT

As I enter into the 20th year on this earth (around 7 am tomorrow), I want to thank all the people who were a HUGE part of my childhood and teenage years. These people are the treasures of my life. Without them (and God) my life will be incomplete. The most important thing I have learned thus far in my life is that God has given me more than I deserve; my friends and my family. MY FAMILY Dad,...

Power Nap, my specialty →

It has been proven that power naps (no more than 30 minutes) are good for you! This is something I STRONGLY believe in and has been doing since … forever. WHOOHOOO -vyl lyn-

A personal statement??

I’m TRYING to write a personal statement, but I just CANT. What am I supposed to say about myself to impress people? How do I summarize myself in less than 500 words? I thought I’d start out just writing everything about me … everything that comes to mind. I find myself ranting on and on about being a Christian … about loving God. It’s such a big part of me that I...

First day of the year, for God

First day of the New Year happens to be the first Lord’s day of the year. It’s just so great to have God as the first thing I enjoy this year. I went to the meeting and then to the video training and I just want to share my enjoyment from the first meeting. Now, most of you would probably go “WHAAT?!” or just stop reading after the first point, but it’s okay. I just...

New Year, New Beginning

At this time tomorrow it’ll be 2012. I was just looking at my New Year’s resolution from last year and found that none of it has been accomplished. Disappointing. It was as simple as… Reading a verse a day from the Bible. I just had to repent to God because I’ve just been wasting my year away and not redeeming the time as I ought to. I realized this year, more than ever,...

Scwartz Castle has a piano … Emi is playing a Sara Bareilles song. She tried to teach me, but it was a major fail on my part. hehe We also explored Brandeis some more, climb the tree again and went on the swing. Here’s some of the cool things I saw during our exploration. -vyl lyn-

I'm an E-sian

Haha, this is the standard I’ve been holding for myself. But hey, I learned this year that sometimes things just don’t turn out as planned. I try my best and my best is all I have … and if that does not get me an A, well then there’s nothing more I can do. See, my brothers think I’m really dumb because I spend so much time studying but still does not do well in...

Make a wish! I missed the 11:11 am because I was so focused on taking a good bio lab lecture note… But Hura, Snaghi, Emi and I did a little “make a wish” ceremony consisting of the lights being off and gobbling up Kat’s super yummy banana cake. I wont tell you what my wish is exactly, but being in today’s Friday night meeting made me realize that even if I enjoy my...

I was just talking to Emi about the creeps I’ve encountered in Brandeis. Emi said “there are 3200 undergrad in Brandeis, there must be at least on guy for us.” I was very iffy about that statement and I had a right to be. We whipped out THE CALCULATOR There are 3200 people in Brandeis, 48% are Guys. 3200 x 0.48 = 1539 Guys in Brandeis 60% of the guys are straight… 40%...

This weekend was just such an amazing weekend! I guess I just miss having a weekend. On Friday, Emi and I watched Bones and New Girl, back to back. Then I went the the Friday night meeting at the Romero’s which was super sweet. Saturday, Christine drove Emi, Hura and I to Harvard square. Crema cafe was uber yummy! I skyped with Gracie and I finished my orgo lab that night too! hehe Today,...

He’s my best friend! Emi and I baked cookies, bread and pumpkin seeds today. It’s pretty chilly out, so having a freshly baked warm soft chocolate chip cookies just hits the spot. I’m pretty sure I ate half the batch that we made. hehe, no self control when it comes to fresh warm cookies. -vyl lyn

Back up plan...

During the summer, I was so motivated to do well this school year to make up for last year. Well sometimes, things just doesn’t work out as planned. I’m working harder than ever this year, but my grades does not reflect my effort. What does this mean? Well, it means I have a SLIM chance of getting into med school. My world seems to be falling apart and it felt like I have no direction...

Line of Life

Friday night meeting at the Romero’s was so sweet! Today we read about the two trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God only wants us to have the tree of Life. The tree of knowledge of good and evil leads to death. It’s not a matter of being a good person or a bad person, anything that comes from our own effort is from the tree of knowledge. What God...

Precious Sunday Morning

The Lord’s table meeting was the best part of my day. Singing hymns is just so sweet and it kept my mind off things for a bit. It’s really nice to just have a moment where it’s not about me and not about all the problems that I have, but about praising God. This morning was just consecrated to God… just that short hour carried me on for the rest of the day. “For to...

DDR!

What better way to start a weekend than to spend some quality time with your friends. Ems, ShS and I decided to have a DDR party for a few hours before we go through a weekend of intense cramming and studying. It was super fun! I had an Asian-off with Cands and we danced “our ballz off” as Kelz would say. It was a short party, but it was just great to have your closest friends over...
