Jules and I play this game walking home called I have a problem this is how it goes...(You have to talk in our funny voice or it won't be funny!)
Hi my name is Christina and I have a problem!
I have a obsession with shoes!
Obsessed? I think not! Well have a look at my collection, I have more...haha...
9/9 has officially marked the 10 years my mom has not be with us.
9/11 has marked 3 years from 9/11/01
On 9/24 it will be mommy's birthday...
Wow I'm in a lot of pain lately both emotionally and physically.
Today through out the whole day I couldn't and still can't turn my left side of the head and back. Ahh it hurts!
5. When I sense sexual temptation, I should:
a. hang around
b. call my friends and share the good news
c. flee!
I have to put a warning on this xanga entry just cause I don't think some people (mainly guys) will be able to handle it. Haha. Don't get me wrong... but some guys seriously might be disturbed after reading the entry. But anyway, I was reading some poems/articles my current favorite HK/Chinese singer wrote for a magazine. Most of the poems are about love, others are about religion, family, childhood memories, or just a personal critique. Well, I came across one poem that I thought just rang too true for all women everywhere. You'll have to forgive the roughness of the grammar, it's translated from Chinese. So here goes nothing...
"Monthly Period" - Sammi Cheng.
Women should have an extra 12 days of vacation than men because every month women have to go through a few days of period.
When at its peak, the worst thing that can happen is to attend long meetings that lasts for 4 hours in constant worry, then stand up to check whether the white chair has an "extra" pattern on it, but is assured with a sigh of relief if nothing is there!
There is more! On a hot summer's day, have to put up with wearing black or dark clothing, in worry that it'll become "a red dot in the forest".
Even more, because of the contractions, there will be cramps. Male co-workers will ask in concern, but have to lie that it is only indigestion. And with sincerity, they hand you 2 pills; you only have to take the pills!
Days go by, and finally ended up with indigestion!
Adding up all the trouble, only to prepare yourself for children, whether you plan to have children or not, you still have to suffer!
A day of holiday every month for period, 1 year has 12 months, total of 12 days, men, do you dare to disagree?
I was actually quite amused after reading the poem/reflection or whatever you want to call it. Yes, sucks being a girl. Only that part though... other than that, I don't think I have problems. Maybe the whole pumping out a baby thing, but it's supposed to be worth it. Haha. :P

Wow today 7th period we had to run a mile. Yes, in the sweltering hot sun. All good though, yeah!? Well I was really tired but I still managed a nice 7:19 min mile! Woot woot...
PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) is a term used to describe a cluster of physical and emotional distress occurring late in the post ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle and sometimes overlapping with menstruation. (See the charts on our Menstrual Cycle page if you would like a better understanding of the physiology of this cycle.) We are talking about the time one or two weeks before your period begins. Remember, every woman is different.
Symptoms usually increase in severity until the onset of your period and then disappear dramatically. Among these symptoms are weight gain, breast swelling and tenderness, abdominal distention, water retention, backache, acne, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, sensations of prickling/tickling on skin, herpes/cold sores, bruising easily, joint pain/arthritis, body aches, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions, insomnia, loneliness, greater need for sleep, headache, anxiety, mood swings, depression, crying spells, cravings for sweets or salty foods.
The real cause for PMS is still unknown. It is estimated that 75 - 80 % of all women experience some PMS symptoms during their lifetime. The incidence of PMS seems to increase with age, so as a teenager you may not experience PMS. It seems to be less common in women in their teens and twenties, so as you get older you may find yourself experiencing PMS. But don't stress about that now.
Although PMS is clearly related to the production cycle of ovarian hormones, these symptoms are not directly related to the levels of these hormones. Fluctuations in the balance of estrogen and progesterone may be one of the causes of PMS. I know this sounds confusing, it is still confusing many medical people. One hormonal fluctuation can cause one symptom which leads to another symptom, and so on.
Estrogen excesses, progesterone deficiencies, Vitamin B6 deficiencies, low levels of serotonin (a brain chemical), an excess of prolactin (a protein hormone that induces lactation), and altered glucose metabolism are among the many different theories that attempt to explain PMS, but none have been proven.
(Update - Sept. 2002)... Researchers now know that PMS is not a simple result of an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone — commonly referred to as “female hormones”, or any other single hormone. A number of studies have found nothing abnormal in the levels or ratios of these hormones in women who experience PMS.
A complex interaction of neurohormones and other brain chemicals are suspected to have a more direct relationship in triggering PMS. Exactly how these brain chemicals change with or affect the menstrual cycle remains unclear. However, treatment studies are becoming more focused and will most likely soon lead to a better understanding of the menstrual cycle and the effects of hormones on human behavior.
For example, three recent studies have pointed to calcium deficiency as a main culprit causing premenstrual syndrome. Therefore, calcium supplementation may go a long way toward helping you to relieve your PMS symptoms. In one study, researchers found that women who received 1,200 mg of calcium carbonate each day for three menstrual cycles had a 50 percent reduction in PMS symptoms particularly mood swings or depression, pain, cravings, and water retention — plus many of the other symptoms, as well.
Calcium deficiency triggers an elevation of female hormones in the body to stabilize the imbalance. The relationship between the abnormal calcium levels and female hormones triggers PMS symptoms. If you correct this imbalance, you will return hormone levels to their normal range. Some experts think that PMS may be a simple mineral deficiency, and that PMS symptoms could be a monthly reminder to you that you aren't consuming enough calcium, and possibly not enough vitamin D.
For many years, PMS was believed to be purely psychological. Many women were even diagnosed as being mentally ill from PMS. We now know that PMS is a physical problem involving many of the bodies hormones that work together normally, but are imbalanced during this time of a women's cycle.
Treatment is individualized depending on the type and severity of symptoms. It may include changing what you eat, over-the-counter drugs (ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), or medication prescribed by your health care provider. One approach to managing PMS provides medical and social support that may include education of the patient and her family and eliminating fear and incorrect beliefs about menstruation. If you suffer from PMS see your health care provider or gynecologist.One of the most important strategies for coping with premenstrual discomfort is developing self-awareness. The more you are aware of a pattern, the better able you will be to develop strategies to recognize and cope with your symptoms, whatever they may be.
When the chemistry of the brain is better understood, we might get a better understanding of this complex disorder that produces such a wide range of symptoms for so many women. The true incidence and nature of PMS has only recently been recognized by some health care providers, and its cause and treatment are still being studied.
While the numbers are staggering the medical profession remains at odds when it comes to identifying a cause, diagnosis and effective treatment. Today many doctors fail to acknowledge the existence of PMS; most lack the knowledge and available time required to effectively treat this female anomaly. You may find that a female health care provider is more empathetic to your needs if you suffer from PMS.

School Starting
Summer is over and I'm worried. Worried of the goals or the things that I want to achieve will go, haywire. Well I guess waking up early is getting me more than ready for school. Eatting is well what you call swallowing. And all I have to say is I miss my daycamp kids. Oh and I finally get to watch the olympics! Awesome! Ok I'm TV deprived, but all good.
What's wrong with me....??? Ok...I'm kind of all yeah..I dunno...I'm worried, tired, scared, ready, etc..Wow...I'm a lot.
Ok so lets just give up summer and just have a really good school year.
I set goals for my life every year for school. The tough part is do I ever follow through with those goals? I guess in time it's hard to say I even try.
This year I need to go and try hard and suceed.
You
are Building a Mystery
You hide your true emotions and feelings for fear of rejection.
Unfortunately, your cold façade has isolated you from those who care
most about you.
Which
Sarah McLachlan Song Are You?

Hi Michelle:
I am doing OK. I have been busy trying to fix this e-gov system
that is still having problems, whose problems coincided with
thanksgiving a year ago. I am still working in SF, same place,
same number. I also taught strategic management for awhile at
Hayward State. I am in between quarters now -- not sure if there
will be any monies for my position there. I think I have to
devote some time on my dissertation. I delayed doing any work on
it.
Stephen Wong (who you met at the church camp) asked about you a
few weeks back. He wants to go bike riding in the pennisula; but
I told him my heart was not into yet to venture there yet.
Likely, I will take him up on the offer this saturday as
Christina will be in SF to watch John Q at the Metreon with her
church fellowship. I promised Stephen I would consider it.
Because the weather looks nice, it looks like a weekend of
biking. I had been doing some indoor cycling at the 24hr
Sporting Club in San Ramon; but they kicked me out last night
when they realized that my 24hr Fitness membership wasnt valid
there.
Reverend Kan also asked about you a few months ago; as did Jeff
Liu (the optometrist).
Christina has grown more and has become much more mature now.
She can even wear my pants now. We have been snow boarding the
past weekends. She will celebrate her birthday this year at
South Lake Tahoe with her church fellowship. She also stopped
visiting her grandparents last May. It shocked the heck out of
me when she told me she didnt want to see them anymore. She
likes the bay area a lot, especially the church in SF chinatown.
Two college-aged girls have taken the role of big sister to help
her. She was baptised in January at a baptist church in
Sacramento that we used to attend. Somehow she understands the
differences between methodists and baptists. You would have been
proud of her; she gave an awesome testimony and did a violin
solo. A dear brother warned me, you better watch out she is
going to become a beautiful woman and all these boys are going to
end up chasing her. Maybe you can see the VCD on it whenever I
finish editing it.
I am getting more active in the church in SF. I will be
attending the BASS conference next week in Castro Valley and a
church career conference in Santa Cruz. I am looking forward to
the conference in Santa Cruz as its focus is on a bible character
I can relate to (Job). Job was a righteous man who had lost
everything -- his assets, his health, his wife, and children; but
Job prevailed and was richly rewarded for his perservence.
I have been traveling some recently. I am still contemplating
where to visit this easter break. Christina wants to go to
either Hawaii or Paris. I am thinking more the far east or
Canada. May have to flip the coin on this one.
In all, I am coping the best I can. It is difficult for me to
develop much encouragement and confidence. I have been playing
encourager and mentor for so long -- to students, to my staff, to
Christina, and to my church children that I have become so
emotionally drained. I keep to myself; but am inspired and
hopeful.
Sincerely yours,
Benny
My inner child is one year old!
Everything is new to me. I like watching the world
go by around me, and I don't sweat the small
stuff--or the large stuff, either. Just so long
as I stay warm and safe and dry, life's pretty
good.
How Old is Your Inner Child?

I killed 4 bees today....1 in the napkin/tissue, 1 on the grass, 1 in between potato salad, and another one on the grass.
Caleb can say name again with out getting confused with Johnny! Wooo hooo! I was sitting in Myrons car in the drivers seat and he said Christina's sitting in the drivers seat. I also played with him at dinner...I love little kiddies.

I really don't have much to write about or maybe I can just say that I'm bleh. I'm tired, and I could complain for days. So with that I don't think you would enjoy me complaining so I'm out.
God is so good to me. Yet yesterday I was over flowed with test. Those test that he gave me are more than I can handle at time. But yesterday's night prayer with Stitch was so refreshing. I laid it alll to Him. I mean it's His will and I will foloorw. If test come along I can ask God for wisdom and endurance to get through it. Wow so the 1st day of daycamp passed by. Today I woke up at 6:25AM..I think I could have woke up at 6:45 because I have 3 mins til I leave at 7. Ok I think I need to get going...Laters please pray for daycamp , leaders, and myself. Thanks!
This weekend has been a busy weekend. Friday I saw Shrek 2 by myself. Also I had my nice and fun WorldHistory final. That was pretty good I only missed 8 questions not bad. I got a final grade of a A in the class. Saturday woke up at 7:25 to go to Church and get Jamba Juice. Then I went to Uncle Galen and Aunt Lisa's wedding. It was so beautiful. Haha I want to get married now. I'm all thinking...I love it it's so beautiful and the planning process looks so fun. I guess I must be werid like that but I guess I am that way. Heheee..It was Hawaiian which was pretty could then we had a small reception in the downstairs of the church. Then we went to shop and look around til the dinner reception. I ran into Naimoi's dad on the street. Also we saw many people from SAAM and also my dad saw some of his old classmates and stuff. A big happy world heehee..So it is a small world after all. Eat galore. Heheee..Fun stuff it was one tiring day. I was soo sleepy.
Is an overwhelming summer a fun and good summer? At the end will I say, "Where did my summer really go?"
Let's just start off. I had a free week so I though...including the pulling of my teeth and a daycamp meetings. Softball games, mission meetings and more.
Then Summer School was on it's way for 3 weeks. With those three weeks I had lot of planning to do and things to get done. I also had to concentrate on school. I went shopping awhole lot too. For the 4th I watched Fireworks in San Ramon.
I also attended my cousins wedding and this weekend will attend Lisa and Galen's wedding. Also with a daycamp meeting on Saturday for the 6-8 leaders. I'll be going with Calvin to Jamba Juice to get smoothies for the leaders and Krispy Kreme Donuts.
Then the start of daycamp next Monday. With the 6-8 graders. I will be head leader and I need to really concentrate and answer the question why am I here. I wanted to pull out but God has led me to lead. I will do it for 3 weeks.
Also this Sunday I'm leading fellowship.
Then after the 3 weeks the 4th week of daycamp for me July 31-August 7th I will me in Ensenada Mexico for my missions trip which we will be doing VBS and Construction. http://crissyrav04.blogspot.com For more information.
Then the 5th week of daycamp I will be doing and then getting Spacers on Monday, Thursday bands. Then Retreat maybe then after retreat the day I get back Cougar's Day. Then Braces....

Lisa Wong and Galen Y.
July 10th, 2004
In San Francisco at 2PM. Then reception at 6PM at Far East.
Wow today me and friends went shopping in downtown Lafayette. Before that we took the bus around Walnut Creek and this crazy man sat by me...Sigh...I moved..
So shopping we went to Jamba first I got my Jamba and so did others...Tandis, Sanja, Janine, Andy, and Julie went....I got the Peanut Moo'd...yummy...Then we went to Taco Bell my two tacos! Soft as it is. Heehee...Yumm...Then we went to the little Pavilion Park and sat and waited for Jules. Then we walked over to Pure Beauty. I was kind of bored in there...but all good in was intresting how into the make up and stuff they can get. Also we went to beadazzled...it was cool we spend like an hour in each shop just looking and some buying....I got this penguin bead...sooo coool....
Then we went to Longs. The ultimate unknown! Tandis put on foundation on me...I am sooo squelly....heehee...I was like ahhh!!! Haha....oh well...So yes I have foundation on and I didn't buy it....yes! Heeheee...
2 weeks ago I went to FreshChoice on Thursday, Last week I went to FreshCoice on Tuesday, then today I went again. Wooow.....I'm getting fat...Then the wedding is a buffet also on Saturday....lol
It's so cool when you live in an area where you are acessable to everything. I can just go to Safeways, Longs, Coldstones, Jamba Juice, Trader Joes, Library, Kinkos, and etc. In 5 minutes or less! It's so cool. I can get to BART in 10 mins or less. I can get to my dentist or oral sugery place in 2 minutes. I can get to my orthodontis in 3 minutes. I mean everything is just so close.
Everything is so close. But are friends, family, and God that close? Well I just have to say totally God is closer than all of that He's like always there he is close by.....
We won! I can't believe it! Haha...maybe because Jen wasn't there?..... ;) Ok I'm mean...For fellowship I lead my little group...then someone had to butt in and say lets do it this way....oh well....Moy moy is soooo cute!!! =)
Well this week I'll be going to my cousins Amy's wedding next week I'll be going to Uncle Galens and Aunt Lisa's Wedding...not they really aren't my uncle or aunt we just call them that..
You know what ever happpened to your parents are responsible for you?
Because frankly my dad really doesn't care....he's never home, when I call he's always in a rush, I always have to find a way to get transportation, I always have to make appointments, my dads alway late, he never remembers to do anything anymore....shesshhh...
Oh well I got my Heavenly Father and mommy looking out for me up there....=)
I'm full. I've been eating alot! Yesterday I went to Fresh Choice and today went to Round Table and had a salad buffet and pizza. I'm always spoiled at my friends houses.
I guess I've had an overload of generosity. Thanks so much guys! People asking me if I needed money for my missions trip...I'm going to say no right now.
Also we went dress shopping yesterday. Let's just say we looked and looked for hours on end! But nothing...Then we went to the kids section...haha Yes, kids section. And I found something! and it fit! Lol...kind of big.....
It's so cool to get so much and lets just say so much you can't take anymore. It's cool. Well God is like that. He gives us more than we need. But also he gives us the right amount at the right time. Everything has it's time and purpose.
Today I went to watch Dodgeball. It was kind of lame. My butt kind of hurt. Heehee..I was sitting in the middle of two chairs. Melanie on my right and Michael on my left. The movie should have been rated something higher. I didn't like all the things in it...so much swearing and sexual content.
So lets get down to the reflection. Man I forget what I was going to reflect on in the movie...so here's just some of it.
Never give up. When you are about to fall and you do the negative thing you may regret it.
Like for me I think I've gaven up many times, but to a point I know I go to far. That I know if I do give up now or if I did give up I would regret what I did or chose to do. I think many times we gear off into a different direction and we never follow what we want to be or do. We follow and we more are so pursuaded by what the world thinks or does that we never think about...er..i be back.
Yesterday I went to see Angela and the Lovells. It was cool her mom was like man I haven't seen you in a long time...What was it...since K or 1st...lol. Good times. She totally was like give me a hug. Heehee...
Thats how God is when you haven't recongnized Him or gone back to Him in awhile. Know that His arms are open wide!
Also it was kind of funny today after taking my 4 teeth....2nd premolars/bicuspits we walked out 3 old ladies in the room and my dad saids bye to them! So cute! haha...

My eyes just automatically popped open today at 5:30AM! I can't believe it. I'm really tired. But yesterday night wasn't all a good night...My stomach still hurts from it...
I really fell hard yesterday emotionally. But, I knew God was there....But, something felt different...I wonder what I got into yesterday man...How can one person just start crying and not know what they're crying over? I don't know...
But I drew closer or am drawing closer to God cause of yesterday.....

My soreness is a sacrifice to my Savior.
I've been sore since Sunday and then we had to run the mile and a half yesterday. I never gave up and I tried my hardest for the glory of Him.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-9
To everything these is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to plick what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to ebrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.
We at times are anxious for things to happen. We too may think things won't happen and worry sooo much about them that sometimes we are so occupied we don't know what to do. We have to let God do his work. He has made everything beautiful in its time.
*A cool thing that happened today everyone had to use someones cell phone. My group is made up of different languages. So Sherry made her first call in Taiwanese! Then Sally in Korean, then me in Toysan/Cantonese! Sooo coool!
Father,
This summer will be
full of new experiences for me:
-summer school
-golf
-softball
-braces
-daycamp
-exciting mission trips
-vacations
-relaxation
-challenges.
Grow me, stretch me
through whatever we do,
and through wherever I go,
so that I'll end the summer
just a little more like you.
Lord,
What about you and me?
I don't want to
forget you just because
I'm off my normal school-year routine.
Keep close to me, Lord,
and remind me that my relationship
with you should never take a break.
I'm almost there! 10 more hours of school. And like 2 hours of studying!? Haha...What have I got myself into. Well lets say I get stressed to the point very easily. Like if I do something wrong, or something just happens, or if someone critisizes me..I get really stressed out to the point where I'm like I'm going to kill myself now. Because I just can't handle everything. Today when I got home I kind of went bonkers. I was like crying...I was like...man what happened to my life....? Err...I guess it's all good....,I don't know how it will go but, "my heart will say, blessed be the name of the Lord."
This summer is going to be chop chop....Summer school, Daycamp, Mission Trip, School....Very chop chop...I'm just going to let God have this summer. I'm going to let it all be His...It's his will....God is so awesome. I can't believe I endured this year....Well I didn't do it all by myself...It was Him...All Him! Thank you God for getting me this far! 3 more years til college. I'm thinking about staying close to home, who knows....God's plan will sooon reveal it self to me....
Congraduations to:
My Cuz Amy
and
Aunty Lisa and Uncle Galen!
Wedding is next month...and I have no I deer what to wear....
How about some rabbit? Haha...j/k...I don't own a dress...so I might have to look for one...and I need skirts for the missions trip...great....
Wow! God has taught me to take time out of my busy schedule for others and also to spend with him or even time just to relax! I guess since this is Finals week I thought I was going to be more stressed going into finals because for me it's already Monday and I haven't studied yet, but I feel confident enough that I will do well. So yesterday I just chilled and relaxed and listened to some great Christian Music! So today I will get a great night sleep! We start at 10:20AM tomorrow!
Am I in control of myself? Can I control my feelings? I guess today I realized how I was when I was little. There was this family that signed up for daycamp today. The little boy was like myself. Ever since Preschool to the end of my 4th grade year I would throw this big tantrum so I wouldn't have to go to school. I would kick and scream. I even broke a few things and others too went out of control of me.
God has been the stronghold for me through thick and thin.
Life comes and goes. The ones we love leave and the ones that are gone are etched into our minds.
I often wonder so who's going to be at my high school and college graduation..Will I even still be alive? Will my grandpa be there to watch me get my diploma or walk the aisle? Will my dad be there to see me recieve my diploma or walk me down the aisle?
Who's going to be there?? Will I be there? Will my friends be there? The ones that have supported me through everything? Hmm....
I often think or wonder why isn't mom going to be their? Do I even remember her at my preschool graduation?
Well God knows who will be or won't be...if I'm alive still or will I be with him....
I guess many of you guys know I went to a Youth Retreat. On the Thursday before I came down with a pretty bad cold. I didn't know what to do I was all stressed out with everything going on. Then on Saturday someone else happened...So I was like oh, boy. But, I chose to sleepover anyways. It was all good.
This week softball has been funny. But today I was pitcher what I learned was you have to be very constant with your pitches.
Same with the consistancy with God. If something is in the way or is in the road you can't just say oh that is a obstacle and let it be. You have to work your way through. Like I've been working my way to different positions in softball like 2nd and 1st base and now pitcher! Also last week God taught me also to prepare my heart more than ever.
Today I learned about pain and endurance. It wasn't as much as Christ had to endure but it was about 0%. Today we had to move things from the field. As we did so I got most of the weight of one of the structures. I thought to myself. Wow this is what Christ had to endure but more! Christ endured the pain for our lives. He took away that sin so we wouldn't have to suffer. It's so easy to say that we have so much pain, but in reality there are others that have it way worst then us. They also show the edurance. For me I ask God for my edurance. My pain wasn't sacrificial but I felt the weight and the burden of those not helping me. As times we too are in situations of pain and we too have to endure, the best people to have on ourside are God and your friends. Your friends will stand by, and God will always stand by watching, but also helping!
Reflection In Christ Everyday
Hey my name is Crissy. I'm 20 from Cali! I like to hangout with my friends, listen to music, scrapbook, sleep, and eat! I love snowboarding and rippin' the mountains and surfing the waves. I am an avid road biker, training to do some tri's. I have a heart for Kyrgyzstan and China. My goal in life is to do an Ironman. I'm in CAMARADA! I'm also in Alpha Lambda Delta! My favorite verse is... I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. ~Philippians 3:14. RAAAWWWRRRR (That means I love you in dino!)
