We woke up today, didn't we? That's how we're able to read each other's blogs, go out with our friends and family. We woke up. This proves that no one really knows when the world really ends and that they should not take advantage of rumors to do harmful things to others. You would think that if the world was ending, you would live your life to the fullest, with the people you love and the things you enjoy. Maybe go out and patch those broken relationships. Even though the world didn't end, your life, your time spent with your love ones and renewing sore relationships was well worth-it. Many of us chose to do so, while a small number of others chose not.
Today was a beautiful day. I woke up a bit cold, but I was alive, and ready to go out and have some fun. I first went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Danvi and her brother Andi in Anaheim Hills. The house was packed with excited friends and family, over sixty of us, all excited to see their faces when they arrived and saw what was waiting for them inside. The party was great, with delicious tacos, especially the ones with pork and the typical but delicious Asian meal, korean bbq. Mmm. Talk about delicious and a food baby to show off. Well, everyone had one so it wasn't a bid deal. I doubt that anyone had less than six tacos and two pieces of korean bbq, it was just too good.
Next things next, I knocked out on the way back to church. Just fell asleep. Personally, I'm like a baby, when I'm tired, I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Woke up when I arrived but I fell asleep again on a comfortable chair once I got there. When I woke up, I was like a fully charged battery, ready to perform and work until I run low again, which would probably be nine hours later, in this case. At church, the youth group grouped up and we all sang some Christmas songs, had a mini sermon, and ate some subway. I won a starbucks card, haha. Yay for me! :)
Later, after we all put on our elf and santa hats, we drove a few minutes over to a nearby senior home, where we were able to interact with an adorable group of seniors who were just as thrilled and pumped as we were to embrace and spread the Christmas love and cheer. We brought more than enough dessert for anyone to enjoy and had fun play Christmas charades and caroling together as one big cheerful community. There was a senior there named Bill who had some interesting stories to tell, some short ones from serving in World War II and others describing what life in California was like just forty years ago. So much has changed and everything that was once just vast empty land had bloomed into beautiful cities. It was a great experience for me, reaching out to all those seniors within the community, and it really warmed my heart to see them all smiling and laughing throughout the night.
December 22, 2012 was a day well spent for me. I had a wonderful day filled with laughter and joy, as I walk along the path with love and joy filled in my heart to the beautiful Christmas Day.
