hey hey guys,
OMG, there goes my last shower for four days lol...
im going on survival camp tomorrow. no showers, toilets, walls, ipods, phones, or cars. just our legs, tents, friends, a fire, a hole and baby wipes. its going to be awesome!! ahaha.
anyway, sorry havent blogged in ages, its due to my busyness yet again. life is so busy, sigh, sometimes i dont even have time to spend with God and i feel so bad cos its like im giving God my "leftover time" when i should be giving him all my time, and everything else my leftover time.
camp should be good, a chance to get away from technology, myspace, msn, phones, ipods, noise and civilisation for four days. as well as studies and my hectic music programme. should be a great time to strengthen friendships and learn to see the world from another point of view.
as always, school is crazy, i have hardly had time to eat at recess or lunchtime, cos of extra-curricular stuff and many rehearsals. its so so so BUSY! cant even talk to my friends anymore, so i have to call them at night to ask what happened at school lol.
yesterday, i saw gracie again, that was fun lol. at daydreamers indoor play and learning centre..amanda's awesome work! it was so fun, we played and "supervised" the kids on the playground and the awesome SLIDE!!!! ahaha. then we watched mean girls, and talked. good times. miss you already gracie.
anyway, i hear that fungus rally is on this satday, and as usual, everyone has been asking me to go. im thinking i should be able to, unless my parents dont let me. hope to see you all there =]
anyway, my violin exam was supposed to be today, but the stupid examiner didnt show up so now its postponed till next tuesday which is really annoying, cos i was hoping to get it all over with before camp!!! ARGH. oh well, itll be ok next tues.
i should go now cos dinner is ready, but yeah, thanks for reading my blog..LOVE YOU ADRIENNE haha..

STRESSSSS
hey guys,
its been a while yet again. im thinking i should either scrap this blog, or actually use it, cos atm its kinda half hanging. ANYWAY, if people actually read this blog, i will blog, but if no one does, then i dont really see the point lol.
lots of stuff is happening in life atm, there are my music exams, studies, assignments, homework, school stuff, friends falling apart and friendships collapsing. yup, its all happening, and its happening fast. i am stressed out to the max, and i have no time to breathe.
its not actually as bad as it sounds. despite it all, im quite happy with me & God's "state" or "relationship" right now. i wake up every morning at 7 instead of 7.30 to do my quiet time, and its been really good for me. i feel so close to God, and i know that even in my darkest moments, he is there.
everything is happening, but i know there is a reason its all happening. i was talking to jerusha the other day, about stress (it was a really short msn convo) and i came to the conclusion that its not the stress, cos we'll have stress, and cares im pretty sure for almost the rest of our lives. its how we deal with it. im sure we can put this stress and turn in into a constructive thing...somehow. i havent yet learnt the key, but am learning =]
this week, my aim is; (actually i have two lol)
1. to live for others, not myself and
2. not bagg jonny about his ego, or about being chillian lol. (but thats a silly one haha, though me and serpil thought it was a good one lol, although hes so fun to bagg)
but i wanna focus on the first. living for others, ive found is quite challenging. time and time again, i find myself starting to talk about myself, until i consiously remember that i am trying to live for others. i guess thats how we are as humans, self centered and self absorbed, but we need to begin to change it. ive tried this this week, everytime i start to talk about myself, i think of God, instead of looking at myself, i look up. (not literally) and instead of telling people what i did last night, i ask them how they are. im still trying to establish what is crossing the line and what is just needing to spill stuff out though. its hard, but im getting there.
please continue to pray for my youth group and my church. all your prayers have been appreciated.
anyway, that was just a thought.
i miss all you fungusses a lot recently, and i think im having one of those sentimental weeks, again. like jerry said. its really annoying, the timing lol.
im trying to care about other people, as much as i care about myself. i know that sounds funny, but its harder than it sounds.
I LOVEEE YOU ALL!
god bless :) and guess what? nick is out of hospital..YAY!

my blog is not dead..yet!
hey bloggers =]
life catches up and gets in the way sometimes huh? i havent blogged in forever. and i dont know where to start. hm. how bout just what has been happening lately? there'll be a huge gap since the last time i blogged, so sorry about that! if any of you want a proper fill in, call me lol. ill just put down stuff as i remember it.
1. our church has found a building!
ah, yes, but it isnt ours yet, you see, we found a building for 1.25 million (which is really cheap for a church) but we dont have that money. aparantly, the church has lowered it to 1.2 million, but we still are short of money. please pray for us, and if its God's will, then he will provide the money!
2. performing tomorrow
i am performing tomorrow, with my string sinfonia as well as camerata and i will be performing five songs, all on my violin. i'm excited, and nervous!!!
3. musical and studious stress!!
lol, well i guess everyone has it. i have my violin exam in exactly one month and two days today, so i am stressed out, cos i wanna pass (obviously) so please pray for me! also, piano exam in two months! as well as that, year 9 is getting heavier and heavier with more work and assignments, oh i cant wait for vce! oh JOY!
4. family holiday
yes, we went on a little family holiday which was fun. we went to ballarat for 3 days and basically just mucked around and drove around and ate =] hehe, it was good for our family to just spend some time together, cos it seems like we havent done a lot of that lately. we are all so busy, and that is so so sad.
5. everything is happening at school, and FAST!
so many things are happening at school atm, things i cant necesarily mention on a public blog, but God has been faithful, and i have actually been able to thank him for some of the trials ive been through over the past two years or so, cos it has actually helped me to help my friends, in tough situations as well. its exciting, but also scary, please pray for wisdom for me and my friends, as we are faced with more than one obstacle.
6. being in love with God
well, lately ive been just chilling for about half and hour or so and just talking to GOd like he's sitting next to me, and when i do, i just feel this peace and its awesome. i love talking to God. i can feel his presence and i am in awe of Him. its great, and i have experienced him in a whole new way! i cant describe just how awesome it is, you have to experience it for yourself. but God has been faithful even though sometimes it feels like hes not present.
i think thats about IT!
through it all, ive learnt heaps, in fact, the holidays (last holidays) taught me so much, and just from last holidays alone, ive grown. its amazing.
anyway, keep reading, i will try and post more often haha.
i love you ALL!
God bless,

a quick snap.
so its the holidays, and ive decided to write more since i am more free =D yesterday, we had a cartoon night with my girls from school. it was really fun, and we havent hung around much together this year, so it was cool to catch up again. and we really talked for ages, about lots. it was good. i guess it helped me to realise one thing...
and that is how caught up we can be with our own lives, in our own worlds.
i realised that there was a lot going on in my friends lives that i didnt know of. many of these girls were and are my closest friends, and thats why it shocked me the most i guess, because i didnt realise so much was going on, that i didnt know of.
i was glad i was able to have a chat with them again, and i guess i miss them a lot, in one way or another. it made me realise how caught up in my life i can be, without even wondering or realising stuff happening in other people's lives. and thats not a good thing.
i realised that i should keep my eye out more for my friends, i mean deal with my own circumstances in life, but also be involved and encourage the people around me.
so yeah, i hope you fungusses have fun at avalanche camp, and i wish i could be there with you all too...
god bless you all as the holidays draw to a close soon.
love you all

How Great is Our God
it has been-yet again-a long time since i have blogged last. so much has happened. it is the holidays now. lots has happened during the holidays. i'll just blog as things come to me.
1. god is great!
i visited fungus on friday, and it was cool, cos i havent seen many of you for AGES. i havent been to a fungus service for a year a two months, and it was awesome visiting again. it bought back so many memories. alvin lead praise and worship for the first time, and i am so proud of him! anyway, the fungus band sang, "how great is our God", and while they were singing, my mind flashed back to my farewell, and i remembered bawling my eyes out as my last fungus service played out. i started to thank God for sticking by me, throughout the whole year, and i realised that God is so so great, i never imagined any of the stuff that would happen after i leave fungus, but i realised that through it all, God has been there, always with me, always there for me. i was really thankful, and i praised him for all that he'd done.
2. visiting fungus!
well, i visited fungus on friday night, and it was cool seeing everyone again. i miss you all already xD i met some of the new people who arent really that new anymore, and they thought I was new haha. anyway, met jonno and chris? and some other people, lol. also got to see everyone again. i miss kevin's hugs LOL. it great to see how awesomely God has worked in fungus, using everyone to bring people to church, and to God.
3. spending three days with grace ling.
lol, went shopping with grace and rach on thursday to celebrate rach's extremely late birthday at chadstone, we walked around for literally five hours, and covered the ENTIRE chadstone shopping centre. everything was on sale! haha, it was fun though. then, on friday, we had an oc rerun marathon. stef and angie came over, and we celebrated stef's late birthday too lol. it was fun, in the morning though, me and grace went to the video shop, and it was closed so we went to a cafe for hot chocolate =] anyway, that was random, that night i visited fungus of course. then, grace came back to my house to sleep, and came with me to my youth group outing on saturday.
4. DNMS with dora and bec
on monday night, dora and bec slept over, and we had a really long dnm, (deep and meaningful talk) and we talked about so so much in our lives, it was good to get it ALL out.
5. tahela workshops
we are holding FREE hip hop workshops at my church for three weeks. its gonna be awesome! i am i charge of kids this sunday, so i have been working and planning like crazy for this sunday. lol.

the Yellow Leaf
The Yellow Leaf; Isaac Ho.
June '07 (my fungus farewell)
Summer's fading,
A chilling wind starts to blow.
As leaves start to fall,
So do friends come and go.
Trees grow proud,
As they boast crowns of gold.
But when that last leaf falls,
The trees shiver in cold.
You're like that last leaf,
So bright and full of cheer,
As time goes on,
We'll all miss you dear.
A youthful cheer's lost,
We all heave a sigh.
But we'll always remember,
The time you said "Goodbye".

overwhelming
adrienne has asked me to blog, so this one is for you girlie. lately, its been busy. really really busy. but through it all, ive had time to talk to God heaps. i actually fasted from friday to sunday, and i was really asking God for many things. praying for lots actually. many things have happened and come up, so ill just blog as i remember stuff...
well, firstly, heres a testimony for you all! our church is taking a small team of people to thailand and cambodia for a short-term missions trip, and i'd been praying, asking God to provide, because my parents said it would be hard for us to afford both me and my dad to go, so i was gonna go next year, but God provided. someone in my church is sponsoring me to go! she actually offered to pay for EVERYTHING so i could go, i thought that was a real prayer answered! God is so awesome.
secondly, ive had much on my plate, in terms of ministry. im organising a princess day for the girls, and im basically the only one organising it. then theres worship team, tahela dance and prayer meeting. its kinda crazy, but im enjoying it. i went for the adult prayer meeting on tuesday, and it was my first time, and i personally am very used to a loud prayer meeting, where everyone speaks in tongues etc. but our new church is more conservative, and so it was kinda quiet. i find it a bit hard to get used to. but, it was good.
i believe God is going to send revival to our church, i am praying my heart out for it. please please pray with me, because i know that the people in our church really need a touch from God right now.
also, piano and violin exams. AHHH! im going to die, grade 6 piano and grade 3 violin (ok, doesnt sound that hard,) but i am like absolutely scared to death. lol, i am practicing so so hard for it.
one of the sunday school teachers will be leaving sunday school next month, and it might be a great opportunity for me to get back into kids ministry, i really really miss kids so much, especially my fga kids, i miss you kidies so so much. anyway, god has left the door to kids ministry tightly shut for a year now, and ive been praying about it for ages, i really think that kids is my passion, but obviously God has other plans, it may be time for me to get back into this ministry again, so we'll see. im absolutely ready to go back to kids now.
oh yeah, exams are over phew! and i did pretty well. i think they were over last time i blogged too. i will try and blog more, sorry guys, life, kinda gets in the way, its not good huh?
anyway, holidays soon, i cannot wait!!
so yeah, continue to pray for my church and youth, and continue to pray that God will work awesomely, and use our family in this ministry.
thanks guys xo.
BTW,
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEFI!
my azn poser, i love you forever babe. =.="
its our little man.
and and,
congrats to alex-may and chris ong for the birth of baby grace ong (i realize this is kinda late lol)

who am i?
lately, ive been asking myself a lot of deep questions, big questions about life. it kinda makes me seem almost emo in that way i guess, but im sure there comes a point when everyone asks questions like these. "who am i?" or "who do i want to be?" or "who does God want me to be?" and much more questions like that are coming up. ive been asking God, seeking him more like about these questions. ive been frantically reading my bible, and pondering over these questions. ive never really had time to kinda stop and just THINK about these questions, which makes me really sad. is life just getting way too busy? i mean it seems like theres not even enough time to call friends and just catch up anymore.
im not saying we shouldnt have lots going on in our lives, these are OUR years, to be young and carefree and happy and have things happening in our lives, but are we just getting too caught up in study, in our lives to stop and think about where were heading in life in the first place? a teacher read us an essay that a guy wrote (i think he was in year 11 or something) and basically, a quick summary goes like this...
they were asked to write about what they think heaven is like. so, he ssaid something like, "i woke up and i was in a room full of files in filing cabinets. in the files, were everything about my life, every single detail, from girls i have liked, to music i have listened to, to times i have doubted God etc. i started pulling out a few files, and reading each card. i felt shame as well as guilt, horror and disgust at some of the things i'd done. i felt good and happy, and satisfied on the other hand at some of the other cards i'd read. then, there was a drawer marked, "people i have shared the gospel with". the drawer had a shining, golden handle, and i opened it. i was ashamed to find how little there was. then, i pulled out the seemingly huge file marked "tv shows i have watched" and i felt shame to see that i have wasted so much time watching all these shows." on each of the card, i noticed that my name was signed on them. each and every one. i began to cry and weep at my life. i thought, "no one must ever see this room! i must destroy all these files." just then, a man walked in, he began opening all the files, and signing every single card, signing his name over mine. then, after he'd signed every single card, he looked at me with pity, i started crying. that man was jesus. just then, i woke up."
it was something like that, except heaps longer. and yeah, it really got me thinking about what im doing with my life. (lol sorry, this blog is a little bit all over the place) and i think i should spend more time sharing the gospel about God, because (as travis said today in devotions...) all things we seem to value now will all fade away, why not we invest and value the things that will last forever?
we should take a step back, to seek God. to know where you are heading, and make sure you stay on the narrow path. dont fall off and go to the wide path, because it leads to death and destruction, but look to Jesus, and continue to walk on the narrow path, as it leads to life. be one of the few that finds this path. we should ask god about the bigger things in life, and take time to ponder over these things, dont get too caught up in life, and end up regretting things youve done.
btw, here is what was written on myspace a while ago, and i thought it was good, so ill post it up..
here is the truth.
we live in possibly the most confusing and complicated generation of all time. the Y generation. we are a generation deafened by the music on our i-pods, blisters from typing messages and glued to our computers. we are a generation who are absolutely and utterly addicted to cam whoring, entertainment and the media. while the world around is is screaming for help, we are too busy browsing through blogs and myspace profiles to realise. we make no effort to stop poverty, hunger and injustice around the world. in a world full of unmistaken identities, adults have labelled most of us too focused on our own insignificant lives to care. we must start to live in our lives, endure pain, hurt and suffering, find joy in our lives and in Christ, and make a difference in this world before we each have to leave it.
so yeah, think about that. and God Bless!
Lots of Love,

they were asked to write about what they think heaven is like. so, he ssaid something like, "i woke up and i was in a room full of files in filing cabinets. in the files, were everything about my life, every single detail, from girls i have liked, to music i have listened to, to times i have doubted God etc. i started pulling out a few files, and reading each card. i felt shame as well as guilt, horror and disgust at some of the things i'd done. i felt good and happy, and satisfied on the other hand at some of the other cards i'd read. then, there was a drawer marked, "people i have shared the gospel with". the drawer had a shining, golden handle, and i opened it. i was ashamed to find how little there was. then, i pulled out the seemingly huge file marked "tv shows i have watched" and i felt shame to see that i have wasted so much time watching all these shows." on each of the card, i noticed that my name was signed on them. each and every one. i began to cry and weep at my life. i thought, "no one must ever see this room! i must destroy all these files." just then, a man walked in, he began opening all the files, and signing every single card, signing his name over mine. then, after he'd signed every single card, he looked at me with pity, i started crying. that man was jesus. just then, i woke up."
it was something like that, except heaps longer. and yeah, it really got me thinking about what im doing with my life. (lol sorry, this blog is a little bit all over the place) and i think i should spend more time sharing the gospel about God, because (as travis said today in devotions...) all things we seem to value now will all fade away, why not we invest and value the things that will last forever?
we should take a step back, to seek God. to know where you are heading, and make sure you stay on the narrow path. dont fall off and go to the wide path, because it leads to death and destruction, but look to Jesus, and continue to walk on the narrow path, as it leads to life. be one of the few that finds this path. we should ask god about the bigger things in life, and take time to ponder over these things, dont get too caught up in life, and end up regretting things youve done.
btw, here is what was written on myspace a while ago, and i thought it was good, so ill post it up..
here is the truth.
we live in possibly the most confusing and complicated generation of all time. the Y generation. we are a generation deafened by the music on our i-pods, blisters from typing messages and glued to our computers. we are a generation who are absolutely and utterly addicted to cam whoring, entertainment and the media. while the world around is is screaming for help, we are too busy browsing through blogs and myspace profiles to realise. we make no effort to stop poverty, hunger and injustice around the world. in a world full of unmistaken identities, adults have labelled most of us too focused on our own insignificant lives to care. we must start to live in our lives, endure pain, hurt and suffering, find joy in our lives and in Christ, and make a difference in this world before we each have to leave it.
so yeah, think about that. and God Bless!
Lots of Love,

A - abilities. things i am good at, that no one else is. i think i always focus on my flaws rather than my abilities and talents.
B - best friends. people who i can always know have got my back. people who will stick by me no matter how much crap i give them. thanks guys!
C - Comfort food. oo like chocolate. things that make you feel better, ice cream, m&ms, when all else fails, EAT CHOCOLATE!
D - dancing. dance like no ones watching. its the funnest. and definitely and awesome way to praise God!
E - extended family. i miss them all each and everyday, but its them whos made me ME. they have impacted my life, more than they know. and its people like them who make this world..lets say..interesting LOL.
F - friends (since i just thanked my family.) friends are people who i can definitely count on. they say friends are the family you choose for yourself. friends are people who will never give up on you, even if you give up on yourself. together, we laugh, we cry, we have fun. thanks all of you for always being there.
G - grass. the best bed when its not wet or cold. the good times when we were kids and just used to play and laugh in the grass.
H - hugs! the greatest thing anyone could give you. small thing, can mean so much!
I - ice cream. especially, mint choc chip, triple choc, cookie dough and COLD ROCK! and trampoline, but thats gelati LOL.
J - Jesus, for dying on the cross for me. i love you jesus.
K - kids. they continually remind me that life is too short to worry. they continually remind me that sometimes, you just gotta smile. the remind me of the faith that i should also have. that everything will be ok, just chill.
L - life. for my life. for lives of the people whom i love. life is the essence of all this.
M - music. my i-pod shuffle and my cd player, and my cds and my itunes. i love my music. my piano and violin too. i love getting lost in a different world. worshipping the Father with music. its so awesome.
N - nice people. the people in this world who make it a better place, just by being in it.
O - orange, fungus. LOL sorry, i cant think of anything. but fungus' signature colour is orange so... yeah! haha. fungus was my old youth group, and you guys have made such an impact on my life. i miss each and every one of you everyday still. i continue to pray that God will build your youth and he will really touch you all. love you all so so much!
P - princess. i am God's princess, a daughter of a King. that is so awesome, to know that he loves me so much.
Q - quiet times. times when i can just sit there with my friends, and have silences, but be embracing each other's company. someone once said that you know when your good friends when silence is no longer awkward.
R - Rest. like now. i can just chill, and not worry about exams, tahela, church, school, homework, music, piano or anything. just taking it all in.
S - Stars. so many memories, they bring back good times. and times that i will never forget. a wise (young) man once said, "everytime you feel scared, or are facing something hard, all you need to do is look up and see the stars, and remember that God is there for you. and so am i..."
another S - Smiles. they can brighten everyone's day, and it is free to give, and priceless to recieve. walk around and SMILE!
T - tomorrow. we never know we have tomorrow, we just hope. and everytime i wake up in the morning, i take for granted that i can have the chance to wake up at all.
U - Umbrellas. to keep us dry! haha.
V - Very long emails. they usually mean something meaningful, especially from Isaac or grace, cos yano they took time from their busy busy lives to write back.
W - water. we are now lacking it. water is so precious. without, we cannot live.

quick its EXAM WEEK!
hey guys,
ill take this opportunity of breathable time to write a short and quick post..
exam week is finally here!!! and ive been studying non stop, to the point that i thin kmy brain cannot hold any more information. LOL. this week has been a busy, hectic, stressful but suprisingly good week. all in all, ive managed to live through it!
on sunday, i went to pray by myself before the service started. i took out my bible and read Amos 9:13-15 and it really spoke to me. it said,
13 “The time will come,” says the Lord, “when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine!
14 I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine.
15 I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.
i was reading and i started praying, for my church, for my youth group, for kids ministry. i asked God to send revival, to bless this church and help us to grow. i asked God to ignite a fire and a passion within the hearts of the Ground Zero Youth. i asked God to raise up leaders in the church. i prayed and prayed these things, over and over again. i felt really close to God. i knew he was listening.
kelvin came to church that day, and i guess most of you who read my blog dont know him, but basically, i've been praying for this guy since like last year. i pray for him every night, and he comes to church like once in two months or something. but im glad he came.
i might be going on a missions trip to Cambodia and Thailand at the end of this year! its not confirmed yet, only if we can pay for it, but it will be awesome if i can!!
anyway, continue to pray for my youth group and our church.
thanks guys
godbless,
danica

ACMI, spidey 3, studying and LIFE.
hey hey,
im thinking i should really make blogging a habit, cos i'm really getting slack LOL. well, let me tell you all a little bit of what i've been doing this extremely crazy and busy week!
Monday:
well, on monday, it was pretty much nothing different, studied and such.
Tuesday:
we went for a chinese excursion with the year 7s, 8s and 9s to the great wall of china exhibition in the city and that was a WASTE OF TIME! we had to fill in the stupid sheets and it was so boring haha.
Wednesday:
on wednesday, it was dad's birthday. so we went out for dinner, then i came home and studied haha, this blog is getting more and more thrilling!!
Thursday:
well, thursday was the fun day! we went to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and we filmed an actual movie with the green screen and everything. we got to use proper film equipment. it was so fun! we got to have lunch around the city, and it bought back good memories from citycite. i miss citycite haha. it was fun though. then, on the way back in the bus, we were all going crazy haha it was funny.
Friday:
I GOT MY PHOTOGRAPHY PICTURE DEVELOPED!! haha you can see the increased enthusiasm since it is in caps. i am so happy cos now, i dont have to get frustrated again. yeah, and i scanned my pic onto photoshop and used the mac lab to edit it. it was fun.
Saturday:
yesterday, we went for yum cha and then after that, i met lots of the funguses to watch spidey 3 at knox. that was kinda fun, except, i didnt get to see most of you guys for long. LOL vonnie and jassa, we were the only ones watching spidey and me and von talked through the WHOLE movie haha. the kid and his mum in front of us kept looking at us. von was like, as soon as the credits roll, we run, cos theyre really angry at us haha. anyway, i screamed like three times and they KEPT looking at us. it was really quite funny. good times.
Sunday:
oo today, today was ok, except we didnt have many people at church. that was kinda disappointing, but yano, you can never give up =] me and fi started planning our friday night this sat (cos were in charge this sat haha) and yeah, sounds like its gonna be heaps of FUN! woohoo. [IF YOURE NOT DOING ANYTHING THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, FROM 7.30-ABOUT 10, COME TO OUR FRIDAY NIGHT! ITS A GAMESHOW THEME.] yup yup.
anyway, on the way back from church today, i was just scrolling my ipod and i got to this song (thats playing now) Sa Rang Hae Yo by JJ Lin, and i remembered my farewell. i was like woah, that was a long time ago, and i found myself sheding a tear (just one), but i think im getting more over it than before. (if that makes sense which reading it now, it doesnt haha) anyway, that reminds me that ISAAC HO OWES ME A POEM! haha, that poem. i still miss all you fungusses so much though.
i think now with God, i feel like i just need to continue to press into him, he's not just there yano? yano sometimes in your life, God is just there? well, right now, i have to actually find and seek him before i find him. im thinking i need to chill with studies and just come before him. i keep thinking though - not enough time, need to study and all this stuff, but really, God should be first.
anyway, continue to pray for my youth group and yeah, for me too.
thanks for reading this =]
and btw gracie, i know haha, but i couldnt be stuffed changing it.
love you all
godbless.

we live.
This was my diary entry last night, i thought i might blog it.
19/5/07
we live. we love. we cry. we hurt.
we try. we smile. we never give up.
I am who i am because of all the mistakes I've made
I know that everytime I hurt,
I will smile a thousand times more.
I know that everytime I cry,
I will be happier later on.
i know that everything I've done cannot be reversed,
I just simply have to learn from my faults.
Learn to accept the things I can't change,
and change the things I can.
If we can all learn this,
perhaps we may all lead happier lives that might prove simpler.
Never doubt the prayer, never doubt faith.
Never doubt the power of God.
Believe and trust in Him,
Fall at his knees, and cry out.
He hears our cries.
Give everything to him,
because he cares for you.
Begin to see the world from a different point of view,
observe things.
"Maybe happiness is not about having everything in your life perfect. Maybe its about stringing together all the little things in life. Maybe all we can do is our best, and that's all we can ask for." - Bailey, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
Life is short,
Love it,
Embrace it,
Live in it!
Godbless guys,

music, studies and life.
haha no, despite what you all think, i have not died. i have simply not blogged in a very long time because it is all becoming a blur lately. so much to do, so little time. i havent had time to just breathe let alone blog, so bear with me, and continue to check this blog, as i might blog still LOL. my life over the last week or so has been very eventful, very eventful. where do i start? gosh, well i'll just write down whatever comes to mind over this week..
1. Mel is pregnant!!
my cousin's wife is pregnant, haha i'm going to be an aunty. my dad was like, "i feel so old to be a great-uncle!" congrats to LEMUEL yee, the first to carry on the surname YEE in our generation. and to mel yee, hope it all goes well for them, im so excited!
2. danica, scared of dolls, became one today.
LOL, yes, i am terrified of dolls and clowns (haha isaac, jerry is so MEAN!) anyhoo, we had a drama makeup workshop today and i became a doll and it was really scary, i made myself up, and i scared myself in the miror LOL. i think ill have nightmares of myself tonight haha.
3. mothers day
yes, it was mothers day on sunday, the Tahela video had its premiere too, the dancing turned out really good, im so proud of my tahela kiddies :) also, GZ was awesome HAHA! yeah, "who ordered the char siu pau?" LOL.
4. encouraged
as you all know from my previous blog, something pretty awesome happened last week, this has encouraged me and i shared this with my youth group. i told them all to continue praying and not give up, no matter what.i told them all that God is listening, we just gotta trust in him for growth, i am convinced, that if revival can be bought to my school, revival can happen anywhere, including our youth group.
5. music prac last night
ps ray chee came to speak to us at music last night. he prayed for us too, i was really encouraged and im so glad that i got a reply to the question i asked God. God is truly good, and it turns out that music is my ministry at church.
6. piano & violin
well, i talked to someone who is doing piano for VCE and im kinda scared now, it sounds kinda hard and i hate performing in front of people. my piano teacher is becoming more and more of a perfectionist and i feel like my music is really getting harder. that drives me to practice more, and i guess get more determined, but im kinda nervous about my coming music exams.
7. MATHS!
ahhhhhh. i dont get maths anymore haha. im really nervous about exams coming up, and i dont wanna fail. the goal i set for myself this year was try hard in everything i do. get good grades and practice hard. i dno if i can..
8. exams in two and a half weeks!!!
STUDYING is so draining! and with two assignments as well, i dunno how exam studying is even gonna fit into it all, im really feeling scared about it.
9. photography at school
photography has made me feel like i have no lunch times or breaks at school. ive spent so many lunchtimes in the darkroom. my pictures keep coming up really crap, and enlarging is SO HARD! AH! anyway, photography is not as easy as i thought it would be, especially using SLR cameras and all, i had to re-shoot my whole term's work in one day last week, and now i cannot enlarge the picture i want, cos i just cant get the filter, or enlarging time or size or focus right, and its really starting to bug me! LOL. also, there is no fashion designing as a subject next semester, which means i have to do VCD instead, and i really didnt want to!! GAH.
10. overall, life is just a blur
i guess i havent really had time to just STOP and think. ive kinda been really busy lately, with church stuff too. like im leading praise and worship with the kids on sunday, and as a result of so much stuff, ive had many rehearsals and things like that, i havent had anytime to just chill, yano? so i just feel a little stressed out and things like that.
LIFE all up though, has been good, just busy. i think i need to take a chill-pill and chillax LOL. but, keep praying and reading, and i shall post up some pictures, probably this saturday. thanks for reading, and keep reading!!
god bless you all,
much much love,
daniyee.

as you all know from my previous blog, something pretty awesome happened last week, this has encouraged me and i shared this with my youth group. i told them all to continue praying and not give up, no matter what.i told them all that God is listening, we just gotta trust in him for growth, i am convinced, that if revival can be bought to my school, revival can happen anywhere, including our youth group.
5. music prac last night
ps ray chee came to speak to us at music last night. he prayed for us too, i was really encouraged and im so glad that i got a reply to the question i asked God. God is truly good, and it turns out that music is my ministry at church.
6. piano & violin
well, i talked to someone who is doing piano for VCE and im kinda scared now, it sounds kinda hard and i hate performing in front of people. my piano teacher is becoming more and more of a perfectionist and i feel like my music is really getting harder. that drives me to practice more, and i guess get more determined, but im kinda nervous about my coming music exams.
7. MATHS!
ahhhhhh. i dont get maths anymore haha. im really nervous about exams coming up, and i dont wanna fail. the goal i set for myself this year was try hard in everything i do. get good grades and practice hard. i dno if i can..
8. exams in two and a half weeks!!!
STUDYING is so draining! and with two assignments as well, i dunno how exam studying is even gonna fit into it all, im really feeling scared about it.
9. photography at school
photography has made me feel like i have no lunch times or breaks at school. ive spent so many lunchtimes in the darkroom. my pictures keep coming up really crap, and enlarging is SO HARD! AH! anyway, photography is not as easy as i thought it would be, especially using SLR cameras and all, i had to re-shoot my whole term's work in one day last week, and now i cannot enlarge the picture i want, cos i just cant get the filter, or enlarging time or size or focus right, and its really starting to bug me! LOL. also, there is no fashion designing as a subject next semester, which means i have to do VCD instead, and i really didnt want to!! GAH.
10. overall, life is just a blur
i guess i havent really had time to just STOP and think. ive kinda been really busy lately, with church stuff too. like im leading praise and worship with the kids on sunday, and as a result of so much stuff, ive had many rehearsals and things like that, i havent had anytime to just chill, yano? so i just feel a little stressed out and things like that.
LIFE all up though, has been good, just busy. i think i need to take a chill-pill and chillax LOL. but, keep praying and reading, and i shall post up some pictures, probably this saturday. thanks for reading, and keep reading!!
god bless you all,
much much love,
daniyee.

the day God rocked Oxley
today was a significant day in year nine for me. God was so present in our school today. i have to write this quickly as we are going out!
ok so everyone has heard about see you at the pole. basically, it is a yearly prayer meeting held in high schools all over australia where people gather at their flagpoles to pray for australia, their schools, and the world. see you at the pole started at an early 7.30 am at our school and to my suprise (and i think everyone's suprise) one hundred over people turned up. it was awesome. God's presence was really there and we all prayed so hard for australia. we had a good time of worship as well and we were able to acknowledge the goodness and the greatness of god despite how extremely freezing the temperature was. after that, we enjoyed a hot (and cold) waffle breakie in the home ec room with ice cream yum!
anyway, at chapel, sarah's brother chris dickson came to speak. chris dickson is an aussie rapper and he currently has a record deal. anyway, he came to speak at our chapel. first, he did a rap and everyone kinda got into it, then, he shared with us all a bit about his life. he shared with us all the stories which at times were a bit scary. then, he did an alter call. he did one of those close your eyes, bow your heads and raise your hands ones. and then, he said people who raised their hands could walk down to the altar. and no one came. for a while, once someone left their seat, literally more than half the school came flooding to the altar. most of year nine was at the altar, there wasnt even enough room at the front for all of us, people were standing in the aisles. everyone had tears in their eyes, even the guys. we were all crying. as the teachers began to pray for us, we also began to lay hands on each other. people gave their lives to jesus christ today. it was such an awesome time. for me, i really started crying when one of my friends who is kinda anti christian went down the front, man i was bawling my eyes out! everyone was so caring there and everyone just gave their lives to god and it was awesome to see. god really bought revival to our school today. i am so excited! altar call and praying basically went through lunch and they ended up extending lunch till 2.00 and even then, we only left chapel at 2.00 haha! it was a great time, and i have never hugged that many people in my life!!
anyway, after that, it was so funny cos none of us had had our lunch and we all had to go to class. at english, mrs vallve let us all go eat while it was class and the she was like whos hungry? haha and we were all like ME! and then she took us to the staffroom and let us eat all the food made by the year 10 home ec students for the teachers. it was so funny, and then we went through the fridge and drank cordial and mrs vallve got a camera and took all these pics haha. we all were like WE LOVE YOU MRS VALLVE! haha, we didnt do any work that period.
today was definitely a day to remember in year nine. i thank god for the lives that were saved today. it was truly the most awesome day ever.
thankyou God!
aiight, i have to go haha

the hope i have in Jesus and one year without you.
so, two different things in my post today.
1. the hope i have in Jesus.
yesterday at church, dad spoke about why believe what we believe, and particularly the passage in 1 Peter 3, when it talks about having an answer if ever a non believer asks us why we have our hope in Jesus. i'd never really thought about why. i've never questioned my faith, i mean ive had my doubts, but never actually questioned WHY? when i got home, i kinda asked God about it. i talked to Him and asked him WHy DO, i have this faith? WHY DO i have hope in Jesus Christ? i wasnt sad or anything, but tears streamed down my face and as i was crying, i felt God speaking to me. i realised, that i have hope in Jesus, because i know that no matter what happens, he'll always be here for me. i know that even in my darkest moments, he is my light and he will never leave me. my diary entry last night said this;
"I have hope because my saviour lives. He died and rose again. I have hope because i know even when everything around me is hopeless, Jesus shines through. I HAVE HOPE BECAUSE HE LIVES!"
this is what was written last night. when i got home from school today, i kinda wrote a song, just with really simple lyrics and chords. (somehow, the songs i write always sound like other songs. this chord arrangement sounded like ALL I NEED IS YOU by HILLSONG UNITED just in another key, LOL. oh well)
this song was about HOPE and the lyrics were from my diary entry (or based on it anyway)
_________________________♥
I HAVE HOPE BECAUSE HE LIVES
by danica yee, inspired by God; since 7/5/07.
i have this hope
inside of me
i have this hope
because i know
my saviour lives
i know he lives
and i have hope
because i know that
even when everything
around me crumbles
to the ground
Jesus SHINES through
i have hope because
He Lives!
In Christ alone,
i hold onto my hope
all hopelessness
fades away...
_______________________♥
so that was my song, with really simple lyrics.
anyway, im glad that i could grow just that bit more in God. i am eternally thankful for all the things he does in my life.
2. and one year without you.
yes yes, it is officially ONE year since i left fungus, one year today. in a way, it feels so fast, but also, it feels like ive been at cornerstone forever, im not sure if that makes sense, but anyway. i was listening to sarang hae yo yesterday and i remembered how much that song meant to me just a year ago, it bought back memories. memories of the poem, memories of the random dance, memories of "thats what friends are for", memories of the game where i had to spit water into a bucket, memories of ice cream craft, norway (LOL sunday school..) and memories of tears, and MANY NANY HUGS!
but as i look back on this year, it has been the most hardest, incredible, maturing, learning year of my life. Leaving fungus is no joke, gotta be the hardest thing ive ever had to do. i mean i move around heaps, but leaving fungus felt like a part of me was being ripped out of my heart. as i looked back on this year, i found myself thanking God for it. because i know that if it hadnt been for this year, i wouldnt be the person i am today, or made the friends i have, or grown as much as i have in him. ive really learnt to trust him, and although at times i get frustrated, ive learnt to be patient and persevere. its been a GREAT year, filled with heartbreaks, laughter, tears and joy, but all in all, a very very growing and trying year for me.
WOW, one year! time does pass quick..
anyway, i think im done now hehe
thanks for reading this SPOT!
keep praying for my gramps.
love you all,
peace out.

a flashback
about an hour ago, my dad told me that it was CONFIRMED that my grandpa has prostate cancer. i dont know what it is, or if it can be cured or not, but i do know something; my mind flashed back to the times i spent with my beloved grandpa. i remembered all the times i had spent with him as a kid. i love my grandparents dearly, and my grandpa is no exception.
my mind flashed back to the times he used to take us to KFC on the holidays. me, aaron, dave & don (and sometimes hau yang and yu yang) would get in my grandma's old green car and we would drive to KFC. we had many memories there. i remember when my grandpa would take me on his motorcycle around the block, i had lots of fun.
he taught me how to behave, how to be polite and not rude. he taught me how to respect my elders. he taught me how to be a good friend.
i Love you grandpa.
please pray for him guys, as he is not saved yet.
my short short post.
much love and i might edit this post to make it longer later. for now, keep reading this spot =]
love love xo

a realisation
yesterday, while we were driving to school, dad told me about the three christians who were martyred in Turkey. Up till now, ive told htis story about five times to other people because unlife what i've read, it was really gruesome and evil. i've read plenty of Jesus Freak books, talking about people who are martyred and do incredible things to stand for Jesus, but nothing could perpare me for this story.
on April 18th 2007, two missionaries and a pastor was martyred in the most gruesome way possible. but, lets go back a little bit..
these three courageous men ran a bible study every week for a group of uni students, even though they faced persecution. little did they know that these uni students were actually extreme muslims who were planing a plot against them. these uni students were plotting to kill the three men. so, one day, they tied them up and killed them. but they didnt just shoot them; oh no! they did something much worse.. they cut each and every of those men into pieces. small pieces and they let them slowly die. one of these men were found with 167 stab wounds (or something like that), another, about the same, and the third, too many stab wounds to count! the men who had plotted to kill against them were arrested, and put into jail, but, their parents of these young men said that they were proud their boys could do it for allah, and it didnt matter that they were going to prison. the wife of one of the men who were killed came out and said something that im not usre i couldve said," god, forgive them, because they dont know what they have done!"
but what i take out most from this story is..
if i was one of those men.. would i have had to courage to stand up for jesus knowing that i face the most gruesome death? would i have stood up for my faith?
on a more happier note..
i was glad to have spent some time with God today, and thanking Him for the beautiful things he has made. i was riding my bike (exercise for our PE theory assignment!) to the milkbar and back and while i was doing so, there was the most beautiful sunset i'd seen. this reminded me of how awesome and great God is. (just something for you all to think about)
on a lighter note..
i did something very interesting today! i developed my very first roll of film! with chemicals and everything in the darkroom at school today for photography. that was quite fun! we had to roll the film onto the spool and put it into the large canister while it was pitch dark and we couldnt see anything! it was a bit stressful i must admit cos we didnt wanna wreck our film. but we did it, then, we had to use the developer, stopbath and fixer and then rinse with water after that. then we had to hang it up to dry. it was lots of fun though and i found it very interesting!
anyway, i have decided to start a photo of the week thing seeing that this whole blog is very photo-ish.. this one is of me and my cousins when we were little =] i think it was taken in about 1998. from left; me, aaron, dave, donny haha.

6 pictures; 6 days.
well, the last seven days of my life have been quite eventful, that is why i havent really had much time to post a new blog. here are the things that have happened; in the very VERY eventful life of the one and only danica yee.
monday;
on monday, i went to school (woohoo.) very eventful day. LOL. we had PE and i had to run laps around the oval. how many laps in 12 minutes. that is what we had to do. unfortunately, i didnt have time to warm up because the musician side of me won that day; i had a violin lesson. i only had 15 minutes of a PE lesson, so i had no time to warm up. this made me very sore the next day - very sore!
tuesday;
on tuesday, i went to school (haha woohoo.) yet again; very eventful day. that night though, i went to Gracie's house for a sleepover as it was her birthday the next day. we went to jazz ria in our pretty dresses and heels and ate lots of food, and drank coconut juice. then, we went to the supermarket to stock up on warheads, pringles, malteasers, skittles and several other types of junk food; as well as buying gracie a peter's ice cream cake. we went back to her house, cam whored; and then ate the ice cream cake (and sang happy birthday!!) took more pictures and then ended up sleeping at a very early 11.30 PM.
wednesday;
on wednesday, it was anzac day. it was gracie's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, YOURE A HUNDRED AND TWO, YOU LOOK LIKE A MONKEY...AND YOU SMELL LIKE ONE TOO!) random moment LOL. me and grace got ready, put on our baggy hoodies and trackies, and her school friends came over. we ate junk food, played eye toy, ate chockie cake & wedges for lunch and (wait for it..) watched 8 episodes of gilmore girls. thats right, 8 hours straight of fast talking drama. i met camy, bella, rose, amy, setf, emma & daisy for the first time. it was heaps fun. my parents came to pick me up at about 4 or so and i went for music practice. it was the first time is ages i have sang with the entire music team. it was fun though.
thursday;
on thursday, it was atheletics day. that was fun. we ate icypoles, salt and vinegar chips AND coca-cola. we cheered for the blue house! and we won tunnelball (go the under 16 blue team tunnelballers! yeah we rock!) haha. it was a fun day to muck around with friends and laugh and see dale all red.. literally. after school, i had piano lesson and then chin-ee, sis, jude, indi, lee-lor and kong came for dinner..we had curry laksa YUM. and i talked to kev my super friend a lot LOL. funny times.
friday;
on friday, we had music camp. we went to wonga park and rehearsered with tthe string orchestra for like 5 hours that day. no, 5 1/5 hours! me and grace had to run strings and we were dead. LOL grace..thomas tapping his foot HAHA. everytime thomas tapped his foot, i laughed so hard and stuffed up my part LOL. anyhoo, i had lunch with jonno, johnny, tiani & charnelle and then more rehearsals and then afternoon tea and more rehearsals, and we played piggy in the middle with the grade 3 & 6's. and then we went home. good fun music camp was. then, we went to drop dinner at lydia & claudia's new house. ITS GINORMOUS, that house!! anyhoo, then, we went to roy, ryan & kristy's house for dinner (the man - utd. crazy fans. yes, their dad named them after man - utd. players! roy kean, ryan gigs and christian ronaldo). watched the suite life of zack and cody and charlie and the chocolate factory.
saturday;
today, me and mum went shopping. we left for the train station at 9.30 am and caught a train to hawthorn. then, we caught the 75 tram to church street to go shopping! WOOT! i got a $16 jacket, $2 shorts and $20 dress/top thing. it was fun. we just got back and now im dead tired. time for homework now i guess! YAY!
yesterday, mum said that she'd let me do hip-hop at croydon school of dance and then go to unitd styles every now and again cos its ages away. im so excited, but then she said id have to choose between that and joining the choir. i really wanna join the school choir too, so i guess i have a decision to make. im not sure which one i should do..and i guess im leaning towards dance cos i sing at church and all, but im really not sure. its kinda like an answered prayer i guess cos a year ago, i really wanted to do dance, but mum didnt let me cos we didnt have enough money, and i already did piano and violin, but shes letting me now. so i have to choose!

old friends and new friends
yesterday was shaun's bday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAUNZIE) and i got to see all you fungusses again. i really miss you guys, and sometimes i wish i was still there at fungus. i was kinda a bit sceptical on going yesterday cos i knew that if i did, i might go all sad and depressed about leaving fungus again; but i didnt suprisingly, maybe ive just moved on (which is good cos ive been trying to for a while). but it was funny when nick asked me, "are u used to it yet?" and i was like, "NO!" Nick was referring to (of course) are you used to being not in fungus yet? and i said no cos i seriously am not yet! and then nick was like, "its been a year!" and i said, "i know!" i guess fungus youth is one of a kind. its really different to other youth groups cos were so close all the time, but it really got me thinking about friends and when to hold onto them and when to let go..
lately in life, i've made heaps of new friends. at school especially. i guess its good and bad, i miss all my old friends sometimes, but it seems like were all growing further and further apart and i feel like theres nothing i can do about it. i guess its not necesarily a bad thing, because i like meeting new people, but i guess im scared that me & my friends will grow apart and not even be friends anymore. like today at school; at recess i hung round crystal (oo my asian kid in year 8) and then at lunch, it was amber, jess, kelsey & kim, not even one of my seven girlies.
anyway, i guess what im trying to say is that in life, there will be friends we have to let go of. even though we dont want to and we want to hold on and keep being friends with them. but, maybe its whats best.
(wow, blogging makes me really talk about deep stuff LOL)
haha, anyhoo, i think im done NOW!
happy late bday shaun, happy early bday to my baby graciee and happy early early bday to aviel.
god bless all.
have an awesome anzac day guys.

snapshot #1
so, i have finished my blog. well i mean i guess i'll continue to add on things, but otherwise, its pretty much set up. i kinda made this template myself, so its a bit plain, but i'll continue to work on it.
my life so far..
i wonder how it is that you begin a blog, its a bit weird to just start in the middle of nowhere, with no blogs before this (except "getting the hang of blogspot"). well, i'll start by how God has been speaking to me recently.
on thursday at chapel, pastor dave talked about our generation being the "Y" generation. He spoke about the things that drive our generation. these are; friends, entertainment, new experiences and to make our life a big party. he then spoke about how the church has began to sugar-coat the message of Jesus; promoting the accept and get something out of it mentality. yes, we do not necessarily realise thay we are saying "accept Jesus and get stuff in return", but in reality, sometimes, we DO do this, but we dont realise it. He spoke about how we shouldnt preach Jesus as, "accept Christ, and get peace, get joy, get love, get problem free, etc" yes, he does give us things, but we shouldnt accept Christ just because we get something out of it. but instead, we should preach about repentance. this message really spoke to me. i was kinda thing in my head the whole time, "why would anyone accept Jesus if they didnt get anything out of it? why would anyone come to know Jesus if we have so many other things in this world that are much more entertaining etc? how can i preach Jesus in such a way that doesnt dilute or sugar-coat the real message of Jesus?" This sermon really got me thinking.
Today, in bible, we talked about homelessness and how its impacting Australia and Melbourne. I've realised that homelessness is a subject that is so much brushed aside by our government. we dont really hear much about this subject; even though, it does affect our society so much. if you even go into the city of Melbourne, you will see many homeless people around. i started to think how i could help them, and came to the conclusion that i would pray for them.
Something i realised today..
(nothing to do with the other two above by the way)
people are not perfect. you cannot count on people. sure, you can trust your friends, but ultimately, there will be times when they let you down. you cannot expect them to always be there and always be there to help you; cos they are human too, and they are imperfect just like you. instead, you must lean on Jesus, because he is the only constant in your life. nobody else will always be there, only Jesus will hear your every cry, and be there every single time you need him. Im not saying dont confide in friends, because you should. friends are important and we also need to trust them, but ultimately, dont get hurt or upset if your friends let you down, cos you have to understand that they make mistakes and stuff up too. just like you.
anyhoo, that is my profound blog of today =]
love you all and continue to check out my blog.
godbless xo.
