my last shower for four days..

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!
