Great people

It was great meeting you all again. Every single person that I've met has made a difference in my life, and some are very special to me.

The end of another great adventure

If we never meet again

(Selah)

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey

And perhaps we'll never meet anymore

Till we gather in heaven's bright city

Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven

As we struggle through this world and its strife

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven

By the beautiful river of life

Where the charming roses bloom forever

And separations come no more

If we never meet again this side of heaven

I will meet you on that beautiful shore

Book Game

Following Shimona, Lerie, Sondang, Deanna... and dunno who else, I'm gonna do this BOOK GAME.

*Initiated by Mr Brown.

Rules:

• Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
• Turn to page 57.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post that sentence along with these instructions in a note to your wall, and post your sentence in a comment here as well. Include the title of book and author.
  

My book:

“Most studies have focused exclusively on infant's attachments with their mothers, but Main and Weston (1981) included an extra session of this test to assess infant's attachments to their fathers.” - Social Development by David G. Perry and Kay Bussey.

*It's about social development because I'm writing my final paper for my Developmental Psychology class :S

Quoting a friend

I got an e-mail from a friend and he wrote this to me:

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do so that you can do what you want to do. Occasionally what you want to do is what you have to do and that's really great.

Thanks a lot for your encouragement!!

* I just wanted to share this with you all 'cause when I first read it, I thought it was funny; but when I read it again and thought of the real meaning of it, it really helped me a lot ;-)

International program

October 26th - A really busy day!!! ► International Program

I call it International Program, though it's actually Dia de la Raza (Columbus Day), because we had it 2 weeks after the real day which is October 12th. Here in Montemorelos University we have a variety of international students and because of this, the program is more oriented to be an international thing instead of commemorating the day of Cristopher Columbu's arrival in the Americas.

But why did I say it was a busy day? Well, the Student Council (I'm part of it) this year was in charge of getting the flags ready and all that it involves:

• People
• Flags... this was a hassle because some of them weren't ready 'till the last minute, and actually two of them were incorrect!!! what a problem!!!
• Sashes... we thought we had them all, but when we double-checked there were like 8 or 9 missing, so had to do them last minute!
• National customes... well, this wasn't a problem

*If you click on any of the pics, you will see the rest of them on my flickr. Enjoy!! ;-)

Mexico!


The last song, with everybody participating on stage.


With some cute kids that at the same time are crazy!!! They were my students in children sabbath school during the summer, so every time i see them they say hi to me ;-)


With a friend from Antigua and Barbuda.


India! well, Sohorin is from India and he is from the States I think, but lived in India for a while... or something like that LOL

Student Council
Can you see my shoes?! I don't know what I was thinking LOL... cause after all the running up and down, I was really but REALLY tired :( but hey!! they look nice right!?! heheh

This afternoon I was going to town with some friends and one of them was reading the mission story for tomorrow, and being the curious girl I am, I asked her if I could see the magazine. To my surprised I saw Toshi's pic in one of the stories and I went like crazy!! LOL I was like... I KNOW HIM, I KNOW HIM!! HE'S MY FRIEND!! hehehehe it was funny... cause it wasn't a big deal for any of my friends hehe but I was just having those funny times I guess we all have.

Toshi, if you happen to read this, I just wanna tell you that I'm glad you decided to follow Jesus ;) and I'm also glad that you are my friend ;) lots of love to you and my dear friends I have from those good times in Thailand.

Tell everybody 5 facts about yourself. Usually something unique or that you think few people know about you.

At the end of your facts. Tag 5 people (list their names down) and those people who are tagged will write 5 facts about themselves and tag 5 other people and so on and so forth!

Sunday in town

As you can see/read from my previous posts, mostly all the nice things happen during the weekends lol
This time I went to town (Monterrey) with the spanish students and the teachers of the language institute where I'm working. We had a great time, though we walked A LOOOOT and it was kinda hot.

A little blur but I still like this pic.
And yeah, you can laugh at my baby teeth if you want lol

Updates

Hello beautiful people!

It's been a while and school has started already on this side. It's the second week -I think- and already feeling like it's been sooooo long!! 'cause I have so many things to do. Also want to tell you that I got a new job (I know I've been saying this to some of you) as an English teacher. I have two classes per day -Basic English-. In one I have five students around the 12 years old, and in the other one I have 7 students, all adults. So there is a biiiiiiiiiig difference in both classes, cause the "kids" take all my energy and with the adults, they just pay attention and is sooooo easy to give the class. The only bad thing about teaching this semester is that I can't take French classes 'cause one of my classes and the French class are at the same time :(

Changing the topic, I still can't upload the pics we took when Sara came, cause she hasn't sent them to me!!!!! :( so will have to wait. Or maybe you can check her blog to see if there's any updates on her side.

Not bad after all ;-)

with Sara @ Mission College

I was starting to say that this summer was terrible, and actually I do have a point on that. It has been kinda boring and my work wasn't that nice after all. I've been counting the days when I will get out of work (which shouldn't be the case) and to make it worse, today I found out that I have to go until the 15th of August. I tought this was my last week at work :(

Ok, this is not the whole point of this entry... Today I opened my e-mail account and saw this new e-mail from Sara. Then I read the title and couldn't believe it. She's coming!! When I finished reading, I went to my brother's room and told him about what I just read. I'm still excited cause I will get to see her soon! So sad Shannon can't come (she was planning to come also), but happy cause will see Sarita!

Well, this is all for now... will try to upload some pics (though I don't have a camera now) and keep blogging often. Not a promise but will try my best lol

Hey Sendy

Hey Sendy

To have you as my rara roommate
I feel extremely lucky
Because I know, it was not fate.

With you there's never a shortage of laughter
Having someone to talk to
Even as the day grows darker
We always have something to do.

Dark curls and tanned skin,
A latina who can't live without music
You explained to me the difference between viola and violin
In return I gave you a paracetamol when you were sick

I got to know your brother Victor,
Never seen anyone that big and tall,
Who came fo only one semester,
To study ESL.

Thank you for the great time in Phuket,
Especialy for recording that bungee
I hope I will never forget,
How the heck did I become so crazy?

There were times when we woke up late,
And nearly miss our 8 o'clock classes,
There were also times when we ate and ate,
In Dr. Chew's and other facutly houses.

Who's gonna be my roommate,
When you leave for Mexico?
The raros will be incomplete,
Because no one will ever replace you when you go.

With love,
Fifi
