i haven't been an insomniac in a while. it is 4am and i have to be up in 3 hours. i needed something to do to kill time or make me sleepy so i just looked for random pictures that went with the lyrics to my favorite Foo Fighters song, "Times Like These." you should listen to it as you enjoy the pictures.

I am a one way motorway


I�m the one that drives away


Then follows you back home


I am a street light shining


I�m a wild light blinding bright


Burning off alone



It�s times like these you learn to live again


It�s times like these you give and give again


It�s times like these you learn to love again


It�s times like these time and time again


I am a new day rising


I�m a brand new sky


To hang the stars upon tonight


I am a little divided


Do I stay or run away


And leave it all behind?


It�s times like these you learn to live again


It�s times like these you give and give again


It�s times like these you learn to love again


It�s times like these time and time again



Thought of the Day: It's times like these you learn to regret napping during the day again.
Song of the Day: Foo Fighters-Times Like These

i hate driving. i hate trucks. i hate broken computers. i hate family responsibilites.

we sang "God is so good" at christian academy today. i hadn't heard that song in so long that i honestly wanted to cry when we sang it together. 4 simple words. 1 profound statement. but i think what's even more profound are the last 5 words-"He's so good to me." think about everything you hate for just a minute and sing the song in your head or aloud. i think even if it's just for a moment, you can forget about every trouble or dislike when you sing that song. sing it, edu. sing it, esther bang. sing it, phil!

man, i gotta keep this thing alive.



my good friend, justin, turned 22 the other day. it's weird how 22 seems so much older than 21. i know everybody says this but, dang, we're getting old(er). i was just emailing doe and was telling her that i wish i could just have ONE day where i don't have a single thing to do. "not a single student, lesson plan, family activity, thing to fix, person to email *HINT HINT*, nothing. i just want to sleep in, eat some of my mom's food, and sit on my butt all day...kinda like the description from Office Space." man, a lot of growing up involves being busier and busier with more and more responsibilities and responsibilites. even whenever i talk to justin on the phone, that guy always seems to be doing so much (hmmm, i wonder if he lies to me).

i picked up ANOTHER student to tutor the other day, which would give me a total of 4 private students WHILE doing christian academy for the next 6 weeks. i know i know. why do you keep taking students when you're already so busy and complain about it? 3 reasons. 1. it's temporary. 2. the money is good. 3. korean mothers don't understand the phrases "NO" or "I CAN'T." i guess those reasons don't realy justify my complaining...but really, i'm not complaining. i'm merely informing of my nerve racking schedule.

devotionals are hard to make time for. it finally hit me that i've been relying so much on habit and routine that i've been so consistent with quiet times and such. but the Lord has revealed that i'm not so faithful once i get a tougher schedule in a very different environment. man, i really need intimacy with God. i make time to email and blog but no time to read and pray. a busy, productive life is good. a busy, productive life that controls me is bad. remember that, kids...remember that, phil.

two months ago, i was distressed about my car (that needs to go on Pimp My Ride), living situation with no roommates, and lack of money from lack of tutoring. today, my car works, i am all moved into my new HOME, and i have too many students to tutor. i think God has really put me on my knees these past two months in so many areas of my life. today, my brother called me and told me that the stove and his subwoofer weren't working. i've run into myriad problems this year. the Lord has fixed every single one of them. surely, the Lord will also fix the stove and the subwoofer.

i signed up for an extra credit psych experiment called Food & Personality. basically, i have to go in three times and fill out surveys on food preferences and memories. well, today was my last session that i had to go to but they told me it was going to take 1.5 hours. however, they promised to provide some sandwiches as snacks for the participants. i purposely didn't eat lunch so i wouldn't have to make anything or do any of the dishes. i got there at 1:50 and finished my survey in 10 min...

experienter: well, you finished the last part of the experiment. i have some good news for you and some bad news for you. the bad news is that there are no sandwiches for you. when you told us your preferences, that was actually part of the experiment. the good news is that you're getting 1.5 hour credit for doing 10 min. of work.

i was really disappointed by the bad news.

since i was already on campus, i decided to get all of my reading and math homework done. i learned a very valuable lesson today: i can't study on an empty stomach. it took me 45 min. to read 6 pages. it's incredible how i can't focus when i have no food in my system. i came home, did all the dishes, cooked up some food, and haven't studied since...all thanks to that sham experiment.

Song of the Day: Stone Temple Pilots-Crackerman

dinko made me a STP (Stone Temple Pilots) mix yesterday. it was crazy listening to all of these songs that i once heard so much during my childhood. even though i knew about 80% of the songs, i didn't know that more than half of them were actually sung by STP. but the craziest part is that the majority of the songs i used to dislike sound SO GOOD now! it's like my ears finally opened up or something-i can finally appreciate! the same thing happened with Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and "the mighty mighty" Foo Fighters (whom i still love most).

it's similar to my appreciation for the Gospel. since i grew up in the church, i must have heard the Gospel a billion times at church and school (i used to attend a christian school). but it wasn't until a few years ago that the Gospel became oh so sweet. it's ridiculous how you can listen to the same thing over and over but not hear what is going into your ears. in the end, my appreciation for STP will die, but my appreciation for the Gospel will not; it will only grow. it's not that God's message is improving or becoming more attractive in any way. i am merely being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

i have been really blessed in the past 24 hours. there are high hopes of my living situation being resolved (and some more) and i received two new students to tutor. incredible. "let your mercies fall from heaven. sweet mercies fall from heaven. new mercies for today, shower them down, Lord, as we pray."

on tuesday, april 26, 2005, i actually raised my hand and made a comment/question in one of my lectures for the first time in my college history. after doing the reading and watching this video, my mind was at conflict with one of the notions that was being explained. i don't know what compelled me but i was totally Braveheart mentality. i ran the script over in my head several times and as soon as it was time for me to raise my hand, my heart started to pound at accelerating rates. freak! he called on someone else. after that 10 min. answer and a moment of silence, i casually raised my hand...

professor: yes, phil?
me: it seems like in the video and even from your book, in order to know your identity, you have to presuppose that there is a creator. how does this work for atheists?
professor: i don't know, you tell me....blah blah blah...there isn't a single black person who doesn't believe in a divine being...blah blah blah...good question.
me: (HECK YEAH that was a good question!).

i can't believe i spoke in class.

i was driving home today and i thought about everything that's happened these past two weeks. i was immediately reminded of edu's xanga title, "Come, Lord Jesus." man, i've been so sad lately just with all of the financial difficulties, grad school stuff, and friends having troubles with friends. i am weary from it all. how can i encourage others when i myself am so discouraged? as i kept driving, it hit me that i've been too complacent with my spiritual walk. i've been pretty comfortable for a long time now and it's finally caught up to me. i have forgotten what it means to struggle and to grow in character and hope. Chambers writes, "Beware of the danger of relaxation spiritually." i have indeed NOT been aware and i once again find myself at my knees.
Hebrews 12:2-3-Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
God is sovereign over my bank account and even my relationships. how much more is He sovereign over my sanctification?
Hebrews 12:11-No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen.

tough week

i remember when i used to have really bad days where everything was just going wrong. cancelled appointments, missing the bus, losing money, fighting with the mom, and having an influx of homework all in the same day. when things got so bad, i used to laugh to myself at how ridiculous my day was...but not today. there is definitely no laughing on this sunny April Thursday. i think it's because my crappy events have been spread out throughout the week.

my brake light turned on last thurs even though my parking brake wasn't on. the brakes weren't feeling too sturdy either so i concluded that my brake pads were worn out and it was time for me to replace them. so i got them checked out on monday at Midas. when the manager tells you that's it's going to take about an hour, what he really means is that it's going to take 1 hour TIMES THREE! as i was waiting for my repaired car, they found out that my front left and right axles were messed up. what i thought was only going to cost me around 150 bucks turned out to be 150 bucks TIMES FIVE! for you english majors out there, that's $750 (and that's with a small discount).

i came home feeling really really sad. after calculating living costs and finances for the summer, i had to call my mom and ask her not to deposit the check i had sent her. even then, i don't have enough money to pay for summer rent. dude.

yesterday, i couldn't find my red aeropostale shirt. i lost it. rather, i think someone stole it from my laundry last thursday. i don't know, it's gone. but to make matters worse, i came home finding my left headlight not working. did you know that cops will actually pull you over and give you a fix-it-ticket that costs $10 and alotta out of the way trouble for a broken headlight? so being the obedient law-keeper that i am, i took my car back to Midas today as soon as i ended my 8am class. after taking another look at my car, joe (the manager) told me that it was absolutely critical that i change my two rear tires cause they were in really bad shape. he told me the same thing on monday and i knew they looked a lil lopsided, but i didn't think it was "absolutely critical" to change my tires. *shrug* how bad can the costs be? "alrite, joe, i'll change my tires too." after telling me it should be done before 3, i came back at 3:20 and it still wasn't even done. long story short, $180. *bitter weeping*

jin asked for three weeks off and jordan and dillon are on spring break this week. i just lost another $120. dude.

i don't know how i'm going to support people for missions or pay for my gas during the summer (last night was the most gas i ever had to pay for my small car-$31.36). there's more to my unpleasant week but i have to stop with the ranting somewhere. don't pity me. instead, pray for me.

Thought of the Day: I really want to throw my car away.

i had traffic school today. i went to bed at 3, woke up at 5:50, and waited outside in line at 6:40 til they opened the doors at 7. as i wrote in a previous entry, it's the traffic school part of the ticket that i hate more than the fine itself. 8 hours of sitting cramped inside a court room with 100 other traffic violators. it was kinda like sitting in traffic, only with no place to go...and no place to cry.

Reed Berry "The Traffic Guy"

my instructor was one of the funniest people i have ever met in my life. he was so sarcastic and witty thoughout the WHOLE day! it really felt like he was doing stand-up comedy 70% of the time. i mean, how do you crack jokes (really funny ones!) about traffic laws and safety rules? *shrug* he was doing it. he was seriously so good that i took down his info so that i could recommend him to future law breakers who need to take traffic school. and call me crazy but i did learn alot about traffic violations and new 2005 laws. for example, did you know that you can park on yellow curbs after 6 and all day on sundays? they're actually supposed to be for commercial vehicles but they're not enforced during the evening. that could save you alotta parking trouble. here's another one. did you know that for every point you get for getting a ticket, your insurance goes up $300 every year for three years?
don't get me wrong. traffic school sucked! i never wanna do that crap again. but it really wasn't as bad as it could have been...since i had "The Traffic Guy."



i think for the first time in a long time, i don't have any particular cravings for a specific genre of music. i usually go though cyclic phases of all my mp3s but these days, i'm just putting anything into my winamp just to kill the silence. it's a bit similar to my desiring of God. we all know that music is a beautiful and powerful thing that gives so much life to so many plain things. what would movies be like without music? how would our car rides feel without our radios and cds? what would sunday services be like without singing? but for me to not enjoy music shows that there's something wrong with me. it doesn't make any sense for me to not WANT to listen to some sort of melody. very much so, God who is infinitely awesome and wondrous (and the very creator of music) deserves that much more of my attention and crave. when i do not desire Him, there is something terribly wrong with me. it doesn't make sense that i don't have a passion for God. it's like chang's steak analogy. if steak tastes bad, it isn't a problem with the steak. it's a problem with the grilling or the fire (or the lack of it). but just as i know that music is a beautiful thing and as i remember pleasureable experiences of it, i know that God too is very beautiful and desiring Him is indeed very pleasureable. i am indeed a creature that is prone to wander, so prone to forget. Psalm 42:1-"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God." i want that desire again.

today's sermon...

pastor ryan: they're giving out eggs today...i don't even know why!


i feel like today is a bit of a mixed up day. stores all over the country are selling easter eggs and chocolate bunnies to people of all ages. at the same time, churches all over the world are celebrating a very SPECIAL day out of the year where they especially remember Christ's resurrection. apparently, Easter is not just an ordinary day for any of us. why is that?

well for non-christians, they celebrate a ridiculous bunny that hides eggs or something. for christians, today seems to be a particular day of happiness and rejoicing. but it wasn't until this year that i realized that "Easter" should be celebrated EVERY sunday. EVERY sunday is to be a day of celebration. EVERY sunday is to be a day where we remember Christ's resurrection. EVERY sunday is to be a day of worship. not just once a year, every spring. not just when the world celebrates that stupid Easter Bunny. if you were particularly blessed by today's worship service, i'd challenge you to question why. in a sense, every Sunday ought to be our Easter.

my brother got confirmed today. praise God.

jordan: gosh, philip, don't be such an ass...
me: !!!!!
jordan: -tronaut. ahahahhahahha.
me: ahahahhahaah. i have to admit, that was pretty good.

it is spring qtr, finals week 2005. two down, two more to go. whenever my tests have short answer/essay questions, i always use my LUCKY PEN. this is a very special pen to me for various reasons. first of all, i love how it doesn't release too much ink, but still rolls smoothly and comes out dark enough for everyone to read. second, although i'm missing the cap, the pen has never failed to dry out in the past...three years! basically, when i used to be an officer with monica kim in yg, she left the pen at my house after using it to take notes. i never gave it back to her because it was such a covetous and wonderful item that i could use for college. so to this day, i use it for writing on my calander, making my flashcards, brainstorming my outlines, and of course, taking my tests. i can't tell when the ink is going to run out because the ink stained the inside of the clear tube. i really don't know what i'll do when i can no longer use my LUCKY PEN. no pen will ever be able to replace it.

moral of the story: don't ever leave anything precious at phil's house caues he'll never give it back.



i have come to the conclusion that my favorite slow jam of all time is Ben E. King's "Stand By Me." come to think of it, i think it was the earliest slow jam that i could ever remember hearing as a child. i don't know if it's because it reminds me of the 1986 movie, Stand By Me, or if it's because i love how passionately King sings the song with his unique voice. maybe it's the nice tune or the simple lyrics that can win any girl's heart (i think). sometimes, i even imagine God singing this song to me. there are also times where i imagine myself singing this song to God (without the "DARLIN', DARLIN'..." stuff of course!). haha. singing a secular song to God. that's when you know a song is awesome.

i'm killing some time right now cause i just finished writing my outline for the paper i have to write tonight. writing's kinda like running in a x-country race. 1 page = 1 mile. 1 paragraph = 1 hill. intro = starting line. conclusion = finish line. outline = warming up/stretching. so i'm kinda loosening up my muscles before i start my race. i have so much reluctance and anxiety right now but i know it won't be so bad once i start running. i love that feeling when you've put so much effort into a paper and when you finally finish. you don't care about your time nor who finished before you. when you cross that finish line, you're done. tracking, critical pedagogy, and social capital. AHHH!

i got a ticket today for driving too close to the car in front of me. 41 mph in a 50 zone, 8 ft. away. he didn't even give me a chance to explain. just straight up "do you know what you did wrong? when you're going that fast and you're that close, you're not going to be able to break in time." *walks away to write ticket* dangit.

as i was driving off, i started flooding myself with situations that could have avoided the ticket. if only i hadn't changed my cds as i was warming up my car. if only i hadn't chosen to wear my red shoes today. if only i hadn't made my appointment to meet today at 1pm. then i realized that by me thinking of all of these "if only" situations, i was pretty much saying that God's will and sovereignty were imperfect or flawed. i don't care so much that i have to pay for the ticket. what really bothers me is the idea of taking traffic school. i HATE traffic school.

so after fieldwork, i came home feeling kinda bummed...

me: i got a ticket today.
julie: let's go eat KOBE!
me: if chris got me KOBE today, i would be really encouraged.
chris: alrite, let's go!

me and my big mouth.

today was my first time having japanese bbq. but more importantly, today was my first time having kobe beef. for you ignorants out there:

Kobe beef is a special grade of beef from (Wagyu) cattle raised in Kobe, Japan. These cattle are massaged with sake and are fed a daily diet that includes large amounts of beer. This produces meat that is extraordinarily tender, finely marbled, and full-flavored. It is also extremely expensive, often costing more than $100 per pound. Because of the high cost and increasing demand, there are now some Kobe-style beef-cattle being raised in the U.S. using the same techniques.



yeah, that's what i ate today. we each must've eaten about 5 pieces of kobe beef. just that plate alone cost $20...and yeah, we ate alotta other stuff too. it's one of the best pieces of meat i have ever eaten in my life. i like chris alot.
