Fourteen

Tommorow's my Birthday!
Fourteen, that's a funny number..... it's not 13 or 15 it's 14.....

You know wikipedia editors think of things that no one else thinks of.

"Number 14 is considered to be one of the unluckiest numbers in Chinese culture. Although 14 is usually said as "shi si," which sounds like "ten die", it can also be said as "yi si" or "yao si", literally "one four". Thus, 14 can also be said as "yao si," literally "one four," but it also means "want to die" (要死 pinyin yào sǐ). In Cantonese, 14 sounds like "sap sei", which sounds like "sat6 sei2" meaning "certainly die" (實死)."

Really, it's like making me want to hold on to my last hour/minute of being 13. The really funny thing is that 13 is unlucky in united states. I didn't hear of this whole "unlucky 14 thing and didn't really think about it until I came across this. On the other hand I did find this...


Fourteen
being a multiple of seven, partakes of its significance; and, being double that number, implies a double measure of spiritual perfection.

Wow.... year 14 of my life... I remember last year I was like " OH NO MY LAST DAY OF CHILDHOOD!" this year it's not so bad. We all have to grow up sometime. =] It seems that when your a kid, you want to grow up so fast that you start counting your age in fractions. Haven't you heard a kid go " I'm 4 1/2" or " I'm 5 1/2". I bet you've never heard someone say " I'm 25 1/2" =]

sigh. 14 ready or not here I come!

My Violin has a cold.....

Isn't it odd? I mean, I don't even have a cold. My violin is like a little annoying grumpy child. Sigh.... When it's too hot, it's pegs melt and refuse to stay in one place, which makes tuning very annoying. It also goes out of tune ever 10 mins when it's too hot. When it's too cold, the pegs refuse to move! My bow still continues to cough and screech. Sigh..... I like rain, but I wish it didn't bring cold weather.....

Love Your Enemies

in·sult [ in súlt ]: 1. transitive and intransitive verb be offensive to somebody: to say or do something rude or insensitive that offends somebody.

Sigh. You know that wrenching feeling you get when someone insults you in front your own face, or that feeling you get when you know someones talking behind your back? It's a terrible feeling..... I just had one today in fact, and it made me think. Getting insulted is one of the worst feelings you can ever experience. I won't lie, I've talked about people behind their backs ( Pray for me).
When I was about 8 years old, my mom signed my brother and I up for a basketball class at the local community center. I was not that great at basketball. I was paired up with a very experienced partner. After the class, I went up to the coach to ask him something.... Just when I was about to say something, my partner interrupted and asked " Coach, can you not pair me up with her? She stinks at basketball." That didn't exactly make my day..... The next time you feel like wanting to curse someone to eternal life deep down under... Remember, don't say something about that person unless your willing to say it to their face.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
- Matt 5:44
There was a person I really dislike for no apparent reason, she was not a christian. After much prayer and help from God, I finally invited her to Church. Now she's about to get baptised. God is a God of miraculous powers. I love you God. Please pray for me, for I am guilty of insulting, and I need help.

P.S. I think that was the first serious blog post i've ever written.

Do I look Korean?

Ok, so my mom, dad and I went out to a Japanese restaurant to eat. We walked in the door.

Waiter 1: An nyoung ha seh yo ( hello in Korean I think), followed by fluent korean.
Us: O_O ummmm...no speak korean
Waiter 1: Oh sorry, would you like a table?

So after we sat down another waiter comes.
Waiter 2: An nyoung ha seh yo, followed by fluent korean.
Us: >.< were not Korean.....
Waiter 2: oh sorry.... then later another waiter comes

Waiter 3: An nyoung ha seh yo, followed by fluent Korean.
Us: (Sigh) WERE NOT Korean. (sigh)
so when we leave.....
Everyone: An nyoung ha seh yo!

Ok, so I have to ask......DO I LOOK KOREAN!? I mean seriously four times, in a Japanese restaurant!

Silly Joycelyn

See when I was 7 years old I went to my violin lesson.
Teacher: Do you know what and violin accent is?
Joycelyn: hmmmm........ A violin that talks funny?
Teacher:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!! =]

I walk into my parents room one night.
Dad: Joycelyn I think you look prettier than your mom.
Joycelyn: Gasp! Why?
Dad: Because you look like me! =]

When my brother was driving I absent-mindedly opened the car door.
Gabriel: Joycelyn! Where's your brain? Did you lose it?
Joycelyn: No, I was looking for yours. >=]

Kids say the darnest things. =]
