The Hundreds

What the heck is "The Hundreds"?

It's basically just a clothing line based on LA/California skateboard, hip-hop culture.
You might have seen people wearing The Hundreds before. Their main logo is a bomb guy (called the Adam Bomb) going like :o

lol... as pictured below:

I have that shirt! :)

So why do I wear, "The Hundreds"?

One of the reasons why I wear this brand is that everywhere you look, people are wearing clothing brands such as Nike, or Abercrombie, or American Eagle. Not saying that I don't own any clothing from these brands or that these brands are bad but

I like to do things other people don't do.

For example, I play football.
If you ever look at NFL/College football teams... or even high school football teams, you will not see many, if not any, asians.

If you tell a CAM (Crazy Asian Mother) that you wrestle, they will go (In an Chinese accent):
"You go to do the study RIGHT NOW! You no do the wrestle, you must do the study right now! You need to get the 4.0. Go to the Harvard. Blah Blah Blah!!"

And the same with music. There are hundreds of millions and billions of chinese piano/violin players. But, how many asian drummers and guitarists are there? (well... I don't play drums but, I want to... just way too lazy)

I got this shirt a few days ago :D

So anyways, one of the reasons why I wear "The Hundreds" is because only a few people in my area wear it. The fact that I'm the only person at my school with this shirt is awesome. (Seriously... don't you hate it when you see someone wearing the same shirt as you?)

Another reason why I wear The Hundreds is because, I LOVE their designs. I mean.. who doesn't like a bomb going like :o

You must admit... their design's are ownage. (Some of their designs are pretty weird though)
Anyways, I think they are very unique and it makes you stand out.

This will totally make you stand out.

Yeaahhh.... :)

Winter Retreat 2009

ELEVATE

This past weekend, I attended a church retreat at Mt. Hermon.

It was the 1st combined retreat I have ever been to (3 churches were there totaling about 190 people) and not only was it an amazing experience, it had a great impact on my life.

The theme of the retreat was: Elevate. When I first heard about the theme, I wondered what "Elevate" meant... But, now, after the retreat, I understand what it means.

Thomas Chen, our speaker was amazing. His messages taught us how we should "elevate" our faith. That we should bring our faith to the next level.

After 1 of his messages, I had some 1 on 1 time with God. I realized that I only pray when I must (such as during meals or when people ask me to pray) and that I only read the bibles on Sunday, when at church.

So what did I get out of the retreat? Well, I plan on reading the bible everyday; not just on Sundays. I also, plan to pray to God not only when I must or when I have a problem but, to pray to God everyday... even if it is just to say "Thank You Jesus"

Even though I was raised in a Christian family and have been attending church since I was really young.
Even though I am a born again Christian, a baptized Christan, I understand that I am not really close to God.

One of my goals from now on is to grow closer to God. To elevate... my faith the next level. I hope that next year at the same retreat, I can look back and say:

"I have grown closer to God"


Also, the retreat was extremely fun. The food was pretty good and I had the chance to paintball for the first time. (which is really exciting, yet painful)

I met many new friends from the other churches at the retreat as well as grow closer to the people from my own church.
There was also a really cute girl I liked at the retreat named Jessica, except I never had the guts to talk to her...... yes, I know, fail -_-

Oh, and that reminds me of another goal: To not be shy when it comes to talking to girls I like. xD

One last thing... the worship teams did a very good job. This following video is one of the songs: I Can Only Imagine performed by our worship team during the retreat.

Thanks for reading!

Someday

Someday I can do it
Yes I can

Someday, I will go to McDonalds
...and ask for strawberry milk when they only have regular and chocolate!

Someday, I'll win a trophy, the lottery, and my dignity.

Someday, I can forget about the past, my mistakes, my faults.
Someday, I will learn how to live with only one breath of fresh air.

Somewhere, somehow, sometime, someday... I can do all these things.

Oh wait, I can't do it without you!!!!!!


...Just a note to say that I love you all. :)
