QOTD #4: Are you scared of the boogie man?

QOTD #4: Imagine this, you are trapped in a room with mirrored walls. It's dark and the lights are flickering. Suddenly, something pops out and scares the crap out of you. What is it?

Howie: Michelle

HP: Michelle

Michy: Clowns

Sim: Michelle

QOTD #3: If you were a candy, which candy would you be?

QOTD #3: If you were a candy, which candy would you be?



Howie: I'm the wrapped candy from candy crush...because I'm...the bomb :D

HP: Gumballs because they taste better the closer you get to the middle

Michy: Pop Rocks because I want to be a rockstar (like Hannah Montanna) (y)

Sim: Black Licorice because no one would eat me. 

QOTD #2: Which High School Musical character do you most relate to?

QOTD: Which High School Musical character do you most relate to?


Howie: none. I'm lame. I don't know what High School Musical is. Never seen it.

*Expert opinion: Howard would most relate to Ryan. Ryan is chill and laid back but he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in (ie. telling his sister that he's joining the Troy and Gabriella's group). And don't you think he looks like the asian version of Ryan?






HP: Kelsi Nielsen: She's musically talented and doesn't bother a direct confrontation with Sharpay. However, she works behind the scenes with Troy and Gabriella to help them sing their song and beat Sharpay. She sings (okay) and plays the piano =) (Like me). And I prefer Kelsi's version of "You are the Music in Me" to Sharpay's version.




Michy: Sharpay. All the way. (See what I did there? haha). Sharpay knows what she wants and goes after it. It's all about the confidence - she believes in herself and pursues her dreams and passions, even when certain obstacles (ie. Gabriella) get in her way.








 Sim: ummm I've never watched High School Musical.

*Expert opinion: As a self-proclaimed nerd, Sim would most relate to Taylor McKessie. She is smart and competes in science competitions. She is also Gabriella's sidekick and voice of reason.

Faith + (fill in the blank)

We're starting a mini series called  "Faith + (fill in the blank)" where we will talk about some of our experiences, challenges, and what we've learned.

In the upcoming weeks, we'll focus on:

Faith + School
Faith + Friends
Faith + Relationships
Faith + Family
Faith + Me
Faith + Us
Faith + the Future

Stay tuned :)

Question of the Day (QOTD) #1

So to keep our blog going, we've decided to answer a question of the day (QOTD) everyday! We're gonna choose a random question to answer each day so feel free to message us your questions or comment below with your own answers!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would it be?


Michy: Beauty and the Beast (not the Disney movie, the CW show..its SO GOOD) or Arrow. Why? Cuz of the action and drama... and I guess it doesn't hurt that I'd get to see Oliver Queen or Vincent Keller everyday, for a month hahah

HP: Heroes, Full Metal Alchemist (anime? sure that works =P): Lots of action and I get superpowers in Heroes. And in Full Metal Alchemist I get to be an alchemist and fight against bad guys.

Howie: 24 or Burn Notice

Special Guest AuntieJ: Survivor because I can threaten people with coconuts >:)

Summer Rains

Hai guyz!
Weee it's raining once again.../// Weather is really a downer today, but life goes on as usual. And last week was picking up a little bit of speed, but we forgot to blog like we said we would. So here is there next post~

Last Sunday I taught my first ROOTS class (it was just an introduction day), here's how the hour went.
- Introduction of ourselves using Prezi and an English slang game embedded into it
- People Bingo! with chocolates of course
- Survey of what people want to learn and activities they are interested in doing in the summer
- Pandrew introed why it's important to learn more about God
- Children's church sign up!

The Beginning of an Adventure on a Hill

Good Morning boys and girls, men and women, dogs and cats!

I'm so excited to be interning at Burnaby Alliance Church this summer. It's going to be a great experience where I can learn so much more about God and life as well as improve on my teaching, public speaking and communication skills which are always important in whatever career anyone undertakes.

SO, here are my expectations of the summer:

#1) I hope to learn more about God through reading and through teaching. If you didn't know, when you actually teach what you know, it is also a great method to help yourself learn! From this, I hope to be able to strengthen my knowledge of God and my faith in him through different books and devotionals.

Starbucks and McDonalds

Sidenote: some things never change. I have my McDonalds with me as I'm writing this (y)
-----

Me and HP are heading into our second week of work! We've been so busy planning and coming up with ideas and more planning (boys: do you feel guilty yet?). And going to Starbucks. And McDonalds. And guitaring. And watching YouTube videos (if you haven't watched the Boyce Avenue & Fifth Harmony cover of Mirrors yet, go do it now!)  

When I think of working at church for the summer, I think of Starbucks runs, shopping at the toy factory, going outside to the field.... oh and planning children's camps. But since this is my second time around, I thought I'd come up with some expectations - or what I expect to get out of this summer.

I expect to build my vocabulary of English terms. For example, instead of saying 'oh crap' I'm going to say 'oh pants' (with a British accent of course).

Welcome to our blog!
