New Beginnings... this one's for you "John"...

A few hours ago, I attended the sending off banquet of my former English Pastor who's soon to be in Germany as a missionary. But I myself and wondering maybe he's not the only one who's meant to leave our church. Maybe it's time for me to "jump ship" also. Provided the reasons I'm leaving are also God honouring.

It's interesting how many different variations Logos has used for his name over the years because of his title changes and now he's becomming a missionary so again it is changing. Well for me, "John" has always been the way of keeping it simple since I have a tendency of using the wrong titles often at times, like calling him Pastor John even after he's become Reverend... Besides I figure when we go to heaven all these title will become irrevelant anyhow... hehe, keep that in mind people! Regardless of what title I will have in the future, calling me plain "Kevin" is OK too :) I remember in summer retreat one of my PK friends (not the taboo meaning of "PK"!) called me Pastor Yan once probably as a joke. Well in a way, if Pastor John's initials was PJ... then...

What could possibly be the last words I hear from him before he leaves for Germany I have been thinking about for the last 3 hours too. His main point was I'm too young to have to be worry about such things. And looking back, I don't know why I'm so desperate to believe I'm old... Like my friend always tells me "age" is just a #... nobody in my softball team last year could believe I really was as old as I said I was... I don't look it... and maybe I'm blessed by God not to really feel it either. Plus I think I proved to myself playing 14 consecutive innings with the Slingers during the RHCBC fellowship cup and having to go up to bat sometimes twice or more each half inning because they were short on players that I can still kick it just like any other youngster... Funny thing is just yesturday my friend asked me how old I was and I had to dig up my license for her because I guess it's good for me not to remember my age so I can live my life as if age doesn't matter...

Well ok fine I'm not THAT old... but recently I still feel like I'm going through a quarter life crisis and I think I was a bit naive to think that the things bothering me and keeping me from sleeping would just go away like that tonight even though I tried to distract myself...

Hmm I might add to this entry later, going to try for sleep again now that I ate some food and hopefully will be able to sleep now... but since it's already typed, I'm going to close with my Facebook parody of the scene when Captain Picard is speaking to a civilian from the past in First Contact about his vendetta with the Borg...

This one's for you "John"...:)

Facebook is sprung up, boots out Friendster and takes over the online profile world like MSN booting out ICQ and we fall back...

Facebook allows people to post pictures showing themselves with their significant other and they tried to "friend" me and we fall back...

Facebook has a more fancy and sophisticated way of showing one's relationship status and we fall back...

Facebook's new format starts showing you a summary screen also indicating who recently hooked up and we fall back...

Facebook now tries to suggest friends to you even though you didn't add them to your list yourself....NOT AGAIN... my sleep must be drawn HERE!

...the next generation

Not sure who invented it, but presently, it has been a number of years ago now that I have heard someone express that "a generation is ...
