Mom's B-DAY!!!!!

Well at 12:00 AM Jonathan, Tammy, and I went downstairs to tell my mom HAPPY BIRTHDaY!!! My mom was quite surprised because she thought tomorrow was her birthday but if you take time literal then her Birthday was and 12:00 AM I slept a little later today I got up at what 9:00. So that was a 7 hour sleep. I woke up and went downstairs to see what was happening and everybody was cooking. I then mowed the lawn and blew the leaves off the front yard. Then at 12:45 PM people started to come. So many people came that I was quite surprised and we had a party. (I am trying to update my blog before I go back to school so rushing LOL.....) I ate so much and now I feel bloated.... Before we ate though we recited Gwan Yin's name. So we are about to sing Happy Birthday in a few minutes so this is all I can post so SORRY!!!!

NOOOOO GOING BACK TO SCHOOL SO SAD!!!!

High School Musical 3 !!!!

So my day started off by me waking up at 7:30 and I started to watch Heroes and that wasted like 2 hours of my time. Not waste but you know what I mean. After my dad asked me to go to Encinal High School to see if they took broken ovens because it was electronic recycling day. After that I came back home and started to watch One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill is getting really good along with half the other stuff I am watching. Then it came to be 1:45 and my mom came home.... She told me to get ready because we were going to go to the Alameda Theater to watch HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 which I was truly looking forward to. I know I am really into these types of movie because they are so girly. LOL The movie was really good. I honestly liked it a lot and yeah it was good. Everybody should go watch it soon ASAP. OH yeah the Alameda Theater is really big inside despite the fact that it looks minuscule on the outside. It's really nice and has an escalator and a nice view from the second floor. After the movie we came back home and I started to just do random things. It was then time to eat and then we had to leave off to Berkeley Monastery where I did some homework and etc. After the Monastery it was time for me to go back home and here I am typing this blog.

OHHHH YEAH FOR

I WATCHED HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3!!!!!

Funnist Saturday in a While!!!

Well it was one good day. It started off with the PSAT which was quite time consuming but I felt good about it I mean the math part. After the PSAT we went to eat luch. We had an oddly good lunch today for some ood reason but it was quite appetising. After lunch the the dragon dances and lion dancers headded out to CDR ( the City of Dharma Realm) in sacremento. And now we had the dorm all to oursleves. Once they left we went to the farm to do our community service. The hob we did was quite painful but it was really fun. After the farm we went to the dorm and had a quick 12 person dorm meeting of waht we were going to do. We came to a concencus which was we go shopping and afterwards watch a movie. So we went to Big 5 and all the sotres around there and chilled for the next hour of so. Nakula gave us the freedom to do whatever we wanted so we were teacher free. At 6:00 we started to walk to the theatre from the Pear Tree Center. It took us a good ten of fiften minutes to see our destination. During the walk we incountered a pumpkin festival and decided to drop by and see what it was. We saw a pumpkin that weighed 1109 lbs. It was hella big. After we then took a picture and until it was 7:00 we walked to the theatre. The movie was going to start in 15 minutes so we just sat in the theatre talking. The movie was Max Payne and it was a okay move. But the best part of the movie was the previews. I have a list of movies I wasnt to watch which is Bed Time Stories, 007, and Taken. That was such a good day. We should have more days like this though.!!!!

Interfaith Gathering of Blessings

A GATHERING OF BLESSINGS

The program started out with Dharma master Sure and other nuns started chanting Gwan Yin Bodhisattva name and then a Rabbi (Douglas Kahn) created the sound of the Shofar which was like a horn but the sound that came out of it was magnificent. We then heard a lady named Canto Rosyln Barak recited this verse in Hebrew which I never heard but when she chanted it I also felt very peaceful. After she recited it in Hebrew we then recited it in English. The next speaker was Rev. Paul Chaffee spoke about the history of this interfaith chapel. Dharma Master Sure then recited the Hymn of Repentence and everybody recited along. Rita Semel went to speak about How one tradition addressed the larger community. Father Eugene Boyle spoke but unlike everybody his voice was strong and everybody listened to his inspiring voice. He then sang an old African song

" Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine
Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine
Well now, this little light of mine, yeah I'm gonna let it shine "


Then Rev. Amos Broen talked about the Koran in Hebrew and translated them into English. The next speaker was Shaikh Rashid Patch who talked about the very good relationship with JCRC.
Jewish Community Relation Council. They then gave an award out for the Presentation Of The Bay Area Multifaith Treasure Award and he then gave his speech. Then Dharma Master Sure and Rita Semel sang a blessing to everybody and that concluded the program. After the Interfaith meeting we went to S.F. Chinatown and Tammy and I went to walk in the stores so fun I felt just like a little kid with no worries once again. And we ate a Lucky Creation until about 9:00 then came back home and now typing this hahahaha!!!!!!
