I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or bought low by thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things
to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

- A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition

Its been a long time xanga... its all about facebook now hahahha...

anyways.. this is me posting out of obediance...
watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBhqrtMqrv8
to those of you who are Christians, this may be a slap to the face... if you're not a Christian, this may be offensive..
BUT if you get it.. its worth it...
and of course i URGE you to watch it because i love you guys... whoever it may be that still reads this =)

Alrighty then.. on to randomness
family inventions:

Timiquilk
- invented by my brother: Timothy Jong
- formuated: summer 1996-97ish...
- product information: chocolate syrup mixed with water
- reason for invention: we ran out of milk... plus we use hot water to make the powdered stuff anyways...

Jessiquilk
- invented by my sister: Jessica Jong
- formulated: today Apr 1 2007
- prodct information: mashed potato and gravy stuffed into a boiled egg white
- reason for invention: breakfast today = mashed potatoes, gravy, bulgogi meat, and boiled eggs... she ate all her bulgogi.. and stuffing mashed potato into an egg white seemed like a convenient/efficient move???

no name yet...
- invented by my father: James Jong
- formulated: summer vacation 2005?
- producting information: self-inflating balloons (most likely a tied ballook with two chemicals inside where when you mix it, it releases a gas that inflates the balloon)
- reason for invention: blowing many balloons can be tiring and you end up losing your breath.. plus this conversation was held at like 4am while driving in the states inbetween destinations...

what will the Jong family think up next? hahaha.. i love my family =)
mmm kay.. if i get back into xanga mode, i shall post more meaningful things.. maybe...

POOH

This is a Winnie-the-Pooh keychain.. I'm sure all of you have seen it...

So a couple of weeks ago, me, jess, and my dad were at home
and my dad wanted to know where my mother had gone off to
so he asked for me to call my mother and pass the phone over for him to talk
so i do that, and after the phone call he says:

dad: hey, what is this?!
me: my keychain? its a seal...
dad: yah but why is there a little bear inside?
me: uh dad.. its winnie-the-pooh
dad: why is the seal eating the bear?
joy: its not eating it.. its a costume
dad: ..... can i peel it?
me: you mean take the bear out? ...yesss.... >.<

and that is how my dad discovered winnie-the-pooh keychains..
although he thinks its ugly and that i should get rid of it >.< ... oh well
anyways it has been a whileee.. summer has come and gone...and school is school.. is school
i didnt realize fourth year would be so different from third..
no more friends in the same classes as you, so busy with everything in the world...
its okay though.. it just means i cant be lazy! >.< siiiighhh
