Day.. I don't know

sleep.
eat.
shop.
take a nap.
go out to eat and shop with people.
hang out with the coolest dog in the world...



then repeat...

i have very little concept of time, or what i've actually done in these past days.
but it's been pretty nice considering that i've been getting a lot of rest, and not too hot because it's been "typhoon-ing"!

I was going to take a picture.. but it just looks like it's raining, which is sort of boring.

oh well. maybe i'll take a few fun pictures for my next blog when i'm in Japan! (:

Day Two.

So my grandma, dad, and i, woke up super early (considering being up for over 35 hours without sleep), so that we could go down to McDonalds before we headed to church.



And I know what some of you are thinking (especially those who haven't been to HK)... why would anyone in their right mind bring their grandmother(s) to a fast food chain like mcdonalds?
Well, lets just say that McDonald's in Hong Kong is EXPONENTIALLY better than the subpar standards we hold in the Americas.
They sell pasta as an breakfast option, AND they have cakes for dessert if that floats your boat!


and... when it is super hot in the middle of day, and you need a quick snack their ice cream selection is incredible!

Lets just let this summarize my love for Hong Kong McDonalds.

Mc Flurries - $14 HK, around $2 Canadian
Sundae - $7HKD, around than $1 Canadian
Flavoured Soft Serve with chocolate, grape, raspberry or strawberry twists - $4.90HKD, less than 75 cents Canadian
Soft Serve Cone $2.50 HKD, around 30 cents Canadian

Walking in expecting to pay around $5CAD and only spending $0.60 CAD for ice cream two people - PRICELESS (:

Day one... We made it!

Landed safely after a smooth 15 hour flight at 5am this morning.
Didn't get much sleep but did manage to fit in 5 movies and two tv shows (: haha.
It was pretty awesome, aside from the kid beside me who seemed a little ill.
But that's okay, that didn't stop me from enjoying my meals and snacks - i'm pretty sure i gained weight before we even landed..
Was picked up from the airport, got so much done before 6 am, including eating FOUR separate full breakfasts, and a brunch!
have been visiting family, eating and shopping all day!

weeeheee (: i love being back here - and the heat is not as bad as people say it is...
But that might be because i love the heat (:

Anyway, dinner time (: Hurrah!

So the wait begins...

So its 11:50pm now, and I am sitting here in YYZ waiting for my flight to HKG (:

Fortunately, we got here super early because my mom wanted to go home and sleep after she dropped us off so we averted all lines and waits..
Unfortunately, I have to wait another hour and 50 mins before my flight leaves.

Fortunately, I have a good travel buddy who is always entertaining and superb at making me laugh..
Unfortunately, he has decided to take a nap...

Fortunately, I have my laptop and iphone connected to wifi and being charged.
Unfortunately, the guy who is also charging his computer beside me just took off his shoes..

... unfortunately, i can't think of any more "fortunately's" because I am so distracted by this putrid smell..

*ughh*

And i'm off!

I can barely believe the fact that I am leaving in less than 3 hours!
So happy and excited for this opportunity.

Please pray for my safe flights and travels while I am on the other side of the planet!
Oh.. and for the language barriers!

Hopefully I will have a chance to post SOME photos (or maybe a vlog) while I am away,
but if not. You can follow my happenings on twitter (:

Until next time!
Sayonara!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always,
pray without ceasing,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

(:
My God is good to me!

Poverty..

“Extreme poverty is ending. In just 25 years the 
percentage of people living in extreme poverty has been cut in half. (52% to 26%)”
What do you think it would take to end extreme poverty?
What are you doing with your wealth and influence?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. … I can do all things through him who strengthens me (Philippians 4:6, 13).

Theme song of the day...




Tomorrow is a gift, what are you going to do with it?

getting up and going.

no more waiting for tomorrow.
no more conforming to the ways of the world.
no more people pleasing.
more God glorifying.
giving up my security.
laying down my crowns.
to God be all honour, power, and praise.
