Please pray for me. (I'm going to see about posting some better stuff in a little bit, but ugh! I need a break...)

what did Daiko do today?
(finally, a somewhat autobiographical record of the author- yay?) today I: *updated and fixed some things in my website *added an orange tagboard to the profile... *found a nice blog to add to the links *got my hands frozen while typing in the library (strangely enough, it is not too cold outside -being in Florida and all; but it is really cold inside since people seem to think that it's always a good idea to have the air conditioning on. So yes, I am cold.) *went to Anatomy and Physiology I lecture class late because I was online in the college cafeteria beforehand ^^;; *went to the MegaTokyo forums to check out some things and ended up re-taking the Naruto quiz I gave to Ryo-san *learned a new HTML trick: how to have links load in a separate window *wondered about people Namely, why I wasn't able to see Cassandra yesterday where and what could Ashley be doing? where is enka-kun online and what is he doing? wondered about myself, and how I could improve. *prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet...and that is a small summary of Daiko's activities today. I need to do more though... **** EDIT: also I- *searched for other Christian blogs (I didn't find much...*is sad about that*) *looked for the lyrics to a new Plus One song (but didn't find it) *lost my train of thought *remembered that my Ate Baby has her birthday coming up this Saturday! *that on Halloween, I am going to be good and stay home all night (;_;...) to serve candy to others (yay?) [sorry enka-kun, Daiko's not coming to see you this year on that night, but I will pray for you and possibly I will be over for a visit soon...] *wondered why enka-kun doesn't care to read my blog (or so he wants me to believe) and why this is so...*used that "hidden text" I'm so fond of in this entry *wondered why my tagboard provider seems to have so much server trouble... new!* changed the name of this blog from a saint in training: my life surrendered to Christ to a saint in training: my life on Earth -not because I love Jesus less, but the title is more accurate... (I really could explain this better, don't you think? -silly me. :p & XD) ... and now, that should cover (most of) it. Pray for me, okay? bye~!
effort to change...
I resolve to do better. I resolve not to whine and to sink to the depths of despair when I do stupid things. I resolve to put others first before my own desires and needs. I resolve to work hard and be God's child and warrior. ...and I know that all these resolutions mean nothing if I don't rely on God's strength. Pray that I succeed.

*work in progress*
Yay!! I've actually done more with my site, my plans are now coming into being (I had meant to say, "coming into fruition" or "full flower" but somehow, that just didn't sound right...) It is really nice seeing something come out of nothing or rather, to create. For me, having a website and doing the coding by hand is like magic. You use some arcanic language (in this case HTML) and voila! something appears. (Of course, I'm talking about magic in that whole "hey look, you can easily make stuff with strange powers" and all that- this has nothing to do with the practice of any kind of "real" magic ^^;; I wouldn't know anything about that- seriously.) It's fun. I can't wait to work on it some more. By the way, I've learned lots more HTML so expect lots of hidden tricks and such, like "almost impossible to find" secret links. ^_^Wai~ waii~!! Of course, it does get annoying when one makes mistakes in HTML- since when that happens, sometimes things that one meant to hide are now in plain sight! -sigh-... **** EDIT: ugh~ I fixed a typo of ommission in this entry and I just wanted to add another thought here: the HTML that Angelfire automatically inserts into the webpages that are hosted for free is ugly!! o.0 I'm going to see if I can design my site better so that the ad banners won't interfere with the layout and the set up. I could use some help please. I'm even posting the link to my site so if you would go check it out and leave me some feedback on what I should do to fix the place up- that would be great! I want to learn more HTML! ...I still need to make sure that I study and live my live well...God help me.

cold, gray day
...it makes me want to regress into myself (or something like that) actually, I'd rather go into hiding for awhile, curl up, and hibernate~ ^_^ nah. Anyways, I got out of the exam in Anatomy and Physiology Lab some time ago- ouch. It was hard. [/big understatement] -sigh- I need to study more. **** Apart from that, I am pretty content. Somewhat cold, and in a little pain...but content.I've felt somewhat empty as of late though. ... I'd say more, but I'm out of words and out of time (I need to get to class!) -be back (soon, I hope). Pray for me.

just a few things today...
Daiko status: joyful (in simplicity~) Today, not much happened with me. It was nice this morning not missing Mass, recieving Holy Communion with my friends, having morning prayers, and singing to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Today was wonderful. Not for the sake of any grandiose event, but for the sake of simplicity and the fact that things went well. Thank God. I studied, and studied- tommorow I will study even more. I hope that when I take the test at 3:30 I will be fully prepared and able to do well. ah~ ... Pray for me. Life is good. ^_^

enough foolish-ness already!!
Well, I guess this would be about the time that a make a somewhat people friendly post, and with a certain person in mind... ^^;; Oh, please forgive me.
I am posting this horrible, weird thing so that I may possibly get all the stupidity out of my system; so know that you have been warned in advance! Here goes: (NOTE: there was a start to the conversation long beforehand) ... imiko: *me is so evil, tonight: [I] let you talk to my brother~
enka: *blocks*
imiko: ^^;; imiko: ...I don't like being evil, I'm going to stop imiko: -I think.
enka: Heh.
imiko: ... [turns evil here.] imiko: (*whispers* I kinda liked it, I had fun ^^;;-) imiko: RAWR! evil smiley~
enka: What? enka: The evil? enka: MEEP! enka: *runs*
imiko: *Daiko acts strangely* hn...you're acting so cute...~ [very scary]
enka: Am I?
imiko: *slits eyes* yes~ [uber scary...]
enka: No, I am not! [tries to summon powers] enka: FEAR ME! enka: BLUE MAGE!
imiko: ...no.- not scary.
enka: *casts Lv-?? Dispel Evil*
imiko: *failed* imiko: *grins*
enka: Run!
imiko: ?_? ... foolish, there's nowhere to run...
enka: *pounces on you! enka: THEN I SHALL DEFEAT YOU!
imiko: *takes a slice out of you* imiko: nope.
enka: *dies*
imiko: /me= "winnah!" imiko: *does victory dance* imiko: *laughs evily* imiko: (*burys -enka-kun*) imiko: ... imiko: *comes to senses* imiko: o.o... imiko: ...what have I done?!! imiko: *weeps* ...
And that everyone, is a prime example of when IMing and roleplaying get out of hand. Pray for me~ good night everyone, be well. **** EDIT: Big edit- the names have been changed!! Do not try to IM either one of us without getting to know us first! -NO solicitations or any unwanted business/conversations, that is all.
...self-depriciation (hidden)
^^;; I think I'm starting to go overboard with my whole hidden entry thing (by the way, this is the third in the series)-but it's fun, and I'm "learning" more about HTML in the process...
-okay, I will stop soon.
Today, I've learned that what I know is really not much at all- I have always been aware of the fact that there is a lot that I don't know, but trying to create something and put it into being- that's really showing me my limitations.
Of course, I don't like it- but shouldn't I be humble and accept this fact about myself? Should I be concerned and want to change from being so "ignorant"? It appears that I must find a happy medium between the two; a balance of some sort.
I pray that I find it soon.
Also...^^;; this is nothing new- as to the situations this Daiko can get into but, today just a few moments ago, I missed Confession. ;_; ...
Lord, help me. -.-;;;
I also missed Mass as well.
I'm so foolish, but wow! I'm still loved so there's some hope for me yet... it will take lots more time for me to grow, improve, and mature.
ah~ thank you, Lord.
^_^
NOTE: I will be continuing the "teach these souls how to blog~" lessons quite soon, as well as the strange story idea I had earlier- I just have a tendency not to finish my projects as fast as I am able to. :( -sigh- And...I really need to learn more so that I can do well on my exams and be able to finish my projects and such. Pray for me!!
entry mood: lightheared~ then more serious.
Well, as I am enjoying myself posting with "invisible text", here is the second entry in the "series" ^^;;
{By the way, if you would like to learn how to do this, then ask me- you should do that by leaving a comment in the appropriate area of this blog.}
It's amazing how I can go on and on when I don't have anything of the utmost importance to say- not that I'm garrulous or anything -sigh- and I pray that I never become so... ****
Anyways, I am bothered by some things- I'm not irritated by them, or else I would have posted a RAWR (or something to that extent) ... -sigh-
Of course, I do have high hopes, and I will see them through- I'm just concerned for some people...
I'm concerned for myself that I won't change from the person I am, that I won't mature and become a saint. I'm concerned for my friend Cassandra- that she's taking a lot of hits, and that she won't be able to get past them and stand up for herself. (I believe that she can though, but she really needs to build up her faith so that she can endure anything- from what I have seen she has not the stamina yet~)
...and, I'm really concerned for a friend of mine.
He's like a brother to me. A special brother. As it is, I don't really have anyone in my family who is in my age group and understands me as he does.
He's cool like that- but, I'm concerned for his soul. (I don't mean to be overdramatic here, please understand...) -sigh-
Possibly, in time he will cultivate his spirit and grow; but...I don't see anything now, I'm almost worried, and I've become serious.
-sigh- ...
Pray for us...
