Mewie's Revelife

And We Suffer Again...

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:39:55 GMT

Last night, I found out my best friend from high school was diagnosed with leukemia.

The news hit me hard and especially when I pray, I cry uncontrollably. I have vivid flashbacks of hearing the horrible news of my two other high school friends who passed away years ago. These awful feelings resurfaced.

Faith gives me hope - but the suffering is still there for my friend, his loved ones, and my family. It breaks my heart.

Hello, Revelife

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:48:50 GMT

Apparently, Xanga has partnered with several blogging services (or is the powering platform for these services).

To obtain the 'Mewie' name, I switched to Revelife. Amazingly, Revelife is an online community for Christians. That is so exciting! It's always nice to meet people who share the same values as you.

I think I'll start blogging more often soon. Goodbye 'Maiku,' hello 'Mewie.' :)

And I'm Back...?

I'm considering coming back to Xanga since I have a lifetime subscription (why waste it, right?) - probably will change the name since 'Maiku' no longer appeals to me.

Wow, Xanga has changed a lot since I've written a substantial post. Good for them!

Goodbye Xanga

For the past decade, I've gone through incredibly extreme changes. In the past 5 years since I started this blog, my values and my approach to life has transformed constantly. Today's blog is the last one I'll write for Xanga.

When i look back at past entries, I often shake my head, laugh and perhaps regret things I've said. I realize that 'Maiku' is no more. For those who are still around in Xanga, feel free to keep in touch with me here. It's a newly created blog integrating my career, faith, and of course, the many loved ones who have the patience and love to endure me.

Subject: Las Vegas Nightlife

HIGH:
Just went to sin city for a bachelor party. Man, I didn't realize how much fun the nightlife is there. Seriously, I think the dancing/clubbing spirit resurrected in me. I haven't had this much fun since my raving days!

No worries, I am definitely bringing the wifey next time. That way I don't have to dance with six-foot German women...

LOW:
I had a total of SIX hours of sleep the entire weekend. Never done that before. I'll blame the Red Bull and the high-energy dance fest.

I'm exhausted, but seriously, I can't stop dreaming about going ALL OUT on the dance floor. I think I'm addicted again to dancing.

Subject: Meant To Be

HIGH:
Some people are just meant to be with each other. I can just tell by the way my wife looks at me. :)

LOW:
I failed the California Bar Exam for the second time. 0 for 2. Yah, it doesn't feel good.

I've been thinking a lot about this, especially after I failed the first time. Maybe I'm not meant to be a lawyer. So what am I going to do? For one thing, I'm going to take a year off from studying. Maybe then I'll know if I should try again.

Subject: 8 Count's Easter 2007 Performance & Injured

HIGH:
I absolutely love GrX and the ministry my brothers and sisters serve in!

Six individuals accepted Christ that morning which made this day so meaningful.

LOW:
Unfortunately, three 8 Count members (including myself) got injured and had to bail out of the performance 2 weeks beforehand. I'm fine now but it's a bummer that we couldn't be part of this awesome piece.

Nevertheless, it was certainly a joy to see the wifey and the rest of the team glorify Him through the art of dance.

Subject: eMax.net & February Bar Exam

HIGH:
My startup company just launched!

I firmly believe that eMax is going to be the next successful web 2.0 company that will revolutionize global financial services by the power of aggregate buying and the Internet. The business concept is simple, yet powerful. If you click on my site and sign up, you can earn up to 10 shares of the company, win an iPod, and more.

There's absolutely NO risk because you're just providing your email address. Don't worry, eMax will NOT spam you or you all can punch me. =) Thanks for your support!

LOW:
February's CA Bar Exam is over!

This isn't really low, but 18 hours of this monster exam wasn't very fun. Fortunately, I feel MUCH more confident than my first test experience. I know I did my best and I have faith that God will take care of the rest.

Thanks so much for everyone's prayers and support. I'll find out the results in May. For now, I'm going full-time into making eMax a success.

Subject: MySpace & Work Place

HIGH:
In case you all didn't know where I spend my free time, it's right here.

Of course, this is second to my time with the wifey, church, and startup company.

LOW:
In case you all didn't know where I spend most of my time, it's right here.

Not the most fun place to be, but an ideal place to study for the bar and get some work done.

Subject: Living Faith & Loving Those Who Have No Faith in Me

HIGH:
I have never felt so productive in my life.

The results I'm having from my experimental performance-based studies, as opposed to time-based studies, is encouraging. The progress I'm making with a startup business I co-founded is remarkable. The fact that I'm witnessing people grow closer to Christ makes life fulfilling.

Although the first three weeks of 2007 have been extremely busy, my faith in God have never been so strong. The productivity I've experienced thus far inspires me to take even bigger leaps of faith.

LOW:
Please pray for me to be more patient, forgiving, and understanding for those who do not have faith in me.

If these loved ones actually had faith that I was maximizing my life to the fullest, they would not question my lifestyle. The fact that I've never felt so productive in my life would actually surprise them. The knowledge that I have planned, calculated, and prepared for the short and long-term goals would prevent them from worrying and making judgmental remarks.

I do not have to justify my actions to people who trust me. I do have to explain in explicit and excruciating detail, however, to those who do not. Despite such concerns, I thank the Lord for providing me loved ones with the best intentions. I only pray that they learn to take that leap of faith with me and simply trust in His plan for all of us.
