havn't updated in a while.  i was told that my xanga entries are to sparse.   

this has been what i've been wrestling with lately:  how easily and often sin entangles me, and how difficult it is to unravel it's tight deadly grasp. 

1 John 2
¹⁶For everything in the world¡ªthe cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does¡ªcomes not from the Father but from the world.

¹⁷The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

so true, yet so hard to live by.

Got this fron steve jung...

fall foliage is gorgeous! 

i used to consider autumn my favorite season... however, being in taiwan and california for the past 15 yrs of my life, that has changed a bit. 

the beauty of fall has eluded me, so has the enjoyment of the cold weather! 

on another note, call me sentimental or girly, however i must say you east coasters or ppl who live more north than i can testify to this... season change brings such an amazing touch to our lives.  it makes it so much more colorful.

wow!

thank you guys so much for your awesome comments and your great suggestions! 

It's been a bit over a wk, and i've been swamped at work, so i havn't had time to update.  so, here's the 411!

I've asked him to pay for the bumper and i'm asking him to just hook me up with an additional $100 for medical expenses.  you guys may think, $100 isn't much, but with my wonderful job, comes nice benefits, medical insurance.  each visit to the chiropractor only costs $20!!!  so i'm asking for the first 5 visits.  when i was in college, it cost $60/visit (15 minutes).  When the kid heard that i'm only asking for an additional $100 he was surprised and thankful too. 

after the 1st visit last friday, i already feel a whole lot better!  i guess since the accident occured at low speeds, it wasn't that big of an injury.  besides, i previously have lots of back/neck problems that now God so graciously pushed me to get fixed. 

although, through this incdent, it's certain that i'm gonna go through insurance next time.  it'll save me some worrying, and be more compensating too. 

however, this did bring me again to realize... how blessed i am.

i got into my first car accident this morning.   and being so, i don't really know how to handle it, so i'm throwing out the scenario, and i'm asking for suggestions. 

so... driving down to work this morning, my mind was wondering and wasn't really paying much attention on the road.  it was stop n go traffic on pv drive south, and the car in front of me stopped abruptly.  i had plenty of room and time to stop, so i was able to with plenty of space to spare.  however, the car behind apparently didn't.  i looked up in my rear view mirror, and saw this kid (he's 18) driving an old camery wagon, and going "oh sh#$!@t!"  then i saw the smoke and heard the squeaking of his breaks.  my mind went blank, as i knew he was going to hit me.  and my only reaction was, i better not hit the person in front of me, so i slammed on my already pressed down breaks, and was ready to embrace the impact.  and surely, enough, the bang sharply and pretty hard!   

i was in some shock, checking to make sure that my head was still on my shoulders.  i pulled over to the side, and got out of my car.  the kid felt horrible, kept apologizing, and i got his info.  i check my car, and my rear bumper is pretty banged up.  i was thinking that it'd fall off while driving to work.  however, its still on pretty good. 

so, now i'm in a dilemma.  the kid seemed like a good one, just an inexperienced driver.  i'm sure his life is pretty hectic, knowing that he lives out by palm springs, but his mom lives here in rolling hills estates.  he was on his way to pick up his brother from the queen mary to go home to palm desert.  so the choices...

a) i can take this to my insurance company, and claim it through them.  most likely raising his insurance. 

b) i can just ask him to pay me directly, to fix up the car.  however, my neck/back does feel kinda funky which is bothering me.  how much hospital expenses should he cover, and wouldn't make it feel like i'm trying to jack him.

c) i can just leave the car the way it is.  my car is pretty old, dont' know if it's worth the money to fix it up.  i was thinking of donating it anyways if and when i purchase my new car.  however, again the medical expenses for my neck and back would still be a dilemma.

any suggestions???
