Worship at Hillsong Network
As soon as the wedding was over on Sunday afternoon I basically locked myself in my room, only coming out to buy bread and eggs down the street at 7-11.  I cleaned the apartment like there was no tomorrow (it was smelling pretty bad from neglect), watched movies, and ate junk food.  It was time for some much needed R&R.  Not only for my mind, but my body too.  I've been getting sick...again.  This time it's just coughing, pain in my throat, and the left side of it swelling up.  So it's not too bad.  But still, sometimes I get sick of being sick.  If I were to guess (and I may be wrong), but it seems like I've been coming down with something (as minor as it may be at times) about once every 3 weeks.  That's a lot!  I'm going to blame the heavy pollution, humidity, drastic temperature changes between indoors and outdoors, and difficulty to maintain a healthy, well rounded diet.  Those are about the only reasons that I can think of.

Today (Tuesday) was the first day that I wandered out.  It was a little sad at first because my neighbor thought that I went on a trip yesterday.  When I explained to him that I was in my house all day he couldn't understand why I didn't even come out to say hi.  And I didn't have the language skills to explain it.

Then I taught English for an hour.  We read an article about "Gangnam Style," watched the youtube video, and I showed them how to do the dance.  Haha yes.

After teaching I went with some friends to a Hillsong Network Event where there was live music and speakers from the church in Australia.  On the downside, I fell asleep during the preaching (It was really good. I was just really tired).  On the plus side, a lot of people came to know Jesus for the first time!  That was awesome :-)

To top off the night I went with Evette (my roommate) to get an oil massage.  A few days ago a friend PayPal-ed me some money with a note, "...if you spend this on anything BUT luxuries I'm going to be pissed. Get yourself a massage."  That didn't take much convincing.  And massages here are CHEAP!  The 1 hour oil massage was less than $10! 
Last time I went to this particular massage parlor it was really awkward when a man propositioned me for sex.  "You come back I give you massage. I pay you."  Ick.  But I later found out that this is extremely abnormal for this parlor and they're usually really good.  So I decided to give it another try and LOVED it!  It was the best massage I've ever had in my life!
