GGC EM went to the Clippers Game

GGC EM went to the Clippers Game

The GGC EM group went to the Staples Center to watch the LA Clippers vs. Portland Trailblazers on Monday night the 4th. The night started out with dinner at a Mexican restaurant "El Taurino" in LA. El Taurino's hot sauce was a true demonstration of the word "spicy." Some people's faces turn from normal to red as they tasted the sauce whereas some others started to sweat profusely and hiccuped. After the dinner, few people decided that the experience will be bland without the presence of ice cream for dessert. This led to few guys walking over to the Food 4 Less, across the street, and buying some ice cream sandwiches as well as some other snacks. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream sandwiches and snacks.

Then the group drove to the Staples Center. Parking two blocks away, the group walked to the Staples Center. The seats were located in the back, but the group did not have difficulty following the game. During the first half of the game, a lot of the people felt drowsy and tired. Perhaps it was because of the food (I suspect the ice cream sandwiches). At the half time, the GGC EM group found closer seats because a lot of the seats were open (what do you expect? it's a Clippers game!). The second half of the game was a little better, but overall it was a slow game. LA Clippers won the game with the score of 105-95 over the Trail Blazers.

The GGC EM group had a lot of fun over all, however, the group hopes to come back to the Staples Center for Lakers game next time. Thanks to Chris Kim for tickets and opportunity to hang out together as a group. If you missed this fellowship, don't worry; there are plenty more chances to come; please join us next time!

Eating, Enjoying, Giving Thanks pt. 2

"Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise." -George Herbert

We ate good food, we enjoyed good company, and we gave thanks to God for having all these things.

November 28th should have been the day we got together to have November's Fellowship Field trip. November 28th, however, was the day we ate, and the day we watched movies. Both activities were done in huge excess. We had food that could last one person for a whole week, and we watched enough movies to entertain us for the whole week.

The day started off with trying to figure out, exactly who is coming, and who is bringing what. For some reason, everyone thought that there would be a shortage of food. So, the people who were going, decided to bring a lot of food, in case some people might come empty handed. When we all got together, we quickly saw that that was far from the truth. We had a lot of food. I mean, A LOT OF FOOD! We had ribs, stuffing, random korean catered food, pot roast, chicken, turkey sliders, and dumplings. We had food to eat, and then some.

When we all met up at Pastor Julian's house, we couldn't eat right away. We had to wait for the roast to fully cook, so we popped in the movie "Race to Witch Mountain." When that movie ended, the food was ready. So we grabbed our food and popped in another movie "Stardust." According to Pastor Julian, the movie was really good, but many of us were suspicious, because Pastor Julian's taste in movies are not the best. "Stardust" was pretty good though, and we all enjoyed it for what it was. We than turned off the DVD player and decided to see what was on TV. The channel we turned to was playing "Gladiator," so we decided to watch that. Sadly, the night had to end before the movie did, as it was getting late, so we called it a night and went home.

Reflecting on our day of excess, it was a good day. It was truly a day where we ate, enjoyed, and gave thanks!
