So I'm sitting here again with Jan and Roy. Today is their 49th anniversary. But actually, it isn't. Jan is in her early stages of alzheimer's and isnt' sure what day it is. Their anniversary is on Friday. The 11th. But for this house today, it's the 11th. Or their anniversary is the 9th. Whatever works. But we're celebrating today for them. And for 49 years.
And Roy smiles, and eats his popcorn, and jokes with his wife, congratulating her on 'another 20 years.....'

85 hours.....really
Too much footage.
My eyes are acutally turning square. I thought my mum was making that up when I was a kid. But nope. It's really happening. I mean seriously. 13 hours in front of my computer in the last 24 is jsut down right scary.
Too much footage.

So why is it that physical humour is so funny?
And yet painfully not.
I hate total lame-o slapstick physical humour movies and stuff, but I am sitting with Jan and Roy (the 70 and 76 year old I am living with here on the Island) watching America's funniest home videos and it could not be funnier watching people fall of docks, out of trees, get poked in the eye.... you get the idea.
And I was talking to a certain boy (you know who you are) about going down a hill on a trolley on top of it and hitting a speed bump and flying onto your neck. Now that's not funny. but you knwo what. It really really is. You still owe me a video of that btw!!!!
But yeah, it really shouldnt' be funny, but I know I laugh. Everytime.
And what about that T-shirt: 'It's funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious.....'
Oh dear.....

So I got escorted home by the police yesterday.
I know.
First night in Victoria and I get brought home by the cops. Well one cop to be precise.
So I was at the office here in Victoria. I got off the ferry, met the people I will be staying with for the next month, and then went over to the YWAM Victoria office to start getting a handle on the editing work that I will be doing over the next month. So I get into the swing of it, am working hard, and then get into doing a couple of other errand type things, and talking on Skype, so then by the time I leave the office it's 9pm. And dusky. And I realise I can't remember how to get to where I am staying.
I'm pretty sure I ahve a general idea though, so I start to retrace the path that I think the car took that drove me there in the first place. Then a cop car pulls up, so I figure, 'hey lets just ask a cop' so I say 'is this the right direction to be walking to get to Fraser st?' and the cop says 'sorry miss you're going the wrong way, turn around and it'll be about 4 blocks up'
So I thank him and move on.
About 4 blocks later I'm kinda looking and walking, not too worried, but a little confused, and then I hear a breathless 'umm, Maam?'
And the cop's partner is running up behind me. So I stop and turn, and he says (a little pink) 'umm, sorry, my partner sent you the wrong way, it's one block off where you were when you stopped to ask us. I'll walk you back'
so we walk and turn down the street and he says 'ok this is fraser' shines his flash light up on to the street sign and it reads in big flourescent letters 'CARLISLE STREET'
and the cop says 'Oh no, now I'm lost too!'
So a motorcyclist pulls up just then (while I'm laughing trying to reassurethis guy that he isnt' in fact a bad cop) and I suggest that we should ask him, given he lives right here.
'so, do you know how we can get to Fraser st'
the guy takes of his helmet, looks from me to the cop and back at me, and laughs and says 'it's two blocks that way, the police station is on the corner of Fraser!'
the cop blushes again and mumbles something about not being from around here and walked me all the way home, much to the amusement of the couple that I am staying with here.
So anyways.
In other news...
I have Facebook now. Lame. I got sucked into the online community vortex that was. *whimper* and a voice in the distance mumbles '....sellout....' sigh
But yeah, I'm now listed and linked and my wall is written on.......
So yeah. I'm here in Victoria. I'm staying here with a beautiful old couple named Roy and Jan and their cat Misha. Roy is 76, Jan is 70 and their 49th wedding anniversary is the same day as my 23rd birthday! (ahem, Friday 11th hint hint cough)
It's been fun hanging out with them, and today we had a great day, I slept in, had breakfast with them, went and worked out at the rec centre and then we piled into their huge dodge minivan and drove all around victoria, all aroudn the water, looking at their church, the houses they grew up in, the army barracks roy lived in, and i got to be a little part of a very long history for a short moment. I'm pleased to say i had the best fish and chips for lunch sitting on the wharf too, the smell was just like home and it was fun to hear about their lives and grandkids and kids and church friends and senior aquasize and game night and the crazy cat and the wheelchair business and dentists and dreams and visions and hopes and ideas, and then tonight sitting having tea with Jan and hearing their love story. It's a beautiful thing to see two people so happy and safe with one another, who genuinely laugh and tease and care and nag and love. I want my slightly gooofy husband when I'm 70 to tell me i'm too sweet to have sugar in my coffee too one day. and he still tells her at least 5 times a day how pretty she is. it's a beautiful thing.
I'm going to church wtih them in the morning and Jan is going to introduce me to her choir ladies........ :) and while I know I'm out of practice with reading out of a prayer book, I'm looking forward to it.
Have taken a roll of pictures already, it's beautiful here, and I started out with Jan and Roy with my camera out, so I'm getting some good pics of them too. Need to start taking more pics of faces and people and lives and laughing and tears and eyes. Need to get closer.
Am excited for this month. God is so good. Already have been talking with friends, near and far (yay for Skype!) and even though I felt so overwhelmed when I first got off the ferry here, it's really comforting to know that I'm not too isolated.
And I realise I never actually posted from Oregon. I left to go there, then was swamped leading the team and something in me couldn't post, I had to just be there, and live it and I figured I would post later and better.
It was an amazing trip. God overwhelmed me, saved me and made me laugh, and brought me really special people, and made me see how special the people I was with were, even more than I already knew. I realise I love America more and more everytmie I go, and I miss the people, the laughs, the humour, the radio, the food, the driving, the scenery, the coffee, the colour, the people, the music, the shops, the churches, the YWAMers, the people....... Is this really my life? I wanna go back soon......
So it's coming up on 9 months since this leg of my Canada life started up, and there are big changes in the winds ahead. More info will be in my next newsletter, but yeah, it's exciting, keep praying with me and for me ok?
Loads of love, I'm off to bed
Leave me comments, I miss you

Man two posts in one day.
Firstly, I'm happy to say I'm getting back into video stuff, and Laura has put two of my videos on her podcast site, so if you wanna look or download or whatever you can check it out here.
The first is called "Live a life less ordinary" (Laura's name not mine) which we made for the promo tour we did in Seattle and will be taking to Portland with us, and the "Team Malaysia" is a technically rough, but fun video of our time on outreach in Malaysia.
Gives you a better idea of my life here and how things have been going and what I have been up to.
Urg. I really truly had something I really wanted to post and I can't remember
Gutted. Can't remember.
I am going to buy the Sione's wedding soundtrack for my birthday I think. Or you could buy it for me... ;) a good sound of home if ever I heard one.
Thanks for being there Rob and Lois, you guys are legendary.

So after a bunch of searching and wondering, we have a house!
I can't even really believe it, but it was real and we walked in the beautiful front door (which sadly I didn't get a pic of!!!) but yeah, I will have one soon enough!
It's going to be so beautiful and wonderful and it's so encouraging to see God provide for all of us, with one big beautiful house and one reallly really great landlord.
The 6 girls will move into the 3 bedroom upstairs suite and the 3 boys will move into the downstairs suite. it's going to be a big beautiful party and I can't wait. Though I will have to becuase with this work in Victoria and everything,I won't really get to settle in until June. But who cares! We have a house!
Check out these lovely pics, thanks Reeebeee
This is our beautiful kitchen, with fridge and gas stove. Out the back where you see the flowers in that window is a little nook area/sunroom with a little mudroom bit for the winter, and a back door out onto the porch at the back.
Jana posing at the back of the house. We have the top, and the boys are in the basement. The white door is a big stoarge area for all our bikes! Yay for living in Vancouver!
Our living room. The door on the right is the main front door to the front little porch.
The yellow room where Jacqui, Rebecca and I will probably make home
The blue room for Jessa and Jana probably
The little candy floss pink room for Hannah
So yeah, I am really looking forward to moving in and really be able to unpack and settle and do normal things like buy a bed and stuff. Though even as I type this, one thing I've really been learning in the last 6 months or so is that home is a very abstract term. I am resisting the urge to type some dumb cheesy "home is where the heart is" kind of platitude, but at the same time.......
Ok enough for now. I remember I had a bunch of thing I was going to blog about but I can't remember. Oh yeah. Bitter diatribe. I tried to download those episodes of Shortland Street, and it turns out that I am not allowed to watch them or download them or anything because I am outside of New Zealand. Curses. What I ask is why do TVNZ think that anyone within New Zealand would want to download them, instead of people outside New Zealand who are stupid enough to ACTUALLY MISS SHORTLAND STREET!!! lol. Tragic and sad that I am actually admitting that I miss it. It's drivel and pathetic, but it's amusing right.
Anyways, nothing else I was going to say just for those of you who have forgotten what I look like cuz it's been sooooo long, here is a pic i just found I had from Nancy's wedding weekend in Calgary. Actually truth be told it's from St Paticks Day at the pub after Nancy's wedding, but we had a super fun awesome time, and bit of a mini reunion of our DTS, with 10 of us, 11 including Stefan, 12 including Nancy, and it was beautiful and awesome. Congrats Joe and Nancy, I know I'm a month or so late, but yeah, very cool wedding.

So after the quickest border crossing I've ever ever been a part of I am back in (amazingly) sunny Vancouver for a bit of the beautiful spring, before making a beeline in 10 days or so back to the USA, or more specifically to Portland, Oregon.
I feel like it's been ages since I blogged and there is SO much to tell.
ok
so I'm going to try bullet point form to firstly limit ramble, but also to try and cover everything I want to in a clear and concise fashion. Also, for those skim readers out there with a short attention span, you can get a quick overview.

ok
so I'm going to try bullet point form to firstly limit ramble, but also to try and cover everything I want to in a clear and concise fashion. Also, for those skim readers out there with a short attention span, you can get a quick overview.
- This is a good book -
- I really really like fruits. And I'm happy that strawberries are in season and cheap again. That and asparagus (i know that isn't a fruit, but you know what I mean)
- I'm a little nervous to put the Neo flags counter up, I don't wanna be the lamer with only one little bouncy flag. Don't let me down peeps.
- Oh yeah, I ate some peeps. You know americans, those little yellow sugar wrapped in sugar chicken things for easter? one word. yuck.
- YWAM Seattle are really cool people and I had a really great time hanging out with them and getting to know them more. I'm hoping to go back for a visit with them with Philip when he comes to visit in June, because Seattle is also a super awesome groovy cool city that I'm looking forward to seeing in summer.
- I just watched 'Sione's Wedding', a great Kiwi movie made by Oscar Kightley and the Naked Samoans. It was funny and sweet and oooooozing wtih Kiwiana, to the point I have to admit I got a little teary eyed. It's all shot in Auckland, and full of Samoan, Maori, Kiwi, Island goodness that makes me miss home and want to find some Islanders to hang out with. It's a different world that I can't even begin to explain, and even though I am unashamedly white and nerdy, I miss it. You should watch it. In fact, once I am done making these pies I am making, you can come over and watch it with me. Pies, pineapple lumps (I found them Jessa!) pavlova and Sione's wedding. Sigh!
- So in our search for housing, it is looking like we might have something. all will be confirmed tomorrow. All 6 of us girls are waiting on hearing back from a landlord tomorrow morning on a large 3 bedroom house that we can share with a great kitchen, living area, deck and nice (i hope) bathroom. It was weird trusting the other girls to suss it out while Jessa and I were in Seattle, but here's hoping that it all works out. More info when we get it, but please pray for us!
- I'm still coughing a little bit. But it's a lot better. Thanks for praying!
- I love video editing. Except today I wanted to tweeeeek our promo video and I realised after doing my desktop tidy up I messed up a bunch of file paths that Premiere needed for my working copy. Urg. Lots of files in "offline" mode now. Mucho frustrating.
- For those who didn't know already, I'm planning to do a lot more video/media stuff in the near future. More details when everything is official, but if anyone wants to join in with paying into the 'BUY HILLARY A WICKED AWESOME VIDEO CAMERA' just let me know.
and.......DRUM ROLL PLEASE..... - I have just been informed by my dear friend Brett that TVNZ (the equivalent of CBC for you Canadians) has put Shortland Street on "TV on Demand" on their website. Now this may not be a big deal for most of you, but for a lil'ol'occaisionally-home-sick me, that is HUGE. I don't even like Shorty that much (ok who am I kidding, I really used to be addicted to it during university!!!) and now I can watch it whenever I want. "You're not in Guatemala now, Dr. Ropata" AMEN!
- Oh yeah, and I did the personality test that Ralph did. Check it out, pretty colours.......
- Oh and last but not least, check out these brilliant and beautiful websites. The first is an excellent source of free stock pictures, and the second is my new favourite grape website, where I can buy stuff from New Zealand for not too much, and a relatively cheap delivery fee. Dilmah tea and Gingernuts here I come!
- Happy Birthday Sara
- Happy Birthday Philip
- Congratulations Amy and Luuk

So of the American cities I have been to so far, I think Seattle is probably 'grape'. (catch the regan quote there anyone)
For those lay people out there in the world, that basically means that Seattle is favourite.
I'm not sure yet, after a day of "Downtown pic tour plunge" (the YWAM Seattle version of Urban plunge for you Vancouver MA types) I can't help but find a lot of similarities between this beautiful city and my home-away-from-home Vancovuer. I'm not sure if Vancouver is like a Canadian version of Seattle or if Seattle is a Canadian version of Vancouver (which was built first?) but both are beautiful and diverse and colourful and developed and full of culture, fun and life. There of course are the bad things that they have in common too, andthe good and bad that define them individually, but that's always going to be the case I guess.
We are staying with the lovely folk at YWAM Seattle (did I mention I was on a promo/outreach tour team?) until the 1st, and it's been a pleasure crashing with these guys, chilling out, laughing, getting to know a bunch of Americans, and just generally being made to feel really welcome. We have a super busy week planned, so not sure if I will get to post again, but I figured I better put something on here, or you might stop reading! (not that I know that many people that do read this regularly, but a girl can dream right?)
Also, because this is a promo type thing, I am half way through editing a video that will probably be a part of some of our presentations. Aubrey and I have been working on the storyboard of it together, and I've been loving stretching out my editing muscles again on Adobe Premiere (a mint programme for sure!)
For those of you who know me at all, you will know this is a HUGE step in smooshing together my life and work in NZ with my new life and work here with YWAM, and it's only the beginning of a crazily exciting whirlwind docutour that will be unbelieveable if it all comes off as planned.
So please keep hoping and praying with me, and maybe I'll send you a DVD of some cool stuff or something I edited someday. (i knwo, can you believe it!) lol
but yeah, i'm stoked, and really the only bummer on the whole situation is that I am sick and staying back from outreach tonight, while my team is chilling with people over free hot chocolate in downtown seattle, primarily becuase I am coughing and spluttering like a chesty smoker, and after every bout of coughing needs to just smile when one of the team will "bring me back the lung that i just coughed up"
hopefully one night in will be more than enough to come right, but would definately appreciate prayer, as i would love to participate fully on this tour as much as possible and be an active part of this team.
For now, I pray and edit and wait, and do my best to learn something, and then occaisionally blog to you kind folk.
I miss you all, and think about you often. (unless you read this and i dont' know you in which case i'm amused, and i hope you aren't bored right now)
enough for today
much love, hill
For those lay people out there in the world, that basically means that Seattle is favourite.
I'm not sure yet, after a day of "Downtown pic tour plunge" (the YWAM Seattle version of Urban plunge for you Vancouver MA types) I can't help but find a lot of similarities between this beautiful city and my home-away-from-home Vancovuer. I'm not sure if Vancouver is like a Canadian version of Seattle or if Seattle is a Canadian version of Vancouver (which was built first?) but both are beautiful and diverse and colourful and developed and full of culture, fun and life. There of course are the bad things that they have in common too, andthe good and bad that define them individually, but that's always going to be the case I guess.

So it's been a while, and I am unbelieveably jetlagged.
I realised today in staff meeting that this is not a suprise when 3 things happened to indicate the possible level of how ragged we all are after flying into Vancouver, (across the entire pacific ocean I might add) at 10am, and then being at work precisely 23 hours later....
(during staff meeting) "Wow, you look drunk!"
(while praying) "I know we are all feeling pretty hung over right now..."
(also while praying) "God, please be the shot in the arm that we need to get us through this day with good attitudes" hmmmm. concerning.
But yeah. Basically just wanted to put the word out there that I am back in this Vancouver, BC, CANADA, freaking a little, reeling a lot, and doing my best to take stock of the bitter sweet things I find waiting for me upon my return. I'll be doing a newsletter sometime this week, and in the meantime, here are a few pictures from the last couple of months.....
Much love, and many thoughts of home and you that I love

So it's one of those days where I feel like I am thinking about so much stuff that my brain really might just suddenly seize up and harden into a block of something resembling cheese or polyfilla. eeeeewww, that was an odd mental picture.
So we've had a fun day today, we had usual base worship here, then cleaning and lunch and then headed across town to the central market to shop a bit (and hang out with a VERY cute Kashmir salesman....) and then on to meet Mike for a swim at the Marriot Hotel. Needless to say, very swanky and filled with more white people than we have seen in our entire trip so far!
We did have fun though and it was really good to talk with Mike, albeit briefly about some options back in Vancouver and how things will progress from here. I know we are alwasy telling the students to live in the moment and really try not to be distracted by the future and other plans and ideas and to really finish well, but I think today was nice to take my eyes off this outreach and really look forward in a really good excited way about what lies beyond. And now I can check fully back in, the bitter of finishing and saying goodbye to Malaysia, and my friends here and this DTS, sweetened by a world of possibilities now ahead.
Anyways. Brother Charles, Adam, Erik, Sam and Crystal are having a full on Elvis Rock jam session right now to practice for going to a Muslim Drug rehab centre on Saturdya night, so I am going to sign off now, have a bit of a dance and let Crystal have the computer to look up some lyrics.
14 days til Vancouver.......
Heaps of love

So I'm in another net cafe in KL.
Gamers are obnoxious.
Seriously. Who does that. Get headphones for your stupid gun games and music!
Ahem
Ok
sorry
outburst aside
I can't even really believe that I am still here and I've already been here 6 weeks, and will be back in dear Vancouver in less than 2 1/2 weeks. my my where has the year gone. To be really honest, I'm dreading leaving Malaysia, there is definately a part of me staying behind, and a realisation that I'm gonna need to come back for sure. Is that really you God? (i know i know, shameless dig at the gospel according to Loren) but really, I think KL is definately another stop on the highway ahead.
Wow that was a terrible metaphor
So anyways
HAve been researching options for the team debrief, none of which i will post here because i didnt' know (until recently) that some of the students actually read this and we want debrief to be a total suprise. so it will have to be for all of you too! :D
All that aside, things have been going really well. WE got to participate in the 20 years of YWAM in Malaysia celebration on sunday night, and catch up with some awesome old school YWAM types in the likes of Tom Hallas, and Kel Steiner (yay for the South Pacific) and generally chill out, dress up, and eat some yummy food at a swanky hotel in the heart of KL.
I am holding the fort today working at the base with Erik and Braden, Crystal is sick,and the others have gone to Kawan. I should be back there on Wednesday though, on with Cantonese/Mandarin lessons!!! :D
I bought presents yesterday, that was fun.
Also, finally commited 6 months worth of savings into my portable harddrive, to be used for editing purposes when i'm back in Van. Needless to say it is a thing of wonderous silver aluminium cased beauty and sleekness, and both myself and the other appreciative and understanding computer nerds present kissed it and stroked it and ooed and aahed over the new 'baby'
Speaking of babies, any news on Wade and Jo......?
No pics today sorry due to technical difficulties and the fact htat i have to leave this net cafe before I ahve a tanty at the aforementioned gamers
Lots of love
Hill

Wow So I can't believe that's it has already been a month nearly since I have posted! How did that even happen? Oh yeah, cuz I'm in Malaysia!tehehe So hopefully you have not given up on reading this entirely and you have not forgotten about me, because I have been sending emails even though I haven't been posting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
So today was one of those days filled with amazing potential for "so this one time...." stories.
Not everyone will quite understand what that could possibly have meant, but the myriad of crazy that filled my day today was rather shocking! :)
But now, as I sit here at either very late at night or very early in the morning I am struck with the realisation that is is now 2007, tomorrow (or 7 hours from now) I fly to asia, I am goign to turn 23, and I need a haircut. Like I said, an night of big realistaions.
Actually I didnt' actually say that did I. Anyway...
Well as vague as this post has been, (and I promise the drivel will stop very shortly as verbal dimwitedness gives way to sleep) I'm glad to close the book on 2006 and welcome in 2007. I'm excited for the possiblities, curious to look around the many bends in the road, and freshly reminded of the amazing and wonderful friends that I have in my life that have so taken care of me regardless of my particular brand of crazy.....I'll tell you the stories if you care some other time.
Anyways, take off time is in 7 hours, so it's definatley sleep time
Love you lots like jelly tots (I mis syou Gav!)

Merry Christmas!!!!!!
I know I am a day late for anyone reading in pretty much anywhere else in the world, but for Vancouver I still have an hour and 10 minutes to revel in Christmas jolly-ness, so bear with me ok?
It's been so awesome
I find myself sitting in my little flat with my Christmas lights, tealights, cute little christmas tree and really realising how blessed I am.
Wait, I know I know, CHEESE, but seriously!
Not only did I have two amazing Christmas days with two wonderful beautiful families here in Vancouver, but I got to... (just to name a few....)
1) Eat TURKEY!! (with duck and cornish hen and stuffing and potatoes and gravy and cranberries and.....mmmmmmmmmm........)
2) Be part of the making of a TURDUCKEN! (www.diygourmet.blogspot.com for more details)
3) Opened up my first amazing wonderful Christmas stocking filled with wonderful thoughtful loot
4) Heard from some people from a bunch of places around the world, and shared some wonderful Christmas friendship.
And much more amazing wondefulness that I can't even begin to type out.......
I seriously look back on my post from about a week ago and say again (with a rather different feeling in my heart) how is this my life?
It's been so awesome after some pretty low times here in Vancouver to really feel so welcomed and at home and relaxed, and though I miss some certain not named here individuals very very very (yup you read that right, THREE verys!!!!) much......I can still smile and say I've had an amazing two days of Christmas.
Thank you, all of you, for soooooo much wonderful investment in me. Thankyou for taking care of me.
Happy Birthday Jesus.
Love, hillary

So much to blog about and so little time
I am going to breadrun in 45 minutes. It will be the first time I have ridden my bike in a long time too becuase of all the rain and snow etc in Vancouver so we'll see how well I do.
There has been so much going on and I've admittedly done an appalling job of keeping this page up to date.
So lets see.
I had a really weird feeling of 'how is this my life'. I got an email from Philip saying that he 'found me' on imdb.com. Yeah I know. Who would've thought. How is this my life.
And then, I was walking down 1st avenue, and looking up at the beautiful mountains, very early in the morning and completely overwhelmed by how beautiful the skyscape was, mountains, cranes, North Van houses and 1st murals. Beautiful Vancouver........how is this my life?
And now Christmas shopping, waiting in line at Chapters and HMV for 20 minutes at a time, and I still wonder.....
This is a crazy beautiful priviledge, and I wonder.....
Thursday night was Lovefeast, and for those of you not well versed in YWAM-ese that basically is the end of lecture phase party for the DTS students and staff leaving on outreach.
We invited everyone from our little community and dress up and have a good dinner.
Also, because of Christmas we got turkey......mmm mmmmmm....turkey........
It was a relaly good night to see everyone all dressed up and excited and having fun and looking back on the 3 months past and 2 months ahead on outreach.
Friday night we had our small group Christmas party hanging out, had dinner out at an amazing fusion restaurant on the Drive called SASH, and then dessert and a movie at mine and Jacqui's house. Watched 'Whale Rider' and cried and laughed and cried more over the beautiful story and beautiful New Zealand.
Yesterday was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. We finally managed our big sleep in and our once monthly bacon and egg girl chilling out brunch. It's sad that this is our last one til I come back from outreach, but we enjoyed ourselves, eating bacon with Renae and watching 'Ever After'.
Then went meandering around Hastings st, paying bills, buying groceries and (on a whim) getting our eyebrows threaded!!! So weird! and painful! but great fun too, and I never had any idea what a difference $7 and 10 minutes makes to your face!
Very cool.
So yeah, that's pretty much where it is at right now.
Christmas is looking busy, but fun and I hope you all got my Christmas newsletter, if you didnt' and want to, please please email me and I'll make sure you are on my mailing list.
Off to breadrun
Love you
