Sharon Li is a junior that I met through HBSA and she's a sweetie pie. She sends me this message on Facebook today. What's sweeter than pie? That's her.

Hi Sarah,
This is Sharon :)

How are you doing?
How's google treating you?

I'm dropping this message to first and foremost say "Hi" to you!

Secondly, I started checking out InterVarsity this semester and I LOVE IT. I'm going to Marketplace and I heard that you led this small group last year (it would've been good if I knew this last semester and went to marketplace but I'm glad I didn't find out about marketplace too late).

Third, I had a wonderful summer internship experience doing Microfinance research. I started attending Microfinance Decal this semester and have had englightening conversations with Aaron and Emma. I will be joining them next semester to faciliate decal with them together until Spring 2010!

I feel like I'm following your footsteps haha :D
Are you visiting Berkeley any time? Personal visit or perhaps for Google?
Please drop me a message then.

I would love to see you again! (Since I didn't get the chance to see you this summer, thought you would be busy after graduation and vacation so I didn't want to bother you, but i would love to catch up with you at your convenience).

Have another great day at work!

Love,
Sharon

Thank you Sharon for the much needed boost I needed to know that the things I cared about in college are not dead just because I have left. I don't mean I thought they would stop happening in Berkeley; I mean for myself. 4 months post-graduation, I have lost sight, touch, and momentum in seeking two passions: Jesus and social enterprise. This plus the Full Circle Fund meeting I attended last week, plus today having been a really good day (4 phone screens holler back!) is (hopefully) enough to get me going again. I told myself the "I'm adjusting to work life" excuse would only last one month. It's been over a month now. Gotta get going!

Origins (written in 2008)

I started a blog when I was a freshman at Cal. I figured it was time to get a xanga to keep in touch with my home-ies (high school friends). I was trying to think of a name and started gazing around my dorm room. Dani (the source of many of my inspirations) had slapped a bumper sticker on the front of our door, and like any good social floormate, our door was propped open. "PEACEMONGER". But of course, that was taken by some hippie fisherman (I don't really know, there are no posts on peacemonger's xanga). So I made it oOpeacemongerOo because I was still a teenager that thought wOrDs LiKe tHiS were so cool. But xanga is not case sensitive and reverted it to oopeacemongeroo. That looked dumb, but peacemongeroo sounded cool. Then I became a Peace and Conflict Studies minor. Coincidence? Not sure. Then I switched to Blogger because xanaga ads were getting annoying, I am a Google Apps fanatic, and Blogger is better.

I admit, I'm not an avid public blogger. I have four blogs that I use, so this one ends up getting the highly edited updates of my life, funny stories, and "ooh shiny!" moments. But I hope you still enjoy it.
