In a couple weeks another candle will appear on my cake, another 1 added on my number when people ask me how old i am, and I’ve been doing this for a decade. However  I still remember my sweet 16 just like it was yesterday .I guess cuz it wasnt sweet as it was supposed to be….

   My Mom promised me that she would give me a pair of boots from Payless Shoes that I always wanted as a birthday gift with one condition… She wanted me to stay up late a night before to help her sewing clothes so that she could get paid on the next day. If you know me, sleep is more important than anything .. I can sleep a whole day away. But being able to wear those white boots, being able to look as decent as my classmates, and being able to wear boots in the winter instead of my old sandals so that my feet could be warm outweighted my good sleep. So I agreed. I stayed up til 4 or 5 when I couldnt keep my eyes open anymore and my Mom told me to go to sleep. I went to sleep with the dream getting my birthday present when I get home from school. The next day, when I got home from school my uncle said he wanted to talk to me. He yelled at me for being materalistic at such age, for wanting the shoes that “those Spanish”wore. I didnt say anything but cried and was mad at my Mom for a whole week for listening to him.

  Until now I still dont understand what he meant by “those Spanish”. Like I had choices. If I did, I wouldnt choose Payless, I’d get Gucci instead..hahaha.. ( i guess he was right with the being materialistic part.) Anyways, time flies and Im close to 26… 10 years have passed and now I am able to buy myself a birthday present that I want but I still wish that I could get those boots from Payless.. Just to get my dream fullfilled.

   My sister got freaked out, “There’s somebody’s head in the trash can”……  Haaahaha..I had taken my hair extension off and the trash can was filled with hair.

    Im so sleepy..I woke up at 6:30 this mornign to do bridal make up..Sometimes i dont understand why Vietnamese people have their wedding ceremony too early…too early that the bride could be too exhausted before they could have their first dance. I’ll make sure I dont have to wake up that early to do my make up on my wedding day. Otherwise, I’d rather show up with a puffy face after a tight sleep.

  Hmmm..lets see whats on my mind now? a nice long nap?…sounds good, i need that. But what can beat a nice long nap?? Sitting in a poker game with a glass of green milk tea with boba and coffee jelly.hehehe.. .. Oops..never mind..that wont be allowed.. I need to save $$ for my car..No more money for poker (for now).

   I swear my boyfriend’s family are the nicest people i’ve ever met (trust me..im not kissin asses).. each and everyone of them (except him) hahaaha ….Love them all. I feel so lucky.

 well, thats it for now.. come back later..i gotta take a nap.

  “Thanks for trying Xanga Premium”  No more Xanga Premium for me???… Mandy told me to buy 1 year cuz she said that I’d leave Xanga before that time’s up… (youre so wrong)

  Orlando weekend was great. During the weekend i was in Orlando i also realized that lots of couples aren’t  in good relationships and that I am in a great one. I am blessed.

  I cant make it to Cali this time cuz we cant find anyone to dogsit. Instead, we are going  to Orlando to take the boys to the beach for their first time. Cant wait to see them running around the beach.

  Surely, I need another vacation.. California this time..

Well, you guys asked for an update..here it is.. happy???

   ATTENTION GIRLS.

  IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE VIETNAMESE NEW YEAR PAGEANT IN ATLANTA, PLEASE SIGN UP WITH ME. I’M GONNA BE ONE OF THE JUDGES.

  Back from Vietnam.. getting back to work. Pictures later??

   Im locked out. I’ve been out since 6 am this morning til now (10pm).. My throat hurts and i really need some rest before leaving the city again for my getaway weekend. Damn, I hate how slow people are sometimes.. It usually takes at least 20 minutes for the lady in the house to open the door everytime i come home. I stood outside for almost 30 minutes and finally i decided to go to the internet cafe by myself rather than standing there waiting for her to get her butt to the door.

   The trip has been great so far. I’ve only been here for a week but the past week was pretty productive…lots of eating, clubing, drinking.. but lack of sleep.. I dont know how can people sleep in the morning when its so noisy outside.. I ‘ve been waking up at 5:30 every morning.

 well, gotta go home to catch some sleep tonight.. Im leaving for Mui Ne early tomorow morning. I heard it is one of the best beach in Vietnam. I hope it is as beautiful as Son Tra Beach in Da Nang… OMG, I’ve never seen a view that beautiful.

  It’s amazing when you realize how much you love someone when you’re not there with him.
