  •     Liar liar  Not just Jim Carey.  That would be all men. They are so professional at lying that sometimes it makes me wonder if they were born with it or that they are so well-trained in pro- schools. I recieved an email from my ex this morning saying “you are smart, beautiful, kind-hearted”. Yeah right… He left me… He should stop lying …

  •         FAMILY  I did something last night which I havent done


     in a long time, long enough that I dont actually remember when was the last time I did this……


     (get all the dirty dirty off you mind David, I know what are you thinking.


    LOL.). I actually sat on the table and had dinner with my parents.


    We ate and had great conversations which I know they really appreciated it.


    Thanks Khanh..


            AFFAIR   I had a talk with my girlfriend last night who is newlywed.


     She is happy that she gets to share her life with the man she loves but also


     worrying that he is still involved with his ex. He is married and still talking


    to his ex… She has been asking him not to talk to that girl, but he refuses…


    Why guys are so greedy???

  •     Many of you wonder and are happy for me that the EX issue has gone out of my life. One thing I recently realize that life is not just about the love of a couple, there are more out there for me to love… which I had taken for granted…. the love between me and each one in my family, the love in friendships, the love that i have for many unfortunate people out there… I promise that i wont turn my back on anyone I love.


      of course I still love him dearly, but it is not the only love now in my life that I think of or the only one who I have my love for.



          After meeting this one guy yesterday made me realizing that I am so blessed to live my life. He has worked so hard all his life to get what he wants. Now he gets all paid back from his hard work. He has everything that he worked for but also a cancer that he’s never thought of. I saw on his head a big scar runs from one side to the other which results from a serious brain tumor surgery.


      I appreciate every moment in my life and all the happiness that each and everyone of you out there bring to me. I enjoy my life. I always love and I am always loved.

      What a trip!! Georgia – Virginia- New York- New Jersey.. I’ve never spent this much time on the road in my life. My first time in NY amazed me. The city, the lifestyle, the shopping and the food made me think about moving there to be a part of the city. I walked 12 hours straight in the city without realizing how tired I got til the next day. I used to think Miami is the greatest shopping place but now it’s New York, baby. I could just walk more than 12 hours to shop if I could afford all the nice stuffs that I wanted… Chinese food was never my kind of food, but chinese food in Manhattan was different. I guess I had never had the REAL chinese food anyway. Now I still have the taste and the smell of the Trieu Chau noodle soup and the Shanghai dumplings in my mind. Yummmyyyy…


          I’m still exhausted from the 4 day trip with 7 hours sleep total. However, it’s all worth it cuz I got to spend time with anh Khanh dep trai .

  •      Fashion Designers are so smart nowaday. They dont just come up with better designs but they tend to make the size number of the clothes smaller and smaller. If you think about it, they didnt have clothes in size 0 in the last 10 years or 00 in the last 4 years. Working a beauty industry, I get to witness a lot of fun among the women. I have some women call in for the liposuction consultations, they say that they havent increased any size of clothes after having 2,3,4… children. “I wore size 4 ten years ago, now i am still in size 4″ they proudly say. They dont know back in the days, the designers made clothes start off by size 2, then 4, 6 and so on. Now, they start from 00 then 0….. If you really think about it, you wore size 4  and you still wear 4, the bad news is .. YOU INCREASED 2 SIZES. Pretty smart of them, isnt it? They trick us women.


        While the size of the clothes get smaller, the size of the bras increase. For men’s sake, they have bra cups in DDD and even with size F or higher.






       Pollen is so bad in Atlanta. My car packed outside over the night and I cant tell the color of it anymore. It’s the bright yellow now.. I feel sorry for those who suffer the allergy.






      Today is my first day on Zantrex 3 and it is making me nervous because of the caffeine contained in it. I was told to take 2 tablets before each meal and I’ve been shaking since this morning. I know that my body is sensitive to caffeine. Maybe it takes time for my body to get used to it. Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

  •  Sex and Relationship   My buddy, Vinny finally called last night after months that we hadnt had any long talk. Even though he doesnt have time to hang out with me anymore since he gets in a serious relationship, I still know that our friendship has always been there, and I am happy for him that he’s found his soul mate. During our long talk, we both were surprise how people come in and out of your life and how much each one effect you. Someone might come into your life and had been there for awhile but they dont leave any imprint as big as other who had just been for a short period of time. And this we both cant explain.. just like I cant explain to him how I still think of someone who had come into my life for only a few months and has been out of my life for a long time. He still doesnt believe that I can be like that. He has known me as a strong woman that nothing can make me down, especially relationship. He wants to know that I wait for “him”. Well, no Vinny… I dont put a hold in my life for anyone, but I dont want to waste my time on relationships that I dont want to be in. I am happy with where I am now.


      Vinny: well, It’s good to know that you’re happy. I can see that you are very comfortable with your life. I am happy to see that.


     Me: Yes I am.


     Vinny: But dont you feel like you are missing something out?


     Me: Like what?


     Vinny: Sex


     Me: hahahaha… I know but it’s ok. I can control myself.


     Vinny: It’s everyone’s needs. You must need it too. Have you ever thought of having one night stand?


     Me: No way. Some people think Im slutty, but I know myself the best. (and David, stop it)


    Vinny: So would you make love with some girl? Most of white girls have experienced that, you know that, right?


     Me: No I dont know… Nasty boy.


     Vinny: Well, i am trying to understand women. If I can write a book about how women feel and think about sex and relationship, then I could be famous.


     Me: Nice to think like that… but it’s only a dream for you. Dream on…


      Diet  A client of mine lost 60 lbs since October 2003 with South Beach diet. It is a safe diet method. She says she has more energy than she had ever had. She looks so much younger that I didnt reccognize her when she walked in. I told her that she looks 15 years younger and she tipped me well.

  •      I feel down and I know exactly why I feel this way but there’s nothing for me to do about it now. I need a getaway time to be away from everything and everybody, to find the answers for the questions that I have in mind.



     


       A friend asks “why a girl like you is still single?” I reply ” Then a girl like what isnt?”


       I am the girl who is desperate to move on but what is holding me back? There’s a puzzle missing in my life, and Im on the journey to look for that puzzle.


     


       Lucky Charm  To my Mom, Im her lucky charm. That much can tell how superstitious she is. She believes that since the day I was born, her life has come to a diffrent path, the better path it is. She says after I was born, she opened up the sewing company and it went well (because I came to her life??). Now, even I dont get along with her well but she still askes me to have the privilege to take her to special events that she thinks she needs luck. She makes me fill out the petition paperworks for her to bring my sister to America (again she needs luck), and she receives the respond letter within a week or two, again she says that I have good hands. She didnt even let my Dad write the check for the paperwork fee, she gave me the signed check and told me to do the rest cuz she didnt want his writing messes up my luck. My Dad and I find that very funny. My Dad doesnt believe in it cuz he is the man or that he stops believing in luck after the best luck I brought to him when I was 3, since then I havent shown anything. I picked out the lottery ticket from one old man who sold lottery tickets on the street, and the ticket got the first prize ( the prize was not so big cuz it was in Vietnam but it was big for us back then).

  •  Relationship   I hate it so much when seeing a girl cries because of relationship. I saw my cousin fought with her boyfriend outside the parking lot in front of my store yesterday and I couldnt help being upset when she came back in with red eyes and tears on her face. I wanted to comfort her but she cried so much that she couldnt talk and didnt want to stay  any longer. I felt so bad. The picture of her crying face haunted me all night and again appeared in my dream.Was it her crying or that I saw myself?



      Issue  We have been friends, good friends. Suddenly, out of nowhere he says “what about us? I’m attracted to you.” I never think of him that way. He is a nice guy and could be a good boyfriend but I have some unanswered questions that I’m still searching for the right answers. I dont want to lose our friendship over anything. Let’s just be friends.


       Life   It’s so amazing how something you dont care or notice but to your surprise it’s extremely important to others. I find it’s so funny how some people look at me as their enemy/competitor/potential threat while I dont really know them, what they look like or that they even exist in life. From time to time, I hear people ask me if I know this or that person because they’ve been talking about me as if they know so much. With false, little knowledge about me, they come up with something and from that they can talk to people. From talking with an old friend, I found out that I was the reason that caused her losing her job. It happened for while now, but I didnt know it at all. It made me feel so bad about it but then she knew that it was not in my control and I didnt know anything about it. Anyhow, she thanked me for it because from that incident she knew so much more about life and people, especially the boss that she worked for who she thought as her close one and a person that she could look up to.
