4:56am..
I can't sleep :(
Whoa, sorry guys. I never came back after my wave of midterms eh? Those didn't go too well unfortunately :( I made an 80 on one of them and a friend who cheated off me made an 86, and then the guy behind her(her friend) cheated off of her and made a 90! I pulled an all nighter for that shit too! They did too, well she studied but not as hard as me. The guy just stayed at the library and goofed around the whole time. I think he concentrated for only about an hour all night. Pisses me off! $%$#^%*!!! But I am loving UTA library finally staying open 24/7. I stayed up for another 30 after that because I had another freaking exam the next day. I've never done so much studying in my entire fucking life, no shitting man.
I lost my gym addiction :( Poor tummy getting all out of shape. I haven't gone clubbing once since my first time. I haven't really had the urge to which is good right? I'm hearing about all of these breakups in my family. My heart went out to them even though they probably don't give a crap about me, haha. Sometimes I wish I had a more friendly family, but then again sometimes I'm glad they're so far away(not geographically).
Shit, shit, shit! My confirmation is in a month or so. To be confirmed we need 40 hours of community service. I have zero. I tried going to church and getting ONE hour because they asked me to help pass the donation basket around but when I got there, my teacher already had enough people. UGH! I only signed up because she asked me to, plus not to be a bitch but there were people there that don't even need hours of community service because they aren't even going to be confirmed this year. *$#%^@!! Made me wake up early for no freaking reason! I normally go to 1pm mass. God damnit.
Ok, I just reread what I wrote and I MUST be getting my period very soon, haha.
I missed journaling on Chunyi's birthday. Guess what he wanted to do on his birthday Friday? That's right, go to Ennis. And being the brat he is, he turned the whole weekend into his birthday. We went to Rockfish on Saturday which he didn't have too much of a good time at. First off he had to pay for a friend on his own birthday, which royally pissed him off. I didn't think it was a big deal but I know they have big grudges against each other so that's his thing. And then his food wasn't too good so it made him have to go take a big .......... haha :) And then today we went to go see Anger Management, which he laughed so retardedly in. It's really cute hearing his retard laugh in movies because he just can't help it when things are that funny :) Anyways happy belated birthday too, stinky brat. Ohhhhhhhhhh, he wrecked his car not last Friday, but the Friday before that. Man he's had that car for 4 years now and this is the first wreck he's ever been in and his parents got on his ass for it. It's not like they were going to pay for it or anything, they just wanted to rag. Anyways, when we wrecked it, I think I literally heard his heart breaking, so we fixed it the next day. For his heart's sake :)
Ugh I have so much to say! haha I guess I'll be back to write more because I know it gets boring when I write it all at once. I hardly get free time these days. It's just tonight I've been waking up every hour on the hour since 12 so I finally said screw it. Night all :)

10:13pm..
MAN, school has been busy. I've been so damn busy I hardly get any time to sit down and study. My mom calls me at least twice a day and my grandma catches me any moment I'm home and asks for stuff. And I still have to paint the house a second coat with a darker color. CRAP! AND I've been on my period FOREVER now, haha. This is the second freakin' time in only TWO WEEKS! Please shoot me. I should be studying.. I'm gonna go do just that :) I'll be back when my exams are over.. on Wednesday. Don't miss me too much! :P

12:07am..
Wow it's abeen a whole week. It went by pretty fast, this here spring break. I did so much housework. Pat calls me a mom, haha. The freaking gym was closed. The only part that was open was that tiny little weight room part and I needed to run! UTA is super gay to take away the only thing I like about it in the first place during spring break. Today is study and catch up time. Hopefully I won't be asked to do more crap. I painted half the house this past week. Yes half because the other half had trees covering part of it that I couldn't get to. They're supposed to be chopped down soon so I can finish the rest. I took down all the curtains and hand washed then dried them outside, vacuumed, mopped the kitchen dining and bathroom areas, cleaned the bathrooms(damn brothers), and did so many freaking errands. I made some YUMMY cajun shrimp and crawfish pasta. Let's see.
I went clubbing for the first time EVER. And I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. :D I received countless numbers of lap dances, had to be around 20 man. All the while I sat there like a prude catholic school girl screaming and covering my eyes. Yea, it was great. Man I went probably the best group I could have for my first time, they made it so comfortable and fun. Tried some mixed drinks that I've never had and loved them too. Then, when I finally started dancing for like the last 45 minutes, I was dancing with this GIRL and she starts HITTING ON ME. She was part of the group too! I wonder if anyone knows about her, haha. But she was sexy. ;) THANKS SO MUCH PATRICK! (he basicly dragged me kicking and screaming to the club) I will definitely go once in a while with you guys now. But don't hold your breaths inbetween, hahah.
Anyways, last night I went to another wedding. And my my, I must say I was looking pretty darn cute. I didn't take a picture though, I should have. Pat was begging me to go to Shadow again. I just wanted to sleep. And sleep I did. :) I deserved it after all that work I did. AND my brother last night gave me diamond earrings! $1,000! I don't deserve them I know but man were my ears blinding. Talk about BLING! hehe Time for church! I'm late!
Sunday, March 16..
10:30am.. Spring break :)
I don't know what I'm doing yet but I bet it'll be something good. I feel like going to the beach, even our nasty beaches if that's the only option. I'm all tanned up for it. :D I brought home a bunch of magazines from the salon yesterday after work. So even on my days at home I'll be having fun. I saw Kitty last night. She's so cute! She loves me soooo much because she goes crazy when she sees me. I know you're jealous ;) I can't wait to see her babies and who she mated with. Hopefully not the dalmation, haha.
Man, my days are so busy I never have any down time for writing in my journal. I bet if I had more free time I'd study more too. Maybe. Next year I think I'll make my schedule to where I can take care of my shit first. More time at school and then the gym. :) I hate driving back and forth for the gym. I wonder if they'd sell me one of them incline machines, haha. I bet they would too knowing UTA. I heard UTA is pulling out of the UT system since we have more students and more funding now. They're in the process of coming up with a new name for our school, right? I don't know, I just heard a rumor so don't bite my head off.
I'm going to go finish my 'People' magazine now with my shit head turtle. :D

5:41am..
A lot has been happening but I don't want to write about it all at once, because that'd be too long and boring like usual :P So, hmm I went to Houston this past weekend with my parents and it was fun. It's always fun when you go on a trip and your parents pay for everything and you get to just spend money on goodies. :D MAN, I missed the gym down there. The house we stayed at, the father told us one of the boys was going to the gym and I almost asked to go but I remembered I had no gym clothes. Man I would have too! I felt so blah the whole weekend. Houston reminded me of California, only a lot cleaner. We stayed with some of the nicest people; the man was my dad's old close friend from when he first came to America by himself. My dad got piss drunk at the wedding but at least he didn't throw up. The next morning he didn't realize anything he had said, and he said a lot. MY mom and me were lecturing him haha, funny stuff. He told us that women always got a problem, why we gotta have problems for, hilarious. The wife didn't seem to like me much. She seemed to always be watching how I acted, maybe that was just because I was paranoid about the impression I'd make. Or maybe it's just because she was different, very calm. Viet mothers are normally all smily and eager to talk to guests. I mean, it seemed like my dad and her and her husband used to be REALLY close. Don't get me wrong, she was always, always courteous. She just seemed a little, sad. Made me worry for her. I worry for everyone but myself. What I need to worry about is my grades, haha. I think I did pretty well on my exam on Wed.
Anyways, I want to talk about the wedding. It was sooo pretty! Huge golden shimmery ribbons were streamed across the ceiling with a string of white christmas lights under each one. PRETTY! :) And then we had 10 courses, all yummy with the last one being tiramisu with raspberry sauce on the side. Mmm, I almost ate 2 haha. And they had a lot of famous people there along with all of the jewelry storeowners of Houston. I think that wedding had at least 1,200 people. We were at table 62 and that was only 1/3 of the floor. The couple Bich Ngoc was there and the husband even got up to sing later on. It was not bad but not good, naw mean? :P But their faces looked so plasticy and stretched out. Wow, I never thought I'd see them in person. Not a big deal but it was just weird because I see them so much on the back of vietnamese magazines. Wow, and they had this guest that was a famous singer from back in the day and she was GOOD. I mean good good in person. It seemed like a tape was being played and she was lip syncing. Wow, I guess practice does make perfect since she's around like 60 now and sounding great. I saw a lot of hoochies down there, even old ones! Man I have more to say but I'll cut it short. Be back later :)
Oh yea, today I punched chunyi and busted his lip. Go me! (I was really aiming for a hard book he was holding up to protect himself with but he moved, teehee) The blood was gross so we all know he didn't take it like a man, haha JK.... not really. :P
Saturday, March 1, 2003..
So.. life hasn't been too interesting to be journaling about. Bee's been pretty busy I see ;) I'm so freaking tired. I think all that working out has finally caught up to me after three weeks. My body is exhausted all the time now. I'm so tired right now and I didn't even work out today, haha. I can never go to the gym Saturdays because I work(8am) before it opens(12pm) and get home(7pm) after it closes(6pm). BUT I did tan after work for 15 minutes. I even got myself my first tan line in about 2 years, haha. I'm gonna be lean and tan. Bring on spring break baby! Ok, not really since it'll probably be in the 50's still. I hate Texas weather. I'm going to Houston next weekend for a wedding with my parents, I can't wait. I haven't been down there since 7th grade I think. I bet I'll be getting some jewelry out of it too since my parent's friends own a jewelry store. My mom can't resist a jewelry store so when I see something I like.. SCORE! haha. For Gerald's wedding I even got some real pearls from my mom to go with my dress. I'm going to just wear all that to this wedding. They are SO pretty. I don't think my mom realized how happy she made me by giving them to me. There's just something so classic about pearls.
Anyways, it's time for sleep. It's been a boring few days, I'll check back when something exciting goes down. :) Night.

11:02am..
Damn it's been one boring as hell week. Monday I didn't even get to work out because I thought I'd be going later that night. Damn ice. After lab I went over to Alan's instead of the gym because I figured I hadn't seen him in a while and I should see what he's up to. No big surprise there, haha. That bastard. So as I was leaving his apartment I realized I couldn't go anywhere for the rest of the night because it was icing up bad! Then the activities building was closed Tuesday and Wednesday so no working out then either! AHH! It's knocking me off my momentum! haha. I went up to school this morning at 6am to finally get some time in and it still wasn't open! If campus is open then why isn't the activities building open?? I blame in on the Indians that run that place. They probably were too lazy to get out of bed!! GRR! Anyways, went to Polsci today finally and found out I had a terrible grade. I will be going there from now on to make up for that terrible grade, haha. After class I let Chunyi take me out to breakfast. NO it wasn't a date. Just a free meal :D And afterall, he is still my best friend. I could trust that guy with my life even though he may be the biggest clutz I know.
Anyways, I've been stuck at home for the past few days with my parents. They stayed home and closed shop too. Thank God I made it through that. On Sunday after I wrote that entry below I ran 5 miles. I love me some motivation, haha. I even did the last 2 miles at an incline of 8. Bee says it's bad to increase so quickly so I'm never doing that anytime soon again but it was a good release.
Gerald needs to give me an update here, honeymoon shmoneymoon update already! If I couldn't be there at least give me some details! Weird, he's married.
Well anyways, for people that have been asking(or are too afraid to ask), no that date down there wasn't someone I liked like a guy or anything. It was someone that used to be more special than that. I really don't know why I keep attracting relationships with people that aren't good for me. Or maybe I'm just too good to other people and I need to stand up more.
I've been talking to an old friend a bit about all this crap, about everything. He doesn't realize it but he makes me think a lot, in good ways instead of my normal pessimistic ways. We only talk once in a while but when we talk I feel alright about saying whatever comes to my mind no matter how little of importance it is. Some people just know that sometimes those things can get to someone the most, ya know? And when we talk I get more input and output with him than I ever do from anyone else I talk to on a regular basis. Even though we're not close I still appreciate him for his ears and for having the right things to say, well sometimes haha. I never know how to console people. My mind works so narrow. Thanks a lot bud. I would leave like a little nickname or a codename or something to thank you but there's nothing about your name that wouldn't give it away. Thanks for being real man.

10:25am..
You know, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, shit happens. I must be one unlucky motherfucker this week or something. I should just sit my ass home so nothing will happen to me anymore. BLAH. Last night, as I was headed to Jon's house by myself I got pulled over by a cop for fucking speeding. The fucking ridiculous thing is that it was on Green Oaks by CiCi's, the place where all them gay fags race at every weekend. Can you fucking believe that shit? Cops have to be the dumbest shits I've ever seen. They DON'T notice when 20 loud and busted cars are lined up in a row headed to ONE particular spot, but they notice me going a little fast on the street in my SEDAN 1/4 of a mile away. God damnit, what did I do recently to be fucked over so badly now? I can't think of a fucking thing, unless having a fag for a boyfriend counts.
Anyways, I was looking totally forward to the wedding(I'm so sorry Gerald). :(
There I was all dressed up and applying makeup you know? My date had told me earlier in the week they had a wedding beforehand but it started at 4pm so it wasn't any trouble. I asked many times during the week if they were going still and they said they didn't know because their dad** really wanted them to be there. I even asked if they were going to eat there and they said probably not. Later on, I found out they had a friend invited to their other wedding, adding to the reasons they wanted to go, no big deal right? We were still going to Gerald's together. THEN, yesterday I called them like 4 times to check what time they would be done so we could meet up and they kept telling me they didn't know. So they just ended up telling me to call them when I was about to leave work because that takes an hour. I told them it'd be around 6pm so I thought everything was set. I called around 5:50 to see where they were and if they were almost done and know what I got? They told me they weren't even READY for the FIRST wedding, They had just gotten back from WATCHING some basketball tournament. SO, I asked how long they were gonna stay there. Know what they told me? They told me they didn't know and they were going to go with the flow. SO AGAIN, I asked if they were going to eat there because it sounded damn well like they were going to eat there and they said, 'probably so.' WTF? What kind of date is THAT. They were going with friends to another wedding that their dad supposedly wants them to go to and were probably going to be done eating by freaking 9.
When I asked you to go with me to the wedding, I didn't mean go 3 hours late and not even eat. What do we do at wedding? We eat, watch, and smile. So, I called them back after hearing all that crap and told them I didn't even want to go anymore, who wants to go three hours late to their friend's wedding and not even eat or see any of the activities they do? I mean if you weren't going to go with me, I mean REALLY go, why did you tell me you would? You could have at least told me earlier so I would find someone ELSE that was invited so I could ask them to go with me instead. I was so freaking bummed. We drove all the way to Macy's at the Galleria TWICE so I could get this dress. Know what's fucking funny? They encouraged me to get this dress even. And I even got me new pretty shoes, dress sandals that cost 80 BUCKS. Who the hell picks dress sandals that are 80 dollars? A person that is ready to look VERY pretty, haha. I even paid to get my hair did(not up just styled pretty). No, haircuts or whatever are NOT free at our salon, the stylists lease from us they don't work for us, bummer haha.
PLUS, I wasn't even sure if I was going to go after Thursday because of my fucking accident that is going to cost me $380 plus my tickets are another 150 at least. I wasn't sure about spending money on the dress and giving out money at the wedding. But you know what I thought? I thought well hell, how often does a friend of mine get married? Uh, NEVER.
Ugh, I couldn't believe what was happening. So, I went home sad and upset from work. I hung out with Chunyi for a bit and couldn't stand him anymore so I called them(my ex-date) around 8:00pm cause I figured that's the time they would be moving along to Gerald's wedding. I told myself I should stop being so immature and just go with them. Know what I heard now? They said they weren't even gonna go anymore since I wasn't going anymore. I WANTED to say, 'NO, NO, the only reason I wanted to go to Gerald's wedding is because YOU told me you were going so I figured I'd have a good time with YOU.' I wasn't even going to go in the first place!! I was totally shocked, I thought Gerald's wedding was the big one. You know what I mean by big one, the more important one since it was our friend. So I was like well let's just go now then(I figured we could still have a good time), and they told me they couldn't because they had already told their friends that they were staying at the first wedding. Talk about placing values on each friend. I could not go to this wedding alone, I knew NOBODY. I heard it was a lot of the bride's family and friends so I wouldn't know what to do. I didn't want to go in there and sit by myself or anything.
**When I came home(yes I went HOME), I saw their sibling online and was like what the fuck? I asked them why they didn't go because I thought they had to. They were like, "No, our dad said we didn't have to, he said there was nothing to do there anyways." Totally crushed me. So there was no dad telling them to go, it was only that another friend was invited to that the first one and NOT the second one that mde them not want to go.. I mean, HELLO, just tell me. Anyways, their actions were totally unecessary and immature.
So yep, I stayed home and had the crappiest evening ever. I TRIED going out after that phone call, I was going to go to my friend's birthday party in fort worth but I got PULLED OVER, like I said. That just totally pushed my night officially into HELL.
Don't ask me why I didn't tell you all of this because I just didn't want to be a bitch. I'm not good with dealing with my emoitions directly to people and I figured you would know that. Anyways, what kind of a friend would stop someone from doing what they want to do, you know? I'm not like that. So I just kept to myself. I think you knew what you were doing so I just let you do your thing.
I'm tired of this crap, I'm going to shower and wash off last night.

4:09pm..
So I'm going to Gerald's wedding. Not only that I'm going with the date of my dreams, An :) I found this dress that's so cute. But I'm not sure if it's too dressy. It's not formal. It's fun and appropriate but it's just made of black satin, and we all know how dressy black satin is. Decisions, decisions, I live such a hard life. :P Earlier this week a girl scout came by and I had to choose what kind of cookies I wanted. Mmm, I couldn't pick so I got two(shutup) a peanut butter sandwich one and the mint ones of course.
Anyways, so yea I decided to do something with my 'baby fat.' I've been doing better than I've ever been so hopefully I'll keep it up. The hardest part is dragging myself to the gym 'cause I'm so friggin lazy to drive, but once I get there though it's easy for me to run and all that. It feels a bit good :)
Hmm, what's been going on? I've had three exams in a row, yikes. Monday was Phys, Tuesday Pols, and today was Blaw. I think I did pretty well on all three, let's pray.
My mom told me to go looking for new sheets and pillow covers because we have guests staying over in about three weeks. They're going to a family wedding of ours and then the week after they invited my parents to go to their daughter's wedding. Well apparently they're rich and have a jewelry store in Houston. I told my moms I wanted to go, my dad seemed happy about it. AND I remember that they have three boys in their family ;) Well, my dad told me a long time ago they were linked because my dad had a fish/seafood market in Houston with him but later on my dad sold it all to the other guy. Well, obviously that was a HUGE mistake, haha. But it's ok, my dad did well :) I'm excited, so far FOUR weddings this year. Last year I think there was only one. I love weddings :)
OMG I forgot! I GOT A TICKET TODAY! TWO OF THEM!! :( I was so bummed! I was truly sad. I think the cop felt sorry for me, haha. I should have ran, NOT(I'm not as retarded as this one idiot, teehee). I was about to tell him I was hurrying 'cause I promised my grandma to take her to visit my aunt around 11 but that sounds so lame(even though it was true!) haha. I live an exciting life. All I told him was that I didn't realize how fast I was going. Stupid, stupid! The other was for my registration, or was it inspection? I think it was inspection, the purple one! No one told me! How am I supposed to know what to do?? Darn parents didn't tell me and neither did Chunyi, ugh. Anyways, it was by An's store. You know by Sonic on Cooper where the curve is and the speed limit is ONLY 35! There was no one on the road but me so I didn't feel like I was speeding at all. I was lasered at going 54 in a 35. Crap on me :( Oh well, hopefully this lawyer thing works.
I've been downloading Sex and the City again. Episodes from season 4 and 5 are mostly out now. I still love it :) and I LOVE the clothes. I wish there was a place I could actually afford to look like that. $400 for shoes? I don't think so.
I better go, I have to get my workout clothes ready so I can go after bible school. My name is Thu Nguyen and I'm a 19 year old still in bible school. :(
Beat this update Bee. OooOOooooo :D

11:50pm..
Yea, yea, I'm home early on Valentine's. Screw you! haha Nah, I need sleep. I have to work tomorrow at 8am. bleh. Let's get to it.
Last night(Thursday) I took An out to eat at Piranha's for her birthday because we've been talking about going there forever. Alan was working so it was double fun :) The food was good, like always. I got her this cute pot of daisies for Valentine's and a shirt I thought she'd look really good in from BR for her birthday. Happy 19th baby! After that we went to Willowbend to do what we girls do best, shop. She got a cute shirt for Jeff from Diesel. I thought maybe, just maybe I'd see something Chunyi would wear but no. It's hard getting him stuff he likes that doesn't have to do with his car, haha. I realized there comes a point when a girl knows TOO much about guy things. Like going into Autozone and Sears looking for things other than cleaning products and not needing help :P Anyways, yea Willowbend was fun too. I'm so glad I have someone like An in my life. She's perfect for me :D Things started rolling again very good for us and I hope so much that it keeps up this time. So yea, Thursday was one of the best days I've had in a long while.
Today ended up being a pretty cute day. Chunyi studied all damn day for his EXAM he had tonight from 7-9. How gay is that? His professor said it was because the dean of the engineering dept. is Indian and has no clue about Valentine's. What's funny is Chunyi's professor is a white guy and he said he was in trouble with his wife, haha. For dinner we went to that new place in Arlington called Rockfish. We ate so late, like around 10:30 but that food was GOOD. Mmm, I recommend! Guess what I got from Chunyi? A love fern, HAHA(must see How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days to get it). After our meal I went into the bathroom to wash my hands and a mexican guy FOLLOWED ME in there. He must have thought the bathrooms were unisex. Good thing I was only washing my hands. I whispered to a worker in there and asked her if they were unisex bathrooms because I did see a separate men's room and she said no. Funny thing is, she was a girl I went to junior high and high school with named Rhonda Elerson. I remember her because we both bought the same shoes a couple times because we had small feet. We used to buy Nike's from the little boys' sections because it was cheaper, haha. Well anyways, she got scared too and left the bathroom with me, haha. So now it's 12:12 and I HAVE to get some sleep. Night all :) Happy VDay! <3
Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2003..
1:14pm..
Let's start with Monday. I went to classes and lab then went to meet Alan up because we were going to go to Dallas to go shopping. When I got to Alan in the poolhall he tells me his keys and phone were stolen :( And the sad part is it wasn't his phone even, it was his roommate's. He had borrowed it and just stuck his sim card in. Whoever stole it even listened to his messages!. So our trip was ruined. So we waited until Chunyi got out of class to take us home because he had driven me to my lab, but then Alan didn't want to ride with Chunyi GRRR. So I went home with him and Alan stayed in the poolhall and told me he would find a ride home. He ends up calling me around 7-8 to pick him up again. I hate driving my car, I already told him too. The wheel kind of got messed up again :( So anyways, I pick him up and we go to his place to tell his roomie what happened. Then we go eat because he had a bad day and decided to go to this place called Mr. Max's. It was this tiny cute little Japanese place in Irving. I didn't like the food too much because it was WAY traditional Jap food. I ended up going home too late and was so cranky the next morning. Ohh yea and I got kitty a little pink shirt from Petsmart that says Princess on it. I thought I'd have trouble getting it on her but she slipped it right on that little brat, haha.
On Tuesday, I dropped Chunyi off at school and skipped my 8am class to pick up Alan and drop him off at work because he still didn't have his keys. I was in a bad mood because Chunyi was being.. well, Chunyi, haha. So after that I went home and slept for 3 hours until 2:30 and just bummed around and watched tv. Around 5 I went running with Kitty(it ended up being a 1/2 run 1/2 walk). Let me explain- Kitty is NOT a very good jogging dog, haha. She wore me out right away. She's still kind of a puppy so if she sees you running any little bit she guns it as fast as she can dragging you along. It's cute though :) After that I went home and showered for Finance to find out my grade :( I only made a 77 on my exam, boohoo. I always end up reading the hard questions really carefully and overlook the easy looking ones. 1 down 3 more to go. After that Chunyi took my to ice cream to cheer me up eventhough I kept saying I wasn't worthy(but who can resist Baskin Robbins?) :D
Today I went to class and there was a sub. At least the professor is actually giving us a sub now instead of no one showing up. He's missed class 5 times so far and we've only been in session for what, 3 weeks now? The sub. said he's been doing research that NASA has been sending them. Still man, he's ripping the government off cause they paid good money for me to get my education, haha. I went to the Parks Mall for a bit after class to look around. I'm hoping I get to go to Hulen for a little later on today before bible class. I hate confirmation class, it's so inconvenient. Now I know why they encourage us kids to do it when we're still in high school. I'm too busy for it these days. Especially when I have exams to study for and crap. I even had to go to bible class on my winter break from school for 2 extra weeks. How gay is that? And they only allow us to skip no more than 5 times. Or is it 4? I don't know, I just know I shouldn't risk anymore absences, haha. And get this, my gradnma picked my sponsor. She had been stressing about it for a while, haha. I guess it's a big deal, none of us think it ever is. I think most kids just pick their friends or cousins to do it. My grandma's so cute. :)

9:28am..
Don't you hate it when you can't sleep late on weekends? I'm talking about when your body just can't sleep anymore and your eyes start tearing up so it's impossible to roll over and sleep more even though you have nothing to do for once. Yea well, I do. And to my guestbook uhh guest, haha, HELLO 'So you a wanksta.' Someone isn't a fan of 50 Cent. Why are all these people telling me what I can or can't say? Isn't it my name at the top of this page? I think so, wanksta! haha, just kidding :D
Went to work yesterday. Ahhh yes, I love working 10 hour days. Plus the 3 extra at chinese afterwards. After working at the salon something happened that got me down. I guess that's just how it is nowadays. I should expect shit like that to happen. I know, I know, I'll keep my head up. My life is plenty full right? Right. At least my baby saved the day, him and his stinky self, haha :)
I practiced my manual driving again last night. Not too shabby. He even let me downshift and do some zooming. I think it's hilarious when he races domestics and they call his car a quick little thing, HAHA. Well yea compared to your 4,000 pound MONSTER. God damn how do American cars have so much bang for their bucks?? They're so much fucking cheaper with twice the horsepower! But it's ok, they still get whooped, hehe :D
Anyways, I hope you had a good time at your birthday party An. I'll see you sometime this week and if you can't it's ok. I'll just drop it off or something kay? kay :) And I hope you got shitfaced drunk and slapped some ass at your bachelor party Gerald! :D
So, from now on I'm giving myself a reward each week if I've put in at least 2 hours studying in per day. Trust me, that's a hell of a lot for me. If I do more, I get more(but I highly doubt that). The deal is if I do that I get to but one piece of clothing. Anything from jackets to shoes, woohoo. I have a problem: I hate shopping. I never know what to buy! Once I started making money and all that, I just stopped wanting things as much as I used to. It's stupid because now I'm badly in need of new clothes compard to before when I had too much and just bought crap. I think this way I'll build my wardrobe up more carefully and easily. This week I want a nice jacket. I saw a cute herringbone one somewhere, hmm I'll have to start looking now to be ready at the end of the week, haha.
I had a dream last night that my hair was as long as it used to be. I'm a freak. A freak that misses her long ass hair :( haha. Oh well, it's getting there right? It's about three inches longer than the bottom of my neck. My last birthday I had this bright idea to chop it all off as a step towards healthy hair when I should have just cut it slowly off like a normal girl would.
OMG that reminds me, the lady that cut my hair at our salon is named Toshi. She's a japanese woman that's right now paired with a white man that's about 15 years older than her. Kind of scary since she's 60 something. She is by far the oldest one at our salon. But she is SO healthy. And all of her hair is almost black(not dyed). And she wears the cutest clothes(mainly because she's rich and has the money to). When I'm an old lady I want to dress like her in cardigans, shorts with sweaters tied around my neck, and her cute ass cowboy boots. I hate cowboy boots but hers actually look good. She got them to start her horseback riding lessons(isn't that adorable??). And she just got back last week from her trip to Antartica for a month. Unbelievable life she lives. She took some of the prettiest pictures I've ever seen of glaciers and icebergs. I can't believe she was actually there. And she took some of whales, and TONS of penguins(imagine an outdoor concert, like.. Woodstock, but only with PENGUINS!). She got right up next to them and sea lions sunbathing while laying ON ICE, haha. That just looked weird to me. You know, laying on ICE while warming up to the SUN. haha? ok, no. It was amazing how they all were so civilized and just hanging out together. So anyways, Toshi has been all over the world. Last year she went to Africa on safari. She makes me want to be old already, haha. And then 2+ nights a week she goes to pottery classes at a local college. We got a bowl from her last year that she made. What's really cute is that her partner/boyfriend got her one of those spinning machines for potters so she would stay home more because he missed her when she went to her classes and practice. Of course he didn't know what to buy so he just gave her a check for 2,500 to buy one. TOO sweet.
I think I'm done. I'm going to go read some magazines I stole from the salon. 'People' is the shit.

5:35pm..
I just got back from taking my grandma to the store and all that. I love my grandmas they're so cute :) Anyways, I'm updating because Bee is quite the nagger. I'm beginning to think he was my mother in my former lifetime. I'm also beginning to think that I talk to Bee too much, haha. Just kidding beeman. I'm about to go deliver me some chinese food. Cause I'm a cool gf like that :D
I had my first FINA 3313 test today. I'm pretty sure I made at least a low B. Go me. But then, I come home and my brother is like (in his asshole way), "I bet you 20 bucks I made a better grade than you on our exam." WTF? WHO CARES! He doesn't even go. He gets all of his notes and cheat sheets from his girlfriend because she took the same teacher. But it's ok. I made a pretty damn good cheat sheet, I printed it out with extra small letters, haha. So you a wanksta.
Tonight I get to go see How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. Super chick flick. But like I said, "I get what I want." *pounding motion* haha I'll write more later, I won't be sleeping much tonight because of my 2 hour super nap I took around 2 :)
Sunday, February 2, 2003..
8:30pm..
I dropped my camera. TWICE. It kept getting lost in my hands, haha. That sounds gay but it's true. I've been carrying a lot everywhere I go lately and it just slips out. God damnit. So I returned it. Thank God for Fry's. They don't check jack shit on returns. She didn't even check if everything was still in the box. I could have taken everything out and returned the damn box. All she did really was check if the camera was there and flipped through the manual, what the hell did she do that for? Just in case I tore out some pages? haha
AND HEY, I may not update much but when I finally do I make up for it right? Right. Shut your pie holes. :D
I'm sorry An. :( I totally forgot about your new years thing. Work was so tiring and THEN when I got back I had to shower and dress for Chunyi's boss's party. OMG what is wrong with chinese people. We ate DINNER at 12am. I could barely lift food into my mouth I was so tired. I fell asleep on the way home with my mouth open snoring, haha, a FEMININE SNORE. No, really! :) Anyways, it wasn't much of a new years for me. Didn't see much family, didn't get LI XIed as much as I should have. Regan you can send mine through the mail, thank you. It was pretty boring at the party, just a bunch of chinese people talking about me in front of my face the whole time, haha. But there were these cute little kids and I could tell they were spoiled as hell. The little boy was chubby with is head shaved, too cute. And then there was a little girl with coke bottles for glasses that sat LITERALLY less than one foot from the screen PLUS she leaned forward. God damn her mom needs to watch that girl before she goes blind! And I ended up with a cold/allergies/flu AGAIN. Someone shoot me. When I go outside my nose starts going crazy and wont' stop running and sneezing, and when I'm inside my nose stops and my body gets so damn sore and achy. I hate it I hate it!
Something else big happened but I'm smart enough NOT to write it in here since my families are like ants crawling around everywhere, haha. JOKE, JOKE! Just ask me ;)
umm, I think I'll come back later.. phone call :)
Monday, January 28, 2002.. What's all of this blah blah I used to write?
somewhere around.. 1pm..
haha well, I guess it's coming back! Enjoy :)
9:28pm..
did you see? I wrote 2002 up there, haha. Ok, well today was really lame. Went to pick up a Rio for Chunyi's boss in the morning. Those aren't that bad for $7,600(out the door price) if you get the right color. Dirt cheap for a car with that big a warranty(same as hyundai). Well, then I came home and had my mom call me to do something for her by asking me THREE CONSECUTIVE times and having me say O.K. THREE CONSECUTIVE times. A little irritating, just a little. But as Bee said, it can't be that bad unless she asked me to donate an organ or something.
Anyhoot, you see that old picture of Kitty over there? She's blown up since then. That girl doesn't know how to keep her figure at all. I guess she learns form her mama, haha. And instead of her collar hanging off of her like it does in the picture she barely fits it now. I'll take pictures soon, hopefully, I miss her :(
Hey look at my last entry, JCrew flip flops are back! And I'm going to stock up on all the pretty colors, yippee. And hopefully, I'll get myself a nice credit card soon so I can zoom zoom through the malls without worries finally :D Saving pays off!
Hmm, what have I been up to... nothing really. My classes look like they're going to kill me this semester. I have no fucking idea why I chose finance as my major. I figured it was going to have a lot to do with percentages and investmenst and blah blah bs like that. But I get to class and all thse fucking functions I never even knew existed. And to top that off, I have to get a finance calculator. I mean, last semester I had to get a $140 Cal calculator and now this semester I have to get a $92 finance calculator? IT's not my money but still, they're ripping the shit out of my parents!
Do you know what song is pretty catchy? Bowling For Soup - Girl All the Bad Guys Want. Anytime you hear it on the radio and see me in a car I'll be belting that shit out. Well, lately I belt anything out. Tell me, I'm not alone in the fact that I know almost every single song out there being played on FM radio am I? I'd say 95%. Loser I am.
Ooo one thing that happened during my 5 month hiatus was my grandma moved out and then back in with us. She cut her hair short. It's so cute! It's like a layered flipped out short bob. SO cute! What's really sweet is she was scared I wasn't going to like it. And she told me she was worried about seeing me because of what I might say. She had asked me like a week or two before she had gotten it cut if she should do it and I told her when I visited(when she lived with my uncle) that she shouldn't because it wouldn't look right. Because come on, howmany old vietnamese ladies out there DON'T have 3 feet of hair wrapped in a bun. I thought she was going to cut it realllllly short and then perm it, like most old ladies do when they cut it shorter. But I was excited when I saw it :)
Last night I went to downtown Fort Worth with Alan and it was so pretty! We went to eat and ending up going to a seafood place called Daddy Jack's. My lord one meal fed us both and some! We split a meal since we got soups and appetizer too and the meal came in bigger portions than a meal at a regular place gave! I mean it was so huge that out of my half I only ate 1/3 of it. But it was sooo good. It was like, linguine with mussels, clams, and 2 lobster tails. Yumm. And the clam chowder had really good BIG clam chunks in it. I think I said too much.
Moving on, umm my mom just came in and asked me to paint her toes. It's new years this weekend you know, got to look sharp :P I didn't go back and edit my typos so excuse my fob language. I'll fix it later. Byebye :)
Sunday, August 18, 2002.. Part II :)
So I went to JCrew FINALLY and they didn't even have my size :( boohoo. After months of waiting to replace my flip flops, too! Oh wellm I'll just try to order them online then :P I just didn't want to go through the trouble of having to get Dien pay with his CC since I don't have any.
Anyways, today was pretty lame. Made banh bot loc with my grams and my dad. That's some goooood eatin'. And then I took the grams home and drove her and my aunt to the store. Got some free guavas out of it, MMMM guava, haha. Then, I was going to go play tennis because I only went those two times a couple weeks ago and never went again but I decided sitting on my butt at home would be better. What a lazy ass. High school starts tomorrow, I wish I could go too! haha, ok I'm gonna go dl a movie now. Byebye :) 10:22pm
Sunday, August 18, 2002.. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I JUST WROTE A HUGE ENTRY AND STUPID GEOCITIES RUINED IT! GOD DAMNIT TO HELL!
Everyone meet Kitty(look right), the SWEETEST dog in the world. Kitty, meet everyone :) She's the reason I haven't really been keeping up lately. Sorry folks, I just can't resist cute things. My total weakness. But now that she's gone for now and I can type all I want. Instead of cleaning up dog piss. 11:21am. Be back! :)
Wednesday, August 14, 2002.. All but one..
laundry - check
mopping - check
vacuum - check
make dinner - check
clean bathrooms - negative :(
Which meanssss: no flippy flops for me. I'm a woman of my word. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow. I even watered my mom's plants early this morning, only for it to rain tonight. It rained HARD. Made it so scary. My power kept going on and off. No one to keep me company ;)
Anyways, so we didn't eat bo chien bo. I made spaghetti, again. But this time it came out extra good(yes, extra becaues I make it good everytime, ha). Ok, well I'm tired of typing. Too much journaling makes me a grumpy girl. Time to finish watching 'Like Mike.' Bye :)
Tuesday, August 13, 2002.. tiredddd..
I never thought I'd say this, but I miss my ma. With her gone I am constantly worried about my dad. If he's hungry, lonely, or just plain bored. I have no idea what to cook for them. All I can make is American stuff and then the simple things. I think we're doing bo and tom chien bo tomorrow night. Mmmm so yummy and so easy! I have to ask my grams how much bo tai to buy at the market tomorrow though.
Things to do tomorrow morning before ANYTHING else:
get laundry started
sweep and mop floors & bathrooms
clean bathrooms
vacuum house
finish laundry
buy meat for dinner
Only then may I purchase me some flip flops as a reward..... from myself haha :)
My mom and I were talking the other night before she left about how Dien complains I never do anything, or even my mom. Can you believe that? She raised him. Inconsiderate bast. We started on the subject of the meals we eat at home. Everyone in the family can eat pretty much anything, it's just Dien. We always have to be sure to have a dish he can eat if he can't eat anything we're eating or cook it to his preference. We know very well he could eat anything if he tried, he just does not want to. He just wants to eat what he wants. And sometimes he has weird tastes on how food should be made, and I complained about it once and my mom just told me to be quiet since I can eat anything and he's hard about his food. I told her we should stop cooking according to his tastes, doing his laundry, and cleaning up after him. Translated from viet she literally said, 'Why? So the house can fall down?' I hope you get that because it's really funny. I'm so glad I'm at the age of where I can relate to my mom now, instead of rage against her. I can see how she can get so frustrated at times. Girls do have to yield to guys a lot(but only in the household, haha). And imagine doing it 30 years ago when she was my age. At the airport, when my mom and great uncle were leaving(her uncle) my mom was saying her goodbyes and giving me, Dien, and my dad really big hugs. And then when I looked over at my great uncle there were no hugs, smiles, or anything. I thought it was hilarious. My cousin just laughed when he saw my look. That used to be us too, haha. Gosh we rag on my mom a lot, but in a lot of ways she's the one that tries her hardest to keep us together. Always bothering us to stay home more often, reminding us of each other's birthdays(how sad, haha), trying to keep us from being angry with each other, and so much more.
The only, ONLY thing I hate about my parents is when Dien does something absolutely RUDE or just plain wrong, they tell me to just let it go. Do you realize how many times I've just let it go? KDFJS%$#&^ I wish I was just as fat and lazy as him, with a HUGE temper, and a tiny dick(ha), so he would have to just 'let go' of the INCONSIDERATE things I do too. Ok, I'm done venting, haha. We're not even mad at each other right now and I'm griping.
Anyhow, I went blowing last night, what funnnn :) Thanks for the good times. I don't think I can take many more coming home past 2 am's anymore. I was a wreck today. I napped everywhere I could, haha. I saw soooo many people from long ago when I used to hang out in crowds a lot. Wow it was good to see them, some of them, haha. Some people I just smiled at from a distance. I didn't want to go through the awkwardness of 'Heyyyy how you doing? What you been up to? Oh, that's cool. (insert nothing else to say here, with some looking around and around at the scenery trying to think of something cool to say)' You get the picture. So I just smiled. 'Hi' :) Sometimes I feel so weird that I just walk away after a little silence, haha. I'm such a freak! 10:40pm
Saturday, August 10, 2002.. oops! Sorry An
I was taking a bath when you IMed. Hi baby :)
Bleh I'm so out of it. No, I do not want to go clubbing. And no, I do not want to go drinking. Is there really nothing else we kids can do to keep ourselves amused these days? I guess not. Ugh. So boring. And to think, I used ot be so frustrated when I couldn't get out there to do those things. Funny how life changes. And so now, you can find me at home on my trendy new computer(ha) or sleeping.
Are you as excited as I am about the new jbwhip coming? I knew you would be.
Omg there's only two weeks left until school. I keep thinking I have a month left. I can't wait. Ok not really. I guess all this boredom really did make summer go by fast.
I'm worried about my mom going to Vietnam. I'm worried for my dad that is. He's going to be so lonely :( They've become so close this past year(not that they weren't before). But I mean realllly close. They joke around so much. It's so cute to see how happy they are. I remember 3 years ago when my brother Duc(28), my mom, and me went to Vietnam and we called this one time and my pop was sad. He told me he missed us and that he keeps waking up in the middle of the night to make coffee to drink and watch tv. How sweet is that? But sad :( My dad has such a big heart. A big FORGIVING heart :)
Know what talking about my family just made me think about? That gay rapist from my guestbook. I never talked bad about my parents. So that couldn't be the reason why they were raping me(ha). Only my brothers but that's understandable. Because you all know Dien(20), yes you do, haha. Grumpy, grumpy is what he is. And then there's Duc(28). VERY stern, very strict. So, I guess it must have been one of their gf's. Either that or Dien's friend. But I never thought he would have THAT good of friends to like him so much, haha. But if they knew him well, they would feel where I'm coming from. Because woo he can be an ASS to anyone. But I'm glad Dien's gf (chau) and Duc's gf (dung) stopped telling on me at least. You would think they would know better. None of their beeeeeswax. My life my business, right? Right. I don't tell anyone about their business, although I could(cause there's a lotttttttttttt of business, haha).
Ok, enough of that. Didn't mean for that paragraph to get so long, haha. Now you see why I don't journal often? I run out of things to say and ramble even more than I usually do. Have to go get some pants altered. Later folks. 1:17pm
