Calling Passed Up

so was I supposed to be a nun?

Sometimes I feel like I should of stayed in the convent and become a Nun, But I learned from So Dang that I belong where I am holy. I think the convent would make me holy, but This is where i belong, i feel at peace and more holier than I ever thought i ever would be, without the convent lifestyle. Sometimes people say that i have the qualities to be a wonderful nun, but i believe that i can make a bigger difference living in the real world. If a person approach a Nun they would not open up to me like they are opening up to me now. I could help them on a different angle than a actual nun would. Sometimes It's easier for people to talk to regular people like me about faith because a nun can't relate to us, Because we don't have time for prayer and christian work or being holy. I'm not saying Nuns have it easier being more holy than us, (Trust me -it's harder for them) but for us it's not easy either. It helps to know that other people like us can talk about god as much as a nun or priest can without being one. So, I beleive that I am meant to be the person I am today.

Oh Lord Help

Yeu Mai Ngan Nam: Lam Nhat Tien & Minh Tuyet

I pray to my dear lord that I will make it through college so that one day I can become a good dentist. If I majored in something like nursing or radiology, I'd probably be working by now or something better than still attending school. But I think about it again, And I feel that I'm doing the right thing, because I believe that I can do better than that. What if one day I look back and thought, If i'd stayed in school for higher education, I would probably be a doctor or something. So I don't want to have any regrets and go through all four years and college, (plus some more if I need it) so that i can be very Proud of myself and not having to look back and said "I should have Tried." I'm getting old and life is NOT getting easier. Dear lord guide me through the next two years of college so that I may accomplish my goal to get itno Dentistry schoool. Right now, I would love that to happen. But May your will be done, either way, just guide me on the right path, as long as i'm doing good in school, I'll be happy. Help me through the tough times and never let me forget what's important.Thanks for helping me get through school all this time. And the times i've lost faith, you still let me find a way back to you. I Love you Forever!!!

Edit: A prayer set at private then protected to close friends. I wrote this about a year ago.

Washed Car

I washed the van today. It smells really good now! Usually it smell like my work place. Like Bleach, Fish and Oil mixed all together or something like that. So, I bought Febreeze, the special formula for automobiles. It smells like a new car everytime I go in now. And the feeling with getting inside a new car is so..... amazing. So now, everytime I leave the car, I spray a couple of times. So that the next time, When I open the car door, the smell hits my face and makes me feel happy! I get inside and drive in a happy mood. and I really don't care if there's a slow driver in front of me and even if I'm late and stuck in traffic. LOL!!

Wow, this makes me want to have a new car. But I'm really statisfied with the van. It's my mom van really, but she lets me drive it since I can't drive the big Tundra everyday to school. So she takes it to work instead and let me have the van. Hehehe... I wonder if this year my brother would let me take his car to school. I wouldn't mind driving an G35 infiniti to school. Although it would be extra stressful to take good care of it. Nah, I'm gonna stick with the van. Crazy Huh?! Anyways, my dad did ask me if I wanted a new car, but I said that I can wait.until Hong gets married, because we have too much cars in the parking lot. Sometimes I hate wasting time reversing the cars to get out in the morning for school. Anyways, I'm trying to save up for a car. It'll take some time because I always spend it on things that comes up. My sisters said I'd look good in a Jetta. But I can careless what I drive. Just as long as It can go. What yal think I should Drive?

Flat Tire

Goodness Gracious!! My first experience of having a Flat Tire!!! It happened on my way home from work. The car swirved a little and I couldn't control it for about 3-5 seconds and I slowed down immediately. I didn't hear anything blow up so I just thought that the wind knocked me off my course a little and I couldn't control my speed or something. After I slowed down I got control of the car again and drove slowly home. I had to drive a friend home too! Her life and my life was at risk. My heart was beating so fast because that never happened to me before. Thank God we got home safely.

I didn't found out, until Wednesday morning, that it was actually a flat tire. So, my older sister, Hong, said that I had to get the spare tire and change it. I was like Freaked out because I didn't know how. She never done it herself either. She only looked at people who did it before. So, I stop freaking out and told Hong that I'd do whatever it takes to get it fixed. So we went to the car and got the spare tire out. That was easy. Taking out the wheels was a tough one. We had to stand on the wrenchy thingy and jump to make it loose by holding on the the rail on top of the van!!! Good thing I'm not a light girl, because I wouldn't be able to get the bolts loose. LOL! Then we got the jack and take turns turning it until the van was high enough to take out the flat tire. Then we slip on the spare and did the opposite with the big fat bolts. Wow! I couldn't believe we Did it! It was funny how my grandma came out and said that we couldn't change it and that she would go to our neighbors house to get a "Guy" to help. It took us about 15 minutes to figure it out and got it done. Hong siad that we were like tomboys. There was no need of a guy! We left to Sam's to get new tires before she got back with a guy. LOL! Anyways, I know how to change a flat tire now. I'm Proud of myself!

Closing Chapter

We are friends and always will be. I'm happy. I can close this chapter of my life and finally move on. It took me time and opening my heart to others to find out that I can live without him and not having him in my thoughts. I realized that me and him are different now compared to the past. He changed into a person that doesn't interest me anymore. It was a good idea to spend some time with him again to find that out. I thought he was 'The One'. *chuckles* So sad that I have a change of heart. From time to time I'm conditioned to say his name in my mind when I think about a boy, but there's no feeling anymore when I say it. It just surprised me, of how I lived my life with every thought of him taking over me. True it may still have some effects on me; however, there's no more pain or excitedness in it anymore. Strange to think that There's really nothing between me and him anymore, other than we are mutual friends. The thought of him doesn't influence me anymore. Sad to say, but it's like he's really nothing to my heart anymore. I mean I do still care for him, but as friends would to each other. If he have feelings for me and actually tells me, I don't think it will ever work, there's no more Hope for us. And I'm always forever grateful he was in my life.

Just The Girl

Click Five

She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems she's the one I'm after

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

She can't keep a secret for more than an hour
She runs on one hundred proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me, the more I adore her
What can I do - I'd do anything for her

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

And when she sees it me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up yet
Cause every word she's every said
Is still ringing in my head
Still ringing in my head

She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
Knows just what to say so my whole day is ruined

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

Feeding Frenzy

I don't think I'm getting skinnier, Because I ate alot during the weekend of July 4th. We began our BBQ/Vietnamese food Saturday night and ate all day Sunday. My sister came over from Lafayette and brought her kids too. Then went to Grand Casino and ate Dungeness Crabs. It was fun having my family eat out together like that. Last time it was in Lafayette at Ryan's Last year while running from Hurricane Ivan. Oh these Family Moments, I won't take them for granted. Anyways, we also got Chez Pierre's Chantilly (My Favorite Cake) and got even more Fat! Oh My God! We didn't actually did anything for July 4th because we just ate leftovers and sang karoke at my house. No fireworks this year. =( Anyways, I probably gained more weight to lose now.  I'm bored now. Hurrican Dennis Is coming. I think we'll evacuate sooner this time so we don't get stuck in traffic. For those who are leaving too, be safe! Oh yeah, for those who are thinking they can ride this one out and stay back, Don't you dare! Shoutout to my cousin Linda who went to Penn State right before the storms started to roll in!

The World's Shortest Personality Test

Princess Dream

A Princess Dream

I'm like The Little Mermaid,
Waiting for my fantasy Hunk
to release the voice inside
by a kiss he's too shy
to dare try.

I'm like Sleeping Beauty
Waiting for my Handsome Prince
to come and save me from loneliness
For heaven's sake
Just kiss me so I can be awake

I'm like Jasmine waiting for Aladdin
To steal me away
and show me a whole new world
and Genie's magic light sparks
into our desiring hearts.

I'm Like Cinderella
Waiting for Prince Charming
to take me out
and return home before midnight
And sweep me off my feet
with a kiss so sweet.

Home

In such a short period of time, things can change alot. Changing is a good thing and I feel like that's what's my family's going through. Everyone is growing older and it's harder to be together like we were before. Summertime gives my family a chance to take some time out for each other. Parents been so busy with making money that they forget about the people that they're doing it for. And the younger generation is busy with finding themselves with school and work that they take for granted the people in their lives. we all just need to go back home and spend some time with each other. I love my HOME. Home = Family, Friends, and alotta LOVE. That's what making me happy and smile alot right now. Just coming to the realization of "Here's my chance to absorb every moment of HOME" and not take what I have for granted. And that's right... it includes all my friends too!

Anyways, I'm really excited for my sister. She's getting engaged!! and I'm going to be a bride's maid for her wedding. I really want to look good and I'm thinking about losing weight. Although I'm happy with my body as it is (even though I'm not skinny) but looking good in a dress makes you feel much better. Last time I wore a dress was like my senior Prom. That's two years ago! I hope I can do it. I have more than a year to get skinny. That's enough time to get skinny right? Yeah, back to the changing thing; I just need some time to change, man! i want to get skinny fast! *doing jumping jacks* Did i lost any weight? lol..naw... it'll take hard work, but i think i can do it.
