"Never Alone" By Barlow Girl (Now Playing)

I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

What's up with me? I'm decorating my room (in New Orleans) with inspirational things like verses from the bible, 10 Simple ways to life your life, and the Footprints story. Also things like "Dance like no one is watching , sing like no one can hear you, and live like heaven is on earth". that's the nicest thing i found for my room so far. the theme is Inspirational. I'm doing my room so that when you wake up in the morning you read things like "with God all things are possible. (Mt. 19:26.)and You'll be inspried to wake up with a great feeling and a good start.

oh....I'm learning by heart some prayers in vietnamese that i forgot or didn't know, and bible scriptures too. My favorite: I Corithians 13:4-8. "love is patient love is kind....". I'm reading books and doing stuff here and there like playing pool, going bowling, and playng badmitton when my little sisters have time to go with me. I'm starting on the Harry potter books too. i know i'm late, but i'm reading so that my little sister can read it for school too. Also Hugs for etc., and Laughter from heaven. Since i'm taking my break, why not do things i usually don't have time for. Getting more spiritual and feed my soul. writing in my journal with 5 things i appreciate (got it from Oprah) and listening to christian songs in the car. My favorite: Never Alone by Barlow Girl. well, that's all i'm doing for now, until i get back home. I'm really counting down til i go back to my home sweet home!
Did i mention that i'm babysitting my niece katelyn?! yeah. she's so smart. she knows which feet to put in her shoes and change her own clothes. I have to actually stop her form doing it cuz she likes to change her clothes alot! even when she's not dirty or anything! she knows answers to things i ask about like: her age and where she live! she's only two years old! she knows how to match shapes, numbers, and alphabets in puzzle games. I'm starting to potty train her now with her mom too. She's growing so fast! i can't believe it! it's so exciting! i didn't know how much work and love goes into raising a child. It's real responsibility there. it makes me love my parents more. okay til next time my dears. van

HmMm... Making scapulas too. And Rosary bracelets from beads... so that's like beading... yeah.. making it for close family and maybe friends later on when i see them. I'm Bored. can't wait to get back to my life again... Soon...!! Huh?! I didn't go to confession this year for Easter, just didn't feel it. And maybe I'm just Not the same or whatever... But I think you can still go to it, at least Once a year, so that'll be like like Christmas Right?

Meningitis

Meningococcal disease outbreaks in Lafayatte!!

I'm in New Orleans today with my two little sisters to get shots for this disease. These shots are very limited in Lafayette. I, on the other hand, am not able to get the shot because I'm 21. Even if I'm willing to pay for it. This shot is now required for college students, so If you're 20 and under, go get the shot.


3 new meningitis cases raise fears
Former student dies, two more in hospital


Another Lafayette meningitis case reported

Nurses I talked to at a clinic said that this disease is spread in crowded places like college campuses usually by sharing cigarettes, sharing drinks, or kissing. I know I don't do these things to get infected, but I rather be safe than sorry. I'm living in Lafayette where three died and two infected. Those who do recover, may still suffer paralysis.

Title: None

Everything that happened in my past will only remind me of how much i changed.
Every moment of it was great,
And I need not regret any moment I had.
One day I will look back on this and smile....
Simply because I had something to write about.

Passage from Nicholas Spark's "The Notebook"

She leaned toward him. "Tell me, Noah, what do you remember most from the summer we spent together?"

"All of it."

"Aything in particular?"

"No," he said.

"You don't remember?"

He answered after a moment, quietly, seriously.

"No, it's not that. It's not what you're thinking. I was serious when I said 'all of it.' I can remember every moment we were together, and in each of them there was something wonderful. I can't really pick any one time that meant more than any other. The entire summer was perfect, the kind of summer everyone should have. How could I pick one moment over another?

"Poets often describe love as an emoition that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it was like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it."

Angels Among Us

There are people in your life that makes a big difference. Even though they do not play a big role in your life, but one little thing, as a favor, a kind word, a simple look or smile can make such a big difference. If god given me an angel on earth, because he knew I needed one, I hope that angel goes on and help others as he did for me. I don't want to be greedy with him. There might be other angels out there somewhere. Keep a smile on my face and all my worries just fades away. Sing me a song and my heart opens up. Look at me sincerely and I’ll trust you. Hold my hand and make me strong. Simply smile with me and I’ll be happy.

I try to smile truly once a day, at least once. katelyn makes me smile alot. If there's one thing I can count on, it's katelyn. Because I can stop a moment and smile at her, and she smiles back and I know that it's true. She’s so innocent like an angel. I know she truly loves me. I witness miracles from her every time I see her.

I’ve watched Oprah’s twentieth anniversary DVD. And there was a boy named Mattie. Even though I never met him before, but he made me believe that there is more to love than anyone can understand. He knows what Love is. He was love. He talked to Oprah over the phone during a sunset: "The sun is setting over here. It’s very beautiful with orange, yellow, purple, pink. And I'm sending it your way." awww, how cute is that?! That's love.

One Sunday morning, my sisters and I planned to go to New Orleans and we had to go to church early, and we saw the sunrise that day with yellow, purple, pinks, and orange. It was beautiful. We wanted to take a picture of it, but the camera couldn't capture it. Only the eyes of human can capture that kind of sight. I thought to myself. I’m glad to be alive to see this day. It was beautiful, and for an instant I felt Love. Maybe it was God that gave me that gift of love that morning, but that wasn't the end. By the end of the day, we drove back and the sun was setting. It was beautiful too. That day my dad gave me a new phone with a camera. And I took a picture of it. It’s not that beautiful as it looks through my eyes, but it was good enough. It’ll be a reminder for me, every time I look at my phone, I can appreciate every day that I’m living. Mattie passed away already at a very young age. But when I saw the sunrise that day, I know what he meant. He showed me the Love from god, that god had planned for me a long time ago, before I was even born. Oprah said Mattie was an angel, I think so too.
