Where Am I?

So if you're here to leave me a comment, You're such a sweetheart! and you're also in luck too because i'm updating here for those who really cares.

i know you all are wondering what's going on with me. Well, i'm back in New Orleans. For almost a month now. unpacked everything two days straight. went job hunting the day after. But decided to put that on hold. We wanted to do a vacation before we started work. So, for about a week i went to an early vacay to P-cola with my two little sisters. We wanted to beat the July 4th crowd and do something for thao-vi's graduation trip. Also to visit our cousins, (they couldn't attend the ceremony)we wanted to spend sometime with them. We're all growing up so fast you know. Uhh.. went to the beach two days back to back and got sun burnt. My skin isn't looking to good. It's kinda peeling. First day the water was so calm... we just floated out there. we stayed close together and started singing kiddie songs, i think we got people's attention when we were singing happy birthday really loud! BTW, Happy Birthday Stephen! Second day, waves was a little rough because of T.S. Alberto. we were literally catching some waves. I couldn't survive out there without a boogie board. That day was more fun, but the waves hit me real hard. So I just sunbathed the rest of the day. Third day we went shopping & bowling. Second day we watched movies all day and went out to eat at night. fourth day, we planned to go home but decided to stay back another day because Sean came down late. We went bowling again and played cards at night. fifth day, we went home.

After that week, my sister from Lafayette came down for father's day and we pig out and their two kids stayed with us in New Orleans for three more days. The big thing is... it's their frist time without their parents. They're only 5 and 2. i drove them back home to Lafayette and i stayed there for a day and went shopping. Lately, I've been working on my sister's wedding flower stuff and party favors. also, getting paperwork done to go back to UNO. My little sister is starting college, been helping her out here and there. But we recently bought some chinese movies and we're so addicted and been watching them everyday. I want to find a job, but i'm so picky. I want it to be easy and pays well. and no Food service, i had enough at Castnet. I don't want to work late at night either. New Orleans is a little dangerous right now -especially for girls. I read some articles about a gang called 13. they've been racking up crime rates in N.O. Eletricity cuts off often, i'm getting used to it. My cousins from Penn state is moving back home soon, and my family is going on a vacation trip for july 4th. Been busy with my family, you know i love them to death. Can't wait to reconnect with old friends again. If you haven't notice, i'm getting back to Xanga. I got a myspace too. i found long lost friends on there more than on here... pretty cool place. Uhh... that's about it. I could make this update more personal by writing about my feelings, but i've been writing so much in my journal... and there's no way i can type all that in here. But i'll try... In one phrase: I'm doing much better right now. a relief, a good one too. i think it's called gladness. *sigh -with a smile*

Back On Track

I'm slowly feeling like my life is coming back together again. My life was put on hold for a while. It seemed long at first, but it finally passed. Now, i'm back home and starting to feel the life I once had come back... And with a rush too. I'm getting happier and it's so exciting. It's a little overwhelming to me though. I was really depressed for a time and now that all these good things are happening to me left and right, it's making me feel So Blessed.
Sure, there are some things that are still missing, but I'm grateful of what i have right now. You know, sometimes you have those moments where you want it to last forever. i feel one. I don't want another hurricane did what it did to me a few months ago. I want my life, as it is right now.... Feel everything of "my life" and have this feeling last forever. I don't know what i'm talking about. All i can say is, I'm doing much better right now. a relief, a good one too. i think it's called gladness. *sigh -with a smile*
