How Sweet

You might not even know how sweet you are to me. Just the other day, after my first week of cardio, you made me very happy. You are the sweetest boyfriend a girl can ask for. I can’t believe you took my words seriously when I told you I was craving for something sweet that’s horribly/bad for me/but delicious, like ‘Godiva double chocolate cheesecake’ good to eat. I was surprised when you got me that Godiva chocolate bar, it’s not cake but it was so sweet!! Not chocolate sweet, but Liem sweet. That’s better than Godiva double chocolate cheesecake. You went to school with me, and just being with you at school, oh man, I just love it! I missed you so much when I started LSU. And now, every time I sit there and study, I think about you from time to time and just smile, you know?! I don’t feel too alone at school. And another thing, you offer me gas money if I needed it! LOL!! That was nice of you, and I know you don’t make that much money either. And you want to get a pepper spray thing for me too. WOW! I couldn’t believe all these things were coming from you that day. You’re starting to be a very good boyfriend. I’m starting to like you even more. You listened to me when I ask you to put the chair back. =) Hehe... that makes me smile. It was a great day with you, we went to Barnes & Noble’s and then school and after studying we went to eat at Zea’s and talked and listened to music the rest of the night. By the way, that Avant song wasn’t about another guy, it’s about me wanting you. Wanting you so much I don’t mind waiting until forever for you to kiss me. Although it should be the other way around, but it’s okay. You know what else is sweet?! You wanting to take me out every Friday and do this day over and over again. At the pace we’re going, you might just make your move and finally kiss me by our one year anniversary. Hopefully, if not, I’m going to break up with you!! Just kidding! I <3 you Liem. “How sweet it is to be loved by you.”

Dear Trinity, Yes, this includes the holy spirit too. I'm not always fair to you. but I've decided to pray to you too. First, thankyou for everything. my life, school, family, boyfriend, and just everything else in between. It's great. yeah, even the stress. Which is not so bad. I just have to keep working hard, please help me stay focused. I stayed after hours at school to study. and hopefully it will pay off tomorrow when i do my first quiz. I need to read physiology to keep up with the lectures. i have an exam next monday. I'm not used to studying so much liek this, I dont' even knwo I can actually do it. I bet I'm really behind and not realize it. I'm spending time doing these stuff. when i should be studying. just a few things i want to write down that i want to pray for. Chi diane, i hear she's making her vows next month. I pray that you holy spirit will be with her in celebration of her life dedicated to the church. also, for my sister Hong, that she have a safe and fun trip to hawaii. and also for her cysts in her ovaries to not complicate her having a baby. For hoa and anh hung, that their family come to mends. for anna to be accepted into delasalle. and hopefully my money problems will be solved. like my dentistry bill and my credit card bill and i think i just lost my discover card. hmmm... dont' knwo where i misplaced it. okay. i'll be back later to pray some more. please stay strong with us. amen.

I See Dead People

Yes, I see dead people. I'm currently studying anatomy with cadavers. For the past two days, I've been in the same room with a few cadavers. At first I thought I would faint or throw up. But it's not that bad at all. It's just like dissecting fetus pigs in high school, but in a bigger form. Yes, the smell is bad when I get really close to the insides of a cadaver, but I'll get use to it. I'll be done in a few months, and I won't remember the smell anymore. I haven't dissect my cadaver yet tough. I studied with specimens and other cadavers that was dissected already only. I've studied with a skull, real but perserved brain, and someone's head cut vertically in half. I felt underprepared about the things i'm supposed to locate on the specimens today, but I'll go back this weekend to find it and know where it is for sure!!! I'm excited about being in this program and all the access of things to study from! Real specimens!! Good ones too!!! I'm glad i'm in a good school. Thank you for those who donated or will donate their bodies for students like to me to study. I'll make good use of it!! please help me study!! =) I think I will donate my body too, Maybe.

is it just me?

i smell dead people. I think the smell is on me. i do smell like it, it's on my scrubs.. It's on me... all the time, even when i'm not in the lab. Is the smell on me?! i mean, i wash my clothes!! Why?! Why i keep on smelling it. Do you smell it in my car?! the new car scent is gone huh?! what away to go.... formaldehyde. I feel like everything smell like cadavers man. my house does, maybe just to me. not my family. I think it's in my nose or something. i'm getting too used to the smell. and i'm worried i smell like it.

The Real Meaning of Peace

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint
the best picture of Peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the
pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose
between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful
towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy
white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect
picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above
was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down
the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look
peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush
growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her
nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird
on her nest in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second
picture. Do you know why?

"Because," explained the king, "Peace does not mean to be in a place where
there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst
of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real
meaning of peace."
