I met up with my dad today. Probably won't see him until after 2 months cause he's leaving for Vietnam tomorrow and I'll be attending my cousin's high school grad! Anyways, my dad brought out some OLD SCHOOL photos of my sister and I that he keeps around. It's funny because this is a side of my dad I never knew... it's like he secretly misses us. Wow... how interesting. Also, the fact that he STILL gloats about how my sister and I are in univ... bah. Back to my point, here are some photos from when I was (who knows how old, only my mom could tell) LOL. Don't laugh!


Me... and this shiny dress I used to have... yeah I did some weird cheek thing :P


This one's a bit embarrassing but I love how cute we both were! haha @ my sis (left)


My mom liked dressing us in sailor clothes... I wonder why. Haha ♥

There you have it. Embarrassing childhood photos. There's plenty more somewhere - my mom packed it all away in boxes :P lol

Recently I've figured that I need a new bag... I dunno if I want like a swingpack or like hand bag. I'm one of those people that feel like it's necessary to carry EVERYTHING. LOL. The usual: camera, cell phone, wallet/wristlet, mirror, hand cream, lip balm, random pens and paper, gum and whatnot so sometimes my bag is a huge mess T_T" Should probably find a bag that's like SMALL so I don't LOAD it. AHAHAHA XD

I can't believe that it's July already. Seriously. What the hell happened to June? It felt so short and pointless... kind of. Time flies. It really does. It's pretty depressing. A few things are coming up this month and I do quite look forward to them. I'm volunteering at this Vietnamese Association BBQ thing at this park near my house on the 4th, so that shall be interesting. Definitely will be seeing familiar faces from the VSAs and people I know. On the plus side: FREE FOOD! =) Then the following weekend is the VSA Joint Formal... hmmmm, what to wear? =P

Anddd that's probably all I can think of to write atm. I SHOULD really sleep early tonight *sigh* fix this damn sleeping pattern.

OH and PORTUGAL vs. SPAIN TODAY!!! I made a bet with Bradley... bj ftw! Oh you know what I'm referring too ;] bahahaha

49. dotdotdot (is that really saying something?)

He made a good point today...

If only life was like the game Monopoly, where you're handed fake money, characters to play with and the opportunity to bail out of jail with a simple "Get out of Jail" card. Sadly for us, reality doesn't work that way. Therefore we must work for what we want. Money isn't handed to you, it's hard earned. The person you are isn't decided and neither is your path (by rolling a dice). Man... I hate when I have to think about things. Back to my point, our houses, properties aren't easy to obtain and heck we don't even get $200 when we pass GO! (LOL that would be sweet). Can you tell where I'm getting at now? I wonder what kids assume/think when they play these games. Do they really think that life is as easy as rolling that dice?

48. When it's late and I'm bored...

...I watch porn. LOL jk! I bet guys do though.
Actually what I do is online *window* shop! It's rather fun.

Monday... someone special came down to see me! I won't tell you who that special someone is, so you're gonna have to figure it out on your own ;) but what I will say is that special someone is mine ^_^ and I couldn't be happier ♥ ♥ you're really something else kh! (You'll def hear more of this later *cheese*)

The other day I was downtown and I saw this girl wearing a dress that looked really cute... so now I'm going to go look for it! (terrible idea cause it could've been from anywhere but it's worth a try) =D


(Sort of the same idea, but in a form of a dress?) @ Forever 21


(Definitely cute also!)

Anyhow... it's like 3:57 am and I am freaking tired. I'll update this soon :) ♥

Til then, check out my tumblr! alwaysxo

47. Happy Father's Day

Random fact of the day:



Where to start...

I must say it's been a very interesting summer. (Still hate the fact that it's so hard to find a job!) Despite that, there's a lot of ups and downs... probably more ups :)

Before I get lost in thought and everything, I'll take this time to wish my dad (and perhaps my uncle and stepdad) a Happy Father's Day. Growing up I never really had a father to look up to... and especially cause I'm a girl I was more attached to my mom. I don't hate my dad or anything for what happened, I'm also too mature to throw tantrums at him too so for today I'll give him the benefit of still sticking around til this day, no matter shitty he is. My uncle has been somewhat of a father to me these past years and I thank him for that. As for my stepdad...well things used to be good and I used to appreciate him for the stuff he's done, so here's to you.

For the past 2 weeks my mom has been in Vietnam on vacation and I'm happy for her that she's finally able to go away and enjoy herself for a bit... but shit, my sis & I are dying slowly... LOL we're so used to having her cook and clean for us that now that she's gone we're left with all this responsibility! I'm not complaining but it's definitely a big change. Therefore what we do now is go grocery shopping ourselves and cook dinner whenever we are home... ahahaha :P Then my dad is leaving at the end of this month too... blargh :(

That aside, I've never been more excited/anxious about a Monday. The reason for that is because a special someone is taking his time to come all the way down to see me :) Let say a good 4-5 hour drive away :P I really have no words to express how grateful/loved I feel! Sometimes the best things can't be described in words huh? ♥ I definitely look forward to the beginning of the week! ^_^" It's going to be interesting :)

A few entries before this I had a list of movies that I wanted to watch/were recommended... and I took some time to download some movies, here's what I DEFINITELY recommend everyone watch just cause it's so EFFIN AWESOME! :D

- The Blind Side: real touching... definitely a motivational movie
- Date Night: fun to watch! Tina Fey & Steve Carrell make a good team
- 500 Days of Summer ♥ ♥ = LOVEEEE it
- GI Joe: Rise of The Cobra: good action scenes & Storm Shadow =)
- Ninja Assassin: asians make us proud! Go Rain!
- Hot Tub Time Machine: too funny!
- Valentine's Day: good twist to the old tradition!

And I've yet to see a few more... being bored does that to me, esp late nights. Haha.

46. I HATE anything Twilight... fyi.

But this was too funny to pass up!



...I know I haven't really posted a REAL entry so I'll definitely do that this weekend. But til then, enjoy these really retarded/cute/funny little photos! =)




I ususally don't get cake for my birthday anymore... if I did this would be one that I'd want! XD

45. It's starting to become clear

44. Relationship changes that all women HATE

**stolen off of JD**

When you first started dating her, you were always clean shaven, you smelled good and you were polite in her presence. But now that you’re in it for the long haul, you might feel that you can skip the razor and let the occasional fart loose in her presence.

Often, when a relationship becomes long term, you start to get lazy. You stop doing the little things for her that you used to do, and you start doing new things that you wouldn't have dared to do when you first met her. Many of these relationship changes are natural, but some are also highly aggravating to women.

Below are six of the most irritating changes that occur in long-term relationships -- changes so grave that they might make her reevaluate your entire relationship. As you become more comfortable with her, feel free to be at ease, but be mindful not to commit any of the following relationship sins.

- You get lax with your personal appearance
Why she hates it: Now that you’re in for the long run, you might feel that you can loosen up on some of the hygienic duties that you stuck to before. Sure, you can be more casual around her now that you’ve been together for a while, but don’t forget that looking good, smelling fresh and keeping in shape all help keep the attraction alive. If you stop taking care of yourself, she’ll assume that you don’t care what she thinks about you. This will make her feel like you don’t care about her anymore.

- You start “letting go” around her
Why she hates it: Most couples reach a level of comfort in a long-term relationship where they don’t hesitate to unleash the occasional fart or burp around each other. Although she probably doesn’t mind this type of intimacy occasionally, if you consistently subject her to your bodily functions, she will start to dislike it, and her attraction may start to wane. She will feel like you see her as one of your boys instead of someone who is special to you.

- You start forgetting big dates like birthdays and anniversaries
Why she hates it: You used to make a big deal for her birthday, and now you barely remember to call her. From her perspective, this lack of consideration shows her that you are progressively putting less effort into the relationship and taking her for granted. Remember that taking her out to celebrate is a big way to keep the romance going.

- You stop complimenting her
Why she hates it: Do you notice when she changes her hairstyle or when she gets a new dress? Well, tell her. If you stop giving her compliments, she’ll feel that you’ve stopped noticing her altogether. A woman needs a certain amount of attention and positive feedback from her man. If she’s not getting it from you, she may start to look elsewhere for that attention, so don’t forget to remind her how hot she is.

- You get temperamental
Why she hates it: If you constantly get irritable when you used to control your temper around her, she’ll have good reason to get annoyed. Consider her perspective: She entered the relationship with a seemingly even-tempered guy, but he turns out to be an impatient, bad-tempered stress case. How fair is that?

-You don’t compromise
Why she hates it: You used to be happy to spend time with her family, but now you’re not as willing. Or maybe you used to put up with seeing the occasional romantic comedy and now you only want to watch action flicks. If you used to make compromises, but now you’re completely inflexible, you might want to reconsider your change of behavior. Of all the relationship changes women hate, this is probably the most serious offense. Women tend to be compromising by nature, and if your girlfriend doesn’t see you reciprocating, you might get thrown out the door.

avoid relationship apathy
One of the benefits of a long-term relationship is that you can finally loosen up and stop trying to impress her, but be careful not to go to the other extreme. If you avoid most of the above relationship pitfalls, you can rest assured that she won’t run in the other direction the next time you let one rip.

43. quiz answers.

* I agree with everything EXCEPT the ones I comment on *

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them. [definitely do NOT agree]

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. [definitely do NOT agree]

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Teehee!

40. MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES!

One of my favourite lines from Finding Nemo :) ^^

The MTV Movie Awards 2010 was today, I hardly ever watch TV or any of these award shows anymore but I figured since I wasn't doing much today might as well see what's new.

I must say it never lacks humour, yet what really disappointed me was how the whole fucking show revolved around Twilight. Like, seriously? Really? It's so fucking disgusting to always hear of "team Jacob, or team Edward"! I have never once read Twilight or even seen any of their movies and I REFUSE to! It's so annoying to see/hear about Robert Pattinson *puke* :P

That aside, there are a lot of movies that I've yet to see so I'm gonna list a bunch of them and if you've seen it before let me know if it's worth the watch! :) (just leave a message in the 'tagboard' section) thanks~


- The Boondock Saints II (looking forward to this)
- Slumdog Millionaire
- District 9
- Ninja Assasin
- Gamer
- The Blind Side
- Men Who Stare at Goats
- Up in the Air
- Zombieland

And a few others that I don't remember :P

Random thought:

I actually think this is how I am... uh oh.

39. Quick rant... or whatever.

I really need to get out of this mindset sometimes... I always seem to think that everyone around me is lying to me. Maybe it's because I'm scared that they actually are. I can't change the way I think when it comes to the things people tell me. I find it so difficult to believe someone, no matter how important or not something is.
How can I see differently? *sighs*

Maybe, just maybe it's because of this wall I've built. Maybe it's perhaps the experiences I've come across or just the people I learn to trust and know - those who always end up disappointing me and telling me lies.

So negative... I should probably open my heart up more and just trust, but I've done that before, to the point where I've gotten hurt. Can you see the dilemma here?

On a less depressing note, I really enjoy roller blading I wonder why it never occurred to me to try it. I think it'll be the next best thing to riding a bike. I feel like blading when I'm happy, or even when I'm sad... just to feel the adrenaline or the rush of the wind against my face... or just pushing really hard to get up a hill. Hehe :) that'll be my goal this summer, to get better at blading! ♥

38. well ladeeda, look what i found...

A picture of my blog's name. Guess it is pretty common then... hmm.
