I miss you dearly… I wish I told you how I feel, and I want to be with you. I wonder if you even think of me. I hate this empty feeling; I hate how my image of you is fading; I hate how I no longer feel the warmth of your hug and smile. Missing you and your embrace…

Yesterday during work, one of my co-worker randomly said “Hey Tuyen, you got fatter.” I blankly stared at her and said “Huh? I did?” She responded “Yeah. But that’s good! Thats good!” I stared at her again and said “No, no that’s not good! o:” She replied “No thats good; I like it.” And that was the end of our conversation. @_@; Oh dear me, I have gotten fatter. LOL. Well duh? It’s summer, I am being a lazy bum, and I sit and work all day. Who doesn’t gain pounds during the summer? It was just awkward that she had to pointed it out. =[ Oh oh, that’s so bad though… I got a wedding to attend next week…I’ll be darn if I don’t fit into that dress. o:

As I was driving on the freeway to work, there were motorcyclists as always driving pass by me, and I thought “I wish I could drive a motorcycle too! o:” Motorcycles are awesome and cool. The fact that it can be pretty dangerous is probably one of the reasons that stops me from demanding to have one. Also cars and motorcycles does not seem to fit well with each other. If I were to live in Vietnam for a year, I probably would be driving one since thats pretty much one of the best way to get around…being the fact that people in Vietnam rarely actually drive cars. Hah, “probably” to be exact since mom doesn’t like the idea of me driving amongst the motorcyle crowd (brought the idea up to mom that I should have my aunts and uncles teach me to ride a motorcycle ^-^;;).

Just think how much fun it would be though to ride the motorcycle endlessly throughout town with no bounds. Going from place to place looking at the sceneries of nature and feeling the gentle wind breezing by. O:

Vhroooom~ =]

Yesterday was a campus furlough so I didn’t have to go to work. Instead I spent my day with Rocky and Tiffany. It was one fun day.

After Rocky picked Tiffany up, he drove all the way down and picked me up and headed to Long Beach Aquarium where he volunteered. And since he was a volunteer, Rocky gave Tiffany and me free admissions ticket. Once inside we cruised through from one area to the next and gathering stamps as we went along. I have been to the aquarium many times before but it never felt like this. I came to realized that there were so many details I never really paid attention to…the colors and shapes of the fishes, etc. This time around was different, maybe it was because we took our time and instead of just rushing by. It was also a nice sight to see Tiffany with her mini art-book making sketches of the fishes that caught her attention.

During our stay there, Rocky asked me what my favorite fish was and I could really answer. Now if he was to ask me again, I can finally say seahorses, sea dragons, and jelly fishes! They are so awesome, especially the seahorse and sea dragons! There are so many kinds of them! Oceanic Seahorse, pot-bellied seahorse, leafy sea dragon, and weedy sea dragon! The most amazing sight was seeing the very very very tiny baby sea horses! Many of the baby seahorses held each others tails and dangled with each other, they look cute. I wish I had a camera to take pictures of them.

We had a late lunch/dinner at Chicken Dijon near AMC Long Beach. Tiffany bought their gyro meat sandwich and hummus with pita bread. Rocky brought their rotisserie chicken with sides. At first I was undecided since I ate before I went, but Tiffany’s gyro meat sandwich looks delicious so I ended buying one too. Their Mediterranean Fries are delicious, I should have bought some. As we sat down and ate, I realized that Rocky’s skin got darker from swimming class that he had during the previous semester. Once we were done, we left for the theater.

We were nearly 30-40 minutes early for the movie Splice, but it was all cool. The movie started out interesting. As biologist it was nice to seeing the two main character experiment with DNA splicing and creating new organism. There was lots of suspense and funny moments in the movie, but toward the middle to the end things got a little too weird for me; it was as if I was watching a sex movie. o: Overall, it was a good movie. The end left me question “who does that actually belong to?” I guess we will never know unless they come with a second movie.

Marc unfortunately was not able to watch the movie with us. Instead he waited at Barnes and Nobles until the movie ended to meet up with Tiffany. Marc looks different since I haven’t seen him for awhile, but looking cool as always. Seeing Marc and Tiffany together brings a warm smile to my face. =]

I haven’t been in Barnes and Nobles for such a long time. If Rocky didn’t have to go, I wouldn’t mind staying there for hours and being surrounded by all the books. ^-^ Books are awesome, they bring you into another world.

Thank you Rocky for picking me up and driving me home. =]

Heh, that was so random. Richy, you made my day. =]

The layout is currently too green for my mood and taste; guess I should be messing with my layout again since I’m on summer break.
