Yay! I always wanted to have a theme selection where any visitor can freely change to available theme other than my chosen default one, but I never really knew how to code it…so I never bothered. I still don’t know how to code, but thanks to WP Choose Your Theme plugin what I wanted is now available under the Extra Info header of the navigation section. Themes Rose version 3, Heavenly Bliss version 4, and Sweet Serenity version 5 are available for selection.

I really wished time would have just stopped tonight. Tonight was one of the most splendid night I ever had; a night that I don’t think I would ever forget. I am really really happy that you have asked me to go with you. You gave me opportunity of a lifetime… not only I get to do something I had wished, but I was able to spend some time with you. *Hugs* I’m sorry I didn’t express these words in front of you… Thank you, NotsoNoble for a night full of meanings and joy.

Sweet dreams,

Time surely goes by and when it does, I feel quite overwhelmed of my day to day life. So many things happened since the last time I posted anything … some indescribable, some sad moments, and some meaningful.  But I guess in the end, all those events that occurred are the events that make up my life and defines my existence in this world.

It is now 2011, this coming October I would be twenty-two years old. Yet given this fact, for the longest period in time since the new year I have felt myself to be lacking in many areas:

• Have not yet attained any requirements or walked towards my goal of being a Pharmacist
• Have not yet perceived my path of life
• Have not yet revived my grade point average to what I desire
• Have not yet expressed my feelings that I have held on for so long
• Have not yet been in any relationship with anyone
• Have not yet officially learned to cook

However, up until now the year seems to have been quite friendly with me and yet not so friendly, but the not so friendly part are the results of my decisions and actions so I can’t really much blame the year.

I have partially found my “path of life” or what I intend to do with my life, I want to become a Pharmacist or a Financial Aid Counselor. I don’t really know how to get there, but as the Secret states “you don’t need to worry about the how, just decide what you want in life, picture it, and you will attain what you desire.” As someone who is “experimenting” with the Secret, I have found myself to be quite a believer. My second career choice of being a Financial Aid Counselor was recently opened up to me; I was given one of the highest opportunity to held toward this path thanks to one of my newest supervisor and to the Secret. The only thing holding me back is of course my Business Accountancy degree and my other desire of being a Pharmacist. As for my first career choice, I have general ideas of what I need to achieve and where I want to attend, but unfortunately I don’t know if I am going anywhere on this path.

I have been feeling overwhelmed with school lately. The semester started out smoothly but unexpected things occurred unexpectedly, but of course events in life are expected to be unexpected majority of the time. Yet what occurred threw me off track. Out of no where I received a notification from Enrollment Service that I have now received 100% of my major requirements to graduate for Biology, therefore I should file to graduate as soon as possible. I was so freaked out, I was no where done with my biology major AND my business accountancy major; I had at least one semester of biology left and at least one to two years of business accountancy left. I was so afraid that I was going to get kicked out and ended up wasting four years of my life to leave without a degree…other than a Minor in Chemistry. Through the panic, I found out the reason why I received the notification despite not near completion; if taking into the consideration of all the business accounting classes I took, it made Enrollment Service thought that I have attained enough units to graduate with my biology degree. Thanks to working in the Office of Financial Aid, I have grown to know kinda and caring people around me, that was willing to help me. As a result, I don’t have to worry much about this issue since it has been resolved.

Yet, so far this year I have caused myself to have one sentimental feeling of disappointment…I was given the opportunity to spend time  with someone who I had wish I had a chance to do so, but I let the chance left me. If only I took the chance and took a couple of steps, I think I would have enjoyed my time that day without returning home with my family …feeling empty and indecisive. I … don’t want to feel this way anymore…I won’t let the opportunity to spend the time together fly away from me. As the Secret states, “if given the opportunity, take it and do not hesitate.”

Many other things occurred…yet I don’t really don’t have much words to describe it…but I do know that instead of saying “have not,” it would now become “I want and will.”

May Grandmother Vy rest in peace. May her body and soul be at ease. May she reunite with her loving husband that she had been separated for so long. May she be forever remembered and loved. Thank you for your kind soul. We shall forever miss you.

May Japan remain strong. May the world unite for a better cause. May Gackt, Yusuke, Yampi, and Shota be safe and sound.

May God bless us all.

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.

Co-worker: “What high school did you attend?”
Me: “Bolsa Grande High School.”
Co-worker: “YOU ARE LYING!”
Me: “No, I am not. o: Check my facebook!”
Co-worker: “I went there! How come I didn’t see you!?”
Me: “Seriously!?”
Co-worker: “Yes!”

And so we ended up finding out that we went to the same school. She is a year older so she graduated in 06, while I was a year after in 07. Such a small world. It was a nice conversation as we began talking about the days during high school and the teachers we took…
