well, today my little brothers really wanted to see the new terminator 3 movies so we went to the megastar theater at southdale mall. it was actually a pretty good movie... not as good as the first two, but the one-liners were funny and the special effects were great, but it wasn't very suspensful and there wasn't that much violence (yeah, i know i'm a chick but i love all that violence and gore stuff.)
anyways, after the movie, we walked around the mall and my mom bought me some cute sunglasses. in the middle of the mall, they had a minicooper on display that i checked out... it is such a cute car! i would really love to have one... i don't really like big cars like suv's or whatever. i actually am going to have to drive to school next because i'm having college classes for half the day and my mom says that i will have to use her green station wagon... yeah right. i asked my dad today if i could get my own car and he said that i would have to get my license first and started talking about what kind of car i should have, which is good news because there is a slim chance that he will be getting me a car. *crosses fingers*

today, i had plans for lunch with shaina, phoua and henry at the panda garden. well, we were sitting at a booth and there was this old asian guy with is friends who sat at a table near us. he started talking to us from his table about how he liked the buffet because there was a variety of foods and i'm thinkin that he was just tryin to be nice or whatever. but he kept talkin to me and one of the things that he said (in broken english) was 'you know when somebody likes you when they talk to you a lot and you know when they don't when they don't talk to you.' and i was sitting there smiling awkwardly glancing at my friends to see if they heard what he just said. and then from the corner of my eye, i noticed him staring and leering at me. i told henry that if that guy says anything to me, that i was going to pretend that he was my boyfriend. hell, that guy looked like he was the fucking age of my own dad (who is 55). blecch... what makes him think he could get his hands on a 16 year old girl. bleeecccchhh. we left quickly while he was up at the buffet.
yeah, after that, we then hung out at target for, like, 2 hours checking out practicully everything in the store and playing around, and then went to office max, and finally to mcdonald's where we bought ice cream. if it wasn't for that old freak in the buffet, it could've been a perfect day.
anyways, later in the day i went to see anger management at the cheap brookdale theater for $1. it was a *hilarious* movie... adam sandler and jack nicholson were soooo hilarious... i laughed so loud, especially at the part where adam sandler's lawyer refers to this blind man saying something like, 'and how do we know if this man is really blind' and he then throws a tennis ball that hit his head. great movie... i totally recommend it!

sorry for putting this up pretty late, but when i checked the site yesterday, it wasn't up yet.
1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
for now, i'm mostly at home watchin tv and goin on the computer, but sometimes i'm hanging out with my friends and watchin movies. in july/august me and my family are going on a car trip to washington d.c. and staying with my aunt for awhile. after the trip, i am going to try to find a job.
2. What was your first summer job?
never had a job... but i've done volunteer work
3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
i would love to visit vietnam or japan again
4. What was your worst vacation ever?
a few years ago, we were on a car trip to cali and when were driving through wyoming, my dad dozed off at the wheel causing us to crash into a sign and end up in ditch. we ended up camping in this small hicks town for a week and having to call the police because the mechanics weren't doing what they were suppose to be doing with our car. we then had to transfer to casper, wyoming and it turns out that our car is broke down for good. we ended up buying a crappier mini-van.
5. What was your best vacation ever?
it probably has to be when we volunteered for two weeks in china, teaching young students at bo'ai international school on speaking english. there were other american teachers there too who were pretty young ( in their 20s-30s) and were fun to hang out with.

superchick - get up |

well, my dad made an appointment for david banks studio for me this morning. i'm gonna get my yearbook picture taken next wednesday, but i don't think i will be buying them because they are extremely expensive... what is it, $200 for a regular package? *shrugs shoulders* the brochure for the studio only had prices for the session types... i really really want to get studio pictures taken though, but i'll probably end up having my dad take a pic of me in the backyard with a digital camera and then printing em out.
anyways, since i was going to get it taken, that means i hafta get a new outfit... or just a shirt really since the shot will only be from the shoulders up. so i went to brookdale and got a cute black sleevless chinese-y shirt with lavender flowers outline print and a slit. the only thing is that the neck is mandarin style and it's connected by a ball and a loop (you know what i'm talking about, right?) i bought it even tho that it takes me forever to button the neck together because the loop is too small. seriously, it took me 5 minutes to button em together and then 5 minutes to unbutton it. *sigh* it is such a really cute shirt though. what we women hafta do for fashion...

today henry and me went and hung out in maple grove the whole day which was really really fun. we first hung out at best buy and then ate at chipolte's (sp?) where i got a steak burrito and nachos. alicia than came to join us and we then walked through downtown maple grove (which is hella nice, btw) and then went inside petco, payless shoes, old navy and then cub where we bought some candy to sneak into the theater. we actually got to see 'charlie's angels: full throttle' which was a fun movie. afterwards, we went to best buy again and alicia has this thing with this particular greeter guy that works there where she gives him a rating on how good his greeting was. when we walked in, she said 'four' to him and me and henry just looked each other and started laughing. when we left, she said '7.5' and he looked kinda amused. yeah, weird. we then went back to the theater to wait for my dad to pick henry and me up. while waiting, i saw melody, this girl that i was friends with before she transferred to cooper for junior year. she had her boyfriend with her, kyle, who was really nice. then my dad came and picked us up. *sigh* i didn't get to see devin working at the theater tho... :(

i finally got that walkman md player that i wanted today when we went to target to buy my little brother the new harry potter book. it costed me $130 and hoepfully it will be worth it. i'm actually right now trying to import all of my songs into it... taking a while, but oh well.
anyways, after we went to target, we also went to the mall of america. i hate shopping with my mom... she is so picky and so, i dunno how to describe it... its just not fun when i go shopping with her. it doesn't matter anyways since i don't have any money anymore... i went into forever 21 and they have such the cutest clothes at really good prices, but it'll take weeks before i can get enough money to buy em.
on the way home, we passed through minneapolis and we saw this homeless man by the side of the road with the sign 'broke and ugly.' isn't that sad? we zipped right passed him so i didn't get a chance to spare him a few coins... poor guy. he wasn't *that* ugly.

today was a good day... didn't spend it laying around the house watchin tv and on the computer which is good. actually, sophie and sammy came over and we were going to confront tyler to see if he was stalking sammy, but it turns out he's in mexico... which sucked cuz i wanted to see a fight happen, haha.
anyways, so instead, we spent practically the whole time at my house with me tatooing sammy's and sophie's arm with my tatoo pens. yep, sammy's arm is covered with a pouncing kitten, her with the thumbs-up sign, the cheerios bee and a bunch of other stuff. sophie has a potrait of her with an afro, her holding abraham lincoln's hand, some puzzle pieces, a duck playing a clarinet and some other stuff which i forgot. yep, a very productive day if you ask me.
anyways, henry called me today and wanted me to go with him to this lao festival thing this weekend, but i'm gonna busy... sorry hun! instead, we're makin plans to see 'charlie's angels: full throttle' next weekend at the megastar theater which is going to be super cool cause i actually really want to see that movie and also because i think that devin works at the one in maple grove so i might get to see him... *smiles* i so really really really want to call him...but knowing me and my scaredy self, i probably won't. *sigh* who knows. any advice?

friday five
1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short?
my hair is naturally straight and is currently pretty long...
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime?
i had the short bob and bangs when i was little, then i had long hair with bangs which i later grew out. i've chopped it off to my shoulders a few times, but now i'm tryin to grow it out
3. How do your normally wear your hair?
during school, i don't kno shit how to do hair so i normally wore my hair down, sometimes with the ends curled, sometimes not. but since its summer and i don't like having hair in my face, i wear it up with a clip.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like?
i would like to have purple streaks in my hair... that would look so cool. i also want to kno what it would look like if i bleached it and dyed it red.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened?
when i was little, i thought that my bangs were too long so i decided to cut them myself... without a mirror. so i ended up with crooked, half-inch bangs... yeah, i was an idiot child.

the ataris - in this diary |
] |
the reason why i have never been in a serious relationship before is because i am extremely picky. how picky? well, since i am extremely bored at this very moment and am in a listing mood, i will list the extensive qualities of my perfect man (if there even is one). the ones with the + means that it is a must.
1. + does not smoke. i can't stand the smell and the fact that it takes years of your life isn't a good thing.
2. does not do drugs. i am such a goody-goody
3. + has a good sense of humor. this is *the* quality all women i kno of that they look for in a guy. who wants some bland, dull man that can't make you smile. i love to smile and i'll need a guy to help put it on my face.
4. can support himself. no mooching from mummy and daddy.
5. has a car. my parents hate driving me everywhere...
6. + affectionate. i love hugs and kisses... who doesn't?
7. has a gorgeous smile. devin has such a gorgeous, contageous smile that just makes my heart flutter... *sigh*
8. + lives within a 20mi radius. i am too lazy for a long-distance relationship
9. no long hair. i guess it depends on what the guy looks like (his face shape, the look), but i dislike long hair on guys... very very short hair/bald isn't that good either
10. doesn't have a lot of body hair. hairy chests disgusts me...
11. nice skin. a pimple here or there is fine, but not so much that that will be all i'll focus on whenever i look at your face.
12. loves to watch movies. i am a movie fanatic.
13. liberal. i am so liberal and am passionate about many topics that being with someone who is extremely conservative will drive me crazy.
14. + isn't very self-centered. i'm sick of hearing from guys about how perfect/athletic/smart they are.
15. knows what kind of information to keep to himself. i saw a guy who told me that he slept naked the first time he called me and how he had to share a bed with some other guy who did too at some camp... not something i needed to know.
16. loves to travel.
17. doesn't have a lot of facial hair. no beards or moustaches please.
18. has an athletic body. not too buff like hulk hogan or whatever... more like a tom cruise kind of bod
19. likes to play around.
20. isn't extremely religious. i'm an athiest....... so yeah, wouldn't work out
21. + is trustworthy and honest.
22. + is respectful.
23. nice teeth. doesn't have to be straight (heman has cute crooked teeth, hehe), but it shouldn't be yellow and missing
24. can keep a conversation going. i hate hate hate awkward silences
25. + knows the ways to make me happy
26. is taller than me. it can't be that hard tho considering that i ain't all that tall anyways
27. intelligent. doesn't have to be too smart, but slow guys bore me...
28. + makes time for me.
29. likes dogs. i have a dog so it would make sense if he wants to come over
30. plays at least one sport. doesn't matter if he plays it in school or just in his free time... i just don't like lazy asses
blah... i know theres more, but man, i'm getting tired. i know, you must be thinkin... wow this girl has no life...which is so true. *sigh*

man, i have allergies like mad crazy. i am sneezing uncontrollably and my noise is running nonstop... right now i have two pieces of tp paper in my nostrils hoping that it would stop.... argggghhh... it is driving me craaaazzyyy.
i was just talking to my friend, payoua, on im and she told me that her, her friend and her friend's friend tried to do three way calling with me last night (its weird tho considering that if they called me it would be four-way, right?). it turns out that her friend's friend is, like, obsessed with me and keeps asking payoua to give him my number and to hook us up. the weird thing is that he doesn't even kno what i look like and that all he knows about me is that i'm viet, which payoua thinks is just the reason he wants to be with me is cause he's viet too... right. anyways, they tried calling my homephone and my cellphone, but she said that they kept getting the wrong number. oh wells, thats alright. i'm not really into getting together with guys that i have never ever met before... it's just too awkward for me.
anyways, i got to get back to stickin up new pieces of toilet paper up my noise. *sniiiiiiiiff*

nuthin... my window player is broken right now |
] |
you know what i need? a job. i've been telling this to myself for the past few months, but i've just been too lazy to actually go out there and look. i cannot survive on just $12 a week (yeah, that's my allowance... pretty pitiful, eh?) and if i want that walkman md player, i'm gonna need the bling-bling.
the thing is that other than that i'm lazy to go find a job, i'm pretty picky on where i want to work. first of all, i don't have a car, so that limits the places to where i work to about 10 miles (thats how far my parents would probably drive me). second, i will not work at a food place. i refuse too... well, at a fast food at least. i don't want to come home smellin like fried food... and i'll probably end up gaining, like, 10 pounds because i actually love fast food and i'll be eating that stuff nonstop. i also don't want to work at the walmart or target that is nearby our house because there are already enough people i kno from school working there and it would just be too awkward for me. and lastly, i have no work experience what so ever. the only thing i've done is volunteer work... would that count?
blaaaahhh..... i dunno. i shouldn't actually be finding a job right now though because we're goin to d.c. and new york next month for a few weeks and i don't think that the people at the new job would appreciate me leaving after they just hired me. i guess i should be thinkin about this stuff when i get back... but argh... i so need money so bad.....

why lookie here... i am typing up my first entry in this online diary. well, i had another one before, but i was getting sick of it. you can go check it out here if you want. if this one doesn't work out, i'll probably go back to that one... or i'll post in both. we'll see...
so anyways, i guess for my first entry, i think i shall give you the lowdown on my life as of now. i have just gotten out of school last thursday and am spending my summer vacation for the next month probably at home sitting on my ass. on the last day of school, this guy i have been lusting for wrote in my yearbook how he thought that i was a 'hot girl' and that he thought i was a sweetheart. he also gave me his number to call him sometime... and its just going through my head whether or not i should call him. and lastly, my dad is currenly giving me the cold shoulder because i snapped back at his remark that he made about me. yep, for the past four days he's been ignoring me like a friggin teenage girl mad at her friend. pretty sad if you ask me.
so there goes my first entry. enjoy!
