a little bit of sickness

Sick of being Tired, Tired of being Sick

The past week I ate went down with something funky. Sickness? Possibly. Stomach Flu? Maybe. Whatever it was I felt like gross inside.

Song of the moment:
I Believe In You - Tyler Hilton
Great song, and I guess inspirational in a sense.

After much deliberation throughout the week, I still could not fathom the idea of why I am currently so confused in heart, mind, and soul. It is probably because it's MARCH. The moment of truth comes out this month, and I guess I'm questioning my future. And I'm guessing my heart is distracting me from this harsh reality of growing up.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE... Here is what I did not post last week due to my laziness/sickness:

A Week In Linda's Point of View:
Everyday I come to school at 7:00 AM. And this is my POV in the mornings. (yes it is bright I know)

I did some supercreeping. I saw this really cute asian boy with mismatch clothes. AHHA lime green helmet, blue pants, red shirt.

On Wednesday, I went out to support Make-A-Wish foundation by eating at VEGGIE GRILL. With Anna, Clarissa, Kumi, and Derek.

This is what I had, VEGGIE chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries *drool* and PUDDING. ANDD. Strawberry Ice Lemonade! YUMM! Too bad couldn't fully enjoy it. AKA sickness.


Then on Friday, I went to take Sticki Picki with my two oldest friends! (no not like 30 year-olds, as in LONG TIME BESTIES!)

Picture of one of the machines:

Pretty random, but when I went to Diamond Jamboree one time.. There was this Hobo sleeping next to our car. VERY SKETCHY.



Then Saturday I went to get MORE lollicup, take MORE sticki picki, and watched What A Girl Wants with the coolest people. (Ara, Kumi, Tiffany, and Paul) AND eat more 85 bread:

This is my bread that I never got to eat because Ara accidentally took mine: (mm honey cake)

And this is hers that I ate instead: But it was really good!




AND FINALLY
What did i do today? I donated blood. Therefore I saved 3 lives. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY? Yeah donating didn't take as long as I thought it would. And I barely noticed. I was playing games and listening to music the whole time! Last time took me like 3 hours to donate blood. -__-
BATTLE SCARS!



AND now I'm done ranting for the day/week/whatever. And back to OMGPOP! And oh my. I am finished with my homework before 12 for once (: Maybe now I'll start Math and Latin....nahhh I'll just stick with OMGPOP! LATERS. Read more

food all day long

I think the story of my life pretty much sums up with FOOD ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT.
Like seriously. All my posts have food in them so far, but I can't help it :( I'm a hungry hungry viet girl with FOOD NEEDS!

So in the morning I went to this viet restruant called Binh Minh, which is in Garden Grove . I had to meet up with some uncles since we haven't seen them in quite a while.

For some reason, family no longer phases me. Well maybe THIS is just a phase. A really long one. I feel like I'm always being compared by some random family member. Which leads me to, I want to spend less and less time with them. My little cousins can sense my growing distance towards them even as they are growing up. They know how much I have loved them, and now wonder why "I am so boring." In truth, I guess I've always been this way. Lonely. Just lonely.

On a brighter note, MORE FOOD. So I had some Bun Vit Sao Mang, and Bun Cha HaNoi at the restraunt! (: nomnom.



Then, we went shopping at South Coast Plaza for some shopping. I did some stalking while I was waiting for my mom. Yeah BORED OKAY? An aerial view:

(: ME? WHO ME? I only did 20 dollars in damage! EHEHE YAY for deals. I got a grey cardigan from express for 6 dollars (originally 30 dollars!) and my fail camera phone gives it no justice of how cool it is it even has a hoodie!

Also from express, and also for 6 dollars, I got a really cool tank top! It has like a bunch of lace things in the middle which my camera does not show. Sadly:

Then I just got a plain, blue and white novcal-like-long-sleeve shirt for 7 dollars:

Lastly what I did today was go out to dinner to eat. At first I wanted to go eat sushi at some random Japanese place. But we never found it. So instead I suggested we eat at Koba Tofu House, which I have heard great things about. Man, eating there reminded me of BOF. Like re enacting my BOF life. Breaking the fish and eating all that kimchi (: They had pretty good Korean BBQ, and tofu soup. But oh my. Breaking the fish just reminded me of the time Gu Jun Pyo was at Jandi's house and her mom fed him the fish. Oh the random moments of life.
Blurry I know.

Deep thought for the day:
Why is it the world is so sad?

Are the happy people in life truly happy? Or are they deceiving the world, including themselves, and are trapped in an abyss of denial and sadness?

We may never know. Until then, I will wish them all the best of luck :/ And I may be included in this category at times, but I realize I am much more luckier than some, and it is time I learn to cherish that. Knowing me, I'm pretty stubborn.


And now, I am watching the Winter Olympics while playing OMGPOP. Lots of things to do tomorrow :( Loads of homework and no Monday off. WAHHH.
Up up and away!

clubapalooza

Well anything interesting today Linda?
Not really, except for CLUBAPALOOZA!

Which as always, is FREAKING HECTIC! I was helping out with the Make-A-Wish stand which was selling PASTA AND GARLIC BREAD. YUM!
*drool* too bad I didn't get to have any! We practically sold out the first 30 minutes :( so sad. SO HECTIC. GAHH. People yelling at me for food, me not giving right amount of change. Pasta spilling everywhere. Oh well, this is my last clubapalooza ever! How sad. Times on bay so fast.

Eh not a bad day at all. Even though I stayed up til 3 AM last night. Probably because I was playing OMGPOP with a couple of friends. But I also had a test and a quiz today. :( Not like I study anymore anyways. Oh and what else. OH I got free boba from this girl:
All in good reason, she lost a bet a while back (: Oh dear she is so creepy she blurred out my camera! Lulz. So now we have a new bet. Which I will win again. SECURING ME MORE FREE BOBA! RAWR.


So now I will either:
A) Watch the Winter Olympics
B) Play OMGPOP
C) Watch Boys Over Flowers
D) All of the above

Probably all of the above. OH and also, after I got home, I went into a massive food coma and passed out. (I had eaten dumplings, drank boba, ate fondue, and a pretty awesome red velvet cake all for 6 dollars! Woot for cheap food at clubapalooza!) I had a pretty awesome dream if I recall. I can't really say here, but I assure you. It was amazing.
Which concludes me with:

Would you rather have your pride broken or have a broken heart?

Personally, I'd rather have my heart broken, because by now I have had my heart broken several times. And at least then I could walk away with a sense of pride and dignity left. And if you have your pride broken, what are you left? What is your pride worth? How much are you willing to sacrifice to save a broken heart? Who are your real friends? Are they with you forever, or would they leave you in a heartbeat?

These are the questions that linger in my mind at all times. Sometimes I really do not know.
So keep your head up high dearest people, AND KEEP ON TROLLIN! (I couldn't help it! If you know this reference. I will love you for life!) Read more

random chicken nugget cravings

These past two days have been BORING. As in school day and night. (sleep in the day, play/work in the night) Anyways, here is a typical day in my life. (sort of):

What I am supposed to be doing right now: Calc homework, Latin homework, Study Latin, Physics homework

The FUN starts during lunch, where this girl ALWAYS EATS WITH ME UNINVITED. GUHH. (HAHA just kidding you know I /love/ you) Look at this appealing picture of her:

Then after school, I had a sudden chicken nugget craving, so we went out to the nearest McDonalds at school. AND omg school traffic is HORRIBLE! I had to wait like 10 minutes to get out of the parking lot alone. Never again. Once the bell rings, I am bolting out of here.

When we got there, I ordered a 20 piece Chicken nugget with small fries. WHICH WAS ONLY LIKE 6 DOLLARS. ZOMG FOR 20 PIECES. But yeah, so full afterwards.
Before:

Kumi still devouring that chicken nugget:

The finished product:


anyways, I hope I finish on time so I can sleep early. (HA highly unlikely...)

happy new year!

CHUC MUNG NAM MOI!

For the past two days have been a frenzy, filled with happiness, dissapointment, then laughter. It is all in the culture of the New Lunar Year. I can separate this into TWO (yes TWO) days of celebration. Each day ending with exhaustion. I am writing this blog now while watching my beloved BOYS OVER FLOWERS. (which i am on episode 18 if anyone is wondering)

Day 1 (02/13/09): Tet Festival
Sadly, me and my VSAers were ready to volunteer on that day. But *cough* some jerks told us that we needed a call to "volunteer." This totally pissed me off for like a while. I mean we turned in those forms on time and did everything they said we should. Then he said we were probably one of those people who "did not pay attention." Uh sure. Sure. Anyways, we got over it. But NEW rides had to be arranged because we were expecting to volunteer for a good 8 hours. Anyways, we were there anyways, why not have a little fun? (boo. no free shirt/ticket) YAY for free commercialized stuff! And here are some pictures of my adventures: (taken with my camera phone)

This is the stage at the Tet Festival. SO MANY PEOPLE!
YUM. MY FISHBALLS (:
The Cauldron thing with FIRE !

The Cauldron again:

Some statue I found mildly amusing:

Caption: "I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU!" (P.S like the Vietnam in the back?)

The tents!

WOOHOO we made it on the magazine! (even though we did not even volunteer)

Then after I went to my grandparent's house where I had some MORE food.
This is a picture of the soup before it was devoured:
And then I proceeded to eat Hu Tieu: (with meatballs and xa xiu):


Day 2 (02/14/09): Valentines Day / New Years
I don't even know why I woke up at 2:35 PM. Like I think I was having this cool game-dream where I was in a jungle. Anyways I spent 3 hours watching the Winter Olympics. (so entertaining) I didn't feel like doing much today. (Which I should be doing homework) Blahblah. I went to my grandparents house again. AND YET DEVOURED MORE FOOD AND GOT MORE MONEY. (this is the life)

EGG ROLLS!

Banh Bot Loc Before Unwrapping:
Banh Bot Loc After Wrapping (SO GOOD):

Then finally, I stopped eating after I ate my bowl of PHO! (so Viet so Viet):


And after waiting for my food to dissociate in my stomach. We then played Bo Cua Ca Cop, where I lost a bunch of money :( YOU LET ME DOWN FISH/DEER!


Then played some game where we count the cards. (I forget what it's called) And now I am home watching BOF.
OH YES. the valentines aspect of this day. Absolutely nothing. None. Nada. NIL. ZILCH. Yes that is how lonely I am. :/ Oh if only. Oh wait. There is GU JUN PYO. And now back to my BOF!
