Community college, I’m coming for you.

Hardest month I’ve ever been through with this hanging over my head, haha.

BUT AT LAST I SEE THE LIGHT~♪

Anyway. Yeah, it’s not gonna get any better if I keep sitting in my doom and gloom about it. I’ve known for weeks that this is really how God wants it, but whenever I thought about it I’d still find myself swelling with tears. Even still I get a little watery.. Hah. No bitterness, no anger.. I guess I was just expecting too much. I did all my apps and then.. fwoosh. Out the window, basically. Hahaha. But it’s all good. I’ll have my time. God isn’t done with me here in the SFV yet :)

Bra Stuffing

moloosh:

About a week ago me and my mom went to Target to buy a strapless bra for me to wear under my dress. Jokingly, my mom saw bra stuffers and said. “Oh, look! Let’s get these. You want them? $8! Oh, they’re squishy!”
Me:
 
Fastforward to now:
Mindy told me that she told her mom about the incident. She laughed then said:
“Strapless bras?? Do they even make those in you guys’ size?”
 

“Yeah! Dx That’s why I want one for my dress too, Mom..”
“Do you look in the mirror after you shower?”

I wish I left a better impression on your life.

Here’s to improving relations from now on. I don’t want old friends to dig up pictures of me and have negative feelings.

Things won’t change in a heartbeat, but I’m definitely going to try my best.

If you insist.

Tired of whining and moping around. Let’s all get off our butts, step away from the computer, and learn to love.

What goes around comes around, after all.

I didn’t get to go on Tumblr on Wednesday so I totally forgot to mention but ONE OF THE GIRLS IN MY TA CLASS GOT SAVED ON WEDNESDAY!

After she talked to the teacher I got to talk to her a bit [so excited that I neglected to ask for her name OTL] and she was just glowing with God’s love. And she was so adorable oh my goodness I could barely contain my happy squee’s of happiness.

So yes. Please pray for her and her walk with God :D I haven’t been able to see her since and sadly probably won’t be able to see her again.. Possibly during the school year, but anyway. The best we can do is pray. I love hearing about little kids getting saved. I just feel like they have so much potential.. And she was really excited about it, so I hope she’s doing well. She’s going into sixth grade this school year so it’s gonna be rough, but she can do it with God’s &our help!

If you disrespect your parents consistently, there’s a high possibility you are not on my good side.

I don’t care what you think is wrong about the way they act or how they treat you. To be honest, some of you might have very darn good reasons to be mad at them. But you still have no right. They are your authority and you should respect that. Your parents are still taking care of you and I don’t care about all the reasons you could throw at me like “they’re just using me to fulfill their dreams” or whatever. You don’t know that. You don’t know what’s going on in their heads, but you can get a better idea if you just talk to them. Break down your wall of ignorance and dig a little deeper. There is always more than meets the eye.

“I thought of you.”

Phrases like that always make me feel mushy gushy inside. Even anything along those lines. Also knowing that God thinks of me every second AHHH~ It’s just so.. refreshing? comforting? I don’t even know the right word. Call me self-centered, but I love being thought of. I love hearing that people are saying good things about me. Or when someone’s watching TV and something reminds them of me, I love it when they send me a text or something that just reminds me that they care, and I especially love people’s reactions when I say stuff like that. Because don’t we all love a little appreciation here or there? Gotta admit: it feels great.

[EDIT]: LOL I stopped writing this three sentences in so I kinda lost the purpose. But basically, I invited a lot of people to my birthday party just to let them know that I’m interested in spending time with them. Many people I already knew wouldn’t be able to make it, but I hope that they still felt like “Oh, well at least she thought of inviting me.” I’ve talked with Monique about this countless times and we always agree that even if we know that we’re busy, it’s still nice to be invited. To get the official like, “I wanted you to be there.” It’s nice. &I hope that people don’t think I’m ignorant if they told me that they were going to be busy around that time or something hahah because I’m not. I just wanted to let them know that they’re wanted as much as I want to be reassured that I’m wanted.

True joy has only one Source.

“Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” [Nehemiah 8:10c]

He is my strength to carry on every day. Every day that seems to drag on and on and on, He provides joy to end that day on a good note. He provides love and comfort to reassure me of His awesomeness. He provides.

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.” [Zephaniah 3:17]

Happy Father’s Day!

[Hawaii, August 2006]

My dad is one of the greatest friends I’ve ever had. When I was still his itty bitty princess, he didn’t work the twelve hours he does now. We always hung out when it was just the two of us at home. He would teach me how to cook, how to clean.. I think the only thing he couldn’t teach me was girly stuff like how to do my hair [although he tried various times which I won’t expand on..] He watched Blue’s Clues, Transformers and Pokemon with me [the only shows I ever watched when I was a kid] as we ate our usual bowls of Pops cereal with our banana slices. We went shopping together and then we’d pick up my siblings from school together. My dad probably had the biggest part of my childhood, and I thank God every day for that.

I could seriously go on for days about how great my dad has been to me. I still vividly remember my first day of kindergarten and how I started bawling the minute he let go of my hand. I remember, tears skewing my vision, his walking up to some random girl on the playground and asking if she was Vietnamese so that she could be my first friend. All the times when I would cry over petty things and he’d tell me “stop worrying”, “they didn’t mean it”, “it doesn’t matter because daddy loves you”.. Those little things impacted me so greatly. I’m so blessed to have had him as a father and a friend for these past seventeen years. Since he works so hard now during the night shift, I almost never see him anymore. None of us do. Mom calls him during her lunch break and he calls Mom during his dinner break, but that’s about it. He works on Saturdays and works on the yard on his Sundays off. I guess it’s just because of the way he was brought up, but I wish he could stop working every now and again to just relax.

Even though I’m not able to celebrate with him today, I still let him know that I appreciate and love him dearly. Although nowadays all I get is a “Thank you~” in return, I’m still glad. With all he’s done for me, I should be the one giving thanks. All the useless things he’s paid for for me, the lame jokes that he says, the random singing that always makes my day have really made all the difference. I’m not his itty bitty princess anymore, and as I go into my senior year of high school I have to show it. I need to make sure that this expensive school that he’s sending to is worth it. Most importantly though, I need to lead him and my mom to Christ. I can honestly say that if anything, that is my number one goal to show thanks to my parents. They’ve done everything for me. They spoil me to the ends of the earth and it sickens me lol because I don’t deserve it in the least. So this Father’s Day I cross my heart that I will work so hard toward my parents’ salvation. I’m not sure if anything could bring this family greater happiness than that.

I can only pray with all my might that God will continue to guide all the graduates from last night.

I don’t have much to say about it.. Honestly I don’t really know what to say. LOL. But I just hope that all of them will make smart decisions. I hope the lives that I’ve been privileged to even have been the slightest part of continue to develop and flourish. Even if I don’t continue to be a part of their lives, I’m still proud of them. They made high school more tolerable, and taught me a lot of what I know now. They built me up better and stronger than I was in elementary and junior high.

I’ve cried with them, laughed with them, and done incredibly dumb things with and/or for them. No matter what, I always knew who I could run to if I was having a problem. The late night phone calls, texting, and last minute plans.. They couldn’t have been better people for me to get to know in these past four (for some, five) years. It’s time for me to step up and show them that they didn’t waste their time on me. I just wish I could provide an adequate “thank you” to each and every one of them, because my gratitude is just too much to put into those two simple words. I may not have known all of them personally, but each of their personalities left a deep impression in my heart. It’s completely evident in my life that God allowed us all to cross paths for a great, great reason.

Thank you. I sincerely send you all my best wishes.
