cool pimped out truck.

lime green metallic lining! awesomeeeeee.

okay, i tried to take a better show. it’s really sexier than it seems. but my webcam is located at the top of my laptop and and it’s really quite conspicuous what the person is doing when i they turn their whole laptop so it faces your car and then reaches around in front so that the person can click the mouse to take a picture. not to mention the fact that you can see your car on the laptop’s screen. haha.

how creepy a stalker i am.

under construction.

i am currrently trying to fix my wordpress so i can have a page that will kind of like a seperate blog by still by me. i tried doing the heirarchy thing have having a seperate page with sub-pages? but that’s not working well. i guess i’ll just have a page and constantly update that page. or i could have a completely seperate blog and link it. but we’ll see about that. until then, you can just read sub pages in my heartache journal.

warning: it’s probably a bit too girly. [:

quiet.

everyone’s sleeping. it’s 1pm. we woke up and ate and now we’re taking afternoon naps.

i’m down in beaverton, OR for the weekend. for the fourth. it has been a great weekend (albeit a bit boring) because the family is all together and we all dote upon baby Tam (it’s prnounced kind of like Th-ah-mb).

she’s grow quite a bit fat-wise. she’s a VERY healthy eater just like her mom. basically, she sleeps. eats. burps. farts. poops. and then sleeps. and sometimes she does two at once like pooping while eating. it’s kinda weird in a funny cute baby way [: she’s absolutely marvelous. adorable beyond words. she also has long legs like me that love to kick away her covers. she’s sleeping right now (i think our sleeping schedule revolves around her.) and she’s making little sucking motions with her mouth. man, she eats even in her dreams! ^^

the fourth was normal. i think the whole luster of fireworks on the fourth and whatnot has faded for me. sad, right? we went to see fireworks down in downtown portland and it was more tiring than eventful. too many people. lot’s of hustle and bustle. just tiring. i had more fun just lighting our own mini-set of fireworks at home after the show. and okay, i was disappointed because i found out those huge ones were just…huge fountains. apparently anything that flies in the sky and goes boom is illegal? DAMMIT. I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE INDIAN RESERVATION. lol. i’m just hoping the neighbors near our house in seattle didn’t get to carried away and accidentally shoot a roman candle into our yard or something because our grass is dryyyyyyy. it happened one year, i kid you not. lucky we had a hose. burnt like, 2 feet by 1 feet of our grass. >< but yea, it was fine. next year, i’m hoping to go to ally’s because i remember having fun there because 1) they have really good food, 2) playing mahjong with her aunts is funnnn, 3) AMAZING FIREWORKS

so yes, now i will go feed Tam because she just woke and is angry. and everyone else needs her sleep since i’m in charge of feeding and burping for now. =D

here is a video to keep you occupied . great great great ! plus. taylor swift always reminds me of my hone y now. ><”

i do like this cover a lot, his left hand is clearly softer than his right so it brings out the melody more. and the sound is better than on his cover of love story. all in all, i like it. ^^

SIWON IS SO CUTE. AND SO IS DONGHAE. MY TWO FAVORITES.

this song is cute. i wonder why siwon left her in the first place. probably because he had to. and well, he came back in the end to find her again right? but her heart was healed by another. i feel bad for siwon, but i mean, coming from a girl, he shouldn’t have left in the first place right? well.

when two people are meant to be, they’ll always find someway back to each other. [:

The Bachelorette: an emotional ride.

Okay okay okay. I admit. I watch the Bachelorette. But in my defense, I was “forced” to watch it in the beginning and I just ended up sucking me in.

Background info? My family eats dinner around 7:30 with our TV in the corner to catch Jeopardy as we have done for the last…what..15 years? 7:30pm is our aiming point. Around there. And then we watch whatever is on at 8pm, and depending on what it is, I shower at 8:30 or 9pm and yadda yadda yadda.

Of course, Bachelorette is on at 8pm right? (and lasting until 10pm sometimes!). I only watched it because I am a slow eating and tend to never finish before 8pm and we caught the last few episodes of the The Bachelor (DRAMA!) with that guy with the boy (man, is he old news. Melissa probably got the better end of the publicity) and how he chose one girl and then broke up with her for the runner up girl and whatnot. So naturally, dad and mom are now eager to watch their beloved Bachelor[ette]. And thus, I am “forced” to watch with them.

First up, Jillian is not some sexy scary-eyebrow lady. She’s cute. She’s funny. She’s just absolutely my type of girl if I had a type of girl.

Well skipping through the whole season, I’m more of the get-right-to-the-end kind of person and MAN last night’s episode was a SHOCKERRRRRRRRR. It made me yell AND throw my hamster at the TV. And go running out to my dad saying “DID YOU SEE THAT?”

No way did she choose West to be part of the Top 4. 17 hours after the show, I randomly told my dad “I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE CHOSE WES” to which he was like “what?…oh. My god you’re still thinking of that?” because seriously, Jake melts my little itty bitty teenage heart. He’s Texan, handsome as hell, and a commercial airline pilot! You know how uniforms turn me on [;  But he wasn't the guy that I was rooting for. I love Micheal! He's so funny and just so out there and he fell OH SO HARD. It was just the way he LOOKED at her. Made me think of my relationship..but that's a different story.

So. Final Four. Wes. Ed. Kiptyn. Reid.

I'm going for Reid because...I don't know. I like him the most? Definitely not Wes. Kiptyn's family is a bit too intense for me with the wine and the smartness and the fine lifestyle and whatnot. And what kind of name is is Kiptyn O__O" And I really don't know ANYTHING about Ed. So we'll see.

Until next week.

[btw, hot song I just downloaded. I heard it from the mapthesoul video of DJ Tukutz dancing <--- ABSOLUTE HILAROUSITY.]

autobots! rollout!

my sleeping has been crazy wack lately. i sleep late. and then i wake up randomly in the middle of the night. and then back to sleep. and then wake up and then my alarm goes off cuz i forget to turn it off and this i press snooze repeatedly instead of turning it off cuz i’m so use to pressing snooze.

today today was bouncy butt numbness. i actually woke up at 9am. for no reason. my bladder wasn’t even full. and then i just mulled around and slept a little but it was that kind of in-and-out sleeping. and then around like 11am my brother opens the door and is like “hao. hao. hao. wanna go see a movie?” and im like “uh. yea.” cuz i “get to see only one movie a year or something…” (liz 6/27/09) (lol, i’m such a school nerd.)

so up i go dressing and brushing my teeth and leaving my dad a post-it on the counter that read: ba –@ southcenter with anh hai –hao. because i’m SUCH a good daughter and so use to being controlled and telling my parents where i go so they don’t freak out and call the cops slash call all my friends that they have numbers of slash go to my friends house and knock on the door and ask if they know where i am (the latter actually happened.).

southcenter it was. man the imax line was packed. but we managed to get tickets.

overall? movie rated: ehhhh.

first of all. yes, i know megan fox is pretty sizzlin’. like, very very very even-if-i-wasn’t-a-lesbian-i’d-expletive-her sizzlin’. running around in those boots and white pants that never get really dirty. yep. bet you all the guys in that audience were like “if only….”

but besides that, the sound was a bit too loud for me and the whole movie made me a bit headache-y. sad right? considering how much i adore transformers and the hot robot metal sex they have when they grapple and wrestle with each other. and the close-ups of optimus prime transforming? ROBOT P0RN! and yes, i typed that “o” as a zero just to emphasize some geekness. (:

but unlike the first one, the plot was quite thin. i mean, what does the sliver of the all-spark that was with mikela end up doing. just staying in her bag?  and i mean, the whole part with alice hunting (literally) down sam was a bit carried out. and scenes that we absolutely unneeded and added just for stupid slapstick amteur teenage boy humor. yes, i’m talking about the taser to the balls and the TOTALLY UNNESSARY closeup of that sector 7 man’s ass in a thong (very little cellulite i must say..) and you know what got the 7 year old boy laughing his ass off in the row in front of me? the part when mikeala landed on that leo’s “testicles” when they portkeyed (yes! harry potter terminology!) to the desert.

but the most important part is when i cried. yes, i cried. i mean WHO CAN SIT THERE STONEFACED WHEN OPTIMUS PRIME IS BEING RIPPED APART MAN! HE DIEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. *starts tearing up again*

but then he came back to life! with like upgrades from the old man! and it was awesome again!

[:

it was a bit long, that’s all. all action in the last…30 minutes. running and shooting. but oh well, it was still sexy.

suspicious @ Twitter.

oh, and just a funny note.

you know how i wrote about how the girl wanted to “follow” me on Twitter? Serena something? Well i was looking at my blog and i noticed her name came up as n html link so i clicked it. and this led me to a page that said:

Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.

ROFL. strange activity? what. was she plotting to murder someone on Twitter or something? lol. did she tweet “sharpening my knives. so fun!” ? ;]

jk. but it kind of made me the laugh, the ideas of “strange activity”.

& no, i did no click the link that tells me what causes suspension of a twitter account at the bottom of the page. sometimes, i prefer to stick with my imagination, y’know? (:

independent girl.

yes! i will finally be able to decline the guy and say “no thanks, but i can change my own tire!” when i break down on the freeway. beat that all you chivalrous guys who think that girls know nothing about cars! psh.

i can now:

• change the tires when i get a flat…or when i need to change them
• check the oil
• change my brakes
• recharge the battery when it dies (using jumper cables!)
• put chains on my tires

yea-yuh. and all this when i don’t even have a driving permit (but i have a car!). i feel satisfied. at least i know i’ll be saving money. and next on the list? learning how to change oil. it’s just that none of the cars need oil changing yet for me to learn.

—-

this is from basically what i did today. man, i have callouses on my hands from lifting and cranking (is that what it’s call?) and turning and jacking up the car and … yea. my back is KILLING ME. and so are my arms. my skinny skinny arms lifting fat tires. ugh.

dad taught me how to change brakes today. though it was more like, he was heading out to change brakes and i wanted to learn and then i ended up doing everything. i jacked up the cars 7 times. 4 of them because we had to check each tire. and i took off the tires and put them underneath the car as safety usually tells you too. and unscrewed the rusty ass bolts (we had to use WD-40* hella.) that held the brakes because it’s a hella old ass car. and changed the brakes and smear on that lube stuff and in the end, i used Goop to clean my hands. voila!

and..god. it was just so fun and i swear, 3 hours never went by so fast.

i think that every girl needs to know how to do stuff like that because if you don’t, you’ll always end up relying on Triple A or other people. i mean, are you always going to call the tow truck or Triple A or someone to change a tire on the freeway when you get a flat? what if you’re in an area that has no reception. i mean, i guess it’s just one of those need-to-know-just-in-case kind of things. don’t be the princess that needs rescuing. it’s stupid.

i feel utterly satisfied today because i woke up at 2pm. cleaned the bathroom. ate lunch. and then did the whole car thing. and then ate dinner. and now i’m here. i don’t know. i guess it’s nothing special to the outer world, but i feel good. so whatever~

i am now just so freaking tired. so. movietime. and then sleep.

laters!

Twitter me Goodbye.

I really must say, I do not understand the concept of Twitter. Maybe it’s because of the fact that I basically have no friends, but do they really need to know what I’m doing? Okay, I could make a semi-controversial slash interesting tweet such as “I HATE THE STAR TREK MOVIE” (lame/controversial because apparently it was a very good movie..) and maybe I’ll get a tweet-back…

Uhm, I just made that term up. Tweet-back. Like a call-back. Like a comment post. Whatever.

It’s only because I was checking my email and I got this:

SerenaAdams (SerenaAdams53) is now following your updates on Twitter.

Uh, first of all. Who the heck is Serena Adams and why does she want to follow me on Twitter. When I go on my account, I see like “Waiting in SAM lobby. Late again! Arg.” or “I really want Epik High tickets”. I mean, no so interesting right? So why would some random people want to tweet me. Unlike Facebook, there is not much you can literally learn from a person through Twitter. Yes, you can argue this point by saying that you can learn a lot about a person buy reading their random Tweets because it’s like a little window into their lives each time. But that’s not my point. I’m saying, pictures. Friend re-comments. Wall to wall stalking. Twitter is good for random tidbits and if you have a vast community of friends that are absolutely totally into your life and get every inside joke and whatnot. Good for you. The only reason I started Twitter was because I wanted to know updates from Wong Fu Productions, sad as that seems. Maybe that’s what it’s good for? Afterall, I’m not friends with Ashton Kutcher or Demi Moore, because, let’s face it, I’m just not into them. But I do like Wong Fu. So, I wanted to be updated. But the whole point is kind of ruined due to the fact that I never check my Twitter.. kind of ironic isn’t it.

So Serena Adams, why do you want to follow me? Is it because of my hot zits? [;

not so ugly. baby Carmela.

i’ve always had a notion that all newborn babies are ugly. well, i mean, the first few hours? it looks likes a freaking alien! scary dark black eyes and red rashy scary looking skin. well not so much anymore. maybe it’s just cuz we Tongs are all naturally adorable. hahaha.

my sister just had the baby!

name: Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam “Carmela”

weight: 7 pounds 1 ounce

date of birth/time: 6/19/09 3:35pm

she’s the cutest thing ever.

she is ADORABLE. she’s quite quiet for now as long as she’s tightly rolled up. we affectionlately call her our little burrito//eggroll//baby from Ice Age. (do you get the last joke? — go watch the movie. haha). and man, her mouth is just like the Tongs. all hungry and smacking lips for food. and she has HUGE feet and ears just like her aunty Hao! xD

i think the most unnerving thing is seeing my dad doting upon baby Tam (i will now refer to her as baby Tam because i’m vietnamese and a bit-old fashioned. plus, carmela sounds Spanish. it’s actaully Hebrew but i still like Tam). he’s the one holding all day because mom and i are still a bit sick but that’s okay.

i just wanna squeezey her cheeks. it’s the cutest little bundle ever.
