woah

it's been a long time. I just read my last post and I sound like an idiot!! I think that's partially why I stopped blogging because BOOHOO sometimes life sucks but most of the time it doesn't. I don't really understand why I spent so much of my life feeling sorry for myself. Why I spent so much of my life on relationships, and meanings that will not matter.

my shift key is broken and i'm right handed so nothing will be capitalized.

i have a secret, and it's tugging. i don't know where to begin, but it involves $. i'm not doing anything illegal, but this job makes me cringe at times, it makes me laugh, it makes me gag, and it probably will change me as a person. i think the later makes me worried, because i like how i am now. i just can't view people the same after this and it's hard to comprehend.

i do love it though, it gives me adrenaline, it gives me power like never before. the thing about a really great job is that it changes you inside and out. i try to stay true to myself, but over time i know things will gradually change. i don't want to look at money and be greedy, i want to embrace the job without getting greedy. does that make any sense?

hopefully, i will get my business license tomorrow so i can start working at votre salon in arcadia. i still long to be normal, but whenever i try to be normal... i end up being abnormal.

it's hard to explain without actually explaining it.

i promise to edit nail photos and food photos for my blog. hopefully, i can get my life back on track and be happy while i do it. i'm not getting any younger.

Brodard Restaurant - Garden Grove

A few of us decided to visit the two Daniel's in Costa Mesa, and L was talking about a really yummy Vietnamese restaurant around there so after much debate we decided to go. L kept raving about their spring rolls(nem nuong), to be honest i was thinking, "yeah right, how good can spring rolls be."

The restaurant looks pretty big and it was packed on a weekday. The wait wasn't too long though which we appreciated, and as we were getting seated EVERY table had a plate of nem nuong. It took our table of 5 thirty minutes to decide what we wanted. We had a blast looking at yelp and questioning our server on yelp pictures. Although i'm a devoted hater of yelp, i have to say yelp saved the day.

I love the variety of condiments, I LOVE condiments in general but I was wondering what the garlic was for. Maybe someone can tell me? :)

Nem Nuong Cuon - This was really good, i was so surprised too! There's something about the spring roll, maybe it's the crispy wonton skin? or the delicious sauce that comes with. Or the pork loaf, whatever it is... the combination is superb.

This sauce is served warm, it was so good. The rolls are only good fresh though

I really enjoyed Brodard, if they weren't that far away I'd visit frequently. Maybe i'd just order the nem nuongs since they were that good!!

can't figure it out

Right now i'm at work and i can't seem to figure out why I feel so unhappy.

There's so many things I feel unhappy with, a simple smile means so much to me, i sometimes feel like i have to put so much effort into it.

maybe it's because i sit here at work and spend time reading disturbing news.

on another thought, i always read murder stories. i just find it really scary and grueling. WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE WANT TO DO THAT TO SOMEONE??

and why the fuck am i reading it? am i insane, disgusting? what kind of person does it make me? I dunno, i guess i just think way too much.

but, i'm sad and lonely at work. I don't know how to make myself happy these days, i really don't.

I really should start working, i have SO much to do. . .

oldies but goodies

I just cut my finger.
and i'm bored at work, i always feel like i have so much to write about but when it comes to actually expressing how i feel, i fail.

Bass real low - cataracs. (?)

i guess i always wrote in journals because i don't trust in people enough to tell them how i feel about myself. I think i'm overall a nice and down to earth person, i know you're not allowed to say that but i'm confident enought to know i am. i know i try to be a good person and it's a lot of work, but a lot of people tell me i don't take enough credit for the kind of person i am because i think being a good person is what people should be doing. you shouldn't be getting acclaimed for being a good person? wtf? right? so i don't feel specifically happy when people say i'm nice/humble/downtoearth because it just goes to show how sad our society is. I get praised for acting how a human should be?

just like the other day when i was at sports chalet buying UGGs and i was trying them on. The sales guy asked us if we needed any help and he asked us if we worked in retail. "people don't usually put thing back where it belongs, it's really cool of you guys." If we all helped one another wouldn't that make their jobs easier? HOW COME PEOPLE ARE SO INCONSIDERATE.

and i had this convo with P the other day, he says i need to "get out more" even if i don't like inconsiderate people because this world is filled with them. I can't be anti-social forever. I know i know, but this kind of stuff just upsets me. and it came to me eliminating people out of my life because i'm sick and tired of being a push over. I'm tired of always being the girl that says sorry, i am not saying sorry anymore if i didn't do anything wrong.

I feel like i spoil my friends because i say sorry or act like everything is okay for their sake. So things don't get too weird and i always thought that's what friends do for each other. But, it's not and i feel like they take me for granted.

burning feeling

I used to always have this tugging/burning feeling in my lungs or heart. It feels like something is covering it and i can't tell if my heartbeat is fast or slow. I feel that now...

i just got yelled at during work.

---

i never have anything to say anymore.

I've been reflecting...





so this is to you





Saved - Spill canvas





Dear ____,


after reading this, i'm sure you'll know who you are. first thing i want to say is that i miss you a lot. i've never met someone like you before. we haven't spoken much since you've gone away to school but i hope you're doing well. i contemplated on writing you an email instead, but i thought that it would be too straight forward and awkward because everything that happened between us was about a year ago. you saved me from myself, and from probably wanting to kill myself. i don't think i've ever told you that, and i'm telling you this because i'm finally okay. all our long aim talks at night and videoing when i was at work helped me so much. it's like you knew when and how to be there for me, you didn't let me rely on you but you were there. you liked me for the person i was, and you knew i would be okay. it's hard to explain that feeling, but you were just so confident in me and you never made me feel like i was annoying.



i wanted to let you know that i left the way i did because i felt like you were too good for me. i know i know, i play the victim a lot but i need stability. i wanted to know what would happen in the future, you lived so far away from me and you were also leaving for school. i sometimes felt dumb around you because of your education compared to mine. there was so so much i didn't know until i spoke to you that last day. i didn't think you were serious, and i think i didn't want to think that you were serious and that you were genuine. you said, you had nothing better to do all year because you were waiting and interviewing for schools. i thought that meant you just wanted to find someone to hang out with for the year. who knows, it was only a measly 2-3 months that we had spoken. it meant a lot to me even if it wasn't the same for you. everything you said from day 1 was true about me.


you helped me grow and i had a lot fo fun hanging out. you're just overall a really good guy, and even if we don't end up in each others lives, i still hope the very best for you. hope that one day you can save many lives and i'll be super proud of you.
