Personal blog
was on the phone with someone special today -- i've been smiling ever since.
so many things in common, so many interests. How can i not possibly start to fall for you?
That was for someone special to me. Other than that, today Aussie (sydney) was so HOT, suffocating & humid but what can you expect from aussie anyways? =]
I have two close girlfriends and 4 close male friends -- i think im lucky to have them in life.
People want a larger ring of friends to show popularity but as for me having my close mates is better than having 1000s of friends. I want to show them my appreciation for being there when i needed them the most through all the time let-downs and happy memorable time as well.
Except, VINH NGUYEN, since when have i became your personal massage assistant (i give the best massage -- injury base or just for relaxation) -- my dear old mate made me write up an agreement. His old, but taught me lessons in life for example "At the end of the day, shyness wont get you anywhere but letting yourself down, you have all the potential in this world, why not use it?"
so im now i have confidence in myself. thank you vinh xoxo
Yah, my silly aussie mate doesnt know what vietnamese pho is -- he thinks its cat furball ..silly one -- i really need to take him down to my area (he'll be the tourist & i'll be the tourist guide).
But to conclude, this blog is really about nothing specific -- I really miss that special one (The one who always use the word "mate" on me -- the one who COPIES (COPY CAT) ME WITH MY INTEREST, TASTE ETC LOL, he'll get the picture)

# 2 -- Updates & Happiness
I Transferred a couple of my blogs from blogdrive to blogspot because blogdrive isnt that great (not many functions & its uncool).
But anyways,
Quote " Happiness cannot be owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is living with love, grace and gratitude" - Denis Waitley.
HAPPINESS
Happiness is when you and I feel a sense of harmony, inwardly & outwardly with a sense of connection with our own life and environment. A sense of aliveness, openness and an inner confidence in our own strengths.
Happiness is important socially as well as personally. Our physical and emotional is helped by it. It plays an important role as it create the kind of society that both you and I can feel trusting, which includes, safety and cared for.
The happiest people are the most unconsciously generous and altruistic. Opening our eyes to the world around us is essential to achieving reliable experiences of happiness.

Believe - Dima Bilan (Lyrics)
My favourite song! it picks me up when i have a fallback in life and listening to it -- gives me the motivation to stand up and face my problems in life.
Even when the thunder and storm begins
I'll be standing stong like a tree in the wind
Nothing is gonna move this mountain or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky and I'm all alone
The courage that's inside is gonna break my fall
Nothing is gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on it will never be impossible
Not today.
Cause I got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me.
Even when the world tries to pull me down
Tell me that I can't... try to turn me around
I wont let them put my fire out
But if I keep going on it will never be impossible
Not today
Cause I got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me
I can do it all, open every door
Turn unthinkable to reality
You see I can do it all and more
Believing as long as I'm breathing
There is no limit to what I can dream
Believing mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me.

Entry #1
Entry #1.
Here we go. It's not like i have nothing better to do, i mean i am a busy person but in the end i need to make some 'personal time' for myself, which doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to brag or whine about certain things in life but maybe just reflect on them.
Hence forth, i want to blog whatever it i learnt about the world around us for future reference ( who knows what u might need in the near future). By means, this blog of mine is personal, maybe subjective or objective, biased or whatever you may think of. I apologized for any clash of opinions.
Living in a community filled with Asians isn't a pretty sight, my whole neighbourhood is either vietnamese or chinese (or other types, not specified). They know one another, rumours headed here and there, gang fights. - sigh- 90% of my high school mates are some type of Asian. As much as i hate living in an asian community im still very traditional & respectful to my culture, after all i am vietnamese, cant change that fact.
I have big dreams & goals in life & im not like any other girls (but im still a girl alright?). I have strong dreams that will eventually succeed, im not a bright person but a little hardworking. Initially i wanted to become a primary school teacher by the thoughts of being around children makes me special, like a role model but at the end of the day, im heading towards a different direction (medical science @university), i'm now extrememly focused on my studies as they are very important. There's only two ways you'll get the job:
#1 - with a degree
#2 - with work experiences.
degree sounds better, but honestly i dont want to dress up in suits and all those bullshit. something conservative should be fine, as long as you look decent. Hoping with hold my Bachelor of medical science degree and continue to do further studies and be like my cousin-in-law who is now a doctor!
Away from that -- Im not a party pooper/ animals althouugh i love to enjoy. There's so many other things in this world to enjoy rather than hooked up with god-knows-who or getting smashed. I love extreme, dangerous, adventurous things in life but a quiet moviee is fantastic too. I love my family outings -- we usually have it once/week or every fortnight where we would set out .. as much as possible. plus my dog .. hehehe .. havent laughed yet!.
hahaha sounds like im selling myself to the world. Dont worry my next blog will b more factual. LOL
My "relationship life" - Many ups & downs! Honestly, I dont like fun & games; really do want to commit & have a long-term relationship (doesnt mean im gonna go all crazy on the guy - restrictive etc) nah nah nah... if he's meant to be yours, he'll be yours no matter what. still young, theres other things i gotta concentrate -- when the time comes.
