and it’s not a happy virus. I’ve got a case of the stomach flu~the word sounds pretty like you just need rest, but I can’t really eat anything. My stomach can’t absorb anything without it coming out of me. Bathroom business or some constant tummy reflex that sends it up my throat. Yes…some vomiting is involved in this mess.

I had a challenging time falling asleep, staying asleep and getting some rest. I just hope to get over it soon as I have many projects I need to finish in two weeks time!!!!! Stressed~

Well, I’m teaching Gao how to make ginger tea so that if she ever has the stomach flu or some sort of sour stomach feeling she can make it for herself. She’s doing pretty good so far…let’s just say she needs some more training on Hmong herbal medicines. Hahaha. She’s cute~I’m glad I have the company of one of my sisters with me. =)

Tra la la~off to teach my sister how to make friendship bracelets!

My younger sister moved in, I cleaned my apartment, ordered my NEWWWWW sewing machine. Sheesh, finally I don’t have to use my mom’s crummy old one that keeps breaking on me. =’( And…life is good. Now, I just need that job I am praying I get!

I need to pray for Gao to get a job as well. =P Haha, but she’ll be fine. She’s a big girl.

Tis’ all…I miss my mom and my sisters!

I’ve been wolfing down salmon like crazy! Because I’m back on my medical diet. =) Which is good…then next week I have my water detox to go on. I hope it’ll help jump start my body for the summer.

Other than that I have been crafting like crazy and I just applied for a new job and I pray to my Father that I receive it! I want it so bad!!!!!! SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, whatever happens is just something God wants me to go through. Everything happens for a reason, right? Right. I’ll be patient and pray for good health in the meantime.

I’m currently editing the photos my mom, sisters and I took during Mother’s Day. They turned out so well…so well that I’m a bit bummed my older sister and one of my younger sisters wasn’t in there. BUT, I can just photoshop them in right? Haha, I could.

The baby in the family is a big girl now! =D I miss her~♥

Matthew and I. He’s gaining some weight so that he can buff up because SUPPOSEDLY that’s what people who are buff do. It’s his body so he can do whatever he wants to it, BUT…I think he’ll look so strange all buff and short. Haha.

We got my mom a coconut 4-layer cake and it was delicious with milk! It’s probably the first time I’ve have cake this year. O_o The baby girl helping my mom blow out the candles. =) You don’t need candles on a cake JUST for birthdays! C’mon, candles are fun every time of the year!

My book clutch that I JUST finished here. It’s 1AM!!!! All my hardwork. I’m going to sell some on my etsy page. =D

It looks smart, classy, modern and simple! It’s everything I’d like to think my wardrobe/style consists of. =)

And that is all for the night! Good night~

so bad you felt like you could give everything up for it?!

I am currently feeling like that. I am staring at my phone and constantly checking my email for a sign! Anything!

Alright, other than that…I failed at my 365 day blog. I feel like I can’t commit to that. I have too much going on in my life right now. =P No time for you tumblr! I’m sorry~hehehe. I’m trying to catch up on life!

Alright, my rice has finished cooking and I’m going to eat a little before Matthew and I go play tennis. =) He needs to work out a bit! Diablo for him tomorrow~toodles!

Career change, life change…..it’s exciting!

I might have to schedule another appointment. I feel like I did when I first got sick…the restricted breathing…on and off chest paints…black outs…and feeling breathless.

I had Matthew rub my back for me today. It feels a bit better, but I scheduled an appointment for a blood test next week. I should probably start up on my medication too…which reminds me that I need a refill.

I’ve been eating well, sleeping well…been good. So what’s wrong? I will pray tonight…twice.

Matthew was falling asleep as I was emailing some friends and designing some stuff…so I tried to wake him up…he fell asleep sitting upright in the computer chair. So…I hit his crotch…lol!

Then he instantly woke up! Blocked my arm defensively and pushed me back. Hahahaha…I was stunned. What kind of a reaction was that?! But I definitely surprised him and when he noticed what he did…he was a bit embarrassed. Haha…so cute. Then he made some poor excuses…lol.

That was my productive night.

Went out with the girls…everyone got drunk except me and two other girls. I think my tolerance is quite high. =D Great advantage! Twas’ a night to remember~ta da!

Congrats on the marriage Christercy~~~~and see you at home GC. =] Happy to have met all the girls and good to see Gao and Riley again. =D

I think they exist to make us aware of our differences, but it doesn’t always help with the message either. I see it as a good thing, but people tend to view it negatively.

Here’s how I see it. =) And it’s just my point of view…

Stereotypes exist creating boundaries between people…but the thing is they already exist even without stereotypes. We’re not blind, we see these differences but I think people use stereotypes as a lever off of our differences. As an excuse I guess.

Even though people see them negatively, we fail to see the good in stereotypes. For people who don’t know much and are rather ignorant to another persons culture, it might make them question the stereotype. Resulting in…a person getting rid of their ignorance and see past the stereotype. It helps make one more aware of other peoples cultures and differences.

But, the negatives we always see is how different people are getting portrayed or represented poorly. The asians are always smart and good at math. A gay man is always a flamboyant gay. The typical dumb blonde. So on so forth…that is where offense comes into play.

I think as people, we should embrace these differences. BUT as a society, we shouldn’t have even created stereotypes. Society fails to see the harm it does…

Trolls…them trolls are everywhere cracking jokes. Jokes make the situation seem like it’s not an issue. It breaks the serious atmosphere…then people make excuses…ya dee da.

In the end, my stereotype applies to me. It’s pretty accurate…just that who created the stereotype that Asians can’t drive? I’ve never heard of that one….? These people need to travel to Asia. Japanese and Chinese people are crazy good drivers! Koreans though…a tad bit crazy. Those freeways are crazy scary!

Yes, I love my rice, I have squinty eyes, black hair, brown eyes. I drive an asian brand car…lol. It’s pretty accurate. =)
