Feelin' it.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely feelin' it this time. Summer's a breeze
but I need better things to do.

Sunflowers.

always been my favorite.

Nikon.

I finally got my new nikon! Stepdad surprised me with it :DD

Been playing around with it since yesterday. Now I'll have to wait for stepdaddy to buy me new lens. It's great when you're the spoiled daughter of three girls! Lol j/k. Gah, but maybe I'll use my own money this time since all I spend it on is clothes, accesories and what not.



I'm never tilting my head to take a picture again. it makes me cheeks look fat -___-

& here, I look skinny. It's been awhile since I've smiled because my teeth aren't so great. I need my Invisalign! :D But what can I say? Today was a great day <3


XOXO

The more, the merrier.

The men of Twilight makes it more the merrier to watch ;) aside from the romance of Bella & Edward. At first, I didn't know what to expect of the movie since the book was good. But the cast, especially the guys made it all worth reading the books! Collected the first three books, and Twilight Dvd. Needing Breaking Dawn and hopefully if Midnight Sun comes out, that too. Man. If only, real life romance was like that ;P If only we had cute vampires? Life would be more interesting don't you think?



(*Sigh) New Moon needs to come out already! Nov. 20th is too far away >:P

Sometimes.

Love knocks you down.

You keep doing this...but I'm no fool. I've seen this many times before.
You said you ain't cocky, but you admit you've got girls always all over you
and I can't argue with that cause hey, I see it. But you say you're picky, real picky
to be on point. But you want me, you want to get to know ME. Hah, I can't say
I believe you.. but I can say.. I don't want you. I don't want your games, your
sweet talks, bboy walks or your late night calls, texts, none of it! because you're
not good enough. I'm done, over it. Prove you're worth it, worth fighting over.

It's time for me to find myself and what's really worth my time.

Reputation.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

SUMMER.

Started off great :P Recap on the past week.

Friday May 15:
Last day of school
Brother's (Steven) 6th grade graduation
Brennan's senior graduation
Mom & Stepdad's wedding

This day was the busiest day ever! I didn't have time at all to rest. Didn't head to bed until 3 am which killed me because we had to wake up at 7 to pack for the road trip.



Saturday May 16-18:
Road trip to Anchorage

A celebration/honeymoon thing for the newly weds. I'd say, we saw alot of cool & interesting places and sites. AK is not so bad after all! HAH. But I can't blame Anchorage, it had alot of stores I've never seen before and alot of "funny" places. The open markets reminded me of the swap meet back in Hawaii.

Monday - Thursday
Shopping with sisters & older bro
Park & photography session w/ Brennan
Bike riding w/ brothers
Baking w/ twin


Looking forward to the 3 more months of summer "]

Tickety-Tock.

The days are counting down & summer is finally here :) The exception that, this is our last week of school is nerve-wrecking (meaning I can't wait 'til it's over!) final exams are driving me insane. Plus, graduation is this friday & I've got to finish banners & leis for Brennan. On the other hand, I've got to finish all my projects for studio art and business. And, I start training @ Top Nails Salon next week! First week of summer? Come on now! Mama really got me going with this school & work stuff. Anyways, I need to pre-arrange my time & that means little time to blog or tweet from now on. & WOO! I can't wait til' I get my new Nikon from stepdad.

Ttfn, muah <3

Reminiscing.

One of my favorite girlfrens <3 Once in awhile, I think about all the friends I've had and currently have and think to myself that in life, we find friends that we share major interests with and I'd say April Paulino is one of them! Never did we under-estimate each other because we're both cool like that :D We always thought alike and had the same taste in everything! Boys, clothes, things, etc etc etc. She definitely has my trust and loyalty in everything. As time goes on, we lose friends, we gain friends, but I will not see myself losing a friend like her! HAHA. A strong-willed, smart, outgoing and beautiful girl that anyone would love to meet :P And I miss this girl to the maxxxx! Did I mention she has really cute, unique style? Ehe.

Dedicated to appppppe <3

Grown.

So I was watching "Even Stevens" last night and I could say that Shia Labeouf looks so young! Since his days in Even Stevens to his movies of Disturbia, Transformers, etc. Shia really matured. He's so...... gorgeous :D Don't you just want a bite of him? Hah.

Every Woman

Needs her man.

Indie/Hiphop.

I always loved indie & hiphop together. Especially the style they have. Well last night, Brennan picked me up to head out to a Indie/Hiphop concert. A new band from Oregon called "Portugal The Man". Don't be fooled by their band name, they're actually really good! After 3 long hours of watching the opening gigs from other performers, they finally came out :) They blew my mind away, they're music was really good! I wasn't able to take any photos due to my lack of bringing my camera. But here are some pictures to what they look like.

A little about me.

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

1. I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Raised by Mom & Stepdad up til' 10 yrs old when they divorced. I've had my shares of dads but I've only came to call one man "dad" & that's the man that raised me. Then Ma' got engaged about a yr ago, and we moved to boring ol' Fairbanks, Alaska 5 months ago.

2. I'm Vietnamese and Chinese. I can understand Viet and speak it fluently. However, I don't understand Chinese nor speak it. But I'm learning! I love both cultures :) I have my mother's last name. Tran, I know it's a common viet last name. So is Nguyen. Haha. I love love viet food, well actually all asian foods :)

3. I have 6 siblings - 4 real brothers, 1 stepsister & Twin. Yes, I do have a twin sister and yes we're born on the same day for you idiots who asks! Her names is Theresa. Mother named us after, "Saint Maria-Theresa" I say having a twin is not so bad but when she always borrow my clothes is when it gets ugly. We get along quite well and no we don't fight, again for those who asks. We may argue sometimes, but we can't stand being mad each other. She's my other half! Together, we're unstoppable.

4. I love clothes. Foreal, you'll probably trip if you actually saw how obsessed I am with clothes. I like anything from vintage to hiphop. What makes my day/week is buying new clothes or accessories. I have the urge to collect accessories, lots of them! I love thrift shopping too! I mean hey, who doesn't love to find something for so cheap? hah! I have my "thrift shopping gals" but sadly, they're not here =P

5. I can be a very girly-girl to a total boy-girl. From boots & sandals to kicks & vans. I like to be a little different and try new things instead of the whole always a girly-girl or tom-boy thing. I like girls who can pull of any outfit they wear and I mean, ANY outfit now.

6. I've been known to be the best advice giver to most people I know. People ask me how do I do it. I guess it just comes natural. I like helping people out even if I hardly know that person. It gives to help someone once in awhile.

7. I have really weird taste buds. Seriously. I'll say that I like waffles with iceceam. I love bananas with my cereal. I have to have my Special K with banana slices every morning or else I'll be cranky :P well atleast every morning, if not, every other morning. But aside those sweets, I really like food that makes you feel good about yourself :) Don't know what I mean? Like salads, yogurts, tuna, celery, etc etc. You get the deal. I try to be a health freak. I hate greasy/fatty foods - fast foods are a no-no! Well let's just say, I'm very picky when it comes to food.

8. I've had 6 ex-boyfriends in the past. And that does not include the pretend boyfriends nor our kindergarten through fifth grade boyfriends. Lol. The funny thing is, as I thought about it, they were all either Chinese or Filipino. Boy oh boy, what a trip! But I stayed faithful to all. The 1st one, Zhi, was basically my soul-mate until family got in the way. 2nd, Kherman, oh my first filipino bf! hah didn't work out because he turned out to be a drugee. 3rd, Tony, didn't work out either because his lack of faithfulness. 4th, Dustin, we were better off as friends. 5th, Kevin or known as "G-No", was too much of a pretty boy/bad boy/and a ladies man. Last, Ryan, we would've made 2 years and 2 months by now. But that all changed 5 months ago. It was more of a friend relationship than a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship.

9. I was never interested in wearing make-up. Back then, I always went the natural way until mid of freshman year when I started using eye-liner (liquid&eye). Then I started using false eyelashes sophmore year because of my very small eyelashes. I know, it's very un-original and "fake" if you prefer but I have a reason to why I wear them unlike other girls who actually have nice long lashes but tries to wear false ones. It just makes them look like a drag queen. (no offense) & yes I still wear them to this day.

10. I'm a very "art-sy" person. I love designs, abstracts, colors, everything you can think of that deals with art. I love doing nails :) I used to be so bad at it. I also love photography. Oh my, my passion! I love beading, sewing, painting, scrapbooking and ya da ya da. I plan to have my own clothing line if it's possible and my own stores. YAYYYY :D I love to paint & design nails, a hobby I picked up when Mama started to work as a nail technician. I do my own every 3 days if I'm not busy. I miss those sessions I've had with the girls :) and doing everyone's nails.

11. I'm a total neat freak! and an organized person. I like things organized and well placed. I like the whole presentable look and feel. I also like everything categorized. For example: my whole closet range from cardigans w/ cardigans, boots w/ boots, tops w/ tops, shoes w/ shoes, jeans w/ jeans, etc etc. You get the whole thing. Sometimes I like to change things up a bit and color coordinate things and vice versa.

12. I'm a really productive person, well that's atleast what everyone says. I can't sit in a chair for a period of time (unless I'm blogging so that's an exception) or else I'll go crazy. I'm always doing something. In school, I'm always in my own little world, working. I've always come to feel selfless when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do. I like that feel of accomplishment :D hah, & plus what I get out of it! WOOOOOOSA.

13. I like talking "properly" for some reason. But you know, I would always throw in the slang and moke action once in awhile. My friends back home said I talk "white" now. What is that supposed to mean? Talking is talking. watevvvvvr. HAH.

14. I've been a straight-A student since I could remember. I came from a very very very strict family that expects so much out of all us. People flip out when they learn that a B to my mom is like an F. So I have to, have to get an A. Erghhh. But hey, beauty & brains? Too badddd most pretty girls aren't like that. I try to be the daughter every parent dreamed of :P

15. I hate sleeping in. I feel as if I'm missing out on the world when I'm sleeping. I get up very early each morning, yes weekends too! It actually feels better because instead of waking up late in the afternoon and wasting your whole day because you woke up so late, I get to do more things. hah :P

16. Every person I have met in my life always always always say, I'm so intimidating! Some people have actually admitted that they thought I'm a mean, stuck-up person. And ergh, they all always say that I'm a very nice person when they actually got to know me. It's so complicated I swear. But I guess, I've always try put on a strong presence and there's a slight chance it's because the way I dress.

17. So I've been told many times that I'm a very loud, impatient obnoxious person. I always scream people's names when I see them. Well the only important people. And I always like everything my way but learned to stop because no one can ever have it their way unless your a total stuckup person. I can never hold my patience. Like I've said before, I want things done in a jiffy. But then again, I'm learning from that too.

18. Okay, now let me emphasis on this. I don't smoke, drink, party, do drugs, or any of those "wasting your life" kind of bullshit. I mean, I do party but not party party where all people do is get drunk, high, or whatever. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. I mean, what are you people trying to prove? That you're allllll that?! Make me yak! I hate how the younger generation is getting influenced by all the teens. "Little girls & boys". Hmmph ;p

19. Every one has said to call me "rich girl" and I feel offended by it. It's not a bad thing, but I'm not rich damn it! I'm a middle-class person but I do love money. Which I need to save up because I'm always spending it on things.

20. I love the warm weather and the feel of the warm breeze from the oceans. It makes me miss Hawaii so much! I morn for those sunny days & raining days where it feels so good to take a nap and hear the rain tapping against your window. Yeah, those days.. But I've learned to like the cold weather, it's not all that bad I guess. Seeing snow for the first time is nice, but no so much having to be in below 0 degrees weather.

21. I like to be sweet to everyone but I can be a total b-i-t-c-h. I swear, people who know me, knows how I am. I can be such a nice person that I get so mad at myself sometimes. But then again, you get the deal when a person can be real nice and sweet then all of a sudden, turn into this evil, mad, "the devil from hell" kind of person! But yes, I try to be nice to everyone. I get along with mostly everyone I know. Maybe that's why I'm the favorite sister :) hah.

22. I love cooking and baking! Well that's because I'm always the one doing all the cooking and what not. Everyone is so lazy nowadays >.< I love love seafood, fish to shrimp to lobster, to oysters and squids! Yummm :D

23. I'm a very unpredictable and an indecisive person. No one can tell what I will do next, that's because I try to keep everything to myself. I hate how people always go telling other people everything what they're gonna do. FYI: No one cares! I'm known as the girl who can't make up her mind. I always want to do this, but will change my mind and do another, and it goes on and on.

24. I'm not going to even type anything about me for #24 fact, but I'll say this will not prove that you know me by just reading this. Ehe. Muah, PL&L!

25. Motha*ckaaaaa, I'm ill.

Daisy-dora.

So Mom just bought me a new Marc Jacobs perfume :) His new "Daisy" perfume is “happy and youthful”, and “more accessible than the signature range” and “sophisticated but not too serious”. In other words, it's meant to bring younger consumers into the Marc Jacobs fold. It's light & pleasant and all girls should get it! Small are $57 & medium are $72.



& I can't forget, Brennan actually got me the fedora I wanted from the antique shop for my birthday as I mentioned in my previous blog sometime ago. He wanted it so bad for himself but being the "nice" person he is, (well that's what he says, hah!) he bought it :) Thannnks again!

3oh!3

One of my favorite bands :) Check out their new album release!

+ Starstrukk & Still Around are the top as of right now.

Knock You Down.

Keri Hilson's debut album just became one of my fav <3
"Knock You Down" ft. Ne-yo & Kanye West is one of the
best jams to jam to in the car! I love her style & she def
rocks the short hair in the vid. Watch out Rihanna!

Time to celebrate.

scuuuured ob dee alien? hah.

I'm excited to say, HAPPPPY BDAY TO TWINNY & I! :D Usually, turning a year older is nothing. But heck, I'm actually excited this year around. Day started off great so far. Relaxing, and no stress >.< Taking millions of pictures in class and getting out @ 12:45. Hurrrrr did! Looking forward to the weekend =) update on it laters.

Out and About.

w/ Brennan alot lately. Went to Town to see what they "got" there. & there was nothing. It's like a ghost town I swear. However, we did discover this antique store, and oh my! It had so many cool things dating back to the 40's-80's. There was this fedora I wanted, but too expensive since it was an "antique". Maybe Brennan will get it for my bday... HAH! Well these days have been alright, cooling off w/ all that's going on and just enjoying the days as it gets warmer.

well here are some pics I took.




I don't enjoy how he edited without my permission!






There's more but somehow he's so lazy to send it all to me.
