Hang Do Something

I stayed up all night and I finally finished a new project I'm working on. Can you guess? If I had to guess, I wouldn't have guess it right because I have no fashion sense really. More than ever, I want to dress in "pretty" clothes, clothes that are different than what I'm used to, clothes shows my personality, I just want to step outside of my usual self and challenge who I think I am. Small Pockets is a small shop I created that offer tops and accessories (in the future) at affordable prices from pieces that I personally choose. I'll be my own stylist, I'm not sure how it'll do, but why not right? Changing and "growing up" and developing a better sense of who you are is good, stagnant is not good. Behind the scenes of my "creativity" for this shoot... Pins and tape are extremely useful. Nước Mắm for the Soul  is another project I've been working on for my Vietnamese community, but it's not anything yet,...

Today I walked and walked from place to place in the rain- I was at times very discouraged to keep doing what I did. I didn't have to- but it is what I need to, for myself.  Since my internship with the Southwestern Company-selling books door to door- I told myself I would not let myself regret chances/opportunities again.

For me, I feel that I need to go through many difficult and challenging experiences so that I can grow, define myself, and be that person I've always wanted to be. This is my barely second day-but I am proud of myself for walking and walking (well, driving too) when I felt that I ...

Have you ever sufferd one of those times where you  put on makeup and the right lip color, even a new hairstyle-- most important of all, you think you look nice . When the pictures come out- "What?! Is that how I look on cameras?!" *Runs away and hides face* Last night for friend's birthday party- I wore red lipstick for the first time , it was a goregous matte red with hint of orange. My FIRST TIME wearing such a strong color. I was using a foundation that I had thought was a bit too light before- but knowing me, I forgot. I had looked at myself in the mirror  and gave myself the thumbs up*Thumbs up* before leaving the house. My face looked like a semi round shaped ball that is pale white! The lesson here is despite what you end up "looking like" on cameras- angles and lights do play major roles in how one looks in pictures, picutres don't necessarily capture everything. Experiementing with differerent makeup colors, hair styles,  and clothes is ...
