Videos that will make you laugh & opportunities.

I've been wanting to make sure that this blog remains professional, but I realized it may be a tad boring at times to read. I enjoy reading other bloggers' mini updates on their lives too, so that will be one of my goals, including little tidbits of my personal life. Pictures will definitely help too, too many words makes me scan instead of reading the content fully.

Before heading too bed, I found Ellen Degeneris' series of singing in the bathroom w/different celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Fallout Boy, etc.. Below are two of my favorite because they simply show how much they had fun together singing. 
I really love this one, it made me laughed a lot! [especially when she sang the high notes!]


John Mayer is so cute singing the high notes & dancing.



Does Barack Obama not have some moves?! Sure dances better than I can :) A man who can dance is a hot man.



I always love to hear inspiring stories about how people succeed in their lives and careers.  Paris By Night 99 (if you are not familiar with it, it is a Vietnamese Musical Show) entitled "I am Vietnamese" featured some very prominent Vietnamese people who have succeeded in achieving their AMERICAN DREAMS.  They  are proud.of the fact that they are Vietnamese.  I am very proud to be VIETNAMESE  because no matter where we may live and how much success we have, our roots will always run within us.  I remember during the introduction, one man distinctly in his next life time, let him be Vietnamese again.  Many of them did not have anything when they first arrived in the United States nor did they know much English, yet they achieved their dreams with their bare hands. Our hands are in our future, if opportunities are not given to us, we create them (not the type of opportunities where we step over others to have).  Look at how much the people in your family have achieved given what they had.

 Each day, I am more grateful to be in this land filled with opportunities.  My nephew who is currently in Vietnam said that we can bring him to the United States and he can wash cars for a living.  If you work hard, you will succeed, it's almost a gaurantee.  I have been thinking that my mom  is my biggest compettion, if she came to the United States the same time as I did, in 1994, at the age of 8.5 years old, she would have accomplished a lot more than I have.  She is utterly one of the most motivated and determined person I have ever met in my life.  She had gone through so many challenges in her life, ever since she was a child, and there is nothing that will break her. Our mothers are a big part of who we are.




My goal, my aims, for the rest of April is to create opportunities.  If they are given, take them, and if they are not, create them because for sure perseverance and hard work will get people "somewhere," and they will do the same for us.

I also told my friend I will keep track of how many suprises there are and will be in my life, so I can't wait for them. :p

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
