My Mom Gives The Best Explanations

Me: Mom, lately a couple of people have asked if I was Vietnamese. People used to ask if I was Korean or Chinese, but now it's Vietnamese or Chinese. What the heck?!?!

Mom: It's because you got your hair cut by a Vietnamese lady.

Me: .......................

Me: So by your logic you're saying if I got my hair cut by a black person, they'll think i'm black?

Anyways..........update on the mother stories.

Every time I come home my mom loves to hand me some advice.

There was that one time my mother told me to learn how to bake bc that's what apparently attracts guys.

one month later.....she then advises me that if I date two guys, to not let them know about each other.

Um.

1. Why are you telling me this first of all?

2. Why would you encourage this mom???

3. DUH! Why would I let them know about each other??? That's just common sense! Please mom, your daughter knows whatsup.

haha anyways This morning before I went to church, my mom told me not to drink and drive......because that's obviously very useful information before I go to church. And also because I slept at like 11PM the night before, yes I slept at 11PM on a Saturday night. I am lame, please do not judge. haha And during dinner, my mom tells me that she read that 10% of guys on Christmas day are looking for a one night stand and to be careful to not be tricked by guys...because you know on Christmas night, things get a little crazy..........right..........haha But that is sad and pathetic for guys to look for one night stands on Christmas. Way to try to cash in on someone's holiday loneliness. *sigh*

haha enough blabber. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Mommy Dearest

In the year of 2008, I was home for about a month and a half or so total. About 3 weeks of summer and 2 weeks winter break and a week of spring break. Otherwise I was in Irvine or HK.

And this year of 2009, i've only been home for a week and half total. About 3 days at the beginning of summer and then almost a week now.

So all in all, I can finally say Home Sweet Home, well that is till mid Sept. It's nice how you can still call it home no matter how long you've been gone for or how far away you were. And it's also semi nice to know things don't change that much at home, i.e. mommy dearest.

For the record, I do not call my mom, mommy dearest. I am asian so that'd......be pretty weird. Anyways, coming back home I once again an pleasantly reminded of my mothers voice in the ways of warm welcomes and of course nagging and "advice-ing." I've grown up to my mom coming into my room with a newspaper in hand showing me of crimes and how I should avoid them. Well things have semi-evolved and she just show me a clipping of a man who was arrested for public intoxication and told me to remember if you drink to always drink inside and never outside. Thank you mommy dearest. But at least now, she's comfortable with knowing I am of age and do consume that thing we like to call alchy.

Now all girls with Asian parents i'm sure have gone through, starting to go through or will go through the process of the parentals encouraging words for you to find a life mate. At first it's like NO BOYFRIEND, STUDY HARD OR I WILL GET THE "TUNG TEW" I.E. DUSTER AND HIT YOU. And then all of a sudden it's, WHERE IS BOYFRIEND?!?! YOU ARE GETTING OLD. And you're like 22....

I got lucky & my parents weren't like that at all. And my parents know I despisetalking about such matters with them but anyways my mommy dearest went through stages

Stage 1: (in middle school) You should wait till high school to get boyfriend.
Stage 2: (in high school) You should wait till college to get a boyfriend.
Stage 3: (2nd/3rd year of college) I don't mind if you get a boyfriend...
Stage 4: (this summer going into 4th year) You know you should learn how to bake cookies. You know why? Hehe. Because then baking cookies will get a boyfriend. Hehehe. (Exact words and giggles except all done in Cantonese. -__________-)

Oy vey. There are a couple of personal reasons why i'm single, but either way, ultimately I want to truly fall in love with God before anyone else. I believe a good relationship happens at the right time with the right person. If you meet the wrong person at the right time, it won't work out because he's wrong for you. If you meet the right person at the wrong time, it won't work out because you're not ready or other personal issues. So either way you need both things to click and I have no problem with waiting until I do meet that right guy at the right time. And dang, I'm only 21. Sometimes I feel like thats hella young and then sometimes I feel like its hella old but I mean it's just.....normal. 21's kind of a weird age...eh. That's a different topic though so here concludes my post.

So here's to being young, not limiting yourself and living it up cause you can, cheers!
