I hung out with my mommy on Saturday instead of Sunday. And we didn't really consider it a "Mother's Day" event cuz my parents don't celebrate any American holidays. lol. We were just talking, laughing & she caught me up on all of her friends' (whom I don't know) business. So I was just like "Oh, ok..." lol. Don't care what we talk about or do. I just like being around her. She makes me feel peaceful.

I made Bre's mom a cool Mother's Day card (that took forever cuz I was watching the Hawks vs. Cavs game & getting pissed off.) I would post it on here but I forgot to take a picture of it like a dummy.

Anyhoos, I woke up to my own handmade Mother's Day card from my doggy Brando :-D Actor made it for me. It had Happy Mother's Day on the outside & Brando's paw on the inside. Best card I've ever gotten.

Actor had to draw & cut all of the letters for the card out individually & said that he has so much respect for my card business now. Said it took him forever & he could barely cut out the letters & make it look good/ neat. I make all of my cards from scratch. I draw & cut out everything from the letters to the pictures & etc. Usually takes me 1-2 hrs. for one card.

It's pretty cool for people to try to do what you do & realize it's not as easy as it looks. I bet if I tried to write a rap song for him it would come out jacked up. Or I'd stick to what most rappers do nowadays & just do rhyming sentences with absolutely no word play, whack deliveries & off key singing. Oops, did I just sneek a diss in there? That would be a yes...

Anyhoos, on Sunday we took Actor's mom out to this sea food restaurant. I don't really do the whole Captain D's fried seafood deal but this was a greatttt restaurant. Definitely not fast food. I ordered this sampler plate of different fried seafoods & MANNNNNNNN. When I tell you that they brought out the plate & it was stack like half a foot tall? I am NOT LYING. I should've taken a picture of it. I've been slacking on my camera duty. Geesh.

I thought they were gonna give me 1 or 2 pc of each thing but I had like a gazillion big pieces of fish, jumbo shrimp, deviled crab, oysters, and Lord knows what else... And their hush puppies were shaped like onion rings & were the diameter of a baseball. lol. I'm not even kidding!

Me & Actor had 3 to go boxes of leftovers. Yea.... THAT much food.

All in all it was a great Mother's Day weekend. I hope everyone spent time with your moms and/or loved ones who are like moms.

Be blessed

HAWKS, HATTON & KFC

Man it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I barely have time to blog anymore. Boo me. Shameless to say I've actually been on Twitter lately so most of my updates have been on there. Follow me @hanhnybun if you want.

Anyhoos, here's a quick recap of everything I've been meaning to write for the last couple:

~ Why do people go crazyyy when something is free? Last week KFC gave away a piece of grilled chicken & I heard that it was mad chaos. I'm glad I missed that. This week apparently Oprah is giving away a free 2 piece meal at KFC & apparently everybody & their mama is getting their chicken ON. I went to KFC today not knowing about the giveaway & was freaking trapped in the parking lot! UGH! I didn't even want it as soon as I saw the line of cars wrapped around the drive through & the parking lot. But I couldn't even get out! Cars were every which way in & out of the parking lot in every direction. It was freaking gridlocked! IN A PARKING LOT. WTF?!

And even the inside was wrapped around to outside. OUTSIDE. Mannnn. Whoever is PR/ Marketing for KFC should get a big ass raise. Got Oprah to join the grilled chicken train. Props to you!

~ After I finally got out of the parking lot, tell me why I went to Wendy's & asked for McNuggets?... FAILED

~ Tell me why a hispanic person (I don't know man or woman as I didn't see them) just got rushed out on a stretcher in the business next to ours? Which is a hispanic business might I add? And on a tangent, tell my why I read in the news a couple of days ago that there are 2 swine flu cases in Metro Atlanta now. One where I work & one where I live. How convenient. AND the case where I work the family refused treatment & wasn't quarantined but instead told to stay at home until they got better. WHAT?! I didn't know that that was an option! How can you deny treatment to something that you know you're sick with? That's just insanity to me, but who am I to judge right?

So excuse me if I'm all swine flu paranoid right now if someone in the same building as me has to be rushed out on a stretcher. I'm hoping it's not worst case scenario. *crosses fingers*

~ One of the coworkers that I actually liked quit Friday. And I just found out yesterday. I didn't even get to say bye! Moped... My last conversation with her was when I thought she was going out for an appointment. She said bye & I said "Where are you going?" as in "Which appt. are you going to?" and she said "I don't know" & hugged me & that was it.

Looking back now I see how she would've thought that I knew. Boo. How come the people that I don't like are still here? haha.

~ I'm trying to tone up for the beach. Me & Actor are going with my sister & her fam. It'll be the 1st time that my sis & Actor meet so I'm excited about that. And I REFUSE to wear a bikini if I'm not toned by then.

~ We watched the unrated version of Hitman last night. It was popping as hell. Dunno why people gave it bad reviews. Maybe cuz they showed the rated version at the theaters. But if you've already seen it watch it again with the unrated version. It was realllly good.

~ I bought 180 VHS tapes for $30. haha. Don't ask. I had to buy a VCR to even watch them. But it's been so fun catching up on old movies that I've never seen before. I.E. Matrix. Dances With Wolves. Conspiracy Theory, etc. Yes I've never seen the Matrix till this yr. Don't judge me! I went to see Matrix 2 when it came out but fell asleep cuz my date was boring.

~ Did anyone see the Pacquiao/ Hatton fight? MANNNNNNNNN. I already knew Hatton was going down but I don't think ANYBODY thought it was gonna be that quick. Lol! As soon as Pacquiao knocked him down the 1st time in the 1st round I knew it was over. I KNEW Hatton was going down in the 2nd round. DEFINITELY. Should've betted but I forgot to.

~ And Pacquiao vs. Mayweather? I'm sorry but I've got my money on Mayweather. I love both of them & they're both quick & strong but I think Mayweather is stronger. Now if only he would stop talking so much shit... But that's gonna be a GREAT fight. And I will be watching :-)

~ We watched game 7 of the Hawks vs. Heat & was so happy that the Hawks won. Mannn we were so crunk on a Sunday. lol! I feel so bad for them though cuz there's probably no way that they're going through King James. I missed the 1st game but hope they win at least one game with the Cavs.

~ We went to eat Pho (Vietnamese cuisine) after the game. It was delicious! I actually got Pho instead of the Vermicelli dish that I usually get. Yummm

WHEN THINGS BREAK

Man it's been a messed up week! My camera (which I've only had since Christmas) broke. I turned it on & the screen was completely white. Like, I can still see the images on the screen but it was covered by a white coat. I tried troubleshooting everything to no avail :-(

Then my freaking "check engine" light came on in my car. Actor checked under the hood & turns out the motor mount (which I just got replaced in August) was defective, rotten, fell apart & pieces got stuck at the bottom of the engine. He had to get a hanger to pry it up.

Now if you know me I hate when things break, especially if I didn't even cause it. But, being the problem solver that I am put a resolution into action instead of complaining & being sorry about it. Well, I did complain a little, but that's besides the point. haha.

So I found my receipts (I keep all of my documents & even copies) for the camera & service & turns out I still had warranty on both things. Whoo hoo! Sent the camera back Monday & they're done fixing it & are shipping it back to me as we speak. Kodak has the best customer service & turnaround time. Props to them!

The "check engine" light went off so we think it was just a slight momentarily malfunction. Cuz the motor mount has nothing to do with the emissions system, which is usually what is wrong when your check engine light comes on. Like your catalytic converter or thermostat or something. Hey, don't look at me like I'm crazy. I know way more about cars than you think. hehe. I used to stand in the shop with my dad & watched as the mechanics fixed our cars. I like to know how to do things.

Actor & I took the car to the shop yesterday & they bought the part & replaced it within an hour of me getting there. Love them too. They be hooking me up! They're my dad's mechanics. My dad got connections man. We're always joking about how we think he's in the mafia cuz anytime he needs anything done he gets it. Like, with a snap. When their house got broken into the lowlives kicked the door out of the frame & completely destroyed it. My dad got home, looked at it, made a phone call & a friend of a friend came straight from work to fix the door. Within like an hour. Put it all back together free of charge. Just like that. AND he went & bought a replacement door & put that on for him a few days later too.

We were telling Q about the service last night & I was like "Man I wish I had my dad's connections. That thing is great!" Actor said "You do! Through him. Man, you're like the Mafia boss' daughter & I'm the guy from the streets that they took in as family or something." I said "Nah, I'm the boss' daughter & you're the hot gardener that's banging my mom." haha. "Eww, gross. Why can't I be a simple regular civilian that's involved with the boss' daughter." "Cuz... you're supposed to be the hot plumber or milk man man."

I dunno. We're slow. Don't judge us. haha

GRADUATION & EARLY BEDTIME

So guess what time I went to bed last night? 9:30pm...

I don't think I've ever done that in.... decades? lol. But for the exceptions of sick days & whathave you. But, you know what I mean.

And guess what else? I completely skipped dinner! We came home from Borders & I was gonna cook dinner but then I made the mistake of laying down in my bed. haha. Next thing I know I wake up & it's 5 in the morning & I'm freaking dying of thirst. Went back to bed & didn't get up till 9am for work.

I must admit I do feel refresh & not sleepy at all today. Gonna make some more card samples so I can get my website going soon.

I read the status of my high school friends on Facebook today: "Getting my cap & gown for graduation." I'm so happy for them. Yay!!!!!! So glad they stuck with it & didn't drop out like I did. Hanh <--- Moped. lol. If I would've stuck it out I'd be graduating too. But guess life has different paths planned for different ppl. I might go back eventually but I have other endeavors that I wanna pursue right now. To each his own.

Oh yea, this is a college degree by the way. I did finish high school. Just wanted to clear that up. lol!

Love you guys,
Hanh

HAPPY FRIDAY

Happy Friday my lovely internet geeks :-)

Boy am I gladdddddddddddd it is. Whew! Long week! I'm ready to go home, relax, catch up on shows & movies & watch the Grammys this weekend. If you didn't know it's coming on this Sunday Feb. 8th at 8pm on CBS.

We watched Zack & Miri Make a Porno last night. It was funny. hahahaha. This is the 2nd movie that I've seen with Seth Rogen & Craig Robinson together. They are a trip! And Elizabeth Banks is silly & beautiful. It was a very vulgar & explicit movie but it was funny. No you couldn't actually see anything but the girl's boobies during the "shoot" if you were wondering.

I made meatloaf for the 1st time last night. It turned out pretty well besides the fact that I wanted turkey instead of ground beef. The store didn't have any so boo them.

I'm kind of exhausted so can't think of much else to say but... enjoy your weekend & I'll talk to you soon.

Hanh

UNDERDOGS COULDN'T QUITE GET IT

Friday night was an uneventful night. My girls called & tried to convince me to go to the club with them to no avail. Note to friends: I hate clubs. And I don't go anywhere on Friday night unless I'm already out & about. If I've already gone home then I'm probably in for the night. There's exceptions when I'm given a heads up about an event or something but if I'm not informed until the last minute then I probably won't go. Nothing personal but I've worked hard all week & just wanna go home, relax & catch up on my shows & movies.

Saturday was fun. We got up at 12:30pm to catch the cable company (before they closed at 1pm) to switch our box for an HD box. (I haven't watched the tv since we're had it. Busy weekend...) We came home, hooked up the box & went back to sleep. haha. Woke up at about 6pm & got dressed for our friend Chocolate Chip's birthday party at a far far awayyyyy bar.

Went to Subway on our way there (we don't like to eat at bars or parties unless we know the host very well.) Boy am I glad we did. The bar was so freaking packed! Everyone & their mama was there to see Georges St. Pierre & BJ Penn fight for UFC night. Our party was big so half of us didn't even have a table at 1st. We had to wait for people to leave to get one. Then they didn't have any menus. Or glasses. lol. It was cool though. Actor got some Grand Marnier & I got a Malibu & Cran & we were straight for the night.

I love watching UFC & it was definitely popping. There were a few notables in my book: Jon Jones kicked ass with his elbow. lol. He's an upcoming beast. And the knock out of the night? Whew! Lyoto Machida should not be effed with! Knock out 1st round. Holla at him. And it was crazy cuz he's a little older & didn't look as fit as Thiago Silva but he knocked his ass out! I was waiting for it too. Whew!

And boy was the main event of the night disappointing... I thought it was gonna be a way better (and equal) fight but GSP whooped Penn's ass man. I was neutral but then started rooting for Penn cuz he was the underdog. And he just couldn't deliver or recover. He was NOT as in shape as he should've been. You're going against GSP you BETTER be in the best shape of your LIFE buddy. But he wasn't & GSP slammed him to the ground every single round & beat the shat out of him. But I gotta give Penn props cuz at least he went for 4 rounds without getting knocked out. He sure as hell has a granite chin. lol. Any other person would've been knocked out by the end of round 1.

Sunday we didn't get out of bed till like 5pm. lol. We were up but just lounging around talking & watching tv in bed. Headed to Slim's house for his youngest son's birthday party & to watch the Superbowl. All in all it was a decent game. The only fun parts were when James Harrison ran the 100 yd. interception return for the touchdown. I was going for Cardinals (underdog) but we all screamed. It was crazyyyyy. And at the end when Cardinals got that touch down. lol. But there was too much time on the clock & the Steelers definitely deserved the win so... I didn't really care either way.

We didn't really watch the commercials or the half time show; it started getting boring in the middle. Instead we turned on YouTube & was cracking up at Chris Rock's "Kill the Messenger" stand up. haha. He's a fool! I heard that everyone was disappointed that Bruce Springsteen didn't do "Born in the USA" though.

Oh yea, we missed Jennifer Hudson singing the anthem but I heard it on the radio this morning & it was great. One of the best ever done. My coworker said that he was almost in tears when she finished. And I've never seen him cry. lol

All in all this weekend in sports was kinda disappointing for me. Both the underdogs I went for lost. I guess that's why they're the underdogs. Well, keep at it & go harder next time guys. Whoo!

THE GOOD BAD & UGLY

THE GOOD

~ I'm starting a home-made greeting card company. Very very very VERY excited about it. Getting all of my paperwork & samples ready right now. Trying to build my own website but if not I might hire someone to do it for me. Trying to do flash & also interactive/ build your own card kinda thing. If anyone knows anyone that is capable let me know :-)

~ Brando's getting bigger. He's almost outgrown his crate. Gotta buy him a new one soon. Everyone thinks he's huge cuz he's umm, bout 70 lbs, but he's still my tiny little ball of germs.

~ I've been working out & eating healthier with Actor. It's actually not as bad as I thought. I enjoy taking care of myself. lol

~ Saw Pineapple Express last night. It was pretty good. Funny funny.

~ Actor & his friend played the Resident Evil demo & loved it. And they're playing it over & over. lol

~ I bought the "sandalwood" candles from Target & they are officially my new scent. It smells so freaking good! Hmmmmm. And I bought the oil burner thingy & it works wonders. I mean, we had it in the living room & it made the whole ENTIRE house smell good. I'm so serious. The hallways, the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms. EVERYTHING. My clothes that I'm wearing to work today still smells like it. That's how strong it is. lol. Get some burners, they work wonders!


THE BAD


~ I'm not getting as big of a refund check as I thought I was gonna get. Ugh! Stupid taxes!


~ I have GOT to get more sleep. That's part of the whole healthy thing but I can't seem to grasp it yet. I mean, I go to sleep way earlier than Actor & Q does but somehow I still manage to get only 4-5 hours a night. Not good at all.


~ Speaking of, I almost fell asleep at the wheel trying to drive home from work yesterday. Was NOT a good look. I was literally prying my eyes open. Came home & fell out till 9 something.

THE UGLY

~ Remember the 3 traffic tickets I got a couple of months ago? Don't even ask me how much they are cuz I might slap somebody's mama. Let's just say it's not in the hundreds anymore. *steams*

ROBBERS & A HIGH SPEED CHASE... Sounds like a Jason Statham movie.

So tell me why my parent's house got broken into? This is their 2nd break in since we've been to the states. The 1st time was when I was in elementary school.

It was a day right before my birthday last week. I was at work & my mom called & told me that she just got home & the house was in disarray. I was just about to head out of the door to go get my driver's license renewed but had to cancel & head down there.

I'm doing about 80-90 mph down the highway in a-few-minutes-before rush hour traffic & I see a cop with his lights on coming up behind me. Before I could mutter an "Oh shit!" a motorcycle flies right pass me & the cop's tailing him. My horrified "Oh shit" turned into an intrigued one as I see the motorcycle weaving in and out of lanes & basically dusting the cop. Mind you I'm in the lane right next to the HOV & the chase is going on in the HOV lane & the side ramp. The cop, seeing that he's being left behind, starts gunning his car till smoke comes out of the back & he had to have slammed some part of his car into the left wall cuz all of this debris started flying at my car. Now my window was down cuz it was warm that day.

So here I am, adrenaline already pumping to the max cuz I'm trying to hurry up & get to my parents house so I could translate for the police report & a high speed chase is going on right next to me. My heart almost flew out of my chest when I saw all of that smoke & debris coming at my car cuz I figured it would fly in my window & hit me. I braced myself but nothing happened. I dunno how but miraculously nothing hit me. I checked my car when I got to their place & it didn't have any damages on it either. Whew! God loves me :-D

Anyhoos, so the motorcycle is allllllll the way down the highway by now while the cop is still trying to merge over to the other lanes & catch up with him. And (if you know me & my crazy self) you know I was trying to follow them too. haha. Blame my intrigued news reporter at heart & action loving soul. So I'm speeding up so I can see the chase & they quickly went out of sight cuz I couldn't freaking go anywhere. By the time I got a couple of exits down I spotted the motorcycle on the exit ramp but no guy. I looked but I didn't see him anywhere. The ramp was one of those circular ones so I concluded that the motorcyclist either a) was going too fast for the turn & crashed b) stopped & ran on foot or c) was in the back of the cop's car. Judging by the sorryness of the cop it was either a or b.

Best of luck to you motorcycle guy. You were getting it for a minute.

Anyways, so I get to my parent's house & the entire place is mildly uprooted. Someone had apparently kicked the door down. The frame was completely broken & on the floor. They tossed & flipped everything everywhere. They flipped the mattresses, opened all of the cabinets & drawers, tore my dad's desk apart looking for stuff. Papers & random junk scattered all over the place.

And guess what? They didn't take anything but her jewelry & some money. Basically a kid or substance abuser who just needed cash or something small & quick that they can sell. *sigh of relief*

Well, not relief cuz I'm still pissed that someone robbed them, but at least they still got all of their stuff. I was afraid that I was gonna come to a completely empty house. I would've been devastated. So we filed the report & everything & my dad got someone to come fix the door. I swear my dad's got connections. lol. He's like the Vietnamese Godfather or something. "Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me..." lol. I mean, anytime he needs anything done he just makes a call & someone's there immediately to get whatever he has to get done. Whether it be to fix the car, fridge or whatever. It's crazy.
My parents are fine by the way; they weren't home when it happened. My mom didn't show it but I know that she's sad that about her jewelry. She had her wedding ring & bracelet on with her so that's the only thing she's got left. They took everything else. I'm gonna buy her some new jewelry soon.

I stayed with them for a while to translate & get everything situated & left. Oh, and I hadn't had anything to eat that day either. By the time I left their place it was maybe 7pm & I was running out of fuel. lol. I got home & made myself some spaghetti.

Hmm... Spaghetti to end a long, exhausting, action-packed day.

Oh yea, by the way, criminals piss me off. If you're gonna rob somebody then rob the bank or something. Somebody big that has an adundant amount that they can afford to lose. Don't rob an older couple just because they're an easy target. You freaking punks! They don't have anything in their house but medicine, asian foods & random things that they've collected over the years & refuse to throw away anyway. Duhhh! Go get a job at a big corporation & wire 8 billion dollars to an offshore account or something. My God! If you're gonna do something then go for the gusto. Be the best at it. Stop with all of these small time crimes. Normal people are already struggling as it is. They don't need you making it worse.

Oh, and I don't condone or endorse bank robberies or crimes of any sort. Don't quote me on that. I'm not saying, I'm just saying... lol

*insert 800 curse words here that I wanted to write for this whole blog but refrained from doing*

HAPPY (belated) NEW YEAR!!!

Hi you guys, I know I've been MIA but I'm back. Yay! I told myself I wouldn't touch a computer till I got back to work, and I haven't till now. I've just been relaxing & enjoying my holidays & time off. Mannn, all I've been doing is eating & sleeping. Whew! Time to go back to work tomorrow. I like my job so actually don't mind...

Anyhoos, I'm about to go to sleep (or try to, think I had too much sugar today)

Oh yea, by the way. I had too much freaking air freshener today too. Ugh! Thought I was gonna have to go to the hospital man. Freak accident: Basically Q unplugged one of our liquid air freshener thingies to charge the laptop & put it on the living room table. I sat down to eat & saw that it was sideways so picked it up & put it on the other side of the table upright. Little did I know that it was leaking since it had been on its side so when I picked it up I ran it across my plate without thinking & some liquid dripped in my green beans. Ugh!

As soon I ate the green beans I spit it out & choked & almost threw up for the next 10 min. Yea. It was very pretty. If you need to know, liquid air freshener is very bitter. And everyone knows I hate bitter stuff. Double UGH!!

Note to self: Don't ever run any chemicals across your plate ever again. Leaking or not.

Noted.

3 more weeks till Christmas. WHOOO HOO!!!

RANDOM RANTS 11/24/08

Disclaimer: I'm having a brain shortage day so if this blog seems very inadequate or all over the place then... deal with it. Or come back another day. lol. Just trying to get my thoughts out for the day...

Anyhoos, yours truly is dragging today. Eh. I'm so glad we're having a short 3 day work week this week. WHOO HOO!!! So ready for Thursday. I love Thanksgiving! I'm going to my friend Story's & my Aunty's house for dinner.

I was supposed to go to Savannah with Actor & his family for Thanksgiving but my 2nd oldest brother announced a couple of weeks ago that he was gonna get married the same weekend so now I'm flying to Philly instead. I'm bittersweet about it because I've been looking forward to going to Savannah for a few months now to see his grandma & all but hey, my bro's getting married so I'm excited for that too.

I'm definitely not excited about the weather though. Ugh! I don't think I own jackets thick enough to withstand Philly weather. lol. If I come back as a prune then ya'll know what happened.

On a completely different note, Actor wants a PS3 for Christmas. Anybody knows where or who I can get it from that's cheaper than $400? lol. I really wanna get it for him but you know me, being a Capricorn and all, gotta weigh out my options & find deals. Besides, if the banks are going broke how am I supposed to afford things?

Remind me to post Brando's pix up soon. I took a couple of pix of him recently & you won't believe how big he is now. Still posing and all. His bad self. Just last week I was playing with him & training him some more. Do you know that I just realized that I never trained him to lay down? I'm a horrible master. One day I told him to lay down & he was like "Que?" lol. So I taught him to lay down & get back up last weekend. Also to freaking sit still so I can clean him with some doggy wipes. He used to fidget & try to bite the wipe like it was a toy so we'd go around & around in circles & sometimes I'd have to pin him down to clean him. But alas he is trained to sit still now. Treats works wonders I tell ya. Treats + training = a happy Brando & a less irritated me. Yays all around.

Oh yea, Aunty is babysitting him on Friday when I go out of town. Actor'll come back Saturday & get him so he won't be alone long at all. It's cool cuz he'll get to spend time with his parents & maybe some of his bros & sister for Thanksgiving. Hey, doggies need their fam too.

I haven't packed for Philly yet. I mean, who actually packs a couple of days before a trip? *stares* Don't judge me! AND my freaking washer broke last night as I was trying to do a load. Perfect timing. Now I have to go up there with my thin & dirty clothes & look like a fool. I swear I feel like a stepchild sometimes.

HOROSCOPE BREAKDOWN pt. 2

So we've covered my sign's positive qualities therefore it is only fair to cover the negative ones. Read the 1st part here

CAPRICORN'S TROUBLE AREAS:

You would think that Capricorns would be capricious. But you're not. Far from it. Oh, you have your occasional gambling binge or Saturday night bash, but for the most part you're very ordered. You live for the future, not for the moment. You're busy planning your life five, ten, twenty years from now while the Sagittarians, Leos, and Arians are living it up. That's all fine, but the problem is, you are easily depressed.

Hanh: true for the most part. I don't plan THAT far ahead. I do plan for the next day or week. But not years. Lord knows what's going to happen in one year & you're talking about 20 years? That's too much. I am easily depressed? Not really. I try to look at the bright side of things. I AM easily annoyed though. Not as a rage, but most things/ people get on my nerves.

In fact, you're probably preoccupied with death. Saturn is often said to be associated with Father Time; others believe it is an evil influence (Saturn and Satan are almost interchangeable). This makes you rather morbid—your sense of humor is sarcastic and dry to the point of being, well, sick.

Hanh: Wow. That's harsh. I love shows like CSI, the Sopranos & spent hours last night watching the best of Fights & Brawls on Tru tv. Does that have anything to do with it? lol. I wouldn't say that I am preoccupied with death but I am entertained by violence (Isn't everyone?) It makes my day to see someone get tackled or knocked out. Especially the slow motioned ones. LMAO!!! I'd rather watch gangster movies & see people get shot up than a corny romantic one. Well, I guess I DO have a sick sense of humor. haha. Don't judge me!

Capricorns are also known for bigotry. It seems your fear of poverty is so strong you'll take any tack to defend the status you've gained in life, and that includes a narrow-minded view of people of different backgrounds. You're entitled to your opinions, and you have strong reasons for them, but this inflexible attitude could cause irreperable reputation damage in today's politically correct climate.

Hanh: Wow. Also very harsh. Like I said in part one, I'm not scared of being poor, I just don't wanna be (Who does?) I've been out on my own since I've graduated from high school & has made it with little help. I spend money on things that I like but still clip coupons for groceries every once in a while. Hey! I'm a struggling 20 something year old just like the rest of the world.

As for the whole "narrow-minded view of people of different backgrounds" thing? My boyfriend is black & I'm Christian while my family is Buddhist. My circle consists of all races, mixed babies, gay-fabulous bitches, celebrities, singers, dancers, rappers, devoted Christians & Buddhists, atheists, almost homeless people, millionaires & whatever else you can think of. And in this day & age? How can you NOT accept others for who they are? It's 2008. My God! Get over it!

Saturn's slowness also throws delays into your life. You're used to them by now, but still, you often think you have the worst luck—another ailing relative to care for, or car to fix, or unwelcome responsibility at your job .... You'll do it, because sacrifice is your nature, and when you have time again you'll work harder just to make up for what you lost.

Hanh: Kind of true. Somehow I'm always handling an issue or problem. If it's not one thing it's another. But I always take on a challenge & resolve everything because I'm the shiznit like that.

This pattern can easily lead to a depressed, bad-things-always-happen-to-me attitude. Don't let it. People really appreciate you—no one else could be a better friend. They also respect your ethics and status. So relax—you'll get what you want, it just takes time, and time is something you know about all too well.

Hanh: I have my everything-that-can-go-wrong-did days, but so does everybody. I say my prayers every day & thank God for everything that happens to me, good or bad. Everything is meant to happen for a reason & I take every bad thing & learn something positive out of it. Life is too short to be angry & depressed all the time. Besides, it take more energy to be mad than happy. Try it sometimes. You'd be surprised. :-)

COPS, MUSIC VIDEOS & BASKETBALL. SOUNDS LIKE BET'S BLACKBUSTER NIGHT TO ME

LOL! I kid I kid! Well, not really. Haha. Ya'll know that's what's all of them movies are about. Don't even front... I be on 'em sometimes.

:-D

Happy Friday everyone! Whew! Long week! I'm glad that it's OVERRRR.

So tell me why I've never gotten a traffic ticket before (I got into an accident when I 1st got my license but didn't even get a ticket for it) and just got 3 at once on Tuesday night?Long story & I really don't feel like elaborating. lol.

Freaking cops. Did I ever mention that I hate cops? Yea, I do. And not because they just gave me 3 tickets (well, partly) but I've always hated them. UGH! They always pick on random people when they're supposed to be out fighting crime. You're pulling me over for something that drivers do every day when there are people out there getting killed, robbed & Lord knows what else. UGH! They're such assholes sometimes.

Of course there are exceptions & I commend those cops. I've ran across some pretty decent ones, but they are indubitably outnumbered by farrrr by jerks like the one I just encountered. It's often that they're no help whatsoever when you need them... So here's to you Mr. Officer. Mr. I'm over 50 & still trying to look cool by riding a motorcycle with my fat ass & ugly haircut. You're probably not good enough, that's why they didn't even give you a squad car AND you're stuck doing traffic. I hope you get caught in the rain & all the (little) equipment you have gets wet & tase you. Not electrocute, just enough zzz to make you fall off your bike & block a 4-way intersection causing a Budweiser truck to crash & beer to fall out & spill all in your mouth & you get arrested by somebody in your own station for drunk driving AND wreckless driving AND blocking an intersection. You DICK!

~ Speaking of violations, I just saw Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows" video and it was WHACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. I mean, for real though. The song is good & I love the beat & refreshing concept but for it to be called Bust Your Windows there was no window busting whatsoever. NONE. (Well, I saw bits & pieces at different times but I'm pretty sure there weren't any.) I mean, really? I know she's just starting out & probably didn't have a big budget but damnnnn. If they didn't have enough money to bust real windows then at least CG it or something. Or is that too expensive too? Either way, she's not pretty enough to carry on a whole video by herself. Just like how Cassie couldn't dance well enough to carry the "Me & You" video by herself. Come on people! Get it together!

If it was me I would've shot it in black & white with them dressed old school & dancing in a ballroom. (With her lips, the flower in her hair & her nails still red.) It flashes back & forth between them dancing all intimately on the dance floor to her catching him in bed & busting the windows out his car. When the bat (or brick) touches the window it'll change into different colors. It also shows numerous other women busting the windows out of numerous cars. And it changes from decade to decade & century to century. All played by the same guy but with different girls. Like he's reborn into another life but he's still the same jerk. It's hard to explain but I see it in my head... Just a short overview as I haven't thought that deep into it, but still. Anything would've been better than just her in the camera the whole time.

~ Speaking of videos, T Pain's Chopped & Skrewed video is HOT! Now THAT'S how you're supposed to do it. Given his status & budget it's not a fair comparison but you can do a nice video on a low budget. No excuses!

~ Speaking of how you're SUPPOSED to do it, I'm just gonna end it with these pix.

How cool is he? lol. My President can ball, what about yours? BIATCHES!

YES WE CANNNNNNN

I'm sure everyone is blogging about the election but... HOW CAN YOU NOT?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OBAMA WON!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!

We took Q down to his county to vote & guess what? He was in & out within like 10 minutes. I swear! I was like dang! We should've waited till today to vote. Oh well, I don't mind standing in line for change.

We hung out at his dad's place for a minute & went back home around 6 or so. I watched the entire process on CNN all night; from beginning to end. Well, I switched to Trading Spouses, Real Housewives & Rocky inbetween but I caught most of it. I wanted to be surprised at the numbers so didn't want to watch it the whole time. At 1st McCain was in the lead 8-3 & then I turned back & it was like 33-16 (or something) in favor of Obama. Can't remember the specific #s but Obama kept soaring & never looked back. I screamed for joy EVERY. SINGLE. TIME his # went up, even if it was 4 points. lol. By the time he reached over 270 I was ecstatic. I ran in the room to tell Actor, high fived Q & screameddddddddddddddddd. Longest scream I've ever done in my entire life! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I wanted to go outside & run around & scream but decided not to. lol.

Everybody started calling us & we called others & all screamed & talked shit. Everyone we knew were rejoicing.

It was THE most amazing thing that I've ever seen in my whole entire political life. For the American political life period. The 1st African American president. Wow. I'm SOOOOOOOO proud. I feel deeply honored to be a part of this. I've always been a huge supporter & believer of civil rights. I'm so thankful for those before us that led the way, fought, bled & stood their ground so that we could come to this. It's a beautiful beautiful thing. I might not be black but my family & friends are & I'm a minority in this country so I still feel proud. I feel proud for Actor & Q & all African Americans. It's indescribable how much the atmosphere has changed. At that exact moment.

Actor said (looking at the tv) that black people actually look like they belong now (referring to this black lady host amongst her white counterparts.) That black children actually have a shot at becoming a president now. Nothing is impossible now. He said that back then black parents used to tell their kids that they could be anything, but they knew deep down inside that it couldn't be a president, you know? Can't kill a kid's dreams though.

Him & Q said that there's no excuse for black people now. Especially men. Alot of them feel like society and/or the judicial system is against them or whatever & now they can't say that. They can't use that excuse anymore to be sorry at anything. At parenting, having a job or any race related cop out.

I personally hoped that alot of racist people were watching, people who think white people are the only good or that only the blacks were happy for Obama's win. The crowd proved otherwise. Obama coming out & everyone at Grant Park (blacks, whites, asians, hispanics... everyone) cheering brought me to tears. It was refreshing & life changing to see that everyone wanted him to be president. Not just blacks.

That leads me to another subject: haters. I just don't understand why people are so hateful, angry & narrow-minded. Every since this election started there were strong supporters on both sides. But people are so wrapped up in their own views that they are condescending to the opposite party & I really can't stand it. My coworkers get so worked up & upset at each other talking politics that they don't speak to each other for days. I don't discuss politics at work anyway so don't ever engage them. But it's so disturbing to hear people call each other stupid & narrow-minded when you're the one doing the same but even worse. Everyone has their own opinion, who's to say who's right or wrong? Just stick to what YOU believe in & let others feel how they feel, you know?

On that note, I couldn't believe that the McCain supporters booed while he was making his congratulatory speech. Are you kidding me? Have some class and/or respect for your country & new president. HE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE. At that moment I actually felt a little sympathetic towards McCain. He's a good guy & he ran his race. Not many people can say that they've ran for President.

But they did & Obama won. By more than double. Now THAT I wasn't expecting. Since both sides had such strong supporters I thought this was gonna be the most heated & close race in history but it was quite contrary. I couldn't believe the numbers; I know alot of McCain supporters didn't believe it either. But that just goes to show that AMERICA wants Obama. Not just blacks. Not just younger people. But EVERYONE. Refer to the crowd at Grant Park for proof. And the number; numbers don't lie. He even won Florida & numerous other "Republican" states. Goes to show even further that everyone feels like change is needed. And they feel that Obama can bring that change. So for all those who say that people are stupid for voting for Obama I guess the whole nation is stupid then. We'll all be stupid together.

I'm extremely proud that this election broke voting records. From people voting for the 1st time to those who are voting again after a long time. From younger & more urban people to older & conservative people. From gays to straight, rich poor, abled & disabled. Everyone showed up & did their thing. That makes me proud. To see everyone unite for a cause worth believing in, for change that we needed. Shows that anything is possible when people work together.

Many people are fearing assassination plots and such. I refuse to believe that someone will carry that out. I'm sure many are thinking it, but if someone were to try then I'd be so disappointed at this country. I would lose my patriotism. I just, I dunno, I pray for his safety but I also pray that I wouldn't have to pray for his safety, you know? I shouldn't have to. People need to stop being so hateful.

But at the end of the day, I am proud to say that I am VERY happy that Obama is our new president. I pray for him to be successful, loved & respected. I pray that he makes the right decisions, change the right things & make a positive impact in this country & world. I have so much faith in him as I'm sure millions of others do. Make us proud Mr. Barack Obama. We'll stand by you every step of the way.

Love,
Hanh

ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE DAWN

We heard the news about Obama's grandmother last night at dinner. I'm so sorry for his & his family's lost. Mannnn. That is CRAZYYY. She's going to miss her grandson becoming the 1st African American president. Physically anyways; I'm sure she's watching over him every step of the way. I can't even imagine what he's going through right now trying to deal with the passing & the biggest election of his life at the same time.

They say it's always darkest before dawn & his dawn is definitely coming. I have so much faith in him & I know that he'll make a great president.

Today is a beautiful beautiful day in Atlanta. It's 72 degrees, sunny & bright; perfect for people who are voting. I encourage EVERYONE who hasn't voted to go vote. It's SO crucial. SO important to this race. Please don't be discouraged by the lines. You'd camp out for concert tickets, the new Js or the Wii so how can you NOT wait a couple of hours for the biggest political moment? Go vote!!!

I have to take Q about 45 min. from our house to go vote today. Since he couldn't vote in our county he decided that he didn't want to wait in line again at his former county. But I encouraged him to do it last night. So we're going straight there after I get off of work today. Hopefully the lines won't be too bad. Who knows whether people voted early or are voting after work there. Either way he's still gonna vote. I'm debating if I'm gonna stand in line to keep him company though. Me & Actor don't really want to but I'm sure he'd like the support. Makes the time go by faster when we're acting crazy. I'm probably gonna end up waiting with him. Cuz I'm that hype. lol.

One of the reasons that I didn't want to wait in line though is because I really wanna watch tv & see everything following up to the announcement. I wanna catch it all. I'm so excited!!!

So there it is. I'm not telling you who to vote for. Just go vote!!!

OBAMA

* And I just realized that I didn't have my "I voted" sticker on yet. It's in my purse from last week. About to wear it right now. Whoo!!!

SHAKIR STEWART & JENNIFER HUDSON

*sighs*

Just found out Saturday night right before we went to a birthday party that Shakir Stewart committed suicide. If you don't know, he was the CEO of Def Jam who took over after Jay-Z stepped off. I didn't know him personally, but we knew him through Slim of 112 & he seemed like a very nice guy. So condolences to his family.

I'm thinking of Jennifer Hudson & her family today too as they are having the funeral. God bless you & Shakir's family.

To everyone else out there: I know life is not pleasant & easy sometimes but hang in there. No matter what is going on in the economy, your love life, or at work everything will be allllll right. Don't ever ever think that you are alone. God loves you. At the end of the day if you don't have anyone to talk to you still have him. Talk to him. He'll be happy to hear from you. If you don't believe in or want to talk to him then talk to me. I might not know you but I'm always here to listen. I won't judge or make fun. It's actually easier to confide in a stranger because you'll get a refreshing & unbiased point of view or advice from them. Sometimes you just need to step out of your head a little, you know?

Well have a great & blessed day everyone. Stay positive & do great things because you can. Hug your loved ones just a little longer. Tell them that you're proud of them. I'm sure someone would really appreciate it.

Love,
Hanh

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

We voted yesterday. Stood in line for almost 3 hours but it was worth it. GO OBAMA! Whoot whoot!

My initial plan was to get off work at 4pm, get home by 4:30pm & get to the polls by 4:45 or 5pm. I was trying to beat the 9-5ers getting off work but that didn't happen. lol. I told the boys to be ready but when I got home Actor was still sleep. *stares* It was cool though, we didn't have any plans for the night so could afford to wait in line.

We got to the place at 6pm. Followed the signs, went inside & smiled. We saw the line wrap around a little bit but it didn't look that bad... and THEN the officer asked us if we were here to vote & directed us to go to the back of the line. We walked around a maze kind of to find the line. And boyyyy was it long. It snaked around the whole entire building. Not like a baby snake. Like the snake when you play that game on your phone when you've gotten to like the 10th level & you've eaten so much stuff that the actual snake is filling up the screen & you have no where to really turn & end up dying because you hit yourself kinda long. Yea....

It wasn't a bad experience though. I brought my word search puzzle book (that I've been on obsessively for over two weeks now,) Actor brought a book to read & Q had his Ipod so we were good. After a while all of us put our stuff down & started talking to each other. We always have a ball talking about random things. The better part of our waiting in line was spent people watching & talking about them. hahaha. People are funny man. We said who looked like which celebrity (good or bad,) who was looking crazy & etc. This one older white guy had a thickkkk mustache, teal sweatpants on, a white tee & a black & white South Pole hoodie on. It was funnnyyyyy. We did a "guess who I'm describing with these 2 adjectives" game. His was "stache & South Pole." haha. They spotted him immediately.

There were alot of celebrity lookalikes there: Shaq, Montel Williams, Charles Barkley, Flav & etc...

The line was moving pretty fast considering. But since it was still so long we started to play a "I know what can make you get out of line right now" game. (And this was when we had been in line for like an hour & a half. We weren't going ANY. WHERE.) We were in a building that hosted different boutique shops & stuff. It was like a mall/business plaza kinda thing. So Q was like "Actor, so if somebody came up to you right now & said "I have some Ferragamo shoes on sale for $20 each. RIGHT NOW. You wanna buy 'em? My store's just right around the corner. What would you say?" Actor was like "Ummm. I might have to hit that corner real quick & come back tomorrow." haha. Q then asked me the same but in regards to Jimmy Choos & Manolos. I was like "Well, if you had the time to go around the corner & ask me this then why don't you bring the shoes back to me & I'll buy them right here." Hence, I ain't getting out of this line. haha. We then proceeded with other temptations like PS3s, laptops, celebrity sightings & etc.

Once we got to the top of the line the actual process very rather quick. Had to fill out an absentee form, get the voting card & then to the booth. We got our stickers too. Yippee! I'm gonna wear it on Tuesday when Obama wins :-D

Tell me why Bob Barr was still on the ballot?! haha. I didn't even know he was running until like last week. Crazyyy.

And tell me why Q couldn't vote?! UGHHHH. It was the most disappointing thing of the night. He's registered under another county & didn't change his address on time. But I called the elections office & they said that he could just change it at the same time when he came & voted. THEY LIED. So he stood in line all that time with us for nothing. *shakes head* The lady at the door was really nice though. She gave him a sticker anyway.

All in all, we didn't mind the line. We feel special voting in a historical election. And if you haven't voted WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Go do it now!!! Don't wait till Tuesday cuz you'll probably be in line for 8 hours. And in some places you'd have to wait outside in the cold. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

OBAMA for PRESIDENT!!!

HI MY NAME IS HANH & I'M ADDICTED TO TV

Tell me why I've been watching so much tv? I haven't really watched tv in a longgg time & just finally picked up the remote like a couple of weeks ago. I've been watching everythingggg. Here are some thoughts:

~ The BET awards was actually very entertaining; one of the best that they've done. T-Pain was a good & funny host. I wished Eve & Missy would've came out for the all ladies performance. Wayne was showing OUT coming on stage like 80 times. haha. He was actually likeable for the moment & I felt that he deserved all of the awards. T.I. & Luda did their thing. Ummm.... I can't remember much else but it was pretty enjoyable overall

~ I've been trying to catch some new CSI episodes but have caught mostly reruns & I've seen about all of them so... *channel surfs*

~ Why are the American Idol hosts everywhere?! Ugh! I can't even look at the guide station without hearing them interviewing somebody or some other crap. And there's like 20 different ones. Go away!

~ I watched the reruns of Housewives of Atlanta for the 1st time last night. I don't really care for reality shows but I guess I had nothing else to watch so stuck with that & it was actually pretty entertaining. Lisa is gorgeous & I love her business drive & personality. Deshawn doesn't really do much for me; I feel like she's a boring character. That girl tried to raise $1 mil. in one night. haha! Yea, right. Kim is pretty cool but she gives off this materialistic (well, all of them but Kim the most) & air-headed vibe. Doesn't help that she's blond with big boobs either. Well, at least she's a good (but spoiling) mom. Nene is definitely the drama factor in the show. She is a trip! Sometimes she gets on my nerves but she's definitely entertaining. Sheree is cool. She's pretty & laid back but won't take your crap. I like her & Lisa the most.

~ Kimora Life in the Fab Lane.
I loveeeeeeeeeee her show. I've always admired her & Russell for the empire that they built & the loving interracial relationship from way back. Watching her show is fun & informative. You see how the industry works, how much work, time & money is put into just one single event, and I love to see the assistants stress out. haha. She has a good sense of humor & I love how she is with her kids. They're so cute!

~ Intervention.
Just saw this one episode where this girl kept inhaling dust remover. Lol! That was funny & crazy!!! I couldn't believe she kept doing it. It was weird for me cuz I'm so used to seeing people on drugs & alcohol. But seeing her inhale the dust remover can made me cring. And she was cutting herself too. Somebody didn't have enough art time in elementary school. Scissor cutting & glue sniffing to a whole notha level. Well, at least she got better. I'm always glad to see that.

~ And tell me why I always get teary-eyed during the intervention? What a wuss. Lol! I can really feel the family's pain man. Get off me!

~ I'm sorry to hear about Jennifer Hudson's family too. It's so horrible. Condolences to her & her family & I hope they find the suspect(s). Sorry Jennifer! Be strong girl! God is watching over you. Maybe I could help, you know I be on them CSI shows. I know all of the procedures!
