Shopping and more work. 2008-03-20 10:09:09 Yippe. Mai went shopping again, but not as many items this time :X.Earrings for prom - $9.80Mini Tiara - $9.50 (Yes, I really am going to wear it > :O. I am vain like that.)Shirt from The Limited - $3.47 (My mommy had $15 off coupon plus they were having a 25% off of everything. Its a really cute shirt when worn, love the sleeves :D)At work yesterday I had to organize the accessory thing because I refused to greet due to my throat (Mike (Late 20s?) & Keri (very old)) had to do it. They looked miserable and were always itching to go to the back. Well guess what?! I'm always forced to do that so now you know how I feel > :O. But my stupid managers always make me greet. Make me greet so much that when I rarely do get to cashier, I cashier very slow. Anyways thats not the point. The point Read more:Shopping
What a long day, ey? 2008-03-17 23:35:42 On Saturday (I know, I need to start posting ON the day that stuff happens instead of procrastinating to post stuff :X! But hey, better late than never.) there was an award ceremony for the Vietnamese Student Associations from FCHS (represent!) and JSHS. Of course as president, I had to be present. We just met up at this Dim Sum place, listen to speeches, etc, etc, then eat :D. We received a plaque which Elizabeth, the super Vice President is modeling~She is adorable isn't she? AND! She's single! So just to let all you adorable Asian guys out there know ;D. (I hope she doesn't kill me for this) BTW, that is silly Vincent who is sneaking up on the plaque :P.So I've concluded that my non-stop coughing and red eyes for the pass three-four consecutive days are symptoms of strep throat. I reali
Pink Game Noodles & Co. 2008-03-15 07:17:42 So last Saturday night, the "crew" and I went to camp out at the Gamestop at Tysons Corner to wait for Smash Brothers Brawl. I don't know why we were there because no one bought a prepaid thing (Leo did, but he bought it online so they sent it to his house). Leo wanted to participate in the tournament but the stupid manager never told him that we had to sign up before hand. What is that? Stupid manager, if someone asks you a lot of questions about the tournament but you don't even let them know that you have to sign up, well that makes you a jerk! Here's a picture of how long the line was:Anyways on the Tuesday that just passed, Leo and I went to Noodles & Co. for the first time :). It didn't help that the guy kept on recommending us things off the Asian menu (there are three menus, A
Bam, heritage night. 2008-03-06 20:36:09 Last Friday was Falls Church High School's Heritage Night :). My group did a martial arts portion. I'm the girl in the middle with the ugly stance (I didn't know my knee was bent x_x;; Those capris are too tight anyways!). It was a Romeo & Juliet thing, Leo being Romeo, and I'm the dear Juliet, except I didn't kill myself. The VSA Dance was stunning with the girls' light show and the boys' breakdancing even though they pulled their routine together in three days.Other than that, just yesterday I submitted my application to Youth For Understanding USA to study abroad this summer to Japan. I actually first submitted my application to AFS (another study abroad program) with a $75 application fee but changed my mind because it was too expensive ($6,100!!). I then applied to YFU because the
Keeping up with current events. 2008-02-25 21:16:46 On the Saturday that just passed, I had work :(. It was boring because I had to be greeter, and Leo was scheduled to work. So the whole time I socialized because I don't care if I get less hours, I was SOO bored. And our current promotion sucks. Do the CEOs of Aero know how hard it is to say, "Hey guys welcome to Aero, just to let you know you can mix and match two of most of the tops in here for $25, but be careful, not all of them are 2 for $25. BTW, boys are screwed and get nothing." Stupid CEOs, but after that I shopped a bit, yay :).I know its a little too early for shorts, but I HATE the jeans at Aero, and I already have enough carpis as it is.After that, Leo & I went to Sakura for a hibachi experience. Its when they cook in front of you.Yay for fan menus!Camwhoring~Our chef,Not Read more:events
Forgotten you not! 2008-02-22 08:47:20 Sorry for the delay of an update. I've been meaning too, but I've been so busy (as you will see in the pictures in this post). But I have not forgotten my readers :). What proof do I have? Well these 40+ pictures I took when I was thinking about you guys ;D. I have a few videos too, but my computers sucks and takes too long to upload them, so I'll save those for a rainy day. Onto the pictures! (For your convenience, I have marked the date on all of them just in case you were to become confused).@ Chili's -- They have really super yummy food, but its all so fattening :X.Victor modeling our cups at Pho 50. Notice the amount and color of each cup~ Least - Most, Light - Dark.Leo & Victor being silly at A.C.

Chuc Mung Nam Moi 2008-02-09 21:53:35 GUNG HAY FAT CHOI. About a few days too late. Sorry for late of updates, I haven't died, just been ooberly busy :). But first things first. How did I spend my New Year's Eve? No, I didn't go to the temple (my first time in like my whole life?) unfortunately, but we had a small party on Wednesday night at my cousins' house until like 1:30AM. I didn't bring my camera but my cousin was in the cutest Vietnamese boy outfit :). Its good seeing little kids be little. I made about $230, so thank you to every one and good luck to everyone.Thursday I stayed home because I was a bum and TIRED. Didn't do anything all day except at night, we went to the new Chipotle in front of the multiplex. Thats right, I skipped school all day and just went to eat burritos, chips, and soda for $5 total :D. It was fo
Small weekend, big events. 2008-02-03 21:13:09 On Saturday, it was Leo and I's Eight month anniversary. Eight months! Am I for real? Yes, I am. So what did we do? After I got back from my orthodontist appointment, we spent the morning going to Barnside Diner, which has OKAY food, but horrible eggs. The cheese omelete sucked, my scrambled eggs sucked, and my toast sucked. I only like their hash browns. After that, we went back to my house and slept for three hours and then we each read our own books for two hours. At 6:30ish, we decide to go to H Mart to grocery shop for my secret dish that I promised to cook for Leo :). He took pictures of me while I shopped and cooked :D.Me looking for ingredientsAnyways, while shopping, I felt really light-headed and dizzy. It was probably because I barely ate anything since Barnside, and even there Read more:events

Extin[c]t the Orange Chicken! 2008-01-29 21:29:03 So yesterday my boyfriend, Le♥, and I made some orange chicken for my dad as a late birthday present :). I found a recipe online HERE that is the supposedly the same recipe that Panda Express uses. It came out DELICIOUS and was totally worth all of that rigorous work. Did you know that most orange chicken doesn't even have any orange in it except zest? Yep, all of that taste and smell that you love so much is actually white vinegar. Yum. Anyways, we didn't have some of the items so we skipped it :D. We also marinated, soaked, and poured orange juice into the chicken and the sauce because my dad squeezed a whole two cups for us. MMMM~ However, it was barely tasted :(. Onto the pictures!Partially eaten orange chicken. Yeah... I forgot to get the camera because I was so hungry and craving : Read more:Chicken

NYLON Magazine 2008-01-28 09:30:48 So this morning I was looking through my free issue of Nylon Magazine
(there was a promo going on in December at urbanoutfitters.com for a free subscription to it) and a lot of things caught my eye. This is a magazine based in London (?) and has a plethora of street fashion pictures in it. Will it ever replace my love for Japanese street fashion? Never! Because even though I like London fashion, its not as edgy or refreshing as I would like, and it would burn a hole in my pocket.For example, this jacket caught my eye:Cute, no? But guess how much it costs... $826! Although, even if I did get it, I would probably get weird looks and rude comments. Why? Most Americans are very closed-minded about fashion. I'm not trying to say I know fashion, but at least I'm willing to try new things other t
Mai is LAZY :(. 2008-04-01 18:35:35 Mai is a very lazy blogger. Vincent told me that he only reads part of my blog then skims because I only blog once in a while with a LONG blog. Well, I guess I'll try to do less of that :X. But I'm so lazy! So I encourage my very few readers to e-mail me, nag me, and IM me to blog because your life is so boring that you must read my blog to be entertained (ha ha, yeah right). But either way, I found a way to make the blogging area bigger (FINALLY XD!) so that means BIGGER PICTURES and that means less strain on eyes. Yay! Lets begin, shall we?We threw a surprise party for Amy on the 22nd of March. She's 18 :DD. Woot (now if only I were 18 so I could find a better job ;__;!). The decoration was so horribly done, I did not take a picture. I couldn't help out with anything except buying the ca
April in a nutshell. 2008-05-05 21:15:45 Hey. Its been a while. About a month to be precise. I've been really busy with a lot of things, and here's why:Victor's birthday. Doesn't he look SOO happy being [no-]homo with Leo? We took him to Red Robin, paid for him, AND bought him a game. In the end, he asked us why we didn't get him another specific game. FREELOADERS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT > :O!!This is my puppy, or should I say, the family's puppy. His name is Oreo, but Leo and I call him Clover because its cuter. He loves me the most :). YOU MAY THINK HE'S UGLY, but he's the cutest dog EVER. And not only that, not many people have this breed. He's a black&tan coonhound which are used for hunting. I'm not going to train him to hunt though because I don't like hunting :D. He will be trained to be a good dog. Very weird Read more:April
Har har. 2008-05-06 20:33:25 I apologize for the sad excuse of a blog post from yesterday. However, you being you, probably did not notice how lame of a post it was. YOU, being you, only care about pictures, not content. Therefore I tricked you by making a seemingly interesting post, yet only posting up pictures. Bwahaha, Mai is genius. Although, if you were not fooled by yesterday's post, then I apologize sincerely for wasting your time with PICTURES!I've been really busy lately since AP exams, final exams, and GRADUATION is arriving upon me. Not only that but now I have a dog to take care of. (Walking him is amusing, I shall make a video on it :D). I have work and poop!Although, being the thoughtful writer that I am, I will definitely try to blog more, even if it is a useless post filled with pictures (who DOESN'T l
RANT. 2008-05-09 21:56:33 I was going to update, but my computer won't recognize the USB cord, so I can't upload pictures and I'm too freaking lazy to wait for my photoshop to open. So then, I will RANT.But before that... My dad is GOING TO KILL MY DOG. He feeds my dog raw meat!! An d just because my dog eats it, does not mean that its good for him. My dog is STUPID. It will eat ANYTHING :X!! Also, my dad is tying his leash to the treadmill to that the dog can exercise. ZOMG!! Talk about DEATH. If the dog falls, CLOVER WILL BE HUNGG!! Nuuuuuuuu. I am sad.Anyways back to ranting. I hate hate hate hate hate people who only talk to people when they want something. There is this one specific person that I am talking about. I know that a few other people have a problem with Not-So-Super-X (or NSSX for short). NSSX uses
Whew, what a week! 2008-05-16 22:21:18 Last weekend was my brother's graduation at Virginia Tech :).Wee! Look, its my brother in that crowd of people! This is only one-third of the graduating class for the College of Engineering.My brother and I. (Yay, finally a picture of me :D)Afterwards, my brother, sister, and I went to go crash a picnic party, literally. I think they were annoyed at us because we kept on stealing their bread to fe
Scream. 2008-06-07 00:03:50 I hate making posts like this. Posts that scream "attention-whore" about being emotional and overly dramatic. But right now its almost 1AM. I am tired and am too lazy to post anything else. I, however, am not screaming to be an attention whore.[rant]Hello. Good day. Or is it not? I agree, it is a bad day. Wake up. Go eat.

Future? 2008-06-09 23:27:30 So remember that H&M interview I was talking about on Friday? Well basically, the first interviewer asked me, "Do you plan on staying with H&M?", and I replied, "I'm not sure. However, I DO know that if I do get the job, I plan to stay with H&M for the next four years that I'm in college. And then after that? If I don't have a job after college, I'll probably stay."Then the second inte Read more:Future
Five random facts about, well, ME! 2008-06-16 23:24:59 In another fruitful attempt to delay me ACTUALLY blogging about things I've done, I've decided to distract you with five random facts
about me. Therefore, don't say I didn't warn you when you've read through the whole blog and end up completely disappointed.[ O N E ] I love dollar stores. In fact, if I had a dollar for every time I've been to a dollar store, I would be a dollar shorter, because t
Work = Hate 2008-06-27 23:31:15 I hate hate hate hate hate work. They keep on making me GREET! I've been working there since November and all I ever do is GREET. The new employees who are a few weeks old get to CASHIER. Am I ranting out of jealousy? Just a little. I don't know why they keep on putting me up there. Probably because they do not know of my hatred for greeting (JAMES DOES! But he does nothing ;__;!) and think that s
Post-Graduation Depression. 2008-06-27 23:12:08 So I graduated a few weeks ago, and my life has become a very boring routine.1. Wake up because dog is being inconsiderately loud, and has disturbed my beauty sleep.2. Proceed to take care of dog from 9AM - 1:30PM3. Leave the house to go a) eat b) shopping c) work4. Go home. Do chores.5. Get on computer and play Warcraft III (resulting in a humiliating defeat from EASY-LEVELED computers)6

MAIXN.BLOGSPOT.COM 2008-07-17 02:42:00 My previous blog: now available for the public to see. I removed it from the public when I created this blog because I didn't want people reading it anymore. Why? Profanity. But I just looked back on it, and IT IS PURE GENIUS! Except for the profanity of course.So why did I make a new account & web URL? Because a lot of things changed. Lets look at then & now.THEN- Very immature- Very vulg
Real Life Situation #1 2008-07-16 23:12:51 You are at a fairly new job, lets say its your third day working there, and this nice person of the opposite gender, who has deemed himself/herself your BFF, helps you out a lot.
