31.....

I don’t know about you but when I drive at night, ..for some reason at some part of the freeways sometimes.., there’s this huge gap between my car and the rest of the following traffic.  That’s one of the best views in life for me.  A ..pitch dark space.. right behind you. Little ..bright lights flickering.. at the horizon—as if they’re fireflies chasing you, trying to catch up. And as they slowly moving forward right behind you, they flood the dark space with rays and dots of lights.  If you ever are lucky enough, that would happen when you’re driving downhill. A waterfall of lights. My goodness… I know I know, I should keep my eyes on the road instead of the back but come on, I sometimes feel like I’m winning a race of some sorts. They’re so slow, they’re wayyy behind. I’m going faster than light!!! I’m zooming!!! It’s a powerful feeling--only until my best buddy taps on my shoulder, “Thao, going ..65 mph.. won’t get us there on time.” -_-;;

30.  ....

It bothers me when people don’t do what they say, let alone making a promise—as little as calling back when they say they would, especially guys. I think they have a thing with number 15. "I'll call you back in 15 mins. I promise." How about ..new tricks.. next time? Say even more specific like... "I'll call you back in exactly 8 mins." I swear, I'll believe you and wait. Well... I have faith in people—a lot—until you prove me wrong completely then that's ....the end.... of that. It gets old. I say "Uh huh..." and go to sleep. Learn and live, I'm not doing that again.
It's becoming a pet peeve of mine now to hear people say they'll call back but they never do all the time. Sure, things happen and you can't always call back. But every single time? Do some math and the probability of things “happen” seems so ..faulty... ......

I’d be a ..charlatan.. if I say I live with my words—but I try my best to act upon them. Usually, if I specify exactly when I'll call back, I do it. Only if I say "I'll call you back later" then it might take... later on. >.<..

29.

I’m ..straightforward.. most of the time and I need people like that in my life. So when I give you an opportunity to list out my flaws, what I bug you about, or just be completely honest to me, ..take it..! Because after that, if you speak behind my back about me, ready for ..confrontation...

28.

I get along better with guy friends. It’s such a breeze to live through life without girls’ ..dramas and gossips... However, some of my closest friends are girls but that’s just because they’re super ..awesome.. and better than the commons. We girls don’t think shopping is important than eating and sleeping, we don’t waste time painting and layering our faces, we like video games and junk food, we have slight interests in cars and guns, etc. Oh, and we can definitely kick asses. Besides all that, we’re still pretty girly and sweet. XD

27.

Optimism is my pal but sometimes, we’re so close that I start to ignore problems in my life. It’s all right though, I love smiling like an idiot even right after I just got my ..heart broken... Smile until my jaw hurts and laugh until I get my tummy toned. ;) ..Love life and life will love you back... I truly believe that. <3

26.

I giggle when I see cute guys. Hehe So yeah, you know you’re cute when I start giggling while talking to you. ;) 

25.

If I could choose, I would choose nightlife. I love how ..wild.., ..free.. and ..adventurous.. it is. You do things that others don't necessarily need to know. That and night lights just attract me like crazy.

24.

Holding ..money.. on my hands gives me a dirty feeling. I must wash my hands after touching it or I go O.C.D.

23.

I suck at keeping ..balance... I don’t know how to ice skate or rollerblade nor riding a freaking bike safely. Sad I know. -_-“ I sure can ride an ox though, does that help my image in anyway? lol

22.

Honestly, if you don’t know my full name by now, you really don’t know me as well as you think you do. To me, the name is the first important fact about someone, especially when I consider them my ..friends... If I know your full name, why can’t you “friends” know mine, at least my 2 letters last name?

21.

I have a thing for speed like the rest of my family. I feel potent on the wheel. Some of my friends say I’m psycho at driving but actually, it’s because they annoy me when they’re in my car. I’m a pretty good driver normally. I actually raced with my dad once but I and a crappy car couldn’t beat him. So sad.

20.

Here's the thing about lying in my p.o.v You either find facts to back up your lie (equivalent to making your lie come true) or just hope that ..miraculously.. somehow, coincidences happen and they fit with your lie (it's very entertaining that way though). Oh, and don't lie when you have short-term memory because if you've been lying for years and good at it, your mind eventually has its own directories and files. Supposedly, there are three kind of lies: the useful, the humorous and the malicious. I believe white lie is okay and can be useful at the right time. Humorous lie is just something to spice up a dull life when used considerably. However,.. malicious lie.., now that's a ..mortal sin... I don't make malicious lie and don't like to hear it. And no, I'm not a professional liar (though I think there is such thing). How often do I lie? You tell me because right now, I could be lying about me lying. Sometimes, i feel like lying can be an art (but once again, stay away from malicious lies). People take drama classes but think about it, isn't it the same as lying, pretending to be someone else? So what if one's life is a stage and all you do is lie and lie and lie, as long as those lies are harmless? And just like acting, a believable lie is when you tell the lie and a part of you believe it too. Eh... sounds interesting and is worth of trying but once in a while when I caught myself lying, it's a tickle to my conscience. haha...

19.

I am somewhat introverted, despite how crazy and loud I can be sometimes. I like to ..spend time with myself.. and think over issues (yes, that means I talk to myself sometimes too. >.<) Perhaps that is why I don't like to be reached by ..telecommunication.. nowadays. Honestly, how many of you know my home phone numbers? Probably one or two but mind this, I turned off the ringing volume on the one in my room months ago. I hate the ..ringing.. so much, especially from rude people who call late at night & have no connections whatsoever to me. And my cell, hmmm... about 10 people know it (including my family members). Haven't seen me on AIM for months either now, have you? And myspace? Well, you never know when I'm on unless I messaged/commented you.

18.

I love Rain with a passion. When I was young, everytime it rains, you would be sure to catch me running around or riding on my bike, taking a "shower" (that's right, i take "shower" while riding a bike and trying not to fall. Don't ask me how. -_-"). I used to walk with my old sweethearts or just sit on a hill watching the entire city in the rain for ..hours... Then there was my balcony under my coconut tree, my favorite spot to sit and watch the artistically blurry streetlights and people in colorful raincoats taking shelter from the rain. But honestly, rain in ....U.S..... is never the same. It's so blah.

17.

I believe that we all have our own ..flaws.. so we can live together in harmony; and so when others look at us, they see ..familiarity... It's like an offer on our part so some can say, "Hey, I have something better than her" just like how sometimes we think, "Hey, I have something that she doesn't have." As ..self-centered and shallow.. as those might seem to be, sometimes, they're all we have to feel a little more confident and lively. So, embrace your flaws; they're a contribution to the world. ^.^

16.

I abnormally adore LAX. To me, it's a pretty nice place to hang out. It's probably because there are so many people from all over the ..world.. with diverse background happen to be together at that same place at the same time. It's fascinating to watch them, occasionally watching me back. >.< Some people ask me, "Isn't airport a sad place where you say ..goodbye.. to people. Sometimes even forever?" That's when I smiled back, "It's also a place where you welcome your loved ones back by your side. Sometimes even forever."

15.

I can eat so much in one day that I pack on 10 lbs by the end of the night. lol It's a ..hobby.. for people to read in the car while traveling, mine is eating in the car. It's the best thing to do while stuck in boredom right? RIGHT. mum mum mum

14.

If you cannot realize by now, I'm pretty easily amused by random facts. Like: how when two people walk together, there's a ..rhythm.. to it (It's left right left right together), and how some people actually think that because I wear dark sunglasses, I won't be able to see them staring (in a good or bad way) at me. Yes, it's ridiculous huh? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?

13.

I drive with ..two feet.. on free way... when there's ..traffic...

12.

So, umm... I'm a carnivore. Why? Because I like my steak as rare as whoever cooks it has the guts to leave it rare. Thus, only my dad so far is thee one to make my perfect steak, ..bloody red.. just the way I like it. Most of the time, I have to stand right next to the cook and tell/beg that person not to overdo it. lol.

11.

I have these random days when I just wake up, wanting to look ..ugly.. and go out with my gorgeous friends. It’s very intriguing to see how people treat me differently than the rest of my friends just because I don’t look as “hot” and I learn a lesson or two on that day, too.

10.

I literally ..bruise.. easily and sometimes, I don't know where they come from. I've had a bruise that's longer than 4 inches, or one that looks like a heart, and just recently, I got one that is bigger than a baseball ball right on my knee. Fascinating these bruises are to me, especially when they have different colors within one. XP

9.

My heart beats really loud in the stillness of the night. Once, I actually thought it was my mom tapping on my bed to wake me up. It scared me how loud it is. Most of the time, I'd feel like there's an earthquake because my body was shaken but it's just my heart thumping. My friends say that is because I'm too much of a ..hearty and romantic.. person. I say that I might have a ..heart problem... >.<

8.

I am the one who wishes upon the moon and if the earth’s pollution would actually decrease someday to let the stars shine once more in the city, I’d definitely make my wish upon a star, too.

7.

I also scribble on balloons with random facts or wishes then let them fly away and watch them until they disappear behind the clouds. I always wonder if there’s an exact same place where all my deflated balloons would land… and if there’s a handsome prince that finds them and reads all my silly comments and someday we’ll meet and… yeah, I should stop. -_-“

6.

Now to think of it, maybe I have a thing with balloons. I love filling my whole room with balloons and just let them float around. So far, I only tried to cover my bed area only. One day, you’ll see.

5.

I have a thing for beautiful pictures or art pieces of eyes. People say eyes are the window to your soul so I guess I like to look into people’s souls and understand them more. O.o

4.

I adore food, especially seafood [except fish. weird I know] and beef.I’m not into candy much except for ..chocolate..: from Toblerone, Twix, KitKat, all Hershey’s kisses to Ferrero Rocher [oh my], Anthon Berg, See’s, etc. You can tell I get excited already by just listing them. Yumm… I am also a sucker for my mom’s homemade smoothie, I love it. hehe I can eat all day long and gain like crazy but just one sleep overnight, I’ll be up all empty and ready to charge again. I know I am a pig. T.TIt will result eventually but hey, “Live life to the fullest.” Lol.

3.

I love to write down on a piece of paper all my ..resentment.. when I have no outlet, or deepest and darkest secrets that I’ve sworn not to tell, or my most ..embarrassing.. desires that could ruin me, and BURN it; then, let the ash be gone with the wind. It’s the best way to “cope” for me.

2.

I vent my teenage love problems on papers with words:poetry and prose. I wouldn’t call them masterpieces because, God knows, I am not that good. I just love the fact that they are my own creations in order to strengthen myself independently. I don’t know if it’s a good thing but try to guess how many I’ve written? ^.^

1.

I lately realized there’s something very ..mesmerizing.., makes me fall, about a guy who doesn’t afraid to show his emotional side; a little tear doesn’t hurt either as long as it’s at the right time right place and in the right situation. *sighs* I’m weird I know.
