shopping = happi

Mon- Feb 21, 2011

I went shopping yesterday on my way back from San Antonio at the outlet mall because I haven't been in a while. I totally forgot about this however being the holiday weekend of Presidents' day (which really isn't a "holiday" to me per-say..) Anyhow, I didn't it out until I was already stuck in the parking lot traffic. Kids all over the place, shoppers from everywhere, it was nutso. There was a kid in a batman costume that was running around pretending he was looking for crime. It was cute, that I tried to take a picture of it, and he just disappeared. Fast lil shit. I did manage to buy stuff from every store I went into though. All the fitting rooms had like 10 people in line so I did what any impatient person would do.. I tried my shirts on in the mens department ;) haha

4 button downs, 7 boxer briefs, 1 bow tie, 2 coffee mugs, 1 duster, 1 patch of carpet, kitchen utensils, and $200 poorer.

Do you like the shirt at least!?

Til tomorrow, I leave this question for my subscribers, "What the most expensive clothing you've bought!?" [o_O ]

valentines day.. meh

Mon- Feb 14, 2011

Happy Valentines day. Who the hell invented this day anyhow? Son of a bitch. What another way to con men into failing in relationships. *sigh. You singles are lucky.. lucky dogs. With a day like this, the expectation levels are through the roof. And then there's the competition aspect of it! For example: If Bonnie's boyfriend does something dramatic and creative, then you won't hear the last of it so you have to over do that, but Trisha's boyfriend is doing this and totally over did Bonnie's boyfriend already, so now you're back on the chopping block, and its called the cycle of FML. Anyhow.. just venting along the frustrations. I to had to go through that same cycle.. "what do i get my gf?! how can i be creative!? ughh.. difficult i say, difficult!!" Damn you Jarrod's and kay jewelers and your commercials! But i managed to get something together and I think she liked my gift.. i hope at least. but girls.. if you want to awe your guys.. then you too could show appreciation.. Guys usually don't get anything for Vday so we usually don't expect it. and gettign something when it's unexpected.. well that's sex.

So I received this from the gf.. and it made my day :) thanks <3 she remembers my favorite food is salmon.. that's good, right? :) ... but I still say the week before is still stressful as shiat!

Casino weekend

Mon- Feb 7, 2011

Went to the Casino this weekend with a couple of friends. Imagine. 3 grown ass men in a mini cooper traveling to a Casino while there's a freeze being reported, 20 degree outside. lol Crazy? Yes we are

When it comes to gambling.. I'm a bit of a crazy man. lol I told my friends..

"First thing right when we get into the casino... I'm going to put $200 on Red."

So we get into the casino, and we went straight to roulette and did it.. BAM $200 up!
however, we get to blackjack and then it's a roller coster from there.. but we have fun regardless.
at the end of the day, i managed to get my first purple chip $500! that was a first time.
It was a blast. I was big balling. I was playing $25 - $250 hands on black jack! So at the end of the night, I got up to $800.
Well that's cool but we didnt have a place to stay. So we hustled the hose into giving us a free stay at the hotel. we were able to get half a day free. So once I got to the Inn and saw a lady there, i decided to see if I can work my charm.. and presto, the half day became a full day. That following day, we dared our friend Mike to jump in this frozen fountain, and its like 17 degree out. LOL just watch and laugh. I apologize right now, I dont know why my laughing sounds like that. so i apologize in advance.




after he got out, he was all cut up. So was it worth $50!? for us watching, yes, for him, probably not. but you owuld be happy to know that the next day we drove to another casino and i won another $600! So I was up $1400 at that point.. money money money. we had ourselves a goooood feast at the casino buffet, which i have to mention was a seafood buffet! All in all, that shit was fun, the food was great and extra money is the most fantastic thing ever!

collections.. why do we collect?

Thurs - Feb 3, 2011

Everyone collects something, whether it's coins, shoes, bras, shot glasses, snow globes or even lint. Whatever it is, it's a fascinating hobby that we've acquired, for some reason or another over time. Why do we do it? *shrugs* I dunno. Maybe it keeps your sanity, maybe you have nothing better to do, or maybe you don't even know it yet.

I collect New Era caps. I dunno why. I like them, I like the colors, I like the easy storage. I haven't worn half of them, but they're there when I need them. Am I still going to buy more? Probably. Am I crazy or just a compulsive spender!? Maybe a lil' bit of both, if you ask my gf.

Til tomorrow, I leave this question for my subscribers, "what do you collect?" [o_O ]

The transition home..

Weds - Feb 2, 2011

Recently I was offered a job to work from home. Bad ass right? Yes, very bad ass. I used to work from home with DirecTV, but it was actually working remotely, meaning from ANYWHERE. With this right now, I'm only working from the house. Can't do anything else. The cool thing about it is, I save gas, I save on time for lunch, I save on lunch, I get to sit in front of the tube for breaks, and last but not least, I get to pee in my own stall! lol. Yes!! jealously runs through your veins, I know. But there's a downside. What is that down side? Well.. I will be at home pretty much ALL THE FREAKING TIME!! But anyhow. I'm happy. I'm at home. I have a little spot next to my bed, next to the window. It's amazing.... so far at least =\ I am working from 4pm-1am.. so.. meh


Til tomorrow, I leave this question for my subscribers, "what do you want to work from home?" [o_O ]

Let's talk about love today

Monday - Jan 31, 2011

What's the deal with this word "LOVE"? People love it, people hate it, some don't even wanna know what it is, some spend their whole lives looking for it. Now the type of love I'm going to be talking about today is the type between partners.. Aka lovers.. Aka bf/gf/whatever koolaide flavor you like
Now people have asked me recently,

"Minh, how do you do it?"
"How do you move on after a long relationship?"
"How do you deal with this?"
"How do you make it work?"
"How do you know, when you've met the one?"
"What do you believe is love?".


Well, I'll explain "my" way of relationship thinking to you. Maybe you'll like it and maybe you won't, however, its relationship common sense, come on now, use your brain. So, in every relationship that I'm in regardless of whether we're dating or already bf/gf, a week in, a year in, I put in 110% effort. If anything, that's the best piece of advice I can give to anyone. You should get out of a relationship what you put in. Well.. you're suppose to at least. An analogy of this is like investing in stock; you invest time/money into it but if u dont make money out of it, u'd take ur money out of it, otherwise, you stay in there right?. (not to say that love is an investment.. But.. Isn't it??) lol

So.. "Why would I put 110% into every relationship, that's too much effort?". Well, if you put all that effort into it, and it doesn't work out, then you have no regrets. You can't say "son of a biscuit, I should've did this or that" because, well, you've already done everything you can, right?

And this answers my next question of "How do you move on after a long relationship? Don't you need time to get yourself back together?"
Well this answer, pretty much answers all the other questions. I know what I put into this and it's not working, so why do I need time to mope? Why should I allow myself to be depressed and sad when I couldn't do anything else to make this relationship work? I always tell myself after a relationship ends, "What more could I have done? Nothing, because I did it all." Then I start working on the mind game. I delete emails, numbers, facebooks, pictures, etc. Everything that I need to erase the memory for a quicker return. It's natural to me now. I'm strong enough to leave and move on. I say, you pick urself up and take care of yourself. You should only be worried about number 1 at this point (that's you).

"Well how do you make it work?"

So, it's not to say that if something's really bothering me, that I'm going to leave right away without working at it. No that's not it. I'll help out and work towards it, but there's a line. For example: if my Gf was gaining weight and it depressed her then started to affect our relationship because of moodswings and what have you, I would (and have) start working out and do it with her or, try to do more active things or try to cook better or whatever to motivate her to work out or to take care of herself.. But when you're the one doing it and your partner isn't "trying", there's nothing you can do. It takes two to row a boat. If only one person is paddling, you'd be going no where, except in circles. It takes two to tango kiddo. So put in it what you want out from it. Keep your partner happy.. keep yourself attractive for them... Be spontaneous. Being in a relationship doesn't give you a pass to be lazy or to let go of yourself. Shallow or not, it's being said. I rather be straight forward other than beating behind the bush. That bush is already trimmed so stop beating it. If you're happy being miserable, then do what you do, however, If I'm not happy, my gf will know.

"So how do you know when you've met the one?"

My belief is that there isn't such a thing as "the one". You can be with anyone. It just depends on how much you want it, and how much they want it. The issue is more of, finding someone that's willing to put that same effort into it than you, if not more. "Yes", there will be problems and arguments along the way, but that's life in a relationship. How you deal with it and take it in and move pass that is totally up to you, in which your relationship depends on it. I know sometimes people get annoy by things their bf/gf does and such, but think about the big picture here. Are you really going to end a perfectly fine relationship because your gf chews with her mouth open? Probably not, but you should tell her you have an issue with it, and its not flattering. Are you going to end your relationship because your bf goes through your text messages without you knowing? Probably should, cus that's crossing the line of trust which a relationship is based on. You have to know what to look past and what lines to draw, however, you also have to see things through your partner's point of view and have an opened mind. You live and learn by your mistakes/mishaps.. Nothing will be perfect, however, it can be close. So it brings us back to the whole "putting 110%" into it at all times.


"what do you believe is love.."

I'd tell you what.. Love is when I'm happy, that you're happy. Love is when I tell you how my day was, and you actually listen and care that I got robbed by a leprechaun. Love is when I'm in trouble, but I hope you're okay. Love is that you're willing to learn things that I love, and vis versa. Love is when you can make me smile for any reason. Love is dental floss. Love is trying.

But.. like Tina Turner said... "whats love got to do with it.." She's right. A relationship should be based on capability, trust, loyalty, happiness, and other lil things. I believe that Love should only be the benefit of a working relationship. :)

Til tomorrow, I leave this question for my subscribers, "what do you think love is?" [o_O ]

It's Let's support Tina Turner week!
