I gambled tonight....!

It was POKERS....!!!!

I was invited to my friend's house to join a poker party tonight. That was soooooooo much fun. I loved playing pokers, actually gambling lol. At first, I hadn't had any idea about playing poker. I searched on the Internet but it just confused me more. I decided to ask David to show me how to play it. He had showed me a little of what he's known about pokers couple minutes before we headed to Danny's house. They own a big and awesome house with a lot of good stuffs. They have the basement where there are a large chilling room with X - Box 360, the Wii, a pool table, another room with drum, guitar and keyboard and some other couple rooms. We played pool for some time, then started playing poker which Alex just brought. We had to put 5 bucks to get chips to play.I thought that I would be a nerd watching them playing but it didn't. I actually got it really quickly. I won some couple hands which were one full house and some of two- pair hands ore straight hands. I also lost a lot because of my bad luck...! :( pretty sad huh? It was also pretty intense because some of my friends raised too much and everybody followed. But i loved that.
Actually, I lost more than I won but i had a good time enjoying tonight so much. One of my friend told us that he liked playing water poker , not play poker underwater lol but betting by drinking water. I told him It must have been so much tight because we had to go pee all the time lol and i suggested that banana poker must have been funner. lol. At the last minutes before David came to pick me up, i showed them my Vietnamese bills and they obviously liked them so bad, especially when they tried to tear them but failed because I had dare them to tear the bills. They told me to trade them some of bills with USA dollars, then I agreed. I got 5 bucks in total when trading with them. Basically, I went home with 40 cents after my last hand but i got more 5 bucks by trading my Vietnamese bills lol. that was fair, wasn't it?
Dave had to wait for me, actually for my business lol impatiently. We had a nice talk on the way home. I totally agreed with him that If life doesn't mean so much if your life is rich but happy. We shared a lot and I liked talking to him. I find him more than a Host Dad when talking to me!
Oh, by the way, I got my first salary last night by looking after Stephani's kids. Actually, it was really easy because the kids were not really annoyed.hehe. I just had Jay watch Harry Potter with me and Lily played with some dolls of Jordan, sometimes, she came to my messy room to play with my teddy bears. Jay didn't want her to watch movie just because it was PG -13 movie lol Good bro, Jay! Summer certainly hung out with her bestie, Jordy. Plus, Jay and Lily really liked my cheese which is Laughing Cow cheese that Melanie's mom sent me from California. Then Steph came and picked the kids up, of course, paid me 15$ lol. I really like kids, but not for me lol. You can send them to Michelle's house to hang out with me whenever you're busy and certainly, Michelle's fine with that, Steph. Honestly, I liked hanging out with them. If you hadn't paid anything for me, I also would have been willing to look after them for you! I don't really care about that. Thank you for my first salary so I could gamble tonight lol. I hadn't thought that you were the one who paid me my first salary. I appreciate that.
Ohh, I forgot. We also went to the Christmas tree farm to get a REAL Christmas tree for Mike. That was so experiencing for me. We actually didn't have much time but it was great to cut a real tree and carry it home. Thanks everyone for giving me an opportunity to experience that. I liked it.
I also did a lot of cleaning stuffs today. I vacuumed my hella messy room, changed my sheets, arranged my stuffs and cleaned the bathroom. My room looks so nice right now but I don't know how it will in next week because I can never keep it clean all the time. Why? Because I'm a TEENAGER lol
Alright! That was enough for today! I should go to bed now! Tomorrow is Sunday. I surely sleep in! lol... Possibly I'll get a new hair cut tomorrow but I still don't know what style I should have...! Can anyone give me an advise? lol Alright! Night Night everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Monday sucked...!

Mondays always suck. I hate Mondays because I have to go back to school after 2 day weekend chilling, sleeping in, eating and doing nothing much. Moreover, that fact makes me so slow in swimming. I guess I get used to not practicing in weekends so my legs are back to basic, not in the routine of working out.
I was back home in the tiring and exhausting mood. I had dinner with my family, then rushed into my laptop doing some stuffs which I think they could make me fun. I am totally lazy right now. Fortunately, I don't have any homework to do. Actually, I do but I was done with them some couple days ago because I had thought that they were due on that day. Sounds good huh? lol
This morning began with a windstorm making a big sound outside when I had been still in my bed, trying to sleep in a little bit before my alarm on my phone rang. [ I had set 3 alarms last night because I was worried that I couldn't get up this morning and had to call Alex not to pick up for dry lane again]. I tried to wake up. Waking up on Monday is also a big big big problem for me. Dang it! lol. Finally, I could do that.
I went to school and it was normal today excepted for I fell asleep in History class because my teacher talked alot lol. Sorry Mr Newman, I know that you try to give us knowledge but today my ears ignored you and my brain was busy hanging out with another thing which was more interesting than your lesson, my sleeping.


That was such a good idea to bring steak which Dad had made last night to school for lunch. All of my friends liked 'em but I didn't share too much [evil face lol]. Most of them thought it was weird to have steak with ketchup but it was really good, right, Jordy? I love your steak Dad!
The saddest thing I had today was that I received some pictures of my family party in Vietnam from my Dad in VN. There was everyone in my family enjoying an early Christmas party because Christmas will be on Monday in Vietnam but we cannot be off from schools or work because Christmas is not our tradition holiday. Those pictures revealed a lot of memories which made me miss them a lot. I saw my Mom's face, my little brother, my grandma and some of my cousins, aunts and uncles who are in my Dad's relatives. My little brother took a picture my favorite dish of that restaurant and asked me if I'm hungry when seeing that. I cried in a second which I thought that I would never do again. But I didn't know why tears were coming out! I really miss 'em!

My favorite cousin, my lil bro is always jealous because he thinks i love my cousin more than him. But actually, I love both

I know I used to have a lot of quarrels with my cousins but those were the things which made me miss them...!
Anyway, tears are dry right now. No more tears, I promise myself. I will begin a new day tomorrow which is much better than today...!

Hey, it's snowing...♥♥♥

Weekends are always exactly the same way to each other...! I slept in this morning. It was really cold. I had thought that it would have been snowing so I got up and looked outside the windows but it did not... Hopelessly, I came back to sleep, actually, I just lay there and closed my eyes. Being distracted, I couldn't return to sleep. Suddenly, my little sister knocked the door and told me it was snowing. I got up quickly and rushed into the windows. Wow, it was awesome! Snow fell lightly on the ground. I said to my mom that I wanted to touch that. She told me to go get my clothes on and then we took a buncha pictures. That was so cool. My hands were freaking numb but that's alright. I enjoyed it really much...! That was the first time I had ever seen snow!

I ♥ SNOW so bad!

But Michelle S told me that it's pretty but it makes traffic like a real bitch. lol. In fact, my Mom and I went to the mall this afternoon and I could understand that. She drove really hard when she ran into the ditches and all of the cars were moving super slowly. It took us more time than it used to do to get to the mall.
I had a birthday party of my friend tonight. It was kinda fun although we didn't have a lot of people because of this crappy weather. We played pool, bowling and talked a lot. We had a great time. I bought my friend a Tee printed " YOU LOOK LIKE MY NEXT GIRLFRIEND" on it. There was another one printed " WAIT FOR IT GETS BIGGER". lol I found it so nasty so I didn't pick it out.
Dad picked me up at Park Bowl then we went straight home after doing some turns around in the snow park. That was fun but dizzy. lol
Finally, I saw snow! Finally, I touched it... Finally I found everything covered with white and I love them so much!

Messy day...!

I don't know whether today is a bad day for me... I just felt something sad. I totally scoot up my Mom's schedule by missing the bus this morning. Sorry mom, I won't do it again, I promise! I woke up at 6 and I thought that I would have had enough time to shower and pack my stuffs but it wasn't. When I packed my swim stuffs, I looked at the clock... OMFG, it was 6:38 and I rushed into the kitchen, grabbed my lunch and ran to the bus stop. But it was late. Knowing that it wouldn't help anything by keeping walking to the bus stop because I had missed the bus, I walked back to my house. I was a little bit surprised because my Mom didn't do anything like drying her hair, taking a shower and the lights were off as usual when I left the house every morning. I thought she was still sleeping and I was afraid to wake her up. So, I called Dad and told him the problem. Finally, Mom got up and took me to school. She didn't work today cuz she was feeling bad. I gave myself a hard time by making her take me to school at that time, when she should have been in the bed and relaxed. Sorry Mom again!

School was not that bad! I heard from my Viscom teacher that one of the iMac desktops in my classroom was stolen last Wednesday which was Early release day. That was so bad, wasn't it? I felt bad for him because he possibly has to replace the district the amount of $2000. By the way, one of my classmates who also likes texting texted to her Mom to tell her the story and was discovered by my teacher. Consequently, her phone was kept and I bet she had to spend a long time to persuade my funny teacher returning it.

Swimming was better. I think my protein stuff took a part to help me. The hardest part today was that we had to grab the kick- board and swam with our kicking legs in the water. I didn't count but I think we probably did 600 feet with that. My legs are exhausting and my stomach told me that it was time to feed it.

My Dad picked me up and went to the Little Ceasars to get our dinner which was pizza.

I HATE HOT and READY PIZZA

It pissed my Mom off tonight. My Mom couldn't stand cheese and its smell so she had had Dad order a pizza which was half - Hawaiian and half - BBQ chicken. and one Pepperoni for Jordan.But I didn't know what the heck they did with the Hawaiian and BBQ Chicken one which turned it to be a totally different kind of pizza. I know how much my Mom had expected to have BBQ Chicken tonight but it really disappointed her when she tasted that pizza assuming that was nasty. I felt bad again when seeing her disappointment. I was really sorry for her about that. I was also confused when seeing my Mom upset because I didn't know what to do for her. I hate that feeling. That was the reason why I was silently eating my dinner. I was worried if she could eat anymore because she told that her mouth was full of the taste of cheese and she couldn't eat anything at that time, especially, she was not feeling good today. I hate Pizza because it made my Mom like that.

I didn't have much homework tonight though. Maybe I'd better go to bed earlier to avoid that situation happening again. I have weight training practice tomorrow which is called " dry - lane" by my coach.
Ok everyone! That's a little bit update for today! I will update my blog everyday as much as possible. I'm glad to see that I got some comments of you guys.

Now, it's Jordan bedtime. I heard my Mom tell her to get ready for bed. It possibly turns out to be my bedtime too. lol

P/s : Mommy, I hope you will get well soon! I'm sorry about everything! Love ya!r

Raining...!

It's raining dogs and cats tonight...! It's going to be really cold in next days, I know that, so I had prepared enough coat and sweater to keep my body warm, and I also know that my host family have done a lot of stuffs for me to keep my heart warm from these winter days which I spend alone...! I love that!


Today is a normal day. I was back to my daily routine after some days of Thanksgiving break. I had expected that It would be lazy for me to be back to school and It was true lol. I did oversleep this morning until Alex, one of my friends in SQHS, called me to tell that his Dad was on the way to my house to pick me up for weight training( read Michelle's blog and u will know why I have to do weight training lol). I was waken up by Alex's call so I did some stuffs, and went to the bus stop. Holy cow! I was so freezing!

School was still normal, even lazy. I was invited to go the birthday party of my friend next Saturday and I'm really excited about it cuz this is the first time I have a friend who invited me to go to his birthday party in US. I hope it will be fun.

I had a debate about " Drinking age lowered to 18" in my citizenship class, which I hate it to death. But I did it really well by giving a lot of arguments and responses. I felt like throwing something heavy on my shoulders because finally I was done with that stuff. No worries bout it anymore!

Algebra 2 is always the funniest class. That's my favorite. I think it's because my teacher is so young that all of my classmates find it fun to tease her! She began the class by asking everyone about their holiday and we overturned the situation by asking her what she did with her boyfriend on the holiday. She was really embarrassed but had to tell the story about them. Her face was really red! Poor herrrrrrrrrrrr! lol. And one of my friends kept telling everyone that I haven't seen snow yet. yeah! I'm looking forward to it so much! I wanna know the feeling when I touch snow, walk on the street which is covered with snow in two sides, play snow ball fights or make a snow man! My friend told me that I would probably not like it because it makes me wet but I think I will like it so much! I still cant wait for going to skiing and snowboarding with David! Yahooooooo!

About my swim team, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans seemed to make my body so heavy that I couldn't swim really well lol. Actually, I took a few days of rest so that I was not flexible anymore and It took me so hard to get used to it. I hope that tomorrow is better! I like swimming and I don't wanna quit it, which I had thought on the night going back home after the first practice. By the way, I bought a protein stuff. I think it would help me !

Back to home, I felt really comfortable. Seemed like I get accustomed to this place where I hardly slept for the first couple nights I came here! You didn't know that how much it has changed, Mom and Dad. I can feel home here right now and I know that this is the place where I lay down after tiring days, laugh out loud when we spend time together, share all my emotions. We played a small game which was Jordy's math homework tonight. It was so fun. While we were packing lunch together, I got my Dad's eyes. I knew my secret! shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone!

Now, I'm in my room, talking to my Mom in Vietnam. She still misses me really much, so do I and I know it never ends up.....But now, I have a really warm family here in this year. I love everyone!
