Annoyed.

2013-04-29T23:51:00.003-05:00

Feeling annoyed although I should be sleeping for school in the am ---

I feel like shutting the world out. Closing my door on everyone else. I don't need people telling me how to live my life and whatnot. This is my life, not yours. I don't need you to tell me how I am, you don't even know jack. I cannot wait to run it off tomorrow at the gym.

I hate people. Period.

Thanks for making me feel wanted, briefly.

I was trying to think of a name for this post, but for some reason... I just couldn't think of one. So here I go again on a rant - but this time it's about "love."

Here's a little something you all probably didn't know about me, I grew up fast, and when I say fast, I mean... I did a lot of bad things at an early age, fell in love at an early age, and my maturity level was a bit higher than most (or so I hope it was, haha). Anyways, the point I'm trying to point here is that, falling in love at an early age(I believe it started at 14??), I was always in a relationship (& NO, I'm not bragging or am proud of this) but, I can only recall brief moments when I would be single for a very brief moment too. Anywho, my last relationship was a 4yr relationship, that ended mutually in 2011. & Here I am. It's March of 2013... It's been about a little over a year since I've been by myself, & I'm actually very happy being single. But I guess sometimes you just miss that someone being there for you...

So, last night.... I went out to my friends birthday party, & I usually go with my cousins but none of them were up for it. So instead, I asked a friend, let's call him "Jen" (he was given this name this night because his name starts with a J and is 3-letters long, and this girl accidentally called him "Jen," lol ). The funny thing is that I've only hung out with Jen like... two or three times before (bc I was still with my ex, so I barely went out) and we don't normally talk/text on a normal basis. SO, he decided to tag along because in is words, "I said I was gonna come hang out with you, so why not?" Anywho, we drunk... Exchange driving (I swore, I don't know how I managed to drive at all that night, please don't do this!) because we were both a bit intoxicated. The plan was to predrink at my friend's place and then bar hop in Mpls. Obviously, she got too drunk, so since she and her bf were riding with me and Jen, we went back to her place to drop them off.

I'm still unsure how Jen and I managed to get back to his place, but whoa... I still laugh at it now. LOL! The whole entire time while driving to places, we exchanged a few words, he grabbed my hands a few times, and stole kisses. We held many interesting conversations that I'd never expected to come from him.... Anyways, let's just cut the story short and say that I didn't get home till 5am (& NO, we didn't do anything) and since he was being a punk, I left my phone with him because it was late and I didn't feel like fighting for my phone, so I left it with him.

So here's the point of my story/night --- Why does this happen to me all the time? When I meet someone that I may have a thing for, I end up missing him the next day. Like, what happened last night felt like a dream to me. I can somewhat remember what happened, what we said to each other, his actions and mine.

Like...... Inside, I'm telling myself to not be this fool and don't download it so fast, that it's only a phase for the moment. But then again, I'm like.. No, it wasn't. But I don't know how to feel. However, I do know that these mixed emotions will disappear within a few days. It makes me sad because it reminds me of how good it feels to be wanted and to have someone make you feel good about yourself. I hate it when this happens to me, because I don't know what to think. But I tell myself, he probably does this to all girls... I shouldn't feel like I'm someone special, because who knows if he even means all that he's saying.... I'm not gonna lie, it felt really nice to know that someone, just someone..... gave you the attention you wanted and made you feel wanted; it felt really good and maybe that's the only reason why I woke up this morning realizing how much I missed this affection from someone of the opposite sex.

I know I'm not gonna let this night get the best of me, but.... It's just me feeling these emotions at the moment, and I know that it will soon disappear. I just had to get these thoughts out of my head because it's been bugging me this whole day. So, I'm gonna end it like this.....

Sometimes when we unexpectedly receive affection that we've always been familiar with, we are reminded by how nice it feels to feel this certain way. However, as good as it can get -- I'm gonna turn the opposite way and leave it as it is. I'm gonna let it be because I know this fairy tale has no happy ending. I didn't think I'd have a title for this post, but I guess I've came up with it just now --- Thank you for making me feel wanted, briefly. So...... Jen, thank you for a great night. Thanks for tagging along with me when everyone backed out on me. I had fun & I hope you did as well. What happened that night, we're gonna seal it shut because what happened in the car, stays there ;)

Good night love bugs.

PS- He did end up dropping off my phone the next morning. We talked for a short 5 minutes. & before leaving, he says..."It was fun, I hope we can do it again."

Last night with birthday girl and her people.

(& No, Jen isn't in the picture.)

Last night.

Because I'm nice.... I found some pictures and videos that Jen took in my phone, and here's a short clip of one of the videos. & Yes, you'll see and notice who Jen is. Enjoy :)

Life, itself.

2013-02-24T17:13:00.002-06:00

As I sit in the library at school on a gorgeous Sunday late afternoon... I think of how and who I have becomed today... In some ways, I find it shocking how I even ended up where I am right now with life. I think back to my mistakes and shrug it off as something to learn from. I think back to my regrets, and remind myself that sometimes... some things are worth taking a risk for, but you just gotta do it to find out if it was worth it or not. I don't know, maybe it's just me thinking too much, but I have really succumbed my head with endelss thoughts about me and my life.

I think back to all the relationships I've had so far, and what I've picked up from each indiviudal guy that held a place in my timeline. I look back upon the many great memories of my sisters and I... but as I look right and left..I realize that they're all married and I'm still left sitting in my mother's nest... Sometimes I question myself if I will ever get married? At times I find myself doubting that I will ever get married because marriage is simply just too over-rated. But at times, I am flustered with the thoughts that I know I will not live this life alone, and rather with the "man of my dreams" who will be different from the others, and who will love me unconditionally. But then again, I laugh at these thoughts... because who really knows what the future holds --- no one.

It's only been about a month since I've been attending this college and I already feel like it's taught me a lot about myself. A lot about being a female and feminism. Though I am still slowly adjusting to this school, I like it a lot! The professors, the students, the school buildings, everything about it.... I'm hoping that my sister and I will both get accepted into our program this Fall. I am nervous, but I am ready for the challenges that awaits me. Since attending this college, I have been writing 2 page essays every single day!!! I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm not a writer myself, so I find it hard to just bullshit a paper. LOL.... Jk, I don't bullshit on my papers, at least not all of them :) I am overwhelmed with the papers, it does get pretty intense!

However, spring break is slowly approaching us! I will be in Chicago, celebrating my cousin's birthday. It's been a while since I've gone outside of MN. So this mini getaway will be the perfect vacation for me! We will be staying in the Queen Suite at the Inn of Chicago for 3 nights. This hotel is located in the heart of downtown Chicago, so it's literally in the center of all the awesome tourist attractions (Milleunium Park, Navy Pier, Museums, Magnificent Mile)!! I am so ready to get away from here for a little while and just not have to worry about life.... They have a skyline terrance on the 22nd floor that overlooks the beautiful city of Chicago and an InnBar Cocktail Lounge inside the hotel too. Spring break, please hurry :)

Anywho, I think I will leave it short here. Time to hit home and read some more homework materials -- boo!! Have a great day folks!

Inn of Chicago.

Skyline terrance, isn't it gorgeous!?!

Haters love me.

2013-02-17T23:49:00.000-06:00

Hello all!

OMG. It's been fo-evaaaaaa since I last posted. Sorry :( Life is busy. Hope everyone is doing good because I've been doing aweeeesome! Anywho, before I sleep.. I need to get this out of my head because it's bugging the crap out of me. So, here goes.....

Have you ever had "haters" that would always leave nasty comments on your pictures? And as much as you would like to comment something ugly right back, you decide that you're not gonna jump on the ugly train and comment something negative back, so instead you say something to make them feel stupid instead? Yeah. I'm having one of those right now. & It's not even like this is the first time this certain person has done this to me. I'm not letting it get the best of me, but I just need to vent about it because.... well, it's pretty annoying when that person repetitively does it. Like, it gets old and annoying, obviously.

But what can you say, right?? Haters just love me, simple as that. It's funny how a simple self-image of yourself can bring so much hate in someone that they feel they have to harass you by saying something immature and ignorant. Sad how low people have put themselves. I will laugh this off because.... well, homeboy is just mad homegirl is cute :) But it's all gucci, I don't have to worry about it. & If he continues to let them ugly words out of his mouth, I hope he doesn't expect me to sit here like a dog because I will say something ugly the next time it happens. I can tolerate a lot of things, but not when it comes to plain ignorance, especially when coming from a "grown man," or so I think....

Grow up. Don't make me step to my next level and shut you up. I don't need to put you in your place, and you don't need to always comment negative things on my photos. If yo ain't got nothin' nice to say, then I suggest you shut that ugly trap of yours, or I can always help you too.

Okay, done ranting for the night. I feel more relieved now. & I can sleep peacefully now. Thank goodness.... So folks, let the haters hate. When they feel intimidated, what else are they gonna do but say something to bring you down. Let them hate, we only aim to please the ugly :)

Kiss this, my lovely haters :)

Long over-due.

2012-10-02T12:39:00.001-05:00

Sorry I've been gone for too long. Life has been busy and my schedule is cray cray! Feels good to be back though.... Hope all have been doing well. I've been doing okay, the usual. It's half past noon and I still haven't eaten anything yet :( Time to get "brunch." I probably won't be here as often as I would, but I promise I will try my hardest to drop a few lines every now and then. Follow me on my instagram: catchingnancyy.

Talk to you all later :)

Updates!

2012-03-29T10:09:00.001-05:00

Hi my loves,

I just realized that I haven't been on here for the longest time!! So here's an update about what's been going on with life...

School is going great. My grades look good, so that means a nice GPA :) Life is life, it keeps going whether or not if you like it... My diet has been doing good. I've been back hitting up the gym too so that helps a lot. Love is love.... Single and boring!?!?! Is this how being single is suppose to feel? Lol, kidding. It's been almost 2 months since I last spoke to my "boo thang." I miss him a lot. It's been hard, but you know -- I gotta do this... Only time can mend this broken heart.

We email each other off and on, but since he claims that he's "no good" with e-mailing, I just sent him my last email last week? And received his late email a few days ago. So that's it, that's the end of us :'( It's okay.. I understand. We need time to refuel ourselves and to cope with our own broken hearts. **SIGHS** If only.......

Okay, I'm done preaching about him............ I really don't know what to talk about!?!?! Lol. I'm at a lost for words. Anyways, it's almost noon... I need to get out of school and head to my best friend, the GYM!!! I'm kinda starting to get back into the "dating" scene to get over him... It's KINDA working, but you know.. There are moments when I just break down because I feel like I have no other connection but with him, and only him. Aren't I suppose to stop thinking about him!?!? Lol.. Stupid head of mine! Anyways, time to eat my snack and then head to the gym for a vigorous workout... Good bye and until next time, take care!

Love always,
Nancy

Back again!

2012-02-15T09:23:00.001-06:00

Hi everyone!!

Whoa, I didn't realize I was gone for that long... My apologies.. Life has definitely been getting the best of me. Anywho, I hope everyone had a fun and safe Valentines day... As for me, I spent my Valentines at the library with my little brother, studying. Haha, what a way to spend the holidays huh?

Anywho, my left eye is annoying the creepers out of me!! It's red and has somewhat pain to it as well.. It's also very sensitive to the light. Sucker. But yeah, took my A&P lab examination bright and early this morning at 7:45am, so now here I am, at school, waiting for my next class to start at noon. I hope I bombed my exam..??

Why do I feel so tired and exhausted? I was hoping to run to the gym after school, but with this annoying red eye, I don't think I can stand the nasty sweating air in the gym with this eye! So I'm hoping the redness will clear up by tomorrow so I can pay a visit to the gym... Oh yeah! That just reminded me..... I started a diet.. Today marks ONE WEEK of it.. Seems to be going pretty well... Just that some of my cravings are starting to kick in, but I can do this... It's pretty much a "watch what you eat" diet, but the diet is pretty strict and MANY limitations... But I can do this.... So far I've lost almost 10 lbs so I guess that's good?

Anyways, I'll let you guys go.... I think I'm gonna go play some online games.... Haven't done that in years! Have a good day everyone :)

On a short note.

2011-12-07T16:02:00.002-06:00

Hey guys, I can't really believe it's already DECEMBER!

Anywho, remember my last post about me breaking up with my boyfriend of four years? I'm sad to announce that I've made the breakup official. I'm sad that it had to happen the way it did.

Therefore, this post will be short, ending it like this...........

My Thanksgiving weekend and more!

2011-11-28T15:36:00.002-06:00

Hopefully you all had a great Thanksgiving feast with your family. I hope that you guys spent your Thanksgiving day wisely and spent it with those of whom you are truly thankful for. I sure did have a great Thanksgiving along with some delicious family secret recipe for our turkey stuffing! This year, my family decided not to go all out on food and deserts for Thanksgiving, like we always do (we decided to save that for Christmas), therefore we just had our delicious turkey and stuffing, some goat curry-like dish, and some boiled chicken. I was hoping that I would be able to take some pictures of all the good food we had, but sadly I was super busy that I didn’t even bother doing so. That means no Thanksgiving photos, sorry :(

Anyways – a friend of mine from Oklahoma was in town and wanted to hang out and hit up the club, so my ladies and I decided to go out with him and his guys. It’s been such a long time since I last seen him, about 4 years now?? So it was definitely great seeing him again and catching up on life. It’s always good to see old faces again, it’s like you get a sudden rush of flashbacks – good times, of course!! So, I decided to be nice and share some of these clubbing photos with you all, obviously I won’t show ALL of them because, well…. let’s not get too personal now. Enjoy them!

I'm ready!

As you can tell, someone’s drunk!

My good friend of 7 years!!

Can someone please tell me what’s going on?

My friend, SunnyX, who was visiting from Oklahoma.

Don’t really know what she’s trying to do!?!

Someone’s feeling good….

Don’t remember what he was saying!!

You can tell we ended the night on a good note because of this picture! Mwuahahaha..

On a totally different note…..I feel like my 4 year relationship is coming close to an end. I never thought I’d be saying this, but I just feel like it’s that time. I hope I don’t sound too naïve and selfish, but I honestly think that we’ve been together for so long now that it’s getting kind of boring. You know what makes it worse is that he lives out of state, so I barely get to see him too. I know I should be patient because he sure is patient with me, but it’s not even about being patient anymore. Don’t worry, I’m not cheating on him nor do I have someone else waiting for me, I’m definitely not that type of girl nor do I tolerate stuff like that either, but I just feel like everything is starting to be a routine. I know I shouldn’t just look at what we have at this present time, but still…. Somewhat, I feel like we’re both slowly growing apart from each other. I’m almost speechless and at a loss for words because even I can’t explain the feelings that I am feeling inside. He’s such a good and loving guy, I’m afraid I might make the wrong decision. However, I must be true to myself and go with my guts. Maybe this mutual break-up will help us better understand if our relationship was meant to be or not. *Sighs* Anyways, I think I’ll leave it short here as I ponder away on my endless thoughts.. Have a great day everyone….

The first time he came to visit me, Valentines in 2008 :)

The last time I saw him, May 2011. I miss you KSVaaj :(

Busy weekends!

2011-11-21T17:59:00.002-06:00

Before I get started, I just wanted to say....

Happy 3rd birthday to my princess, Milan GaoHmong Lao :)
Seems just like yesterday, my sister and brother in law were blessed with this little darling! I can't believe she's already three! Soon enough, she'll be going to school. It makes me sad to see my fat girl all grown up now... She's such a smartie pants and with such a quick mouth... Good luck to her future "boyfriendsssss." Anyways, I just wanted to start off by wishing my "mama" a happy birthday. I'm so blessed for such a cute, adorable, smart, and generous little niece. "On-shee Nan-she" loves you so much :)

Birthday girl dressed and ready for her birthday party!

Here's the snow white cake that my sister-in-law and I made for her!

She's so cute!!!

Since part of her middle name is Hmong, my sister (mother of the birthday girl) and I brainstormed up ideas for the cupcake... So then my sister-in-law and I designed these Hmong inspired cupcakes! Oooh, and I can't forget the best part.. These cupcakes have whipped strawberry filling, yes they're all home-baked and home-made! It was deliiiiiiiicioous!!

Birthday princess and I!!

Princess Milan and her 2 aunties!!

Busy weekend.

I kinda hate holidays that are back to back.. So much cooking and cleaning!!!! Anywho, I hope everyone had a great and safe weekend.. I spent my weekend baking 75+ cupcakes for my nieces' birthday and did lots of pipping!! I'm glad I have a short week of school this week.. But then.. BAM! Another long and busy weekend up ahead too! Jeebus, Hmong people eat too much. Lol.

So yeah, mom has to get her surgery done soon.... I'm waiting for it to be scheduled and done soon so that I won't have to worry about her. I love her so much.. I know she's a strong woman and she'll do just fine :) I think we're just waiting for my brother to call the Docs and schedule a time. I hope my mom doesn't think too much of it because she's one of those people who tends to think A LOT! I understand why she would do that, because she's such a kind and generous woman, but I think sometimes mom over-think things.. I'm just glad it's nothing major, just minimal :)

Anyways--
I think I'll leave it short here.. My eyes hurt from this darn computer screen and my butt is numb to it's core! So till then, good bye my loves.

My 3-day weekend.

2011-11-13T18:17:00.000-06:00

Hi loves,

Oh boy! I guess my intention of a "busy" weekend didn't turn out quite as I thought it would. Here are some photos from my weekend. Enjoy :)

Decided to spend my Veterans day cleaning out the garage, since I'll be parking my new baby in there!

My adorable niece, Milan, she demanded me to put lipstick on her bc she said it was "mai-mai" (pretty). Hehe.. She's such a smart little girl :)

Decided to go over to my sister's place for some chips, dips, drinks and a movie!

I cleaned my whole entire room!!

A peek at my jewlery chest!

Although my weekend was a tad bit boring, overall I'm glad I was pretty darn productive! I was conversating with my mom the other day and I told her that I plan on doing some Fall cleaning around the house before the snow hits, and so far - I'm glad to say that I'm about 80% done!

So, obviously Thanksgiving is coming up soon! I can't wait to make our turkey because I believe it's the BEST turkey I've ever had. It's BOMB! Don't trust me? Come on over during Thanksgiving :) Hehe.. I'm thankful for many things this year. That being said, be on the lookout for my "Thankful" blog later on. I hope each and every one of you guys had a great Veteran's day and weekend. Ooh, before I go, I did a short video on my new ride for my sister whom is 300+ miles away... If you're curious, check out my channel: www.youtube.com/CatchingNancyy . Have a great night everyone!

2011-11-10T13:12:00.000-06:00

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Since my early class was cancelled this morning, that gave me plenty of time to "beautify" myself for school. Now, I'm not one of those girls who would wake up hours before class and pack on a bunch of makeup for school. I usually like my school makeup to be simple and plain - some bronzer, blush, and lipstick would do! And indeed, that's what I did exactly! Since I don't normally and haven't curled my hair for a super long time now, I decided to add some style to my hair. I did some very light and my definition of "fluffy" curls today. I didn't use any hairspray because I kind of hate how it holds onto the curls... I think what I mean is that I want DEAD CURLS... In my opinion, I think they're much more sexier that way! & To complete my look, I added a touch of my Ruby Red lipstick and my all time FAVORITE white hoop earrings!! If you know me, you'd know that I truly adore HOOP earrings, see.... you're learning something about me already along the way :)

Anywho, I'm glad I'm off school tomorrow (Veteran's Day)!! That means a lazy 3-day weekend for me - yayy!! Actually, I lied.. I might be busy. Hm, I kind of want to get some shopping done today! I hate it when I shop for unnecessary things. Okay, I'll leave it short here because it's time for me to go home and pretend like I'm gonna be busy doing something! Haha. Ooh, actually.. I do want to go out for drinks tonight with the ladies.. I'll have to give them all a call. Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

Let's talk brows!

2011-11-09T11:16:00.000-06:00

One thing I can honestly say that I like about myself... My brows!

I know it sounds silly, but I love my brows!!! They may not be symmetric (I don't even think anyone has symmetric brows! Unless if they tatooed it - but that's considered cheating!!) but they're close to it, I think? I used to always have this 6-month thingy where I would always go get'em waxed at the salon, and I only trusted the salon owner with my brows because everytime she waxes my brows, they would look super close to being symmetric. She's had her employees wax my brows a few times and they could never get it right! Anywho, that's just too bad because after some years later she closed her shop!! So now, I'm just tweezing my brows myself, otherwise I have my sister do it for me. I'm thinking about going to Sally's and buying myself a set of those waxing kits... Hm, I'll have to think about this a bit more!

Lunchables anyone?

2011-11-09T10:58:00.000-06:00

Does anyone even remember having lunchables while going on their field trips in elementary/junior high?

Well, I sure do! This is what I had for lunch today, turkey and cheddar cheese with some crackers, grapes, skittles, and water! Since both my sister and I skipped breakfast, we decided to run to Festival Foods while on our 3-hr break. We wanted to get something that wouldn't make us so tired afterwards, if you know what I mean! So we both grabbed ourselves lunchables!! Oooh how I miss being a kid and not having to worry about responsibilities.. It makes me miss my sisters. I can still capture those moments like it was yesterday.. Me running home from school, telling my dad he had to take me to Jubilee's to get a lunchable. How time passes by so quickly! That being said, here's my quote of the day:

"Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor."

- Sholom Aleichem

A new blogger in town.

2011-11-09T10:31:00.000-06:00

Hey guys... My last blog was an epic failure because I only had it for a day? Or maybe not even :( So here I am, on a new site.. Same name! The previous blog site that I was on was a bit confusing and I just didn't get the hang of it. You're probably thinking, "well yeah... You didn't even give it a day!!" And yes I agree with you, but I'm a type of person that goes handy with computers - so I'm sure even if I stuck with it, I probably would of given up otherwise!

So here... Giving it another try. I'm more used to this blog site because I've had a previous one with my sisters!! I hope you guys will continue following me and enjoy my blogs! I'm probably the only person I know that doesn't have internet at home, so if you start noticing any gaps in between my blogs you already know the reason why.. & I apologize beforehand!

So folks.. Let's start it off! Just your eyes and my thoughts - ENJOY ;)
