Somewhere in my life I realized that I need to become so much more than who I am. I think I was 12 when this happened. I can remember sitting on the trolley on the commute home from school, being frustrated and thinking about how I need to grow. Ever since that... moment, whatever it was, I've been suffering the challenge of making myself a better person. Not just morally but... forming individuality. I want to be someone admirable. I want to develop skills, passions, and interests. I know it doesn't seem like much, but think about it... how many people do you know that just live life going no where? People that have no dedication or love? I know too many. A lot of my family members have fallen into the hold mediocrity... it's like a disease, a sickness, or something. How do you get rid of it?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424741974371668187.post-87111859065638508632008-07-02T05:55:00.001-07:002010-06-19T17:57:17.432-07:00I've spent sleepless nights in bed trying to spin an interesting story, but the boring truth is that I started blogging May 10, 2008 as an emotional piggy bank; this blog chronicles the moments I want to remember. However, I went MIA in blogging for that month and it was clear that I needed something to <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">drive</span> me to blog... I thought about it and here's what I've come up with: My reason for blogging? <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Self- improvement.</span><br /><br />Reasons why I blog under the "self- improvement" umbrella<br />1. I freaking SUCK at writing now. I'm so unsatisfied with everything I write.<br />2. to defeat my self- consciousness.<br />3. to get my emo-ness/ anger out in writing<br />4. to remember<br /><br /><br />and here's an LOLcat so that this post isn't so boring <img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/happy.gif" /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_7td5sT3BBec/SGuB6ZyrHuI/AAAAAAAAACk/2OwlH3l5v68/s1600-h/funny-pictures-your-cat-watches-you-sleep.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218407433594674914" border="0" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_7td5sT3BBec/SGuB6ZyrHuI/AAAAAAAAACk/2OwlH3l5v68/s400/funny-pictures-your-cat-watches-you-sleep.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/laughing.gif" /> Good morning everyone!</div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424741974371668187.post-6410641518801062282008-05-01T00:00:00.000-07:002009-08-13T17:04:07.976-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >My collection of previous mastheads :)</span><br /><div style="text-align: left; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">CLICK THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE!</div><br /><br />I went through a lovebird- drawing phase :p<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t149/ohquynh/tempeditcopy.png" target="_blank"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 100px;" src="http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t149/ohquynh/th_tempeditcopy.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><br />Forget Me Nots for June/ July '08<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t149/ohquynh/junejuly2.png" target="_blank"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 100px;" src="http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t149/ohquynh/th_junejuly2.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />August 2008<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/augustblank2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/th_augustblank2.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br />September 2008<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/sepcopy.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/th_sepcopy.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">October 2008</div><div style="text-align: left;">* Candy for Halloween!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/OCTOBER2008.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/th_OCTOBER2008.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">November/ December 2008</div><div style="text-align: left;">* Gifts for my birthday and Christmas!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/NOVDEC2008.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://s335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/th_NOVDEC2008.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />An Optimistic Masthead<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/LIVEmasthead.png" target="_blank"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 100px;" src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m472/photoquynh/th_LIVEmasthead.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
