The memories hurt.

There's nothing more painful than remembering the good old times that just don't come around too often anymore. And when you regret not doing something that could've made the memories even better.

Gosh, I wish I had a time machine right now, to bring me back to the elementary days.

so, a little recap.

It sure has been awhile. Just like my last post had said, haha. I just wanted to update some things, things have changed, mainly because school has started.

1. I have brand new classes, and are talking to people I haven't talked to in about a year.
2. Some classes seem way too challenging for me, but I'm not sure if I can switch to an easier teacher, teaching the same type of honors class. The school is pretty strict about that, but maybe I can convince my counselor otherwise.
3. I miss the old days, when homework only took about two hours, instead of 6.
4. Having to wear a nice outfit really irks me... I just wish I can show up on campus wearing my PJs for crying out loud.
5. All in all, I pray for this to be a good year.

I haven't grown any taller. My feet grew a half inch longer. *sigh* Me and my man-feet. Hah. My clothes haven't changed much.. I don't think. Since this summer wasn't exactly a shopping summer, I didn't get new things, really. I'm exhausted from doing my evil trig/pre-cal H homework, all 100 of them. And my stats homework. And speaking of homework, I never finished my English... seems like I'll copy a friend's! Woot, already copying on the fourth day of school.

Well, this blog is basically my diary. No names are listed though, even though I wish I could list them. But imagine they read this.. I'd die of embarrassment! But anyways. I just hope this year is a successful year, and I wish you the same. Whoevers reading.

I will most likely post again. I have a few more topics I want to keep forever on here, but they won't go with this post.. so yes. Now I'm to find a random picture I like to keep this post not that boring. The picture will go on top.. yay.. hah. I still need to figure how to organize photos. :}

Sincerely, Catherine.

Picture: Boys Over Flowers! I watched that over the summer. That took up about a week of my life, but it was nice. :] Although I would've loved it if Jan Di got with Ji Hoo insted of Jun Pyo.. but whatevs, the ending was nice, so I'm fine with it. x)

it sure has been awhile,

Well, it sure hassss been awhile since i've last posted (not like anyone reads.) haha. summer has started, and so have the late nights and late mornings :) i've just completed my first year of confirmation, and got back from TNTT (Thieu Nhi Thanh The) camp, which was pretty fun. All excluding the no-showers and bugs everywhere part. My team (MICAE!) won, I believe, no matter how much problems we went through :)

So lately i've been doing nothing, just laying around, eating, chatting, the usual. Planning to do some online shopping, so yeah. Off to go look for good clothing websites :)

Have a great summer!
<3>

Their music is very helpful, at times like this.

Air 1 - The Positive Alternative radio station. This radio station really has great positive music, that really makes me feel good. Compared to other stations, that just play hip hop or love songs, this station plays uplifting music, the feel good kind. :]
I advise you to listen to them. If not, you don't have to. If you don't like them, go back to your other stations, but this one will always be close to my heart, forever. <3

Check out their website, if you like, and if you feel like you need someone to pray for you, you can, they will pray for you. All you have to do is submit your prayer. Here:
To go to their website: http://www.air1.com/

God bless you :)

i must have this. eventually.

Oh my gosh. I have dreamed of this thing, for the last century. (not really.)
A WIRELESS STRAIGHTENER!

Metropolis Mini Wireless Straightening Iron - used to be a whopping 145.00, and now is a lovely 69.99 USD. (<-- i've been looking at too many asian stores, i have to put the USD after that :])
Gosh how this would make my life easier, no more days of being secluded into the bathroom in the morning, and now full of days where I can straighten my hair in the KITCHEN. :)

I'll get this. One day. One day.

boba & asian shops

Dang I want some boba right now. :[


So lately I've been looking into some different sites, and I've found some realllly cool ones. I'm into online shopping nowadays, (since I never have transportation to an actual mall), and I've been looking at asian imported goods. I'm tired of the old Forever21, and AE and those other stores, and the shops that i've been looking at have the cutest clothes, for the cheapest price. My favorite sites are www.zipia.net (super cute stuff, there) and this other site.. that i kinda forgot the URL. :)

but you should check the other site out. I really love it. Well, good day to you.

sunday school.

isn't the funnest thing to do. every sunday i have to go there (except on occasion when there's no class) and every sunday i create even more memories with friends, sometimes super fun ones, and sometimes extremely boring ones.

but sunday school is worth it in the end.. i guess. haha :]

bye,
catherine truong.

yaaaaaay. i finally got a birthday present from my parents. (err, my dad.) :)
i've been wanting these since the end of my 7th grade. haha. i'll take a picture with them on...
eventually.

off to do spanish homework,
catherine.

Ahh, Desperate Housewives. THEEEE show. i watch it every sunday and it never fails to entertain me. <3

catherine truong.

First Day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, my name is Catherine Truong. I'm a current high school Freshman in the soCal area. I apparently have nothing to do, so I decided to make a blog. For my own pleasure. (And yours, if you like it.)
I am of the Asian ethnicity, Vietnamese to be exact. I have a wonderful family consisting of a hard-working nail salon lady (my mom. sterotypical, isnt it?), a very kind furniture salesman (my dad), a current college freshman at UCI (my sister), a senior in high school (my bro), and my 5-year old autistic brother. Life isn't as easy as I wish it would be, with the money not rolling in anymore, and my autistic brother, Peter, being even harder to take care of. And especially how after next year, I'll be the only person left to watch over him, which leaves me with nothing else to do, but blog since I'll probably have to stay home the majority of the year next year. Might as well start one now, right? Right. :)

I guess that leaves you off with a start. I think this shall be the end of this post. Expect another post soon though, cause I know for sure i'll be bored later tonight. Please follow me as well, I'd be much happier if you did, even if all this is pointless to you. <3
Until then,

Catherine Truong
