What I look like after an 8-hour work day. TGIF, for me at least. My boyfriend is visiting from Calgary tomorrow until Sunday. It's going to be a joyful reunion.

First and foremost, thank you all for your birthday wishes. I've decided to take this time to reflect upon how my life has changed so drastically in so many ways over the course of this past year. Although change has been good to me for the most part, I can't help but pause and reminisce from time to time because I refuse to forget all that has meant so much to me in the past. In doing so, I realize that life couldn't possibly be satisfying if everything always stayed the same. You begin to see how much you've learned and grown from all that has happened, whether good or bad, and that there is no way you could ever be in the exact place you are today if any one of the components of your history did not occur or exist.
I'm grateful for everything I have experienced up until now, and will continue to be thankful for all my blessings, hardships and obstacles. I'm absolutely content and convinced that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
XOXO,

Bleed for Beauty
For those of you who have been following my blog, you know I've been growing out my hair for the past couple of month now. Well, today I cheated and had an additional 16 inches of extensions added after 4.5 excruciating hours, but it was well worth the pain. Things are different and I felt altering something in my phsyicality would complete the transition. Does anyone else ever feel like this?
I'm celebrating my 21st birthday tomorrow, even though it's not officially until Tuesday. I'm not going to lie. I made dinner reservations at Glowbal Grill & Satay Bar in hopes of a possible run-in with Robert Pattinson who celebrated his own birthday there two nights ago. My plan of having him fall unconditionally and irrevocably in love with me at first sight is in place. Just don't tell my boyfriend.
XOXO,

New sweatshirt and jeans. A friend and I was talking the other day about our mutual need to learn how to budget and how our wants are not always incongruous to our financial state. I then realized that in my fridge and cupboard right now is vitaminwater, cranberry juice, milk, jam, bread and cereal; but last week alone I spent nearly $3,000 on clothes and shoes.
In lighter news, I've been pre-approved for a $500,000 mortgage. I must be doing something right, right?
XOXO,
Happy Birthday, Sister

Although these words are vague to unknowing minds, I would like to take this time to make a toast to the sky for my sister, Linda Nguyen Englehart, who passed away on July 29th, 2007. Today would be her 29th birthday, and although I've suffered grief, I'm humbled by her departure as I rejoice in her memory.
In remembering her, I recollect that her entity was beyond this world anyhow, and she was much like an angel on earth; therefore, she had to go home sometime. In so many ways she has become my inspiration and my hero. It's amazing how tragedies befall us and yet once we find the strength and courage to rise above the anguish in our hearts, we realize that so many of the things that hurt us are blessings in disguise.
Linda, as you watch over me, please guide me and heal me through life's obstacles so that I may earn my place with you in heaven. I wish everyday that I could have just one more day with you, but then I realize that I will have forever with you; I just have to earn my wings too. Until then, rest in paradise. I love you.
XOXO,
I'm Back

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and support. Times have been tough as of late. People have a tendency to lose sight of who and what means most to them. Fortunately, I get to reconnect with a few tonight. A more substantial update soon, I promise.
XOXO,
