Giveaway Prizes

Thank you very much Julie! Everyone please check out http://juliesbits.blogspot.com/ for amazing tutorials and giveaways down the line.

All her molds are beautifully and nicely made.

My review on opening the package: Very nicely packaged, it was realllyyy heavy too. LOL I didn't expect it from the package size. I was excited to open too. Upon opening it, I was completely amazed. You're so generous, Julie! I can't thank you enough. I advertised on my facebook. I'm going to do the same for my tumblr too. :) I hope you have many more customers and I'll be using these lovely molds to make pretty things. I'll also will purchase things too later on since I've been eyeing a few molds on your etsy too<3>

Handmade cards

I'm bedridden today ;-;. I injured my back lifting something really heavy. I was going to finish my card for Hubby's birthday. Looks like I won't be sending his box on time if my back doesn't heal by the end of tonight. In the mean time I'll post some of my handmade cards I made for the Mother's Day sale at school a few months ago.

The first picture were the cards I made for the sale. The Father's Day cards were my professor's idea, those didn't sale. But I was content with what I sold, I was worried none would sell at all!

The 21st birthday was for one of my friends. I've only been doing card making for less than 6 months or so. It's been quite the experience. I love acquiring different papers and learning different styles.

The other two cards were the first cards I made for the spring semester. A big differences from the Mother's Day cards right?

And the last with was featuring T.O.P from Big Bang (one of my favorite kpop groups). This one was for a friend who's just as obsessed with Big bang as I am. :) This was inspired from the song Cafe. :)

Edit: Up close view of the Mother's Day/Father's Day cards. And I found the cards I made for some of my friends who were graduating. I also am posting the card I made for my mom also. :) 

Ceramics

Stuff I made in ceramics a while back.

Mancala board. Does anyone remember that game? I made one inspired by My neighbor Totoro and one with cherry blossoms.

I think I prefer the cherry blossom one. The rocks and everything went together really well surprisingly. The Totoro one, oh man the broad cracked when it was in the kiln. But I expected that. The board was too thin. It looks a little too plain for my taste too.

Mini Totoros were my first attempt at sculpey clay. I still have the bunches of Totoro. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like after every art piece that I do it ends up collecting dust because I have no idea what to do with them x-x.

Giveaway comments

I feel really awkward x.x commenting everyday for the molds. ;-; I hope I'm not spamming either. ;-;. I'll just be very thankful if I win, but I'd still be happy if someone got the chance to win it. :) Haha ^___^. I usually don't have good luck with giveaways, lottery (I usually get a ticket for new years for good luck :o) or any spinning wheel things at volunteer events. D:


But yes. I hope Miss Julie and the other comment-ers will forgive me for the spamming ._.

It's been forever since I've been on here. x.x, and it's really confusing. Please follow this blog: "http://juliesbits.blogspot.com/" for great tutorials and lovely giveaways. :)

"There is a time limit as to how long you can chase your dreams. But never one on how to lead them. " - Thuy Vo

I think swallowing pride is one of the biggest things I have yet to learn. Accepting the steps that I must take, seem so much more work and effort. I have moments in which I just want to throw up the white flag and say "to hell with it." I'm tired. Truly I am. I'm hating every moment I have to live through what I am right now. I don't want to regret anything, but I can't accept it either. And it's tearing me apart. I keep counseling myself, saying it will be alright. Just a year. I would be fine. But I can already see the fall outs, the usual bad things coming towards my way. It's ashame. Truly it is. The disappointment continues to claw at my heart. But I won't give up. I never had, and I never will. I completely refuse. I may have been knocked off my high horse. But that won't change. I will no longer chase after my dreams, destiny had done its placement. Now it's my turn to take my fate into my own hands and lead my future.

Final decisions

There are no limits to the endless sky

There is no say in how much you can reach

What only matters is how you go and approach it

How you see to it, and how far it takes you

Make every footstep count

Make every breathtake worth it

Let the deepths of the footprints last

Each step holds a new meaning

Nothing should ever hold you back

Keep reach into that endless field

Because only you can see for the future of tomorrow.

Stressing.

It's the end of the road.

I have yet to make my decisions.

Indecisions, indecisions. What am I to do?

Go with my heart, go with my mind. Or go for the sake of the future?

I'm walking two roads, this never ending line.

I'm stepping out of place.

I'm taking my sample of freedom.

First breath, and I'm not sure if I like it.

At least not yet.

I'm not sure how ready I am.

Or am I still afraid.

Afraid of the changes that will come, that already is and had.

I'm looking at blank pieces of paper.

Trying to put the correct puzzles back into place.

My heart is so heavy..

And I'm ending this in tears.

Where should I go, how do I start.

Am I running into this blind,

Or have I just started to see the light?

This mind is in chaos.

Just as the heart is in heeps of trouble.

One wrong move, and it can cost deadly.

But which one is the wrong and which is the right.

Give me a sign.

Write me a note.

Tell me please.

What is this little one, about to do?

Forgiveness

One of the greatest gift in life is to learn how to forgive.

Forgiving is the act of giving in and letting go of a certain strong feeling that you held. At least that's what it feels like to me. I don't know to be humored by this, or cry. This act of forgiveness sounds so easy, yet.. it's probably one of the hardest things a human being has to do in my eyes. Because to forgive, it comes with the words forget. In my eyes, if you forgive someone, and not forget it, you're never truly forgiving them. You're still holding something, a small piece of that will always be with you. It's not a clean piece of meat that you can cut away and toss if you choose to ever do so.

Today, while laying in the grass on the hill at the quad of my school, with 6th period almost half done, I see a girl. A girl, one from my past, one that I had swore to always remember no matter how long it was. She's changed, and certainly I have changed. She was someone who I felt disgusted with knowing the pains and troubles she caused myself in my younger days. But looking at her today, hearing that she has a wedding in two weeks, and soon due in May with her baby...I just can't find the hate in me. I couldn't stand her back then, I probably still can't now, but somehow, I still wish she finds that happiness.

Everyone deserves to be happy, depending on what mistakes they have made in their lifetime. Young girls do stupid things. Human beings are suckers to being stupid. And I wonder, with the other people in my life, when will I get a chance to look at them, and come to terms with myself. Terms stating, it's time to let go & forgive. And simply to lose those memories. They seem so hard and unbelievable now. But after seven years, and I'm able to come at peace and silently wish my once enemy a happy life. Then I'm confident that one day I will for those that I once loved so dearly, it will just take time. Possibly a long time. But, hope.

Love Always,

Finals. School. Life.

Life is so busy.

At least that's how it feels as of late.

College, love, life, and school all mixed into one big blender. Finals is two days away, and I'm so unsure about this gamble. Well at least the gamble of my two last classes of the day. I'm taking time out today to write a little blog to organize my thoughts for a bit. I feel so tired. I'm pretending not to be stress at the time being, so I can just get through it all.

I wish for spring break to come already...except, I'm still stuck with work even then. lol. How sad? My life is reduced to school work, remembering to balance a healthy relationship, making deadlines for colleges, biting back at dino-parents who are out for my blood when I can't design their senior ads a certain way. Sheesh, I'm human, give me a break please. I have a life in between all that, add on volunteering every two weeks or so. Gladly I have not knocked out with a cold or something. Hmmm, I don't k now what else to do at the moment. Surely not that AP Stats packet, or better yet four last chapters ... ehh... well I'd say 3 and 3/4's chapter left more like. The book 'First Fruit' seems so boring to read. But not as boring as 'The Stranger'. Both too religious in some form of my taste. Understanding a religion is hard on it's own, but feeling like the book is trying to make you believe in the religion itself is too much. At least to me.

Finals, "AHHHHH." Yeap. Talk about death note right there. Hoping with all my heart I will pass, even if I have to crawl across the line. >:[ lol. What an unhappy feeling that is. I'm staying up late too much as of late. That's highly unhealthy, plus that fact that I'm too busy during school to eat and everything. Anyway, this moment of escape needs to be cut short. I need to get back to reality and finish this pile of consuming work.

Love Always,
Thuy a.k.a Angel

Saturday, July 13th

Summer is shortening by the minutes, the hours, the day. There are still too many decisions still to make. Too many possiblities, but very few that would work completely. I'm reaching out towards a fog of darkness. Blindly searching. E s c a p e. But where to. . .

Its 1:11am for my hubby's time ^^, make a wish.

Is there one day. . where you'll forget me? Would my face fade along with old age? My heart tightens at the thought. What to do, what to think. I wish to read into your thoughts. See into the deepths of your heart. Time will always exist. Though long. . . and forever lasting.

It's Saturday

I miss him.
I think that explains everything, or at least. It should<3

School's Almost Over

So. School's almost over and there are still many things to be done. I took my SAT2 yesterday. It was hard >.> lol, but I'll live. I'm pretty relaxed at this moment of my life. But I'm sure I won't be by tomorrow. There are somethings that I am sooo over with. :] I hate to break it to those that want to bring me down, but I hold all the cards to play a mean game. I enjoy competition as much as anything else in my life. Yesterday could've been called for the 2nd worse day in my life. But I lived through it, and didn't let it get to me. I actually was sitting in the sun listening to my ipod and enjoying those moments to myself. While I thought about things. I shouldn't care. & I don't care. lol. It's a win. Sorry for bad first impressions, but I didn't live to be part of your expectations. I have mine. Ones that are much higher then what you can ever expect out of me. And this is what makes me win. Because I'm s t r o n g e r, and you're just playing in the dark now ;].

Let the summer begin.

Thoughts #3

As time tick by, I can't help but wonder what now. I miss you very much, indeed, that I do. Nothings the same without you here. It just seems very different. Hurry and come back, I'll be waiting..

<3

I miss you Anh.

Thoughts #2

Sitting here, currently listening to fruit's basket song on my xanga.

I don't know. I guess I understand this is how he feels, when I'm at school or out. There are too many thoughts can run through a person's mind. Sad ones, happy ones, or even .. lonely ones.

He'll be gone for a few days, but I feel like a piece of me is missing more then it already is. It reminds me of when he moved to Georgia, or when I escaped away to Vietnam for 3 weeks. Memories of how great it felt to be in contact at least with one person you love. Especially the one you love most is special.

I honestly envy many couples, who have the chance to embrace their lover, or just to see their love smile. I still have to wait. While others abuse and destory what little or any love that can be created between two human beings. I can't tell him enough, how much I love him each day. Even when we're together and spending time. I miss him dearly. I know when we'll be together in each other embrace and I'll have my head on his chest catching his fragile heartbeats. I'll still miss him. Because...
Ilovehim.

Thoughts #1 (5/5/09)

Have you ever thought that your life will turn out a certain way? You're sure that you'll get this or not? Well, indeed I think every human feels that way. Have you ever been bashed and accused of something? Even though you're the victim? Well, again I bet at some point any of us, have felt that way.

Anyways, I'm pretty much sick and tired of running into things, I don't want to deal with. Especially people that think they're the time of day. Sorry to inform you, but you're not the topic of my life. So. Fall back. All I can personally say is, it's been badluck ever since Saturday -.-. Seriously, I need a break, life is stressing me out if I have to deal with petty things.

But yeah, my day has been very long and tiring. Not sleeping soon as usual. I need to finish my photography stuff soon. I have the walk for hope this Saturday. My calender is listed on my damn myspace. So, if anyone happens to run into me, please, I can personally say. " I was here first." It takes patiences and control. Either I become the bigger person and play nice, or become the monster that certain indiviuals claim me as. Oh, I'll enjoy being the b*tch too.

But yeah, I miss him lots, :/. Hubby is sick :[ lol, hopefully he'll feel better soon. I just hate that I'm missing another weekend to do school related stuff. And not be with him. Good thing summer is coming up, I'm really over school. College needs to come soon. I can stress then. Anyways time to finish up homework, and read for class then bed.

Nights,

The SAT (5/2/09)

I can't express how tired I really am. I woke up at 4 something in the morning, and the first thing came flashing to my mind is the SAT. The test was long, the minutes that passed by was longer. I mean really even till now I can't breath regularly. The anixety keeps building on me, now that I'm waiting for the test score. I saw Cindy and friends from school. That was well. Otherwise today has been a bad day.



"It's like flipping through old journals, skimming through old pictures. They're all faded." - Thuy

How do I feel about Testing?

So, I just finished taking the CSAT thingy. Or whatever the hell it's spelled lol. I'm super tired, and I still need to read chapter 26 of Grapes of Wrath. Can my day get any more boring? Geeze, I rather stay home and sleep & probably feel much smarter with my 8-10hrs of sleep rather then my 4-5 hrs on a weekday. I'm taking the SATs this weekend. Boy, am I a wreck? I need to cram. Big time. This is causing lots of stress and freaking me out. Because I keep wondering what score I'm going to get. I'm seeing my school counselor tomorrow, I have no idea what I'll tell her. I mean what college will I actually apply for? I need a job. Or someway to make money. >.> I can't depend on my parents. I need to find a way to survive. But I'm hanging on. Anywho I need to read nows :[. I hate school, don't you?

Love always,
Thuy a.k.a Angel

P.S. I miss my silly hubby a lot :/ . I'm thinking about you <3 :[ & I love you so ^^

Why does this remind me of Xanga?

Hello there,

I'm pretty bored right now. Despite the fact that I should be studying, I'm going to blog a bit. This whole thing x.x reminds me of xanga. A place to express and talk and talk D;. Anyways, I love to design. I plan to take a career on it. Anything designed by me go under Angel Productionz ©, but my brushes that are used, are found on http://www.deviantart.com/ . Any pictures that show up later on will be found on either that site, yahoo search images, photobucket. Or any where else stated.
