Help with a Project!!

Hey guys, a friend of mine, Nicki and I are doing a project and we would like as many help as possible!

So we all know about the whole Hmong crisis back in Thailand with many of them are being deported back to Laos. Nicki is friend with someone who lives in Thailand and visits a Hmong detention center every month, well Nicki approached me with an idea of giving these innocent people hopes for the future by sending these Hmong people letters from us to let them know that we on the other side of the world do love and care for them and hope that they will be free once more.

For this, we are asking for as many help as possible, if possible, we would love for any of you guys to help write a letter(s) of hope and encouragement to these people, we would prefer it in Hmong but if not, we’ll find a translator to rewrite the letters in Hmong.

Do keep in mind that in this detention center, there are 158 innocent lives and 91 out of 158 of these innocent people are innocent kids who knows no better and deserves all the hope and encouragement as possible.

We may say there is nothing we can do, but honestly there is; we can help by writing letters of hope and encouragement, if any of you guys have little ones who can draw for the kids that would be greatly appreciated!

Once you guys are done with the letters and drawing email them all to me at mozemoua@gmail.com and I will get these letters and drawings to Nicki she will then send these letters to Yvonne.

Deadline for these letters is on November 24 2009, please get them all to me no later than this date so that Nicki can send them to Yvonne in Thailand. Yvonne had stated that there is a good chance that these people MIGHT be deported back to Laos by year’s end, so everyone, lets all come together and show some love, hope and encouragement to these people!!!!!

Saying Goodbye!!

The OH SO Z is OH SO GONE!!! I will miss it! I had gotten words from the adjuster that my awesome and beautiful Scion is now gone! It had been declared a total loss. It was a beauty and I will miss it with all my heart! I had loved that car so very much!

According to the adjuster I have until Tuesday of next week to find a new car or I’ll be carless, yes, carless, as in no car, no rental etc. Car shopping is stressful! I hate this whole thing, I will miss this car!!

I honestly felt as if I’ve hit rock bottom!! things had been so stressful on me lately! I feel as if all pressure is weighted on me and everything had gone so wrong! Nothing thus far had gone right, and I hate it!

This song explains how I am feeling at the moment! Beside I love love the song anyways! GreenDay rocks!

BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

Today I had met up with a friend of mine who lives in Norcross and we had visited the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Lilburn GA. This Indian temple was amazing, there is no word to discribe it, it was just beautiful and the details were extremely fine. Every detail put on this temple was done to perfection, every design was beautiful and makes you wonder how long it had taken anyone to hand carves these designs.

Pity that once you reach a certain point of the temple cameras and camcorders are not allowed. They were very strict once you enter the temple, even gum chewing was not allowed. We went during the time of a prayer so it was very interesting to see the Indian people do their interesting prayers.

Inside, every single way and ceilings and even poles were hand carved and designed to perfection, even the wooden doors and donation boxes were hand carved in fine details.

I think this wonderful temple is a must visit, and best of all, it’s a free temple to visit, well worth your time!!

I AM ALIVE!!!!!!!

All I got to say is: I AM ALIVE!!!!

This morning at about 5:20 am I was driving to work and then I lost control of my car, the road condition wasn’t good at all, it had rained all night and was drizzling and fogging, I lost control of my car and then I went off road and hit a area of trees!

Right when I hit the trees, I felt lifeless, but at the same time I felt like my grandparents was there carrying me, but in the back of my head all I can think of was “I don’t want to die yet, I am still young and have not experience life enough” then BAM I hit all the trees. I swear I must had blacked out for like 2 second then the first thing I can think of was “I AM ALIVE” and then I called 911, they were quick to get me. As soon as I called 911 I called my younger brother, he didn’t pick up then I called Hlee and she picked up so she came and picked me up at the scene.

I didn’t hit the air bag in my car (good thing or my face would had been all bruised up!!). It was so hard to breath when I hit the trees; the impact was so bad I felt it all over my body, I felt like a wave of pain came rushing into me and felt as if I couldn’t move for that two second I thought I had blacked out. Then I took off my seatbelt after I had called 911. While on the phone they asked if I was hurt, and I honestly wasn’t sure if I was hurt or not, I just felt numb.

As soon as the fireman and ambulance came (which they were super fast), he opened the door and asked if I was hurt, I told him I wasn’t sure, he asked if I felt pain and I told him just a bit under my chest and and right pelvic so he felt right under my chest and asked if I felt pain, and I said no, then he felt on my pelvic and asked and that’s where all the pain was, I then also sprung my left ankle as well. I told him I really honestly just need to take lots of deep breath so he allowed me to do so. I came out of the car and then I signed a paper saying I did not need to go to the hospital.

I watched my car get towed away and got a damn citation for driving a bit fast under bad road condition. MAN!!!

Good thing I didn’t hit anyone else or anyone’s home or business because right ahead of where I wrecked my car there are a lot of homes, small business and etc. That would have been extremely expensive for my insurance!!!

I think it had to do with a dream I had had the other night, I think the dream was telling me something! But good thing I walked out of the car accident ALIVE!!!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of calling my parents, but I finally called them on my way back home. The first thing I told my dad was “Dad, when you and mom has time, you guys need to hu kuv plig” (“HU PLIG” means soul calling, I felt like my soul had been lost during the wreck) my dad was like “WHY??” then I told him I got into a car wreck so he said okay and kind of gave me a sympathy lecture about driving.

I am alive, thank goodness!!!

MY CAR!!! MY BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!!

Black Rock Mountain State Park

I dont know why the pictures are pixelated, but whatever, I’ll try to get it fix later.

What is better than to enjoy a beautiful day in high elevation watching nature’s beauty from above? I had spent my Sunday wonderfully, we first went to the Minnehaha Falls and then drove around the recreation and Rabun Lake, and then we headed farther north to Black Rock Mountain State Park. I was expecting a lot more than just an over look park, but either way, who wouldn’t love it? It was beautiful, I am glad we had picked a perfect day and time to visit Black Rock Mountain State Park.

Hlee at the Black Rock Mountain State Park Overlook. Elevation must be around 6000 ft.

Hmong Moua New Year Party

As you all know last nigth was our Hmong Moua New Year Party and to my surprise we had a good turn out, the room was super packed and it went pretty well. Doors open at 2pm, but I didn’t show up until 3pm, I had to be the greeter for the night, so majority of the night I was standing at the door welcoming our guest. It was a great experience and also an Honor for my Uncle to ask me to be the greeter.

We had people from MN, MI, NC, SC and GA who came to our party, a lot of the big name MOUA elders showed up and I was honored to greet them.

For the first 3 hours I was wearing my Laos outfit and then after 6pm, I changed into my black dress. I worked the whole night and was finally free from “working” at about 9:30. whew! By then, I was too tired to do much, so I only took a few photos. I also had one dance, with an old High school friend.

I’ll shutup and you guys can enjoy the boring photos! Enjoy!!

All the girls except for 3 are Hmong Moua girls.

sorry guys, after running around doing crap load of works I was worn out by the time I was free from working therefore I look super tired and torn up! LOL  ALL MOUA GIRLS (except for Emily, she’s my dad’s sitster’s daughter, hmong Vang), firl on the other end of me.

THe guys were being dumb.. all Moua guys except for Douchi

Me looking tired as heck from all the running around working and etc

I had made this Halloween costume!

I had been working hard on making a Halloween costume for Athena, okay I lied, I didn’t work hard on it, and I just spent about 2 hours on it. My dad had finally dropped off and fixed his sewing machine for me, so I decided to make it into good use! I had some extra fabric so I thought I would just do it for fun… The turnout was pretty decent, better than what I had expected!

So the costume is a traditional Lengha Choli, it’s an Indian outfit… It wasn’t the best material for this type of dress, but it worked! LOL… It was also just for trial and error, so maybe in the future I’ll do a real and better one. LOL
Oh and don’t laugh at it! LOL

Horrible pictures! I took them quick since it was late and I didn’t feel like even bothering to do anythign good, it’s all snapshots only! LOL Don’t laugh at the horrible design of the dress! LOL

chased out of my own home?

I thought I was going to die today! LOL

here’s the story…..

I came home from work, parked my car at my usual parking area (right in front of the house on the grass). I notice no car was at home therefore I would had been home alone, I went to the front door, open the door, everything seemed normal, I walked towards the computer room to get to my room, and in front of me, down the hall in front of my brother’s bedroom door was my nyab’s DAMN Chihuahua. She started to growl at me and then she started to bark like crazy and then she charged right to me. I was soooo freaken scared I ran as fast as I can out the door. LOL First time I Decided to lock the front door, was when I needed it unlock the most… As soon as I got to the door, she was trailing behind me barking like crazy. I started to act like I was going to kick it until I was finally able to open the door and as soon as I did, I hop out of the door shut it super quick and then called my brother and my nyab!! I called my brother yelling at him about his dog being out of her cage and etc. He just laughed extremely hard and then said he was almost home!!

My younger brother came home as soon as I called my older brother and took the dog back into my brother’s room and closed it SHUT!

As soon as my brother and nyab got home, my brother started to laugh at me like there was no tomorrow… geeze..

The Chihuahua just gave birth about a week and a half ago… <—-that was one of the main reason she’s so feisty

DUDE, I was freaken chased out of my own freaken home by the Chihuahua!! How freaken sad is that?

 

 

Maybe one day I’ll take a picture of her! LOL
