Car shopping is NEVER fun!

Let’s just say I hate car shopping, I feel like I had just signed my life away. Seriously, when buying a new car there are so many paper works to be signed and so many things to get done.

My dad and I had went out to look at some cars, I needed a new car as soon as possible and today was the only day we were able to go car shopping, so I took the day off from work and went car shopping. We must have stopped by about 4 different dealerships before we finally found the car that was waiting for me (LOL).

I ended up getting a 2006 Acura RSX, it’s a very different jump from a 2007 Scion TC Limited Edition (Drool). Thus far, I am not feeling the RSX because I just love love love my Scion and how it drives, but I know there are a lot of getting used to and what not. I honestly feel like it’s a downgrade, but regardless I am happy with what I had picked and again, it’s just getting used to.

The RSX is a lot smaller than the Scion TC, believe me, the TC is very roomy inside, there are lots of room to move around, but in the RSX there isn’t as much room to move around. But again, I am happy, hey the payment is a whole lot cheaper and that’s all that matters for now.

Geeze I am totally missing the Scion!!! I need to get over it and register in my head that the Scion is now gone.

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!

Rabun Lake Recreation

This was during my trip to the mountain last weekend with Nicki and them. Photos taken at the Rabun Lake Recreation area. It was extremely beautiful and the drive to this mountain area was beautiful! We drove up and down a mountain for over an hour going 15 mph on a lovely Sunday! It was breath taking!!! View was beautiful! I would love to do it again!!

If I can have one thing, I would love to spend my days dreaming in an area as beautiful as this place!! I feel so at peace looking out to such location. What more can I say, it’s too breath taking!

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!!

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.

Minnehaha Falls in GEORGIA

It was a well wroth the drive!! We drove to Rabun County to get to Minnehaha Falls, the drive was beautiful and the hike to the fall was not far and well worth it! I love the sound and beauty of nature!!!

Pumpkin Patch at Washington Farm

On Saturday my friend Nicki and I took the kids out to Washington Farm for their pumpkin patch, we had a great time. It was a bit cold but we stil had fun!! THere were lots of fun activities and we did all of them including the corn maze! It was awesome!!

Atlanta Turkish Festival 2009

On Sunday Nicki and I went to the Atlanta Turkish Festival held at the Gwinnett Civic Center in Duluth GA, I must say, it was a very interesting event. I had a great time and there was much to see.

(I know I had been very behind with responding to everyone, I will get to it as soon as I find the time to do so, I had been verybusy these past few days getting things ready for the Moua New Year party and the up coming Hmong New Year. Things should be back on track soon, at least I hope!!)

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
