Hello there! My name is Wendy :) I am obsessed with Corgis, Hello Kitty, and Harry Potter. I'm pretty weird and awkward. I promise I'm nice though (haha). I am married to the most wonderful man and my best friend. I thank God everyday for the blessings in my life but most importantly the salvation He provided through Jesus Christ. I've had this tumblr since I was about 18(ish) so if anyone decides to dig through my archives, they will see a lot of (bad) posts from the girl I used to be. I thought it would be a good idea for me to keep my old posts to show people the before and after of my life because Jesus really does save. Have a blessed day. Enjoy! :)
Babycakes wanted to win me something at the machines in Disneyland but he couldn’t and didn’t wanna spend too much money trying on those plushes so he ended up buying me this plush the “Pook-a-looz” :D
He told me we should name it so it can be like our son… LOL (how cute is that?!) So we ended up naming it Patch.
This is Mr. Huynh’s story about his lost daughter he had to give up while living in the Vietnam War. There is no humor, no laughter when he describes what he had to go through, almost as if the person who played Mr. Huynh went through the same thing.
Take a moment and watch this Hey Arnold clip, and think about the cartoons you watch today. Do any of them deal with these kind of real-life situations and stories? Can they portray such a sad story with such emotion as this? This is back when cartoons dealt with more than just trying to entertain people; Hey Arnold took real historical events and portrayed them as people experienced them. Though I didn’t understand it as much when I was a kid, I look back and say, wow, they were dealing with that? That’s some serious stuff for little kids.
This was my favorite episode from Hey Arnold. Not only was Mr. Huynh’s story truly sad and tragic, it also showed kids on how anything you want will happen if you want it to happen. In the end, Mr. Huynh got reunited with his daughter because of Helga. This was shown to kids to be selfless towards others who have less than you. She gave up her only thing that she wanted for Christmas for Arnold who wanted to make Mr. Huynh’s wish come true. In the beginning of the show, she was going off on how Christmas was only about the material things in life, but at the end she realized that was about things that are greater than material items. Cartoons in the present time will never live up to old cartoons. Ever.
**RANDOM TEXT FROM SANDY**: Hello :) Okay, so I wanted to know something, I know I have like man hands but my dad was like “you have such fat fingers to me” :( What’s your fingers like? Like ring size. I’m an 8 or 9. Is that extremely big?
*During dinner she pulled out a really pretty wrapped present*
Sandy: I got you something….
*Opened it after we finished eating*
Me: OMG ITS THE HELLO KITTY RING I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Slick, Sandy. Very slick…. :)
She remembered from that one time me, Sandy, Jackie, and Liz had a girls’ night out and went to Cue to take pics and I saw that same ring so I told Sandy how cute it was….. :) HOW FREAKING CUTE.
My present... IS the best. He took so much time and put so much thought into it.... I haven't gone through each song yet but I have read the notes for each song... Ah, I love him.
Baby: Ok baby. So your gift is a very special playlist I put together on YouTube. You can log into YouTube with this same account and password find it. The list has songs that have complimented our relationship so far, songs that I’ve never listen to with you before, but that I want to dedicate to you, and songs that emphasize God’s love and endlessly meaningful role in our lives and our relationship. Each song has a special note I added that expresses something I feel about the song. YouTube limits the amount of words you can type though so I had to be clever with how I wrote some of them (excuse the abbreviations that make me seem like a retarded teenage girl). Anyway, enjoy, babe, and I pray that this playlist helps you reflect on God, on us, and on how God impacts who we are as individuals and as a couple. I love you so much and I hope these songs remind you everyday how much I care.
Baby: Oh also babe. Some of the videos in the playlist aren’t songs, but just things I thought you’d like. Please listen/watch everything all the way through (you don’t have to finish in one sitting). I also specifically chose the videos as they are so if it’s a music video, I actually intended for you to watch it because I think it brings out the best in the song and what I wanted you to see. But if it’s a lyric video, I intended for you to concentrate on the lyrics and message more. Anyway, you get the point. I pray you like it and that God reveals much love through it! Love you babycakes.
Baby: Wait..one MORE thing. To read the notes, you’ll have to click on the title of the playlist so that it opens in the top down scroll edit view. If you need help finding that, let me know lovely =).
I used to fantasize about my ideal boyfriend and how I wanted him to be like. I remember I would fantasize stuff like how he should have a nice car, nice job, nice style, etc. Now, I realize how wrong I was. A close to perfect boyfriend doesn’t need to have a nice car, job, style, or anything superficial like that. He only needs to care and love me as I am. He only needs to be stable in his life, knows where he’s going, and be a smart man. Thanks to God, I was blessed with that and so much more in a man. He takes care of my car problems (paid for oil change and wiper blades, checking out my tires, looking up prices for my tires, and actually going with me to all these things) so I can have a good stable car for the winter/rain season. He cares about my family and our health & safety. He spoils the heck out of me and surprises me with cute things. He brought me closer to God and now I can’t go back to living my life without God. He did more things to me than a normal boyfriend should. I cannot be happier. We have those random tickle fights and I would have to forfeit…. Then I would attack him after. We have those cute movie nights where we stay in and pig out. We have our bible study nights and we just express our love for God. We have so many great memories and I cannot wait for more to come. I love my babe-a-saur. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us.
I like your eyes, your full lips, your smile, your cheeks. I used to hate your nose, but it got cuter the more I looked at it. I like your whole face… I like the way your nose cringe. I like the way you pout even though you do it so often. I also like how you have so many different pouts for different things. I like how you make sounds for everything that you do. I like the way you poke or hit or whine or all of the above when you want something from me.
You make me feel better after every breakdown that I have without even knowing it. You comfort me in my times of need and you seem so concerned for me at all times. Thank you for caring. Thank you for understanding. We do have our bad times but we make it up with even greater times after that. I’m grateful for you and our relationship. I’m happy to be where we are and I’m glad I’m going through life with you. (That sounds like we’re getting married… Uhhhhhh… Hahaha. Totally didn’t intend it like that btw.) You help me a lot and you are my rock. I hope you know that. I’m scared to lose you and that’s why I’m so paranoid. I don’t want you to turn out like the rest… But it’s time to get it through my head that you’re not. I’m trying, really. I am. Please continue to be patient with me. I’m stubborn as fuck and sometimes, I refuse to think like a normal person. Thanks for making me happy all the time. Thanks for babying me all the time. I really like you :) (I know you’re gonna read this eventually since you tumblr stalk me and you don’t even have a tumblr -_______- LOL.)
“I’m sad that we decided to pull the plug on this friendship but I think it’s for the best.. At least for now. We’re both moving in different paths in our lives to keep up with each other. I do hope in the future that we’ll hang out again. When we have our lives situated and settled. I’m glad I met you because you turned out to be the bestest friend I’ve ever had. You were there for me for everything in my life also. No matter how long I waited to tell you about the situations. I’m sorry for all the times I took you for granted and all the times I hurt you by not trying. Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me. I really can’t say enough about that. Thank you for being so patient with me throughout the years.Thank you for making me cry and laugh within the same hour. You will always have a special part in my life and a special place in my heart. I wish you the best because I have confidence that you will be successful in whatever you decide to do. Whenever you start having doubts about your self worth or whenever you are sad about anything, remember that you are a great person and you deserve to be happy. Since I always remind you of this when you are sad, I feel like I have to remind you of this again one last time because we won’t be friends anymore. Whatever life throw at you, I know you’ll get through it. I’m sorry for all the times that I made you think that I wasn’t there for you. I tried being there for you the best of my ability. Even if it didn’t seem like it. No matter how much I say it, it will never lose it’s meaning; I truly think you are the only man besides my father who has loved me for who I am. Every time you saw me without makeup, my hair done, or when I was extra fat. I know you were only poking fun because you could but I know you still accepted me when I didn’t look my best. Thank you. I wish you the best with Kiet. I know you’re going to have doubts in the future about him but please remember that he’s good for you. I know you will have other friends to beat sense into your head but whenever you get stubborn and don’t want to listen to them, just remember this. He’s a good guy and he’s great for you. You deserve him and he deserves you. No matter how weird he may be, he’s perfect for you. Just remember that. The one that is making you wait and that you’re willing to wait for, is probably worth waiting for.
Let’s still be facebook friends. I still want to check up on you to see how you’re doing (even though you don’t update.) I don’t want to click on your name and see that you’re private. Since I know you change your psw often, just leave me on your fb. Just hide me from your news feed so it will seem like I’m not on there.
I love you.”
My letter to my best friend when we decided to pull the plug on our 7 year friendship. Even though it’s ended, I know our love for each other will still be there deep inside.
