My last words

Hello Friends,

I just wanted to share with you what might be my last words.

Thank you for your support.

PS.
I will be blogging more this week.. but just in case.

Random Thoughts and a SPOILER ALERT!

It's been another few days since I've blogged.

Here's what's changed:

My assortment of random things I've eaten has increased...
So has my weight.

I feel like I live here but am a minority (Sorta like asians in provo... sorry, full asians, no halfies)

I think I've mistakened a girl for a guy and a guy for a girl, and I've seen a guy as a girl, and a girl as a guy.

I want to go home, but not to Utah. (I wish I lived somewhere else)

I can't carry a tune to save poor orphaned children if I wanted to.

My Cambodian is now as good as folks who call in lookin' for them hazel eyes with no medicin'

I'm darker BUT! i found lotion that whitens! YES, it's designed especially for Asian people, i'll bring all you non-darkies like me back some. Soon enough i'll finally fit in Utah.

I realized i don't recall a single thing about contacts and working there. Meaning... I think I've been away for a while. I even forgot that i've been wearing my contacts for a few weeks!

Coming back i'll be more family oriented *(haha, that's a pun, i'm more "orient"ed because my sister-in-law and nephew are comin back with us... rararar

I know nothing about love and romance. Nothing useful. (ask me if you want what I mean... curse that girl.)

I'm very poor.

I'll leave here with regrets
...regrets as in some worm or something... (duck tongue isn't the most tantalizing meal, but goat is!)

I have more facial hair, ahem... sprouts and oreo crumbs on my face

My muscle is more... how do you say.. non-existent...

My friend count has increased.

I really can't sing. Why didn't anyone tell me!!!

My debut cd will sell more than Ashley Simpsons' and Kevin Federline's did. Speaking of, I'm selling mine for -1.00$ each, yes. I will pay you to buy one.

Being away from the net has not weened me from my web addiction.

I miss my mission.

I realized Elders are goofs no matter where you meet them.

Two least favorite things: Old men who pry on younger, yet LEGAL aged girls, and guys whose shoulders are way too broad for them to be broads... AND PLEASE, cut back on the foundation dude!

I enjoy fine dining that is provided by wonderful family. YUMMY TUM YUM in my TUMMY.

My nephew is cuter.

And this blog is random.

So I return home soon friends... however, there's been a change of plans. I might not be coming home when I thought I would.

Anyhow, i'll save that for my next post
UNTIL NEXT TIME...!
Lia.

The Heavenly Foods

The other day while relaxing at my uncle's house we caught a show on the discovery channel about China's culinary history. There are four foods designated as heavenly foods of china originally meant for the emperors partaking. They are: Abalone, bird's next, sea cucumber, and shark fin. Many of these items are high price, abalone can reach up to 200 dollars for high class plates and sharks fin is a rare commodity. While me and my uncle were watchin this I thought to myself. "Boy I hope I can have these someoday"

Thank Buddha for my wonderful sister-in-law.

Last night we get a call that we're being treated to dinner at a chinese restaurant. i'm thinking, yes, finally something besides what i've been eating all day (cambodian food is different than chinese) as we arrive to the front desk, i see pictures of abalone, shark fin and sea cucumber. We are led to a VIP room and then I listen to what my sister in law orders. Shark fin soup... sea cucumber... fresh expensive fish and prawns... I ATE SO MUCH! The food just kept coming.. and coming.. and i kept eating.. i truly felt like a king...

Next stop...
Lobster and KFC pepsi!

And the last picture

This picture is from a part of the 3 year ceremony for my great grandpa's passing. He is the one bowing before the monks who shortly after began chanting and offering blessings. It's about 90 plus degress in the house and my legs cramped up.

Second Picture

The second picture is what I call the Ent tree, one of many that are in the Brasaat Ta Prom. There are so many of these huge ginanormous trees overgrowing the temple ruins!

My favorite one has been cut down to preserve the temple, but this one is noteworthy because if you look closely, the other bark has overtaken then inner portion which is old and decayi

Some pictures for your enjoyment

... I know ya'll wanted some pictures (Amy) so aside from my flickr, I decided to post my favorites recently.

I love my nephew, he is so cute! This is just after he woke up and saw me, his favorite uncle!

What do I look like: a Q&A

I've just returned from worship services at the local Mormon hang out and it was awesome! I was very nervous, especially considering how my cambodian has been terrible. I'm speaking like I have gaged my bottom lip and I keep stopping and clicking xobile!. Any way I was sitting in the meeting, and might I tell you a certain young lady caught me eye, (it was right after I threw it at her) haha. I jest. But during our introductions in Sunday school (both male and female) and priesthood (class for the men) no one thought I was Cambodian. I don't know if it's my huge frame, which is now just literally a frame without the huge, my nasty foreign feet (I agree with you Tracee, feet are funky) or perhaps my long shaggy hair or sexiness but here are the nationalities I've gotten:

Phillipino: AYO AYO!
Mexican: Que?
Hawaiian: Aloha, not too bad eh? Yes I speak many languages
Japanese: Seriously... do I look anything like Hiro? I know I had a white shirt on and usually carry a camera and wear a baseball cap but that's where the stereotypes stop.

and my favorite
Cambodian (Native) - yes, some think I am from here. Maybe it's my really dark skin. My huge nose, my thick, succulent lips. I don't know. But people think I am a native, sorta makes me proud but then I just realize I haven't done my hair, shaved or showered for a day... yes a day and I feel nasty. Have you ever been in an ice cream food fight? (I know you have Amy) I feel like that 100% of the day if you don't shower... ick. I went to church and saw a nice Cambodian lass from Provo (yes, they exist!) and i realized, I smell like this country. A combination of fish, dirt, lotus flowers and whatever I just ate. It doesn't smell, it's just bland. Trust me.

So what do I look like friends? Feel free to comment, especially all you fine ladies out there. :P (BTW, FYI, I have low self-esteem and take criticisms very terribly, so feel free to boost my confidence as I fish for them. haha jk!)

Anyhow, just returned from some authentic pizza, authentic what I don't know, but I think I might go get in touch with my Korean/Japanese side and bust out some Karaoke. Until then. PEACE!
