Fashion for Compassion

A fundraising fashion show will be held on Saturday, September 27th at the Tampa Convention Center to help an 18-year-old Vietnamese girl who was raped and beaten to blind outside of the Bloomingdale Library. Because of the medical bills, her family is going bankrupt. You can read more about the incident here.

If you’re in Florida, come and support the victim and her family. If not, you can still donate online.

Jeezy is Back

“Excuse me Mr. Attitude, why you got an attitude?” Young Jeezy rhymes in his new joint “Welcome Back.” It’s a pretty hot track.

Weekend Recap

Friday I went to the DMV to get a new license. (I think my wife lost it when we bought some drugs.) The man behind the counter was so friendly that we had a bit of a causal conversation. He asked me where I work and followed up with the most frequented asked question, “Are you a professor?” I replied, “No, just a web designer.” To my surprised he complemented, “Web design is not a just. It’s big.” He really made my day. Visiting a DMV not so bad at all.

Saturday we spend the entire day with my family and celebrated Samantha’s ninth birthday. She is such big girl now with a big appetite. Watching her eat is a joy. She could clean up a regular bowl of Pho and an avocado shake with no problem. Our typical weekends have mostly spent with our families, and we alternate between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I can’t even look at our credit card’s monthly bill just for eating out and gas for the weekends.

Sunday we drove back to Virginia for house hunting and only one out of eight looked decent. I am getting tired of looking at houses, but also feeling bad for our agent for putting up with us. If we want to see fifteen houses, she would take us to fifteen houses. She just had a knee surgery and couldn’t take us, but still making sure that her husband is taking us. Real estate is quite a job.

Caught In the Wrong View

One of my favorite Vietnamese female singers, Hong Nhung, has an ageless voice, a face of a young girl, but an ass of an old woman.

Who Got Swag?

T.I.’s new joint “Swagger Like Us” featured Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West showing off their rapping skill. Not sure why Kanye is on because he has none and Auto-Tune makes him sound even worse. Auto -Tune also wrecked Lil Wayne’s verse. Jay’s verse is dope, but T.I. has the most swag up on this track.
