Bath and Body Works Wish List

Please somebody.. anybody.. (except Shana John and Doug Nguyen because you've done too much already). This is my wish list from Bath and Body Works. It's not much.

Body splash. Any fragrance! I love them all (but mostly the fruity fragrances - imagine that)!

Wallflower refills (not the plug ins, just the refills) Sweet pea is my absolute favorite so feel free to send like 10 boxes of those!!

I can't get these things here in Vietnam so anything would be soooo appreciated! My mailing address is:

My Residence Card

I have been working REALLY hard on this for a while. After being BOOTED out of South Korea when the new administration took over in 2008, I am OVER THE MOON to have finally obtained my residence card here in Vietnam, especially since I've established a great life here the past two and half years!

So what's this mean? Well, for one, it means I'm secure with my resident status here for the next twelve years, and I don't have to continuously get work visas here to live, leave, or re-enter the country!! And there are some other privileges, but those are the main two I'm happy about. No more worrying about documents, useless and random hospital visits, or surprise 'kick-outs' out of the country.

I had to do a LOT of ground work back in the states with documents and health checks blah blah. Thankfully, I have an AMAZING dad who took care of all that for me since I was over here and couldn't get back home to take care of all of it.

Inside Joke

One Month Behind Me

So, I didn't really announce this because my diets usually last about 2 days, and then I feel dumb for professing it to the world. At any rate, I changed my lifestyle on January 1st, starting the new year and a commitment to focus on the BEST me!

For one month, I've not eaten any chocolate, candy, cookies, bread, or cake, and I've not drunk any milk, soda, or beer. I've been playing badminton regularly which gives me a bit of cardio. I wouldn't call this a diet, but I've just changed my lifestyle and eating/drinking habits. Losing weight will take some time, maybe a year for a noticeable decrease because now I've gotten so big that there's just too big an amount to lose. Slowly but surely, I WILL be the size I was two years ago. But this time I'm not going to starve myself nor will I run 5 miles a day every day. I have this record for getting down to a nice weight and then congratulating myself by eating any and everything I want because I've starved myself from those things for whatever period of time. This time, this year is different. I'm not expecting a fast change because this change I've made in my life is for the long run.

Wish me luck as I continue my quest for being the best me I can be :)
