Happy New Year!.. im usually very thankful for my life and really happy w/it (no.. not in a corny cheesy way-- i dont think) but i am soooooo thankful this new year!!.. however it seems like random 'bad' stuff is happening so far. 

:: New Year's eve: i start to have eye problems.. was the most horrible new years eve ever.  =/  (thankyou skanky and laura for coming over tho.. sorry i was such poop)

:: New Year's day: wake up and am completely sensitive to any type of light.. could not even handle any light w/my eyes closed.. had to keep both of my eyes completely covered or be in the dark.  managed to look in the mirror and see that the little white blob in the eye the night before had grown into a pretty decent smudgy blob.. in my red eye.  that and not be able to tolerate any light?!?!?!?!??  EMERGENCY ROOOM!!!! 

:: diagnosed w/iritus / ulcer on the retnea.. *yikes!??!?!?*  eyeball sensories freaking out so too much light is going in, the blob has gotten bigger and spreading.. making this a smoggy blur.. riding to the hospital.. im like.. PLEASE, PLEASE.. I CANNOT LOSE THIS EYE!  I HAVE GOOD SELF-ESTEEM, CHEERY OUTLOOK ON LIFE, I HAVE A JOB THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF MY EYES, I LOVE MOVIES!, I LOVE FOOTBALLS, I NEED TO DO RYAN CHAN'S WEDDING FLOWERS WHEN HE GROWS UP.. BUT IM REALLY A WIMP!!.. I WONT BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS TYPE OF A BLOW.. I WILL GO INTO A GREAT STATE OF DEPRESSION!!.. PLEASE!!!!.. I CANNOT LOSE THIS EYE.  no... i did not say all this to the docs.. i sure was thinking all of it tho. 

:: so after A LOOOOOOOOOOOOT of antibiotics and medical monitoring every day last couple of days.. there is progress!.. and tuyen will still be able to make pretty flowers!!  still cant bear very bright lights or daylight but w/the progress i have.. i am sooooo very thankful!  now hopefully the scar from everything wont be too bad so no surgery is needed afterwards because i am complete chickenshit! 

:: Ann, however hasnt had as much good luck.  she completely blew out her tire driving last night and somehow punctured something in the car that holds liquids during all of it.. messed up her alignment and completely shot up her (what do you call that thing that your tires go on?.. that!.. she completely f*cked that up).. i dont know how she did it.. she didnt even know she did it until some person told her at a red light.. and oh yeah.. while she was trying to jack the car before i came.. she puts the jack in the wrong place.. completely f*cks up the grill of the car (its the low-riding matrix).. and its completely whacked out of place and f*cked up.. (yes.. i paid for the car, but its been called her car since i moved to ny and shes never around when im home for me to drive it.. so i must take myself out of this and not let it get to me.. which it hasnt.. I HAVE BOTH OF MY EYES BY THE WAY!!!) so yeah.. lotta $$$$$ for ann in this new year.  only thing that sucked was that ann calls home (Lan and i were still awake at 2 watching movies).. and we went out in the freeeeeeeeeezing cold to be heros!  thers a longer version to this story but i wont go there. 

:: i was home and laughing at this really random chain-reaction incident that happend to noki, ryan and my mom and i was eating this.. doughy soup thing (what we eat for chinese new year).. and the doughy balls (phuong made the dough) was really, REALLY slippery and it ran straight down my throat (this is something u usually have to chew).. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!  *cough cough*.. *cough cough cough!!!*.. whew!  im alive!  made lan laff. 

:: some other really random stuff happend.. its soooo wierd.. put the 4 of us, ryan and my mom and noki together and we've got a circus of wierd random stuff happening.. and this all went whack when the new year started.  somehow none of this has affected Kevin.. hmm..


we're gonnna wait for Chinese New Year to really celebrate a new year..
oh.. pictures soon.. many pictures.  (if im not lazy)

ps. if you ever have any eye issues.. random blobs showing up in your eye.. take those friggin contacts out and go to an eye specialist (no.. not just a normal eye doc who give you your prescription) or emergency room.. things like this can quickly leed to blindness if not taken care of.  and there are just too many pretty things in this world to not take things seriously.
