When good memories haunts you

I found two old diaries of mine and one of them that are dated back to summer 2004, when I visited China for the first time and fell in love with the cute "hamster holding a  four-leaf clove" cover. It was at market in Shanghai that I bought it. It was actually not my first diary, because i have kept diary since i was old enough to know how to write.  The first reason why I kept diary was because my parents wanted to keep an eye on me. They were quite busy with work and felt like they were not there, when i needed them the most. Now it is just funny for me to reminisce every story, every feeling, every smile and all the memories that one small book can contain, but most of all - every single tear that have stained on some of the pages.
I named everyone of them and when i started i would always write:"Hi....."

My first diary, Diddle, was filled up with nightmares: 2001-2003

My second, Hamster, was mostly about my trips overseas:  06/06-2004 - 30/07-2006 

My third, Pucca was mostly about growing up and my friends: 18/09-06 - 06/06-07

My fourth, HA (harajuku angel), was only about my one month (alone)trip to USA: Summer 2010







My sixth, Emiby, is this blog. 

And always on the very first page, I would write my name and my address and only one address, in the first book, is not the same as the others. 

I wished i had showed my parents my first diary. It would might have told them why i have my issues and why I am like I am. I had a disturbing past, a lot of confusion, misunderstandings and hatred that i kept sealed with my smile. I always smiled, I always laughed, I was always quiet. My parents raised us kids right, but they just didn't raise me. In blood I am their daughter but in mind they have never been my parents.


The Diddle,  P 89, L 16:  "....they asked me if I wanted to and I said no. No I don't want to. but now i am here. Why do I have to be with them?...   -------- ...... If I move HE will move with me and HE will hide under my bed and HE will watch me sleep, kiss me on my forehead, telling me good stories....HE WILL BE EVERYWHERE"



- that was my meeting with IT in the form as PENNYWISE .... and now, about 10 years later I'm trying to face my fear by reading the book. I haven't slept well since i started and properly won't.



SUUUUUSHI!

Hiiiiiiii Jennifer here! I'm going to make a short post from emtie's blog. We're going to make sushi today, yaaaaaay! So exciting! Beside eating it I don't think I'll to any help at all :'(.

When I was in Copenhagen last week ... I also had curfew, but I enjoyed being alone and do something I haven't done for a while: Read and be creative. As you already have seen in one of my recent posts, I have baked but my dearest aunt had let me borrow her sewing machine, if I ever got bored(never going to happen in that house), and I had accidentally bought my broken jeans and my knee long t-shirt with me. She rarely uses it and gladly let me play around with it and I managed to catch up with some old techniques i have learned from school. A couple of hours, a lot of tea, some CSI, spider hunt and a lot of "HUUHHH"-sighs later, I turned my boring t-shirt into a funny-boring t-shirt.
Here is the result of my jeansstar-shirtdress project I have showed you guys in my Clinique v'log. I was just started when i showed you guys it, but I have rearranged the stars when i started to sew them on.
AND - I have finally removed all the stupid needles ! ... if you like to know it... I bleed like 5 times.


btw. I have just added a new section/category to the blog and it will list my future DIY-projects.

Curfew

A new week has just begun, I'm back in school and i have curfew.... yes WHATTHE ?

What: My parents and I had a discussion about my iPhone - and it ended up in a fight.
Why: There is no reason why we had this fight .... I can't normally talk to my parents for more than 4-6 minutes before it ends up in a fight and that is normal.  This time we went from iPhone specifications to GPS-systems and to why I don't behave like a normal/good daughter.
When: The curfew ends... when it ends... I actually have two different curfews this time: My mother's and my father's are separated and different.

 - My father's is temporary: I'm not allowed to use my iPhone and I have to eat less. no sweets.


       - My mother's is.... barely human: I'm not allowed to be with my friends after school and i have to be home in less than 40 minutes after school is finished. She will call me every second minute to check, if I haven't arrived yet. No parties, not even birthdays or school parties.  no sweets. I am not even allowed to visit my own family like cousins and grandparents, but i don't care - It is my mother's parents and they love me more than anyone and they would stop by and kidnap me, if they knew that i was not allowed to visit them. She would keep my siblings away from me.... but she would let me keep my phone... and check it as much as she can ... and my laptop too.... and Facebook... 


Why are my parents being like this?  - don't ask me ! I can't argue with them because of my culture ... or rather their culture... or just rules.... rules in my family - among the five of us. It says that even if my parents are wrong about anything they are still right about everything.

I have talked with my grandmother and she told me that asians have a different culture when it comes to behavior and how parents raise their children.. but to my surprise she still claims that my parents are negatively extraordinary. ^^.


My mother just asked me how school was, what my thought were about my grades and if i had the feeling that i would be able to pass the exams and graduate - "because i don't want you to end up like %&"#%€".
And then she told me ....( nothing new... just the same sentence she likes to use....) that she doesn't give a dime about me, but the pride of the family and if i could stay out of trouble in order to not do any harm to the name of the family... and that i should hate myself.



And why don't i do anything about it ? - Let's just say that i'm used to it and therefore i have avoided any kind of gathering. I have stopped eating dinner with them for the past two years. 
Words are my replacement for a meal and it doesn't satiate, but it is more than enough to puke of.



I hate my life and I wanna die
I ain't got no iPhone
My heart is breakin', thinkin' suicide
I ain't got no iPhone

Shapes






Each pictures were taken with five minutes between them to demonstrate that my hair is difficult to work with and that the curls straightens themselves after some time* - I used hairspray and termo-proctection for my hair. 


I hang out with Baaby from saturday to sunday in Malmø and we had a blast !
I wore my favorite polkadot-dress and got some fresh air for my legs. The water was ahhhhmaazing!
We went down town Malmø and walked around, did some sightseeing and enjoyed life for 5 hours straight. loved it !
But ... I also found a gorgeous coat that i have to have ... HAVE TO HAVE !§!


Oh yeah. We talked about boobs for 1 hour ..., big, small, square, triangles, round... HAHAHAH !!! 
We always think that nobody would understand us if we talked in Danish.. Yeah, swedish is different from danish (not*)... We underestimate them too much.


Baaby's hair is soft and thin and easy to curl but mine is both heavy ... and straight.
Baaby tried to curl it, and after some struggle ... and a doze of chemicals, she managed to do some light curls/waves. Gotta' love it !!!

The more damaged my hair is ... The easier it is to curl it... 
look how..."flat" the upper part/root is ...


Talking about boobies again...
I am going to stalk some Victoria Secret Angels the rest of the night . ... SEEE YAAAA!!

Do you like to bake? I have seen many cakes on your blog.

























No ! I hate to bake and that is all because my parents always hate me when i do it. They would always yell at me... I have a sweet tooth, but i am not allowed to eat sweets, because they think that i am fat. What can i say ? As a vietnamese girl I am only allowed to agree with them.

Btw. It is greentea macarons with chocolate-espreseeo and lemon/lime cream in the middle.

The mask

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN'






















Does not make you cool, so what is good about it ? Why do it ? Why try it? Why even think about it ? It doesn't only affects your health but also your surroundings.

Here's a Quit smoking poem:

I lie in here, beside the whitewashed wall,
My hair is gone, my head is bald,
The room is sterile and it's very cold,
Wish you were here, Dad, I need someone to hold.

I can't breathe, I'm on a machine,
It goes whirr and click, it's such a din,
I've got lung cancer, it's all black inside,
When Mom says smoking causes cancer, Dad, I think she lied.

I never lit up, even when you did,
I just sat next to you, a small little kid,
You huffed and puffed through your life, Dad,
And Mom always looked so very sad.

My friends asked me to smoke, but I never did,
Because Mom told me from young: smoking is stupid,
It soots up your lungs and blackens your teeth,
So when I see a smoker, Dad, I anger and seethe.

You smoked two packs a day but you're still healthy and strong,
I hate smokers, Dad, but I never thought you wrong,
I love you, Dad, I always sat next to you,
And I know that you always loved me too.

The room here is cold, I see you through the glass,
And I think back to long ago, Dad, of times past,
Of the memories, I recall as much as I can,
There's always been a cigarette, Dad, stuck inside your hand.

I remember the fun things, Dad, all the times we had,
But as I look at you from here, you look so very sad,
You're not smoking, Dad, no cigarette I can see on you,
Maybe it's just the hospital, and this is the ICU.

My breathing becomes labored, I don't think I'll live,
Well, I tried my best, I gave all I had to give,
But one thing, Dad, I cannot comprehend,
I'm not a smoker, so why is my life about to end?

Leave it

The Autumn holiday starts this friday and I have since the middle of september made my plans for the entire week. I was going to have an intimate dinner party at my friends house with some of my classmates, two 18th birthdays to attend and just relax and start with some morning exercise again. I have also finally got my book from the library and I have been looking forward to have time to read it. I have other appointments too. Actually i have to cancel 5 appointments and dates. I have told my parents about it since september and they had no arguments or plans themselves. For me family comes first, so i have decilined a lot of plans because of them, but This time they took my kindness to the limit.

They told me earlier today that they want to visit my grandparents(fathers side) for a week . No actually 10 days, which mean I have to Cancel all my plans and that's makes me unrelieable. My friends knows that my parents are strict, but because of culture deep down they don't get why my parents are acting like this.
And we did not discuss. They yelled at me because I'm not allowed to say anything or say what I have in mind.

It's a freaking nightmare!!

I was so mad that I biked 6 km in 15 min and stayed at my grandparents house (mother's side) for 7 hours. I talked with two of my uncles about the issue and they told me I am only able to be free when I'm 18 and have moved out in order to live independent. One single problem: if I move - my parents wants to move with me... They told me.... but what is the point with moving out if your parents move with you?.' they have always told me that i have to be independent but how when they are like that !?

My grandmother just said that there is only a year before I turn 18 and then I can live "outside"(from home)
Guess what ? I said without thinking at all: " I have been living outsider for 7 years now. Can i move back home please ?"
2 sec. And we all laughed untill our stomach started to hurt.
She told me some of her experiences and I asked her why they had to yell at me instead of talking with me. The best answer I have ever head in my life : "simple, they are just bored" and that came from my grandmother , whom really respects traditions.

In the end i had to go home. Only because it was dark I biked 15 km in 23 min. yes I turned my stopwatch on because I knew I would bike faster if i'm scared. Usually it takes me about 45 min in daytime and that is downhill all the way with the wind in my back.
When I came home I made myself four cups of tea and did my home works in the kitchen. My mother came down and she was a bit shocked and asked me when I came home. But I could not believe my own ears when she asked me how I got inside because she was so sure she had locked all the doors.... I am so damn happy that I bought my keys with me.!!

Btw. When I'm either sad or angry my face breaks out with blackheads which makes the surface of my face look like the moon. Therefore no pictures of me, but you can get this .




It's quite late so night night owls. I am sleeping in the guest room tonight. FYI all the bedrooms are upstairs, so this is the only room downstairs. I am avoiding my parents now.

The first thing I do tomorrow is wake up early and take a long long walk in the dark.

starry-eyes

In my my video for Clinique i was wearing a dress, but some of you saw that there was needles sticking out and that is because that dress is a DYI-project that i want to share with you guys now.
the dress was not finished when i started filming the video.
i was actually just going to try it out to see it the stars were correctly arranged. It looked good on the front but the back was... a catastrophe. My moms sewing machine is ... weird and i don't know how to use it, so i have to ask my aunt if i could borrow the one she has.

The stars are made from my favorite pair of jeans. It is jeans from Pepe Jeans London and they are acid washed. I had to trash them because they were worn out and they had a huge gab at the left side. They were unfixable and i was about to drown in my own tears, because they were so comfortable and unique T___T















I could not throw them out so i recycled them and made the stars in different sizes.









and i had trouble when i had to change.. needless are sure ... painful.
