Healthy Living: WINTER QUARTER DONE!

omg. I don't even know where to begin!
MY SCORES CAME OUT TODAY!!!

I can just cry :(  ... tears... of JOY!!!
This is by far.. one of the highest grades I have ever got in my past 3 YEARS OF COLLEGE!!
T___T

I GOT an A on my Biology Exam....After failing nearly 2 of the midterm.. I thought I was a gonner. I  had a 40% final left. But.. you know.. if you fail the midterm, it would take a miracle to get an A on the final.. And in the past, I have never done it. Never. If i got a bad grade on the midterm, it's usually, it's always impossible to ace the final..

... like they said. It's always impossible until IT IS DONE!! :DD

There were 45 questions on the exams. I GOT A 41 question CORRECT!! THEREFORE.. raising my Bio grade standing from a B- to an A-!!!!  :DD

I PASS BIOLOGY WITH AN A-!!!!

... and then there was physic.
I got a B+ last quarter :( .. I know it's not a bad grade.. but if I'm thinking of medical school. Then, I need to bump it up..

I ACE MY PHYSIC CLASS THIS QUARTER!?!?! ^__________^ HAHAHA

My report card isn't out yet. But it means that .. for the FIRST TIME IN MY 2 YEARS in my UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE.. I HAVE NO "B's" in my transcript this quarter!!! :DD

I can cry now :(
This quarter has been a struggle.

Healthy Living: Spring Break 2013

Spring Break is here!

First off, I just want to make some little confession. The first thing is that I have been eating very unhealthy for the weeks leading up to finals. I am guilty of all of those chocolates and coffee.
It really did affect my photoshoot these days. If you notice, my cheecks are rounder, and I am wearing more "conservative" clothes. No shirts, no dresses, nor girlys stuff. Just really straight forward shirt + pants. It's because there are some blubbery part I wanna hide for now.

But with that said, I made a vow to myself. I AM GONNA BE HEALTHIER THIS SPRING QUARTER! But to be realistic, my next quarter is extremely busy. I don't know how I can afford to go to the gym or even eat healthy. hm.. This problem still troubles me a lot. I have not figured out a way to be healthy yet.

I tried to keep track of my calories.. but some days.. its just bad.
I want to be fit. I want to be able to run a mile each day. I really really really want it.
But then again, I really really really really want to do well in school. I also really really really want to have time to myself.. so that I DON'T GO CRAZY.

But at the end of the days, I don't want to be another complaining girl on the internet. I think I have to find that balance. And, its really hard to find a balance.

Things that are waiting for me next quarter:

-2 Competitive bio class
-1 Difficult physic lab
-2 Research Positions
-1 Volunteer service
-1 Difficult Physic Class
-1 session Studying MCAT

And that's not to mentioned "unexpected events" from life. Oh boy, I'm not sure how I'm going to fend for myself. I need to go back to my drawing board and figure out how this will work..

Reaching 120 lbs seems somewhat impossible at this rate.
OKAYY.. I'm done complaing! I'll come back next time with a battle plan!! UNTIL THEN, KEEP FIGHTING EVERYONE!

Healthy Living: Dependent

WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Omg. I can’t believe that some people feels this way. THIS POEM ISN’T TRUE!
If you are dependent on someone for happiness, then you were never really happy to begin in the first place. HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN.  Stop putting hopes in someone else to come and save you ASS!

Stand Up for yourself. Find your own reason to be happy. Whether there is a person in your life or not, it does not matter.

“When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere” - François de la Rochefoucauld

I admit. I was feeling the same thing as the poem above for the past few days. But then, when I visited my ex's tumblr. He is a guy that I dated back in high school. I haven't check his facebook & tumblr in a while.And when I came across this poem that he reblogged on his tumblr. It just struck me that.. whoever believe this to be true is A COMPLETE LOSER!

This is a wake up call for me. And I hope he realize this pretty soon. He's stronger than what he thinks he is.

Keep going

I am a little tired and busy tonight. But I want to put this picture up. To remind all of us what we are fighting for.

Healthy living: New scale!

I got a new scale! :D THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING!

Healthy Living: NOT SO HEALTHY

It happened again T__T
I screwed up on my bio midterm and now..I am eating boxes of chocolates.. one after another. I drink a bunch of coffee.

I hate it. I am not on track with my weight, I eat poorly and it has been nearly 3 months since I exercise. My excuse is school and midterms. But I screw up on my midterm and that make me feel terrible.

I eat chocolate. And I eat fatty food. I eat a lot of food. I consume a lot of coffee and sugar drink. I don't wanna do a photoshoot b/c then.. i look chubby. BUT THEN AGAIN, i haven't done a photoshoot in like.. forever. so that is even worse.

I sleep very late too, so I been waking up feeling really tired. I don't know, I am just done for the last few days because of my poor grades in my midterm. I know it not the end of the world, but it sure does feel pretty bad.

I know I'm just whinning and complaining and moping about my bad grades. But really, it makes me sad. I already sacrefice my exercise days to study for midterms. And then I fail the midterms. And then I eat more fatty food to comfort myself. Do you see the trend?!? I doo!! My healthy is poor too. I can barely fit my jeans. Oh boy,

I need to get myself together so I can get my life together. I need to get my head back and my spirit back. There is still the final. I need to pull myself together. There is hope for the final. The final. But I still can't seem to do it. I still mope around, I still waste myself away listening to music, and just eating really unhealthy food. I simply dont' want to do anything school related at all!!

UGHH!! I need to pick myself up, but I can't seem to do it. I studied so hard for that stupid midterm just to BE SQUASHED BY 200 OTHERS OF MY PEERS :((  Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel a little better and maybe then I pick myself up. But tonight, and for the past few days, I am disapointed.

Oh, on the other hand, I got accepted to a hopsital as a volunteer! I got my badge and everything! ^_^ I'm starting next week. OOHH, and I also got accepted to a brand new research group. YAY! That is something to be happy for! I feel so blessed! :D


but then.. MY GRADES T______T

Healthy Living: slipping

Vietnamese New Years went great! I went to the festival with my baby cousin and we had a really good time. Also, I made many new year resolution. I hope to be a better person in this coming new year and also a better student.

However, recently, I have been slipping in my eating habit. I consume a lot more sweets. I'm back at 130 lbs :( Which makes me sad. My weight fluctuate so much! I need to get back on the ladder and try to be in health shape. I haven't hit the gym in nearly 2 weeks and all of this celebration leads to excesses consuming of unhealthy food.

I want to be get back to the low 120s but I have not found any motivation lately. Midterms are coming on again, so most of my time are devoteded to it. I really need to buckle down and stop complaining about my circumstance. I need to suck it up. I'm a big girl now!! ARRGH!

So, let's try again. I can't get to the gym for the next few days, but I can watch what I eat. Hopefully, this will less the weight gain. I need to start eating healther. Gotta gain back motivation!!! :((

 NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! or.. at least a BETTER VERSION!
