Hello World :)
So here's the dish on me myself and I.
My name is An and I'm Vietnamese (please see below under "An's daily vents" about how to CORRECTLY pronounce my name). I'm strictly here for friends, family and networking. I have my own fashion accessories line called Banana An™, you can check it out and buy stuff at www.BananaAn.com you'll love it, I promise! I dabbled in modeling since high school and loved it. I still model from time to time, but this little girl is all grown up now - I'm definitely more focused on my future and my business.
I have the best boyfriend in the entire world and his name is Chris Dyer (I usually refer to him as Superman or Prince Charming). Sure, everyone thinks they have the best boyfriend - but I really do! You see, he treats me like a princess; it's been two years and he still
-opens doors for me (building doors AND car doors)
-always drives (his car or mine)
-pays (unless i insist and battle over it)
-text messages me cute random thoughts throughout the day
-emails me cute random thoughts throughout the day and ecards
-calls me throughout the day
-sends me flowers at work
-leaves cute cards in various places for me to find (my purse, car, drawers etc...)
-takes me on romantic dates
-goes out of his ways to hunt down that one snack I'm craving for LOL
Ok so this list can go on and on... but most of all - he truly loves me despite all the many flaws I have. What flaws? Well let me tell you ;) ... now I wouldn't say I'm (financially) high maintenance like most people assume... I've always worked hard to earn a living and pay for all my own bills and support myself. Sure, he buys me lots of nice things but I can honestly say I have never asked him to and I always insist on buying things for myself. However, I'm excruciatingly emotionally high maintenance. I need his attention 24/7. I need affection and a hell of a lot of it including holding hands, snuggling, kisses - the works. We've lived together practically since we first met; I came over to watch a movie one night and I never left. Seriously. Next thing you know, I had a key to the house, three out of five of the drawers in his dresser and half of his closet. He also installed another cabinet just for my stuff LOL. It's bizarre that we get along so well living together because.. well, I'm a complete mess - the type of girl that tries on 8 outfits before leaving the house and leaves the remaining 7 tossed around the room, and him? He's a neat freak who cleans regularly and has to have the bed made *his way.... Somehow, it just works - and i FUCKING love him.
Other things you should know about me: I'm Roman Catholic and proud of it. Don't bother trying to convert or preach to me because I will throw my Catechism book in your face. I'm not saying I'm a saint - I sin every now and then, but I repent and that is what matters.
I can't wait to marry Superman and have kids a few years after that (before I'm 30). He knows this, so it ain't no secret. I just have to be patient. Did I mention I'm very impatient LOL but he's worth it.
My family means the world to me. They are my heroes. Look twice, save lives. Motorcyclist are everywhere. That being said, I hate motorcycles. I think those guys that walk around everywhere carrying their cool motorcycle helmets are pathetic and lame. I think girls that jump up and down about how "hot" motorcycle guys are, are lame too. See, I can honestly say that I grew up around motorcycles. I rode on motorcycles as a toddler before I even knew how to walk! I grew up with adrenalin feigning men in my family. My dad used to pick me up from (private Catholic) school on a motorcycle - yes, me in my plaid skirt on the back of my Dad's Suzuki 750 praying the entire way home. So why all this anger? The woman and (four) men I love the most have been in serious - near fatal motorcycle accidents. I won't go into details about it because I'm sure they'd all like their privacy, but I don't think motorcycles are worth it - in my eyes they are not cool. We're lucky they are still alive and blessed that they are back to normal. I really do despise motorcycles, but I love those 5 people and hey - boys will be boys... and they love their toys.
I am extremely driven and ambitious. I am determined for success - being "content" is not an option.
I am very friendly and nice - although, I do look stuck-up and I know this - but looks are very deceiving.
I can't stand people that are melodramatic or act stupid - no, it's not cute.
I am very big on manners and respect; Chivalry is not dead.
I am pro-life, there is never a "good reason".
I only talk shit once the person talks shit about me first - then and only then is it on and poppin'!
I'm super easy when it comes to food... I think those 1 dollar frozen tv dinners are delicious. I love Vietnamese food (naturally!) and trust me, if you think Pho is good - wait until you taste everything else! I love to cook - but only in my own kitchen. I get frustrated in other people kitchen because God knows, when I want a whisk, knife, spatula or garlic mincer - I want it immediately in my hands; none of that hunting around and asking people.
If you hadn't noticed already - I'm obsessed with fashion. You can read the About Us section of www.BananaAn.com to find out what I mean. I love mixing highs and lows - so you can find me rockin' an $8 forever 21 top with my $300 jeans, less than $10 worth of jewelry, a $1200 bag, a jacket i found at Ross for $12 and $380 heels. No joke.
I'm not a music person (yes, I can hear ya'll gasping as you read this) but really though, I can be in the car for 4 hours and not realize there's no music playing. Sure, I listen to music from time to time and of course I have my likes and dislikes, but I'm really fine without any at all - it's bizarre.
My Dad always found it my hidden talent that I could be listening to one song and singing a completely different song without getting confused or distracted. I can also count money while someone yells out random numbers. I used to get in trouble in class for talking while the teacher is lecturing, but yet I can recite exactly what the teacher just said while I was in the middle of a different conversation about shoes. Needless to say, I've very good at multitasking.
Ok, well I think I've written enough random facts about myself for now - but don't worry - I'll continue to add as I go ;)
