About Me


Independent Film I was in as Suzy the Mayor's Daughter:
My First Cartoon... hehe
Hi... I am half Vietnamese, 1/4 Italian and 1/4 Hungarian. My parents met in the Vietnam war. I go to Cal State Long Beach--majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Web Development. I've liked computers since I can remember. I'm a closet computer geek... I got hooked when I went to Daddy Daughter day at my dads work when I was little.. I got to take a tour of his workplace and saw them building space shuttles, satellites, got to see 'behind the scenes' and I was in love.. I want to program video games and educational games when I'm done with school... among other things... Right now I work at ICP DAS USA as a Technical Sales Engineer / Application Engineer.
I have a 5 lb yorkshire terrier, BABY and one of her puppies, I named her Kiwi and she's 3 pounds. I LOVE them. They're adorable, tiny, smart and sweet. They're always happy to see me. hehe. My brother and sister in law have an adorable boy yorkie... KIRBY. When I first saw KIRBY I knew I had to have a yorky.. I loved how he looked like an ewok. My brother has one of Baby's puppies too and he named him Sunny.
I love to laugh. I love to feel. I'm observant. I think a lot. I love sunsets. I love the sound of rain hitting the roof. I like arboretums. I like picnics. I love to cuddle with someone I care about. I'm romantic. I like walking on piers at the beach at night. I love sushi. I love frozen yogurt. I love surprises. The little things count. A little effort goes a long way. I like movies with an unexpected ending. I love road trips. I love to learn something, anything new.
I read a book that really touched my life... it's called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It made me want to do things differently. You can read more about all that in my blog called About me...
I love my family and friends. I try to learn from others mistakes, my mistakes, I apologize when I'm wrong, I follow my heart... while listening to my head... I'm pretty easy going, I love to laugh ;) I love to joke, make jokes, hear jokes... Don't take my kindness for weakness... :P A little effort goes a long way.
I like making happy memories that make me smile when I look back and think of them.
