I've been MIA for a while. I miss this place. Very short entry today. I found something that I think sums me up very well.
Everyone sees who I appear to be.
But only a few know the real me.
You only see what I choose to show.
There's so much behind this smile...
You don't even know.
Will be back another time with something else. Keep safe and healthy people!
Hugs & Kisses to all <3

Hello world~
Quickie update today. I've been meaning to blog for the pass few days but never found the time to sit down and write a proper blog entry. I'll save that for the next entry but for now...picture time!!!
As previously mentioned, I was scheduled to graduate and be admitted in the first 2 weeks of October. Here are pictures taken on the day of graduation.
EDIT: Photo album has been taken off (I'm sorry!). Set the account to private again because the sketches in that album were being taken without permission. Byterz! Please go to my FB for the graduation pictures if you have not already seen them. Thanks! (^_^)
Because cameras were not allowed at the Admission ceremony, there's no real pictures for that event. I think my pops took about 2 pics from our normal camera before the battery died. =.=
Til next time...
Hugs and Kisses to all <3

Graduation is coming up in 5 days and to me, it seems like I'm slowly running out of time. Running out of time for what? I don't really know...I'm just running out of time. Grasping on the last piece of freedom before I have no choice but to 'grow up' and take on responsibilities. To enter the 'rat race' as some would like to call it. To make a living, to suit up and work like everyone else.
Last time when graduation came around, I don't think it was of any significance to me at all because in reality, no change occurred and I continued to go on with my student life. Guaranteed a further 3 years of student living, of casual jobs, of hectic assignments and plenty of holiday time. This time however, this time it's real. Graduation this time signifies a change in my life. No longer can I hide behind my shield and have nothing to worry about aside from finishing my assignments, passing my exams and not get into any trouble in class - this time it's real.
Then again, I do realise I'm not the only one that will be graduating. I think the only reason why I'm so petrified about this whole new stage of life is because my parents have babied me throughout my whole life, therefore, the thought of finally doing something on my own kind of scares me. All I do wish for is that I don't screw anyone over while I stumble around to find out what I'm supposed to be doing in my chosen career path. The last thing I want to do is mess up someone's life or business because I'm not the competent lawyer that everyone thinks I am.
Fingers crossed. At least last time when I was in a legal role at my old workplace I didn't seem to stuff up anyone's file. That alone gives me some sort of hope. =)
Chosen words of the moment: this was from Amber's (aka Thao's) previous blog skin. I like it.
Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here's a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if i should break, if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take, a little of the weight
Or I'll fall through
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give you all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time, walk a little line
Got the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight.

For those who live in Sydney or Brisbane, you would have all experienced the weird weather that was today. We were hit by a very severe dust storm that made our skies a bizarre shade of orange. I woke up at 6.30am to get ready for a job interview at 9.30am in the city and was utterly surprised to see that the sky was orange! As a result, I decided to skip the interview (job opportunity loss >.<) and have my little sister stay at home. There was no way I was walking around in that weather. I stepped outside for approximately 2 minutes to see what was going on and walked inside to the smell of raw dust. For those that don't know, I'm not very fond of dust...and it's not just me being prissy or girly, it's more of a health thing. =)
Here's some pictures to show you what I mean ^^

This lasted approximately 7-9 hours starting from 6.30am when I woke up (I assume it started way before that) in my area but lasted a little longer in the City. Hopefully it'll be back to normal tomorrow as something like this was not only dangerous to commuters but an extreme inconvenience to those traveling in and out of the country.
We've been told it's a "once in a lifetime" event by the news outlets but in this crazy world, I wouldn't be too quick to make assumptions. Anything can happen.
Thought of the moment: live life like tomorrow's your last day. There's not enough time in the world so enjoy it while it's there.

What does your name mean?
Here's what mine means....apparently so.
****
You entered: Anh Phuong Nguyen Tran
There are 19 letters in your name.
Those 19 letters total to 99
There are 6 vowels and 13 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 9
The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.
The expression or destiny for #9:
The expression that you exhibit is represented by the number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the 'big brother or big sister' type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It's possible that you're not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.
If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.
Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.
Your Soul Urge number is: 1
A Soul Urge number of 1 means:
Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.
The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.
The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.
Your Inner Dream number is: 8
An Inner Dream number of 8 means:
You dream of success in the business or political world, of power and control of large material endeavors. You crave authority and recognition of executive skills. Your secret self may have very strong desire to become an entrepreneur.
*******
Fairly interesting observation. I think the "The expression or destiny" part was fairly correct. Not so much the other parts. I don't think I'm the leader type...well not as of right now. Definitely not a leader in business. Maybe something else? Who knows.
