To those who enjoy reading the newspaper,

My sister spoke with my dad the other day. He asked, "So, how is Linh with getting me my newspapers? They really make me happy."

The next day, I got out of bed and got ready to bike to China Town for my dad's newspapers. My reward was a baked pork bun and no headache trying to find parking. My dad's reward 4 Vietnamese newspapers.

It was a nice adventure.

Enjoy reading my newspaper horoscope,

To those who stop and smell the roses,
Last month I went to the Rose Garden near my house. The roses were in full bloom and fragrances! There were so many roses with all colors and smells that I became excited jumping from rose to rose to see the beauty in all of them.

It amazes me to see that nature can create rich beautiful colors!

Walking slowly to smell the flowers,

To those who make their room their own,

Very recently my room had been a hot mess of messes due to working 6 days a week and attending two classes three days a week. Clothes and shoes everywhere. There was even a small little path where things were pushed to the side and my door had to be closed if guests arrived. It was beginning to be too much.

Lately, I have been making some progress on my room. One day picking up all the stuff that was on my floor. Another day going through papers. And yesterday evening, I vacuumed my floor rugs, organized, and sorted through things. I had so much fun. I am definitely a keeper of things but I am getting better. My inspirations entail purchasing Anthology Living with Substances and Styles magazine, re-doing my room as a summer project and having a garage sale in a couple of weeks.

I even have a little display area on my dresser that I plan on changing when I feel like it. I really like changing things up frequently. It keeps me on my toes.

Excited to enter my room,
