Ichigo's Idiotic Thoughts

and i mean a lot.

What made me start thinking about it more was when my Vietnamese teacher suggested us to ask my parents about their stories of how they came over here,

America.

So i asked my mom about it when she picked me up from school.

She told me many things,

things that changed my perspective on my parents,

and things that made some of my questions about them solved.

She told me how the communists took everything from everybody in the south of Vietnam,

including herself.

Before all of that happened,

my mom was rich..

She had many rice fields,

and her dad owned an ice company!

Shocking..~

And my great grandfather was the richest in the village!

Even more shocking!

But my uncles and my mom lost all of it,

because of the communists...

The communists took all of her rice fields and took over her company,

all of money and precious belongings...

That must be a heartbreaking day for every southern Vietnamese person..

Well i was glad my mom and her family were able to all escape,

otherwise who'll know what would happen if they found them.

I might never be alive here today!

On the other hand though,

my dad's past was a bit more sad..

Even before the big incident,

my dad's family was still poor.

And now the communists made him more poor!

Man!

Messed!!!

BOO COMMUNISTS!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! (#=w=)O

But what made my dad's past even more sad,

was that he was the only one who could escape to America..

His other members didn't go with him,

because since he is the youngest,

they want him to have the best life.

So when he came over here,

he was alone...

Now that explains why he is so worried about my brother and I.

Because my mom,

my brother,

and I are the only ones who are family to him now.

The only ones who he can trust in this country.

And if he loses us,

he would experience that painful past again...

He had to support himself,

and had to pay for school for himself.

He had school during the beginning of his days,

and then his job at Taco Bell at the end of his days.

And he only biked from his school to his job,

and from his job to home...

Must be very tiring....

No wonder he wants us to have a good job.

He would always say:

"Work hard in school! Or you will work at Taco Bell!!'

At first i thought he was just using Taco Bell as an example,

like the first topic that came up in his head.

But no.

It's because he wants us to have a better life then him,

like how his family wanted him to have a better life.

[I just noticed,

my mom,

a rich laday,

married my dad,

a poor man.

This kind of reminds me of those typical manga/drama/stories....

pbfft ( owo)]

Now that i have learned the truth,

I will now try my best to return their love,

even though my dad's way of love is strict and hard...

Ty Mr. Robert Nguyen,

my Vietnamese teacher,

for guiding me to help me understand my family more.

[which reminds me....

every day...

he would always say:

'come on mouse!'

to his computer mouse because sometimes it didn't work.

And right when he said 'mouse' i kept thinking of my guy friend...

{facepalm}

Oi Vey..

And i might go to the Vietnamese Cultural Night at LQ this Friday,

which is an hour after my piano class,

the same school that my guy friends goes too,

and place that he will be at.

I have no idea why i want to go there...

but somehow..

something is dragging me to go to LQ......

What though....?]
