An-dy- Ngu-yen:
1. (Noun): A person whose parents had green thumbs while growing up, which made stopping to smell the roses literally child’s play. This is something I whole-heartedly believe in since I am scared to death of waking up one day to find that life has passed me by so I try to live in the moment. Being raised Buddhist as a child; I was taught what goes around comes around. You reap what you sow, and what I sowed were flowers ironically (The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree).
Ignorance is bliss when one is a child. That’s debatable however when one is a middle child. I guess you can say which puts me in between a rock and hard place since I was never spoiled to death. It may have been written in the stars but my younger brother and I were born on the same month so while growing up, joint birthday celebrations meant it was impossible to have my own cake and eat it, too. And yet every year, I still blow out the candles and make a wish…
I guess you can say that makes me a dreamer with my head always in the clouds. That cloud usually has a silver lining since I like to see the positive aspect in things; seeing the glass half-full and believing that when life gives you lemons, one makes lemonade (though lime is preferable since it goes hand-in-hand with tequila and is also usually why the glass is half-full).
I am a hopeless romantic who believes in true love; the idea of soul mates if you will, and that there is someone for everyone. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me that money can’t buy you love, I would be filthy rich.
As clichéd as it sounds, I just want world peace…
2. (Verb): To live life to the fullest.
3. (Adjective): Drop dead gorgeous
