I don't shower

Me: Ok, I just finished working out. At what time do you want to meet?
Thanh: Already?
Me: Yeah, it was intense.
Thanh: You had time to shower and everything?
Me: I don't shower, and I don't smell.
Thanh: ...

Dinner with girls I barely know

Most of the time, I feel I have nothing in common with these girls. I don't like fashion, I don't like make-up, I don't like shopping...and I freak out when a girl tells me I'm pretty. It's like...yeah, thanks, you too. It's not the kind of relationship I want to share with other girls.

I never had girly girlfriends. All my girlfriends are girls I've known since childhood or adolescence...or meanies that I love nonetheless. But girls that are always complimenting each other and talking being spoiled, etc, is quite new to me. I, sometimes, have a hard time believing what they are telling me.

Then, why am I hanging out with them? Curiosity? boredom?...I don't know. Sometimes, I feel as if I'm observing a different kind of species in the wild, and I like it. I also like how I know none of them in depth; it makes me wonder what kind of person they are in real life...Am I weird?

Sometimes, I forget that I kind of look not that bad...

Getting ready for some serious workout, haha...

Saturday shopping

At a photography conference

All pictures taken by Dan Pham.

This was a conference organized by a friend of mine to help raise funds for the Vietnamese Boat People Museum Project. It was awesome, just look at my serious face :)

La Nuit Blanche

@La nuit Blanche

I kind of wanted to see the "Art Souterrain", but we were pretty late, and were hungry, so we went for some late night snack. Then, we went to the Cinematheque for "La grande nuit du rock". It was quite good, although I was very sleepy. I completely fell in love with Freddie Mercury from Queen. He has so much charisma and such a great voice. Ahh, memories..

Lastly, we went to Fantasia. I usually like short movies, because I like how they never tell you enough; it leaves up a lot of interpretation and imagination. But I thought most of the movies that night just didn't have any point...Although I could see the effort that went into producing these movies...

That was my first time going to La Nuit Blanche. I don't exactly see the point of staying up so late just to smell rotten beer, and to be in the middle of a crowd of lousy people and noisy kids; would have totally enjoyed this more during day time.
