So update to my world, for the past 45 months I've been dating the love of my life Vy-Anh Nguyen. Oh shit let's break it down, time for a back story, which means....
*Queue Old Timey Footage*
It was the last day of 7th grade at Luther Jackson Middle School, and everyone was walking out to the bus area. I was walking down the sidewalk with HaJung when suddenly we run into my boy Alex, he was holding hands with his new girlfriend Vy-Anh! So Hajung introduced me to Vy-Anh and for some reason I was holding a empty jar from one of my teachers. It's funny because her name was Dr.VeJar. Okay so anyways I met Vy-Anh and I was like literally in love, haha. She was the prettiest girl i have ever seen and I knew I needed her. So fast-forward to the summer, we're having a going away party for our friends Kyle and Mary at Jenny's house. We used to spend a lot of time in Jenny's basement, that was like our hangout spot in 7th grade. So Jenny, company & myself were sitting in the basement planning out this going away party and I remember whenever the talk of invitation came up I was like "Oh man we better invite that Vy-Anh girl" followed by Jenny telling me to stop being so love struck. Then I would just keep going on about how we DEFINITELY need to invite that Vy-Anh girl and then Natalie would tell me to Shut the hell up. Thumbs up for supportive friends! Well I can't blame them I was always falling for every girl, so I guess they were tired of it! Anyways Vy-Anh ends up being invited and I spent the whole day trying to talk to her and spend time with her, which was a total success!
Fast-forward even more, to the start of 8th grade. We started the year and I ended up asking her to be my girlfriend and she ended up saying yes, but because I was a total kid she ended up breaking up with me. Fast-forward to the end of 8th grade, we were at Natalie's house party and I remember sitting outside with her and looking up at the stars. I ended up asking her to be my girlfriend again, and again she said yes! But like last time we ended up breaking up in two weeks, but this time I was able to score a kiss, hehe.
Fast-forward to Sophomore year of high school.
So as always I was this stupid kid who always fell for every girl but this is what led to probably one of the biggest changes in my life. So I was supposed to go to Vy-Anh's house one random day, and when I got there, her friends Erin and Kesiree were there. Kesiree was in a bikini and I was like dayummmmmm, so the following day I was like Vy-Anh help me get to know Kes better. Me and Vy-Anh ended up spending lots of time talking and really getting to know each other and soon I forgot all about my infatuation with Kesiree and ended up falling for this deeper more meaningful connection with Vy-Anh. So from that point on my goal was to be with her, and I ended up liking this girl for the rest of my sophomore year. We spent so much time together, it was amazing. During the winter before her first swim team practice I made her a peanut butter and banana sandwich. During the spring we spent every evening together because we were both doing the Wizard of Oz, and practice was at like 4pm or 6pm but we ended school at 2pm. So all that in-between time was jansen & vy-anh time! We wrote letters and notes to each other all the time. I learned the song "Lucky" for her and sang it with her in a field behind school. I would be constantly skyping with her, even when I was with all our friends and she couldn't make it, I would make sure she was still with me. I didn't really know it then but I was totally in love with her.
There was also this time frame where I lost my virginity to this senior at my school. I'm not going to mention her name because it was supposed to be a secret, so she used to make me call her shy, because she was shy....but let me tell you, she didn't seem very shy *wink* So Vy-Anh and I weren't working during this time, she said she didn't want to give me a third chance and we could only be friends, so I stepped back and that's when I met Shy. She liked me and she was so loving with me, I guess I was in a vulnerable place after not being able to be with Vy-Anh. So here's the thing, she had a boyfriend, but she was coming onto me so strongly, and I was a young fool. I only saw her friday nights and the rest of the week we only texted each other. No one knew what was going on at school we didn't even say hi to each other. I knew her because she was one of my best friend's cousin, so I met her at this dinner. Anyways after sleeping with her a bunch of times and feeling totally horrible about making her cheat I broke it off. Too late obviously but Shy told me that she grew to know me and understand me and told me that I wasn't breaking it off only because I felt guilty. It was more because she knew that I was still totally head over heels for Vy-Anh. To be honest, it was completely true, I was totally missing and wishing I was with Vy-Anh.
Okay so after sophomore year, she left. Yup, she moved away and I would start seeing her very rarely. I guess I just moved on, I started dating someone else and started doing my own thing and just forgot about her. When I saw her on those rare occasions I would just say the same thing to her, "I WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" Then I would see her again of course! But I said it to her every time regardless.
So fast-forward 2 years. I'm doing my own thing, dating Britney, then breaking up with her after 11 months, then falling in love with Gia, then losing her to another guy. Then finally getting Jiwon to like me but then she backs out before it really even meant anything. That really defines those 2 years haha. Anyways I remember there was some show at my school and I was able to catch a glimpse of Vy-Anh walking by, and holy fuck 2 years did her wonders. She looked drop dead gorgeous, she was wearing this black winter jacket, and dark skirt, with black stockings and heels. I saw that and I basically blew up from the inside out. But as usual she was gone and I wouldn't see her for months.
fastforward to Starscape, my first rave. So at Starscape I went with my friends and ended up seeing Vy-Anh there! It was awesome, and both of us like magnets just got attracted to each other and stuck to each other for the whole festival. We both never really got the rave scene so we kinda just spent all the time together catching up and walking around. Funny moment, when I first met Vy-Anh she was a vegetarian, so at Starscape I gave her a piece of chicken and she took a bite and when it clicked that she was eating chicken I Freaked Dicks Out! I WAS LIKE WHY ARE YOU EATING CHICKEN!!!!! YOU CANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but she told me that she stopped being vegetarian a few months ago and I was so relived to hear that. Anyways we spent all of Starscape being together and it really clicked us back together.
From that point on, we were talking again and being closer together, I had these consecutive parties at my condo during the summer and she came to them and we spent all those evenings together. I remember one of those nights we spent all night playing Disney Sing It! I remember singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight!" over and over again with her. Anyways after all those random parties at my place I was going on a vacation with my family. We went to San Francisco which sounds like a lot of fun right? Wrong! Vacations aren't fun when all you can think about is going home and being with the person you love. So I had a terrible time and spent tons of time texting and skyping with Vy-Anh. Then I came back and was so happy to see her. A few days later I got a car and the first thing I did was drive out to Vy-Anh's house and spend the evening helping her pack for her long vacation to Flordia. After we finished packing up everything we went out to Trader Joe's and bought some picnic foods and went out to this open field near her house. We laid out some random sheets and things from my car and had a picnic under the stars. It was there I asked her to by my girlfriend and she said yes. Which goes to define the next 45 months of my life.

And kids that's how I met Vy-Anh. The most important person in my world.
