OMG!!!! I LOVE NEW YEAR!!! At school, we make it like a whole week long affair sinnce like all the New Years are kind of bundled to the same time frame. Well, we powder eachother and get eachother with shaving cream and just have a blast. When it's Lao New Year my family and I go to the Temple and "thuk bhat" and the after we power eachother and pour water on eachother, it a lot of fun!!

does ne1 go to the miss lao pagent they have when the new year comes around? the ones that i go to is always ghetto, they say that it will start at 5 or 6 pm but end up starting 2 or 3 hours later, and the one you want to win and should have won didn't cause the winner knew one of the judge or they cheated and had their mom buy alot of ballons or flowers? do u girls know what i mean or is it me?

I was in a pageant once and it was the 2 and last one.. lol.. they do the balloons and flowers because it is a big fundraiser. We made $10,000 from that alone. But whomever gets the most ballons and flowers wins miss popularity.

Then we have judges to actually pick the winner. The judges are the bias one that doesn't really know the contestant and is not really involved with the committe... and guess what? I won? :) I was the oldest too, but i think i present myself well and is more mature then the other contestants.. that's why the judges picked me....

then when new years parade came around and all the contestant was suppose to be in the float, all of them skipped out b/c they were mad that they didn't win... so that's why it was the last pageant.. the temple committee did not want people's feelings to be hurt.. so now they just select a "nang song karn" without the pageant.

wow, my cousin did these things.. yeah balloon thingy based for miss popularity then there's real winner later on. also my cousin won it, too...she's really young to win that since she was only probably 14 years old. about parade? wow all contestants skipped out? geesh show some respect. it's suck that your judges decided not to get pageant going on again. i have some pictures.. so i'll post it here. :D

she's cute.. where was this at?

she looks older than 14 in that one picture in the gown.. i didn't look that HOT when I was 14.. lol..

yeah she was 14 at that time. the reason she looked older because of her older sister's kind of makeup artist. that's why. =) without makeup, she really looks so young. that goldish gown is so gorgeous, her mom has a great taste of clothes. =p i'll try to find one of her without makeup pictures. =)

aww you weren't that hot when you were 14? cmon everyone has their own beauty. =p

The town is call New Iberia, LA. They do have streets with Laos name, it's kind of neat. Right now the temple is hosting a lot of the refugees that fled Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. I t's pretty sad, some lost their family and still trying to look for them.
