EXPLOSION!!!

i have 3 older brothers. and 1 older sister. the only ones who look alike are probably my brother tan. there is only one picture of us together. i wouldn’t be surprised if somebody told phuong wasn’t blood related to the rest of us.

i look more like my dad. my parents tell me too. my mom looks at my face and sees my dad’s features. sometimes the siblings will point out who has what. “oh, you got dad’s eyebrows.” or “you have mom’s nose” etc. i think my dad and mom don’t have similar features so we all came out as this random pieces of them mixed together. i’m the only one who has a nose whose tip is pointed up. LOL. darn it. xD tan’s is okay. phuong and thomas’ are reallllllllly long and pointed though. i guess they got it from my mom.

my dad randomly had no mustache one day.. i never seen him like that in all my 18 years. i was like.. who the hell is this in my house? honestly. i was confused as to who he was. completely unrecognizable.

when i look at these pictures of me, i dont think i look the same.. lol. i gained weight and some of these pics i still have braces on.

we used to have pictures around my house. we had em up for the first time about two years ago. my mom took everything down. she couldn’t stand looking at the pictures of herself anymore. i was pretty sad. we all were. my mom asks me still if her hair has grown back. i lie. it hasn’t grown in the back. she has a bald spot. but i lie every time. i think that’s why she doesn’t like me having friends over. i think she’s embarrassed.

nirvana kinda made me think about it again. she passed by a picture on our fridge. just one picture of me and thomas, and he’s pretending to throw a snowball at me. but it reminded me about this. only one picture when we had so many.

the fact that we ever even had some pictures amazes me. we’ve gone a long way. we had just a little shred of unity, and it seems like it’d been building up and everything was getting better.
