1. Danh almost ran over a bunny on the road tonight

    I would’ve killed him if he did. The bunny didn’t even try running when the car’s headlights were coming. Danh swerved in time to barely miss it; I made him turn around because it just stayed there in the middle of the road.

    I got out of the car in pursuit of chasing it off the road and into the field. I walked up right next to it, it didn’t budge just stared at me looking ALL BEWILDERED AND SHET.

    Strange as hell. Anyway, I was like some crazy ass girl going like “go go GO go” and it just continued staring back at me, so I had to go and touch its back like some pedobear and it just did this lazy ass hop, but still close enough for me to touch it (and I inspected, no it is not injured in any way).

    We had a standoff for like forever, and I had to stroke its back again and it ran to the side of the road and stayed there, so I gave up.

    Hope it’s okay and not another roadkill.. :( some animals are just so darn clueless.

  2. Hi Lili, I have 3 very important exams next week. And I was wondering if you have some tips to help me study better/harder, so I can pass my exams. I would really appreciate it if you could help. xoxo helpless kid

    Here are some general tips that I think are esp important to help prepare for major exams:

    Mark Your Deadlines. First, mark deadlines like paper due dates and test times. Next, check for conflicts if you have two tests that overlap, or if you’re scheduled for work during a test time, you need to resolve that as quickly as possible. Some professors may allow you to take your exam another day if you have 3 or more exams on the same day, you never know unless you ask! :) if you can’t prioritize, what class is most important? What do you need to study most for?

    Set a Study Schedule. While you have your calendar out, mark out your study plan for the days ahead -you don’t want to be studying for a history test on Friday if you have a Math test tomorrow. Schedule time for the nearest deadlines first, and break your time into hours and subjects. Don’t try to spend all day studying one thing or you will burn out. Also, remember that it will probably take you longer than you think to write a paper.

    Take Care of Your Body. If you don’t take care of your body, you could hit a slump right when you need the most energy. Take time to eat healthy meals (that means fruits and veggies, carbs and proteins, not just a Snickers bar and a Gatorade) and schedule time for sleep.


    Preparation for your first test should begin after the first day of class; this includes studying, completing homework assignments and reviewing study materials on a regular basis

    Budget your time, make sure you have sufficient time to study so that you are well prepared for the test.

    Go to review sessions, pay attention to hints that the instructor may give about the test. Take notes and ask questions about items you may be confused about

    Ask the instructor to specify the areas that will be emphasized on the test.Make sure you go to the class right before the test; it’s another prime time for the instructor to give out more hints or the format of the test.

    Review your in class notes and reading, make outlines and jot down side notes to help you memorize them better. I usually read my notes at least 3x before a test, then take a test from the prior year to see how I did and then I would go and highlight in my notes what I need to focus on if I missed any questions on the practice test. 

    I plan on making a video that gets more in depth with this stuff. Good luck and study hard! <3

  3. While lazing around, who do you like to perv/fangirl over??

    My followers mainly, I won’t say who, but I like to just open up my followers list & click on random pictures, then I do my creeping.
    This also applies to the people that like my facebook “fan” page, my instagram (I do that sort of creeping around 2 a.m since I’m on my phone at that time). I rarely creep on my twitter followers, just because there’s no pictures. I like pictures. 

    But if you’re talking about celebrities, that’s a whole new list. 

    Basically, EVERYONE is subject to my creeping. 

    And here is my message to all: I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for privacy, I can tell you I don’t care. What I do care about are your sessi pictures; sessi pictures I have acquired over a very long career of creeping. Sessi pictures that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me your links, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will still look for you, I will find you, and I will creep on you.  

  4. What would you wear to your boyfriend's birthday party? All his family will be there, please help [:

    A very simple / conservative white dress or summer dress/floral prints (not a maxi, one that is about knee length), minimal jewelry and makeup. Simple necklace with pearl stud earrings. Nude/neutral makeup, no falsies or anything, just keep it as natural as possible. Wear some comfy flats or sandals. No loud colors. Keep your hair simple, I would do soft curls or just keep it straight. Just wear a soft pink lipstick or better yet, a lip tint if you must wear something on your lips.  :)

  5. how was your day today?

    Thank you for asking :)

    My day went amazing, my boyfriend and I spent time with my family and we ate tons of good food (crawfish, crab, rice + beef salad ) and played volleyball. Then we just sat around and talked / hung out with each other all night. Now I’m tumblr-insta-creeping. :) And my cousin is sleeping over tonight. But I will have to be up in a few hours for work :(

    How was your day? :)

  6. Do you think girls with imperfections could be pretty? I have a bump on my nose. Since primary school kids made fun of my nose so my confidence is 0. I'm sixteen and I never had a boyfriend. My friends say that I am pretty at all but I dont see this I see just a bumpy nose. Who would like to have a gf with a bumpy nose? The guy I like is a hot soccerplayer. I think he would never be with me because of my nose.Have you any tips how to feel pretty and confident? sorry for my english. EUROPE :P

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with having imperfections. EVERYONE has imperfections, and that’s what’s beautiful. Sure, we may think someone can be perfect, but even they have imperfections that they regard as flaws, yet we may not see it. In this same way, only you are seeing that wee bump on your nose. And do remember that your time in primary school were with rude kids that had nothing better to do but to make fun of others to make themselves feel better.

    Don’t let what happened in the past affect how you think or feel about yourself. Because you are the only one that can control how others make you feel. If you chose to let their spiteful words get to you, that is when you become vulnerable. Don’t let them get to you, because you are beautiful. You don’t need your friends, or any guy to tell you that you are. And if a guy is shallow enough to NOT date you just because of that bump on your nose, then he doesn’t deserve you (no matter HOW hot he is).

    Confidence only lasts when it comes from YOU. Don’t rely on the compliments of others to keep you going, because you’d just set yourself up for a heavy fall. I feel pretty when I’m wearing my favorite clothes, or even comfortable sweats. I feel prettiest when I’m comfortable and happy with myself.

    Feeling pretty seems different than BEING pretty. But they are all in the same. If you feel pretty, then you are pretty. It doesn’t matter if you are pretty to others, but you are just simply pretty to yourself, and that can shine through to others, that, is confidence.

    So just remember this, you can’t get others to love you, unless you love yourself first. You’ve gotta love yourself first.

  7. Hey Lily, I admire you soooo much! You seem really dedicated to doing well at school. I'm also asian so I understand there can be pressure to do good but you seem to really want to do it for yourself, not just to 'live up to your family name'. I really want to do well but often can't motivate myself or I get distracted by things like youtube LOL, or makeup or shopping etc. Please please please please tell me how you stay motivated to study and do well! Love you, from Kasandra. x

    I’m glad you are on the right mindset to working hard! :) That’s always a good start! 
    My parents raised me to strive for A’s in school and to work my hardest. At first, I did it just to avoid being lectured at, but now, it’s just how I am. I just feel the need to work hard for them, so I can give them a better life in the long run, somewhat like repaying them for all they’ve done for me.  I want them to retire early and just have fun. They’ve worked so hard to get me here today.

    So through them, I found my motivation. When I get lazy in school (and trust me, this happens).. I always think about them,  and my little sisters. I think about how my success in school has motivated my younger sisters to work hard also. I think about when my little sister Erica said she’d work hard to get straight A’s so she can get more full ride scholarships than me. LOL. Those little memories were driving forces that pushed me through the sleepless nights studying for exams and what not. 

    And lastly, it’s just important that you are also doing this for you. You’ll realize this soon enough. Once you find out what you want to do in life, and why you want to study. Find your motivation, and the studying gets easier. 

    I also have a few study tips:

    - start early, make a schedule and space things out. It’s better to study little by little and review each day, than to cram (your exam grades will definitely improve!)

    - use a planner, I can’t live without mine. It keeps me on track and organized. 

    - taking good notes is definitely essential, if you are a slow note taker, bring a recording device. I always take my notes on my laptop, because I’m a freak typer and get every single word down. After the lecture, I go over my notes and rewatch/listen to the lecture and highlight the key things that the professor said. This will get easier as you get more and more comfortable with their teaching style. With those notes, you can make a study guide - I always shorten it as much as possible and make it as easy to understand as possible. I would print out those notes, and then study off of them, as I go, I tend to add little notes or drawings to help me remember them better. Whatever works for you

    If you are still in high school, now is the perfect time to explore what time you study best, day or night. I study best at night (after I’ve eaten lol) You need to explore how you study best, with or without music, where, etc. ;) 

    I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best! 

  8. Pretend you and your boyfriend were at a car show/car race and there were sexy racing model girls, would you allow your boyfriend to take pictures with them? Are you the jealous type? Thanks for answering!

    haha funny you ask, Danh and I will be going to quite a few car shows this summer! :) I would honestly say that I am jealous, but only to a certain extent. It depends on the situation and who is involved.

    If my boyfriend really wanted to take pictures with import models, he can go right on ahead and do so. Heck, I’d take it for him. But if he were to inappropriately touch them (and I know he wouldn’t) then that’s another story.

    And we’ve been dating long enough to know what is and is not acceptable behavior. I know my boyfriend looks at other girls, but if he acts upon it, then that would be another story. I mean, sometimes, I look at cute strangers and think to myself “damn, I could melt chocolate on that boy”.. (lol lol) but it’s not like I act on it.

    My standards may be different than yours. If you are uncomfortable with something your boyfriend is doing, let him know. Don’t silently get mad at him and not tell him what’s up. The best thing to do is talk things out and clear the air.

  9. it'll be your one year on youtube in two days! congrats. c; oh and, i miss your videos. ;/

    Wow, I didn’t even know! Thank you so much for reminding me - I’ve been stu[dying] for finals!

    It’s been such a fun year, and I’m excited to come out with new videos for you guys this summer :))

    (I’ll be filming again after the 6th of May! <3)

    Thank you ALL for your support, I reallly am so thankful and I enjoy reading all of your messages and comments .. and of course creeping on your Instagrams & Tumblrs :D..

  10. Q: Read your “love story” and was just wondering what happened after that? Were your parents ok with the fact that you dated? I have the same problem. I’m 15, soon 16 and my mother doesn’t even want to talk about boys! She pretty much just hates them… I don’t know what to do; she doesn’t like me to be with this guy I’m dating. Sometimes I think it’s okay, but it really makes everything complicated!! Help! :(( What did you do?

    I’m still dating the same guy from the “love story”. Before that, I dated a few other guys (who will remain unnamed)– unlike my boyfriend now, my exes didn’t get a lot of face time with my parents, because I didn’t consider those relationships exactly “serious” at all. But my mom has crazy instincts; she ALWAYS picks the guy I’m dating out. And she’d confront me with it, and I’d always say “we’re just friends”.  My parents, especially my mom, would pick apart all of the little things about the guy and talk smack about him to me. At the time, I just rolled my eyes and ignored the comments and continued to date the guys that eventually became my exes.

    Looking back, I realized that my parents were right. In fact, they’ve ALWAYS been right, pretty much about everything. And that’s the hardest thing to get over, because at the time that you are dating the guy, you are so infatuated with how amazing things are, that you don’t step back, and just look at the relationship with fresh, new eyes. If I could go back, I wouldn’t have dated any of those guys. And I’m glad they’re my exes now, but hey, you live and you learn.

    My parents didn’t know for sure that Danh (le bf) & I were dating back when we first started, because I always denied it even though my mom knew. She didn’t contest it, or talked smack about him, because she liked him. (He’s actually the first guy that she genuinely approved of.) But that took time, and she & my dad SERIOUSLY interrogated the crap out of Danh every chance they got, and he survived it. I’ve also noticed that my parents became more lenient over the years and more modern, I guess. When I was younger, they strictly said, NO DATING AT ALL UNTIL COLLEGE. They worried about my grades suffering in case of “heartbreak”. And I’ve never been a person to let my relationships wreck how I’m doing in school, which took away their primary reason to protest against dating before college.  I guess they just warmed up to it, but no, I never outwardly told my mom that I was dating Danh, but it was just so obvious to everyone that we were dating…he came over all the time, and had a lot of dinners with the family, there was really no need for some big announcement or anything.

    With your situation…I really don’t want to tell you what to do, because I’m not your mom. But from past experience, the guys I dated when I was your age, I look back, and think, what the hell was I thinking when I dated that idiot? My parents disapproved of them, it was just too bad that I didn’t listen, and continued to date anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I learned a lot from past experience, and I’ll tell my younger sisters when they get older, and I’ve been telling my cousins now, that it’s better to wait when you are in college to date, there’s nothing wrong with that. You can continue dating whether your mom likes it or not— that’s ultimately your decision to make. I know I’m beating this to death, but hey, you live and you learn. And I’ll be willing to bet a bowl of pho, that one day, you’ll be in my position, and you’ll be thinking back about what your mom said about that ex of yours, and how she was right all along. And if your mom and I are both wrong in the end, I’ll take you, your mom, and that guy out for a bowl of pho. Haha <3

  11. Without sounding weird: I thought you said that you didn't consider yourself to be Chinese, but now on your YT it says that you're Vietnamese and Chinese, what made you change your mind?

    hahah you might’ve misunderstood. I’m born as Vietnamese and Chinese. But I would consider myself more Vietnamese than Chinese (lifestyle wise). I can’t change what I am, but I can change how I live.

  12. 800+ messages in my ask. O_O

    so overwhelmed, I wish I could just sit down and answer them all! But I will try my best!

  13. Hi Lili! :D Could you do a what's in my bag tag? Thanks! :)

    I totally would, but you would think I’m weird since all I would have in my bag are my cats.
