Still here.

Still alive. Taken in Andy's apartment. :)
My skin has gotten so fair. I love it.

I don't really have a valid reason for not updating as often as I like... I think I have just haven't felt any inspiration to. Andy and I are doing great, I actually get to see him Wednesday! *excited* Seeing the only person who I've ever felt who understand every single part there is about me is always such a euphoric feeling. I know some people had doubts (bitches) haha but Andy and I are still madly in love and he still does sweet things and pays so much attention to my needs. I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and wonder if it was all some kind of dream... Am I really with this wonderful man? Yep. I am, :) He's just so... Chocolately!

My mood has been shot lately. I think a huge part of it has to do with the time of year. This time last year I was in a very bad relationship(or shall I say REBOUND), and it was just a whole mess! I was betrayed by my best friend, and my aunt also passed away around this time. But Andy along with Jaime my wonderful wifey are always there for me. I love them both tons, and I am pretty sure I'd loose it without the two of them.

I feel like I am so not photogenic. lol Seriously. I don't even recognize myself in some pics. Andy says it's because I can't take candid shots. haha. Whatever, I know what I look like, I shouldn't let ugly pics bother me. I'm just silly and emotional because the red tide is coming. o_o (Just ignore what you just read I am being a whiney brat)

I've noticed that compared to last year, I am super duper emotional all the time. I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because I have less interaction with people my age. I am cooped up at home mostly. I find comfort in cleaning. My parents love me because the house is continuously spotless. Hooray for a good Asian daughter. *rolls eyes*

My parents even purchased a new washer and dryer to make me happy.

I love it! I get off on new appliances. Seriously. mmm.

I also have also started to loose my usual 10 pounds. I've noticed that I always gain weight in the summer and loose weight when it gets cold. haha Can anyone relate? Or does the cheese stand alone?

I miss my blog babes. I miss my DSK. How are you Chi? Hopefully you haven't disowned your em! I miss my ABC's! Katrina, Jaimie, Kendall! I haven't forgotten about you ladies! I miss my wifey (even though I talk to you everyday). I basically miss everyone. Please don't hate me for neglecting even commenting blogs! I'll get out of this mood soon.

I wish I could rewind back to a few weeks ago. I feel like I was happier.

My parents have even been concerned with my mood. My mom offered me a vacation anywhere I wanted. I shot that down. I just want to see my hubby, all day everyday...

I missed Everyone,
Love & Smooches,

Nu Nu Doll

Where is Nu Nu Doll?!

I've been sick everyone! I've been getting extremely bad migraines everyday. I think it is due to the inconsistent weather that's been going on in New England. Ugh. I hope to be better soon! Thank you to all of you that's reached out with texts, emails, and messages. I am fine, I just don't want to make my migraines worse with camera flashes or staring at my computer screen for too long. Don't worry though, I'll be back ASAP!

Quickies:
1-Yes I deleted my facebook.
2-Andy did too! haha
3-Andy moved into a brand new apartment! I get to decorate it! muahaha (I haven't moved in yet)
4-My ta ta's grew. lmao.
5-I'm like obsessed with Egyptian Magic. I've gotten my mom, dad, aunt, and Andy addicted to it too! yay
6-I really miss blogging!
7-Chi DSK moved into her new house! Send her housewarming gifts!
8-Me and Andy want to go apple picking!

Nu Nu Doll confronts Jealously & Hate.

RAWRRR!

This is not your typical "fuck the haters" or even me threatening to kick people's asses type of entry. *Looks below at Andy's hackage* O_O lol. This is more of me planting seeds of my beliefs into certain people's heads. Okay, okay, this is a little bit of a preach, but Nu Nu Doll style. =)

----

*On my love life:
I wake up everyday thankful for the wonderful man that I am blessed and lucky enough to have in my life. Andy Lunique isn't just another "boyfriend" per-say. He is most definitely the one that was made for me.

[Point #1]
Why be jealous of my relationship when you'll have a turn to fall in love too? Even if you, yes YOU MYSTERIOUS READER, even if you are from a different walk of life and are totally different from me, you will also find your love. Really.

Everyone deserves love. Even your evil exes. Because to you he could have been an asshole, a douche, every single horrid name in the book, but to some other girl, he could simply be the man of her dreams.

Because just as badly, as desperately you are waiting for your turn, your chance at love, there is someone out there that is equally feeling the same way... Someone who gets butterflies while he/she gets ready to see you, someone who will tuck you in at night when you're sick. There IS someone for you.

*On the "omg she's sickening w/ all her love talk and love gush"
Keep in mind that I AM NOT HOLDING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD and forcing you to read my blog updates. You are free to x out of my blog, stop following if you prefer to if you are truly offended.

[Point #2]
Is it sickening because I know that the emotions I feel are c o m p l e t e l y pure? Or is it frightening to see someone so sure, so certain of her feelings for someone else?

Or is it sickening because you yourself have not yet experienced these true, pure, intense emotions as I do?

*On the "color thing"
Yes, I am an Asian woman who is in LOVE with her significant other who is from a different race and color. I am very much aware that Andy is BLACK. I've gotten disapproving looks before, and I don't see the point of it.

[Point #3]

Andy is black, but that does not mean that if I cut him he won't bleed like everyone else, like an Asian, a Caucasian, or even a Latino person. He is not a mutant, I assure you all. He is a person. (A sexy hot one that turns me on intensely...And omg his arms...sorry...slight digression) Just because his skin is black, it does not mean that the
H E A R T this wonderful man owns is black also.

*On the "you changed him/he changed you people"
I'll admit if you put a tablespoon of clingy, 1/2 a tablespoon of needy, and a dash of insecure bitch together then you'll get a YOUNGER version of Nu Nu Doll. Oh yes, I'm not even kidding...

[Point #4]
It's called growth. Growing into the person you were meant to be. Growing into the person that you always were but didn't know how to be. People change many times in their lives, and one of those times is when that person finds another that was made to understand them.

*On the "he/she belongs with me & I should have voiced my true feelings to him/her people"
Yes, these people do unfortunately exist, even if I like it or not, so why not address them too?

[Point #5]
Andy Lunique belongs to Nu Nguyen. Andy wins.
Nu Nguyen belongs to Andy Lunique. Nu wins.
:P

So why encourage those premature wrinkles of frustration, those frown lines? Botox is expensive, my seeds that I am attempting to plant, my beliefs are up for grabs. (FOR FREE!) Surround yourself with happy feelings instead those of jealously and hate, and your happiness shall find you too. It will.

Smooches,
Nu Nu Doll.

Hacked at 100 MPH...for LOVE

Do you know what happens when your in love with someone?....I do....you can't think...you can't breath....you can't truly function properly unless you know they are happy in every way. Imagine actually feeling physical pain because you miss that person? Its a mixture of separation anxiety... Love...insomnia...and bad mall food eaten the night before (like I would eat at a mall lol).

Right now I'm in my office, typing this message (after graciously hacking her blog) knowing that my regional manager...and his assistant are both on their way right now for inspection. They want to know some of my new ideas, and I also had an e-mail curious about my new specials for next month (which is themed for all steak, all month). He's curious of my skills, and I know i'm capable of kicking some ass and even selling tickets....so why am I in my office you ask?...well i'll tell you fine followers of the Nu Republic....

I'm in Love with her....and I haven't seen her recently....it hurts when I can't see her...the pain accelerates with the idea that I'm not even sure when I can see her...I adore every cell in her body and can't think straight when theres anything wrong with her...especially if i tick her off....you never wanna tick an Asian (slowly turning black) girl off. This is me saying that...i'll go back to cooking soon...

This message is really for her and I'm quite aware of the sickening gushyness of it all but if you have problem with a man telling the world that he's in love with his woman and cannot live without her...or announce that she is the very most beautiful i've ever witnessed and no one else can compare (and she proves it...I MEAN LOOK!)...well then I suggest you close your browser quite quickly and have yourself some chocolate to make yourself feel better.

For all you "Quiet" haters who just read my girlfriends blog just to look at her photos, copy her pictures and slowly masturbate while doing so...I suggest you go to "Google.com" Type my name in (Andy Lunique), recognize who the hell I am so it won't feel like a stranger just shoved his foot directly up your ass (more than likely with food on it)...fuck you and everyone who looks like you!......(sorry off message)

Nu, I miss you...Its unlike me to pull stunts like this but sometimes....things consume me. I miss you and i'll see you soon...no matter what it takes...and you know I'm crazy ;). I love you Sweetheart.

Cheers...

P.S....ok ok...You Win!

Nu Nu Doll does circle lenses.

I know I already have big eyes, but I've been curious about circle lenses for awhile. They really do make my eyes look even bigger! They're comfortable, and I've been lucky and haven't had any eye irritation with them on. They feel thicker than regular lenses, but I find these more comfortable than Freshlook lenses.

I might look a little different too because:

1-I have been using P&J Whitening Serum so my skin is more even. (Even though these are obv. edited pics)
2-I altered the shape of my eyebrows. I thinned them out just a tad. Do you guys approve? I had to change them, seeing Fanzcy's eyebrow video, I just needed to make my brows fiercer like hers!
3-I'm starting to part my hair differently now also. I've done the while side part, flap over my eye thing since I was in 8th grade, so now I am more of a middle part but not exactly in the middle. Haha. I need to get my bangs cut!

I was also going for the Shinobi chick's look. The movie was decent, it's basically about superheroes, Asian style. lolol.Photos are edited to make myself look whiter. So don't ask me 987654321x about it. Thanks.

I'm going to try to update more to keep my mind off of missing Andy. :( I cried myself to sleep last night, and it just feels completely horrible being away from my man. Seriously, the whole crying when we part thing is endless. I get so many looks at the train station... O_o

Quickies:

1- I've broken out on my chin a little. I think it's due to my lack of sleep. ugh.
2-NYX's lip products are surprisingly impressive. Andy even said my lips were softer. hehe
3-I'm craving a burger with loads of banana pepper on it. Also, fries doused in vinegar, garlic, and hot oil. Yummy.
4-Seal's "The Right Life" is my favorite song of the moment.
5-Bobbi Brown's Corrector in Light Bisque is a godsend.
6-Talika Lipoocils (lash growth product) REALLY WORKS!
7-I'm having a glass of YellowTail Chardonnay in an attempt to relax... *sigh.

8-Me and Andy are addicted to Green Tea Matcha drinks. hahaha I am turning him ASIAN!
9-If I was a superhero, I'd want to have the power of flight. If I was a villain I'd want to be the sexy vixen that kills her enemies with her eyes. (Totally got the idea from Shinobi, even though the chick isn't a villain)

10-I love my Eddie Spaghetti. He's so cute, and hugs me when I am crying because I miss Andy. Yes, he knows how to give hugs. & Why must my face look so damn round sometimes? UGH BAD ANGLE.

Smooches,
Nu Nu Doll

Quickie

Hiiii loveys! Sorry for not updating... I have been busy! I am not even home right now! haha So the story is: Andy came home from Sunday to Tuesday. :) And I not wanting to let him go came back to NJ with him! haha I am leaving tomorrow though. I almost feel that our love gets stronger often. I find myself falling deeper in love with him! Anyways, I am looking for a job here now, so if anyone has a connection, hook me up! We are planning to live with one another, and we're excited because the wheels are in motion towards our future together.

Oh! And look what Andy's friend made me! This girl has some skills!

Perfect since I plan on being Snow White for Halloween huh? haha I love love love it! Thanks so much Britt!

There will be a longer update when I get home, promise guys!

I ran away.

...From home again and into Andy's arms. :) haha Not only did I miss my man (sorry, I know you all must be getting annoyed with my by now), but I Andy also turned 24 on Tuesday!

I hopped on a train Monday, and was there by Monday night. He had 2 Naked Smoothies, 2 bottles of water, a cup of cheerios, and a turkey sandwich waiting in the car for me to have during the car ride home. Once we reached home, he even cooked for me! Haha Talk about being bathed in gluttony. Seriously! haha

Sauteed Herbed Chicken, w/ Rosemary Israeli Cous Cous, and Broiled Lemon Asparagus.

The next day was Andy's birthday! Andy had to work, so I had some time to kill before dinner, so I took my time getting ready, and I even got to play Street Fighter IV with his buddy and totally won too! ahaha

Meet Mindy! I've had her since I was little, and yes she's black. It was totally a sign. haha
This made Andy smile while he was at work.

My name is Nu Nguyen, and I like to steal my boyfriend's new shirts
and use them as jackets. haha

Later that night, we went to:

Casa La Femme, an Egyptian Restaurant in New York.

I picked this restaurant mainly because there was a belly dancer (Andy loves belly dancers), and also Egyptian food sounded appealing to me. Which was totally random because I wanted to play with gold eye shadows that day, and I totally never had Egyptian food before.

Andy's mistress for a good minute. He's mine bitch! lol

Andy's mouth seriously dropped because I was responsible for bringing him to such a place that would feed his desires(in more ways than one.) I know what my man likes, and I'm totally not the jealous type, so I told her it was his birthday and she gave us some extra attention. I even made Andy tip her and put money down her crotch. haha! No joke! Poor boyfriend was shaking in disbelief and I am pretty sure nervousness... (I think he thought it was some kind of test) I even requested this photo to be taken. Ahh boyfriend, you aren't the only one who can surprise! ;)

Clearer googled image. lol

My pic! lol Obv. The whole restaurant was very dark,
I almost lost Andy a few times. JOKE! More like my imperfections were camouflaged! ;)

In the tent snapping pics. haha My signature face of course!

The restaurant was really beautiful though, we picked to be seated in our own private tent. It was so comfortable, romantic, and intimate. We snuck kisses in often. :) We had some intense moments that night, and it was just nice to be the mastermind *insert eveil laugh here*behind the great night.

Guava infused Champagne. It was delicious and made me completely red in the face...
Cheers baby!

A toast before dinner! To us, to Andy's birthday, to many great birthdays to come, and of course to our 1,000 years. I promise to always try to make your birthday special, even if it's just sitting at home playing video games one year.

We opted for the tasting menu... :) A little bit of everything, and it was a lot more fun that way!
First Course:


Hummus, puréed chickpeas with a touch of spicy harrisa
Babagonoush, smokey, roasted eggplant seasoned with tahini and lemon juice
Fuul Medames, puréed fava beans

Second:


Felfel Mahschi
Baked sweet bell pepper, stuffed with savory mixture of jasmine rice, fresh herbs and spices served over house made tomato sauce

and


Egyptian Dumplings(I forget the name) lol

Third:


Firakh Mashwaya
Grilled sumac seasoned half free range boneless chicken

and


Riash Mashway
Grilled Natural grass fed lamb chops

We were getting so sleepy at this point, it was very hard not falling asleep in our little tent! haha Oh and do notice how OBNOXIOUS the plates get with the stupid red designs! I wanted to scream because I HATED them!

Fourth:


Some kind of Sweet Cake Egyptian Dessert topped with Vanilla Ice Cream.

After a drive home, we basically cuddled up in bed and crashed! Andy also requested it still be his birthday until he woke up... Even though it was 2am when we finally got into bed! haha I guess that was a good sign, because that means he deff. enjoyed himself!

The next day we went to lunch at Nordstroms! Where Andy works! This was a test because Andy wanted to see how his staff works without him there (he's the executive chef=boss). It was interesting (to say the least) meeting the people he worked with. I was called sex on a stick, stared at, his cook said hello and then proceeded to look down, there were people spying on us from the kitchen, the security cameras were abused and zoomed in to see me, the cosmetic women totally stared, and yeah, Nordstroms employees had fun that day I guess. All due to Andy's mysterious life outside of work. haha Andy is extremly dedicated to his job, and I guess people started to wonder what he did outside of work when he was single... And well, now he has me and he's happier inside and out, his food tastes better, and he keeps on sneaking away to his computer to read my blog! STALKER! haha

After lunch, we headed to Best buy to purchase our new baby. The Canon Rebel TXi! It is the newest to the Rebel collection, and must I say it is fabulous! HD movies, great quality pics, and we're just so excited. We spent exactly our limit too, 1,000 with tax, a lens cover, and a memory card.

Then we went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! The movie was decent, I just wished they included the memory of Voldemort's mother... :( Oh well, I guess that's why I read the book. Now I am super excited for New Moon!!!

The next day Andy had to go to work, and it basically went by too fast for my liking. Dinner that night (Andy deleted my photos by accident, grrrrr) I had this very awesome dirty plate pic too, but I guess I'll have to take another next time. So before I knew it, it was morning time, I was at the train station crying my eyes out again, clinging onto Andy like a child while the old people across the station watched me... And I was on the train with a packed lunch yet again, a smoothie, and a canister or Orange juice. Ah does he take care of me.

I know, that was a long entry! haha Remember to enter my giveaway if you haven't already. Please follow the rules. I clearly have said that if you'd like to double your points, post a blog entry advertising my giveaway. Which means no sidebar shit, sorry but those will not be counted, it's not fair to the people who actually read the rules. Secondly, by link, I would PREFER the link to the blog entry itself, not your blog! haha This giveaway ends in a month, and I don't have time to search for the blog entry if the specific link was not given to me! Make it easier, send me the right link!

Also, Andy updated his blog recently, so go support him for me! Thanks loveys!

Feel the Heat of Chef Andy Lunique. (HE HAS A BLOG NOW!)

Andy Lunique: Face of a legend

Behind every legendary chef there lies a story, a tale of how he became to be... How he climbed up the ladder in the culinary world, his first meal he ever cooked, his first meal that he was commended for, his first big disaster in the kitchen, his first set of stitches, his first run in with the health department... Culinary growth aside, being a legendary chef takes not only a strong and wise man that has a refined palette, but a chef with soul, with passion, with a heart.

I am the proud gf and future wife (no we are not engaged, but we simply know already), of a chef. Chef Andy Lunique. He excites me with his ideas in the kitchen *ahem no pun intended*, he amazes me with his creativity, inspires me when he gets lots in his food, and his ability to write recipes with ease is simply admirable.

A graduate from the Culinary Institue of America (the Harvard of Culinary Schools, just in case you missed that), an Executive Chef at Nordstroms at such a young age, and he still has the down to earth personality that is not only humble, refreshing, and admireable, but he's just plain inspiring .. I watch him in awe at times, then find myself drifting, drifting away into sweet day dreams of this man. The man I already know I want to spend the rest of my life with.

So why? Why is Nu Nu Doll gushing about her bf AGAIN?! Well because Andy now has his own blog!!! Talk about mission accomplished!

Feel the Heat of Andy Lunique:

His blog will include (but will not be limited to):

1-His personal culinary adventures. Little short stories of funny things that go on in a life of a chef. I'll even give him permisson to tell embarasing stories of me! haha

2-FOOD PORN. Lot's of it. I'm his offical Food Pimp, I'll be whoring out his food like the rent needs to be paid tomorrow. Hell yes I really said it.

3-Cooking tutorials! Who doesn't want to learn how to cook?! He's really easy to understand, follow, and best of all, he's a fan of simple cooking!

4-Randomness... My hubby is extremly random, but hey so am I! haha :) FACT: He names EVERYTHING! Like his kitchen tools... lol

5-Reccomendations on food tools/equipment. He'll explain the pros and cons of everything, and make anyone just as knowledgable as a culinary student! The difference: You won't have all those loans to pay off... IT'S FREE ADVICE!

6-And last but not least, you'll get an insight of a truly driven and passionate man. To put it bluntly, food is his life, food is his heart and soul, and trust me, you'll see the difference.

Support my man! Click here to be directed to Andy's blog. Don't forget to follow!

Smooches,
Nu Nu Doll
