Embracing my race and celebrating all things Asian. To love and laugh about being Vietnamese and being raised by a tiger mom. A blog dedicated to my beloved mother and motherland. Lan = Mom aka the boss lady’s name, which means ‘orchid’ in Vietnamese (‘Shit Asian Moms Say’ video on the first or now last page sums her right up) I started this blog to talk about my life with the Boss Lady Orchid and how I grew up 1st-gen Asian American in the Little Saigon bubble… and it just turned into my blog about being a panda. Because being Asian is so awesome and hilarious. Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always hungry. Totally random.Tumblr (3.0; @bossladyorchid)http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yi6fX2Qbvvo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span class="watch-title yt-uix-expander-head" id="eow-title" title="Vietnamese Is Koreans On Weed">Vietnamese Is Koreans On Weed</span></h1></p>http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49901599591http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49901599591Tue, 07 May 2013 18:55:40 -0700vietnamesekoreanasianweedhighfunnyken jeongcomedy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/59c7b1ea54832119cbe8a90a2a9520cd/tumblr_mmg046zQZV1rw62x3o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b6796b774f5e7cde25990d81e31e9cfd/tumblr_mmg046zQZV1rw62x3o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>This is how we make it through Mondays.</p>http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49870578740http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49870578740Tue, 07 May 2013 12:14:00 -0700mondaylunchin n outburgersphatassdietpicnicparkwork<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/493081d9b63dd1ae8701d4ec88731a4a/tumblr_mmg039KFPc1rw62x3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The struggle.</p>http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49870537714http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49870537714Tue, 07 May 2013 12:13:00 -0700workentertainmentpoorbrokestruggle<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/100c74c0fcf2bf41961f2ee59ee7b80b/tumblr_mme29caSkw1rw62x3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is how me and my best friend Skype.</p>http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49786364068http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49786364068Mon, 06 May 2013 11:05:00 -0700bffskypechatsillyasiansfobsbest friendslong distance<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/eb46db590b30d848e572ab8c3169341a/tumblr_mm8i0xcK4U1rw62x3o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Club Kid Lily for President</p>http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49524187983http://bossladyorchid.tumblr.com/post/49524187983Fri, 03 May 2013 11:00:00 -0700baby pandaclub kid<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf31d83f49b90b490dbbb73ba6c7a637/tumblr_mm6j9jrCta1rw62x3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My friend, Kyle posted this on my Facebook, and I actually thought it was me when I first glanced at it!
