She is so beautiful. This girl is sitting near me. I'm falling in love with her now at this coffee shop. She has a beautiful laugh & a heavenly smile. She listens to people & she is down to earth. She probably loves children. She looks like a cute angel. She is perfectly perfect for me.
.
I was looking at her. I was watching her talk to a female staff here. They talked for an hour or so. It looked like a fun conversation. She would say some things to the staff in very fun ways. I tried not looking because I'm busy checking my Facebook, but my eyes keep lurking to her charm. Her haircut is cool & everything. Everything was good until I saw a French man come to her & kiss her on the lips. I don't know if he is French, & it is all French to me anyway, but it sounds like he has a French accent. As soon as he kissed her hello, my heart tore up into thousands of pieces, reassembled, & imploded (exploded) like the Death Star in Star Wars. Right now, I hear them talk with some kind of French-style English to each other. I don't know what is happening, but this is another reason why I'm single. I can't be like happy for them.... I'm angry and sad and like a turtle with no shell... I feel super jealous, but I also feel that these emotions inside me are not helping me. These kinds of things has happened to me many times before as I'm one month from being 31 years old. I'm an American in Vietnam & I've seen girls & guys kiss but it still hurts me when I see it. Very confusing. Very terrible for a bunch of reasons. I feel rejected. I feel that nobody wants me. Vietnamese make fun of me as well. They tell me about all their foreign friends who go to Vietnam and get a girl friend in only a few days.
.
Fat ugly foreigners go to Vietnam & get girl friends in less than one week & I've been here for over 3 years already nonstop, continuously. The irony & the confusion is terrible. I kind of want to stay single more because I don't want to become something bad in the future. I compare the way people interact with me with the way they interact with other foreigners. It is different. They treat me like I'm a monster. They treat old people & my peers like angels or something.... I'm going to try to not think about girls... my New Years Resolutions needs to be "HATE GIRLS" more.... & people always think I have a GF but I don't, grrrr...... I need to stop falling in love with girls.... I have a job to do.... I'm here to help people and not to satisfy my lust and thirty shades of Oatmeal.

She Liked Me Or Worked There...
A beautiful girl was following me. As I walked around, she was behind me smiling. She asked if she could help. I decided to say no thanks. I didn't want to waste her time but I really wanted to be her friend. I think I know where to find her & I think she likes me. She is tall & beautiful. I think she is perfect for me.
.
She has a beautiful smile & sparkling eyes. I was falling in love with her. I decided to run away before I fell too in love with her. I'm pretty sure I'm not gay. But I had to leave before I break her heart. She had the full package & was everything I have ever wanted & more, but I may not have what she wants. She probably just wants my money. That is her job since she works at that phone store near the park. She actually probably doesn't like me, but I wanted to believe she did. I was looking at different phones that I may want to buy & saw some foreigners speak French or Russian or something. I wish I could speak more Vietnamese to her. Better yet, I wish I could tell her that I know how to speak the language of Love. She came just in time for this new year of 2016. I would just go back to see her, but I will probably fall in love again with the next girl I see. That is another reason why I'm single. I think I tend to be too easy going. I tend to fall in love with every girl I see or talk to. My dad kind of has the same problem. Mentally, & emotionally, I got to put my game face on......

Learn As You Dance...
Learn English while you're dancing your way to school, to work, to English Centers, shopping centers, classrooms, beaches, forests, & to your way to success, to the top of the ladder.
.
Dancing makes me feel mobile, flexible, happy, & as free as a bird. Playing piano makes me feel more in control & creative. Laughing helps me put things in perspective. Playing basketball makes me feel magical like ninjas. Singing makes me feel ageless & timeless. Teaching helps me understand the world better. Drawing helps me tell my story. Writing helps me remember it all & share it with the world. No pain, no gain. Life is an adventure. Life is lovely. Be more healthy. Get a second opinion. Get a third opinion. Get as many opinions as you can as the more the better. Take the time to understand how the world works as you learn more English as a second language (ESL) or even as your first. Never quit doing what is good. Seek after universal truth & morality as oppose to relativism which justifies murder for humanistic subjectivism which sinks. Take the time to love life & to be healthy. Don't get hooked on medicine, even if your doctors give them drugs to you.

Health Secrets 2015-12-30 AC Q1 SG...
Being healthy can be fun. Wake up early, smile, pray, drink water, and exercise for at least five minutes. If that is easy, try thirty minutes. Try to exercise once a week. If that is too easy, try twice a week. Eat some fruit & some delicious oatmeal.

Eat food that are colorful. Eat food with different colors. Don't just eat food that is one color. For example, many people may only eat foods that are white, yellow, & green. But they should also eat foods that are red, purple, black, brown, etc..... please get a second opinion from different doctors when diagnosing. Doctors can help but they cannot always help. Doctors don't know everything. Ask other doctors for advice. Ask different kinds of doctors from different places. Read books. Ask different kinds of people. Google it. Do research on medicine, remedies, solutions, herbs, self-helps, autobiographies, history, encyclopedias, answers, and so on.....
.
Please eat different kinds of food each day. Many people only eat a few kinds of food in their diets. Some people eat too much wheat, junk food, & sweets.

Still In Vietnam....
People think I'm not in Vietnam. Many people are asking me where I live. People are asking me to come back to the country of Vietnam. I didn't say that I left. I did not leave. I said that I might leave.
.
But I did not leave. I live in Vietnam right now. I'm still here. I continue to live here. I never said when I would leave. I talked about how I might go soon but I never specified when that would be. People can still call me and see me at or near the 23/9 Park in HCM. I'm still going to try to make a new visa for myself somehow. I'm talking to people about the details. I'm an American. I was born in the year 1985 in the United States of America (USA) but moved to Vietnam in 2012 which was 3 years ago. I have been living in Vietnam for over 3 years now & Vietnam is my 2nd home & I loved people & I love Vietnam & I love the Vietnamese people & Tet.
.
Tell everybody that Joey Arnold, the Original Oatmeal, is still living in Vietnam. Tell your friends. If I have to go to Cambodia or something, then I'll do so but not yet..... thank you for reading. Have a good day.

When you're lonely, find a pen. When you're lost, look around. When you're confused, try to laugh a little. During Christmas, I feel depression, but close my eyes & coach myself to remember the pain for the gain.
.
Suck it up. Take it all in. Take deep breaths. Take a break sometimes. Write down goal outlines. Draw. Sing. Dance. Watch films. Play some games. Find people to talk to. Write down how you feel. Record your voice. Make videos & capture the moments when you feel terrible because the sun will rise someday. Rainbows will appear after the storms. Learn the lessons. Feel what you must feel and remember that emotions are not bad. We can feel bad but that does not mean we are bad. We can feel fat but that does not necessarily mean that we are fat. We can feel rejected, irrelevant, incapable, ugly, slow, dumb, unable, undesirable, bad, and other things, but our fate and destiny shines brighter than stars.

Joey Arnold is on the Vietnam Blacklist...
I cannot live in Vietnam because I can't get a new visa because I'm on a "Blacklist" according to agencies. I could try to go to Cambodia to make a new visa, but the "Blacklist" may prevent me from returning to Vietnam ever again. Depressing.
.
My name is Joey Arnold, an American, born in the year 1985 in the United States of America (USA) & moved to Vietnam in 2012 (over 3 years ago). I have to leave Vietnam but I'm scared. I don't know why I'm on this blacklist. I don't know where to go. I don't know how long I'll stay on the blacklist. How do I get off the blacklist? What did I do wrong? Where do I live? Leaving Vietnam is like jumping off a cliff. I'm willing to go to Cambodia if people invite me to teach, to help, somewhere, maybe. I need some kind of backup plan before I leave. I want to try to come back to Vietnam if I can but I don't really know if Vietnam will ever let me back. I need help. I need money. I need a bed. I need food. I need work. I need purpose. I need a wife. I need a smart phone....... I'll do my best to find something to do in Cambodia.... please help if you can.... come visit Cambodia with me if you can. Merry Christmas.

Cam2 in 2015
I was told to go to Cambodia to make a new visa for Vietnam because I
have to maybe. I was told that there is a bad report about me at the
immigration department or wherever that they issue visa extensions (add
months or more time to visas). I'm not sure what the truth is. I don't
know what the reports may say. I don't know what to do or how much to
spend. I don't know if I'll be able to make it back in Vietnam later.
I'm also busy with classes too. I may have to cancel some of my classes
while I'm away maybe Friday. I may need to buy a letter to give me
permission back in Vietnam maybe or something.

Homeless Aussie Granpa in HCM...
My Vietnamese female English student gave me money & said, "Buy him a sandwich." I bought it & we gave it to that homeless Australian grandpa banker at the 23/9 Park near Highland & the pond in HCM. He attempted suicide. She asked him, "Why don't you go back to your country?" He replied, "Because this was the last thing I wanted to do." Fall in love with a Vietnamese goddess model & live happily ever after like they do in romance novels & fairy tales
.
My name is Joey Arnold of the USA. I talked with him for three hours today from 08:00 - 11:00 AM apx, this Wednesday morning, the 16th of December 2015, a day after the world premiere of Star Wars's Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens. I need to awake more in life. She left because he kept on talking. I'm trying to tell her I'm sorry now (apologize). I was trying to understand his story. He said he supported a 34 year old Vietnamese woman, her children, parents, & bought them a house in a village near or around the Mekong Delta. I thought Cat told me she was from Hanoi. Maybe Cat told me about another story about a different foreigner
.
He told me that she kicked him out of that house that he bought for them & stole all of his money. Maybe, she's a gold digger. Maybe, he needs Viagra. Before that, she would hit him when he tried cleaning. Culturally, women do the cleaning. However, he didn't want to just sit there & do nothing. But now, he is alone.... his son gave him $20 but that is it even after all he did for him. Grandpa asked me for money for beer or for a smoke. I said no. But I mentioned this story because it is one of many. People run into problems accidentally & on purpose. Sometimes, it is our faults & yet it is not always & not completely our faults. We look down on beggars, spam, sellers, & ads. We tend to think that poor people have bad karma. We make up excuses for procrastinating from compassion, generosity, & grace. We talked about prostitutes, trafficking, & how greedy Catholics are....
.
For me, I want to help people more and more.... but how do you help people? That is a good question........ you know that it shouldn't be a question of if we should help but rather a question of "HOW?"

Park Sleeping
Joey Arnold slept at the 23/9 Park for some minutes around 2 PM this Sunday afternoon, the 13th of December 2015. Park security said to get up as I alid there with my head to the backpack. I asked why in Vietnamese and he kept saying the same things. Others translated what he said into English for me. He didn't explain why. He just said that those are the rules. After some minutes, he left & talked to others or at least to another cop who probably knew me and who didn't come to me.

TUAN Travel SCAM...
Tuan Travel Company said they can extend my single-entry 3 months Vietnam DN Business Visa (not DL tourist) for an additional three months for the third time. I have an American passport since I was born in the year 1985 in the USA. My social security number is 542-13-4324. I reentered Vietnam from Cambodia in March 2015 with my current visa for Vietnam. Tuan extended that visa twice already for about $160 USD.
.
Tuan said they could extend my visa for a third time for the same price last Friday, the 4th of December 2015. About an hour later, the female agent there called me back & said there was a problem at the embassy. Maybe she said the wrong English word. Maybe it's not really the embassy where extensions are made but she said that word, "Embassy" either on purpose or accidentally. She said it would $210 actually. A similar thing happened in 2014 as well at a hotel, but that's another story.
.
My name is Joey Arnold. I'm an American English Teacher, Tutor, actor, writer, artist, missionary, and so on. I help people as much as I can.
.
Friday, instead of giving her $210 in American money, I gave a total of about 4,740,000 VND in Vietnamese Dong money.
.
Today, Friday, the 11th of December 2015, she texted my phone saying that the "Police & Consulate" said that I violated laws. However, she hasn't told me what those violations were. Either she doesn't know because they didn't tell her or maybe she never actually talked to them in the first place, maybe. I am not exactly sure what happened. I do not know what the rules and lawsw are completely. But I do know that people have been getting extensions. I use to get extensions. I first came to Vietnam at 12 PM noon, Thursday, the 29th of November 2012 to the Hanoi airport. In August 2013, I exited to Cambodia for a day & reentered that same day. I bought a one month visa at the border as I came back to Vietnam in 2013. In September, I renewed that one month visa and turned it into a three months visa. I extended that visa about six or so times until March 2015. After that, I made my current visa in Cambodia. My current visa was extended twice. That means, my current visa extended from 3 to 9 months. I was trying to extend my visa for a third time. I've done this before in 2013 and 2014. I extended my visa more than three times before.
.
My current visa already expired on the 9th of December 2015. Right now, as I'm writing this, it is 4 PM, Friday, the 11th of December 2015.

That means, my current visa extended from 3 to 9 months. I was trying to extend my visa for a third time. I've done this before in 2013 and 2014. I extended my visa more than three times before.
.
My current visa already expired on the 9th of December 2015. Right now, as I'm writing this, it is 4 PM, Friday, the 11th of December 2015.

Breaking The Law In Vietnam?
My travel agency said they cannot extend my visa. They said that the police and consulate claims that I'm violating Vietnam law or something. I do not know what is happening. I am not aware of any violation. I do not know what all of the domestic and international laws are. They said I could extend it. Many people said I could extend my visa. Currently, I don't know what to do.

JA Joey Arnold is FA, Forever Alone, at an age of 30....
I'm FA, Forever Alone, still, at the age of thirty, but some say they don't believe me while others say of course. I've hidden in photos with girls. People see me around girls & assume that I got at least one girl at least once in my life. Sadly, it's not that way.
.
At this coffee shop, I saw this Vietnamese girl with a face of like an 8 year old but a body of a 20 year old. She was kissing a man some minutes ago. It's two in the morning (02:00 AM) right now and this is Saigon. I try my best not to think too much about it. I try not to care. I try my best to stay focus on my life, my missions, my goals, but it's still extremely hard. I still have those feelings of jealousy or something. I made a video for April Fools Day 2015 that says I'm gay. But I'm not gay. But people seem to say or think that either I'm gay or I'm a player with girls all over. Neither is true. So, why am I writing this?
.
I'm writing about being misunderstood. I've experienced not being understood all of my life, but you have dealt with it as well. People have thought wrongly about you as well. What can you do? Please be patient & stay true and loyal and calm and dedicated to integrity and character and pereseverence because nothing else is better than that. Please don't seek vengeance and please don't give up. Please don't compromise your destiny and your role on earth. Stand tall and be strong. Don't sell your soul to the devil. Be who you were born to be.

YouTube or Porn?
My video got about 40 hits or views on YouTube.... but that same video uploaded to Facebook got over 400 views. Both videos were shared about the same time on my Facebook but it seems that people are scared of viruses & anything that comes from outside of Facebook. There is a lot of spam on the internet & people are confused about it. Sadly, people simply avoid things that might be dangerous.
.
A video from YouTube will say YouTube or something in the player box. You may also see an address link that will take you to the correct URL address of their website that we all trust. Viruses and porn and bad things will be linked to unfamiliar websites and addresses. You can hover and discover where the videos and links and information and other things are coming from before you watch or click on them. Education is fundamental. Don't live in fear of the problems out there. Learn a little bit about it & take action & be in control. Try your best each day to learn more & to be better.

Return to USA? Homesick? No, VietnamSick
Will you return to your country for the Lunar New Year? No, because we don't celebrate that holiday. People ask me this question all of the time. Do you miss your family? Yes. Will you go back? Yes, maybe, but Vietnam is my family as well. Are you homesick? Yes, but if I travel back to the America, then I'll be Vietnam-Sick. I like Vietnam. I moved to Vietnam in the year of 2012
.
I've dreamt of world travel since the age of eight, to help, act, sing, teach, dance, volunteer, educate, entertain, inspire, aid, learn, explore, live, love, experience, & encourage people all around the world. Now, I'm 30 years old & have been living in Vietnam for over three years now. What are your dreams? What are your goals? I want to help people. More specifically, that is what I do and that is what I continue to try my best to do more of. I was born in the United States in 1985 in Oregon. Why don't you live there now? Because I want to give back to society. I want to contribute all that I am and have from America to and for people of other countries. That is what I do. I help people who are trying to live in America. How do you help people move to the USA? I teach English which helps people pass immigration interviews, obtain educational scholarships, & prepare for employment endeavours. I help people pursue their dreams & careers through developing life skills. I'm full of passion, not anger. I'm not an expert at anything really, but I try my best to share my skills, knowledge, charisma, gifts, & experience with others. Some of my hobbies includes basketball, writing, reading, speaking, listening, sports, video games, computers, technology, acting, filming, directing, art, design, singing, dancing, thinking, debating, board games, movies, comedy, joking, bikes, questions, mysteries, learning, having fun, ice-cream, oatmeal, Jesus, character development, telling stories, Batman, piano, guitar, making up things, cartoons, Star Wars, Turtles, Rangers....
.
Why don't you work at an English Center? Because I'm trying to create my own language school. I've worked at schools & other places before in the north of Vietnam & also in Saigon as well. I've been teaching, counselling, & working with people (like children, especially), since the year of 2003. I have years of experience. I studied it in school as well. Sometimes, I disagree with how some schools teach English. Some schools are more focused on more traditional methods of learning which proves to be mainly ineffective. They focus on keeping students coming back. They milk-out lessons & raise tuition while diminishing actual uninterrupted time with real native English speakers & foreigners. They focus on grammar more than communication & pronunciation, which is a problem. I work & volunteer at a center or classroom now & I'm doing other things as well
