Not many notice my feet and very few recognize how special (ugly) the toes are :D. I like the name they were called: “hobbit” feet
Anyway to me, they are very nice and beautiful, like the person who have them
Just back from the holidays. feel tired but really relax and found one thing: good-looking men like to stare at me :)) Anyway only the man i need likes staring at me is enough :}
I have a big question: what makes a man like a woman?
why do you like/love me?
What are the differences between like and love? Is it difficult for some men to speak it out?
Another good book for my kids has been contributed to the big library I will have and dream of :P. I always dream about one day when I can read for my lovely kids good books which can tell them in gentle and mild ways how to live right and become benevolent people. There are many books sold in book shops nowadays but not many good new books for children are found. This book made me feel touched for simple but very humane things which teach people to love and respect ones who are different from us. The beautiful story was written under the eyes of a person who has a great love with kids so it is full of lovely situations about kids’ expression and the process they are growing up which is wrapped in the story about a seagull and cats. Very lovely and sweet! Love it and love to think about my children too. How will they look like?
Some days ago I met some friends and when they showed me the travel guide book entitled “Lonely Planet” to ask me a word in that book, I suddenly had in my mind one question: why is the book entitled “Lonely Planet”. Is this because when you are alone in a new place, you will have the book stay besides, tell you necessary things like a friend? Probably! Perhaps they have more reasons. I will check up on internet later.
My brother has been home for almost a month. he went out to meet friends and had a lot activities almost everyday but 2 days ago he changed his status on yahoo and facebook in Spanish which says “I want to go. I am lonely in this big city…” I had to look those up in google translate to understand and i felt sad but just a little bit surprised. When I asked him about that he smiled, tried to deny but when I said why I knew it, he smiled again and didn’t say anything. I didn’t question him more because i could understand somehow and felt compassionate for my poor brother. My bother and I are really alike in at least one thing: we keep our sadness inside so that we don’t bother others! But the feeling is not always obedient.
One of the pressures my brother has comes from my parents. after my brother’s two years living far from home, my parents still want him to be a child under their control. Before he arrived home, i tried to persuade them to respect him as a mature person, listen to him and avoid criticizing him. But it just worked for few days and then my parents wanted to control my brother’s actions again, like before he went abroad. I can understand their feelings. People who care about their children too much and too carefully will feel lost more when their children become grown up and independent enough to decide their life themselves without asking their parents. For sure my parents feel difficult to accept it when they don’t have rights on their children anymore. and the result is my brother feels bored when he has to listen to “life lessons”every days given by my parents and their advice to ask him to do this, not do that… He wants to go out of the house all the time even though he doesn’t have to. His friends have their own issues and I have my own things to do, so we can’t be with him all the time. as a result, he feels lonely sometimes when he needs, no one can respond or understand him. at the meantime, my mother calls me often just to ask me to “teach” him how to live better, ask my parents before he goes everywhere and come home instead of spending time all the day outside. When I explained: I can’t teach him, he’s grown up, i just can talk to him as a friend, as a sister and give him my ideas and let him decide himself, my mother felt disappointed and thought I didn’t stand by my parents. it’s hard to make both feel comfortable in this case even though I understand their feelings and want to help them. i just can feel sad and stuck. even though it’s hard, hopefully time can makes my parents get used to the situation. and we, ourselves, hopefully can find a solution to make our parents understand us and respect our mature life. Its interesting and also hard to find that when people get old, they want to talk more, show their knowledge more, complain more and even “teach” more… it’s just because they have fewer things to care about, fewer things to do and they feel more lonely, which makes them have a need of communicating more. They are afraid of the feeling that they are not needed for others, for life anymore :). We understand that and one day we will become so but it’s hard to deal with the problem.
In this case, people all need help but there is no “lonely planet” book to assist us!

I shared the question with one of my friends and she recommended me try some songs by this guy. Quite like his voice, for example, in the following song.
Just finished this book during my work trip. I really see me and my feelings in some situations of the main character’s stories . I can’t say its an excellent book but it’s really an entertaining book which can help you to speak out a lot of very “human” feelings and desire that you have in real life, you experience but are not brave enough to speak out…
I used to hear a fun comment (or a complain:) ) that: women like reading love stories but they don’t like to be in love. (or “(the) woman only likes reading love stories. She doesn’t like to be in love”.. I don’t remember exactly :D)… It’s not true :). They (she) want to be in love and they (she) read love stories to be more (or deeper) in love:):p.
To be honest, if i didn’t read so many romance books, I would be a very boring person! Because from the nature i am a coward, simple and naive (foolish) girl .
From books I learn to be smarter, gain more knowledge as well as build better sense of humor. Recommend you read this book to be clear about what i said.:)

“Do you want the truth?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.” He reached for her hand and kissed her palm. “You look better than you did when you were a Smurf.”
A wrinkle appeared in the corners of his eyes, and Delaney felt a rush of warm tingles tickle her fingertips and spread across her breasts. This was the Nick she loved. The Nick who teased as he kissed. The man who could make her laugh even as he made her want to cry. “I should have asked you to lie”.
…
The bell above the door rang as Delaney emptied the hair into a trash basket. She heard a collective intake of female breath from the other work stations and the thud of boots.
“Can I help you?”
“Thanks,” said an achingly familiar voice. “I found what I’m looking for.”
She turned and looked at Nick an arm’s length away. “What do you want?”
“I want to talk to you.”
He’d cut his hair short. One dark lock curled and touched his brow. He took her breath away.
“I’m busy.”
“Give me five minutes.”
“Do I have a choice?” she asked, fully expecting him to say no, so she could then tell him to go to hell.
He shifted his weight to one foot and shoved his hands in the front pockets of his jeans.
“Yes.”
His answer threw her and she turned to Ali, who worked at the next station. “I’ll be back in five minutes,” she said and walked toward the door. With Nick right behind her, she walked into the hall and stopped beside a pay telephone. “You’ve got five minutes.” She leaned back against the wall and folded her arms over her breasts.
“Why did you leave town in such a hurry?” Read the rest of this entry »
i met her again in my business trip to Ha Giang- The gentle girl I flunk in the recent recruitment because of her cold answer to a sensitive question! I didn’t appreciate her but i never hated her despite the unclear story between her and the new colleague.
However when i had time to communicate with her and listened her life stories, observed the way she treated people, i saw in her a beauty of an independent but still very pure, gentle and benevolent woman. She just came back to Vietnam after 10 years living in France, Italia and Australia but she looks very simple like a country girl with all traditional values of a Northern Vietnamese girl. I still don’t know why she reacted so to my question in the interview. I don’t mean after i knew the woman more, I felt guilty that I didn’t choose her. Actually now i still think that she’s not suitable for the job. Because of the failure in the interview, today she came back to her hometown in the center of Vietnam and stayed in the same bus with me on the way to Hanoi. We sat next to each other…
When I finished the shower and touched my phone in the evening, I saw her sms saying “How are you? Are you tired yet.. I am happy to know you. Thank you so much for your kindness. You are really a nice person…..” I felt ashamed. I didn’t do anything to help her besides talking to her… I even….:(
But anyway I understand that I was given a chance to get to know a good person… and that we need time, need communication to understand a person…
I used to like this teen movie very much when i first watched long ago and sure i liked heath ledger’s character in the movie very much:p. he is a talented actor but what a pity this actor died too early last year. Based on the poem “10 things I hate about you” in this movie i wrote another similar poem to say some similar emotion i had at the time and posted it here :p. Still feel touched when read it again.
and this song is quite cool though i have to admit that I never have much emotion (even feel bored) when someone tells me “I can’t take my eyes off you”. I have a feeling like the person has played back a boring song he recorded which he has played for million times. really uninspiring! ayza! I like truthful and sincere words which can sometimes be only expressed by a man’s eyes and the way he acts to show his care about the person he adores. Sometimes it’s very simple but still makes you moved to tears as you can feel that it comes from his heart.
I had an intensive interview today to select some people who will work in one of our program in some ethnic minority areas. Those who will be selected will work as a “bridge” to connect local ethnic minority people with a delegation of 52 Luxembourgers who will go to work in the places. There are some things I learned from the interview.
Firstly I can see that more and more young people now are very excellent compared with people of my generation. at their age i was still very naive, didn’t know much about life besides studying and still felt happy to be carefully cared by my parents but those people are trying a lot to find opportunities to help the disadvantageous people, earn living and actively do many significant things. Their skills, their foreign languages are such strong weapons. Those people really can make a better future for the country rather than people like us :).
Secondly one case of the interview makes me concerned about two things. When I asked a candidate what she would do when an ethnic minority person offered their food to a Luxembourger but he refused it because he didn’t like it…the candidate immediately told me that she didn’t have to care about the ethnic person and that she was serving for the Luxembourg team so she would only care about the Luxembourger’s feeling… I was surprised. The candidate was born in 1978- the oldest person in the list of candidates! She looks gentle, mild. She used to live abroad in different countries for 10 years and timely picked for her an international name called Angela. All of information in her CV shows things different from what I heard. She’s a Vietnamese and she’s applying to work in a development program supporting poor ethnic minority people but she said coldly as if she didn’t involve in the people she will work with… The thing is nowadays there are more and more people who are so selfish and appreciate foreign values more than their own values. I work with many foreigners and traveled to many countries but I really feel annoyed when I know a Vietnamese change her/his name into a foreign name for the purpose so called “to integrate into the international environment”. The truth is many of those use the representative noun “Vietnamese people” to say about negative things of ones from the country where they come from such as ” Vietnamese people are blah blah”. That’s ridiculous. They forget that in their body Vietnamese blood is flowing. No one, except them, forget that they are still Vietnamese when they say such things. And the most important thing is no one will respect you if you don’t respect yourself.
However I see that many people from my country who go abroad don’t want to make friends with foreigners or feel ashamed to say they come from Vietnam because they think foreigners look down on their nose!!! That’s a very negative thought. If you meet some foreigners who really think so, you should be more proud of yourselves and have more motivations to make friends with them to change their wrong impressions about you and make them respect your values. I remember when I first talked with a French housemate in Norway, he thought in Vietnam we didn’t know about football and didn’t have football teams!!! I laughed loud when i heard that and after sometime we could watch football together and he started to ask more questions to get to know more and more about my country and the people. in this case I think lacking information is the reason that makes others misunderstand you and surely your mission is just friendly providing more information to them. When you can change the situation, sometimes you will have simple moments of happiness or feel touched when you see your foreign friends try hard to correctly pronounce your name or the person you adore carefully write your full name (with the special character) in his presents or enjoy the food you cook… Then You know you are adored and respected as who you are, with your own values!
Back to the story of the interview. I surely won’t select the girl because she didn’t respect the ethnic minority people who she is supposed to work with if she passed the interview. But if she deserved being selected, i still have more reasons to be concerned. She’s the one one of my new colleague asked me to give some priorities because she will be his own “secretary” in the project site after the program is finished. he has a wife who is pregnant and still waiting for him in his hometown but he seems unashamed to say such thing to me. He doesn’t know I hate the most guys who are unfaithful. Who do they think they are when they give themselves a right to consider women as their toys and games. They hurt/ cheat two (or even more) women at the same time and still require those women to be loyal to them?! Ridiculous!!! I feel it disgusting when I see/ imagine such guys victoriously laughing or commenting when they talk about the women they are “playing” with. i want to vomit! such dirty, cheap, selfish and cruel guys. Actually i have no word to say about such pathetic dirty PIGs ’cause they suck to the core! (Sorry pigs, I may insult pigs when I compare such guys with them :)))
If I were those women I would kick those guys out of my life immediately without a little regret. I have sympathy and feel compassionate for any women who are cheated or used by those guys so i will never do anything to support that kind of relationship even if the new colleague asked me to give him a favor. Well I was born in the zone of stars of equality. I am a Libra woman
Aw I love loyal guys, especially if that is the one who is very lovely and inspiring. You know :P.
You will always feel happy and warm in the heart whenever you think of such the decent guy. You know :P.
When is the day I don’t have to drop tears for things like this anymore? Tell me!
Why is life so hard??? I have tried my best but now i am exhausted! Want to escape to an isolated island where I don’t have to see such things, such people anymore!
Điều hoang đường nhất là tình yêu em dành cho anh.
Đã lâu rồi, xa rồi, vẫn còn ánh lửa chưa dứt gọi mời.
Ngày đó vội vàng rồi chóng qua, anh là người chóng quên.
Em như đứa trẻ thơ, tình này chắc nhiều dại khờ.
Về trong những tháng ngày, để lắng nghe tình đầy chưa thay.
Nhớ người giờ đây đã xa xôi, xa từ khi vòng tay từ giã.
Về nguyện cầu cho anh, những đam mê sẽ lên trời tung bay.
Mưa rơi sáng nay anh cứ ngủ say, em vẫn dõi theo cuộc đời anh những phút giây bồi hồi.
Về trong, những đêm dài, để khóc cho cuộc tình không may.
Khóc người tình xưa có khi chẳng ngại gió mưa, một ngày mùa đông giá tràn về.
Sẽ ra sao, dù mai sẽ thế nào.
Em vẫn ngốc nghếch đợi chờ, người lớn ơi..
…Anh không thể nào chối từ..Yêu anh, xa xôi thành phố trầm ngâm trong khói, giá lạnh mùa đông.
Thương anh, xanh xao hình bóng bề bộn căn phòng.
Yêu anh yêu những bản tình ca sáng trong.
Yêu anh khơi thắp ngọn đèn khuya nhớ mong.
Chờ vết thương kia sẽ mau lành.
Hạnh phúc kia rồi sẽ mau thành. Người còn yêu nhau sẽ trở về với nhau.
Và tình yêu còn mãi riêng dành.
Về trong, những tháng…ngày…
Để lắng nghe tình đầy chưa thay.
Nhớ người giờ đây đã xa xôi, xa từ khi vòng tay từ giã.
Về nguyện cầu cho anh, những đam mê sẽ lên trời tung bay.
Mưa rơi sáng nay anh cứ ngủ say, em vẫn dõi theo cuộc đời anh những phút giây rạng ngời.
Về trong những đêm dài, để ước ao một ngày tương lai.
Sẽ về ngồi đây với em, chuyện trò với em, một ngày con tim anh đã đổi thay.
Sẽ ra sao, dù mai sẽ thế nào.
Em vẫn ngốc nghếch đợi chờ, điều này rất viển vông.
Mà người lớn ơi, làm sao anh có thể chối từ
Nhìn ảnh Renato nhà bạn Hạnh bế trên tay em bé, mình tưởng tưởng ra cảnh chàng bế một đứa bé trên tay mà cứ buồn cười. Nhất là khi nghĩ đến lúc Mulia hét lên “Nooooooooooo…not that child” khi nghe câu trả lời của mình nữa!:) Không biết phải tưởng tưởng như thế nào mới đúng nữa. Một người ham chơi và có lẽ vẫn chưa hết trẻ con như thế thì sẽ thế nào khi trở thành bố? Hay thiên chức sẽ mách bảo các ông bố dù trẻ trung đến mấy cũng sẽ cảm thấy hạnh phúc như ông bố trong video clip này khi được làm bố? Có khi rất nhiều người cũng không thể tưởng tượng được đứa nhí nhố như mình khi làm mẹ ấy chứ
Dù thế nào thì cũng rất xúc động khi xem quảng cáo này và cảm thấy hạnh phúc khi nghĩ đến một ngày nào đó được nhìn thấy người mình yêu bế trên tay đứa con bé bỏng của hai đứa trên tay :).
