A day

05.26.07 (4:03 pm)   [edit]

Tomorrow I will go back to my country to visit my dad's grave. Time has gone by so fast. I can still remember every details of my dad's funeral two months. It hurted me a lot. I know I must face this some day, but it came too soon when I haven't prepared anything. How come it came too soon! So sad, too sad...

I have bad carsick, I don't feel well whenever I'm on any car. But now I think I'll have to go by car a lot from this time on, 'cos my dad's grave is pretty far from my home. I think tomorrow I will cry a lot, but "Who knows where the road will lead us?" right?

This maybe the last time I write about my beloved father, but certainly he'll be always on my mind. May you rest in peace, and don't forget to cheer for Chelsea, dad?

It's been a while...

How long have I now written blog? I don't know. It took me a long time to be calm back after my father's death, to be strong and sensitive again to write these words. Those last four months were really a disaster to me. The study pressure, thinking about my future, the death of my beloved father...I thought I really got stuck and couldn't escape from my depression at that time. I always keep my smile on my face, but I cried inside, and it hurts a lot when you can't cry in front of someone. Now, I don't think I'm back to normal, but at least I have enough strenght to write these things, and cry.............

Say goodbye to the TET Holiday

This is the last day of the Tet holiday. Wow, three weeks had gone so fast and I have to go to school again. It will be very hard to get back to school after three weeks of eating, watching TV, playing all day without worrying about studying, staying up and waking up late in the morning. I'll be back to normal life just like before, going to school, studying and going to bed. Phew! I will miss you a lot, my Tet Holiday. Cry

Valentine

02.14.07 (9:03 pm)   [edit]
" If there was no words, no way to speak, I would still hear you.
If there was no tear, no way to feel inside I’d still feel for you.
And even if the sun refused to shine, even if romance ran out of rhyme,
You would still have my heart until the end of time
‘cos you all I need my love, my Valentine…
For all of my life, I have been waiting for someone like you,
You opened my eyes and show me how to love unselfishly.
I’ve dreamt of this a thousand times before,
But in my dreams I could love you more.
I will give you my heart until the end of time.

‘ cos all I need is you, my Valentine.."

HAPPY  VALENTINE’S  DAY!

 

 

Cold

02.06.07 (4:08 pm)   [edit]
The weather is really unpredictable!!!!! It's very cold in the morning, but then it becomes hotter in the afternoon, and at night it's windy and cold again. I don't know how to deal with this kind of weather. Do I have to take the coat all day with me?? But I can't wear it all the time, 'cos in my school it's very hot, and all the fans were turned off because of this weather. So, after a week living with this "freaky weather", I started to sniff and cough again. How aweful!! Anyway, I have to thank for being have a cold, 'cos I don't have to think a lot about whether to take a coat to school or not, 'cos now I have to wear it all the times.

Would you like to cry???

People cry for many reasons. They cry when they feel very bad. They cry when something terrible happens, like a death in the family. They cry in sorrow when a clese friend becomes seriously ill. They cry when that feel very sad or very angry. They cry when they feel helpless to do anything about a problem.

People also cry when they feel very good. They cry when they hace been very worried about st but find out that everything is all right. They cry when st wonderful happens.

Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleans out the the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poisonous chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feelings.

How do you feel about crying?

This square of numbers has a certain magic property. To see its magic property, first copy this square of numbers on another sheet of paper:

Circle any number in the first row. Circle any number in the second row which is not n the same column as the first number you circled. Circle any number in the third row which is not in the same column as either of the first two numbers you circled. Circle any number in the fourth row which is not in the same column as any of the first three numbers you circled. Circle the number in the fifth row which is not in the same column as any of the first foir number you circled.

Now add up the numbers you circled. Your sum should be 55! How did we know?
