A wild book chase
At 8:45 pm last night, I went to the bookstore which is my favorite one lately since it has lots of new book with the discount of 20%-30%. I picked up a Haruki Murakami's book "A wild sheep chase" and looked at the price....And then put it down back to the shelf. Finally, I ended up buying "Sprial" by Suzuki Koji. That's all!

Don't leave me
I know you're sick of me for a long time, but don't leave me yet ! I need you, at least at this important stage of my life, hair !
I've been suffering from hair loss and frizzy hair since I decided brown is the most gorgeous hair color a girl should possess. I got my hair dyed twice a year without any hair recovery treatments, which led to the cruel revenge of my hair now.
Regret ! And with the largest budget I can build up, these are all I could do to get my hair back to the normal condition.

Ambivalence ?
You're tan and you want to be white ?
But there are other people who are white and dying to be tan
But there are other people who are white and dying to be tan
I just don't get it.

Iblard Jikan - Another Ghibli's masterpiece
Iblard Jikan ( Iblard Time)
Iblard Jikan is a Japanese anime short film produced by Studio Ghibli. The story is set in the imaginary world of Iblard, originally depicted in paintings by Inoue. The paintings of Iblard also inspired the fantasy sequences of Ghibli's Wishper of the Heart - which I quite like (source: Wikipedia)
Prepare to be overwhelmed by Ghibli's eye candies

Flown away
I've flown too high on borrowed wings
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing no one but me
Up there's all empty and down there's the sea
No one here but me
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing no one but me
Up there's all empty and down there's the sea
No one here but me
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight
There's something up here that makes me wince
And I still got the feelings that I've felt ever since
I got to this place arrived at last
In front there's the future right back there's the past
Everything's moving so fast
There's nothing but light that comes into sight
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay
Please my wings fly me away.
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay
Please my wings fly me away.

Got to study !
I'm trying to put my arms around my huge book as tightly as I can so as to get the feeling that I've already comprehend all of the "helpful-interesting-intriguing-easy" knowledge in it...which I can't,obviously.
*and then notice that I'm just about to fall asleep with the effect of the weight of that lovely book*

I see myself in her music.
Playing my game is the 1st album of Lene Marlin - a Norwegian singer and composer. I admire her, truly. She came to me one day long time ago through a friend of my sister and I still love her music since then. Her 1st album is the only one I've listened to so far. Yet, I would never get enough of the melancholic aura in those songs of her. Hopefully, the first is always the best as I believe. Can you feel how soft her whisper right to your ears? and to my soul as for me.

The era of brutal fairy tales
The upcoming movie of Sleeping Beauty - one of my favorite fairy tales of all time makes me want to write something about the return of several old stories recently.
Hollywood probably wants to make things, in this case I mean movies, innovative and off the beaten paths, that's why those kid-all-time-favorite stories are not made for them anymore, they are turning brutal,vicious and of course couldn't lack some random erotic scenes to spice up the whole adult theme, in my opinion.
Life sucks, why is everybody so eager to make it more miserable? I want my innocent and dreamlike fairy tales back.
"A haunting erotic fairy tale about Lucy, a student who drifts into prostitution and finds her niche as a woman who sleeps, drugged, in a ‘Sleeping Beauty chamber’ while men do to her what she can‘t remember the next morning."
"Set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf, a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure."

The blurry line between art and vulgarity
Tu Tu - a Chinese girl who became famous recently for showing her nude photos with a view to saving her grandmother - such a goodwill.
Now, she is back for more "skin", more closer looks at one of many corners of her real soul. A human being who needs to be exposed with emotions and sometimes aggressive feelings.
Here a thought: Could this be considered to be ART?

Things I must do before dying
1. Seeing either of the aurora borealis or the aurora australis
2. Having a tattoo ( or some)
3. Going to Hoi An with my beloved boyfriend (noted: not my husband)
4. Growing my hair all the way down to my waist
5. Going abroad (traveling and business trips are all counted)
6. Hearing someone tell me that : "You are special to me"
7. Buying a house in my hometown to get away from this polluted city
Those are all I can think of now,

Đà Nẵng - part 1 (How many resorts are there in this city?)
Du lịch đến những miền đất mới chưa bao giờ là niềm đam mê của mình mãi cho đến khi được gặp gỡ và làm quen với những người bạn lấy du lịch và khám phá làm niềm vui trong suốt cuộc đời họ. Có thể chính những câu chuyện mà mình được nghe đã truyền cảm hứng cho sự yêu thích đặc biệt của mình với việc du lịch (mình chưa dám gọi nó là đam mê vì một số lý do). Cái cảm giác được đặt chân đến những nơi mới mẻ, tìm hiểu về lịch sử, và thú vị nhất là chụp thật nhiều hình ảnh để làm kỉ niệm luôn khiến mình phấn khởi.
Dù vậy, quanh đi quẩn lại mình vẫn chưa đi được đâu xa ngoài những tỉnh miền Tây, Đà Lạt, Vũng Tàu vì những lí do khách quan và chủ quan sau đây: mẹ không cho đi xa vì sợ bị người ta bắt cóc (và muôn vàn lý do đáng sợ khác mẹ tự nghĩ ra), bản thân là sinh viên nghèo hiếu học nên nói thẳng ra là không có đủ chi phí chi trả, thời gian học tập và làm việc không cho phép nghỉ từ 4-5 ngày.
Cuối cùng cơ hội cũng đã đến một ngày đầu tháng 4-2011, kì thực tập vừa kết thúc tiếp theo sau là gần 1 tháng tự ôn tập tại nhà cho kì thi tốt nghiệp. Không gì tốt hơn là đi du lịch lúc này, khi cả cơ thể và đầu óc mụ mị của mình đang cần một cái gì đó mới mẻ để chuẩn bị cho giai đoạn sắp tới-giai đoạn bị "đá" ra khỏi trường và sẵn sàng chiến đấu với cái thế giới khắc nghiệt ngoài kia.
May mắn sao mình kịp dớt thêm bà chị cũng đang buồn chán và vừa xin nghỉ phép được mấy ngày, có hai chị em thì mẹ sẽ an tâm hơn và thế là giấp phép thông hành cũng được ban phát sau mấy ngày năn nỉ đến gãy lưỡi.
Tiếp theo là khâu xin nghỉ phép khó khăn nhưng cuối cùng cũng nhận được một từ "Ờ, cho e nghỉ đó"...Mừng không thể tả....whoohooo
Đặt vé, nhận vé thì vô cùng dễ dàng vì khách hàng là thượng đế mà, lưu í thêm là mình đi theo travel agency vì chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm du lịch và cũng đa phần là vì mẹ khá lo lắng nên không dám đi bụi như số đông bạn trẻ bây giờ vẫn làm. Dù sao thì được đi cũng là vui rồi, mình thật sự không lấy làm phiền lòng vì điều này cho lắm. Nhưng té ra chuyện không như mình tưởng tượng mà đến khi tham gia đoàn tour mình mới hiểu rõ. Đúng thiệt là đi một ngày đàng học một sàng khôn. Mà mình đi đến 4 ngày cơ, vậy là học cũng được kha khá đấy chứ.
Điểm đến của mình là miền Trung thân yêu, Đà Nẵng-Huế-Hội An-Phong Nha. Vì có rất nhiều chuyện nảy sinh trong chuyến đi liên quan tới dịch vụ du lịch nên mình sẽ nói về nó trong phần sau, sau khi "bộc lộ" hết cảm xúc của mình dành cho từng vùng miền, từng địa danh cảnh đẹp mà mình có dịp đi qua.
Đà Nẵng
Máy bay hạ cánh xuống sân bay Đà Nẵng vào 7g sáng, Đà Nẵng hiện ra trong mắt mình với cái se se lạnh một buổi sáng tinh mơ. Sân bay Đà Nẵng vẫn còn khá nhỏ và lỗi thời, khó khiến người ta liên tưởng đến hai chữ "quốc tế" trên cái bảng treo trước cửa sân bay. Nhìn qua nhìn lại, à thì ra sân bay đang được nâng cấp và sửa chữa, chắc chẳng bao lâu thì nó sẽ trở thành một Tân Sơn Nhất thứ 2 như lời chị Hướng dẫn viên đã nói.
Đà Nẵng International Airport |
Thành phố Đà Nẵng khiến mình đi từ bất ngờ này đến bất ngờ khác, với những bãi biển trải dài thơ mộng và chính sách thu hút đầu từ đúng mức, thành phố đã khoác lên mình diện mạo hiện đại mang dáng vóc một thành thành phố du lịch đúng nghĩa, vô số resort ven biển với vốn đầu tư nước ngoài mọc lên chen chúc mà vẻ bên ngoài luôn khiến bao người bị hấp dẫn. Chà, phải chi được ở một ngày ở đây thì thật là tuyệt cú mèo. Khó hiểu là nhìn kĩ lắm rồi mà mình cũng không thấy khách du lịch ở những khu resort này, cái nào cũng khá là hoang vắng, có lẽ vì chưa đến mùa du lịch ư?

Norwegian wood --- When you're lonely, you have to shout it out loud!
Sau 2 hay 3 ngày ròng rã, cuối cùng mình đã xem xong Rừng Na uy (Norwegian wood). Thật là dễ chịu làm sao, cũng vì cái trang web xem phim chậm như rùa bò, nhưng vì sao mình chờ, vì mình muốn thưởng thức hết cái "hay" của bộ phim bằng ngôn ngữ yêu thích của mình (tiếng việt).
Phim kết thúc, suy nghĩ đọng lại trong mình lúc này là tác giả đã hoàn toàn sai khi đặt tiêu đề cho cuốn sách của ông. Tại sao lại là Rừng Na uy (đúng ra là gỗ Na uy), chẳng lẽ vì nhân vật trong truyện rất yêu thích ca khúc này, quá sức lờ mờ. Theo mình, tốt nhất ông ta nên đặt tên truyện như sau, sẽ giúp độc giả hiểu rõ hơn họ sắp được thưởng thức cái gì trước khi rút tiền mua tiểu thuyết này: Tôi yêu một cô gái-trước kia là bạn gái của người bạn đã chết do tự tử-và cô ấy hiện giờ bị điên-tôi cũng không biết tôi có yêu cô gái khác không nhưng tôi thấy cô ấy thật gợi cảm. Tuyệt vời!
Grandma! Rest in peace
Back home after a 4-day trip to my hometown, it's not a relaxing or traveling trip though, I need to get back there to make it up to my absence during my grandma's funeral.It's hard to say that if I'm regretting for not presenting at the saddest day of my whole family or not. To be honest, I did feel sad and miserable when hearing that my grandma has passed away, but the feeling soon faded away. I know, maybe because I'm the only one grand daughter that not very close to grandma. Everybody was crying a lot, so why was I not ????? Looking at the photos of the funeral, at my grandma lying there in the coffin gave me goose pumps and brought me to the real tears. So this is the emotion when one person of your family leaves you. You can't see her face anymore, can't listen to her voice anymore. Everything is in the past, in the past. I wonder how it will be in the after life, is that a better place as everybody always says?
Seeing my aunt being sad and lonely after my grandma's death, I know from now on she could just live on with the memories. grandma is really gone and I think living people should carry on doing the same things as before.

Internship journal
Internship journal
It's better to keep a journal during your internship, something like a diary.
My team currently has 3 clients: FedEx, Nutrifood and MasterCard
First day
It came out that nothing so hard as I had thought but something kept irritating me, don't know what yet
Tasks I was given:
Note: Maybe, I had done all the tasks and submitted them to the staff who assigned them to me too fast. Might slow down a little bit and focus on the internship report on the 2nd day. Plus, I still haven't found out about the company's hierarchy and the flow of information in the corporation.

- Finding the mistakes in MC website and correcting them (used PowerPoint)

I wish I have a river to skate away on
Spending a couple of my precious hours to watch a movie called "The kids are all right". It's a great one though, about a lesbian couple bringing up two kids and still they've made some wrong decisions, some bad choices, they love each other eventually and unconditionally. Thanks to this movie, in a scene while all the characters are having dinner, they talk about Joni Mitchell and some of her famous songs. I was curious and then....Here comes the RIVER, just can't stop listening to it. WICKED, it makes me chill, make me wanna cry.....out loud.....even though I still don't understand the lyric fully. :(((
I think I'm having chicken pox right now, it's the 1st day of the year and one of my worst nightmares probably is coming......how pathetic....Still, can't do anything till tomorrow after getting a check up
