The importance of protecting wild animals

  Some people claim that wild animals are more harm than good for human life in future, leading to the fact that protecting them is unnecessary while the others believe that not only do people have to preserve wild animals from extinction but people also should return to them the natural environment invaded by human. I am totally convinced by the latter view for following reasons.
  First, opponent argue that it is a waste of money and labour source for protecting wild animals while many people in the world still suffer starvation and disease . Undoubtedly, that governments pour a huge of money on all animals' preversation researches and programs which may achieve nothing can cause the lack of money for other important fields. However, is it true in any circumstances? The fact has shown the opposite result which changes people' conciousness and bring economic benefit for the whole nation. In this case, seaworld is a stark example of successful marine park which attracts tourists from all over the world and is of great education value for children. Moreover, not only can animal's protecting programs create more jobs for unemployments but its also help people gain a lot of exhilarating knowledge on animals life.
  Second, it is claimed that the role of wild animals is not important because human already have the development of technology.To illustrate, unlike in the past, nowadays pigeons are no longer used to convey letters thanks to the inventions of telephone and internet. But, it is undeniable that many great inventions for our modern life imitated the wildlife of animals, such as plane, car, and so on. Furthermore, only by preserving wild animals can the people keep ecological balance to avoid natural disasters. For example, there are more and more unpredicted natural disasters which damaged thousands lives due to the bad actions of people with nature and wild animals like invading wild animals lands, ruining natural forests and discarding toxic rubbish to natural environment. Unquestionably, wild animals play an important part in the existing of the earth, leading to the fact that animals have their right to be protected in this planet. Last but not least, only when joining in some animals preservation or being taught about these issue at school can children know more about the theory of evolution and find the connection between them and the wildlife.

Gender preference

  I, 22 years old college girl, strongly believed that almost men in our country cherish illusions on their more important role than women in everything. Men think that they assume stronger responsibility than women, leading to the fact that some of them cannot learn how to respect women. Especially, in a developing country like Vietnam which still have high rate of  illiteracy, poor education system and sex-preference thinking, .........

Jealousy

.... It comes when u r not confident at anything u do.
U scare of failure. U think u r not good enough. U blame yourself for a lot of silly reasons.
n U hate the others just because they have many things really good that u don't n u want its for yourself.
U felt hurt when u don't receive the admiration from ppl. Badly, The jealousy might destroy your relationship with others, ruin your friendship,....
   I have a friend. She's really good (at a lot of things) but she's always jealous with others. She even stole other's ideas and other's interesting characteristic in order to make her more special. What's a pity!

HERE ARE WAY TO OVERCOME THE JEALOUSY:
1. Take a deep breath for at least 15s. ( u will fell much better after this step ^^)
2. Make a list of things which : only you have, only you can do it best, usually get good comments from ppl, make u special, make u happy when u think about it,....
JUST 2 SIMPLE STEPS N U WILL GET THROUGH THE UGLY JEALOUSY

Something good, something bad

1. Good things:
  I've just finish the 4th year at university (still have 1 year left but it's not a big deal cause my marks r really cool, so i don't have to worry so much about graduating things) and i'm having a great hot summer waiting for me now >0<. Although i don't have enough money to travel to swhere far away from Hanoi, i'm happy about the small trip to the sea in the next few weeks. And my English class have to wait for me till I come back :)). I can't focus on IELTS cause there r thousands of attractive summer plans in my head now. The only one thing i can do is that going to some English speaking club for practicing my bad speaking skill T.T. I went to AC in thursday n friday's afternoons (but not frequently) and to Galec2 usually at 6.30p.m thursday. I think i will go to Seamap club again (like i did before having interesting infomation about Galec2 club :)) - i'm such an unfaithful person :)) ).
2. Bad things:
  My English speaking skill is still bad, bad, bad.... really bad.... T.T. The faster i wanted to improve it , the worse ability i got. The question is why? and how can it become worse than ever? T.T.
I realise that i'm not good at anything. Speaking, Thinking, Comumicating, even driving car n motorbike T.T.
When did i become a loser that i didn't know?
Moreover, the worst thing ever is that i'm careless to the kind of clothers i wear. I didn't pay enough attention to my looks. It's too bad!!!!!!!!!!!! n i'm so upset about it. I'm stupid to think that i'm pretty when the truth is i'm not. Now look at my wardrobe, i can't find anything mature  to wear. All of my Tshirt have some animals in its (pig, dog, dolphin, minnie mouse n even mermaid :((((((((((((((((. its all childish things. T.T. People keep telling me that I'm cute baby faced girl, I'm like a baby... T.T. Yes, I agreed that last year i still didn't want to grow up anymore... However, the fact that i'm always like a primary student is really hurt T.T. And when i'm standing with my friends who r all grown-up, i seem lost T.T. Further more, my relationships with others r not good either because of that. I always act like a child. My friends treat me like a child 2. o m g!!!!!!!! why everything never follow the way i want. It always goes in the opposite side n I'm really mad. I always in a bad mood these days. ... Help meeeeeeeeeeeee! S.O.S

mean girl

... Sao mình càng ngày càng xấu tính thế nhờ...? :(( shit shit shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mình bắt đầu ghét ngay cả những người không bao giờ làm điều gì có hại... bắt đầu thái độ với ngay cả những người sweet nhất. 
:(( :(( what's wrong with me??????
... Mỗi lần tỏ ra xấu tính một cách bất thường và vô cớ, mình lại tự vấn bản thân, rõ ràng thấy rất tội lỗi, rất không phải.... nhưng không tự kiềm chế được....
Biết là có những người hơi phiễn nhiễu một tí, hơi quê một tí, hơi nhàm chán một tí, hơi lắm điều một tí....nhưng chung quy vẫn là tốt... thế mà mình cũng thái độ ra mặt... SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Cái tính chảnh chọe chết tiệt.... Mỗi năm đều thấy mình có vẻ như là đã lớn hơn, đã chín chắn hơn.... nhưng cuối cùng vẫn là không phải như thế.... T.T Sao mình có thể đối xử vs những người đó như vậy??? Đôi lúc thấy mình còn đáng sợ hơn trong phim kinh dị, cái kiểu "miệng thì ngọt xớt mà tâm địa rắn rết" :(( SHITTTTTTT! Đã bảo là sẽ lờ tịt những người nhạt nhẽo làm ngứa mắt mình... cũng cố lờ tịt, thậm chí có kẻ mình cũng ko thèm nhớ tên... nhưng sao mấy ng đáng thương ấy cứ lao về phía mình như thiêu thân... đúng là hại mình, hại cả người khác...:((((((((((( . Mình đã tự nói với bản thân không đc có những suy nghĩ tiêu cực về ng khác như thế. Đừng đa nghi như thế. Đừng nghĩ ai cũng xấu xa "giống mình".... Nhưng mình ko khỏi nghĩ về những ng khác đấy... là những kẻ "lợi dụng", chính vì thế mà dẫn đến cái kiểu đối xử không công bằng với bao người vô tội. Ừ thì biết là : ko có công bằng tuyệt đối ở trên tg này.... nhưng mà mình đã và vẫn luôn hướng tới sự công bằng trong mọi khía cạnh... thế mà bản thân mình luôn đối xử thiếu công bằng vs bao người.....
  Cuối cùng, xin lỗi những người mà tớ đã từng làm tổn thương. Ai đọc được entry này thì đọc, ai ko đc đọc thì kệ... lòng tự tôn của tớ vốn cao vời vợi vì thế t sẽ ko gửi cái này tới tận người cần đọc đâu. Tớ cũng ko quan tâm mấy người nghĩ gì... vì có vẻ như quen bị đối xử kiểu này rồi hay sao mà thậm chí ko giận tớ mà còn cứ xán vào tớ thế?...

   Thế đấy, viết ra cho lương tâm đỡ cắn rứt thôi... chứ mean girl vẫn luôn là mean girl...

DESCRIBING SOME FRIENDS

1.She is my best friend, also my sweet neighbour. The greatest thing i love about her is that She will never turn her back on me. She will never change into someone else. I know for sure that She will stay by my side forever. I believe her like I believe in myself.
2. She is the friend who i like the most. I'm not sure about her feeling for me. However, when going out with her, i learned a lot of interesting things. She has sense of humor and wide range of knowledge. The word "boring" never suits her.
3. She is the most caring person I've known. She is just 1 year older than me but why i feel like thousand years younger than her :)). She always cares for me and I'm really really appreciated that. I wished I had an elder sister like her (not just a classmate^^).  But it doesn't matter now, i'm happy cause i have her as my good friend
4. He is my classmate. I don't know what kind of feeling that i have for him. It's complicated. Sometime i don't see him as a man :)). He is like a girl friend for me :)). Some time i see him as my little brother :)) because he is kinda childish. Last but not least, He is really talented. That's why i like him a lot. :))
5. He is one of my friends. I chat with him almost everyday. I think we know each other so well. He's like my big brother :)). I told him a lot about my personal things and so did him. I will never lose him for any reason. U know Finding someone who always ready to listen to all of your complainings when u're upset or happy is quite hard.

This university has been really familiar to me since i was a child. I grow up with it.
My mom works here. My house is just 500 metres from this university. I spent every summer for playing in this university's yard. However, i never thought that i would apply to H.A.U until i was in final years at high school.
Now i'm an senior student. I will graduate soon and i still confuse about the future.
Actually, i already had a plan but it's just too general. T.T
Here is the plan, with FUTURE, with H.A.U, with IELTS, with FRIENDS, with A LOT OF THINGS

4. Sống dưới lòng đất

5. Kè phá hoại. Kẻ thù. Người lớn.

7. Trưởng thành

Preface: 

 Tôi từng là một đứa trẻ thích mơ mộng viển vông và đặc biệt nhạy cảm với các sự việc trong những giấc mơ. Tôi từng cho rằng những giấc mơ ấy đang cố nói với tôi những điều gì đó và tôi phải giải mã chúng.

Nhưng chẳng ai biết trước được tương lai, mọi việc cứ đột ngột xảy đến cho tôi khiến mọi thứ đảo lộn như thể không có khái niệm trọng lực. Cho đến một ngày... lại một sự bất ngờ mới... 

1. Một suy đoán không dựa trên cơ sở khoa học.

   Liệu có phải trẻ con sau khi ngủ mơ thường nhớ rõ giấc mơ của chúng hơn là những người lớn? Có những giấc mơ từ thủa bé mà tôi vẫn còn nhớ rõ như thể nó thực sự xảy ra trong thời thơ ấu của tôi. Trong khi bây giờ, là một người trưởng thành, rất đáng tiếc, tôi lại thường không nhớ gì về những giấc mơ của mình. Ngay khi vừa mở mắt tỉnh dậy, đầu óc tôi trở nên trống rỗng dù tôi biết trong lúc ngủ mình có nằm mơ về một ai đó, về một cái gì đó nhưng không nhớ được.
   Thật ra, vấn đề trẻ con và người lớn với những giấc mơ chỉ suy đoán của mình tôi, nhưng dĩ nhiên, dựa trên kinh nghiệm thực tế. Rất rõ ràng, thứ nhất, ai mà không từng là trẻ con, đương nhiên không thể không có những trải nghiệm thú vị của riêng mình. Và thứ hai, cực kì quan trọng, tôi có những nhân chứng sống. Chuyện là thế này: vào một buổi trưa hè oi ả, thời tiết nóng bức thật sự vô cùng nhớp nháp khó chịu, lũ trẻ con sau cả buổi sáng hò hét chạy nhảy náo loạn thì đã lăn quay ra ngủ trong phòng tôi. Ba dì cháu ôm nhau ngủ trên cái giường mét hai bé tí tẹo ( bọn trẻ con thì dù trời nóng như thiêu như đốt vẫn thích ôm ấp trong lúc ngủ ). Và như thường lệ, tôi có một giấc mơ có vẻ khá thú vị nhưng lại không nhớ được khi tỉnh lại. Vậy mà ngay sau khi tôi ra khỏi giường, chẳng may đá phải bọn trẻ con, lũ nhỏ đã thức giấc và bô bô kể lại giấc mơ của chúng. Khi ấy tôi đã rất ngạc nhiên, và cả ghen tị. Sau đó không lâu, một lần khác, khi ba dì cháu cùng ngủ ở ghế sau xe của ông ngoại, hai đứa cháu nhỏ của tôi đã lại tranh nhau khoe khoang về giấc mơ thú vị của chúng, còn tôi, khi được hỏi đến, đã đành phải trả lời "Dì không nhớ rõ lắm, giấc mơ của dì cũng chẳng có gì hay!". Tè Dầm - 4 tuổi- liền phán cho tôi, dì nó, một câu với cái giọng kéo dài đến cả chục giây: "Chán!". Tôi đành kể lại sự tình về nỗi lo âu phiền muộn của mình cho các nhân chứng. Buồn thế đấy... Và đó cũng không phải lần cuối cùng, không có lần cuối cùng vì chuyện đó sẽ còn tiếp diễn nên tôi đã phải đưa kết luận rằng trẻ con luôn nhớ chi tiết những gì chúng đã mơ, còn người lớn thì không chắc.



1. A guess wasn't based on scientific research
   I wonder whether children, after dreaming, usually remember their dreams better than adults. There were terrific dreams long time ago that i still bear in mind as if they really happened in my childhood while in present, I, a grown-up, sadly, usually forget all about the dream right away when waking up. Although knowing that the dream was about someone and something, I still can't remember clearer with an empty head.
    Actually, the problem of adults with dreams is my mere guess, but of course, based on practical experiences. It's very clear that all adults were once children, and they could have their own exhilarating experiences. Moreover, importantlly, I have witnesses, and here is the story: On a sultry summer afternoon, the weather was extremely hot and sticky, the kids, after all morning running around and screaming, rolled on my bed and slept. We hugged eachother and slept in my small bed (Despite the scorching day, my kids still want to be hugged while they are sleeping)

Sierra's beloved stuffs

1.BRACELET

  So beautiful, eh?
I collected a lot of bracelets when travelling around the country. n I did make some... hehe, not so beautiful but unique :))... hand made ones r always unique.

These bracelets in this photo was made by my dear friend HeaL n me.

   n some of these ones r precious girfs from my friends ^^.


Each one has its own story that i can never forget ^^.

One of the most lovely story that i 'm going to tell u guys is about the bracelet which i bought in Ho Chi Minh city. It was my first time in Ho Chi Minh city so I was really really excited about every strange things in this city. Everyone there were so kind n sweet, not like people in Hanoi. Yup, .... Because Hochiminh city's residents were nicer and more friendly than Hanoians, I couldn't be aware of danger when making friend with some nicest- people- in- the- world T.T. So stupid was I that I was cheated out of all money and cell phone. Poor me! I even couldn't remember the way to come back to my acquaintance's house.
...n when i was so scared, my hero jumped out of nowhere :))... came to help me unconditionally. Not only did he take me to my acquaintance's house safely, but he also became my best tour guide in the next day unconditionally again :x. ^^ Moreover, In the last day that I was there, he took me to the market for buying souvenirs before my flight. I greatly appreciated his kindness so that I bought two bracelets with different size and gave the big one for him. I kept the other one.... ^^. U know, the funniest thing is that he is not Hochiminh city's residents :))... He's from Hanoi, too. He is still learning Technology in Hochiminh city. :))

 All photos was taken by Sierra.

2. BOOKS

   From the past, reading already was a favourite activity when books became popular for people from all walks of life , not just for nobility. However, in recent years, with a lot of technology items like ebooks on computer n cell phone, many young people can't stand reading books which is printed. Some of my friends even don't like reading 'cause they think it's a waste of time?! They just focus on computer games and movie which don't require the imagination.

Extraordinary!

2. Members n relationships: :))
  HeaL, PTT n Sierra (me).
HeaL n Sie chan was in the same class at highschool.
PTT n Sie became friends from kindergarten.
We was in K302 Thái Thịnh drawing class from 2006.
We r beloved students of our beloved teacher Bùi Thanh Việt Hùng.




For my beloved friends:
1. HeaL: Dù niềm tin của ấy là gì, t vẫn luôn là bạn ấy. T.T. 
Dù t ko thik sự thật là ấy thay đổi niềm tin tôn giáo, dù t ko thik cách ấy phản ứng lại mọi việc lúc này, dù t ko thik cách ấy lờ đi mọi phản hồi của mọi người.... t vẫn luôn là bạn ấy. T cũng sợ là t ko đủ tư cách để đc gọi là một ng bạn tốt khi mà t chẳng thể cho ấy một lời khuyên tốt nhất.
2. PTT: Bọn mình đúng là có duyên vs nhau, từ hồi học mẫu giáo :)). 
Be best friends forever, pig! :)). Khi nào ấy về bọn mình sẽ cùng đi thu âm :)), cùng làm những việc mà ngày xưa hay làm như đi mua sách, mua đĩa... nhớ cái hồi thức khuya down raw u'rẻ beautiful thế :))... nhớ cả những lúc đi học ngồi buôn ko hết chuyện :))

BLOG knocks at your heart!

     This is not my first blog. I already had about 4-5 blogs before. The first and also greatest one was the 360 blog named B.L.A.S.T created by my two best friends and me. 'Blast' contained a lot of our beautiful memories and great efforts when we pursued our dreams and the target - the entrance exam. Following that, the next blog was my own first blog named 'Sierra'. In this blog, I recommended all of my true feelings and favourite things in art, music, movie,... Myself at that time and Myself in the present time are totally different, as if I became a stranger that I couldn't realise.

   In the past, I was really naive and cute with great ambition and beautiful dreams. I was an optimist and a dreamer. However, I satify with myself now much more than one in the past. I'm not an optimist but a responsible and proactive person. And such a lucky person am I that I still a big daydreamer :)).

    With this brand new blog, i want to mark a new step forward of process of improving myself.
