Sea glass

It was such a beautiful and sunny day! 

The weather was so damn good despite getting hot a bit, yet it's ok.

These days, I seem to turn back to my childhood hobby: collecting the pieces of sea glass.

The pieces of sea glass are beautiful gifts from the ocean and they are from glass that was deposited into the ocean many years ago and after years of tumbling, finds their way to the shore in spectacular forms.

People say "Sea glass was said to be Mermaid Tears. She said she usually cried at least once a day not because she was sad, but the world was so beautiful and life was so short."

Today, I spent my entire morning on the beach to search sea glass and somehow the flood of memories washed through me again. I kind of missed those old days, though I surely couldn't hold anything at all.

Unfortunately, I could only find out sea glass in aqua blue and white, while my expectation was more colorful ones, especially blue.

Only white and aqua blue are good enough because they looks quite pretty for me to make jewels on my own. In fact, I love making hand-made stuffs although I'm not really good at it.

Sounds childish hak? At least, the return of my hobby is helping me out of the crises of feeling and I'm greatly obliged for the sea which means heaps and brings to me happiness no matter how much I've grown up.

Should I say out loud that I love Vietnam just because Vietnam has Nha Trang beach?! To me, this is the most beautiful beach in the world and I'm so proud of taking it as my hometown.

Hallie means "Thinking of the sea" in Greek, I've got this English name so far in order to remind me wherever I go, "the sea" here is always and forever in Nha Trang, the lovely and peaceful city with "sky blue" beach.

Love it and love the meaning of my name, too.

~ We belong to the sea

To the waves you and me

Living in the ocean so blue

We belong to the sea

Open wide, being free

A minute lasting forever with you ~
