Naomi's wedding

Came another day of marriage into which my high-school classmate has stepped. That was the first wedding ceremony that I had to attend all by myself since my bf had been out of the town for the entrance examination for the master course.

As I came to the flower gate and saw the lovely bride, she was amazed of my appearance so much that she must utter how skinny I look. Yeah, I have lost one kilo after starting the job but it is alright because my health stays as good as you may expect it to be.

Through her brief words, I could sense that no matter how long it takes, we are still good friends after all. We haven’t talked to each other for a while but dropping some short messages on facebook every now and then.

Tonight, she was stunning in the yellow gown beside her husband. I wished all the best wishes for both of them. If only I could stay longer to talk to her more, the point was I was sitting alone in a table of strangers, gradually getting bored of the noise and the atmosphere because I felt like I was left behind everything…so small…so sensitive and yeah, I’m not type of person who would know how to enjoy the loneliness unless I intend to do so.

Well, another wedding. Another urge for me to get married :)) Who knows?! Haha Honestly, I am not ready for any commitment right now, or at least, until the graduation day of my bf ^^~

For one thing, my wedding would be entirely different from any Vietnamese weddings. How weird it is to invite too many people, including strangers or so-called friends, stuffing them all in a hall, letting them look on the stage for a moment when the ceremony begins, then focusing only on food and even forgetting the reason why they are here. Having finished the last dish, they stand up and leave. What is the meaning of wedding? People just need to come, put the envelope of money into the box which means paying for the party and leave?

I imagine one day I would celebrate such a little party with a few of my best friends and our parents whose presents are wholeheartedly for the bride and the groom with wishes and lovely gifts, not money. They would express their happiness and encouragement to us and at the mid night, we would dance, sing and even me, the bride, I would be able to performance a piece of music on piano and sing a romantic song as a special gift to my husband. Whoa, how cool it would be! There is scope for imagination after attending in a wedding. Hihihi~

Anw….happy wedding, Naomi!!!

Much love,

Hal

PS: Happy the 14th monthsary to me, by the way :")

Dear diary,

Life is treating me nicely that is out of my expectation. This is exactly what I have always been yearning for since I can remember. Perhaps, due to a healthy life that I'm leading, my mind is better and I can balance between work, love and time for myself.

I am getting used to be a morning bird, waking up early in the morning to see the sun rises, preparing to go for work. At the evening, while transferring on a boat from the island where I'm working to the coast, I lay on a bench and start to read one of my favourite book. Then I have to catch the bus back home. It takes me another thirty minutes from the coast called "The Pearl Farm", though I found another interesting thing to do that is listening to either music or French audio while looking out of the window, contemplating the landscape along the way and letting my soul drifting ~

No sooner have I set my foot safely on the ground, I shall prepare to go for either yoga class or piano class. At the end of the day, I'm home, have dinner with my family and call boyfriend before the bed time ^^

It sounds peaceful, eh? Sometimes I would like to spend a little time on writing blog to pour my thoughts out, turning my sorrows into words and forgetting them later. But I've been in the best form and felt content with this life right now, so there is nothing to complain :")

That's the update of my healthy habit, healthy life!!! Congrats, Hal :*

Peace,

Hal 

Graduation 2016

I am delighted that I have eventually graduated on the 15th of September. My apology for leaving this blog too long to make it alive since I'm falling myself into the hectic life that I used to dislike.

Four years in the university. Four years in tears, pain, sorrows and of course victories in which I truly took pride. Six years of struggling to overcome any tough time about finance, family matters and even myself. At first, I supposed that I was born under a unlucky star because life always gives me lemons. However, I have gradually realized that life always gives me lemons in order to help me learn by myself how to make lemon juice and taste this life better.

Today, I am working at a well-known resort in the position of trainer, interpreter and translator. Sometimes I get worn-out and nearly intend to quit the job due to the pressure of work and even I am not really interested in it. Then, as you know, I am such an optimistic girl who would look on the bright side to see the light even in the darkness. 

I must say that I am fully more mature than before. I become calmer and take control of my mind very well. I can work very professionally without any guideline right from the beginning for my supposed-to-be manager had taken his leave before I became an official host *at my resort, we call employees and staff "hosts".

I am grateful for four years, actually six years after my graduation from my high school. From the moment I moved to HCMC for study to difficult time that I struggled to survive in an entire city with no relatives and family. From the moment I returned home and started over again my campus life to tedious days in tears for not being able to get myself used to that new life. From my hatred towards this new university, new environment and many disgusting things to the change of mindset. I will remember all of them in the corner of my heart. 

I have met with many adversities but they made me grow stronger, more mature and better for real :) In the near future, I hope that I will success, achieve my dreams and bring happiness to my beloved ones as my wish. 

Love you and congrats!!

Hal
