Be positive!


Yesterday was not supposed to be a good day, though my brain seems to work magically in recent times somehow. It merely stores what makes me feel good and grateful while automatically erase something not nice immediately. Most may ask me if my life is running smoothly because they always see me in a positive state of mind. Truth to be told, nobody leads an ideal life but they are the ones who choose how their lives would become. 

Sometimes, I am often bothered by beautiful memories. When I realise that they are no longer with me, it is just painful and I desire to turn back the time for once and to experience those feelings again. The best way to overcome with acute nostalgia for my memorable days is gathering my best hopes for the better and more beautiful future. Hence, I must prepare from today, at the right moment to have more lovely things to store as I cannot pull anything back from the past. The future is waving at me and waiting for me to build. If I just stand still, looking back to what has gone, my whole future would not be able to brighter because of me. I refuse to move on, so better future refuses to see me :)

I learnt how to release what does not deserve me. I only reflect on myself once it is actually my fault and I should change myself to improve. Honestly, I do appreciate my line manager for his patience in hope of contributing to my writing skill. He has his American informal writing style while I stick to formal writing style lol That causes the difference but he is right about this point. However, if someone means to offend me, I just forget immediately because my brain automatically does not save it.

How to describe my life at the present? I am surrounded by kind people and very grateful for what I have. Actually, there are not nice problems, but I chose to release those negative thoughts. You know, we are like a magnet to attract what you want to keep in your circle of relationships. I practise a million times and now it works magically.

I do not possess any special tip but focus on what makes me feel good. I am extremely busy being happy and joyful. Thus, I have no time for dramas and those who may have negative influence on me at all. One more thing, I stopped listening to sad songs and reading heart-breaking romantic novels. It sounds not like me but it is true. I’d rather choose books which inspire me to upgrade my life, make me sympathize with others in worse living conditions and be grateful for what I have so far in this life.

I am not perfect but I figure that my life is full of positivity. It is blessing!

Love,

Hal

Mom's birthday


Hi diary,

Today was my mom's birthday. Although I sent her a long cheesy message to show my big love towards her, I still want to write something here on this day to remember.

We are separated at the moment because I chose to live here and develop myself in an entire strange city without any relatives or family members. However, thanks to this fact, I have learnt how to stand on my own feet, how to overcome obstacles in my life and especially, how to be a stronger and more mature person to become the better version of me.

My mom went to a pagoda tonight. As usual, she always thought of me and prayed for my health, success and happiness in Saigon. She even forgot her birthday already. I must admit that she must be the one who unconditionally loves me and sacrifices all of her life without thinking a little bit for her sake. As long as I am in a good condition, that makes her smile and happy.

Today years ago, she was born on this Earth and destined to have me as her daughter. I'm blessed to be born in the family, to be her child and to be loved unconditionally. Even if my mom is absolutely not perfect as other moms would be, but her love for me is perfect and I'm proud to have such a mother like her.

I wish her all the best wishes in the world.

Happy birthday, Mom! Thank you for 9 months suffering to give birth to me and for nearly 26 years to love and care for me always. I love you.

Hal
