<p>Hồi đó được dạy còn trẻ phải tranh thủ, trai rủ đi chơi, trai cho quà thì nhận vì càng già trai càng ít mời đi ăn, ít tặng quà. Thành ra tuổi này auto nghĩ được mời đi ăn, đi xập xình, gửi hoa bánh tới văn phòng vầy cũng là nhiều hơn lẽ [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I am obsessed with Christmas. Christmas in me means counting every day in Melbourne to check up Myer’s windows; watched people to decorate Town Hall; run back to Dymocks, breathed the smell of books, touched the wrapping papers just to sense Christmas is just around the corner. You know it is time when Mariah Carey [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It used to mean something along the line with Valentines, Christmas etc, until… you are getting older. Many great concepts were actually a result of huge marketing campaign. It is weird to start off this way, but I reckon as an older, one of the best lesson that you could learn is recognizing the “real” [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Lots of thing happen in life and I reckon I have not appreciated enough. The family background, the education, the working environment I have for the last 15 years.I used to complain non-stop when shit loads of things are such a common sense but no longer common these days. Until I reckon, not every one [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Tháng 10 lúc nào cũng là tháng yêu thích nhất của mình. Mỗi lần về tháng 10 về, mình có nhiều cảm xúc dạt dào lắm. Tháng 10 năm nay, mình nghĩ về những mối tình 10 năm. Cuộc đời cho mình may mắn có cơ hội rất nhiều mối tình 10 năm. Mình có [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Many Viet women are taught to cook before getting married because it is a must, otherwise no one wants to get married to you.Many Viet women is required “to sacrify” in order to be labeled “good woman”.Many Viet women should not receive gifts/ $$$ as it means you are not independent enough. At 27, I [&hellip;]</p>

<p>2016, it was butterflies in the stomach to love someone. I reckon, I was so insecure to seek attention. I was constantly worried that I was not good enough to be loved, to be treated right.These days, I heard thousands of stories about women. It made me wonder whether we &#8211; all decent people market [&hellip;]</p>

<p>She is always one of my favorite female comedian. It is rare to see the combination of a very wild on stage version vs a typical domestic Chinese-Vietnamese in real life. I remembered sitting with Dr. Lai at Layla &#8211; D1 when he broke the news on Ali Wong’s divorce. For someone has been watching [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As bilingual person, I find “human” is such an interesting term in Vietnamese, there are two part of it, you are a human but yet an animal. Someone once said “every idol/ hero in your life had started as a human first”. This mindset takes off the weight both on living perfect and expectation on [&hellip;]</p>

<p>You could rarely find the same combination of yellow/ brown tone, thus, every sunset is unique. I remember we watched sunset from the Beaumaris coast. Somehow, that afternoon sticked with me for so long, no matter how many sunsets that I have watched, no matter how people came and left in life.As life went by, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I remembered when I first came back Vietnam, as a 27, first thing I was taught getting married quicker. The biological clock is ticking. The older you are, the less guys offering things to you: gifts, trips, etc. Your chance is slimmer basically.Throughout the time, I was taught that if you ended thing with someone, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Mọi người hay nói, muốn làm giàu đừng vào đời bằng Giáo dục. Gần chục năm trước, mình nhớ bắt cái ghế ngồi ở Cultured Salad ngồi nói chuyện giáo dục. Mình khăng khăng cãi boss sao mấy đứa nó không lo học hành đi, sao phải hành động rẻ kỳ vậy. Hồi đó, còn [&hellip;]</p>

<p>WHEN I HEARD oversea VNese coming back Vietnam and complained about overprice thing..2015-2018: I used to constantly complained about it. I started to convert things to AUD, reckon everything seems way too expensive for average salary. I used my old measure to judge people life.2024: after 7 years getting back to this life, I bragged [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I did not often to write about an ex on social media. I learn to respect their privacy. More over, their fame have never been the first priority in dating (at least for me). Many people that I spent hours being silly and didnt know that they are leaders in their field……..until years later (It [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Look, who is in town!!!My Mel experiences would never be the same if these two did not give me lot of loves/ cares as their daughter throughout the years.It was 25 of December, you have “a home” to be back while living thousands miles apart from family. A full of boxes of home cook food [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Just like an old day in Mel…Life caught up, hard to find time sitting together but once we sit, there was many hours straight.You know you reach another stage of life when after an opening, there is heaps of stories between us, but….as the back story of management. We once complained our bosses talking a [&hellip;]</p>

<p>.I once strongly believed that you was born alone, you die alone. No matter how many people meet up, that you would always start and end this life cycle on your own. This sharped my mindset for a very long time and certainly did not fit the mass, especially in Asian culture, in which the [&hellip;]</p>

Can I pay you in separate? You know me as a single mom, I do need to save each cent for him. But I also know that you using your own...

<p>Ngày xưa quen không bao giờ hỏi người yêu làm gì, nên tới bây giờ thiệt sự vẫn không biết trai làm ở đâu. Chia tay không yêu nữa thì trả dép bố về. Cái tính trả treo là nết đó giờ, Bồ bịch hay bạn bè cũng cương y zị. Thành ra giờ tỉnh [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I was born for… small size company I get used to live in small community, which I know people’s stories. Like a coffee shop I once worked in Melbourne, people come there every morning. It is when I learnt people’s habits. I know how many cups they use, how many sugars they may put. The [&hellip;]</p>
