January.
For many of us who celebrate Lunar New Year, January probably feels a bit odd — as if we had at least a month-long time to celebrate two new years in a row (or again?) — especially this year as the first day of the lunar new year takes place on the first of February. End-of-year reflections and New Year’s resolutions can feel a bit awkward — when is the end and when is the beginning? I don’t know about a month of celebration, but January reminds me of a second chance. Like la

Luck, defined.
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” We’ve heard this saying many times, but is it right? The past week got me rethinking the meaning of luck, and as much as I’m tempted to agree with the above statement because it’s been shared so widely, I disagree with how luck is defined here. When I was younger, one of the greatest fears that I had was that all my achievements in life would be viewed as luck, no matter how hard I tried — if I failed, it was my bad

Khai bút đầu xuân - Year of the Ox 2021
Mọi người năm nay đón Tết vui không? Mấy hôm trước mẹ mình bảo “Con gái viết bờ lốc bằng tiếng Anh pốt lên Phây Búc xong nó tự dịch sang tiếng Việt nhưng mà dịch không chuẩn, mẹ đọc chả hiểu gì cả” , nên năm nay mình khai bút bằng tiếng Việt để bố mẹ đọc cho dễ hiểu. Dạo này mình cứ bật đi bật lại “Đi Về Nhà” của Đen Vâu và JustaTee , nghe lời bài hát mà càng thấm sao mình may mắn quá vì đúng là “vật đổi, sao dời, nhà vẫn luôn là nhà” .
