I had an early graduation on June 11th. Still have 1 one quarter to go but school just holds graduation ceremony once a year so I gone through this one a little bit early.

Graduation, the rite of passage. It marks a milestone in my life, a turn from school to work. I had to thanks millions to Dr. Mike who I hold in a high respect. He is our school president, a great leader but have a very solf and warm heart. I feel like a father-daughterhood between I and he. I feel blessed that I got to know him.

Graduation, the day to celebrate, the day acknowlege my achievements. I'm pround of myself :), lots of hard work, lots of sacrifice, sadness, stress....has been traded off for this acomplishment, this happiness, this glory...although this is not the final....but this achivement will open the door for the continuing journey.

graduation, I saw moms and dads, sons and daugters they are all happy to celebrate. deep inside I felt a bit lonely. I did not sing the song "lonely, Im so lonely, I have nobody..oh oh oh..." of Akon. :). My family is far a way, they can not present physically here with me, but I know our hearts are never far from each other. I know how to manage emotions throug time. :)

It is still a long way to go.........

....................

Beautiful yellow flower fields, out of trolley’s windows where she’s sitting, letting her mind to wander, breathing in morning fresh air, breath out all anti-good day stuffs, “a new day has come”.....

It is flower up hill. It’s flowers down hill. How beautiful they are! “thank you for making my day”.....

A thought plash in her mind every time she see something that make her happy, ‘mom and sisters would also be happy to see this…”. Her neighbors and friends back in Vn said “you’re lucky to be in the US, a great chance”. Is she? There is no yes or no answer for this. So far … it’s all experiences… and she believe that all those experiences make a new herself (hopefully it is a better version, no bug :), who is gonna be tester :)....

I believe that it is important to have a positive attitude in the morning which will lighten your whole day.

Every day when we wake up, the very first thing to do is to look at yourself in the mirror and ask 'What is my attitude toward life today?" and the answer is "positive as usual".

My morning is time to make up, perfect smile and make sure I have a positive attitude running inside :). Sometimes i fail to have it but at least I'm always putting in some effort to get it.

 I saw an amazing positive attitude in life. Christ a  guitarist, song composer, a customer  and a friend of mine....Christ patronizes our place as a customer regularly.

he's used to be a business owner. He got a car accident about over 10 years ago which resulted in his serious health problem. Hospital became his house over 1 year. I never ask him too detailed about his health problem, I just dont wanna retouch his wounds. Christ told me about his life after the car crash, he is still alive but definitely his body can not function as a normal person. He is living with joy, hope and a great positive attitude. He plays guitar, compose music, perform music in musiums, parks...he finds the meaning of life in everything he does.

Life always has its obstacles, be prepared to avoid or jump over them. if you fail, so what? stand up and go on with a smile. It is said "Failure is the tuition pay for success".

Keep a good attitude!!!!!
