Goodbye to love
It was a summer of 2005 about this time of the year, I was about to taste my first true love then you called me @6AM just to wake me up to hear my voice and it was the last time I heard from you.
Now we are on the separate path, you became a lonely mother. From your recent email, I came to know that phone call was a "Goodbye to love". Grow apart during these years but nothing could take away the grief from me, there were never a moment that I did not think about you and you remain a special place in my heart.
Hear the wind sing a sad old song
It knows I'm leaving you today
Please don't cry or my heart will break
When I go on my way
Goodbye my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you'll remember me
I'll never be too far
Goodbye my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams
Till I come back to you
See the stars in the skies above
They'll shine wherever I may roam
I will pray ev'ry lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home

Love and rose...
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be
loved.
Life is for loving, there is no higher in purpose in
life than to love, be loved and share that love.
Love, I fear is not something that we choose, it just
happens. And love, no matter how hard anyone
may try to deny their need, is what sustains us. It
gives us strength, purpose and reason to love. Love
wraps it’s arms around us, though yet it may still,
bring us to our knees.
It is not an easy task, love. It is something that we
each must work at. It requires patience, honesty,
compassion, trust, acceptance, forgiveness,
selflessness, commitment and time. We live
in a world that is always on the go; too busy to stop,
to take the time to hear our loved ones, lend a
hand, a shoulder, our undivided attention. Yet, love
does not flourish with out those things. Like a
garden of Rose we must tend to our love, pull
carefully away the weeds that might take from our love
the nourishment that it needs.
Happiness is only completed if it is shared with
others. ./.tv
I have a new friend, she/he loves peanuts and very patient to have her/his picture taken. Don't know if it is he or she but very cute. I took this picture at my backyard in the morning when I had my coffee. Saigon is too noisy for me, it is ok to visit. I like the nature so much. Only place near Saigon I can find peaceful is my famuly land in Long Thanh.
I was with the spoodle in family land in Long Thanh, there are a lot of mangoes, jack fruit( I love it), cashew tree, dragon fruit (thanh long), clementine...

Chieu nay mot minh (Solitude afternoon)
Co khi nguoi ta mat di mot tinh yeu, co khi nguoi ta mat di mot que huong, co khi nguoi ta mot phan doi, co khi mat ng ta di su ngay tho, co khi ng ta mat tat ca nhung ngon ngu cua nhac se thang hoa nhung dieu do.
There may be a time we lost our love, there may be a time we lost our country, there may be a time we lost a part of our life time, there may be is a time we lost our natural and there may be a time we lost everything but the language of music will sublimate these feelings.
Chiều nay một mình chiếc bóng đơn côi
Mưa rơi giọt buồn giá buốt tim tôi
Mưa rơi lạnh lùng xóa dấu chân tôi
Tình yêu bây giờ trả lại người xưa
To listen this was one of the song I used to slow dance when I was young.
I can imagine walking in the rain with a broken heart...you feel cold and lonely and no one knows that if you're crying...toi tuong tuong ra bai nhac nhu vay va toi thich no khi toi ca. You don't need to know Vietnamese to have this feeling from the song I play.
When I was in Cuba I did not know any Spanish but I loved to listen Spanish music in the bar at night in Havana specially "Besame mucho". You can hear I play an English version. I can speak English/French and Vietnamese. The only 2 words that I understand and speak very well in Spanish is "Besame Mucho" it means I love you (Besame Mucho co nghia la Anh yeu em).

Déjà vu it is real (chuyen da xay ra va dang lap lai)
Déjà vu "already seen"; also called paramnesia, from Greek παρα "para," "near" + μνήμη "mnēmē," "memory") or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain.

June 14 is Flag Day in the United States.
It has been 232 years since the Stars and Stripes was officially adopted as the nation's flag. The first Flag Act called for the flag to consist of 13 stripes, alternating red and white, and 13 stars, representing the 13 colonies, which would be white on a blue background. In 1818, the design was adapted to include a star for each state. The term "Stars and Stripes," coined by Marquis de Lafayette to describe the United States, became a common nickname for the country's flag. Later, the name "Old Glory" was used by ship captain William Driver for a flag that was presented to him as a gift and that he fought to protect.

When We Share
When we share laughter,
There's twice the fun;
When we share success,
We've surpassed what we've done.
When we share problems,
There's half the pain;
When we share tears,
A rainbow follows rain.
When we share dreams,
They become more real;
When we share secrets,
It's our hearts we reveal.
If we share a smile,
That's when our love shows;
If we share a hug,
That's when our love grows.
If we share with someone
On whom we depend,
That person is always
Family or friend.
And what draws us closer
And makes us all care,
Is not what we have,
But the things that we share.
A Am7
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Em7 Dm7 C
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
A Am7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Em7 Dm7 C
And make the best of what you've left to me
Am7 D7
Left to me, left to me
G Em
I need you like the flower needs the rain
Bm Am7 D7
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
G Em
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
Bm
You know I need you, I need you
A Am7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Em7 Dm7 C
Just knowing you were thinking of me
A Am7
And then it came that I was put to blame
Em7 Dm7 C
For every story told about me
Am7 D7
About me, about me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you ...
There's twice the fun;
When we share success,
We've surpassed what we've done.
When we share problems,
There's half the pain;
When we share tears,
A rainbow follows rain.
When we share dreams,
They become more real;
When we share secrets,
It's our hearts we reveal.
If we share a smile,
That's when our love shows;
If we share a hug,
That's when our love grows.
If we share with someone
On whom we depend,
That person is always
Family or friend.
And what draws us closer
And makes us all care,
Is not what we have,
But the things that we share.
A Am7
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Em7 Dm7 C
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
A Am7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Em7 Dm7 C
And make the best of what you've left to me
Am7 D7
Left to me, left to me

Is Love an Art?
Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Or is love a pleasant sensation, which to experience is a matter of chance, something that one "falls into" if one is lucky? This little book is based on the former premise, while undoubtedly the majority of people today believe in the latter.
Not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories, they listen to hundreds of trashy songs about love -- yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love.
This particular attitude is based in several premises which either singly or combined tend to uphold it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of one's capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable. In pursuit of this aim they follow several paths. One, which is especially used by men, is to be successful, to be as powerful and rich as the social margin of one's position permits. Another, especially used by women, is to make oneself attractive, by cultivating one's body, dress, etc. Other ways of making oneself attractive, used by both men and women, are to develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest, inoffensive. . . . what most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.
A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an object, not the problem of a faculty. People think that to love is simple, but that to find the right object to love -- or to be loved by -- is difficult. . . . to a vast extent people are in search of "romantic love," of the personal experience of love which then should lead to marriage. This concept greatly enhances the importance of the object as against the importance of the function.
The third error leading to the assumption that there is nothing to be learned about love lies in the confusion between the initial experience of "falling" in love, and the permanent state of being in love, or as we might better say, of "standing" in love. . . . people take the intensity of their infatuation, the being "crazy" about each other, for proof of the intensity of their love, while it may only prove the degree of their preceding loneliness.
This attitude -- that nothing is easier than to love -- has continued to be the prevalent idea about love in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet, which fails so regularly, as love. if this were the case with any other activity, people would be eager to know the reasons for the failure, and to learn how one could do better -- or they would give up the activity. Since the latter is impossible in the case of love, there seems to be only one adequate way to overcome the failure of love -- to examine the reasons for this failure, and to proceed to study the meaning of love.
The first step is to become aware that love is an art, just as living is an art; if we want to learn how to love we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art, say music, painting, carpentry, or the art of medicine or engineering.
Could it be that only those things are considered worthy of being learned with which one can earn money or prestige, and that love, which "only" profits the soul, but is profitless in the modern sense, is a luxury we have no right to spend much energy on?

Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.

Do you be by my side?
Love is about finding the right person, creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.
It is better to go for someone who loves you, rather than someone who you love. Is it true?
Over the years, I have discovered life is a journey, a pilgrimage, a sacred adventure. Within everyone’s inner solitude, there is that bright and warm hearth where the spirit dwells waiting to be roused. There are many paths to enlightenment, their teachings rich and varied offering wisdom and “food for thought” and everything we need for our journey to awakening lies within us. In the beginning, spirituality appears like the bud on a bloom, opening gradually, tempting us with a glimpse of its splendor and unfathomable depths. It is here we create the blueprint of our collective existence.
Each of us from time to time experience crises from different life changing events and transitions, all unpredictable moments arriving and intruding into our “well groomed” lives. We didn’t ask for this interference and we wonder why it has arrived bringing with it havoc and confusion. BUT no matter what the source, each crisis has a common bond…a threshold. A holy summons inviting us to cross a threshold involving both a leaving behind and a stepping toward.
During these times of roadblocks, dead ends and detours, we often choose to ignore that inner calling. Transformation takes an enormous amount of trust in the voice that urges us to take note. We need to pay attention and ask ourselves what is it we are being summoned to learn? Has the time arrived to push past our comfort zone and begin the slow process of transformation? Are we ready to accept responsibility for our life choices and embark on this soulful journey? Many of us have learned to be afraid of the feelings inside of ourselves. We tend to bury or ignore them. Perhaps even run from them pretending they don’t exist. We cannot deceive ourselves! Until we claim and embrace these “unwanted” pieces of our shadow, they will continue to resurface, haunting us and making their presence known, one way or another. Slow down and be in touch with your feelings. Be kind and loving to ... to touch and to be touched...

Sailing...I am flying passing high clouds, to be with you, to be free
I am sailing, I am sailing home again cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying like a bird cross the sky.
I am flying passing high clouds, to be with you, to be free.
I just recorded this song
Sailing.mp3
I came to know this song from FM radio and deeply in love when I drove from NJ to Boston in July 4 on the beautiful sunny morning, I lived in Boston before I moved to NJ so I'm still having friends there. It is 4, 5 hours drive. I love Boston but NJ is warmer in the winter and not much snow compared to Boston or Canada.
The reason is because my feeling is the same as the song's lyrics.
Such longing should cross the sky to touch your
hair and to say Good night. ./.tv

Money is not everything in this life and I want to share a story
Money is not the main objective in life but it is optional only for me anyway. I think that I wrote in my websites:
This is correct when you read this story
From $200K to $25K a year It was posted in yahoo financing section today. I often read most of the girls describe their goal is to make a lot of money after read this story I hope it will change your perspective. I think that only the happiness is forever. And good education is always staying with you. I am happy because I don't want anything else.
I learn a lot about life when reading the true story like this simply because it is real. Philosophy is help to live right. I don't go to church or Pagoda as often as I want, but I read a lot about philosophy. Philosophy is very closed to religious. Em co nghi nhu vay khong? Co nhg dam me tot cung giup minh khi tinh than minh xuong. It is important to have a cleanliness "dam me". vi du nhu dam me nhac, nghe thuat....tat ca deu la tot cho minh hien tai va tuong lai. Khg co dam me minh khg biet lam gi khi minh ranh roi va doi luc minh lam nhg dieu khong tot. It is always to "dam me" cai gi do tren doi and you will love life more. Hom qua anh xem movie va co 1 cau nhu vay: "Chung toi muon thay doi cuoc song vi chung toi khong muon thoi gian troi qua va khong lam duoc gi huu ich va cuoc song cua chung toi tro nen buon chan." Anh khong muon cuoc song nhu vay dau vi tren doi nay co nhieu dieu thu vi va thich thu de lam. Anh muon co cuoc song that y nghia va anh da tim duoc no.
I used to have a big house, a fancy car and expensive furniture but I was never happy, materials will never make you happy this is from my experience. The big house was too big and too much work for me at every weekend. I am glad that I sold it. For some reasons I never regret to sell everything and I like my life more now than then.
I also realize that I don't need anything if I live alone.
The more simple life you live the better you will become.

I used to have a big house, a fancy car and expensive furniture but I was never happy, materials will never make you happy this is from my experience. The big house was too big and too much work for me at every weekend. I am glad that I sold it. For some reasons I never regret to sell everything and I like my life more now than then.
I also realize that I don't need anything if I live alone.
Mal c'est une chanson pour le premier d' amour. First love First broken heart.
Mal means dau kho or pain or hurt. Mot tinh yeu dau doi tan vo, First love First broken heart. Cung giong nhu bai nhac Bao gio biet tuong tu cua Pham Duy.
Someone listens this song they like it but they don't understand what it means.
I knew this song when I was 10 yrs old when I attended French school. It is very old song but each time I play I feel the goose bumps do you feel this way?
Mal
Au fond du coeur
Oui j'ai mal
Mal
De la vie me fait mal
De temps en temps
Quand je regarde le soleil
Qui vole

Au fond du ciel
Je me souviens
D'un prénom qui me fait mal
D'une robe
D'un soulier de premier bal
Je me souviens
Des paroles d'une chanson
Où venaient souvent
Des mots dans les frissons
Mal
Dans une mer de corail

La couleur bleu me fait mal
De temps en temps

Time flies so fast
It is not enough time to do anything. I want do more but I am tired so I go to bed and watching movie "Revolutionary road" with Kate Winsler and Leonard Dicaprio. Kate won one Oscar: Best Actress for The Reader (2008). I also watched The Reader it is like summer 42. Giong phim VN co gai ban sach ma khong biet doc trong phim Bong Dung Muon Khoc. So sanh thi thay script cua Reader rat hay hon nhieu voi phim VN. Co ay khong biet doc khi o trong tu (prison) thi nguoi con trai doc va thu bang trong nhg bang cassettes goi vao tu cho co ay nghe.

Dao dien cua VN muon kha nen co nhg so sanh nhu vay. Co le vi vay ma film The Reader duoc nhieu Academy awards because it is based on the true story. Myself and people like to watch a true story because it happens in real life and you can learn from it. VN con co mot khuyet diem lon la loi van noi rat binh thuong khong co van chuong day la diem yeu cua phim VN.
Kate Elizabeth Winslet (born 5 October 1975) is an English actress.
My favorites: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Both have a very good background in acting.
My most likeable actor is Harrison Ford. Love knows no borders they are over 30 years different in age. Calista Flockhart is cute as always.
It is good to be crazy and insane as long as you can live in your dream - From the movie Revolutionary Road.

This is how I remember Saigon, this is Saigon when I grew up. I was in Boston when
Mr. Thieu passed away. I did not know he lived in Boston until I watched the news.
BOSTON, Sept 30 2001 (Reuters) - Nguyen Van Thieu, the penultimate president of South Vietnam, who led his nation until just days before it fell to its bitter enemy North Vietnam, died Saturday night in Boston, a hospital official said on Sunday.

US stock futures rise following overseas gains - this is my working place and I love it.
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. stock futures pointed higher Monday as data on the manufacturing industry added to hopes that the global economy may soon recover...
Associated Press Writer – 40 mins ago
SAO PAULO – A missing Air France jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris ran into lightning and strong thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean, officials said Monday. Brazil began a search mission off its northeastern coast.
Life is never perfect so live and enjoy what you have because you never know what tomorrow will bring. ./.tv
Last year there was an accident with Air France landing in Toronto Airport, Canada but there was no injuring. This time it seems all 228 people on board and the Air Bus 383 were vanished in the Atlantic ocean. This is the worst tragedy since 2001.

Everyday happiness means getting up in the morning and you can't wait to finish your breakfast. You can't wait to do your exercises. You can't wait to put on your clothes. You can't wait to get out-- and you can't wait to come home, because the soup is hot. - George BurnsI agreed with George Burns, I cannot wait to wake up in the morning to start a new day. My first thing in the morning is making a fresh cup of Trung Nguyen coffee and read the news to see how much it will effect my portfolio today. Hope the recession is over by the end of this year. I am still lost about 5% now. If you buy stocks without researching is gamble if you research carefully it is an investment. Most of people to be become super rich not because they work but because their investment like Warren Buffett. I bought stocks GE a bit cheaper then him. I lost a lot money on GE. It was my mistake because I saw Warren Buffett bought it. Everyday is an interesting day for me and I love it. I am a multi-tasking person the ADSL is not fast enough for me to do many things as I wish. To download a movie it still takes over 30 minutes during this time I cannot do anything else. I am using Linux operating system as you see I have 3 Linux and only 1 windows system for Photoshop. Linux is awesome. I rarely switch the monitor to tivi everything you can have from the internet. I may switch to tivi for a few minutes when I am in bed because I am using LCD tivi as the monitor. Internet is much more flexible you can read or watch movies anytime it is always there and ready for you. Even my telephone is connected to the internet called VoIP. Voice over internet so I can make all calls in North America for free. I want to write blog but I don't have time but trying to do it more often. I think it is good to have a diary to share with someone that you love so she knows more about you. I do have a notebook to write down what I plan to do or the things that I have to remember but blog is much more flexible to add or remove to update it.
I like to watch Charlie Rose at PBS.org and 60 minutes. Interview the second richest man in the world. Does he look like the richest man?
