Too young to die


I started to know Amy Winehouse because she has a lot of statues and her style music sounds like Spanish-Cuba/Jazz. This is the case of bad "dam me".

I Only Want to Be With You

Watched this movie again on the weekend. "heh, what is your name, Cam I borrow you 2 bucks and give me your phone number so I can come to see you and return your money... How do you succeed? because you said "Just do it"...Yes, Love offers tender and true."

I don't know what it is
That makes me love you so
I only know I never wanna let you go
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now, listen, honey
I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey
I don't care
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

[Instrumental Interlude]

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I feel into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance

Now hear this, honey
I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey
I don't care
'Cos you started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said, all I, all I want to do
I only want to be with you

What A Wonderful World


I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Happy weekend. Finished reversed engineer for BIOS to enable the VT bit for my processor, a bit job for both hardware and software, but feel great to see it is working. Happiness is looking forward to do a good thing for yourself or people you love or...

How Can I Tell Her

We will be happy if we make our life simple.

She knows when I am lonesome
She cries when i am sad

She's up in the good times
She's down in the bad
Whenever I am discouraged
She knows what to do

But girl...
She doesn't know about you

I can tell her my troubles
She makes them all seem right

I can make up excuses
Not to hold her at night
We can talk about tomorrow
I'll her things i wanna do

But girl...
How can I tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Every things seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

How can I tell her I don't miss her
Whenever I am away
How can I say it's you I think of
Every single night and day
But when is it easy
Telling someone the truth
Oh girl, help me tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

The formula of happiness


I am always looking for waking up in the morning to drink a fresh coffee of Trung Nguyen with the fresh milk in the backyard and as always she (the cat) looks at me. Sang nao anh thuc day tap the duc uong cafe xong o phia sau nha trong vuon con meo hang som nay den nhin anh va doi khi con meo nay co xat vao anh nhung muon duoc nan niu - happiness is to love and to be loved and to touch and to be touched. I think even the cat wants to have that feeling. She is not my cat but my neighbor's cat but she comes to visit me every morning in the summer. Happiness is the action of looking forward something to happen to fulfill ...but
Psychologists have now come up with a formula for happiness:
Pleasure + engagement + meaning = happiness.

- First, they suggest we need to be really engaged and engrossed in what we do. In the jargon it is called "flow". We have all experienced it. It is that feeling we get when we just do not even bother to look at the clock because we are so into what we are doing.

- Second, positive psychologists suggest we need meaning in our lives.
We can get this from doing an interesting job, or working on a project we really believe in, or by doing something worthwhile. While we adapt quickly to more money and material possessions, it seems we adapt less quickly, if at all, to meaningful things.

However, this simple formula hides a number of important issues.
It turns out you can have too much engagement and it does not necessarily lead to more happiness. For example, you can become engrossed in work and become a workaholic and less happy.

You can experience flow in gambling but it will not necessarily make you happy.
The formula is not exhaustive or comprehensive.

Pigs lay in the mud and do nothing, it is meaningless.

Breakfast at Wimbledon - my weekend

This is one of my habit is watching Wimbledon and US Open Tennis. Sang hom nay thuc day log vao computer moi biet rang Breakfast at Wimbledon for men final tennis. Tuyet voi buoi sang thuc day tre va anh mo co giac mo that dep la trung ve so 4.2 tr chia ra lam 4 nguoi ban cung mua. I dreamt about winning lotto about 4.2 mil and divide by 4 friends. It is awesome morning. This is kind of odd because I don't think about winning lotto, I hope it is an auspice. But on Friday I did sold some stocks from my portfolio because I predict that the future economy is not that great because the debt ceiling in US is due date on Aug 2. So I sold stocks on Friday before the holiday long weekend. Friday is my lucky day so most of my decisions happen on Friday. I am afraid that the economy could halt or collapse like in 2008. I put my note on my monitor to sell them all when the the time is right. But now the cash is not good either because the US currency value has been trailed low. It is bad, we are in an uncertain world now. Money to me, it is just numbers but it is nice to have these numbers to help anyone that you like and you don't have to worry about it.

Free time I like to go to swimming, play tennis, watch tennis that are the only sports that I like beside I like to play my guitar, cooking, listen to music, design the best websites...I have a lot of "dam me", recently I don't have time to do the things that I like, this is why I haven't written my blog as often as I wanted.

Wimbledon – Pressure as a privilege

Billy Jean King once made a comment on the stresses and strains of tennis in which she remarked that “pressure is a privilege”
Rat dung con nguoi cang hoan hao hon neu co co ap luc neu ko con ap luc thi ko con gi thich thu. Ap luc la mot dac an. Vi vay khi lam viec met nhoc hay gi do la mot vinh du.
We can do a higher thing if our basic needs is fulfilled because we don't have to worry about a small thing. Some places in the world people cannot do a big thing because they're worry and wondering about their next meal.

Everyone has their own haven my haven is acting. Morgan Freeman

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
