Fall begins - Autumn leaves

Summer ending and fall begins, when I came back from VNam on early Spring and now it is fall, time flies so fast. Be seeing the seasons change, the autumn leaves that remind me of many things undone. Co gang len. Bgio toi moi biet the nao la doi song tiem sinh va hieu dc nhg bai nhac noi ve cam nhan cua mua Thu. Nhung dan chim bay ve phia Nam de tam tru cho qua mua Dong chi con lai nhg cap ngong lang thang nay con muon neu keo mua he them nua chua muon bay di.

Ta ngắt đi một cụm hoa thạch thảo
Em nhớ cho: Mùa Thu đã chết rồi !
Mùa Thu đã chết, em nhớ cho
Mùa Thu đã chết, em nhớ cho
Mùa Thu đã chết, đã chết rồi. Em nhớ cho !











The changing leaves of autumn colored brightly red and gold,
Also bring a warning of the coming winter cold.
As the wind is changing from the milder summer breeze,
You can feel the difference as it echoes through the trees.

As I shuffle down the path leading through the park,
As the days grow shorter now and soon it will be dark.
I realize that life is like the seasons we live through,
Life is like the changing seasons always changing too.

Basking in the warmth of life in the summer sun,
Never giving thought to when these summer days are done.
But before we realize the cold wind starts to blow,
And our basking summer sun turns colder with the snow.

Only then we realize that life has changed so fast,
Only then we realize that nothing ever lasts.
Life goes through the seasons as the years accumulate,
Many times we long for summer when it is too late.

Life is meant for living and enjoying each new day,
Life is meant for loving those you meet along the way.
Never spend your summer years just basking in the sun,
Unless each minute that you spend is with a special one.

People need each other to enjoy the trip through life,
A very special partner or a husband or a wife.
Alone you can enjoy the beauty that is everywhere,
But there is a special meaning when with someone you can share.

Life is like a changing tree with brightly colored leaves,
Your family and your friends and you can be compared to these.
In autumn when the leaves start changing colors, they will fall,
One by one until the branches have released them all.

If I be like a changing leaf among one of life's trees,
And all my friends and family were also such as these.
And autumn was not just for me as counted from my birth,
But autumn season spoken here was for the entire earth.

Then are we in the autumn season foretold from the past?
Could the colored leaves now falling be the very last?
Are the signs and wonders now upon us really true?
Or will there be another spring when all things will be new?

I as a single leaf will someday have my time to leave,
As those who went before me leaving me to sometime grieve.
But someday in that final autumn at the final call,
Should I still be clinging there when all the leaves will fall.

I only want to realize that in this autumn season,
I had a purpose in this would and my life had a reason.
To live and love and enjoy life for all that it is worth,
But only if the lives I've touched had meaning and a purpose.

No one knows whose life they touch or who they will embrace,
Just by actions that they do or being face to face.
But your life will be noticed as the brightly colored trees,
As either brilliant beauty or a pile of dried up leaves.

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Mua thu la bay qua khung cua so
La roi rung du mau vang va do
Anh nho lai nu hon cua mua he
Nhg lang chay ma toi thuong nam
Tu ngay em ra di ngay tro nen dai hon
Va som den anh chi con nghe nhg bai ve mua Dong
Anh nho em nhieu nhat ng yeu oi
Khi nhin thay la vang mua thu roi rung

C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis

Sometimes it is really hard to choose

In the movie "Bandits". two men love the same woman and when one asked please choose either one of us. She replied that I could not choose either one of you because both of you become a perfect man. Finally they crossed to Mexico after robbed the bank in California. At the end of the movie, she was standing between 2 guys and gave each of them a kiss.
Is it possible to love 2 people at the same time because together they make a perfect match and sometimes it is hard to choose one from the other.


Few years ago it happened to me and I decided to walk away because it is so painful and selfish to be happy with one and let the other suffer. It will be best to me three of us all suffer. But then someone told me that it is better to break one heart then three hearts. Time has passed they married and I am still standing here. Vay ma toi tuong tinh yeu la vinh cuu. Tinh yeu chi tuong doi ko co tuyet doi chi tuyet doi o mot thoi diem nao do vi con nguoi thay doi. Luc do toi uoc gi co thang de bat len de hoi ong troi that kho so vo cung. Torn between two lovers feel like a fool. Rat dung. Nghe nhg loi moi hieu va cam thong. It does happen.

One of my favorite is Legends of the Fall, 3 brothers love the same woman - Susannah. Susannah fell for the youngest brother (Brad Pitt) and he was a wild one. The oldest brother told: I have followed all the rules God and Man and you don't follow any rules but then you have all the love from the father(Anthony Hopkins) your wife and Susannah's love. The scenery of this movie is very peaceful.

One for a while you can get a lot of things done in one day and ended with a good movie. Finished everything around 8 am and had "banh cuong" and watching a good movie. Friday is always good to me. Perfect Friday. It is a TGIF.

Sunday morning


Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there's something out there you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at — something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today.
- Whit Hobbs
Your thoughts during the first half-hour of the morning will greatly influence the entire day. You may not realize this, but it is nevertheless a fact. I wish one day you will be here so we can take the walk in the morning I don't know what the future will bring but I think at least it will be good and you will love it here. The weather is getting a bit cold in the morning a few weeks fall will start and I wanted to have these pictures for this summer.

Saturday morning.

“It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.”
“It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.”
For me, the best to get things done is in the morning. Last night I tried to fix the website and I spent 2, 3 hours...buon ngu qua cang lam cang roi ram ngu mot giac sang day chi mat 1 tieng va trang web chay. Dung la "It will look better in the morning" Buoi sang la buoi quan trong nhat trong ngay lam ta cam tuong dc mot ngay lam dc gi hay ko yeu doi hay ko?

Also, accepting the good thing and the bad thing and enjoy what you currently have. Some pictures of my weekend.

A morning run - mot buoi sang that tuyet voi....

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 Burns.
