The flower petals return...

I really don't keep in touch much with the teen Vietnamese music industry, but this song sure is a good one and somewhat got me curious... seems like a lot has changed, and the song is sort of stuck in my head now... The story of this song is kinda interesting also...

The legend is of Rang Su Tu (the stem) whose love is the beautiful Bo Cong Anh (the petals). When Summer came, all the yellow flowers in the field changed out of their yellow dresses and into a white cotton soft dress instead. Rang Su Tu admired Bo Cong Anh’s beauty and their love continued to grow.

One day, a strong and exciting third wheel by the name of “Wind” blew in and swept all the pretty little flowers off their feet. “Wind” was very charming and alluring so as he flew by playing his little tune on the flute, even the trees swayed for him in admiration.

Bo Cong Anh was no exception. When he passed by the field, Bo Cong Anh let herself go to the wind. She wanted the wind to cherish each fiber of her soft petals.

Rang Su Tu was heartbroken when Bo Cong Anh left with the wind. Out of wishful thinking, he threw his green arms out to keep Bo Cong Anh from leaving but it was too late; Bo Cong Anh had already clung to the Wind.

But Wind wasn’t the settling type because he was the son of “Adventure” and “Risk”. The peaceful field was not the place for him. Bo Cong Anh tried holding on to “Wind” but it was no use, for he kept blowing so coldly. Bo Cong Anh had no choice but to let go.

Since then, it has been told that as many farmers pass by these fields, they could hear Rang Su Tu’s whispers, asking the wind where he had blown Bo Cong Anh off to. “How is she doing at that place?” he would ask, but Wind would remain silent.

Because he could not take her on his journey forever, Bo cong Anh fell off during the journey and planted herself in the ground to “start over”. With this, Bo Cong Anh named all her offsprings after “Răng Sư Tử”.

“Trees/Stems will have flowers/petals, but they cannot keep them forever for these petals will always lean towards the wind/adventure. Wind on the other only loves the journey and cannot hold tight. Only when the wind stops blowing, do these petals realize that their origin is with the stem."

That time of the year :D!!

Yea, it is that time of the year again... Seems like my time is ticking away, hahah XD. This post seems random? I beg your pardon but whenever this day arrives, I always feel a little... weird out, hehe... Tomorrow should resume to normalcy.

footprints in the sand

I'd love to share with you a very lovely Christian poem that warms my heart: Footprints in the Sand, together with the song under the same name by one of my favorite artists: Leona Lewis.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
By: Margaret Fishback Powers

One night I dreamed a dream.
I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.

When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

Back from Christian camp...

GO LIGHT YOUR WORLD
by: Chris Rice



I just got back from Christian camp in Iowa around two days ago... This song really moved me when I was there. There was quite a lot of mishaps and troubles but thank God we dealt with it in the best spirit possible... Strangely, I felt that it was the quickest two-day camp ever. Hm... don't know what else to say, so I hope you like the song.

Trying out Taco :)

Taco!! Made this for my mom since she never tried it before. Quite easy and tasty, though it's not my fav. Mexican food.
That'll be it for this post. Strange, I don't feel like talking much today, plus I have so much to do, ahhh ..(> T ^ T )>.,,

I'm just a traveler in this world...

WAYFARING STRANGER
By: Selah

Please welcome our newest family members:

The fishies!!! I got these beauties several days ago and am busy keeping them alive, ha ha ha... *cruel laughter* or more like *cynical laughter*... I don't know, but taking care of pet or things in general does make one more responsible, or stressful :D. Okay, the thing here is... I don't know the rules of taking care of fishies. A friend pulled me into keeping them as pets, and I was like... 'sure, it sounds fun'. Three days later, one of the fishies crossed over to the other land and I was just... dumbstruck, not knowing what to do. I had to go to work early on that day and the fish just laid there, eye poked out, refusing to move. My heart ached, man... and was so heavy with guilt. I had to put him (or her, I don't know T___T) into the fridge and prepared his funeral later when I got off work. My evil brother even asked me when I will fry the poor soul, that just broke my heart, hic... I love these fishies though... they make our dining table more lively. My dad now goes home after work and the first thing he does is to look for these cuties :D. And there's this very cute story about my mom, hehe... One night our house just got so hot (thanks to the AC breaking down, another old story) and my mom turned on the fan, which is just directly above the fishies. A minute later, she came running over to a sleeping me in the living room (yes, I do sleep on the couch in the living room 'occasionally', no scractch that, make it 'very often') and asked in that panic whisper: 'An, will the fishies be okay? Oh, I'm kinda worry...' haha, that was just.... soooo... cute of my mom. She was worried about the fishies because she turned on the fan? haha... that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside for some odd reason ^^. So now... I'm trying hard to just keep them alive... sounds very morbid but hey, at least two of them are still swimming happily in the tank and everybody in the family loves them and waits for them to grow big to... whatever, whatever... not eating them of course, or... I don't know... it's almost 1:30 am here so my mind is rather frantic. Don't take my words too seriously :D.




Last Friday was fun ^^v. Be' Mam invited me to join her birthday party in the park. This time around I decided to make something to keep her office desk less lonely. So I crocheted a clueless Cactus dork who likes to stick to other people's business (hence his note reminder self!) and a spilled Mocha cup dude whose only hobby is to sit around and let people sip on him -__-; Yea, they suck major ball but uhm, I tried 0.o;a and I'll try harder next time, hahaha :D:D.



Last but not least, I just wanted to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mothers in the world!!! And especially to my very dear lovely mother, I LOVE YOU LOTS AND LOTS <3333 (I know she won't be reading this, but I really just wanted to say that :D). Got something special special for her too, heheh :D... I hope you all have a good mother's day with your moms. Treasure your mothers, for you're extremely lucky to still have her by your side until this day. I thank the Lord everyday for my mom and family and friends. To still have someone to care for and say I love you is one of the greatest blessings ever. Have a wonderful day!!!!!!
