the well

bởi vì bàn tay run
và cần một cái siết chặt

nhưng khoảng không vô hình
vô tình, làm tôi
chới với

vậy thì,
hãy tạm biệt những thiên thần...









trước khi chạm vào lòng giếng.

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


because hands are trembling
and need a 'hold'-tightly


but un-seen void
in callous and unintentional,
pull me,
fall.


if so,
remember to tell the angels: 'goodbye'










before touching the well's soul.

Pieces

Nếu như,
có thể
xếp lại những ước muốn vụn vặt
những đam mê thường ngày

và đi thật xa...

thương, nhớ và quên
để là đủ cho một tình yêu.

bao giờ mưa trở rét?
hay nắng lại sắp lên
tôi lại chỉ quẩn quanh
những điều đã vụn.

-----------------------------------

If,
perhaps,
wishes could be folded
habits could be forgotten

and a journey could begin
somewhere, far...

love ends like a memory
i say: 'beautiful'.

whenever rain becomes winter
or sun rises earlier than usual
i wander around pieced, pieces
once upon again...

My Learning Process

He is handsome. He is cool. He is awesome. He taught me simple yet meaningful things in life and the life-of-a-designer. They are interesting, funny, yet they are not a joke and you gotta think about it at the end of the day.
I love Stefan Sagmeister. ^^



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

Helping other people helps me.

Having guts always works out for me.

Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.

Starting a charity is surprisingly easy.

Being not truthful works against me.

Everything I do always comes back to me.

Assuming is stifling.

Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.

Over time I get used to everything and start taking for granted.

Money does not make me happy.

Travelling alone is helpful for a new perspective in life.

Keeping a diary supports personal development.

Trying to look good limits my life.

Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.

Worrying solves nothing.

Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.

Actually doing the things I set out to do increases my overall level of satisfaction.

Everybody thinks they are right.

Low expectations are a good strategy.

Whatever I want to explore professionally, its best to try it out for myself first.

Everybody who is honest is interesting.

A Woman Young and Old

If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror to mirror
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
-William Butler Yeats

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

Nature is not always kind, and society now is even less so.
If one's pursuit of happiness is a desire for a better outlook-
and so change a destiny.
i think even plastic surgery is nothing wrong.
isn't it natural to wish for social's acceptance?
we are all tied to some.

a memory foreword

I believe little things make life beautiful
and CYX is one of those.

dear memories,

i miss part of my life

sleepless nights.

again, i found myself
wandering
in chaotic and conflicting dreams.

a happiness is undefinable.
