Biennial "Once upon a time..." I think I will not start my story by "Once upon a time", because it's not a fairy tale, and although there are a boy and a girl in the story, finally they do not "live happily ever after" like the end of every fairy tales. The girl, who is a university student now, these days is watching Euro. A girl enjoying football is not weird, but the point is that she did not like football from very first place. As other girls, she thought it was so boring, and it looked like a fight between 22 people. However, everything changed ever since she has known the boy, when she must have gone to city stadium to support her high school's football team. All she knew is that he has a sweet smile. Needless to say, he loved football. He loved watching, playing, making some comments in each match. But he was very tender and cared about the girl very much. He said: "Thank you for coming to watch my matches. And supporting me". She smiled. Everything should have been great like that until the day of graduation. The girl, trying to be brave, confessed her love to the boy after the closing ceremony. He refused. He explained numerous things, but she just heard only one reason. "I love another girl, and we are going to study abroad next month together". She was heart broken. After that, they lost contact. A long time later, each year in which World Cup or Euro is held, she does not miss any match. At the same time, she misses the boy a little bit. That means, logically, she thinks about him every 2 years. Same as this year. She is not his princess, but at least she is still her dad's princess. She knows that when her dad calls her: "Be quick my dear, now is Portugal and Australia!" :) ... I say: "I'm coming" to my dad, shut down the computer, and decide to enjoy the match without thinking about him. It's time to finish the story.

Hello everyone, 

I've heard about that because the English people like drinking tea, they take pronouncing the letter "T" in consideration. 

I found this thing interesting. Can you tell me more about it? And also, is there any reliable source mentioning pronouncing "T" related to Tea in England? 

Thanks! ^^

What does the word "handsome" mean?

As far as I know, "handsome" is used to describe a man's appearance. But sometimes I see people use it to describe a woman. I don't understand much.

Can you help me explain this? Thanks ^^

Travelling Someone said: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”. I don not remember how many pages I’ve been reading in the world book, but I’m sure that the pages about Nha Trang city is unforgettable. If you asked me to return to Nha Trang, I would not demur to say “Yes”. The first attraction is its mild temperature and the pure air, which quickly eased my feelings after a long journey on train. Getting up early in the morning is the best way to enjoy the cool atmostphere and the beauty of the beach. Nha Trang beach in the sunshine looks like a sparkling diamond with soft waves and so limpid sea water that you can even see the bottom. Walking on smoothly golden sand with bare feet or sun bathing under colorful umbrellas is a fantastic experience. Moreover, Nha Trang is famous for the friendliness of people, which has become the brand of tourism here. In Nha Trang, there’re a diversity of shops selling souvernirs, clothes…and if you go into one of them not buying anything, the staffs never scold you even in the morning! Also the strangers are very helpful; I remember that a vendor showed me the way to the hotel when I got lost. And no need to say, tourists take a fancy to the food in Nha Trang too. The cuisine here is the mix of various culture in Vietnam but specializes in seafood and barbecue pork rice paper roll. You can enjoy noodles in the morning, seafood in the evening in luxury restaurants and simple nosh in the late afternoon. The secret of specialties is fish sauce which plays an important role in making relish for all foods. I couldn’t stop thinking about Nha Trang after leaving. Each time I return to this beautiful beach city, the pages about it in my world book will be more and more lively.

My new today Today I bought for myself a lipstick. It's red and has the smell of canyon @@ I wonder if I was right or wrong to buy it. Just because when I saw it, I thought immediately about the poetry: "Kiss me when my lips are still red", hehe I forgot my true friends. I chose to live on my own in a selfish way. I wanna disappear and not answer anything. It's so stupid, I know. My grandma said: "You always have to learn how to love". In my opinion, if we want to love others, we have to love ourselves first. And so I bought a red lipstick. :)
