Little things #26 Go to the cinema and homemade popcorn

 #103. Go to the cinema and homemade popcorn

My friend and I went to the cinema to watch a movie. I had the idea of making popcorn myself and secretly bringing it in. And I actually did it. Mission completeed LOL.




#104. They said that she looked like me

I remember when I was in high school, some of my friends excitedly told me that an actress from a Thai movie looked like me. I felt really supprised and excited hearing that especially because she was an actress. Out of curiosity, I watched the movie, A Little Thing Called Love, which became one of the first Thai films I had ever seen.

And yes, there was a bit of similarity for real.
We both had deep brown skin that stood out among our peers. There was also that innocent side, mixed with a little “craziness” at least from other people's point of view. The kind of presence that stands out, yet feels a bit different, even slightly strange to others.

I don't remember all the details of the movie now, but I do know that I'm not completely like her. I didn't have a crush on anyone in high school, and I didn't get a happy ending as quickly as in the movie. I am on my way, though LOL

A girl likes winter. It reveals herself

I like winter. Is that so strange and weird to you? I like winter when I was just a little kid. I had no idea at that time but I did know I like the atmosphere during winter. I love we all family members gathered in the warm stove. I like how we tried to make us hot. I like to wear thick jackets, wool hat, scarf and socks. I love Christmas and Lunar New year coming soon in the winter. Having said that, I give a truly special feeling for winter season. Liking winter still exist wherever I go. I studied Bachelor in HoChiMinh City far from my hometown and there is no winter in this place. I felt there must be something missing here and it was true. I miss my hometown and miss the cool air in the winter. It's rare for me to see someone claim that their favorite season in the year is winter. I can tell winter is my favorite. I like the air, the atmosphere. I like to see all people put on their jacket and scarf in the street. Everything seems closer together than ever. A book mention abo...

Unfinished memories

Unfinished memories The sun begins the day, It shines but feels far away. The air is calm, the sky is wide, But something stirs, unsettled inside. I walk the path we used to know, where memories softly grow. Do I still cross your mind, Even if just for a little while? You chose to walk away, But I still feel you every day. I don't forget the way we cared, All the moments we shared. We once exchanged our every thought, Chatted everything without a second thought. We updated each other, day by day, We missed our voice, our smile, our way. Surrounding you felt like surrounding me, A quiet kind of intimacy. Now I must let it drift away, As if we never met that day.  Unfinished memories remain, Lingering like a gentle pain. Time moves on, and so must I, But part of me still asks why. Why did you draw so near, so fast, Only to become part of the past? Hanoi, June 22, 2025

There’s a reason behind it

Image
I've been someone who was really strict with myself, always holding high standards. But over time, I've realized that being too hard can become a barrier --- one that limits both my potential and my joy. I've learned it's better to recognize small achievements and build from them gradually and patiently. Real strength is knowing when to soften, to allow space for mistakes, for learning, for growth, and for simply being human. It's not just an ideal in theory, but a practice in reality, the ability to live it, not just imagine it. It means believing that I can still reach my goals, even if the path is slower, messier, or more gentle than I once imagined. Still, there are parts of me I will not bend, especially in love. When it comes to relationships, I carry a different kind of firmness. I'm willing to growing with someone, to learning together but I stay grounded in a few core rules: 1. It is all or nothing.  I don't do halfway. I want depth, presence, and r...
