American Foods

(@ KFC, Fullerton)
Whenever talking about American foods, people usually think about fast foods. Fast foods are not hamburgers only, but also include chicken wings, hot-dogs, sandwich, bagels, and donuts. People are easy to find them everywhere in America such as In n Out ( just in Cali), KFC, Burger King, or Denny.

In general, most of America foods have the same advantages which are easy to cook, quick to buy and convenient to eat. In my opinion, these benefits below might the causes of America food. America life is very busy and most of time spend for working, driving and studying, so people don't have enough time to cooking and making any fancy food. Therefore, sometimes I'm lazy or don't have time for cooking, I go to In n Out or KFC and togo foods easily. Moreover, most of fast foods stores are drive through, so people don't need to find parking or walk-in the store and order foods. They just stay in cars and drive around the store and get the foods quickly.

However,I think foods in America are not good for health. There are a lot of cheese, margarine or butter, so it is also a main reason why the increase dramatically the number of obesity in America. In addition, a combo of each food is very big and many meat ( beef, pork, chicken) with high calories, so if everyday people have a big food set like this, they would be in the risk list of heart problem, high calories and obesity. Therefore, everyone should be aware of American foods and should be take care more about health.

An optimist thinking

"Everything has two sides"
I want to begin this blog with the sentence below because it is my favorite quote. Whenever I have trouble, I usually say that quote to console myself. I think, live is not perfect if everything is smooth. My story can prove why I think like that.

I decided to study abroad without any help offers. I know that if I receipt any help offers, my live in the US might be smoother and easier. As you know, living in another country, special in American is not easy, so I got many troubles and has been failed in many times in my life. It seems like usually have trouble in here, but I haven't given up. I have to learn step by step how I can get over it and when I got something even it maybe not a big due with others, but it really is important for me and I know that I can do it. Therefore, I think "everything has two sides" means if we get somethings easily, we would satisfy with yourselves. You just think you are the top and don't have to patient or endeavor too much for everything. ( I used to be that person). Then, when we lose somethings, we recognize how hard to get it and how important to have it. Moreover, we can know how our abilities to handle a challenge or a trouble are. I think we can do everything if we think that we can do it. I think because of this thinking, so I'm kind of an optimist person.

My friend

Friends- people may have a lot of friends in their lives, however some of them are hard to find their best friends or close friends. I used to meet a person who said that she couldn't find a best friend even she is a good communicator and have many friends. I think I'm lucky because I have several best friends who are always stand by me, help me and encourage me whenever I need. I'm really appreciate their kindness.

I would like to introduce one of my best friends who is name Rachel. She lives in the US and study in CSUF too. Some people who know our friendship and ask how long we know each other, but they couldn't believe that we have just known for a short time. I met and knew Rachel only one year ago when we enrolled in ALP last spring semester. Although we look very close, we are totally different from behavior,thought and attitude. For example, I'm shy and afraid to talk in a place with a lot of people, while Rachel is easy to make friends and have a confident conversation with many people. However, I'm kind of reasonable person. I do everything with reason and planning clearly. Whereas, Rachel is a emotional person. She solves problem base on her emotionalism and her thinking.

Rachel said: "If I have to tell the differences between us, it will be 2 pages long list". Therefore, sometimes, we misunderstood and lack of communication because of the different points of view. However, every happiness, joys, adventure, sadness, tears, problems .... and many other things in a tough "far-away-from-home" life have been shared and sympathized from each other. That's why we can keep our good friendship and I hope that we can keep it for a long time.

Talk to Animals

Like people, animals have their emotions and thought. They just couldn't talk like people. A lot of people have dogs or cats in their houses and think that these pets seems their friends, even their children. People easy share their feelings with the animals because they might think that animals can hear but they can't talk and tell anyone - just one way.

It would be amazing if animals could talk. However, if one day the animals can talk, will people be worried about their secrets might be disclose? Once it happens, I'll ask them only 1 question:" Will you keep my secret or not? " =)) I hope that they will say "yes" because everyone always thinks and believes pets are very loyal, faithful and trustful. So, don't make people hurt! ^^

Love to be Love by You

Love to be Love by You, was sung by Marc Terenzi, is a very romantic song. I really love this song does not only because of the acoustic of this song, but also the lyric. I thought this is one of the reasons why people usually use the song for their weddings. I don't remember exactly when the first time I heard was, but it was long time ago. When I have different moods, I can feel the song in different emotions. I remember that at the Valentine's day 2 years ago, I and my ex-boyfriend couldn't have a date like other couples because he was in London at that time. Therefore, he sent me this song and a bunch of roses. He made me very surprise and happy in the V's day even without him. So, it was very sweet memory.

Moreover, the lyric has easy English words, so I can understand and sing the song."Baby, tell me how can I tell you, that I love you more than life! Show me how can I show you, that I'm blinded by your light! " That sound is truthful and likes a proposal from the man with his lover. The Valentine's day is coming, I think it is a good choice for you to send this song for your lover. Hope everyone enjoy and have a happy Valentine's day! (^-^)

Weather in South Vietnam and South Cali

In my country, especial my home town is in South of Vietnam, we don't have 4 seasons and just have 2 seasons which are dry and rain. Honestly, I don't like the weather in Vietnam because it is very humid and hot even in dry season. We usually wet with sweat and have to change many clothes a day :D. Also in the rain season, although it is cooler, the temperatures are around 20-30C (70-85F). Therefore, I usually stayed at home or just went out after sun set, and I was an inactive person.

I prefer the weather in South Cali. The weather is not too cold and too hot. At least, it's not humid and I feel very comfortable whenever I walk or work out because it doesn't make me wet with sweat and feel dirty. Moreover, when I visited in North Cali or East America in winter, the weather was very harsh. It usually has rain and snow storms, and the temperatures are very low ( sometimes under 0 C in winter). It's very hard to go anywhere and easy feel depress with that weather. That's why I like the weather in South Cali, and winter is my favorite season because ... I was born in winter, hihi. I'm full of energy and motivation in this season.
