A hard, cold rain doesn’t mean it’s time for sadness Yesterday, when the sun was inch by inch laying down on his horizon bed, there was a rain sneaking in. The nice autumn weather – a little bit of cold, a little bit of sunlight and the light breeze – suddenly got interrupted by a really heavy rain.

A Little Of Happiness Each Day
My happiness today is simply the glowing red sun setting down on the horizon when I’m on my way to pick up my little sunshine. The autumn sun always leaves earlier. And around one month from now, I guess I won’t be able to catch up with the sunset to say him Good night!

Winter
So I think I’m going to fall for winter. Although I am weak against the cold and I prefer summer heat, I think winter has its own charm too. I’m totally occupied by the sweet enchanting irresistible flowers perfume from the roses, especially the night-blooming jasmine and the mock lemon. If there is a reason to love winter, for me it will be both a deep black clear sky night with the stars AND the scent of the night blooming flowers.

Autumn’s Memories
“Autumn’s the mellow time” – William Allingham September comes. So does Autumn. It was a day with the cool breeze, honey-like sun beams dazzling our eyes but not irritating. The weather is nice like a gentleman. And Hanoi is the shy girl gently shivers in the cold of autumn knowing it has come. Among the 4 seasons, I love Autumn the most. Next one shall be Winter. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in the heart of Autumn itself. I always feel like Autumn understands the me inside better than any other seasons. There’s lonesome. There are fading away leaves. There’s the absolute peace of mind that Autumn…

Oh My My My
I believe that Taylor Swift is not only one of the best song writers out there but also she’s an amazing storyteller. I fell in love with Taylor not because of a catchy rhythm but because of the natural emotional flows in every of her songs.

Skyflowers
Skyflower is a popular type of flower back then in the countryside. It is a very gentle violet color. A color of the past. The color today leads me through the memories and takes me back to my childhood… …to see the brick fence covered by the violet color of skyflowers. I would pick some small branches and carefully pluck all the little flowers down to make necklace, bracelet, anklet or earrings with them.

Autumn – Scorpio Season
Autumn, my favorite season is here. The air. The wind. The sunlight. The breeze with the scent of roasted green rice joined with lotus leaf. The beat of rice pounder early in the morning like it’s telling its life story to my ear when I’m half dreaming. The nostalgic feel that wakes the little girl in me who was running barefoot under the honey-like autumn’s light on the village’s dirt road covered in golden rice straws.

What You Want vs. What You Need
We all want many things. But actually, we need very few of them. I bet you know this. But the temptation of things we want to have in our life is so great that most of the time we’re willing to fall into the trap. Then when looking back, we’re broke.

Love Is All You Need
Well, it sounds unnecessarily romantic but honestly, it’s so darn true. You can do anything, with love. Just put a heart in it. I’ve been seeing it with my own eyes – from the spouses as well as couples around me – coming in each other’s fate with a true love.

Book Review: “Sputnik Sweetheart” By Haruki Murakami
This is not the first time I read books by Haruki, but like always, after closing the book I can’t stop imagining and questioning myself the myths depicted in his stories. There’s always a feeling that Haruki puts his characters behind a very thin curtain – enough to see but not enough to understand. The world by Haruki is also so strange – sometimes, weird – that I don’t understand fully the philosophy he wrote. That sure is an uneasy feeling after accompanying with the character from the first chapter to the end.
