Lơ ngơ Tết

By

Nhớ lại tết năm ngoái, thằng Cường và tôi ngồi nhà chị Ngọc cặm cụi ăn cái bánh chưng chị Châu mua. Nhai khó mà nuốt cũng khó, vậy nên khi chị hỏi “Có ngon không?” thì xuýt nghẹn. Mà nghĩ thấy thằng Đăng nói đúng, “có là tốt rồi”, chứ năm nay làm gì có, cho nên vẫn thấy nghẹn mà là nghẹn cái khác…
Cái thú chờ năm mới hình như cũng chẳng có. Hồi ở Việt Nam, mỗi năm lại ngồi đón giao thừa. Khi cái kim giây lết qua số 12 là tôi lại cảm thấy điều chi phi thường. Ba năm trôi qua cũng có cái ảnh hưởng của nó. Lần này đang ngồi chỗ làm chợt ngó đồng hồ rồi nghĩ, “Ờ, qua năm mới rồi.” Chả hiểu mẹ tôi nghĩ gì lại chúc năm nay “có người yêu tốt.” Chậc, người yêu thì đầy ra đấy, chỉ tiếc là của người khác…
Lại ngó lại bài blog giờ này năm ngoái viết về Orchid, và tôi lại thấy buồn buồn. Chẳng biết lúc đó là tình yêu không, hay chỉ là ngộ nhận. Mà nói ra thì, cái cậu ấy yêu người ta làm gì mà lắm thế (- dù không bằng tôi bây giờ)? Rồi hắn viết blog kiểu gì mà ngắn gọn, tình cảm thế? Chẳng bù với tôi bây giờ, viết lê thê lại còn vô ý vô tứ. Không lẽ giờ lại ngồi hát như Phương Vy, “Từ ngày anh đến bên đời em, từng ngày trôi đi thật khác”?...
Thôi thì tạm biệt Vista, và xin chào Windows 7. lol
---------------------------------
Update: Sau đó chị Ngọc có nhắn là sẽ mang bánh chưng tới :D. Nhưng đã lỡ viết xong rồi, chẳng lẽ lại viết cái khác.

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

By
How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

How to Become a Teller For Bank of America

By
I currently am working for Bank of America (BofA) as a teller, and it’s been 2 months now. A little bit about what I am, I am an international student whose first language is not English. When I graduated from college, I didn’t do any internship and had no remotely related experience to banking industry. I was full of disadvantages. BofA’s website clearly stated that they wouldn’t typically hire and sponsor F1-visa students, and, on top of everything, the economy was painfully lagging. One cannot help but wonder why in the world they would hire someone like me while millions of Americans were being unemployed. That’s why I really think that I should share my story, and that my story might be somewhat beneficial for some of you who are now reading it. The first and foremost reason was because I was interested in BofA deeply. When I was in my junior year, I was reading my Marketing textbook. The featured story of chapter 8 was about Bank of America, the history of the compa

The Ineffectiveness of English

By
I have interacted with English since kindergarten, and for the last four years I have been living in the US, using solely English for daily communications. Despite my effort of continual self-improving, I can’t quite understand the language. There have been explanations, of course, such as how it’s not my first language, how cultures and traditions get in place… Only recently, it strikes me with a more understandable reason: English is an ineffective language. There are so many disadvantages of English. First of all is the way one person talks to another. You can only use “I” and “you” no matter if the person you’re talking to is an earthworm or a high king. The same with “he”, “she”, “it”, and “they”. All the languages that I have ever associated with, which are French, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Cantonese, they have different words to address different people. I believe this should be the way to talk, since each person requires to be treated with respect, order, and
