Origami Extreme - Part 2 !!!

Hi all, it's been awhile since the last time I posted an entry. This time I continue with my works on Origami ^^. Again, any of these models was folded by one un-cut square.

PART 2: CONVENTION

BUTTERFLY by Robert Lang, an admirable guy with a lot of bug creations.





HORSE by Anibal Voyer



UNA RATA (rat) by Eric Joisel. Since this year is a year of a mouse, I folded 2 of this and gave them to my friends here. Unfortunately, they thought my products were …dinosaurs T_T. So, in case anyone here thinks this is a dinosaur or whatever else, please understand that I was trying to make a cartoon rat :) .




TURTLE by John Montrol – the author of all the dinosaurs I did last time, remember?




UNICORN by Kamiya Satoshi – the current world Origami champion. (I will show more of his wonderful stuffs in the future). About this product, I didn’t do well, partly because of the material which was a piece of mere print paper.



CHOCOBO by Kamiya Satoshi again. Chocobo is a really famous character in the series of the game FFX.




LION 1.0 by Kamiya Satoshi. This model was really intense! I took me a while to finish this, and I feel really satisfied with it.





The lion is the last model for this time. I hope you all would enjoy this entry. I will work on the following part and post it as soon as possible. Thank you.

Saving faded ideas

There is something really interesting that I just recently realized: inspiration will be faded after awhile. Normally, all what I have been writing was something I was inspired by, no matter where or when. But recently, when my writing time was continuously invaded by many factors, I decided to write the topics down, and saved them for later. They were pretty good ideas, I believe, and I’d love to express and develop those ideas sometime.
But today, when I looked at the undone topics again, I was pretty surprised because I had no clue what to do with any of those! That was a very sad thing, as if I just had lost something interesting and worthy. So I came up with my conclusion that inspiration comes to us in a very short time, and if we are not going to do something with it, it will be gone surprisingly soon. However, the question is: why do we have to do that? It doesn’t hurt anything if you give up some random idea from nowhere, right?
Well, I believe that losing an idea does hurt anyone. Human history is thousands of years already, and therefore, countless of fantastic ideas have been made, yet people still have to make up new one in order to be successful. Since plagiarism is unaccepted and forbidden in many society, especially in the US., making up new idea becomes more and more uneasy, and consequently, new ideas become more and more valuable. To give up such a valuable thing would hurt anyone. When J. K. Rowling got some idea about a story of magic, she wrote it down immediately in a tissue, and so she got the famous Harry Potter. When Bill Gate got an idea of his own company, he gave up college in order to do that, and he became the wealthiest in the world. And when G. Washington saw the fact that his country was ill treated and needed to be independent, if he had just thought “nah, never mind!”, things would have changed extremely much.
Of course I don’t encourage anyone to give up college. (But if you believe it worth it, so go ahead. The Earth is waiting to be saved from monsters!) I also understand that there are bad ideas which would be nice if no one think about. However, as Mr. Koenen said, any idea has its own good side and bad side, and the purpose of this entry is not to argue about that. (Chelsea had to write 20 pages last year just to explain it).
When I am talking about “idea”, it includes important things such as belief or value. All of them need to be fulfilled and reinforced frequently, otherwise the will be faded. Going to church every Sunday, or studying Bible in classes, are indeed important, not only to “know God better” or whatever, but also to maintain and protect our Faith.
That’s all there is to it. It’s Valentines day today, besides loving people, let’s love our kool ideas also.…
- Hey, I got an idea! We should wear helmets and armors at Petra!
- Well…

Gió Thoảng Nơi Em

Em à, người ta đã kể cho nhau nghe bao nhiêu câu chuyện tình yêu của hòang tử và công chúa ở những nơi nào đó rất xa. Câu chuyện nào cũng thật đẹp, hoàng tử và công chúa nào cũng sống bên nhau hạnh phúc mãi mãi… 

Nhưng người ta không kể cho nhau nghe một câu chuyện, nếu như trong ấy người kị sĩ không phải là chàng hoàng tử đẹp trai, cũng chẳng thể giết con rồng nào. Khi ấy cậu ta sẽ phải rút về nơi tối tăm, chôn kín mãi tâm tư trong lòng… Nàng công chúa chẳng thể nào biết, và sẽ chẳng bao giờ biết. 

Anh làm sao hiểu được tình yêu bắt đầu từ đâu, và kết thúc như thế nào. Cuộc sống chúng ta đã quá nhiều mối tình vụt xuất hiện một cách không đáng có, rồi lại vụt đi quá ư đột ngột, để rồi lại xuất hiện bao nhiêu “nếu…thì…” trong anh. Nếu như anh đã không gặp em, thì tình cảm này đã chẳng thể có. Nếu như anh đã có thể quên được, thì nỗi day dứt trong lòng rồi cũng sẽ nguôi. Nhưng nếu như, chỉ là “nếu như” thôi, nếu như… em cũng yêu anh, và chúng ta sẽ yêu nhau mãi mãi… Khi đó, anh sẽ bước ra được khỏi bóng tối, và đến để bảo vệ em, để ôm em vào lòng. Sẽ không còn những cơn mưa ướt đẫm lòng em, hay những làn gió tuyết giày xéo tim anh. Đêm đen sẽ qua đi, và nắng ấm sẽ ngập tràn nơi đây cùng… bong bóng. Ghé vào tai em anh sẽ gọi: “công chúa bé nhỏ của anh!...” 

Em à, Valentines đến rồi kìa, người ta yêu nhau nhiều quá. Mình cũng yêu nhau đi thôi!...

Bâng quơ

Bước chầm chậm đi đến lớp như một ngày bình thường, cảm nhận từng cơn gió buốt tát vào mặt, vào mũi đến bơ người. Vô tình lại nhớ đến mưa, nhớ đến những cơn mưa như những hạt nước mắt cô đơn trút xuống, để rồi bản thân cũng muốn bật ra những làn mưa như ai. Tuyết lạnh sao cũng làm lòng tôi trống trải quá, chẳng nặng đầy tình cảm nức nở như mưa, mà khô khốc đến tàn nhẫn. Trơ trọi giữa làn tuyết rơi, đến bao giờ lòng tôi mới khô lại như băng đá này?
Love in the ice, …no more?
Thế là lại nhớ đến em. Tình cảm đã cố gạt bỏ từ lâu, vẫn còn vương lại đâu đây trong lòng. Gió lạnh cóng tôi bên ngoài, tình em quặn thắt bên trong, thì tôi sẽ lại bị cuốn đi và dày xéo…

…Biết ta chỉ là hạt bụi trong cơn gió xoay…

…biết ta mãi là một trong những người yêu em…!

(Lối Vắng – N9)

Lên mạng post một bài blog, vô tình nhìn thấy trong blog một thằng bạn, avatar em và avatar tôi đứng bên nhau– vô tình– bình thản.
Nhếch môi cười chợt nhận ra. Tết sau bao năm lại về đến, dịu dàng xuất hiện trong ánh mắt em.

A slacking student

…It was my turn to show off. I had been practicing the routine countless time already. This time, I got to fix my previous failure. The audiences would cheer for me, and screaming my name out loud. Few minutes later, the music got started. The whole body of mine shook excitedly. It was about time…
Suddenly, everything was absorbed into the dark, while a strangely familiar sound appeared. I woke up.
When such a thing happened repeatedly, sometimes I wondered if I really liked the world in which I belonged. Anyway, I tried to move my tired body to turn off the annoying alarm clock five feet away. The only thing I wanted to do at that moment was to go back to my warm bed, and to continue my “show”. I tried so hard to get rid of that thought, and went to the bathroom. I didn’t want to miss the music class again. In fact, I was practicing a very important thing from the book I recently read. It was about endurance.
I opened the door of the dorm, and the freezing air just spread allover. I had no idea that the place could be much chillier than Montana. Gotta go anyway.
The music class was in the furthest building from my dorm. There were two people walking on the street, holding each other’s hand. “Oh my, when will I have someone like that beside me?” I wondered. Well, I shouldn’t have thought anything, just walked, walked, walked…
The air was increasingly freezing. I got nothing to cover my face, so the situation was really harsh. It immediately reminded me the last time I had gone sledding in Bozeman. It was sick that I had had to stand there being frozen passively forever. Just like this time, it was even colder. Suddenly I thought: “Why do I have to do all of this? Why do I have to be in the US in the first place? My friends in Vietnam can stay and enjoy the nice and warm weather...instead of suffering in the harshly cold one – like me…”
“Oh no, what am I thinking? I am supposed not to have such thoughts ever! I am protected by God! Yeah, that’s right! I am protected. My body is being protected. I can do this…”
I couldn’t feel my chin anymore. I tried touching it, just to feel as if I was touching someone else’s.
Argh! The wind was so strong. It blew to me just like I was touched by a combination of fire beam and countless needles. Oh no, it wasn’t cold. It was …hurt!
My shoulders couldn’t move easily anymore… They were hurt also…
Ha! My left head was hurt this time. Was “hurt” a level between “cold” and “frozen”? I didn’t know. Hopefully not.
Oh, there we go! The building was right there. Just open the door, get in, and I would be fine as usual.
I made it. Thank God!…
The classroom was empty, and I collapsed. The music class was cancelled that day.
