if i love You
(thickness means
worlds inhabited by roamingly
stern bright faeries

if you love
me) distance is mind carefully
luminous with innumerable gnomes
Of complete dream

if we love each (shyly)
other, what clouds do or Silently
Flowers resembles beauty
less than our breathing


-ee cummings

The project that was turned in this morning was one fabulous work, done by me! I am so proud of myself. Ai cũng thích cái project and it came out very nicely presented. Cả division, ai cũng thích.  Sau cái event, họ lại congrats mình và vỗ vai said I did a good job.

Sáng nay đang đứng ngoài hiên vì hông biết thằng mắc ôn nào set cái fire alarm off . Trời vừa mưa vừa lạnh … đang đứng rung rung um cái dù thì ông bạn trong department khác qua hỏi thăm . Mình phải xin lỗi him. He rủ đi ăn lunch chung 1 tháng rưỡi nay mà mình có đi đâu . Lý do rất đơn giản: mới niền răng, ăn không được  He nói “Tell you the truth, you look good with braces” Bộ ai niền cũng xí lắm sao  bà ST nhìn cute thí mồ lun á.  Anyway, sau đó he đứng xít lại gần đòi chụp hình với mình … cha nì lợi dụng phát ớn .

Hôm qua trên đường đi xuống thang máy, mình chit chat and joke cho vui với bà lạ quắc, sau đó bả nói: “Thank you for being yourself. You’re the only person on this campus who has a personality. It is nice to see someone like you.” She made my yesterday and today!

Orthodontist nói là hàm trên move nhanh hơn hàm dưới cho nên start move cái hàm trên vô được rồi . Hôm qua đau đến điến người luôn nhưng mong là sẽ tháo braces ra trong vòng 17 tháng nữa

Hai ngày nay nó mưa đến phát bịnh . Ra ngoài trời gió thổi muốn bay luôn  Trời âm u thí ghia quá và chỉ có 48 độ à  Lạnh teo hết cả người  Nhưng mà lâu lắm rồi Cali mới có mưa … xém chút là quên mất mưa nó như thế nào

Giờ phải đi shopping mua quà … vì mình là Secret Santa

______________________________________________________


Periodically one has a soul.
Nobody has it all the time and forever.

Day after day, year after year
can pass without it.

Sometimes only in rapture
and in fears of childhood
it dwells within longer.
Sometimes only in the astonishment,
that we have become old.

It rarely assists us
in strenuous pursuits,
such as moving furniture,
carrying suitcases
or tromping through a road in tight shoes.

While filling in forms
and chopping meat
it usually takes the day off.

In a thousand of our conversations
it participates in one,
and not even necessarily in one,
preferring silence.

When our bodies start aching more and more,
it silently leaves the ward.
It’s fussy:
it doesn’t see us immediately in a crowd,
it sickens at our attempts at mere advantage
and the shrill clamor of business.

Joy and sorrow
are not all that different to it.
Only in the combination of them
does it stand up.

We can rely on it,
when we are certain of nothing,
and when everything seizes us.

Among all material objects
it likes best clocks with pendulums
and mirrors, which work fervently,
Even when nobody looks.

It doesn’t say where it comes from
and when it will disappear next,
But it clearly awaits such questions.

It looks like,
as much as we need it,
also it
needs us for something too.
