IT IS A LITTLE ROUGH TODAY | IT IS

"My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier" - Anthony Hopkins.

Lincoln once said: "You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry". So what makes you angry? A few of you may say 'making macarons', some would say 'being betrayed' and others may think 'unpleasant things'. I'll take things like this:

'Making macarons' is a passion. It's still going on.

'Being betrayed' is a circumstance. It's the past.

'Unpleasant things' is too blurred. It's the future.

To me, I am angry about what's going on right now, which is my passion, fashion. I think I'm in love with it more than I thought. 

This is not what fashion is. Pull down to the end to see what it truly is.

I had dinner last night at Paris Deli on Nha Chung street. Dessert only. It was Valentine, yes. But it was more than just a day to give and receive. I finally decided that I'd put my love life aside and focus on my career. A part of me accepted the fact that I'd die alone, old and dry. The other parts kept telling me: "Let it be". So I let go.

Let it be. Try The Beatles or Glee. I go for Glee.

I have a bike now. I'll repaint it, buy a new bucket, bags and a few other things. I love riding only 2 things, one is bike and one is car. Motorbike is not my thing. Besides, I'm poor, I don't have money for gas or oil or whatever it is.

Have you ever tried living on your own? 

Anyway. There are 3 major things for me: knowledge, relationships and money. I'm having chances to gain the first 2 things, so I don't mind having little money. I know it takes patience and belief to finally have them all.

I miss school sometimes. It was my pride and my home. 

I wonder what you guys are doing in college now. Is it fun? Do you have lots of knowledge and experience from what you learn? Tell me. Enlighten me. Or just ask me out, I need new friends.

I'm looking forward to Tuesday. I could make it or break it. I remember crying almost every day during the first month I started my job. I didn't get the way we were working, I felt small and insecure. I burst out into tears when I had coffee with my friend because I was stressed. But I put myself together and kept improving myself. I'm better than that.

And I quit smoking. Successfully.

Fashion. It's annoying and lovable.

Wanna marry a Balmain guy! | Mang họ Balmain trong 10 năm nữa

This is absolutely why I'm obsessed with high fashion! Forget those reasons: "u'r just paying for the media fee" or "it's just expensive 'cos it has a brand", ur world would change entirely when u put on a nice Balmain tuxedo jacket instead of something made in chi-na (don't wanna write it correctly 'cos I don't wanna pr this country for free or with any price in any way).

Chiếc áo trong mơ của mình - Belted satin-trimmed wool tuxedo jacket

Just have a 3s-touch on the jacket, feel the fabric and let every needlework kill u softly, u'll know the reason why Balmain offers such a crazy price. 

Độc màu đen và thêm gold!!

This piece of art can make u feel powerful - have a look at the shoulders, highlight ur sexy classy waist with two golden buttons in front, and still shows ppl that u'r a beautiful young lady with a luxury taste (the arms r really fitted, it would make u older if they were loose).

Giá của em là $2,987 - no problem nhỉ

 If I'm not working but going out with friends, I'd choose a Balmain embellished cotton-jersey t-shirt. It catches the light, it highlights my personality, makes sure ppl know my style and most of all, it goes well with metallic, which is totally suitable for daywear and nightwear.

Giấc mơ thứ 2 của mình, 'bé hơn một chút' - Embellished cotton-jersey T-shirt

$1,480 - vẫn theo rule All Black Everything

For the evening events, a Balmain wool-twill mini dress would lift my mood up high to da sky. I can still feel classy, blackie, 'no-bra-ie' and sexy without showing too much. Black for the evening - because it goes well with metallic! Flawsome!

'Diamond-shaped dream' - Balmain wool-twill mini dress

$3,890 :D

So yes I'm being fashion paranoid right now. But with this kind of motivation, I'll try and try harder to get there. There will be a day when u and I can walk down the street with an outfit from Balmain head-to-toe, and the only thing we worry about would be our career, not our unwanted-but-needed job. Hehe, I can see that coming! (did i break the atmosphere when I used hehe?)

Coffee addicted | Nghiện cà phê

I can't give up coffee!! Even though I tried thinking about tea or coke or soda or vodka, I still drank coffee. It makes me feel high and warms up my body like a cozy blanket wrapping around my veins. I'm thinking about tea this afternoon, reading my brand new just-printed book and sitting alone at Cong Cafe on Nguyen Huu Huan St. A friend of mine suggested I should sitting alone, watching people walking by like that cos it's geeky and sexy. Haha. I never tried it before but it sounds quite like me, I like watching people and things, as long as they don't know. Shhh....!
So if u'r in Hanoi right now, visit Cong Cafe, u might see me and we can have a lil chit chat. I'd love having new friends.

Không thể từ bỏ cà phê!
