Our world 10 years from now ...

How will our world be ten years later? Who can answer this question but a fortune-teller?^-^ I cant tell fortunes with cards or by dreams but, i hope ten years later, there will be no war. We can live in peace, dont need war weapons anymore. The war of independence against the US, We, VietNamese will never forget how terrible it was. Thinking of the war victims always make me want to cry. All we need is world peace. Ten years later, is it possible?
Using my imagination, 5 remarkable events of 2017 would be:
*January, 1st Vladimir Putin will be elected the Kremlin leader third times successively. The presidential election ended in a landslide victory for him and his party. (He is the greatest politician forever and ever ^-^ I like him so much ^-^)
*March, 10th A peace treaty will have been concluded among all member nations of the United Nations. China, Russia, the US has stopped making atomic bombs and all other arms.
*June, 13th The World Gene Bank will have been established, located in Hanoi, VietNam ^-^
*August, 20th A new Egyptian pyramid will have been found. It has took the place of the Great Pyramid of Giza to be the oldest and largest pyramid in the world but it hasnt been named yet.
* December 8th, Main drainage will have been provided in the moon. From 2018, it will be ready for human to live easily in the moon ( I do really want to ^-^)
That is only my imagination^-^ I dont know whether they can be true or not ^-^. Ten years later? Ten years later, i hope i will have got married ^-^ Having cute children, living in affluent circumstances, that is my heart's desire.

Who am i going to be?

My friends always ask me who i want to be or why i am studying 3 languages at the same time. When i took any courses, i had no aim, just because i thought it interesting...not because of my job in the future. Actually, i have my goal in life but it is just...to be a great mother ^-^ I want to teach my children Japanese, English and of course Chinese as well. It maybe not a big dream with many people but it is all i want to do. I have no boyfriend now. I dont want to get married too, so i am thinking of adopt kids ^-^ Anyways, i am only 20 now. I still have much more time to think 'bout that. The most important thing to me now is the Japanese test that is going to be taken in December 2nd. I dont want to fail that test. No way! No way! ^0^

Straight holidays!

^-^ Happy Halloween ^-^
We had 5 straight holidays last week. It was such a good time but it was not enough ^0^ I still want to have more, more, more holidays. ^-^
Last week, we finished our first group project of the Fall term. I was so nervous that i had difficulty expressing what we had prepared for the presentation hic hic. Our presentation wasnt good as i had expected. It was all my fault. My own presentation was entirely different from my manuscript. I even couldnt spell words clearly hichic. Other members of my group did so well. I was so proud of them...I hope they would forgive me 4 my mistakes.
The weather is so weird these days. It turns cold and then suddenly turns hot. This kind of weather makes me feel so bad. I am half asleep all day long. Last week, while i was still dozing, the Chinese lecture came to and end ^-^ Poor my teachers! I am sure that they dont want to have such a student like me.

Weekend trip^0^

All of us, exchange students, just came back from Aso Mt yesterday. It was 6 degrees when we got there. Shivered with cold ~~~. We had barbecue for dinner, then, played games. Our team was the best team! We defeated the opponent and won all prizes^^ It was such a good time but i am now completely done in hic hic. My arms, my legs...poor them! After walking a day long, my steps felt leaden hic hic. I have my weekly Kanji test at first period, Japan politics homework ( which is very very boring +-+ ) to day...hic hic I am thinking of skipping school to day hehehe^0+

Our English speaking group met last Friday at the dorm. We have decided our restaurant's name, history, menu, and slogan as well. Fortunately, we have creative members so, it didnt cost us so much time to do all the thing. Having decided how to divide up the work among us, we finished the discussion at 9.30pm.

Blackbird-Beatles.

It has been such a long time from the last time i updated my English blog^-^ My friends, my blog, I am terribly sorry!

Lastweek, when we had our English speaking class, our teacher let us listen to the song " Blackbird " performed by The Beatles. It was a song with slow rhythm. As i know, Blackbird was written by Paul McCartney, who was inspired to write this after a bird woke him up at six in the morning in India. McCartney said in 2002: "It was written when there were a lot of troubles in the southern states, over civil rights. I don't know if any of you know, but in England we sometimes call girls 'birds'… and I kind of wrote this song with that in mind."

I thought about the meaning of this song but after i read what Paul said, maybe i need think more about it. " Why was it blackbird? In England, they call girls " birds ", so why was it blackbird? Why not whitebird or some other colors? Does anyone know this song? In Vietnam, crow is believed to be the bird that bring us misfortune, I myself dont believe that but i just wondered if Paul had been in Vietnam, he might have written this song or not. Blackbird?
