my car

i have been driving my car for 5 weeks. i am really satisfied when i have it.i feel very free.i go wherever i want and save a lot of time.i go to Gym again,actually it is because i wanna make my body sharper before i go back Viet Nam. unfortunately, i spend much money for it. insurance, gas ,parking ,repairing which take me more or less 250$ per month. i wonder that whether i become lazy when i have the car or not. at the end of semester, i wanted to relax and didn't pay much attention for the course. at the consequence i bought the car. i confused that the issue was the car or my spirit.last week and this week until now ,i was really tired.i collect my document for interviewing to renew my visa,besides that i moved to a new apartment. the thing was that my course did not have credit so it is really difficult for me to prove my work in here. i had to contact with Ben and Tracy who were my summer teacher to ask them for the recommendations. they were really helpful for me. yesterday my document was finished so today i tried to keep on my blog and read book again. hopefully i can do it.hehehe

Michi is my housemate.he is korean but he grew up in Japan and Canada. he graduated from Stanford University and have studied 2 years in France,he can speaks Prench,english,japanese and korean very fluently.his degree is so high than other people.his family has really high education.he have worked for Panasonic and many big banks in the US.now,he is 37 years old. he is very successful but he knows time to get married coming.it is so hard for him because he has no experiences about love.when he talks with us ,he tries to hide it,but his social behaviors are so bad. he thinks i am from Vietnam so i do not know what the hell he is saying.actually,the entertainments in VN for me it is much better than here a lot.last 3 months,he registered to a sicking web to find a right woman who might become his wife.he got a date with a korean american girl.she is 5 years younger than him.they just met 2 time and he became crazy with her.he bought a diamond ring which cost him 7.000$ and he bought a lot of gifts to her,stupidly,a underwear he still bought 1000$ and they eat in luxury restaurant.behind those dates,he eat stupid food.when we went to market,unbelievable he tried to buy a cheapest soy sauce. he did not know how to impress a women.he just showed them that he had high education,money but he did not know how poor his behavior was. in his mind,he told me he should marry her in this year,he thought love was easy like his study.last month,he went back to japan to quit his job and prepare for life with her in the US. he was so concieted with his degree and his lover.ridiculously,he bought his car before he went back Janpan because he did not want to waste his time with her when he came back to the US. 3 days before now,i met him in the hallway of my house,he told me they was broken.he told that girl wanted to see his financal statement to make sure he had money.he loved her too much and spend too much money to be broken.now he can not find a job in here because of financial crisis ,he sells back his car without driving.next week,he will go to New york,hopefully he might find a job in there.
i just want to tell that.study is just a supplement for you life.it does not main you will success in your life,because your life is effected by your relationships and your love. if you know balance your life for studying and social life to get good education and good social behavior. the percent you become a successful and happy person is higher then those people.

election in America

finally,Obama became a president of America.it did not supprise me.what supprised me that was the way people responded to the election.few months ago,people told about the election and campaigns until now.people paid attention so much to that.the day when election was lasted was 11-4. at 7am,i took bus to go to my college.people started to make a line in frond of the office,i was very supprised because the office was not open.i thought they should not have time so they had to do that to make sure they have done it.Starbucks and some donuts company gave people free coffee and food after they voted.at the evening,people gathered into small group and made party for waiting the result. we guessed we should know at 11pm or later but unbelievable,most offices finished voting at 8 but the result just appeared later on not much.in my country,people dont know why we have that president because we can not vote for them,we just vote for chairmans,i think it just for fun because we vote without thinking,we dont know what the hell we vote for.president is made by chairmans. it is too bad in my country because we even do not know when we vote.

temple


i am a Buddhist,i go to temple every week.it is not a obligation for me.i just want to go there because i have friend in there.when i stay in there i feel familiar because it is vietnamese temple. however,my ground in temple,most people can not speak English well,nomorly we communicate in English.Buddhist is different from other religion.we do not have a schedule for temple,we just show up when we want to. therefor,when i was in Viet Nam ,i just went to temple when i wanted.i used to go there before i had something important.comparing with my friend and people same age with me,i more usually went to temple than them. in the US,people go to temple every weekend and whenever they have time.it makes me very surprise.i think because people in here they live far from VietNam and they dont have much relatives around them.temple is the place they can ralex and remind them about their country.
i enjoy every weekend in temple,i really have fun in there.
