Long time no see, my blog. There's now something stuck in my mind - the feeling of having no destination, no passion to fall into and laziness...
Overcome, overcome ... My plans are paused. I hate this feeling. May be I should find something, some courses to attend...

I have few tasks today so I finished them in the morning already. At the end of this week, I’m going to take the Toeic exam. Actually, I haven’t prepare completely yet and I intended to get Toeic certificate at the end of this month or next month, but I still want to take the test right now. Otherwise, I’ll be immersed in the feeling of sadness and boring. There are only 4 days remain to join the exam. To try to reach the upper level – get a high score on the first time taking Toeic – to not lose the exam fee from my company are my motivations to take Toeic test
I’m really affected by my emotion when doing or thinking about everything. I admit that it is one of my biggest weakness which fails me in many situations. I’m trying to overcome.

Sometimes, I feel tired and unpleasant with work, studies and even myself. How to gain a victory over myself, How to refresh myself, I wonder. The feeling that I remained the same position for a long time makes me unhappy.
A day with some English lessons, some simple tasks passes gently and easily. I wanna find a more challenging opportunity to develop my ability and prove my worth. I need some changes... However, The fact that I passed the CPE examination as well as the English course in my company - a good news - really comforts me. I still continue preparing myself... Be patient!

Yesterday, I was so busy with my work that I can’t study any new word and write anything in diary. However, I spent a warm night with my old friends in café Kaka last night. We were eagerly chatting about our relatives, jobs, friends, promotion, love… Since we haven’t seen each other for a long time, so everybody has a lot things to share.
My father called me while I was chatting with my friends. Listening to his depressed voice, I wondered what happened. I feel very worried about him. I asked him but he avoided telling me his feeling. What should I do now?
Surfing blogs of some close friends, she’s sad, very sad. She cried, cried a lot… I understand why but I don’t know how to console her, what to tell her. What should I do now?
I’m such a helpless daughter, a helpless friend?
Be happy, please! my beloved.

Yeah, I finished lesson 14 - Salaries & Benefits and lesson 15 - Promotions, pensions, and awards. I’m behind the vocabulary plan so I’m trying to get back on track by learning 2 or more lessons per day. Besides, I’ve already reviewed the 15 lessons I’ve learned. Everything seems smooth today
http://dictionary.cambridge.org: a wonderful online dictionary I’ve ever found. Now I’m using it for looking up new words.
Another news for today is that my CPE examination’s result is published. I feel very nervous about this. This evening, I’ll know exactly the result – whether it’s bad or good – I’m wondering. Bless!
This week, I also try to complete 3 Toeic practice tests. My OGX is going on his company trip to Phan Thiet this weekend so I’ll have more time to concentrate on my own work.

Today, I start writing my diary in English to improve my writing skill.
For today, I have learned two lessons in “600 essential words for the Toeic” book. Lesson 11 is about Job Advertising & Recruiting and lesson 12 is about Applying and Interviewing. Learning new words often makes me exhausted. I feel as I’m chasing my plan. This plan is not too difficult to accomplish – just a lesson per day – 12 words a day, but I can’t do this easily. Wow, I don’t want to say about this anymore.
Next Monday, I’m going to join my company’s charity trip to Thi Nghe orphanage center. We have collected contributions from all employees of Delivery 3 and bought lanterns, moon cakes for children there. Yes, it’s Mid-Autumn Festival. To me, it will be a meaningful and unforgettable occasion. I’m eagerly waiting for the next Monday.
