lonely

nơi ấy sẽ không có anh và những kỷ niệm

thế là chúng mình đã xa nhau thật rồi. em muốn níu kéo nhưng để làm gì đây? để rồi sau đó chúng mình lại như vậy lại chẳng thể hiểu nhau .

không ngờ bao nhiêu ngày tháng chúng mình yêu nhau chỉ là những tưởng tượng của anh và em. nó không phải như một tình yêu trên mạng, trên yahoo như anh đã từng yêu. em và anh yêu nhau là có thật, những kỷ niệm là có thật và em cũng yêu anh rất thật. nhưng anh đã lại cho đó chỉ là những tình cảm được xây dựng trên nhưng tưởng tượng mà không có thật. khi em báo tin cho anh rằng em sắp về, chỉ hơn một tháng nữa thôi là em sẽ về và chúng mình không còn phải xa nhau nữa. em đã tưởng anh sẽ vui mừng lắm khi em nhắn tin cho anh như vậy. nhưng nó đã không như em mong đợi anh đã không nói gì với em mà mấy ngày anh cũng chẳng thèm liên lạc với em nữa. rồi khi anh lên mạng chúng mình đã nói rất nhiều và cuối cùng anh cũng đã nói thật cho em biết rằng" anh không mong chờ anh về như em đang nghĩ. rằng anh chán cái cảnh xa nhau như thế này, chán mỗi ngày nhìn nhau qua cái webcam bé tý mà không phải em thực, anh ghét và chán ngày nào cũng phải như thế này chẳng có gì để nói nữa. anh không thể chờ em ngay cả khi chỉ con 45 ngày nữa là em về rồi. anh chưa chuẩn bị tinh thần để cho ngày đó.anh chỉ có thể yêu em theo cảm hứng mà thôi. anh không thể liên lạc với em hàng ngày được. anh không muốn quan tâm đến ai và cũng không muốn ai quan tâm đến mình"vậy mà chúng mình đã nói với nhau rất nhiều vế cái ngày em về. ngày ấy anh sẽ đón em ở sân bay và sẽ ôm em thật chặt ngay sau khi gặp em. nhưng lời lẽ yêu thương giờ đây anh thay vào đó là những lời nói sao cay đắng thế. em ngồi đó mà nghẹn lên không thể nói lên một lời nào. em đã trách anh thật nhiều, trách anh sao anh không nói sớm cho em biết, sao anh để em nuôi dưỡng tình cảm ấy để giờ anh cho em biết bao cay đắng, em trách anh sao nhẫn tâm với em thế.

cuối cùng ngày hôm ấy chúng mình cũng nói hết nhưng suy nghĩ trong lòng cho nhau biết. em như người tỉnh cơn mơ. trong giấc mơ ấy em đã mơ về nó thật ngọt ngào và hành phúc. anh đã làm em tin vào cái hạnh phúc , vào cái ngày chúng ta được đoạn tụ quá nhiều. em đã hận anh sao nhẫn tâm với em như thế.

ngày hôm nay em vào blog của anh và nhận ra những dòng comment của em và những người bạn của em anh đã xóa hết mà không hề thương tiếc. anh cũng làm thế với bao nhiêu người con gái khác mà anh yêu trên mạng trước em. trước khi đến với em anh đã có những cuộc tình trên mạng, rồi khi chia tay anh cũng luôn làm thế với biết bao nhiêu người. anh đã từng nói với em rằng anh yêu em là thực sự, là có thực. tất cả những cuộc tình trên mạng chỉ là ảo tưởng không có thật. đó chỉ là khi học xa nhà cần ai đó chia sẻ và động viên, nó không có những cảm giác, nó không có những đụng chạm, nó không có những ngày thường như này. yêu em anh được là chính anh không phải tôn mình lên, anh có thể biểu lộ hết những cái xấu trong con người anh mà không lo lắng. nhưng tất cả nhưng điều anh đang làm với em là gì đây? là tình yêu thực sự uh?
sao em mơ hồ thế? sao em ngốc nghếch thế? sao em lai tin vào tính yêu của anh nhiều thế?

ngày em về sẽ không còn có anh như em đã tưởng tưởng. cái tương lai mình đã dựng lên sụp đổ trước mắt em. cay đắng quá!

em muốn quên anh thật nhanh, em muốn dời khỏi nơi nay thật nhanh. nơi này có quá nhiều kỷ niệm của anh. em không thể không nhớ tới anh khi mỗi con đường em đi đều có anh, những nơi em đến đều có anh ở đó. em chỉ có thế quên được anh khi em về việt nam mà thôi. nơi đó có anh ở đó nhưng không có những kỷ niệm của anh. nơi đó sẽ không làm em nhớ đến anh nhiều như thế này. rối khi nào em nhớ đến nơi này cũng là lúc em nhớ đến anh và những nỗi đau mà em đã chải qua.

những ngày này em chỉ biết lao vào học tập mà thôi để không phải nhớ đến anh. nhưng mối đêm về là lúc em nhớ anh thật nhiều, em đã khóc thật nhiều, nhiều lắm. ngày tốt nghiệp đang đến cùng ngày về nước nữa nhưng sao giờ đây em chẳng còn vui mong chờ nó nữa. anh làm em thay đổi nhiều quá. em ghét mình như thế này không cảm giác, không có niếm tin , em chán ghét tất cả.

Flavors of Vietnam

Vietnam, an S-shaped country of more than 80 million people, is located on the eastern part of the Indo-Chinese peninsula. China borders it to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, the East Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the east and south. Three-quarters of Vietnam’s territory is covered by mountains and hills.

Vietnamese cuisine is fresh and healthful. It is generally low in fat (simmering is preferred to frying when it comes to cooking methods) and features lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, with meat used more as a condiment than a central ingredient. Soups are a central part of the Vietnamese diet, particularly the noodle soup known as “pho” that is now known around the world. Noodles in their many forms are the cornerstone of Vietnamese cooking and are eaten as part of all three daily meals by many Vietnamese. The most important seasoning is nuoc mam, or fish sauce. Most meals include a plate of fresh vegetables, including cucumber, bean sprouts, chilies and fresh herbs such as mint and basil.

There are three main regions in Vietnam: northern, central and southern, with each area boasting unique foods and culinary specialties. In the north, you’re more likely to find beef (a legacy of the Mongols), black pepper rather than chilies, and fewer vegetables and herbs. The central region once had royal associations and retains the tradition of numerous smaller dishes, the variety depending upon the wealth of the household. The south is more favorable to growing fruits, which often find their way into meat and vegetable dishes. Here chilies are widely used, and the cuisine includes curries as well as dishes influenced by neighboring Cambodia.

There are also some typical dishes that are found throughout Vietnam, as well as special holiday foods associated with Tet, the Vietnamese New Year.

Two Vietnamese specialties

* Nem ran (spring roll)
Nem ran (called cha gio in the south) is a much-appreciated specialty, and it is easy to prepare. Spring rolls have long been a familiar dish on every menu, whether for New Year’s festivities, family parties or receptions. The filling is composed of ground pork, crab, egg, minced mushrooms, dried onion, bean sprouts and spices. The mixture is then rolled up in rice paper and fried until crisp. The nems are served with a sauce that is salty, sweet, tart and aromatic with onion and pepper and which may be flavored with thinly sliced papaya or fresh vegetables.

* Gio lua (lean pork paste)
The Vietnamese name means “silky meat paste,” an allusion to the fine texture of this product. Akin to sausage, gio lua is made with lean pork that is pounded with a pestle to a paste. Fresh banana leaves are tied very tightly around the paste and then it is well cooked. Good gio lua has a light color, is firm, and has a perfumed, sweetish taste. Gio lua is available throughout Vietnam, but the best comes from Uoc Le Village in Hanoi, where the production method is a closely-guarded secret.

Festive Foods for Tet (Vietnamese New Year)

Tet is the Vietnamese New Year, calculated according to the Chinese calendar, and is the most important holiday of the year. The festivities surrounding Tet always include traditional New Year’s foods, including Banh chung and Banh tet (boiled rice and pork cakes), Canh mang (dried bamboo shoot soup), Bong (dried pork skin), Hanh muoi (pickled onions), Mien (vermicelli noodles), Moc (pork and mushroom soup), Ga ran or luoc (fried or boiled chicken), Ca chep kho rieng (carp with galangal), Bo kho que (beef with cinnamon), Xoi gac (sticky rice with bitter melon), Che kho (soft green bean cake) and Mut (preserved fruit).

Specialties of Northern Vietnam

* Pho (rice noodle soup)
Pho is a dish traditionally associated with Hanoi, where it has been known for centuries. Good pho consists of a flavorful broth, tender (but not mushy) rice noodles and tender meat. A bowl of hot pho on a cold day is an essential part of an authentic Hanoi experience.

* Bun thang (Hanoi chicken noodle soup)
Bun Thang is another dish closely associated with Hanoi and is a must when visiting the city. It includes chicken, rice noodles, lean pork paste or ham, fried egg, onion, salted shrimp and shrimp paste.

* Mon oc (snails)
The Vietnamese take on French escargots may involve steaming the snails with ginger leaves or Chinese herbs, sautéing them with star fruit, or boiling them with lemon leaves. They are also served in a slightly sour soup with rice noodles. Snails are a popular food in Hanoi and a reputed morning-after cure for hangover!

* Com (grilled green rice)
Every autumn, around September and October, the sticky rice ears bend, awaiting the ripening of the grains. It is then that the grains are at their fullest with the highest concentration of rice-milk – a sign that the season for “com” has arrived. Com is made from green sticky rice that is roasted numerous times, crushed and sieved. It may served with ripe banana or in various dishes such as com xao (browned com), banh com (com cakes), che com (sweetened com soup), etc. Com is found throughout northern Vietnam, though it is a particular specialty of the village of Vong, near Hanoi, where its preparation is an age-old skill.

* Cha ca La Vong (La Vong grilled fish)
Cha ca La Vong is unique to Hanoi, where there is even a Cha Ca Street. It consists of boneless cubes of fish (catfish is preferred), that are seasoned, grilled and served with roasted peanuts, dry pancakes, noodle soup, spiced vegetables and shrimp paste with lemon and chili. The Cha Ca La Vong Restaurant on No.14 Cha Ca Street is the birthplace of the dish.

* Banh cuon (rolled rice pancake)
Banh cuon is a popular Vietnamese breakfast dish. Rice pancakes are rolled around a filling containing minced pork, mushrooms, salted shrimp and fried onions and served very hot with a sweet sauce.

* Lon quay Lang Son (Lang Son roasted pork)
No visit to Lang Son province would be complete without a taste of this roasted pork. Its unique flavor comes from “mac mat” or “sweet leaf,” which is soaked with spices and flavorings and used to stuff pork belly. The meat is then roasted and glazed with honey until crisp, golden and delicious.

* Banh tom Ho Tay (Ho Tay fried shrimp cake)
Anyone who has lived in Hanoi knows of the Banh Tom Ho Tay Restaurant. Its specialty is a wheat and potato cake topped with shrimp and fried. Both crisp and soft, the shrimp cakes are served with pickled vegetables and sour fish sauce.

Specialties of Central Vietnam

* Banh beo xu Hue (steamed pancakes with shrimp)
Banh beo are a specialty of Hue City. They are delicious little steamed rice pancakes topped with shrimp and seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, garlic and chili.

* Bun bo gio heo (beef and pork foot noodle soup)
Another specialty of Hue City is Bun bo gio heo, which requires some skill to perfect. Pig’s feet are cleaned, cut up, spiced with salt, pepper, fish sauce, dried onion and spices, cooked and served with beef in rice noodle soup.

* Banh la cha tom (grilled rice cake with prawns)
This delicate dish consists of a thin soft pancake wrapped around prawns, served with anchovy sauce.

* Com hen song Huong (Perfume River mussels and rice)
Com hen is a dish often served at room temperature, made with mussels and leftover rice. It is a complicated recipe that includes sweet, buttery, salty, sour, bitter and spicy flavors. Making it requires some 15 different raw ingredients, including rice, mussels, peanuts, sesame seeds, pancakes, shredded salted meat, chili sauce, banana flower, star fruit, mint, etc.

* Cao lau Hoi An (Hoi An noodles)
Cao lau is a dish generally found only in Hoi An. Cao lau noodles are carefully made from local new rice and water from the wells of Ba Le village. The dish combines noodles, pork, bean sprouts, herbs and crispy pancakes.

* Banh trang cuon thit heo (pancakes with pork)
In the Central region, you will be offered Banh trang cuon thịt heo, a big plate of fresh vegetables, hot red chilies, boiled lean and fat pork, a bowl of fish sauce and a plate of pancakes. Diners top their pancakes with their choice of ingredients and roll them up.

* My Quang (rice noodle soup)
Similar to rice noodle and chicken or pork soup (Hu tieu), My Quang is a variety of Pho (rice noodle soup). The broth may be made from a mixture of beef or pork bones, shrimp, crab, chicken or duck. The noodles are yellow, somewhat distinct from Pho. My quang is often topped with fresh herbs, roasted peanuts, shrimp or pork.

Specialties of Southern Vietnam

* Xoi chien phong (fried sticky rice balls)
No one can resist a plate of Xoi chien phong, fried sticky rice balls, served with a dish of buttery roast chicken. A traditional specialty of the Binh Duong Restaurant, Dong Nai province, the dish is now available at many hotels in Ho Chi Minh City.

* Lau mam (mixed vegetable and meat hot pot)
A traditional rural dish, lau mam has become a much-appreciated specialty in southern Vietnam. To be authentic, it must include Chau doc, a fish sauce made from freshwater fish. Other ingredients may include fish, pork, shrimp, eel or beef, with at least 10 – and sometimes up to 24! – different kinds of vegetables, which might include water lily, eggplant, bitter melon, straw mushrooms, bean sprouts, chilies, etc. Lau mam is ladled into bowls with noodles… delicious!

* Goi buoi (shaddock salad)
Goi buoi is available at most of the well-known restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. It includes shaddock (pomelo), fresh shrimp, pork and dried cuttlefish. It is a colorful and attractive dish with sour, sweet, hot and buttery notes, often garnished with spiced vegetables, white sesame seeds and coconut.

* Ca tai tuong chien xu (fried "Tai tuong" fish)
A kind of carp, “tai tuong” is also known as “batfish” or “ugly fish.” Despite its name, it is considered a luxury product, with sweet, mild white flesh. It can be prepared either boiled or fried. When fried, the whole fish is immersed into hot oil so that the scales stand up. The cooked fish is transferred to a platter and garnished with quail eggs, fried potato, fresh onion, tomato and chili. A sweet and sour sauce is poured over top, the fish is sprinkled with peanuts and served.

* Ca nuong trui (grilled fish)
Farm workers from the villages of southern Vietnam often prepare grilled fish right in the field. The fish are skewered onto pieces of bamboo and smoked over rice straw fires. The charred scales are removed and the white fish is placed on a lotus leaf “plate,” seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon juice and rolled up in a fig leaf or young sesame shoot to be eaten with the hands. When prepared at home, the fish might be served with pancakes, noodle soup and vegetables. Ca nuong trui is also a popular snack with drinks.

* Ca kho to (clay pot fish)
The fish used to make ca kho to might be catfish, anabas or snakehead fish. The fish is braised in a sweet sauce containing garlic, fresh lemon, onion, chili, sugar, fish sauce, pepper and wine in a clay pot set over a flame. It is served with boiled vegetables such as shallot, cabbage or spinach, which are dipped into the sauce, or with pickled vegetables or fruits.

* Cua rang muoi (fried salted crabs)
Visitors to Vietnam shouldn’t miss this delicious southern specialty that combines the flavor of crab and sweet spices. A plate of bright red Cua rang muoi is often served as an appetizer. Chefs in the Vung Tau coastal region select meaty saltwater crabs and cook them with star anise, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. They are served hot, sprinkled with lemon juice.

what should i do?

I want to cry but I can’t do it. I want to scream but I can’t scream. What should I do? I just keep it all inside. I know that it’s a bomb and one day it is going to explode. It’s not the kind of story that I want to share with someone. It’s really a bad story. I can’t share this with my boyfriend or my friends about because I don’t know how to talk about it. Will they even believe me?


It was a bad day for me. There were seven of us celebrating. I drank too much. Many were drunk but I just felt dizzy and happy. I was going to my room but I suddenly felt sick and I went to a friend’s bathroom. A man was following me and suddenly grabs me back. I was so afraid when I looked at his face. I will never forget his face and his eyes. He was going to hold me and kiss me. But I didn’t let him do it. I tried to run away but fell down. My head hit hard on the floor but I knew I’ve got to run away. I ran through the darkness with his voice calling me back but I just kept running.


That man had been good to me like a brother. He is younger than me by 2 years. I can’t believe this happened to me but it’s really true. I wished it was a dream but it isn’t. That day I changed my mind about him.


After that he continued calling and texting me, “he was sorry”, but I didn’t reply. I called my boyfriend but didn’t say anything I just started to cry. I told him I was sorry, because many times he would remind me to be careful, I should have listened to him. I was too young to understand how complicated life can get.


Sadly this man now denies this ever happened. He said he didn’t do anything. I was so hurt when I heard that. He has a good reputation. So how can I tell anyone what he is really like?


I know that my boyfriend will get angry with me if he knows this happened. I will keep it to myself and remember that day. It will be a learning experience for me to always keep in mind.
