🌳🌤️🕊️ Fortunately, there are trees, life still has moments of relaxation, nostalgia still has wings to fly. // 幸好有树，生活还有放松的时刻，留恋还有展翅高飞。 Xìnghǎo yǒu shù, shēnghuó hái yǒu fàngsōng de shíkè, liúliàn hái yǒu zhǎnchì gāo fēi. // Hạnh hảo hữu thụ, sinh hoạt hoàn hữu phóng tùng đích thì khắc, lưu luyến hoàn hữu triển sí cao […]
🌙🚶♂️🍽️ Living like a human will know that the moon has passed. Living like a human will know that they are walking, eating, breathing, not drifting. // 像人一样生活会知道月亮过去了，像人一样生活会知道他们在走路，吃饭，呼吸，而不是漂泊。 Xiàng rén yīyàng shēnghuó huì zhīdào yuèliàng guòqùle, xiàng rén yīyàng shēnghuó huì zhīdào tāmen zài zǒulù, chīfàn, hūxī, ér bùshì piāobó. // Tượng nhân nhất dạng […]
🚪🤔🗺️ It’s been a while since I’ve been anywhere, and I feel lost. Going out hasn’t been a basic necessity like eating and sleeping. But if I can’t go today, there’s always tomorrow and the day after. // 好久没有去任何地方了，感觉很迷茫。因为去不是最低限度的需要，比如吃饭、睡觉。如果今天不能去，还有明天，后天。 Hǎojiǔ méiyǒu qù rènhé dìfāngle, gǎnjué hěn mímáng. Yīnwèi qù bùshì zuìdī xiàndù de xūyào, bǐrú […]
☔🌧️🌈 Tired of constant rain. I wish life had a few filters, just click for a bright blue sky, another for multicolored clouds, without a hint of gloom. // Mưa hoài chán quá đi. Ước gì cuộc đời mình có vài cái filter, chỉ cần click một cái bầu trời xanh thật xanh, click cái […]
🚦🏃♂️⚽ Life we go through is like participating in traffic. Even if you run on the right lane and stop at the right lights, there are still many people around who don’t follow the traffic rules and crash into you. The exhausting May is over, let’s wait for June to relax and watch the World […]
As usual, my twin sis’d like to take a day off to rest. But yesterday didn’t wear me out so I decided to take a leisure stroll alone. And the destination I picked was the nearby Cumberland State Forest. I was at the bus stop around 10AM but had to wait for so long that […]
After sitting for more than 8 hours, unable to sleep because of the cold, the “Pay To Play” airline took me to the destination. My big bro picked us up and drove us to his home. I kinda liked the mix of ancient and modern architecture of this urban city. In the car, I crossed […]
My company organized a 2-day trip to trek Ta Nang for managers. Despite advice to practice before the trip, I didn’t think it would be as hard a the hikes/treks I did in Kangding, Danba, or Garzê (all in Sichuan province of China) in 2009. Turned out I was wrong somehow. The day before the […]
🏔️🚶⛵ No mountain is too steep for those who climb, No ocean too vast for those who dare its tide. // 山高自有客行路，水深自有渡船人。 Shāngāo zì yǒu kè xínglù, shuǐshēn zì yǒu dùchuán rén. // Sơn cao tự hữu khách hành lộ, thủy thâm tự hữu độ thuyền nhân. // Núi cao ắt có đường người qua, […]
