Today, school was sooo relaxing :)..especially for my class (which has no boy in it :( :P) cuz its Women's Day. At Physics and Maths classes, both of the teachers were turned down :P n we had NO lesson!:P they couldnt get angry cuz its Women's Day,didnt wanna be called with names n thought of as not very gallant guys :P :P.

Then party. School was a a big mess of parties! Every class has party! Noisy Music,guys being drama actors n crazy jokers to entertain the girls hehe. OH tragedy! its tragic when a class has no guy:( :P.A supreme women world! But still we had heaps of fun...ate creammy huge cakes, dress some funky clothes, made bunches of photos n talked n busy getting gifts. Not too bad. :)

Well,Women's Day is a big celebration in Vietnam not only for women politicians or activists but for all anyone with female gender :). Its like ur Mom's day too.Even bigger cuz its for daughters,grandmas, sweethearts hehe ,a bit of valentines too since loz of roses r chocolates being comsumed.

Then got home. Checked email n got a couple of cards from my frens. Then, went to take a Rhona's gift from her friend who's coming to vietnam to organize a summer camp. Thanks Rhona!! :) U dont have to do that u know.Thaz too sweet of you!Thx:)

Oh u see the little pic up there of a cool smiley woman? thaz my mom!N the guy is my dad.The pic is more than 20 years old n was one of their first dates. :)

OK theres a lot i can tell about my mom .But anywaz i ve been thinking n same old learning : mom rocks! :)Shes not only my mom but my friend,work partner,debator and so much so much more.She means more anything to me in this whole big world.Theres so much to say about how special she is. But well im not gonna blabla even tho i really want to :P.

Aniwaz she is a really important person to me and influence me a lot. The *me* today has loz of her pieces of her soul.She always supports my passions n dreams.A memory. When i first wrote an opinion pieace for a children's newspaper, i got only 10 000 Vietnamese Dong which is like half a dollar :P, very little n everyone was kinda laughing saying she should give me one dollar instead of taking me a long way to the newspaper office to get the money. But she spent a morning just to take me there and get my first *make-it-myself* money. All of my articles n photos and films about me from, she kept them carefully and keep in a huge box and whenever i feel tired or frustrated becuz of work,this box n collection wake up and re-energize my passions.

Mom is also the person i argue and debate with most. She challenges me all the time with questions and sharp points. She challenges me to think of how to be a practical dreamers,how to transmute my dreams into actualities. We debate,heatedly discuss and argue about everything from politics to human values to women stuff to blabla :) which helps me to not only *see* but *capture and understand* the world beyond its outside looking.

Plus,my mom is really someone who squeeze 48 hours into 24 :P.She has some weird kind of energy- not human one sometimes i told her :P.She's managing so much work as office as a manager n still being a great cook! and caring wife n mom..OH she rocks! she really does :)

We have been having lots of problems during the last year. Becuz i m grown up and moms moving to a new period too.Both of us have to get used to that.Its not easy tho. Sometimes we have different motivations,conflicts sort of and not clearly understand each other n its kind scary sometimes. But we are both trying to learn n keep discovering. But its not a big thing.

The only thing is we will have to be away from each other soon or later *sniff sniff* awww..isnt that bad that she spent her whole for me n then im gonna leave her...aww :(

Aniwaz i gotta go get a gift for my mom now :) n its a challenge cuz she likes so many things (just like me :P) n always say she doesnt currently needs or wants anything so i donno what she like best now awww..

Aniwaz happy Women's Day to all u out there who's squeezing 48 hours into 24 (even tho u sometimes dont recognize it!:))to change the world and help people discover they are loved. :)
