For my pretty and bright future: i am studying toefl

I have decided to take a toefl certificate at the end of this month
I am 23 years old this year, still is regarded as a fresh graduated. Not too late to get a certificate.

I am too bored with my current job -  boring, endless and extremely stressing. i hate waking up every morning, i hate going to work. My days end up with exhaustion. My youth is flying away and away. We are supposed to earn money from what we love to do, not being tortured everyday and have to suffer from work.

I believe toefl certificate can be a good insurance to help me quit this job. And of course, getting higher salary.

After doing a lot of researches, i think i am going to study toefl on my own. Surely i am not a newbie, my grammar is good. I also can chat with a native for hours. I got a blogloving and a pinterest account following many fun interesting, talented bloggers. They are sources for my reading, thinking practises.
My plan is to take trying tests, get neccessary habits and intuitions, read more, listen more. Listening is probadly my most weakness. I am going to ask my friends to join so that the study spirit will be maintained.

Wish me luck!

The Third day of the Snake year

Cứ bảo mình già đi, nhưng đúng là bị truyền cảm hứng sống "hết mình vì người khác" của Tần ca.Truyện hài  hay quá xá, cắn chăn bông cười sằng sặc luôn =))

                                    

                                             Dark things appear. Không muốn nghĩ đến tiếp, nhưng sẽ cố gắng giải quyết. Fighting!

I want to shop! I want to buy some pleasure and happiness!

I love books

I'm so inspired lately to read books, thanks to http://goodreads.com/ The site lists many many books, from novels to self help ones. They also give a short caption to each book. Whenever I browse the site, I want to have a bookshelf on my own, where I can collect all my fav books and keep them carefully. (My room's too small for that, though ;   ;).
Today I accendentally see the name "lolita" on facebook, and managed to download a pdf version :D Ha ha, so happy, you can have whatever you want as long as you're trying hard, right?
Here's the link. I found it on a blog which I cant find again :(

I also finished few books lately:

I'm in children novel on these days, and this's such a beautiful story :) I found many commons between me and Sara :)) We both have high self esteem, love beautiful things and be able imagine stories anywhere. But I have to admit, she's much stronger than me :))

I litre of tears. "TRY HARD" is the most common word in the book. I shed tears, smiled with characters.  I really admire Aya, who managed to live through all desperations brought by her disease. 

And I'm reading "Alice's adventures in wonderland" :) yay for the famous story!!!

I love Alice in this picture :)) She looks dynamic and smart.

Cooking: Mỳ xào bò - Stir fried noodles with beef and vegetables

Ingredients

Instant noodle: 2 packs

Beef cut into thin strips: 200g

Celery and leek: 100g

Onion: 1 bulb.

Chopped ginger, garlic

How to cook

-      - Slice the beef thinly, marinade with the ginger, garlic, salt and a little bit cooking oil.

-       -Stir the beef quickly.

-       -Pour lots of cooking oil into a pan (as much as you want), heat up the cooking oil, stir the noodle with over medium high-heat to make the noodle brittle. Then put the noodle in a separate bowl.

-      - Quickly stir the celery, leek and onion with over medium high-heat so that it’s not over cooked.

-       -Arrange the noodle, celery, leek  and beef in- a dish, add pepper and chilli, and serve!

Another recipe: noodle, beef and chip cabbage. Do similar steps with 1 pack chip cabbage (http://namangrocer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Cai-chip.jpg) instead of celery, leek and onion.
