Chào các bạn! I am Thanh and in a world overflowing with expectations and responsibilities, this will be my safe space that I want to share with anyone who would like to get a glimpse of what I am up to and all the tea I need to spill if ya know what I mean *wink*.
so what to expect?
Posts about Lifestyle. Travelling. Beauty. Books. Fashion. Doesn’t this all go into lifestyle? I’m not a professional at this, so expect to see a lot of me, for all I know. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the things that I experienced or simply the way I see and think about things. Let’s get on this journey!
me at the centre of the universe
If you would ever meet me in real life, you will notice that I am a mixture of socially awkward, bubbly cheerfulness and a lot of cuteness with an accidental large spill of sarcasm and bad jokes. People tell me that I always know what to say to make them laugh with my peculiar personality. From making random ‘Aaah!’s (from stress) and sound effects, to simply questionable comments.
I tend to laugh and giggle about everything. Despite being an introvert, I am quite oddly, naturally social. Other than that, I am a peanut-sized human being that dresses like a baby doll with a face as round as a chinese pork bun. I will sulk over anything that is remotely cute, and I love photos (of myself ok cancel that let’s maybe try not being so narcissistic), hence why you will see me a lot. Enjoy it!
The rest of my time, I devote to nothing of importance. I am terribly unproductive, forgetful and easily distracted. I get furious at myself then after, knowing that I could have spent the time more wisely. I can’t watch movies without being on the phone at the same time, not because the movie bores me, but because I have a terrible need to multitask. I enjoy cooking and the aesthetics of good looking food, but I am too self-conscious to cook in front of others. The kitchen will look like a battlefield, but hey! no one’s gotta know that.
random interests
I am passionate about so many things that I forget that I am passionate at all. I believe in being open-minded. I won’t go out of my way to read 14 books about the history of art, philosophy, biology or coding, but if that is what you are passionate about, I will gladly listen to you ramble about it, even if it takes 3 hours. Take me to a museum and I will enjoy it despite having no background. Show me your shoe collection and I will be fascinated. I just want to learn, discuss and take interest in all the things I have the chance to.
I enjoy travelling like nothing else in this world. I really believe in the appreciation of things, whether that’s of architecture, arts, cultures or people. That is probably also why it’s so difficult to trust my opinion on some things, because I literally love anything, or at least find something good in everything. Like music, I listen to all kinds (ok maybe except for hardcore rock/metal). I just have to be in the mood. So I will -all jokes aside- go from 3 weeks of listening to Ed Sheeran, to EDM, to the 1975, to K-pop and then to Hip-Hop Jazz. This also applies to books. I’m always happy to recognize books I loved so much at the time.
And without a doubt I will go on forever trying to recall why I liked it. And I will gladly receive recommendations of all kinds.
I really believe that even the smallest towns in this world, have as much colour to show as any metropolitan city illuminated in thousands of LED lights. This would also explain my excitement and enthusiasm towards moving to new places. I used to be scared of moving to a small town, since I’ve been a big city girl all my life. But maybe you only confine yourself, by believing the boundaries of a place, are yours too.
outlook on life
I believe in the act of being grateful, for all the things you get to see, to experience, to know and love. I don’t mean to be cheesy, but I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, and where I get to be today. There are times when I really think my life is falling apart. When I really think any efforts I ever made, have no value at all. But when they said, that sometimes things must fall apart, to fall into place … They must have been right. Right? Right.
