I’ve had a bit of free time lately (after the nice sleep this afternoon), so I decided to take a chance to write some things about the first year in USA. Unbelievable, it’s a year already. Time runs so fast. Everything have been changing, even myself – I had become lazy and busy with lots of things, so I hadn't updating those funny and boring stories throughout the year . Last year, when I took the first foot into this country, the only thing in my mind’s that it’s just the time to challenge myself and to be independent in life. I’d like say thank you to USA because it taught the great lesson that everything’s not free and we had to fight for that . I was working a lot more hours, going to play basketball with friends and trying to find some fun from the internet. I use Facebook a lot right now; even it’s the first social network that I have been using since 2005.

Language’s the most difficult thing right here and I do practice every day to catch out what American said. To be honest, my voice’s weak and it’s hard to pronounce some words In English and it also happen in Vietnamese. I even feel difficult to communicate with most of Vietnamese people around here, especially in my working place. They said that I speak too fast and it’s hard to listen. When you get hard, the lucky will come to give a chance. I met a lot of nice friends over here, especially Mỹ, a Đạt, Nhi, Thịnh and Hồng and their friends such as Huân, Phát hí, Minh mập – I had many great times with all stupid friends of mine at Lee's sandwiches. Thanks you guys for that moment. I appreciated it and those of my childhood friends Duy Phúc and the fucking guy from California: Trí mập. Cậu Trung or Ông già‘s the well know person over here . Love his belly. Thanks God, they’re great. But I only feel comfortable when talking with Thịnh and Hồng. It was nice to speak to a “Vietnamese native speaker” because of their accents’ closely likes my accent; we were born in the same place: Chợ Lớn. It makes things so much easier for me. Duy Phúc has been here since 2002, so we had a gap between our accents, his voice becomes stronger and a little bit harder, but it’s fine to use English; in this case, he has the problem with my accent . I don’t know about Trí mập, but I hope that we‘ll have a chance to meet next time.

I'm slowly getting starting to get settled here, even it’s a year already because I don’t have a car and I don’t want to take a bus for traveling around here. I no longer fear playing basketball with the African American because not all of them are strong and fast, I even can touch the rim with a simple jumping, I’m not lazy anymore and feel stronger when walking home on my little feet . American takes my basketball skill to a whole new level; I can make a jump shoot and even the alley ups, pass over lots of people and run faster in 1vs1 – full court match. But I still love playing volleyball; Volleyball's the best sport in the world. I'm gonna be crazy with that great sport. I haven't been playing Volleyball for a year. Everything’s changing too fast and I don't know what I should to keep them come back - My girl, my time and even my age. I got so many things over here, but the price to pay for that’s too expensive. Myself - I ain't going nowhere before getting them back - my time and my age. It’s the great sport in my mind because I love the moment when I play volleyball with those childhood friends in middle and high school. The American’s life‘s great, but I still remember the moment when I were with you – my love. Where are you right now? Somewhere around here, right? It’s the notification of something, isn’t it? Hope it’s the stupid feeling of mine. It seems to be the rain season’s coming to Houston. Like last year, the time when I left Saigon to discover the new world. I haven’t seen the Saigon rain for a year. My hometown, my childhood time and family are here. It’s just the sad moment. However, if you ask me about my decision; I have to say that I love this time. We live for the current time, not the past.

After a year, I probably can pay for my life a little bit, like the daily living fee and tuition fee and I’m proud to be about that. It means nothing to someone; but it’s the best thing to me because I’m who I’m and I have the right to decide my life‘s in the future. Right now, I’m writing a note and getting decides a new plan for a year. Everything must be changing. I will try to save time to do something useful than wasted time to do these stupid things in the past.
