This is my San Francisco

San Francisco embodies my new home after migrating from Ho Chi Minh City for one year and eight months

San Francisco embodies all the attentive and dedicated teachers, at Mission High School, who aid me in my learning

San Francisco embodies my high school where I learn English, Science, History and arts

San Francisco embodies a better home for me because of a lot of good food: burritos, Lasagnas and crispy stir-fry beef noodle

San Francisco embodies the hard workers whose purpose is to get more vacation time to travel to different exotic countries

San Francisco embodies a lot of smart phone and smart people who work on presentation for big corporations

San Francisco embodies a national monument, Golden Gate Bridge, where tourists capture to show to their family and friends

San Francisco embodies the neighborhood where I live in, downtown in the Soma, with my family

San Francisco embodies a lot of people who speak and write a lot of different languages: Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, English and many more 

San Francisco embodies a lot of movie theaters such as AMC Theater that shows American movies throughout the year including the holidays

San Francisco embodies many new things and experiences:  school, VYDC, CYC where I am allow to develop and grow.

Quote of the Day

"I wish I would've listened and not be so bad"

From: Sorry, Blame it on me- Akon
 This quote tell me how my life is:
I remember the first time I come to the U.S my mom teach me how to study English but I didn't listen to my mom. So I played video games instead of focusing on my studies. When I  got to high school, I didn't know that much English. The lesson I learned is not to be lazy and play video games too much.

The things that I can do to study and practice English:
1. Conversation Group at CYC
2. Life Skill workshop at VYDC
3. SAT program at City College
4. Math and English tutoring after school at Mission High
5. Hang out with my friend at VYDC and at school
6. On weekend I went to the library get some books and English movies 

Sorry, Blame it on me- Akon

As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done
And things that haven't occurred yet
And things that they don't want to take responsibility for

I'm sorry for the times that I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I'm sorry for the times that I had to go
I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know

That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I'm sorry for the times I disrespect

I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done
I'm sorry I'm not always there for my sons
I'm sorry for the fact that I am not aware
That you can't sleep at night when I am not there

Because I'm in the streets like every day
I'm sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I am so proud to call you my girl

I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show

If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I?ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

I'm sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn't know what to do
I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from dad

When you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though pops treated us like kings
He got a second wife and you didn't agree

He got up and left you there all alone
I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own
I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief
I'm sorry that your son was once a thief

I'm sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would've listened and not be so bad
I'm sorry that your life turned out this way
I'm sorry that the Feds came and took me away

I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show

If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I?ll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

I'm sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I?m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani

I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy shouldn't never let her out that young

I'm sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage?
In a 21 and older club they say

Why doesn't anybody wanna take blame?
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I'm just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I'll take that blame

Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you
I'll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

The message about this song: Akon trying to learn more responsibility, and everything he do is affect people around him. He also want to apologize for anything he have done, he leave his wise and his son and he gone. That he not pay attention to his wife and haven't personal quality, because his not knowing that his wife worried about him. Then his get some problem and he hold someone responsible.Also his dad want to have a good family but disappointment, because he was travel with his musician Gwen Stefani and he dance really sex with the girl who underage on the Club Zen. So the Verizon call him by the shame name, and that he need to take responsibility for.

The Poem of me

One Place For Me To Settle

By Bryan Tran


Vietnam reminds me of my hood
Vietnam reminds me of pho, fried rice, and butter chicken.
Vietnam reminds me of internet games and drinking coffee
Vietnam reminds me of sweet voices from the Karaoke microphones.
Vietnam reminds me of big cows grazing in the countryside
Vietnam reminds me of the taste of chao long
Vietnam reminds me of president Ho Chi Minh
Vietnam reminds me of motorcycles
Vietnam reminds me of my friends farming
Vietnam reminds me of karate kicks
Vietnam reminds me of all the superstars singers performing on TV
Vietnam reminds me of my cousins misbehaving in the dark

This is my high school friend and the news from my principal. ^^! ~~~~~~~~`~~~~~~~~

Poem from my bro ^^! In Vietnamese and English!!!!!!!!

Khẽ trôm nhìn ấy thâm một lần nữa, để rồi tớ tự hứa với lòng sẽ quên ấy đi. Bởi vì tớ biết chúng ta đi trên 2 con đường hoàn toàn khác nhau và tớ cũng biết một điều nữa... con đường ấy đi... không chỉ riêng mình ấy...

Ấy lạnh? Có người cho ấy bàn tay ấm!
Ấy khóc? Có người cho ấy bờ vai!
Ấy ngã? Có người đỡ ấy đứng lên!
Nhưng... đau thật đau! Người đó không phải là tớ!

Tớ thích ấy! Cũng chẳng biết vì sau nữa? Tình yêu mà, đâu ai biết mình sẽ yêu ai và khi nào tình yêu đến!

Khi ấy buồn, ấy khó khăn... người ấy cần luôn luôn không phải là tớ? Chính xác là ấy không muốn có "nợ nần" gì với tớ. Tại sao vậy chứ?

Ấy cần người yêu ấy...? Hiểu ấy...? Thật lòng với ấy...?

Tớ không chắc người con trai ấy luôn yêu có làm được điều đó không nhưng tớ biết có một người khác, một người thật lòng có thể làm tất cả vì ấy... Là tớ....

Nhưng. Ấy nào có cần tớ!

Tớ biết làm gì khác hơn được chứ?

"Hạnh phúc...
.... có lúc là nhìn em cười vui trong 1 chút,.... có lúc là nhìn em ngồi yên trong 1 chút,.... có lúc là được xẹt ngang em 1 chút,.... có lúc là nhìn em nằm trong lòng ai kia 1 chút,....
.... hạnh phúc buồn
"

Ngốc lắm phải không? Ừh thì... tớ biết ấy không thích người ngốc... như tớ, tớ biết những câu ấy chỉ là tự gạt bản thân! Nhưng tớ chấp nhận... tớ chấp nhận vì tớ yêu ấy...

Nhưng ấy àh... Ấy có biết tớ là một thằng dối trá?... Tớ cứ cười khi mà tim tớ đau... cứ vui khi mà nước mắt đang chảy ngược...
Tớ xin lỗi... tớ.. phải qua lưng bước đi thôi... Hy vọng... ấy sẽ thật sự hạnh phúc với người mà ấy cho là có thể mang hạnh phúc đến cho ấy...

Trông chờ gì nữa ở một tình yêu vụn vỡ của một thằng nhóc 17 tuổi chứ! Thời học trò mà... Ai chẳng một lần cảm nắng... chẳng có một người để nhớ..... để yêu...?

Tớ tin là tớ sẽ quên ấy...

Thời gian sẽ giúp tớ...

Thật đấy!!!

Mà như vậy cũng tốt! Mất một thứ mà mình chưa có được sẽ đỡ đau hơn có rồi lại để vụt mất khỏi tay! Phải không?
Thà tớ chỉ dám nhìn ấy cười, ấy vui còn hơn là có ấy để rồi một ngày trở thành 2 người xa lạ... thà chưa bao giờ nắm được bàn tay ấy còn hơn đã nắm được nhưng lại phải buông tay để nhớ hơi ấm từ bàn tay đã mất...

***

Quay lưng.

Tớ bước đi...

.................thật nhanh...

Để.... quên ấy...

Thật.

Đừng khóc vì bất cứ chuyện gì nha!

Vì tớ sợ....

....Tớ... sẽ... chùn bước....

***

Trong đêm tối có một người lạ chạy trong cơn mưa....
Hắn chạy thật nhanh... chạy thật nhanh mà không biết ngày mai, con tim hắn sẽ ra sao?... Hắn chỉ biết rằng... hắn chạy thật nhanh để quên một người... hắn chạy thật nhanh để nụ cười nở trên môi một người... chạy thật nhanh để những mảnh ghép ghép nên trái tim hắn sẽ không còn nguyên vẹn.... vì một người.... hắn chạy thật nhanh để một người giẫm lên nỗi đau của hắn mà cho niềm vui với một người khác... Và... hắn chạy thật nhanh... chạy thật nhanh... để... cho... một-người-hạnh-phúc...!

Bye-bye!!!

He whispered Trom looked deep again, so I promised I will not forget her heart away.Because I know we went on two completely different path and I also know one more thing ... the way it goes ... I was not alone ...
He cold? Some people warm her hands!Cry? Some said that her shoulders!He fall? Someone help him up!But ... real pain pain! That person is not me!
I like it! Did not know because after that? Love that, no one will know you love someone and when it comes to love!
At that sad, that hard ... they need not always me? Exactly would not want to be "debt" nothing to me. Why is that?
He should love it ...? Understand that ...? Honest with him ...?
I'm not sure that his son has always loved to do that but I do not know another person, a person can truly do it all because he ... As I ....
But. What he needs me!
I know nothing more than okay?
"Happiness ....... have a look at them in a little laugh ,.... have a look at them to sit still in a bit ,....sometimes as a little child was flashed across ,.... I have looked at the other one is located in the heart of a little ,........ happy sad"
Stupid is not it? Yeah, the ... I know he did not like the stupid ... like me, I know but he just brushed yourself free! But I accept ... I accepted because I love him ...

What else expect in a love of a broken down 17-year-old boy instead! The time that students ... Who did not once feel the sun ... no one to remember ..... to love ...?
I believe that I will forget ...
Time will help me ...
It's true!
That so well! Losing is one thing that I would not have been less painful to have it flashed back to take off your hands! Right?Rather I only dared look at her smile, it's more fun to have him for one day became two strangers ... would rather have never grasp that hand than grasped but must let go to remember the warmth from the hand has lost ...
