Hobby is an activity of human to entertain that we have interested in doing it, and can do it in a long time, or maybe our whole life. It is hard to know my hobbies, i think so, because i am a changeful person, i used to write diary 5 or 6 years ago, and i quit after someone whom i believe read those things i wrote; i used to swim a lot, but when it was cold, i did not like to swim anymore; i used to climb mountain, too, and i did not want to do alone, but there was no one could do it with me. After a long time, i guess that my hobbies now are: sleeping, listening to the music, reading and smiling.
Maybe you will feel strange when you read the word "sleeping", 'cause to many people, it is a natural activity, you certainly do it, but to me, it is really a hobby, i think so. I like sleeping, and at my house, my mom always complains that i sleep too much, anytime i stay in my room, i can sleep immediately. That time is my own time for imaginations and dreams, i can imagine everything i want, i can dream everything i love, i can be a star, can be a super heroin, i can fly, can be a wild cat, be a big wind, a princess, a devil, i can be and do everything in my own world! Isn't it great?!
When i feel comfortable and relax, i will release myself, but to sleep, i have to read something or listen to some songs. My favorite books are comics, i often read them whenever i feel sad or want to hide from something, but i also read newspapers, magazines, novels and short stories. I still remember the first novel that i had read, "No family" of Hector Malot, it is really good, it attracted me totally, it was when i am in grade 4 and i completely love it! It is a present from my dad for no reason, an unforgettable gift! And with reading, i can realize many sweet things that i missed in my real life; make me think more about human, about life, about lots of things happen in this world.
Almost everyone love music, it connect different people together, it gives you passion, happiness, fun, feelings and peace. I enjoy in many kinds of music, but the one i think suits me best is songs with no caption, i mean, alike symphony, but not really symphony. I like "Koi" of Kitaro, "Songs from a secret garden", "Annie's song", "A girl with smile", "Unchained Melody" and many songs of Giovanni Marradi and Richard Clayderman. They make me fall asleep easily and make me feel peaceful a lot, may be you should try once? :)
About smiling, i do not know why, but it is really my greatest hobby, i like a sentence like this:" When you were born, you cried and everybody smiled. Live well to smile when you die, and everybody will cry". And i will live well to make you remember me :)

My class in UTE!
I had never been far away from home since i was a little child. My childhood goes with my parent's protection, because i used to be the only child in my house for a long time, and i do not have much friends. Getting into high school and university is a big turning - point to me! I am getting friendlier and more sociable, i am having more and more good friends, i am enjoying the best and the sweetest memories at this great time of my life! Actually, when i know i was accepted to get into UTE, at that time, my parent told me i would go to study abroad, and i had no special feelings when i heard that. I intended to stay at home, buy stuff, hang out with friends, improve my English and wait until the day i fly to another world, but my mom told me:"You should come to UTE, too. You have tried hard to get into the university, and to prepare for the days after, you should go!". And i come here! At first, i hated this school very much! I hated my class, too! I am quite conservative and stubborn, a weak point, everything is too new for me to get used to, and because i had never been living alone, individual and without my parent, so i was having a hard time to pass, and worse, i have no friends, again! My face always make other people feel antipathetic easily, but, all my stories have "but" :)), luckily, i have the cutest friends, who came to say "Hi!" with me first when i was sitting alone; i have the best friends, who were always ready to help me, though at that time, they didn't know much about me; i have the most sincere friends, who said "Miss you" when i was absent, "Love you" when they really wanted to hug me, and "We believe that you will succeed" when they knew that i would go far away. I regret that i could not stay with my class longer, and only when you are going to miss something, you realize that how much you love them. My university and my class have taught me a lot, make me become better and more individual; give me more knowledge, feelings and memories, i will not forget anything that i had and be having with my school and my class, really love you, miss you, and i believe that you will succeed, too! Wish you all the best!

Friendship.
I was told a story named "Anatomy of Friendship" a long time ago, it is really meaningful; therefore, i will tell you you about that story:
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body, and through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
She said, "No. Many people are deaf; however, you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
She looked at me, and she said, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face, she told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in our life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."
She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?"
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
When i heard this story, i told myself: "Friends are a gift that God gave us, and to all my friends, i just want to say that thank you for believing in me when I found it difficult to believe in myself...
for saying what I've needed to hear sometimes, instead of what I've wanted to hear....
for siding with me....
and for giving me another side to consider.
Thank you for opening yourself up to me....
for trusting me with your thoughts and disappointments and dreams....
for knowing you can depend on me and for asking my help when you've needed it.
Thank you for putting so much thought and care and imagination into our friendship...
for sharing so many nice times and making so many special memories with me.
Thank you for always being honest with me...
being kind to me...
being there for me.
Thank you for being a friend to me in so many meaningful ways."

Job in the future!
Everybody has their own decision about future job, the job that will feed them and their family (1). Nowadays, people prefer taking commerce, marketing or I.T course ‘cause they think that these courses are easier to get a job than the others (1). But I have chosen a job that I always want to become since I was young (1), it is Multimedia Designer (5).
Multimedia design is a job of creation and imagination (5). This job is the mixture of design, I.T and a little marketing (5) but design take the most. The main work of multimedia design is creating concept, artwork, 3D images,… (5) to support games, marketing, web pages, advertisement,… (2) it is really complicated (4). Multimedia design requires people who have creation, independent and some freaky of course.
The first reason I choose this job is my dream (5). When I was a kid, I liked to draw and paint so much that my parents buy me a colored pencils box for my birthday (2) and let me study art for 6 years. Up to now, I am still keeping that colored pencils box.
The second reason is multimedia design is less competitive and earn more money than other jobs. The number of people study commerce, marketing or I.T are very huge, it is very hard to get a job after graduating when everybody studies the same course and same percentage of applying for a job. The number of people study multimedia design can be counted with 2 hands, it really have less competitive and get a job is no more a big problem (3). Started salary of a multimedia designer in some advertise companies is about 16 to 20 million VND, it is quite a large number for starter (3).
In conclusion, it will take about 2-3 years to become a multimedia designer and it is as hard as any other jobs. Actually, the cost of studying multimedia design is very expensive (4), it is about 30 000 USD but it is really worth (3+4). I will pursuit my dream and future no matter what (1).

The person whom i admire the most!
The person whom i love, respect and admire the most in my whole life, no one else is my father (1+5)! The greatest father i have ever known ! He is very tall, handsome (in my opinion :D), tender, patient and intelligent (4). Though everybody says that parents, especially fathers, always love their sons much more than daughters, but in my shoes, it is really in the contrary (1+4). My father loves me the most, gives all the best thing for me, sacrifices everything just to ensure i will be in the best conditions, satisfies my requirements though how complicated they are (1+2)! He is my idol (5)! My favourite hero since i was a little girl (5)!
I have dreamed about a day that i will love and marry a man as great as my father, and we will live happy together forever (3)! I can not imagine a day that my father will leave me alone in this world, i have cried many times when i hear and watch the video clip of a song names "Hurt", that song makes me think much about my responsibilities with my father, my parent and my family (1). So i want to take this time out, to express that "I love you" to my daddy, my mommy, my family, i am too shy to say directly but it does not mean that i do not love them (1+3). Daddy, mommy, little brother, grandmother, i do love you very much, from the bottom of my heart! Wish you could smile together and forever!
