DISAGREEMENT TO CYBER SECURITY

Dear viewers, The government in my country want to "LOCALIZE" information on social media by their approval to CYBER SECURITY.  Candidly speaking, sooner or later, we, Vietnamese citizens and other foreigners in my country, WILL BE BLOCKED from Youtube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, VOA, BBC, CNN,... and so on.  We, the Vietnamese citizens and other foreigners in my country, WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS to speak out our opinions or share information.  We WON'T ABLE TO FREELY CONTACT friends or relatives from all over the world. We have NO FREEDOM to access valuable resources on the internet. Every single movement will be WATCHED and CONTROLLED by authorities. More than that, our PERSONAL INFO will be LEAKED.  Therefore, please help us to stop this chaos. Please help us to reach MORE AND MORE signatures on this petition: DISAGREEMENT TO CYBER SECURITY From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. Sincerely, Rachel (Phuong Tam)

A soothing and highly addictive song. I love the way he held his family tightly at the end. I love the message that women have the right to enjoy their life! ^^ 'cause I am a woman, too.

This is how I made my friends happy in their birthdates! ^^ By some papers, glue and colors. By cameras and photoshop.

2016 vs. 2018

Image
There was a year that I was "lucky twice": pass 2 summer exchanges at the same time. The 2016 GKS for ASIAN SCIENs and the 2016 POSTECH Open Lam program. I chose POSTECH because I could do Chemistry experiments there and dropped GKS because Animal Science was the only provided area. In the end, my choice was right to me as I gained so much valuable experience: up-to-date facilities, convoluted research areas, connection, and more important, my vision was widened. I've always appreciate that short-term program as it did have great influence on me. Recently, I haven't been so fortunate like before. I've failed quite bad that in a moment I somehow lose all of my confidence. I had always think that I was a loser, until my friends kept asking me on scientific terms, juniors in my university kept asking me for advice to apply for summer exchanges. I started to gain back my confidence, start to think that my performance on "papers" (I mean the applic...

Những ngày không vui

Những ngày này tâm trạng của tôi thật sự không tốt. Mà dùng từ "không tốt" cũng chưa đủ, phải nói là rất tệ. Tôi đã khóc rất nhiều khi nhận được email "Thank you for your interest..." chứ không phải là "Congratulations!" từ ngôi trường mà tôi yêu thích. Bật khóc nức nở, không thể kiềm được. Đó là một sự thất bại. Một tin không vui mà mỗi lần nghĩ đến nó, tôi đều cảm thấy lo sợ, mắt hơi ướt. Tôi lo sợ rồi đây tôi sẽ phải đối mặt với nhiều lần như vậy nữa. Gia đình an ủi. Mẹ thì ôm tôi vào lòng và vỗ về, giúp tôi xoa dịu. Nhưng bố tôi thì quát lên, "Đã nói bao nhiêu lần là phải nói nó chuẩn bị tâm lý đi, đâu phải lúc nào nó cũng thành công!". Tôi thì lại càng khóc to hơn sau những lời như vậy. Tôi biết chứ, tôi biết rõ chứ. Nhưng vì đó là trường tôi yêu thích nhất, là trường tôi bỏ sức nhiều nhất, mà không thành, nên tôi đau lòng nhiều! "Nín đi! Đừng có khóc! Khóc là hại thần kinh đó. Mạnh mẽ lên!". Sao lại khuyên nhau như vậy chứ...

My GRE practice

***Warning: This post is not on any purpose of promotion! Please don't misunderstanding! Today is two days after my official GRE test day, and I would like to deliver thanks to one of the GRE applications, which had allowed me to study despite of the busy schedule of working. My effort was measured through many type of lessons (and questions, certainly), even though there were some types really daunted me with their difficulties. After all, thanks to it, I overcame the intense GRE test day and take one step closer to my dream. The displayed score is close to my actual ones. I'm going to share detailed instructions for beginners who want to study GRE thoroughly as well as my GRE experience during heavy schedule of working. I hope it would meet your expectations.

2. Academic performance and 3. Curriculum activities

As continued from previous posts, here are some notes about Academic performance and Curriculum activities to prepare for scholarship or studying abroad. 2. Academic performance You will always need a good record whether you intend to apply for undergraduate or graduate program. If not, nothing can verify your academic performance, and hence, your ability to study WELL in an advanced educating environment. Therefore, try to get good score as many as possible. You may fail some courses, or get bad scores in come tangential but compulsory subjects (for example, philosophy or psychology) but please keep in mind that the GPA must be balanced eventually. In fact, you must reach good scores in your targeted subjects (A, A+ or 9/10) so as to have final GPA at about 8/10 or above. And with that GPA, you are able to apply for opportunities to study abroad. During my chemistry undergraduate program, I'd never failed but had some low scores due to my lack of interest and my carel...
