Lunar New Year 2025

 Red Envelop

    The Lunar New Year is around the corner! I was busy preparing the food as well as decorating the house. I shopped for food to worship the altar as usual. I pray for the good health and the success in both career and studying. Usually, it's my mom who clean up the house and prep the food, however, we got a sad news so mom will be staying with Grandma for about two-three months based on her health conditions. I did not complaint or get upset about anything because I knew that we have been through a lot this year. So, I would like this new year to be easy on me!

    This year I got the job working with the kids, so I think of giving them some lucky money to wish them luck on everything. Though I spent out a lot this month, still I felt at peace in my heart. I'm happy when seeing they're happy as well. So I started prepping the red envelop for the kids, it was limited due to my budget so I just give the kids in Learning Support and Ms.Fazz's class; they were the most sweetest kids to me. I even give Ms.Wiggins and Mrs. Taylor bigger lucky money than others for wishing to stay healthy and happy. They are two of my favorite teachers, they helped me a lot, Mrs.Taylor always hug me and I needed that hug the most because I've never got a hug from my family members due to the awkwardness we have in one another. However, I always got my hug whenever I see her, she's like my grandma and she's so warm and friendly to me.They were so emotional when I give them the red envelop, I was so happy that they value it. I appreciated them both! 

    So I gave out the red envelops, my lead teacher, Mr.B was questioning of how generous I was and he said I could have got them a dollar.  And I understood what he said, just for luck and we don't need that big value money. However, to me, it was from my heart and I want them to be able to treat themselves a snack or a drink with that $5. And Ms.Fazz's class got $1 red envelop, at least they can have some candy out of that. I prepped these red envelop with my heart and I don't expect any in return. I love to do good things and spread out the kindness to people. The meaning of red envelop is for luck and wish for all the best. SO I spent a quite out of budget but I am happy with that. Therefore, no matter how much I spent this month, they're all for the sincerity of mine and want everyone to feel loved and valued! That was my pre-Lunar New Year. Within a few minutes, I will be literally starting the new year soon. Thus, I will need to adjust my behavior and change to practice new hobbies! 

    I felt so good after giving them the gists of Lunar New Year! I just want to do something productive and kind of like rewarding the kids and the teachers for being a hard workers throughout the year.

MOM

  Emotional Trauma      Since little, I was a good kid who always follow my mom's demand. I did not think much until I grew up and our family moved to America to live. My mom was who I always afraid of, it might be due to the anger from my mom. I do not know how to describe what my feeling toward mom right now, it's so strange and it could not be healed. My mom always have something to share and it's always negative or troublesome. I think maybe I suffered from depression and anxiety in the past, so I could never handle my mom's share, her question will always be: "Are you free? I have something to say/ share!?" I went ahead and tell her to text me what the matter about. Although I texted her that but somehow it triggered my emotion, my heart aroused so fast that I could not stay still while waiting for her text.      I don't know what to say, I just knew that whenever mom has texted me wanting to share her feeling or telling somethings, it triggers my...

Oldest Child's Feeling

 Parents' Conflicts      As an oldest child in the family, I always be the one who have to be in the middle in my parents' conversation. It could be saying that I'm their mail person, they used me to talk to each other. Since I was little, my understanding about this marriage was exhaustion. I have no clue how come my parents could be married when they're completely opposite in personality.       I was only six when they decided to separate due to a minor conflict between my mother and the sister-in-law, and my father did not defend my mother but stood in silence, thus, she left. As time went by, we were raised by our beloved aunty, she was my mother indeed. I could say that I literally had no bonding with my mother since little until I was ten, had my first menstrual cycle. My mother still didn't make peace with the family members, she had lots of hatred toward them. I just couldn't understand because those conflicts were the past, still, she wou...

Brother's Big Day

Little Brother's Big Day   My little brother, Tai, is a calm 20 years old guy who has been through lots of changes in his life. Since birth until five years old, Tai did not live with his mother after he turned six years old due to our parents's separation. Due to their conflict, I became his both sister and mom since we were living with our dad's family. Luckily, we got raised by our beloved aunty, she was our indeed mother. I was also played a part of raising him and always beside him when he in needed.  His learning ability was not as strong as mine since we were in school in Vietnam. I understood that he doesn't like school that much but he had to go to school for his education because he needed to. In July 2015, our family were lucky enough to begin our new chapter in America. My brother was in a culture shock for awhile until he got into high school. He had a hard time adapting new school,  new friend and even the food shock. After that we were happy for him to gr...
