Christmas blahs

Well, Christmas is just around the corner. Only 19 days to go. Like always it snuck up on me earlier than I intended. This year I've got lots of presents to buy..just thinking about it makes my head spin. My birthday and Christmas is so close together.. and this year I've decided to still low key.. no 20th birthday party. But that doesn't mean that I don't want my birthday and Christmas presents. Well heres my wish list this year Santa.

Đêm nay em không anh đi cùng trên phố vắng.
Đêm nay sao mưa rơi cho lòng em buốt giá.
Em đang mơ đâu đây một hình dung đã thân quen,
Kỉ niệm xưa ngọt ngào như giấc mơ.
Khi anh đang yêu em trao lời yêu ấm áp,
Sao nay anh ra đi không một câu giã từ,
Cho tim em cô đơn còn anh vui chốn nơi nào?
Lòng em đau vì anh anh biết không?
Hạnh phúc nhỏ bé vỡ nát tan vào bóng đêm lạnh lùng,
Một mình em đi bơ vơ lẻ loi nhặt ngôi sao vỡ đôi,
Nhưng hỡi anh ơi em phải làm sao để anh về đây,
Về lại cùng cuộc tình ngày nào anh đã trao.
Dù đau đớn những lúc phải khóc khóc vì trái tim vô tình,
Thì lòng em luôn mong anh mãi vui dù anh đang ở đâu,
Em sẽ ôm riêng yêu thương ngày xưa dấu trong nước mắt,
Có những nỗi đau không là giấc mơ.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of small pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes." The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now", said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions - things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else - the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first" he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the rubbish. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand".

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that, no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers".
