THE
12 VIETNAMESE ZODIAC SIGNS ARE ALMOST THE SAME AS THE CHINESE ONES. BUT
IN VIETNAMESE, THE CAT IS REPRESENTED INSTEAD OF THE RABBIT.
Step by step, quietly but steadily, does the time pass for the old year to end, the old months to cease.
The
time fund of 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, 9 seconds will picturesquely
return to a Zero. (There are particularly 8,784 hours in Leap Years).
A new cycle starts again: Summer finished, Autumn / Fall passed away, Winter moved forwards, then new Spring is going to arrive.
It
depends on every Geological Part, there are, therefore, differences in
the weather & climatic conditions, and the seasons differently vary.
As in The USA which is usually considered to have snow in Winters but there are places where "Snow falls down in Mid-Summers ..." for "You bring snow to cover up Roses ...", "That 's why I love Winters. Oh, my Winters ...". And there are areas in which there is no snow but only the falling rain. "You
visited me in the Winter evening. You visited me in the rainy evening,
stretching in the continuous rain were slippery & deserted streets
...", "Hearing rain dropping at this place, I miss the rain at the
distant land. Rain flies into me, flies into small drops ...".
And
there is also a region where you can bury two Kyo eggs under the hot
sand at midnoons of Winters, only after 15 minutes, will you have
cooked, hot & delicious eggs.
In
The Motherland, Vietnam, there are two regions that have distinguishing
characters. The weather clearly divides into four seasons in The
Northern Region. It seems as if the heat baked human bodies in Summers
and the coldness cut skins in Winters. "Who loves you in the cold
sad nights ? And from whom, cherished & affectionate words were sung
?...", "I have a dream of the loving family in the Winter night ...". There is only one place where you can admire the snow falling, although there isn t as much as in The Western Countries.
But in The Southern Region, there are only two:
Rainy Season:
"No
matter how hard it rains, I d like to accompany you till the end of my
life. Even if clouds or storms drift here ...", "The falling rain makes
saying Goodbye more difficult. And the long way becomes wet in the rain
...", "Does the rain drop & is the sunlight faded on the love I
offered you once ?...".
Sunny Season:
"I
walk in the warm sunshine of Saigon, but it suddenly becomes cool.
Because you re wearing Ha Dong Silk Dress ...", "You pass through the
park with the wide open & innocent eyes. As shimmering as glass is
the yellow sunlight ...", "The sky germinates the sunshine to make
clouds pink ...", "Is the sunlight as rose as your lips ? Is the rain as
sad as your eyes ?...", "My love like the sunshine takes you to the
stream of dream ...", "I landed at the wharf when the sunshine in the
afternoon hadn t been discoloured yet ...", "I miss your steps when the
sunlight is still remained on the veranda. Your cheeks look ivory, your
long hair becomes gently entangled ...".
If
we want to reach Springs, we ought to overcome Winters. The human life
is one year older for us to obtain more experience in life.
But
the souvenirs - either the good or the bad - are and therefore unable
to sink into the remote past. They will hide themselves somewhere in the
secret corner of our souls & pursue us till the time closing our
eyes, we say Adieu to our lives.
For us
to be more experienced & more mature because we tasted more flavours
of human life: the sweetness, the bitterness, the sourness, the
spiciness ...
No matter what it
was, I do hope the anxieties, sorrows inside you, inside me will
definitely disappear along with The Old Year for the joys of The New
Year to take place absolutely.
"Spring
already arrived, Spring came. There, a lot of Spring beams shine
spreadily & immensely !...", "The sky in Spring is so cheerful
today. I stop wandering to come back home. My feet are stepping on the
streets fully covered with fallen Peach Flowers ...", "Who visits The
Country Of Peach Blossoms, please stop by the lake to listen to the
afternoon dropping. Recognize the coldness make its way into your soul.
Clouds slowly float away in the afternoon of Spring ...", "And The
Spring in your eyes is The Spring I look for ever & ever ...", "I
search for The spring in life . Winter passed away then Spring comes,
your eyes become beautiful with the sky & stars for us to miss each
other ...".
- Getting along with the happy Spring is peace. The New Year arrives with honour & wealth. What was upset disappeared. For the best of the whole year to locate.
- Green buds, yellow Apricot blossoms, I wish all of you good health, good luck, happiness, new success & prosperity in The New Year.
- Everything starts a new beginning with The New Year coming. May The Almighty God bless you all on anything you have been expecting. May your days be filled with happiness & joy in God s love. Best wishes to all of your families.
"Fresh & cheerful
days get along with The New Spring. Our Souls are keen on joys to live
long. The Spring comes back with plenty of colourful flowers. We d love
to pick thousands of Roses ...", "From the beginning of the Spring till
the end of the year, I wish full happiness to your families. You ll be
promoted on the path of fame & wealth ..."
