In this article, “Older brain really maybe a wiser brain”, by Sara Reistad-long, which appeared in New York Times on May 20, 2008, the author talks about the older brain accepts and processes the information better. According to the research, older brain tends to receive more information than young brain and tries to choose necessary information, so it’s a smart brain. Actually, from my perspective, it’s a surprised theory that it’s hard to accept because everybody thinks that older people can’t think a lot and their brain activate weakly. However, it could be a true theory that explains why older people have good answers for any difficult situations. Moreover, in the past, in the tribes, people usually chose older people to lead and choose the answers for the whole tribe. Therefore, I think this theory is true and it has been proved from the past to now.

WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT LONG DISTANT LOVE? DOES IT WORK? WHY OR WHY NOT?
There’re a lot of opinions about long distance love. Some people say it’s possible to have a long distance love : “ Absence make the heart grow fonder ”. Some others say : “Out of sight, out of mind”. It’s hard to know who is right, who is wrong, so I just want to say it from my perspective.
When I was young, I believed that it was possible because there were nothing could beat the love (?). I used to be very romantic. However, when I grow up, I think that it‘s impossible. There’re several reasons that explain why I don’t believe it.
First of all, love is based on the environment’s surrounding. The first year (or at least 2 or 3 years) they’re far away, the romantic partners fell lonely and miss each others a lot; nevertheless, they’ll be better the next year , then they get used to it, and go to school normally. Because love is uncertain and can change easily, when they see some handsome boys (or beautiful girls), they fall in love again and even don’t remember their ex-love’s face (it can happen possibly). Because their love is too far, he (she) doesn’t know everything while the other is chasing another love. My friend, who is my classmate, broke up her boyfriend and had another after one year since she came here.
Moreover, a love need the warm from the other. When one person is down, he (she) is very lonely. They, the people who is in love, always want someone make them happier and need a shoulder (or hands) to cry or depend on. Because the other doesn’t know anything, that’s when the outsides who like him (her) jump in and cheer him (her) up. He (she) fells happy because there is still someone care about them. And then, a love story begin!
Furthermore, there’re some people who are cheating their loves on purpose. When their date go far away, they have a new girlfriend (boyfriend). Although they tell everybody that they’re lonely and want to fill the hole in their heart, they still chat and call their loves who is very far now and say : “I love you” very casually. A lot of my friends when I asked them about their date, they told me that : “I have one love here and one in my own country because they don’t know anything, so it’s very easy to have another boyfriend (girlfriend)”
Therefore, I think it’s impossible to always remember the past and love the person who they can’t see everyday now. What do you think? Is it possible? Who knows!!!

MONEY AND LOVE, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT?
This is a difficult question that you'll have different answers in others opinions. From my perspective, my most important thing is money. I have several reasons in this opinion.
First of all, love is an uncertain thing. It's just a temporary felling that people have for the opposite sex base on their appearances (it occasionally bases on personalities too). Those feelings can disappear when the romantic partners's environment change or the meet a better one. For example, they involve with the permission from their own families or one have an accident,.... So it's pretty easy to cheat and have other one.
Second, money is a believable thing and actually very vital in life. Without money, you can't alive because you don't have food, clothes or anything else. When you don't have love, you can still have the other entertainments, but you don't have money, you must be homeless and hungry (maybe you can die at less). You lose this love, you can have others, but you lose money, you have nothing. In my country, they have this proverb: "Money is Gob; have money, have everything ". I like this proverb a lot!
All in all, in my opinion, money is more necessary than love. However, that's just my opinion about this topic. How about your perspective? You want money? or you will choose your love? I look forward to seeing your comments.

introduce myselt
Hi girls, boys and others (?)!
My name is Ngan, but you can call me Kim (it's better for me). I'm come from Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh (or Sai Gon` in the past). I have an older brother, parents and a cat in VN. My cat is pretty cute with her white hair and yellow eyes, I love them. I'm 16 now ,but I'll be 17 in Aug. I went here (Seattle) to study English and graduate my high school and college program. My goal is having a good job with a high salary here. I hope I can become a chemical engineer. Finally, I hope I will have a lot of friends when I study here.
I want to make my blog prettier ,but I hate taking pictures, so it's hard for me to have a picture to send to my blog. Maybe next time I'll send some pictures my friends give me. Please comment soon, I'm looking forward to seeing your email for being friends with me.
