You guys are so good at English, I'm so jealous. I should have learnt E harder and stay away from socia media
You need not to stay away from socials media my friend. Maybe you should follow pages/sites in English, this way you get to enjoy what you love to do and improve your English at the same time. For example, try out reddit or follow facebook page about things you like in English. You would be amazed how different Vietnamese and Foreigner see a same subject. :big_smile:
I saw recent comment, which are a bit shorter than comment in first page.
Perhaps the old members are not wandering around here anymore. Most recent comments are just new guys pop in to say hello and the proceed to disappear forever.
I'm not really good at communication because I have a weird taste in hobby so I don't know what to talk about. Mostly the only thing I can do is response to comments. :smile:
Hello everyone. I'm vozer.
Aren't we all my friend. We are all on Voz here :byebye:
 
No, most of people here are still learning English. U don't need to compare yourself with other :D, social media is a good material to learn English :D
Bro, there are so many dramas on FB distract me from my study plan. So I decided to unfollow all that shitty page to keep my mind clean. Hope it works :D

Have you guys ever heard about "Subliminals", I've just read about it. This is described as a method that will change your gene, your ADN or something like that. So, listening to Subliminals music simply can change your appearance. For example It will change your eyes color, make your nose higher, your skin is more flawless or even make you smarter. Although I can't find any reliable information or science researches about it.
It's so unrealistic and hilarious to believe but there are so many people in Vietnam (especially girls and boys under 18) still believe and they even have a big group on FB to discuss about it. I'm so confused :LOL:

U should forgot or unfollow all of pages post any things related to showbiz, dramma, calebrities...

Subliminals, this is the first time I heard about this word, and I have a suspicion what you said about it as well.

some years ago, I have ever seen on FB that if you usually imagine Buddha in your mind will make your face is more beautiful, more attractive. or the news on the internet about eating brown rice can help cancer patients cured. of course, no scientific research or any statistics to prove the above info. Nowadays, there is much toxic info on the internet, we must know to protect ourselves from them by knowledge while laws system have not any proper punishment for people or a group share the toxic info
 
I saw recent comment, which are a bit shorter than comment in first page.
I also see that your comment is shorter than before, you can help this thread is more attractive by writing long paragraphs, by the way, you will help me and others here improve English skills, because everyone can learn from long paragraphs about making content, new words, grammar, sometimes we too know about new knowledge, open our mind about other countries, culture, or recall a memory of the childhood time, student time
 
TL;DR: Life is not as planned, returned home after "3 tại chỗ" but instead of home it's a hell hole.

Guys, let me tell you about my day.
A little bit background story first, I work in construction job which makes me move every few months. For this project I live with my friend, who is also an engineer, and another worker. Usually I prefer to stay alone but this province is having 2 major project at the same time. Which means it was not easy to find a house/room for rent so I had to make do with what I got. The original idea was that I and my friend share the house (2 bed rooms). But this young worker asked me if he can stay with us instead of other workers because he doesn't like drinking and those who works in construction job will know how much a group of worker drink (almost every day if you ever wonder).
This guy is a bright young (19-20) man, and I thought he might have a chance to become a workshop supervisor if he willing (which we currently lacking). So I think "why not?" and struck a deal with him: "he's free to live in the house, he's free to eat everything in the house,... All he has to do is cleaning whenever the house getting dirty". Sorry it's a little long for a background story, I'm rambling too much sometimes.
So fast forward to the last 1.5 month (~around early Aug), he had lived with me for about 10+ months and cleaned the house about 3-4 times. Usually it's me who do the cleaning, but only my room and the path to my room (yes I'm lazy lmao).
And now the story begin,
At early Aug, Covid struck Bà Rịa hard, and 16th decree was declared. We were left with 3 choices:
  1. To stay at the construction site 24/24 which is almost impossible due to the lacking of a place to shower/bath.
  2. To stay at the rent house with no idea when will it over.
  3. To stay with all the other workers and have a bus to bring everyone every morning (in case of me and my friend, we live at my boss' house)
So me and my friend went to my boss' house, and the worker dude? He decided to choose the 4th option. He went back home, at Vũng Tàu, got caught by the police paid 2 mil fine. Then he proceed to call me and ask if the company can pay for his fine.

Fast forward again, today, 16th decree was over, my friend and I, we decided it was time to go back to our rent house.
It was PM 5:00, we took the covid test, finished the reports, closed the office and went back to our sweet home. Now that 16th decree was no more, we made our plan to eat our fill , to have those ice cream that had waited for us for over a month in the so cold and lonely freezer.
But life, life is rarely what one planned.
We arrived at home, opened the door, and turned on the light. But... where is the light?? And then it struck me, that mother fucker had turned off the electricity before he left. The realization stunned me, I swore loudly and turned the electricity back up. And thus the light came, along with the scene of horror. The scene hit me first, but it was the smell, the god damn mother fucking smell that struck me the hardest. My lovely fridge, my long awaited ice cream, they had went down into a black mess of madness along with all the food we had prepared for 15th and 16th decree.
My sweet home suddenly turned into a horror house, my long day of works turned out to be not finished yet, or perhaps it had not even started. But as one of my favorite book quote says
Once you’ve got a task to do, it’s better to do it than live with the fear of it.
We brought out all the garbage bags and start shoving shit (or food, or what used to be food) into it. And then the true horror came, under those food live thousands if not millions of maggots, living and moving and wiggling maggots. But still, we did not give up, we picked everything, every animal, alive or dead, out of our long beloved fridge. But then the truth laid out before us, under all those maggots are theirs eggs, thousands and thousands of them. They were everywhere, we tried to sweep them all out but they kept appearing more and more... from inside the cold vent. That's when I said "Enough, **** it, let us throw this shit away", and so we did. We threw our beloved fridge out without saying any good bye (well my friend almost puke on it when we brought it out thou), and clean the house inside out.
It was PM 9h30, we have finished all we can, but the smell, the horror, the sadness is still there. We was exhausted and hungry (it's not like we have any stomach for it at the time too lmao). The empty space where the fridge used to be in the house is like the empty space in my heart. So we decided leave that place of sadness behind and get back to the office.
And now here I am, sharing with you my share of shitty day with my long rambling.
I don't know if anyone will read all this but I'm sorry to make you read all this shitty writing and horrible experience. I just wanted to share this horror story with someone lol.
 
And then the true horror came, under those food live thousands if not millions of maggots, living and moving and wiggling maggots.
That is a true horror. I appreciate that there is no picture.
The guy was too naive to turned off the electricity even for the fridge.
 
Maybe think about how bad it is if you lost.
maybe the reason he keeps losing his money to gambling is because he always thinked about it (the money he lost) and how he lost it. Like "i could have done better", "I should have made that call", "if I had gone all-in that spot, I would be a VND- billionaire now "....

the more he thinks about it, the more he wants to gamble to win his money back.
" Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career" - Seems true to me "Cause walking in here, I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking of how I lost it" ( Rounders)
