For IHP Batch 2021

At last! - many of you have said After finishing all the course works and successfully defended All your efforts and hard works are recognized and appreciated And the years of study have finally ended

Less than a year has passed since we arrived in this university Many of us cannot forget the first time we met you in IHP We can clearly remember how you welcomed us so warmly And that’s the start of moments that are happy

From classes, to seminars, field trip, hiking, and even sports We joined together to show our supports Because we are not just classmates but cohort And now you are leaving us with your passport

Indeed, time flies so fast Another batch is coming while you guys are leaving us Nevertheless, we were able to make memories that last And we hope that in your next journey, it will be steadfast

As you go back to your home country In Vietnam, Indonesia, Belize, Honduras, Malaysia, Philippines, Mongolia, or Eswatini We hope that we still keep in touch during your availability And update each other of our achievements and responsibility

Now, we have come to the end To say thank you and goodbye to all of you our friends We will surely miss you and in our hearts your names will be written And the things we learned from all of you will never ever be forgotten

Zhídào wǒmen zàicì xiāngyù (Till we meet each other again) Bon voyage!

My online diary

Welcome  to my nearly daily introspection, musings, blog, and life's unfolding drama (a.k.a. my online diary) - RGO June 18, 2024:   Hi, I have no update for more than a month so I will write long haha. I was so busy. Before I went to the Philippines, I had to prepare for a presentation. On May 31st, I presented the results of the first aim of my dissertation. It was a stressful week, but thank God I was able to share the first part of my research. After that, I went back to my country with my friend Beth to join a medical mission and tour her around the Philippines. It was another great experience with her and some friends who were my students. I really enjoyed the company and praise God for these wonderful people. We tried to give Beth a little taste of what the Philippines is like. I let her experience our public transportation, such as the jeepney and tricycle. Then, after a week, we came back to Taiwan. And just yesterday, she left 😢, she went back to the US. I wanted to shar

Exploring Hanoi and Beyond: Discovering the Wonders of Vietnam

I recently traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam. The short yet incredibly rewarding trip prompted me to share my experiences and the places I visited. I arranged my flight ticket through the TrekEarth Travel and Tours. Their exceptional accommodation and assistance made the process hassle-free. They helped me secure a comprehensive package, which covered essentials such as accommodations, round-trip private transfers, a Halong Bay excursion, meals, guided tours, and entrance fees. Upon arrival at the airport, I was warmly received by a representative who escorted me to the Lenid Tho Nhuom Hotel, where I spent the night.  On the first day, I explored the renowned old train street, making the most of the free time. The subsequent day commenced with the tour bus picking us up from the hotel and transporting us to the Tuan Chau International Port. From there, we embarked on the Le Journey Cruise for our Halong Bay adventure. Halong Bay is renowned for its captivating landscapes that evoke images of

Embracing the Journey: Overcoming Bitterness and Embracing God's Grace

Image
Introduction: Waking up with a clearer mind, I found myself reaching for my phone to seek a glimmer of inspiration for the day (check the verse of the day that Pastor posted). Little did I know that the verse I stumbled upon would carry a profound message that would resonate deeply within me. Acts 20:24 spoke directly to my heart, reminding me of the purpose and resilience that can guide us through even the darkest times. Acts 20:24  -  However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;  my only aim is to finish the race  and complete the task  the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. The Struggle: Life has its way of pushing us to our limits, and I've often found myself grappling with overwhelming emotions and negativity. In moments of distress, my coping mechanism had been to escape – to leave behind the turmoil rather than confront it. But as the weight of various factors pressed down on me, I realized that this approach only perpetuate
