Hi there bubbles blog!
It's been a very while that I write a blog again, and FYI I have a 1000 words Final Project pitch due in about 1hour. Yep, and I'm blogging.
No, I'm not being lazy. Reason: I usually updated my inspiration, thoughts, things I came across on the internet onto my Facebook. But..BUT..I've just "deactivated" last night, just because I promised my two girl-friends to join them for the "who can stay away from FB the longest" so I did. And now I have no other places to update my "research" to also I know I HAVE to update my blog sometimes soon...SO HERE'S THE CHANCE.
Oh well talking about my Final Design project. Based on the feedback my tutor given me; I pitch a draft idea to him and he liked it.
The idea based on my personal thoughts and experience as a Vietnamese. I often came across these people who argued with about the fact that 'I'M NOT VIETNAMESE'.... ? What the!!!
Anyways it also derived from the issues I saw within the Vietnamese community itself; that people who immigrated here or came here as refugees- hey it's not like I don't know the pain they went through over the ENORMOUSLY dangerous ocean because my Nan and my aunty was one of many of them. But my point is about their mind-set about their own race and nation, WHO IN THE WORLD DIDNT KNOW VIETNAM IS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY. But you are what you are, why ashamed, why looking down to your own race? The only way to make people looking up at you is to respect yourself-who you are, what you are.
My project will based on that concept, I wanted to create a "BOOK" that included photography, typography, quotes and stories based on Vietnamese here (in Sydney-Australia, I wish I have the money to travel around to see more people out there). The book will be a medium to get the message out there to embrace the beauty of a racial identity (in this case Vietnamese)
I would come across these politics thing about Communist Government thing, the Vietnamese FLAGS and so much more but am ready to listen to their LIKES AND DISLIKES as "being Vietnamese"
The language is another thing that I wanted to explore on because itself is an encyclopedia of "Languages" whereas the modern written Vietnamese language only known for about 100 years. Yep, that language that you see us writing now is VERY YOUNG. But the process to came up with our modern written/spoken Vietnamese today is a "big fat thick" history book. Also, the language is remarkably unique that says "VIETNAMESE" that embraces the cultural identity.
Just before I forget to tag what I initially came to Bubbles today for here's the link!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_language
As a Vietnamese myself, when I looked at WIKI am was shocked to how rich the language is. Oh well for now, enjoy.
If anyone ever read this note, I'd love to hear from you your opinions on VIETNAMESE racism things you like dislike about Vietnamese what make you proud of being who you are what you are. TAG! please do leave me comments it means so much if you do xoxox.
PS: this blog is almost 500 words here, may be I should just link this blog to my tutor haha.
Bubbles lover.
