To Blog or Not to Blog

Well, my blog has been reincarnated a couple times, going from and to many different blog tools and hosting places. It’s not that I don’t like to blog; it’s just sometimes I don’t have anything to say or to write.  And I don’t want to include my personal since I am a very private person, and I’d like to keep my personal things private.  However, I’d like to test out and implement the WordPress software as well as put references on many things that I can recall later, and I’d like to improve my writing in English and Vietnamese.  So here I am blogging again.  I don’t know how long it will last but so far I’ve been able to keep the blog way longer than before.

Topsail Island, North Carolina 2

Topsail Beach (taken by me)

Topsail Island, North Carolina.  This year our annual gathering of friends is in Topsail Island, NC.  Topsail Island located about 20 minutes drive north of Wilmington, NC. It provides a beautiful view of the sunrise and ocean front staying.  This year we decided to rent an ocean front house for a whole week to relax and chill with all the brothers from a different mother.  We had so much fun, chilling, relaxing, eating, drinking and the best of all is laughing and enjoying each others.  We all got a pretty good tan.

Our lives are always busier and more responsibilities as we get older but friends will always be there and will always be a part of each other live.  People come and go but good friends will stay and be a part of you.  And thank God, I have such wonderful friends that that we have been thru ups and downs and yet we always stick together and enjoy each other company.  Nothing is better than just a few good friends sitting at the beach with a bottle of tequila.

Sunrise over Topsail beach

This is a yearly get together at the beach, hopefully the tradition will continue when we all have family and kids.  By that time, we can take a long the wife and the kids to get them hang out and enjoying the beach.

Topsail Island, North Carolina

July 23 – 30, 2011.  Back for a long week at Topsail Island, NC.  A long week of tan, drinking, and relaxing.  A long week of food and laugh.  A long week of memories.  And after a long week, comes the bad stuff: car accident on the way back.  Oh well, bad luck.
