The second phase of data collection

It is not something as dull as the title may sound. Firstly, I did not think I would go to the second phase of data collection, simply because I had only one phase all together. So the unplanned phase came up with lots of surprise-behind-the-winding, which somehow aligns with the emergent and open spirit of this research. The much more worthy thing is thanks to this second phase, I have a precious chance to travel home, to spend Tet with my parents, to stay in my extended HOME, and more than those.

This entry is not devoted for a description of the second phase. I don't know what to say, but thinking of the possibilities ahead, I appreciate what life has offered me, with people and their relationships, with chances and opportunites, and above all with lots of lots of love and faith. Reflecting on the conceiving conditions of the second phase, I asked myself why that way. I dare not put the answer in this post, because i don't know for sure what causes what, but what i know for sure is nothing transcendent comes to you all of a sudden. When it comes to wondering how and why a venture comes its way to me, I find myself often feeling appreciated what life has blessed me, without very often understanding that I have myself been creating opportunities from a me digging a dark tunnel every day and also a me possessing assets like the ability to see the light in the dark and the ability to believe me.

I don't allow myself to expect to see my performance at this stage. What I really want to do now is to be able bridge the distance between a me digging a dark tunnel and a me with extraordinary abilities to create opportunities.
