Why 'Tears of Hope' (Nước mắt của hy vọng) ?

As some of you maybe be asking why is my blog called "Tears of Hope" which translate to Vietnamese "Nước mắt của hy vọng". The reason why I bracketed the Vietnamese name was because I wanted my readers to know that even though I blog in english, I'm a Vietnamese person. It also relates to the fact that some/most of my blogs are always linked to my holiday experiences in Vietnam. :)

It's called "Tears of Hope" because it was a name that I came up with to give of different meanings. "Tears of Hope" can mean alot of things in life. The word 'Hope' is supposed to mean e.g. the hope to start a new life, the hope to get the strength to move on, the hope to discover who you are. The word 'Tears' emphasises on the tears that may come out of it (like the end result) or the strength used to achieve it.

Hence why my blog is called "Tears of Hope". I wanted to have a blog that I could blog on what I've learnt, what I've experienced and what other people may also face. I wanted this blog to not only allow people to read, but also related to the experiences which I've faced each and everyday. It's kinda like a diary but with out that love-dovey and secret stuff but based in real life both past and present.

"Tears of Hope" wasn't just the only title I used in high school. There was also "Forgotten Memories". "Forgotten Memories" was mainly about the memories that you wish you haven't forgotten. For example, the memories of a love one who passed away or a happy memory. In this title, I wanted to emphasis on the memories of the past and the future that people may have forgotten. However, it wasnt just about forgetting memorise of the good times. It was also about trying to forget bad memories e.g a criminal offence and starting a brand new life.

I thought of calling my blog (before I started) "Forgotten Memories" or "Forgotten Love". But, I think this blog is well suited with "Tears of Hope". :)
