When you say nothing at all

Ronan Keating



It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd (The crowd)
Try as they may could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine

[Repeat chorus twice]

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand let's me know that you need me

[Repeat chorus]

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand let's me know that you need me

(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all)

Idioms about eyes

All about eyes

When it comes to relationships, people’s eyes can be a window into their hearts. This means that their eyes can tell a lot about how they feel. We will tell a story about a man and woman who are teachers at the same school. The woman is interested in the man. She uses many methods to *catch his eye*, or get him to notice her. Once he *sets eyes on* her, or sees her, she might try to get him interested in her by acting playful. In other words, she might try to *make eyes at* him or *give him the eye*.

Let us suppose that this man gets *hit between the eyes*. In other words, the woman has a strong affect on him. He wants to spend time with her to get to know her better. He asks her out on a date.

She is so happy that she may walk around for days with *stars in her eyes*. She is extremely happy because this man is the *apple of her eye*, a very special person. She might tell him that he is the only person she wants, or “I only have eyes for you.”

On their date, the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant. If the man is really hungry, his *eyes might be bigger than his stomach*. He might order more food than he can eat. When his food arrives at the table, his *eyes might pop out*. He might be very surprised by the amount of food provided. He might not even *believe his own eyes*. If fact, *all eyes* would be watching him if he ate all the food. This might even cause *raised eyebrows*. People might look at the man with disapproval.

During their dinner, the couple might discuss many things. They might discover that they *see eye to eye*, or agree on many issues. They share the same beliefs and opinions. For example, they might agree that every crime or injury should be punished. That is, they firmly believe in the idea of *an eye for an eye*. They might also agree that it is wrong to *pull the wool over a person’s eyes*. This means to try to trick a person by making him believe something that is false. But the man and woman do not believe in the *evil eye*, that a person can harm you by looking at you.

The next day, at their school, the woman asks the man to *keep an eye on*, or watch the young students in her class while she is out of the classroom. This might be hard to do when the teacher is writing on a board at the front of the classroom. To do so, a teacher would need to have *eyes in the back of his head*. In other words, he would know what the children are doing even when he is not watching them.

Sixty-year-old Vietnamese man speaking English really cool

Based on a link pasted via Yahoo Messenger, I found this man speaking English really funny. Here is the link at Youtube



You may find many words like this: so-cute, awesome, very cool, super-x-man,.. from the watcher of the clip. I'm not exception, he's really amazing. He remind me an old man I met 2 years ago at English speaking Club of Youth Cultural House (Nhà Văn Hoá Thanh Niên). He come there everyweek to speak English, he is very special guy in the club, the oldest one I'm sure. He's tall, thin, always wearing black jacket and with a helmet on his hand. He's funny man, he enjoy talking to the young, he stopped group by group for discussion any topic, if you made a mistake in grammar or pronunciation, he would had corrected you right away. I also had chance talking to him several times, but right now I almost forget his name, but I still remember he told me he used to work as an interpreter in US army before Liberation day (April-30). And there's no doubt Bill is the man I met. Now I'm very glad to meet him again in the web in term of a well-known Vietnamese cool man. I also would like to thank professor Barry Nabdahl for introducing Bill to the world-wide with an very interesting video-clip.

As following is a comment extracted from Youtube:
"Gday mate, I have known Bill for 8 months - I live in Saigon (from Uc - Australia) I haven't seen him for a few months but he still remembers me - I always buy postcards and gave him extra for his daughter and today he showed me a print out of the You Tube page with your video on it - he was sooo proud :-) I just showed my family as they haven't met him yet - they loved it - thanks for putting Bill on the web - he's such a character!!!! Jenna - HCMC - Vietnam "

Here are another clips about him on Youtube.

Phụ nữ, viết cho ngày 20-10

Phụ nữ không có nghĩa là đem loài người trừ đi đàn ông. Mà phụ nữ cộng với đàn ông thì thành loài người. Tuy về mặt toán học hai đẳng thức trên là tương đương nhưng trong cuộc sống thì ý nghĩa của chúng khác nhau.

Theo tôi, phụ nữ là động lực duy nhất khiến đàn ông làm được những điều ngớ ngẩn thiên tài, những điều dại dột vĩ đại, những điều điên khùng đáng yêu, những điều hợp lý vô nghĩa, những điều đúng đắn tầm thường, những điều dối trá thực lòng và những điều chân thật giả tạo.

Một ý nữa... mà các ông cần trân trọng ở các chị em Phụ nữ đó là sự thủy chung (hòn vọng phu, người thiếu phụ Nam Xương, chịu thương chịu khó (vợ Tú Xương, quanh năm buôn bán ở mom sông ...) và cũng sẽ "xù lông nhím" khi cần thiết"Giặc đến nhà đàn bà cũng đánh". Những mặt tích cực này đã được lịch sử chứng minh, nhưng không biết vài trăm năm nữa còn đúng không? thì chưa biết

Chị em cố gắng làm sao để xứng đáng với bề dày lịch sử oai hùng đấy nhé

Thân chúc Phụ nữ Việt Nam ngày một mạnh mẽ hơn với làn sóng lấy chồng ngoại, dịu hiền hơn với chồng nội, ...đảm cả việc nước, giỏi lẫn việc nhà...
