Gio suong roi verse

Photo Gio suong roi 
Vietname: Mộng thu sang gió lay mặt hồ gió sương rơi, sương khói đảo khuynh thành.              English: Autumn dream comes, wind shakes the lake, wind and mist fall, mist and smoke overturn the city.                                                          The poem you gave has a mystical, ancient color - with the breath of a quiet autumn scene mixed with a bit of mystery. Let's try to develop that part in the style of a metaphysical - legendary epic:

Autumn dream comes, the wind shakes the lake's surface,

Dew drops fall - quietly like a broken bell in the void,

Mist and smoke tilt, leaning the silent Citadel,

Ancient tiles bend their backs under the footprints of the moon,

The pine trees tremble slightly like someone keeping a thousand-year oath that has not been revealed.

Is there anyone sitting on the autumn porch,

Hearing the swallows' wings parting the sky,

Is there anyone looking at the mirror of the lake,

Seeing their own face broken by the whirlpool of time?

Autumn is not just autumn,

Autumn is the threshold of an eternal dream,

Where the Citadel falls into the mist,

Where the wind drops an unfinished oath into people's hearts.

Vietname: Rạn người yến phi, bạch tùng ô, ríu rít tí rí mẹ lạc con, chốn xa xăm con ong lạc bầy mùi hương lạ, yến bay.                                                          English: The reef is full of swallows, white pines and black pines, chirping like a lost mother and her child, in a faraway place, the lost son has a strange scent, swallows fly.                                          The passage you wrote has many associative tones - lyrical - legendary, with images of swallows - white pine - lost bees - strange scent, evoking a picture that is both natural and surreal.

Swallows, white pine,
The echo of small wings like a melody falling from the sky,
Chirping, mother lost her child,
Leading to a foggy place she has never known.

Far away, a lost bee,
Carrying a strange scent from the outside world of sand and wind,
Swallows still fly, overcoming the layer of ash and smoke,
Like a messenger between the human world and dreams.

Each flapping wing is a fragile streak of light,
Each echo is a thread weaving destiny,
In the void, the swallows scatter and gather,
Like human belief cracking and then mending.

sexy office lady 2025

What is the Sexy Office Lady (Office Mermaid)?

The “Office Mermaid” Aesthetic

This trend revives classic office looks—think pencil skirts, collared shirts, and heels—but with a modern, Office Mermaid. It’s elegant, bold, and subtly sexy. Signature accents include slits, sheer fabrics, oversized “geek-chic” glasses, and statement accessories—like pops of red or prints.

The Gen Z Work Style Makeover.

Fashion and lifestyle media are describing a dramatic shift in how the office is dressed. Gen Zers and Millennials are calling this trend “office girl”—a combination of confidence, individuality, and playfulness. It’s not about fitting in, it’s about standing out.

High Fashion Meets the Work Wardrobe:

Rebellious elegance is making a big splash. Luxury brands like Prada, Stella McCartney (from “Laptop to Lapdance”), Balenciaga, and even Ferrari (yes, that Ferrari!) are incorporating elaborate cuts, exaggerated silhouettes, and playful contrasts into their fall/winter collections — embracing themes like back to work, clean-girl, and corpcore.

Corporate vs. Sexy — A Delicate Balance:

Conservative traditional suits are being reimagined — miniskirts, crop tops, and pajama-style pants have made their way into the office. Known as the “corporate fetish” or “office mermaid,” this fashion movement celebrates femininity and power — but also raises important questions about workplace norms.

Celebrity Inspiration:

Celebrity Looks That Reflect This Movement:

Halle Berry recently wore sheer lingerie on the red carpet, paired with a pencil skirt and blazer - a look that's super modern for the office.

Hailey Bieber showed off this aesthetic with a chic minidress, blazer, sheer tights and bold accessories on her winter trip.

So, what can you expect in 2025?

High-usage with a twist: Structured basics (like blazers and skirts) paired with unexpected fabrics.

Personal Style Power: Workwear is not just about conformity, it’s about telling your story – sophisticated, confident, and unabashedly stylish.

Seasonal and Cultural Buzz: As brands and influencers continue to push this trend, it’s becoming more mainstream – set to explode in Fall/Winter 2025 and beyond.

From the fever of collecting millions of views to the scene of being held by Labubu

Labubu "cools down": From a million-view collection fever to a scene of "stockpiling"

From peak to decline

Photo image Мандалжав С.
In 2024, Labubu - the "tiny monster" of Pop Mart - created an unprecedented collection fever in Vietnam. The "blind boxes" were hunted by young people, pushing the selling price up to 2-5 times higher than the original price; rare versions were even traded for up to 4 million VND/box.

However, after only a few brilliant months, from the beginning of 2025, the Labubu market began to decline. Players switched to the emerging Baby Three line, causing Labubu to gradually lose its appeal. The current price is only around the original price of ~380,000 VND/box, down 50% compared to the peak period.

Reasons for the decline

Explosive supply: Pop Mart expands distribution, eliminating the scarcity factor that once pushed prices up.

Fast trend: Fast attraction but also fades quickly, when the collector community easily "jumps on the trend."

Declining artist effect: The image of Lisa (Blackpink) or many Vietnamese stars once contributed to fueling the fire for Labubu, but now this effect has almost disappeared.

Legal pressure: "Raffle" activities (livestreaming blind box giveaways) are warned to be illegal, causing the heat to decrease further.

Speculators "hold goods"

At its peak, many people bought Labubu wholesale to resell, making double or triple the profit. But now, many speculators admit that they have to "hold the whole warehouse," unable to sell, even displaying it in their homes instead of waiting for customers to buy (CafeF).

The future: Short-term fad or a return opportunity?

According to Times Union, Labubu is likely just a “fad” – a short-term craze that will fade. It is predicted that by the end of 2025, its appeal will continue to decline.

However, some opinions say that if Pop Mart launches limited editions, collaborates with big brands or innovates designs, Labubu still has a chance to return. The prerequisite is to build a sustainable collecting community, instead of relying on temporary effects.

Summary

Time Market status 2023 – 2024 Fever explodes, prices skyrocket Early 2025 Downtrend, Baby Three reigns Mid 2025 Speculators “hoard goods,” the market cools down Forecast Late 2025 Appeal continues to decline, innovation is needed to revive.

Cambodian National Assembly Passes Law Allowing Revocation of Nationality for Treason

The Cambodian National Assembly has officially passed a bill amending the Nationality Law, paving the way for the revocation of nationality for citizens convicted of treason or colluding with foreign powers to harm national interests. This is considered one of the most important legal changes in Cambodia in 2025.

Key developments

July 11, 2025 – The Cambodian National Assembly with 125/125 MPs agreed to amend Article 33 of the Constitution, changing the provision from prohibiting the revocation of nationality to:

“The acquisition and loss of Cambodian nationality, including the revocation of nationality, shall be determined by law.”

July 14 – The Senate approved the amendment with 58/60 votes in favor, creating the basis for promulgating a specific law on nationality revocation.

21/7 – King Norodom Sihamoni issues a royal decree, officially announcing the amendment to the Constitution, legalizing the revocation of citizenship under the new law.

25/8/2025 – The National Assembly continues to pass a bill amending the Nationality Law, allowing the revocation of citizenship in cases of “collusion with foreign countries to sabotage the state”. The bill was passed with the support of 120 participating parliamentarians.

This document is currently submitted to the Senate and awaits the King's signature. However, due to the absolute dominance of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), the above steps are considered to be only procedural.

Significance and concerns

The new regulation applies to all citizens, including those with dual nationality and naturalized. Those convicted of collusion with foreign countries may lose their citizenship.

Amnesty International and many human rights organizations warn that this law could be used as a tool for political repression, restricting freedom of speech and leading to the risk of statelessness, violating international human rights law (AP News, Amnesty International).

Important timeline

Date Event 11/7/2025 National Assembly amends the Constitution, paving the way for stripping citizenship 14/7/2025 Senate approves amendments 21/7/2025 King issues decree amending the Constitution 25/8/2025 National Assembly passes law amending the Nationality Law 

Although the law is about to come into effect, international observers are concerned that this new power could be abused for internal political purposes, rather than just protecting national security.

Strongest evidence of extraterrestrial life found

Scientists have just announced a series of discoveries that are considered the “strongest evidence” for the possibility of extraterrestrial life, opening a new chapter in the field of astronomy and astrobiology.

1. Biogas on planet K2-18b

In 2025, a research team using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered traces of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, 124 light years from Earth. These are compounds that on Earth are only produced by life, such as marine phytoplankton.

K2-18b is classified as a Hycean world - an ocean planet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, located in the "habitable zone" of its host star, where liquid water is likely to exist.

 Notably, the DMS/DMDS detection level has a scientific confidence level of about 3σ (~99.7%), which is a thousand times higher than that of Earth, making the biological origin hypothesis reasonable. However, scientists remain cautious, emphasizing that more observations are needed to rule out the possibility that these compounds were formed by non-biological processes. 

2. “Building blocks of life” from asteroid Bennu 

In the Solar System, NASA has also just announced the results from the asteroid Bennu sample brought back by the OSIRIS-REx mission. The analysis showed the presence of amino acids, nitrogen-containing compounds, sodium minerals, and even traces of the primitive “genetic code”. 

This finding reinforces the panspermia hypothesis – the idea that life on Earth may have originated from organic components brought by asteroids or comets. 

 3. Potential for icy moons

The two moons Enceladus (Saturn) and Europa (Jupiter) have long been considered “strong candidates” for life. Data from the Cassini spacecraft has shown that Enceladus erupts with plumes of organic-rich water vapor from its subglacial ocean.

NASA now has high hopes for the Europa Clipper mission, scheduled to arrive at Europa in 2030, to directly search for biological signs in the ice and deep ocean below.

4. Controversial traces

Previously, the meteorite ALH84001 from Mars caused a stir when it was said to contain microscopic structures similar to fossilized bacteria. But so far, this hypothesis has not reached a consensus in the scientific community and is often considered weak evidence.

The discovery of biogas on planet K2-18b is currently considered the strongest evidence for the possibility of extraterrestrial life. However, the scientific community emphasizes that more data is needed before a firm assertion can be made.

Meanwhile, samples from Bennu and missions to Enceladus and Europa will continue to be important milestones, bringing humanity closer to answering the eternal question: Are we alone in the universe?

How the world's richest family influences the world economy

The super-rich families, we are not only talking about the accumulation of wealth, but also the profound influence on politics, economics and global order. Below are 4 families often mentioned as "financial forces" that have left their mark on history.

Photo The Rothschild family
1. The Rothschild family (Europe)

Origin: Originated from Frankfurt (Germany), 18th century. Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his 5 sons built a banking network across Europe.

Historical influence:

Played a role in financing wars (Napoleon, England, Austria, France).

Controlled international capital flows, helping dynasties borrow to maintain power.

Founded the foundation for modern banking, government bonds, and the transnational financial system.

Legacy: Associated with the image of "mysterious banking families" and often included in conspiracy theories about global power.

 2. Rockefeller Family (USA)

Origin: John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil (1870), becoming the richest man in modern history.

Historical influence:

Controlled the global oil market in the early 20th century.

Created the foundation for the transnational corporation model and American expansion.

Played a major role in shaping the United Nations (New York headquarters is located on land donated by Rockefeller).

Legacy: The family continues to influence through charitable funds, banks, and strategic research institutes, and is considered a "new world order builder" softer than Rothschild.

3. Morgan Family (USA)

Origin: J.P. Morgan - American banking tycoon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Historical influence:

Saved the US economy during the 1907 financial crisis, laid the foundation for the Federal Reserve (FED).

Control of the railroad and steel industry (merged into U.S. Steel - the largest industrial corporation at that time).

Strong influence on Wall Street and the global financial system.

Legacy: J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is today one of the largest banks in the world.

4. Walton Family (USA)

Origin: Sam Walton founded Walmart (1962), turning it into the largest retail chain in the world.

Historical influence:

Changing the way people consume through the "low price - high quantity" model.

Symbol of supply chain globalization, affecting production in China, India, Vietnam ...

Promoting global standardization in retail trade.

Legacy: The Walton Family is still one of the richest families on the planet, representing the power of "global consumption" rather than just finance - energy.

Overall Impact on Human History

Rothschild: Building the international financial and public debt order.

Rockefeller: Shaping the energy industry and influencing global politics.

Morgan: Creating the American banking and industrial system, leading to the role of the United States as a superpower.

Walton: Architect of the modern consumer economy and globalization.

In other words, if Rothschild and Morgan represent financial power, Rockefeller represents energy & geopolitics, then Walton represents globalization and consumption.

China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border

China “did not warn” Thailand, only expressed concern and promoted cooperation. In recent days, there has been information that China has “openly warned” Thailand for daring to get involved in criminal areas in Cambodia. However, according to official sources, there is no evidence to confirm that China has officially warned Thailand.

Photo China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border
In fact, Beijing’s stance focuses on the Thai-Cambodian border conflict and cooperation in fighting cross-border crimes, instead of issuing a direct warning.

China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border

On July 24-25, 2025, the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia expressed concern about the escalating tension. Beijing called on both sides to dialogue, exercise restraint and resolve disputes through consultation. Notably, China also emphasized that it would not provide new weapons to Cambodia amid the tension (Tuoi Tre Online, VOV).

Affirming not to provide military equipment to Cambodia

In the face of international doubts, Beijing affirmed: the military equipment Cambodia is using is only in old cooperation projects, not to "target Thailand".

Promoting the restoration of peace

In mid-August 2025, in a trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of China, Thailand and Cambodia, Beijing continued to call for the restoration of peace as soon as possible, while maintaining the agreements reached.

Cooperation against cross-border crimes

In parallel with the border issue, China and Thailand have strengthened cooperation against cybercrime and cross-border fraud centers. The two sides agreed to establish a joint coordination center to share data and track down victims who were tricked into going to Cambodia, Myanmar and neighboring countries (Nation Thailand).

 Conclusion

There is no such thing as China warning Thailand about “interfering” in Cambodia’s criminal areas.

Beijing has only expressed concern about the border conflict, while affirming that it does not provide weapons to Cambodia.

In addition, China and Thailand are strengthening cooperation in fighting cross-border crimes, including online fraud and scam centers in Cambodia.

In other words, instead of “overtly warning,” China is playing the role of intermediary calling for dialogue and security partnership with Thailand.

China calls on Thailand and Cambodia to cease fire and maintain calm

On July 27-28, 2025, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry affirmed that Beijing calls on both sides to remain calm, exercise restraint and achieve an early ceasefire, and that China will maintain close communication and promote peace between the two countries.

China offers to play an impartial role as a mediator

In July 2025, at the ASEAN conference in Malaysia, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pledged to maintain an “objective and impartial” stance, and is willing to support reconciliation and promote dialogue between the two sides. He also proposed to strengthen security cooperation to combat cross-border crimes such as online fraud, gambling, smuggling, etc.

China affirms support for both sides to maintain peace after the trilateral meeting on August 14

On August 14, 2025, China held a trilateral diplomatic meeting with Thailand and Cambodia in China. Following that, on August 15, Beijing reaffirmed its desire to restore peace and its willingness to support the two countries in maintaining the agreement they had reached.

There have been no official reports or reliable sources indicating that China has warned Thailand for “interfering” in Cambodian criminal areas.

Instead, China has repeatedly expressed its neutral stance, proposed peaceful mediation, and called for cooperation to effectively address cross-border crimes.
