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.

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.

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.

For example

Kitchen TV

Helps you cook while entertaining, updating news, watching recipes.

Should be mounted neatly on the wall or in a built-in cabinet to save space, avoid grease stains.

Quartz or granite countertop

Quartz: durable, less water-absorbent, many modern colors, easy to maintain.

Granite: natural, beautiful grain, heat and impact resistant, luxurious but may need periodic waterproofing.

Closed kitchen

Helps prevent odors from spreading to the living room/bedroom.

Creates a private space, less affecting common activities.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation, odor extraction and natural light.
