Dear Employers,
Thank you for taking time to look into my profile.
You are looking at a profile of one of the most unique human beings walking on earth.
It’s hard to describe my personal profile even though I consider myself as a simple

person at the core. I can laugh and cry at the same time; I can write music and software at
the same time; I even sing while using toilet. To God, I’m a particle of dust; To myself,
I’m the universe; To others, I could be anything, not to mention about their twitted views.
I would like to summarize some important personal highlights, so you can take careful
considerations before talking to me:
In God We Trust: I have a strong faith in God, not religions. I can see the power of God
when looking into the night sky, or even by observing a sunny day with birds whistling
on the trees. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I won’t be able to show God to others as
a concrete materials. We do have the line on the Dollar Bill, but I don’t think many
people believing in God as I do. To me, God is integrity and God is justice.
Abortion’s Killing the Humanity: Abortion is a global disease, and if we don’t make a
good efforts to stop it, it will at least wipe out the humanity aspect of the human race.
Men and Women in general, share equal responsibilities to keep fetuses alive, and I
believe that fetuses have the right to live as anyone of us. At this point in time, we still
have the natural births’ rate of over 99%, and after all, men have higher sexual desire
than women. What do we say when a coworker tells us that she/his wife just got
pregnant? Of course: CONGRATULATIONS! I hope we really mean that.
Personal Beliefs and Working Environment: even my personal beliefs are strong and
somewhat different from many, I am able to “seal” my mouth in the working
environment if that’s the policy. However, if your company’s philosophy is supporting
abortion, WOULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER NO FURTHER. I am a peaceful
antiabortionist, but nobody should work against their own beliefs.
Religiously and Politically Independent: I absolutely have no religious and political
affiliations, but I do have my own opinions on everything. I intend to keep it that way for
the rest of my life at any price. It does not mean that I consider all of religious and
political people are bad human beings. With my own personal losses and experiences, I
have a enough reasons to stay independent as much as I can. I do realize that we all
depend on each other in this world, and I always try to do my part.
Vietnamese Songwriter and Singer: I completed about 60 songs and wrote thousands of
lines of poetry. I also remember at least over 5000 lines of others’ songs and poems. My
artistic works are not for me to judge (good or bad), but they should not be excuses for
others to attack me personally, because I don’t mean to attack anyone personally.
Uphold the Integrity in Tough Situations: I went on hunger and thirst strikes twice,
with the total of 25 days (the first time was only the hunger strike for 10 days), to protest
against the “hidden beings” trying to manipulate and attack me behind my back. I prayed
that they did learn from the incidents as I always do. I don’t have a clear idea about who
(or what) was behind the dirties, but I am sure that it’s very nasty. For people who carried
out the orders, including policemen, I would never blame them. I just feel sorry for them

because they work as a tool for the “hidden beings”.
No References: I don’t have anyone to trust at the moment to refer me. After all, I want
you to take my words over others.
