Carpe Diem = Seize The Day

What a beautiful way to begin the Lunar New Year 🧧 Yesterday, we hiked 4.2 miles at Del Valle Regional Park, and it felt like the perfect start to my new year goals. The trail was absolutely beautiful, even with a light drizzle along the way. Rain or shine, we still show up and that’s something I’m really proud of. I’m so happy to say that my stamina is getting stronger with every hike. Each…

On the first day of Vietnamese New Year — Tết — which in 2026 falls on February 17, the world feels softer, slower, and filled with quiet hope. It is a day meant for gentle beginnings, where every small action carries love and meaning, and where families welcome the new year with open hearts and peaceful intentions. The home becomes a place of warmth and reunion. Loved ones gather close, sharing…

Half way Next on my reading list I’m already halfway through Alchemised, and I’m really taking my time with it. I’m not just reading. I’m slowing down, thinking, and annotating as I go. Writing directly in the book has become an active way for me to stay engaged with the ideas and connect more deeply with what I’m reading. It feels like I’m having a conversation with the author on every…

Sometimes you just need to slow down. There’s nothing quite like making a cup of Vietnamese iced coffee. Take your time, choosing your favorite coffee, and watching it drip slowly through the phin. The Vietnamese fin coffee method is all about patience and simplicity. Using a small, metal filter called a pen, hot water gently drips through finely ground coffee, creating a rich, bold brew. When…

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? After my father passed away suddenly, I had to take on the full responsibility of our household both emotionally and financially. With two younger siblings and a sick mother to care for, I didn’t have the luxury of staying a child for long. I had to grow up quickly and learn to handle everything on my own. It was no longer just…

The crisp air, blue skies, and just the right autumn chill were perfect conditions for a trip to Apple Hill. As soon as we got there, the sweet scent of freshly made apple fritters filled the air, making us feel like fall had officially started. Of course, we had to take some apples home too. There’s something so special about spending the day surrounded by the colors, scents, and flavors of the…

I hope everyone has been doing well. It’s truly been a whirlwind these past couple of years while I’ve been offline. So much has changed, and I’ve taken a lot of time to reflect on what brings me happiness and a sense of purpose. I’ve realized how much I miss sharing little moments, beautiful places, and meaningful experiences with others. That’s why I’ve decided to continue this blog—not just…

5 Levels of Leadership

I decided it’s time. I’m creating my own business. I decided to take some online course and started to read more self help books. I got really inspired of this 5 Levels of Leadership. I decided to do more research on this subject. I want to reach the highest level. Personally and honestly, I know. I’m still at level 1. I have a lot of work to do. This why I’m going to start hiring people that are…

March 11, 2021 Updates

Hello everyone, It been awhile since I posted. I hope everyone doing well. I’m glad 2021 is starting to be better than 2020. I took the time during this break from social media to grow as a better person. I’m not going to lie. I use to “overshare” my life. I started to enjoy the moment. Don’t get me wrong. I still take tons of pictures but I don’t post them as much as I used too. I started to…

It funny we never really take the time to love ourselves. We give our love so easy but we are so hard on ourselves. We overthink. You have to understand being yourself is more than enough. You will have people like for not else. I had people that hated me because of misunderstanding. I had people hate because I simple smile too much. I had people hate for being so positive and happy all the time.…

I’m so grateful for the opportunities I was given in my life time. Networking is a big key to successes. I try my best to give my best impression when I met people. I’m always kind and show my respected to other. You never know you might need them. I got to work at many company because of people I met in the pass. “You would be good for the company..” That was a sign on it own. Every job I got…

It’s 2021

I’m sorry for not updating my blog in so long. I’m thankful for 2020. I learn a lot about myself. I tested my limits with my fear this included heights, social interaction, and making videos on Tic Tok. This might sound not that difficult for most. I’m a overthinker, extremely shy, and have body Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Seeing myself on cameras is a little weird. I most likely write smaller post.

I changed during quarantine

Hello everyone,

It’s been a long time since I posted anyone on this blog. Thank you for following my journey. I couldn’t post because of work and personal life. Well… Then coronavirus happened. I started to work from home. I got isolate from the world. The fear of getting coronavirus was so scary. Everywhere around the world. I didn’t want to leave my house. I was so scared not met anyone.

I made audio messages for everyone. Sorry I been gone so long. It’s been hard on me. I have return.

Positive audio message from me to you

Fun fact: Did you know? Vegan yogurt offers a great means to pack fiber, calcium, and protein into your diet—not to mention probiotics, which are great for digestive health.

I made quick snack today using vegan products. I made a Vegan yogurt with fresh strawberry parfait. I used coconut base yogurt it was unsweetened today. I wanted to add fresh strawberry and honey to naturally sweet the parfait. You can also add your favorite granola on top. I hope you enjoy this amazing healthy snack. Happy eating everyone.

Sincerely,

Diem
