Updates (June 4, 2025)
Life is blogging really for an old Vietnamese guy like me out here in East GTA.
Documenting growth for Vietnamese man of my age. Things are different. Things are growing. Things are new.
…
What I learned lately …
Life is logic.
The only way to have growth for me was to do the things I liked. Then it became something.
Instead of just working for the sake of working, I could not stand just working, working as a young single man.
I was born in the West so I had to do my passions. The glory of doing something singular.
Doing your passions gives you something. It makes the way to learning and developing something possibly new and different out in the West regardless of what is going on as you are present and zoned in.
If you don’t do your passions then all you have are alternative life choices.
The thing is to do what you like because that grows you and develops logic and then accumulates.
After everything settles then you have a place in society doing what you have done in the West.
Some people just work and do stuff … that works but for my sake I lived this way and did what I can in safe Canada.
…
Some people have alternative ways to live, but being born in Canada you just live your way and see what happens because you are you and they are they. Different lives will probably never intersect if they are born in different countries most of the time.
But most of the time when people reach 35 years old, things settle and the most Western life seems the best.
You are supposed to grow with the most Western one so you have your fill and freedom. Abundance and freedom to research and develop.
…
The secret to life is probably coding. It builds you day-to-day, gradually growing you to have better sense, knowledge and skills.
It is not clash of cultures or living so stereotypically as a caricature that you live not logical.
The solution is to code what you like. If you don’t code what you like then it doesn’t feel right.
Coding what you like solves a solution for you and the world. You are providing something new for yourself and others.
Something new is what people need.
Not stagnating and boiling over. Not ruminating.
…
I realize something now. The people that throw negative projections do it because I am born in Canada.
If I was born in Vietnam in a really poor household, I would not have the Western living and thinking that plagues my people born here where they accept the back-and-forth between groups. All the ridiculous fighting.
Vietnamese from Vietnam don’t act up if they come from really poor backgrounds.
That is a problem I see living and being born in Canada, I adopted the Western negative stereotypes sometimes.
I have to keep this in mind from now on.
…
If I don’t keep working on my side of the projects, then I don’t really …
I need to do something now …
For example, when I do web site development, I do learn lots but it is not something I want. But the thing is that it grows me.
If I do what I want, I can spend days doing it.
Where is the line?
I guess for health reasons, you should do what you want instead of getting so much stress. The stress of website development or developing something you are not fond of is bad stress mostly for me.
Will that change? I guess I will have to find out.
…
I have seen some people on YouTube who were never in the spotlight and now filmed on YouTube change … Now famous because of their natural looks and humble personality before, they completely changed when they went superficial physical.
The best life and health is mostly not social media most of the time. You gain everything by not being in the spotlight. Being completely offline is the best and just working with your friends mostly.
Text or this blog is also not that good but I have to grow and document for myself. But you have to be informed too so that is a something you have to manage. People do socialize … so you have to draw a line somewhere.
I am not pictured online because that is 1000% bad for a Vietnamese guy like myself.
Vietnam is still developing and the bad projections I had over my lifetime has shown me I need to work on myself forever. Vietnam won’t be developed until the next 20-40 years I think.
Again it depends on the person though. Sometimes social media creates a better person???
Some people do grow being on social media.
But the reality is … being off social media and working your thing (zoning out on study, research and development like back in 1500 AD) not seen on the camera lens will 100,000% improve your mind, body and spirit. There are many angles you can go with this … both in the good way and bad ways??? But the reality of life is that people will figure out one day that living intensely in hard study work off camera will bring you all the good stuff in life. People need to figure that out. All the great notable people in history stayed in their ‘library’. Again this takes time to understand through experience. Lots of trying and trying to fit in and enjoy being young and with people.
But the reality for a Vietnamese man is that you shouldn’t be in front of the camera I think … I had so many bad stuff happen in out in society because the (1D) 1-dimensional view of Vietnamese is so negative … People don’t go all in to understand why certain groups have the problems they have … I studied for the past 4-5 years Vietnamese history and geography and climate and understand why I do the things I do. In the West with all the stress, some people don’t care enough.
…
Funny thing about life …
What am I doing now?
I guess if I am not doing my thing in life, then life’s purpose gets skewed …
Doing my thing orients me positive.
The things that come from doing this are a lot and can be seen as not good.
But you just have to keep jogging and that is all that matters.
…
I got to the point where doing nothing or something else is not right way to live.
You got to do stuff and constructive positive stuff. You just got to do that.
You got to be pushing.
This is after I got what I wanted and was humbled and criticized black and white.
People have to be jogging all the time. And especially as a Vietnamese guy I have to keep jogging.
…
What I found in life that will help orient people in living healthy and good in the West.
You are supposed to do Western things. Like strike it out on your own doing what your heart desires … basically filling the void in you and solving or providing a solution in the world.
Then people you know and around you will understand and meet you eye-to-eye understanding the struggle and fight to feel good everyday.
If you don’t do Western things, then you will feel saddened everyday.
…
For health in healthcare, it is to know the best way to live. Generally, it is to be top knowledgeable. That requires a lot.
But for coloured people, we don’t have the visuals. All we have is the study and only choice ‘to study’ and be one with ourselves doing what we can to enjoy life as coloured people. So all we can do is keep busy. We really can’t do more than just keep ourselves busy I realize.
If I were to become a medical professional as a Vietnamese person, all I can prescribe is to keep busy. Mainly zone out as a coloured person.
This will grow you and evolve you …
…
Odd thing is happening now at my point in my life …
I did what I liked so far …
I basically done what I liked in 2021. It was it and more.
I created software that reflected me as a person.
For the next few years after 2021, I grew more.
Now what? …
I was humbled recently … I guess that is life.
You can continually strive or just live life in Canada …
I think I worked hard enough and can just enjoy a bit. Still learning but do something in safe Canada. I don’t have much interests in anything else … must do something OK somewhat routine.
…
Really cool thing I realize in life here in Canada.
I browse FB Marketplace and you see people all the way up in Orillia selling cool unique computer hardware.
It makes you wonder what are they doing for money? or even pastime …
