Updates (August 3, 2025)
When I was working in 2019 selling cell phones and cell phone plans full time for 5 months in the large supermarket … I just knew how to use cell phones. I was so cheap that I only really knew how to use Android phones …
I did not know the hardware or software. I did not know how to build my own cell phone.
And now Vietnamese people build cars.
Ben pushed me and my parents pushed me to do more to feel better so I feel good externally.
Allan always pushed me to do more to feel good. At the end that is a health need.
…
Now I understand the reason to socialize with Vietnamese here and there. We debate and learn and grow from each other. We build our identity to be stronger. We can learn and improve and change our ways in our worldviews.
That is why I understand why Vietnamese are now becoming podcasters and are on social media. We are doing more and being more and growing more. We need our sense of identity like everyone else and we need to grow it too to be healthy and strong.
Tony Tie for example from what I am learning is on social media. He is doing something good by exploring worldviews and being vocally active and present. And he is growing and his identity is always evolving and growing.
…
Before, I just listened to people and was silent. After socializing with Vietnamese my age range, I learned to build and put up an opinion for myself and my health and well-being.
There is room for everyone to debate and talk in the World. Everyone can live their way and do there own thing especially in the West. I learned the key is to just think broad and broader to allow for everything. Otherwise there is nothing. Living so broad gives hope. Hope allows for everything to continue.

In the West, life can be about external validation. It doesn’t have to either.

I have been socializing with Tammy Nguyen since 2021. I grew and grew.
I learned the new ways of living from her as a Vietnamese born in Canada.
Things are just different are we are the first generation of Vietnamese born in Canada.
…
If I did not blog and do these things over the past 5 years, I would not grow to see that I also need a way to breathe my way. Now I can exert my own thinking and opinion like everybody else.
…
Another way to look at my life at 41 years old, is trying to live and grow the fight for survival the independent Vietnamese way.
It is just the way things went.
There is other ways to live that is just as good and better. I just happened to live this way.
…
A good way to live for me is the fight for survival the Vietnamese way. If I live any other way it is doesn’t feel right.
If I live the laxed Western way, I can not feel my bones.
Then what is the right way?
…
Because I am born in Canada and have the ‘negative’ Western view implanted in my brain about life and about Vietnamese, I keep doing this. When you are born in the West something in you feels different compared to Vietnamese born in Vietnam. You can not really override that negative view.
I try to work with Westerners to bridge the gap.
…
What I learned so far after finally socializing with Vietnamese from USA.
There is the main perspective in the world that everyone knows.
Then there are millions/billions of other personal perspectives from other people. Some perspectives are just their personality. Some a created by struggle. Some are just old.
Some perspectives are used to help think different for a certain goal. Some perspectives are used to awaken the mind to make it see more and be more broaden.
How far is the mind then?
…
If I did not socialize with Tammy Nguyen, I would not understand how big the mind can be.
Therefore there is an element of ‘women’ in perspectives you can hold and use and want to achieve.
Women run everything?
