Last Friday evening, I was in District 1 (it's the old name, I don't even know the current ward name) with Ruben, Raph, Duy and Hoang. We went to a sake brewing place called Mùa Craft Saké. Drinking home-brew sake was an interesting experience, especially when it's in Vietnam. Aside the sake bomb - which is just a DIY sake beer, we tried a couple of fruit-flavor sake drinks. They were different,…
Xoài got sick after her first week at school. She's having a runny nose with discharging eyes. We asked the doctor and she told us to only clean her noses frequently. One of the positive sides of having a second kid is that you feel less stressed when things happen (again). Besides the apparent discomfort of heavy breathing, she seems to be fine in general. We'll continue to monitor and see. Nga…
Today was Xoài first day at Kindy City. She woke up early in the morning for some reasons and was really happy to go to school with Bơ. Upon arriving, she didn't even look back and ran to the toy car corner. We left right away, eager to look at the photos that the teachers would share shortly after. Surprisingly, she was totally fine until breakfast and the first hour. But when she heard a song…
These days have been hectic as I'm trying to wrap up work leftovers due to my trip. 8 hours a day is definitely not enough. I'm trying my best not the let the stress get to my head. I'm too old for that stuff. I'm forcing myself to sit down and write this blog, as there will be no other perfect moment during the day. Bơ and Xoài have been super cute these days when they played with each others.…
We arrived in Seoul at 17:00 yesterday. The flight was okay but I wasn’t able to catch up on the last night sleep. We saw a blooming cherry tree at the airport. I thought it was cherry blossom, but now I start to believe it was just a fake tree. The past two days have been very tiring. Xoài was grumpy for the whole day and just wanted to stick with Nga. Today, we went to Hanboknam for hanbok…
The past couple of days were quite stressful so I didn't manage to spend some morning time with language learning and blogging. I guess I also have to figure out my schedule during the upcoming trip for some writings. My mornings will be chaos, so the evening time before sleep should work better. Bơ has been counting days to the trip (the same way I do). We plan to spend Monday in Lotte World…
I realized that dashboard plugins don't need a pro subscription. Now I don't have to remember all the syntax with the Markdown Toolbar by René, which is pretty neat ;) These days, the saying Most of our urgent tasks are from the others' terrible planning. resonates the most with me.
I had some alone time after work today while waiting for Nga's hanging out with her friends. Normally I don't have many chances to sit by myself and reflect, so I kinda savor these moments. I was pretty sure that I need the Bear pro subscription, mostly for the image upload and custom domain. However, I don't really want to impulse-buy right away, unless I use the platform for more than a year.…
I've been publishing my journal on Github Pages. With the upcoming trip to Korea for 9 days, I plan to write as much as I could during the kids' sleep time. Having to type on the Github app doesn't sound too excited. I've bumped onto Karpathy's blog today and realized that he's using Bear Blog for his latest writing activities. I tried out right away and fell in love with the simplicity and ease…
Xoài's turn to get sick
