Catching Up

I need to check if I can blog from my phone or not since I now have mommy's old phone (it's so big and heavy).

Sorry I couldn't sleep with you yesterday or take you to So today. I think mommy really wants to spend time with you. You should really like/love her. She's not so bad. She loves you a lot, but I get it. She used to love me a lot too. You should probably enjoy it while you can. Someday she may not have enough love or time for you. That's kind of how life is. If only we knew these were the "good times" while we were in them. That way we can enjoy them more. So I guess the lesson there is to appreciate and enjoy each day (as if it's your last). I wonder if you'll remember the good times you're having now. I don't think I remember anything before I was like 4 and my real memories only started after 5. You're having good times sir, but you always want to be home. Even at home, the times are good :) 

WWW Wednesday

I went to work today. Then I went home. Then I went back to work. Then we went home. Then we went swimming. Then we went home. Then we went to dinner. Then we went home. It was early, but you still went to bed late. We also didn't win the lottery. Lots of WWW today...

I know you don't want mommy to go to work. I'm going to keep trying to win the lottery so that she doesn't have to. At least until you no longer care about mommy going to work. It's Hump Day. Half the work/So week is over. It's almost the weekend. You'll get to see Aunty Minh and Uncle Art. Woohoo!!!

Superhero Vinh

Look what mommy got you. We also discovered the secret in the lights today. I really hope you don't keep turning on the new lights. You already have one of each color opened. Save the other ones for when those run out.

You have a kind heart and you want to help people. I hope that's something you keep forever. The world is going to challenge your kindness and resolve. Hard work and dedication will help you stay the path. We have come a long way from where Ong and Ba came from. The sky is the limit to where you can go and what you can do and how "super" you can be. No pressure. Just be happy, be good, and be able to take care of yourself and others.

Happy Birthday Uncle Peter

I went golfing with him for his birthday. Sorry I didn't get to stay home with you. I'll do that on "Good" Friday. I wonder if we'll still be living in this area when you're older. I assume so. If so, I hope we can get lots of golf time at WildHawk. I can join and you can pick up golfing there. We're behind Tiger Woods though. He started golfing before he was 2...

I'm not sure how good a teacher I will be or how good of a golfer you'll be, but I hope we can have that as a shared interest to efficiently spend time together. Sounds bougie considering where we came from financially. Although golf is becoming a more accessible activity for the common person now...

Lazy Sundays

Sometimes it's important to have lazy days. Your battery needs time to recharge. As expected, mommy didn't make us go to San Jose or anywhere today. Today, you just had to go to My Gym and church. It's good that we went to My Gym or your friend would be all by herself.

You're still as cute as ever. I think mommy realizes that you weren't a super cute baby. Mommies often are blinded by emotions. I wonder if you get anxiety about Mondays. I know you're smart, but I wonder if you have a grasps of the days yet...

Casa Rosauro

We got to spend time with Emma and company today. It was a long day for sure, but sometimes you have to have long days so you can have more time to enjoy and do stuff. You're still a kid now, but with the time we give you, you get to decide what to do. Which doesn't always have to be watching Tayo. You can do other things, but you get to decide that. I really hope you're able to make time for things and people that are important to you. Sometimes that means doing too much...

Tomorrow should be pretty relaxing. It's just My Gym and church. I don't think mommy is going to have us to to San Jose...

Mental Health

Have a written about this before? Even if I did, it's still important enough that it should be mentioned again. I hope life and the world will be better to you. I hope that you also won't have a victim mentality. At worst, hopefully you're somewhere in between. All this to say that you really need to take care of yourself. Only then can you take care of those that are important to you. With most things in life, that's the case. Make sure your affairs are in order, before getting involved with others.

Mental health is something that often gets overlooked or in some cases get misused. For me, it just means finding healthy outlets that allow you to reset and refill yourself so that you can be in good form for life. Sometimes that means swimming. Sometimes that means eating or drinking. Today, it was golf with your Uncle Mario. You shouldn't hide from the world all the time, but you should make sure you take time needed to make sure you're good. Truly, if it's important to you, make it happen. If it doesn't happen, it wasn't important enough to you...
