Smoking in Vietnam...
Cigarettes are so damn cheap in Vietnam — about 16,000 VND, or about $.80 USD. And needless to say, seeing how readily available they were everywhere I went since just about every one there smokes, it was hard for me to resist for an entire month. I was curious about one thing though…
Are the cigarettes in Vietnam as harmful as they are here in the States? One could assume that a...

Nice, man. I dig that blog too. Moreso than yours, unfortunately. But you’re still cool in my book, of course.
Top 5 Regrets People Make On Their Deathbeds →
When Ms. Bronnie Ware, a woman who worked for years with the dying, wrote a list of the top 5 regrets people say aloud on their deathbed, we teared up a little bit here at TNW.
She posted the top 5 regrets along with her commentary on her website, and we’ve recopied them for you here below. But instead of just the grandmotherly bits of advice about dreams having gone unfulfilled, we’ve...
Here's the plan:
Three things I have on my agenda right now: school, money, and traveling… in that order. School’s #1, and right now it doesn’t matter how long its going to take me. Money’s #2, and its gonna be important to have to survive… and I know wanna live comfortably. So to make “enough” money, I’m gonna make sure I situate myself where I can earn enough to...

User Privacy: "Protect your shit" →
Facebook was better when it was just for college kids. Now that everyone has it, everyone can get in your business… unless you censor it from people you don’t want getting in to it and as long as Facebook keeps allowing us to do just that. Now Google, the biggest/most powerful search tool out there, is trying to get in on the social network grid. While they’re pointing fingers at...
I just told my first joke... in Vietnamese
..and it musta been a good one too! Got my grandma laughing to the point where she couldn’t breathe (which was hella scary, I thought she was gonna pass out!). Wish I could’ve snapped some pictures of the moment; we were having lunch and she was drinking water from her glass when she just spit it out all over the table in laughter - then had me choking on my meal seeing her crackin up. Ahh man…...

I tried helping you. I tried to give you advice. I tried explaining to you where I fucked up. I told you things I’ve never told anyone because I thought that since I was that ashamed of my mistakes, I thought that if I told you you would learn the importance. I thought I explained to you how important it was for you to not follow the same path to failure that I treaded. I thought it made...
One way to define "Happy"
I’m proud.. which makes me happy.. which keeps me optimistic and motivated. Start with one positive, and just let the rest flow.
Meet one person that changes your life, meet another that changes your mind. Complete one mission, move to the next. Make one mistake that teaches you a lesson, teach yourself to learn lessons without making those mistakes.
Get there, wherever...
Me & Moms: *Our "Mother-Son" Thing
First, I’ll give my moms props for picking up the smartphone-thing so fast. It wasn’t more than just a few months ago that me and my sisters introduced her to texting. Then before we knew it, she’s been facebooking from her phone, emailing, and now — picture messaging. Oh yes, picture messaging.
*I’d say 90% of photos exchanged between me and my moms via picture...

#FB Treat Your Woman Like Your Cars
Fellas, treat your women woman like your cars - the better you take care of her, the longer she’ll last. Ladies - first of all, don’t take any offense to this. By all means, we’re just wired differently. We’re not in love with material things, we’re in love with how they make us feel (in fact, even though that sounds pretty fcked-up [sorta] you gotta admit it, you...
#fb testing.. testing..
testing… testing…
It works! My Selective Tweets Facebook app autosends any Tweet that has “#fb” included in it straight to my Facebook as a status. So when I put “#fb” in the title of a Tumblr post it automatically sends it Twitter, AND as a Facebook status too. Dope.
I love technology.
Alarm Clock
Reminder: The FIRST thing I need to reset on my alarm clock is the PM/AM set.
A pre-planned 40-min power-nap turned into a 3-hour slumber. what was supposed to be a 30-min shower + “Bruce’s Monster Omelet” wound up being brush-my-teeth-while-I-iron-my-shirt + McD’s Breakfast Burritos (x2).
I gotta learn my lesson.

How many #meaningful conversations do you think you have each day? Not meaningful like what you talk about, but meaningful to where you feel like you get to know the person through the things they say. Unforced… natural. Sometimes if you take a step back and you kinda think about the conversation, you sorta recognize you put some passion to it. You get put in this spot where you’re...
Personal Statement: University of Illinois at...
I hate to start off this essay by saying that I have a unique story, since everyone has a tale of how they became who they are – that is, how they dealt with the adversity and the obstacles of life. Now, I can’t exactly pinpoint where my story starts, but I can tell you where it has taken me and most importantly, where it will end. So, without further ado…
I am a first-generation...
