I had a dream that it was possible to take a picture of the contents of someone else’s dream. This would be pretty cool I guess and then I remembered that I’ve heard about technology that is able to visualize what someone’s thoughts are. I’m not sure if that technology is commercially available yet, but it doesn’t seem too far from the idea I had in my dream
What daily habit do you do that improves my quality of life?
One daily habit that eventually improves my quality of life is… using Bing as my default search engine. I earn points that can be redeemed for giftcards to Amazon and Target. #ad
What do I love about where I live?
What do you love about where you live?
I like how convenient everything is in my neighborhood. Lots of stores that I go to on a weekly basis and a good proximity to loved ones and work.
What’s your favorite time of day?
My favorite time of day is when I take a shower and go to bed. There’s just something about a hot shower and a comfortable bed that releases the stress and worries of the day and gets me ready for tomorrow.
What positive emotion do you feel most often?
What positive emotion do you feel most often?
I feel fine.
Hahaha, but in all seriousness, my emotions tend to be more on the stable side. I think if there’s a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is the most negative emotion felt and 10 is the most positive emotion felt, I usually hover between 3 and 7. Not that emotional, but I randomly cry at times without knowing why I’m crying. I smile at times, but I usually know why I’m smiling.
What brings you peace?
What brings you peace?
One of the things that brings me peace is reading. I don’t read books that often, but when I read manga, I feel like I am able to get a break from reality and enjoy a nice story about anything.
What profession do I admire?
What profession do you admire most and why?
I admire teachers. Teachers have taught me a lot throughout my life and I’m grateful that I’ve had a number of good ones. Knowing all the course material, creating assignments, grading assignments and tests, dealing with lots of students, creating lesson plans, and more. I’m not sure what type of person it takes to be a good teacher, but I hope that more of those types of people exist in the world and I hope that society values teachers more.
If I were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
I would want to sell something in software, something that people can eat, or something that is useful like a tool to accomplish a task.
I haven’t figured out what I want to sell yet, but I saw on social media that one loving husband started a bubble tea shop because his wife liked bubble tea. I don’t know if I’ll open a bubble tea shop, but the idea is sweet.
I’ve thought about starting a business a few times related to software or helping the community, but haven’t done anything with those ideas. Some of the ideas have been jokes among friends, but some other ones may actually be good. One of these days 🤷♂️
Random act of kindness I’ve done for someone
Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.
I’m not sure if any of the stuff I’ve done for people has been random. Like holding doors open, saying “Bless you” when someone sneezes, picking up trash, returning shopping carts to the designated locations, warning people about dog poop on the ground or the like, or helping someone with directions – these aren’t really random. Like I did them intentionally.
Maybe something random that I’ve done is encouraging a stranger when I thought something they did was good. Like I’ve complimented how a guy smelled on the elevator and I’ve clapped for a person climbing a rope. I still don’t think this was that random, but certainly something I didn’t need to do or was planning on doing until I did it.
I think I have the capacity of doing more acts of kindness, random or not.

If my blog brings a smile to someone’s face, then I think it has accomplished my goal – some of these thoughts will resonate with others, and some of these thoughts will not.
