63) Life Hack

2/28/2017

Comments

 
Life hack: You must schedule a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) appointment online (like I did), or else you will be waiting all day. Importantly, you save a huge amount of time.

​For instance, this morning, I arrived to my scheduled appointment at 10:20 sharp. As I walked into DMV, there were two separate lines, scheduled appointment (via online) and walk-in. Nobody on the scheduled appointment line until I showed up (compared to walk-in line of about 50 people).

​Why was I at DMV anyway? My dad is at work right now. Thus, I had to register his vehicle. Also, today is my day off.  

​As I slowly walked to my scheduled appointment line, I felt like a boss or VIP. (It almost reminded me of the time when I would easily walk through a Vegas nightclub, even though I was only wearing a hooded-sweater, sweatpants, and basketball shoes. Courtesy from my good friend, who used to work in Vegas at that time.)

​A few seconds later, the front desk person called me. (Just like that. Yuh, I just beat 50 people.)    

​The vehicle was approved and registered. What time is it now?  10:33 AM. (13 minutes later.) My appointment is over. Again, I walked out as a boss or VIP, while I saw the very long walk-in line. (I sound like a douchebag.)

​One life hack discovered as I continue to search for more.

62) Disagreements in Relationships

2/27/2017

Comments

 
Relationships are never perfect. Eventually, disagreements will occur from time to time. Toughest part is resolving the conflict.

I do not yell anymore in disagreements. Unlike before, I have controlled my anger. Yelling and whining will never go anywhere. (Lesson learned.) In resolving the conflict, I respect the person's side of the story, even if I am against it.

For instance, I had a disagreement with somebody. He is against (paid) online dating apps because I might meet a serial killer. He would rather have me date somebody only through mutual friends.

​You can say what you want about me. I respect your feedback. I appreciate your honesty. Yes, I know you are very concerned about me. (I understand.) Thus, you are going for what is best for me.

​Then again, it is up to me. I am sorry.

61) I Am Not Perfect

2/24/2017

Comments

 
I am no expert, (and I never will be). I do not want to be that Mr. Know-It-All. (I used to be like that.) I had a huge ego. Honestly, I am no James Bond around the ladies. I used to be the guy saying, "This is how you talk to a girl." (What was I thinking? I retire from being that type of guy.) Also, I am a YouTuber but I am not famous. (I wish.) I graduated from college at a late age. (I am a slow, late bloomer.) I thought I knew everything.

Again, I am not perfect. In life, I will try my best to reach at my highest potential. Importantly, I am going with what makes me happy, such as blogging, coaching, and YouTubing.

As of now, I will only tell you what I have learned (based on my experience). I do not give long lectures to people anymore. (It gets annoying.) I must think before I say something, or else I will be a hypocrite.

I will keep this blog post short and simple. To this day, I am constantly learning. Until the day I die, I am constantly learning.

That's all I can write or type, for the reason that I am not perfect.

60) I Helped Somebody...

2/19/2017

Comments

 
But it did not turn out pretty well.

Today, I assisted somebody. I was doing a good deed, or that is what I assumed.

What is a good deed? Naturally helping others without being told or asked.

He seemed like he needed help. A few seconds later, he told me something like, "That's why they should be over here, not there!" Thus, the good deed turned into a mistake. In that case, I backed off and gave him space. Then again, at least I tried.
​
This will not stop me from helping somebody in the near future. I am grateful for having great parents, who raised me the right way as a "good" person.

For today, go on and do a good deed to someone.

59) Happy Valentine's Day

2/14/2017

It has been 7 days since I have written my last post. I have the fever (so I will make this post short and simple). I rarely get sick. Also, I have a huge headache and extreme chills. Obviously, I must continue drinking more water, and I must go back to bed.

​Today is the title of this post, "Happy Valentine's Day." I am still single. I am more happy than few months ago. Why come I was unhappy a few months ago? During Christmas, I looked at people's social media. (Couples seemed happy. It got to my head. I called myself, "A lonely blogger.") Now, I understand. Patience is the key. (Do not force the issue.)
​
I must sleep now. Good night! (This is the shortest post I have ever written.)

58) Attention

2/7/2017

Comments

 
​I believe mostly everybody likes at least some attention. I admit it. For instance, I am on social media. (That is attention.) Usually, uploaded pictures and videos from social media are the highlights of somebody's life.
​
​It depends on what type of attention I want though. Heck, I hate receiving overflowing, on-going junk (unnecessary) e-mail.

57) Dubs at Kings

Last night, I saw a great NBA game of the Sacramento Kings hosting the Golden State Warriors. (It was my birthday gift given to me from a good friend. He gave me lower level seats.) Everything was great, except the Dubs (nickname for Warriors) lost.

Here are some great plays from the Dubs shown below.

56) Go With the Flow

2/2/2017

I must always remind myself to never force the issue. In life, go with the flow. What does that mean? According to Google dictionary, it defines, "Be relaxed and accept a situation, rather than trying to alter or control it."

How to "go with the flow?" Here is a list (that I can think of right now) shown below of myself "going with the flow."
