The airline industry needs to revamp their business model including drastic changes…
I’m not sure why this hasn’t been discussed more, but in my opinion, air travel needs a major, major revamp. If they want to bring business back and increase passenger safety, it’s time to rethink everything.
Confidence: Some People Just Don’t Have It
I know someone who has a great family, a great job with many years of service, excellent job reviews and a great group of friends. This person has talents both at work and in his hobbies, but yet doesn’t have confidence. No matter how many awards received, no matter how many accolades won, it just doesn’t matter.

The Elections Caused My Sugar To Spike
No kidding…my blood sugar yesterday was unusually high all day, and I discovered that stress/anxiety can cause your body to stop producing insulin, which obviously caused blood sugar to increase.
It wasn’t stress that was something I could control. Let’s hope this election is finalized accurately and quickly.
Will you travel with a family in this post-COVID world?
Let me get this out there. My family wants to go on a trip. That being said, my family is pretty good at staying home too, so as much as we can’t wait to travel somewhere, I’m finding a lot of issues with travel, specifically air travel in this post-COVID world.

How do you keep your photos and various digital media preserved for the future?
Updated 07.07.2020
Not sure if I’m worrying too much or overthinking things, but I like to plan, and one of those things I plan for is my eventual demise. I realize life is fragile, and now with little ones to take care of, that realization is even more present everyday. I want my family to be okay even if I’m not here. One of the less important items is how to preserve all the images, videos, and random things for my kids, and just as importantly, how do I make sure they get them in the event I’m not here.

A little about myself…
I’m a 40 something, married with a family of 2 young kids. I work in the tech industry and have been for my entire career. I am an Asian American, born and raised in the USA. I’d consider myself middle class with a mortgaged home. I’ve lived in various parts of the country — both on the east and west coasts, but I have not lived in the middle. I love my country, but not the direction things are headed in.
I do know I have been blessed with many opportunities, and I believe in trying to give back. I try to surround myself with people who will inspire and motivate me to be better. I believe there is always room to improve things, even the smallest of things. I believe in trying my best.
I’ll share more about myself in the future, but I do intend to keep this blog semi-anonymous, but honestly, don’t actually expect it to stay that way. We live in an age when it’s better to live like anything you do online is publicly available. Maybe I’ll blog about that later.
Stayed tuned for the next entry. I’ll try to post a few times a week.
Google rejected my site for ads because I have no content 😢
As I learn, actually re-learn, many of the details of starting up a website, one of the things I’m currently working on is getting ads on my site. The reason for this is because it’ll help me pay for hosting this site and renewing my domain name. I just got denied, but hoping this time it goes through as I do plan to post much more about all the things I learn everyday about whatever.
In case you are trying to enable Google AdSense on your site, here’s what they sent me as suggestions on approving my site for ads. Maybe it’ll help you as well:

Why is whatever, whatever while wherever is not whereever?
Little odd nuances to the English language.
I still get confused with ending sentences in quotes like “. or .”
And now they changed possessives that ended with the letter s so you should use ‘s vs. just a ‘. 😠
Other words English things that mix me up:
- Some reason I always instinctively write “bear with me” when it should be “bare with me”.
- I’m pretty sure may be and maybe are different, but not totally sure.
- I still remember the first time I pronounced subtle in my English class incorrectly.
I’m sure I’ll remember more odd nuances in the future…tagging this as an in progress entry.
Wear a Mask!
During this pandemic: wear. a. mask.
This blog is new. It’s about whatever. Sometimes, I’ll write about a serious issue like masks.
It’s not about you. It’s about protecting the people around you, your friends, and your family. It’s about caring for those around you. It’s about treating each other with respect. It’s being a grown ass adult. It isn’t a political issue. It doesn’t make you look weak. I’d argue it does just the opposite.
Also note, a mask will help with ALL respiratory illnesses like the flu. Flu season is right around the corner and COVID-19 plus the Flu could be devastating.
