Ky Tran - A bit of everything

I’ve got a 20-hour flight coming up next week, and I’m ready for it! I’ve loaded up on all the essentials—books, playlists, movies—everything I need to stay entertained up in the clouds. Sure, it’s a long haul, with engine noise and no internet. But honestly? More than anything, I just want one thing on that flight: a good, solid sleep. So I can land refreshed and ready to enjoy every moment of the trip.

Keeping your workspace clean helps boost productivity—and the same goes for your home. The tidier it is, the more comfortable and relaxed you feel. So yes, let’s do some cleanup this weekend and start next week feeling refreshed and ready to go!  

Last year, I discovered aquascaping, and it felt like magic. The idea of creating a little piece of nature inside my home—designing its look, nurturing the plants and fish, and just watching it come to life—completely drew me in. I've been hooked on this hobby for over a year now. At some point, I asked myself: why do I love this so much? And I think the answer is simple—I just really enjoy the beauty of nature.  

Someone I haven’t spoken to in over a decade suddenly messaged me asking for help. We weren’t even that close back then, so the whole thing felt a bit strange. And it really made me think—strong relationships don’t just magically exist when you need them. They’re built over time, through real connection, shared moments, and just checking in now and then. If you want something meaningful, it takes more than popping up when it’s convenient—it takes effort, even in the quiet seasons.
