Each lantern represents a wish, goal, or dream. Hanging from those are our social threads, a group of co-conspirators in helping make the dream happen. This is the basic idea behind my envisioned “social support application”. By getting to the heart of what we and our friends enjoy doing (in my case, helping others pursue their passions), we can begin to ask ourselves, “Am I in a career that helps others (including myself) achieve their highest potential? Or am living in an illusion of productivity?” Sure, I can get a license and become a notary public and make some money and fulfill a need in the market (to some degree), but that just means I’m going to wrap myself up in busywork when what I really want to achieve is to create a web application. The problem is, I can spend forever trying to learn to build one from scratch. But maybe I have friends who can contribute a little bit. Maybe I can shorten my time in achieving that vision by relying on others on areas where I am most weak.</p> <p>Source photo: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kayayarai/2514860049/">Vietnamese lantern</a> by Kari Halsted.</p>http://baohouse.net/post/44023245261http://baohouse.net/post/44023245261Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:53:00 -0800vietnamesevietnamese americanlanternsupportinspirationdreamsStudent Band (Soulful Obsession) Releases New EP With Release Party: avamusic: (SJSU Spartan Daily)...http://baohouse.net/post/43929450802http://baohouse.net/post/43929450802Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:28:00 -0800vietnamesevietnamese americanmusic<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f0ca8152e40d267d804ac507d00a283e/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo7_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/370450b88060cbecee1a13878d7170f4/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b447f978f964e4e73b58dfb4d22cf1b3/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5681422550358d2576660c27f45962e1/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8579bcf1297cf171b7b0ed4471a9ca06/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1b376af8d0af96023ad56024bf51ee57/tumblr_minoj2B5IU1qexeemo4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://vietlicious.storenvy.com" title="Vietlicious store">Vietlicious Tees Store</a></p> <p>Best friend’s wedding or bust: I’m selling all my remaining t-shirts.</p>http://baohouse.net/post/43779003425http://baohouse.net/post/43779003425Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:30:00 -0800vietnamesevietnamese americanapparelshirtst-shirtsfashionBạn thương Kim tells me to just sell my leftover Vietlicious tees inventory to raise money to attend...http://baohouse.net/post/43341483669http://baohouse.net/post/43341483669Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:24:00 -0800shirtst-shirtsvsavietnamesevietnamese americanCleaning up my garage, I sorted a stack of papers that belonged to CayDa Foundation, a nonprofit a...http://baohouse.net/post/43130361572http://baohouse.net/post/43130361572Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:12:46 -0800organizingnonprofitmusicnước mắm cá: VietUnity on KPFA Apex Express tonight!: nuocmamca: “February 14th seems as good a day...http://baohouse.net/post/43096018637http://baohouse.net/post/43096018637Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:01:38 -0800$1000 more to publish DVAN book on Southeast Asian Women's Art and Literature: The Diasporic...http://baohouse.net/post/43056988087http://baohouse.net/post/43056988087Wed, 13 Feb 2013 20:34:32 -0800Hmmm&#8230; after many years of participating in a myriad of activities, I needed to step back and...http://baohouse.net/post/42644485501http://baohouse.net/post/42644485501Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:33:00 -0800The Stanford Vietnamese Student Association Responds To Stanford Professor’s Offensive Article: The...http://baohouse.net/post/42494604320http://baohouse.net/post/42494604320Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:36:48 -0800stanfordvsavietnamesevietnamvietnamese american The Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California (VABANC) has awarded the annual...http://baohouse.net/post/41899533028http://baohouse.net/post/41899533028Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:35:00 -0800vietnamesesan josevietnamese americanlawlegaladvocacyOneVietnam volunteers with Habitat for Humanity: Calling for 30 volunteers to lend a hand in...http://baohouse.net/post/41722222380http://baohouse.net/post/41722222380Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:38:29 -0800vietnamese americanvolunteeringhousing<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7c8bd24f37c09552e49c44ff6a828c44/tumblr_mhaqz3lX9T1qexeemo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pham_Duy">Phạm Duy</a>, a prolific musician whose life and career spanned some of the most turbulent parts of Vietnamese history, passed away Sunday (January 27, 2013) at his home in Vietnam, eight years after returning to his birth country from Orange County, California.
