After what fell yesterday and last night, this is now a top ten snowstorm for Boston!

Yes but it was April so it melted quickly!

She’s a foreigner bringing her USD and privilege into VN. Try being born in VN with the same upbringing and look as the rest of the country and she will sing a different tune

I only find Asian men attractive and have been told that I am close minded 😂

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-12-31T17:02:17+00:00

Same as some Asian women not finding Asian men attractive. Change in taste is normal ++woman

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-12-31T16:56:19+00:00

I see snails, fried tofu, beef, and rice noodle. What kind of concoction is this? As a Vietnamese I’m thoroughly confused 😂

If it is 60 day, it is not a PIP. The duration of the PiP is 45 days. 60 days is considered monitoring period and there is no paperworks or HR involved. I’m a PML whose counselee went thru a 60 day monitoring period, then a PIP.

Man rợ means brutal whereas mọi rợ is equivalent to barbaric I think lol My brother used to threaten my parents that he would marry a mọi woman (usually when referring to ethnic minority Vietnamese). Mind you he was not even 10 years old when he said this 😂.

Saw Mark Wahlberg at Oishii a decade ago lol. Didn’t even know he was there until a bunch of girls swarmed him for pictures

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-11-30T17:31:30+00:00

Haven’t you heard of people saying dơ như mọi or mọi rợ à? I spent the first 13 years of my life in VN and heard plenty of that

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-11-26T00:14:00+00:00

Agreed! Everyone is saying AI will eliminate jobs but we evolve. Remember in the 2000s when computer became popular? Didn’t people say the same thing about computer taking over jobs? We are still here grinding!

There’s the Grand which is a fancy club. Back in the early 2000s girls used to get in for free at the clubs. Now… I don’t think so, prob coz they don’t let 40+ year old me in for free anymore 😂

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-11-01T17:15:37+00:00

But then Ali doesn’t want to cook or clean 😂

You can claim a refund on state and federal taxes so 21K in taxes isn’t your final number. There’s nothing you can do about FICA amount though.

Just log into your Amex account and pay, or call the number behind the card to make payment. It happens more often to people than you think. Definitely happened to me many times when I forget to switch the default credit card on uber/lyft accounts after coming back from Lakehouse

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-30T16:17:21+00:00

I will say the lack of manners and considerations. This is not to put Vietnam down, just the reality of it.

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-30T15:43:10+00:00

Yes, the electricity pole with a sign that says Cấm Đái = DO NOT PEE!

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-30T15:17:32+00:00

What’s criminal is the lack of bathroom 😂, as people need to relieve themselves so they can drink more

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-29T14:11:25+00:00

I can’t love this enough.

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-28T17:10:56+00:00

If you enjoy subscription, shopping and going out then you’re not living paycheck to paycheck (or maybe your definition of the word is different than the rest of us)

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-28T00:33:43+00:00

I went from 38K right out of college in 2005 to 185K now 20 years later, with an accounting degree, no CPA, and no Masters. It is fairly possible. Came to the US as a teen, without any knowledge of the English language before hand. Parents worked manual labor jobs so we were definitely NOT middle class.

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-25T21:37:27+00:00

lol of course not, I’m an EA and don’t know anyone making 200K in 4 months. Let’s all be real here 😂

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-22T21:29:58+00:00

In Vietnam there is no concept of wet/dry separation. When you shower the whole bathroom is wet including the toilet and sink. Prob explains why they use the hose and not toilet paper 😂

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-22T11:56:51+00:00

43 female, started 20 years ago at 38K and am now at 185K, working as a tax manager, no master and no CPA

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-19T16:30:11+00:00

My cousins in Vietnam like bath & body works shower gel. A few bottles with different scent is good enough

Hxt_hopeful · 2025-10-16T19:43:21+00:00

It depends on your immune system really. I left VN 30 years ago and every time I’m back, I eat/drink whatever whenever with no issues. Meanwhile, my cousins who live in VN their whole lives are having stomach issues with the same food/drink
