It’s around 9 p.m. now.The house is quiet. My phone is face down. The lights are softer than usual. This is the moment I protect the most. Not because it’s productive.Not because it checks anything off my list.But because it feels like a doorway. The space between doing and sleeping.The space between who I was […]

It was Sunday evening, 9:16pm.The kind of quiet where the week finally settles in your body. My legs were tired, but in a good way. Not the sharp, scary tired I remember from injury days. This was different. Warm. Earned. I had cycled 40km that morning. Nothing wild. Nothing to brag about. But enough to […]

9:20 PM, Thursday: A Day to Remember It’s Thursday evening, and the rain hasn’t let up for hours. I just returned from swim practice, drenched to the bone but glowing with pride. Today was not about performance. It wasn’t about setting a personal best or crushing the training set. It was about discipline. It was […]

Last night’s swim session was one of those moments when everything aligned. I had finished work at 5 p.m., had an early dinner—something I’ve learned the hard way not to skip—and headed to the pool with energy to spare. For a long time, I used to train after work on an empty stomach, simply pushing […]

Woohoo! After a few weeks of rest and recharging, I’m officially back on the grind. It feels amazing to return to training mode—this time with my eyes set on the Tri-Factor Ho Chi Minh Championship, happening on August 17. With a little over two months to go, I’m ready to rebuild my base and work […]

As I celebrate another trip around the sun, I find myself reflecting on the journey I’ve taken over the past year—a year filled with discovery, creativity, and personal growth. What started as a vague idea has slowly taken shape into something real and meaningful. This is the story of how Sunny Valley, a platform dedicated […]
