Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
Did you wonder what I got for my second quiz? Well, I actually got 100 for my second quiz, where I wrote “Mun” instead of “Mon”. Haha I was so happy but it was for a bit because the teacher quickly made a revision and changed it to 90 🙈😂🙈😂 I knew because every time…
Now I want to share my experience of being sick in the States. It was the only time I have ever visited Campus Health Service, my first time visiting a doctor in the US. It happened at the end of my first semester in the US. Around December 2014. It’s not the kind of sickness…
Actually I hesitated to write about this because it involves my experience with the disabled. I don’t want to be considered rude, mean, or inconsiderate. But just for a heads-up, I’m not going to talk something negative about them. Not at all. I just want to share my experience. My apologies if you find some…
This week we had our first quizzes. On Tuesday, A-sensei (that’s the amazing teacher that signed my audit form) kept reminding us that we should do our quiz ourselves. We must not cheat. We must not copy our friends’, must not look at our friends’ answers, must not copy the homework as well. She repeatedly…
Have you ever known someone new in person and you feel comfortable or at least have no problem with him/her? You’re okay with him/her? Then some people tell you “bad things” bout him/her, from their past experience with him/her or what they heard from others. Then you’re worried that you’d face these bad sides of…
Second day of class (basically the first day we really learned Japanese), we started learning Japanese such as useful expression and the letters: there are there kinds, by the way: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. (But we are not learning Japanese here, so I don’t need to explain it to you 😜) . We use mostly…
This semester I am auditing Japanese 101. Yeah, I know I’ve been talking about my favorite Korean actors, so why Japanese? Why not learning Korean instead? Well, it’s a long story, but in short, I’ve been falling in love with Japan even before I got to know my fav Korean actors. When I was in…
Sadness is often portrayed as negative and bad that we often hide it. Whenever we feel sad, we quickly tell ourselves to be happy. Sometimes we feel bad for feeling sad. We feel worse for feeling bad. Endless. But, is it really not okay to feel sad or to show the world that we’re not…
Just recently I saw a friend’s post showing a conversation about how they were sick of people who whined showing a craving for a partner whenever they saw other friends’ getting engaged or married – just because they were single. This really gets me to think about feelings. I’m not in any way blaming this…
Happy New year 😊 Many seem to post reflections and resolutions. I hope whatever you wish for to happen this year will come true and work out for the best for you. As for me, I think I’ve stopped making such resolutions since some time ago, and I’d rather do my reflections on daily basis….
