Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
So, well, Chapter 5 is over. We had the test last Thursday. As usual, we had listening, writing, grammar, and reading sections. The listening section was so fast! So really fast I wasn’t sure about what I heard and thus not sure about my answers. I think if I got them right, that’s mostly because…
The other day I made this poll on Instagram about how often we blame ourselves for things that didn’t turn out as we have expected and how often we make peace with ourselves such as spoiling/entertaining/forgiving oneself even when our efforts and hardwork seem to be unfruitful or unsatisfactory. The reason being is that I…
This would be my first entry for this category: Dream Journals. I had never thought of documenting my dreams this way until a friend talked about writing a dream journal, something to record our dreams, literal dreams, something we see and experience when we are sleeping. And I was like, “Yeah, why not? I wrote…
I finally got a perfect score in my chapter test! As you can see in the pic (and maybe from my previous stories), in the previous three chapters, I always got my scores reduced. But this time, in Chapter 4 Test, it was perfect! I am so happy 😁 Well, actually I wasn’t really expecting…
Hi, I know I should’ve posted bout this much earlier, but I just couldn’t make time. *Sigh My spring break has been over. And it was since about two weeks ago. The spring break in my university this year started much earlier. Usually it’s at the mid March or the end, or the begginning of…
Hi, it’s been a while, but here are some updates. Now we are beginning to learn Chapter 5. It means I’ve got a new partner and a new seat. But this time the change is a bit different. We still got to pick up the numbered stick as usual, but this time we can pick…
So the other day, a friend posted this thing about happiness on his Instagram story. He resented how people always asked what we had, if we were married, if we had a good job, etc. but we were hardly asked if we were happy. So I made a poll asking whether people were happy or…
The other day I ran into this tweet by Paulo Coelho: It really strikes me. I mean, that’s how I often feel, too. Not only “I love you” but something like, “I miss you”, “Where have you been? I’m worried.”, etc. Sometimes I’m afraid some people will think it’s cringey especially when we are not…
What is peace? What is safe? I have always tried to not talk about how dangerous it can be to live in the states. One of the reasons is that I don’t want to make my family at home worry. Another reason is that I feel Tucson is very safe. Nothing horrible has ever happened…
Being able to manage our money is one key to survival. Currently I happened to talk about someone who seems to be bad at managing money. I’m going to use “they” to refer to the person because I do not want to reveal the “gender” as a “giveaway”. I actually feel sorry for them but…
