Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
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….

I first knew Koizora as a Japanese movie. Many say it’s a sad movie. Simply put, you can’t be with the person you love because of one and another thing. Sad, right? But I’m not going to talk about the movie here. I’m going to talk about the sky. Koizora means sky of love. That’s…
A: What is the difference between meddling and interest? *B keeps asking questions* A: Why do you keep asking? It’s annoying. B: If that’s how you feel, then it’s meddling. From my perspective, stemming from concern, it’s interest. (Jugglers, eps 4, conversation between Nam Chi Won and Hwang Bo Yool) This makes me think about…
Sometimes, our fears and worries are imaginary. Often, we cannot help it. They just pop out in our head, making us scared to do what we want to do. Us, people with insecurities, constantly struggling to muster up courage and boost our confidence. And even if the fears are proven unnecessary for one time, we…
