The fact that you can read this post means I am done with my revision and now only waiting for my official diploma and transcript. So, I guess, congraduations to myself? ^^ Anyway, I’ll divide this post into two, a story about my defense, which you can skip, and a reflection on getting my Ph.D., …
Graduation: Ph.inishe.D but not Over
If you read this, it means I have officially defended my dissertation and passed. Technically, I’ve already got my Ph.D. The typical tagline would be, “Now you can call me Dr.” LoL But, ugh, well, that title is quite burdensome because I think people will have expectations and I really am not up for it. …
My First Online Concert: Hey! Say! JUMP
Soooooo, this might not be my first time seeing my favorite people, Hey! Say! JUMP, performing online. Like, I’ve watched them several times performing in some TV musical events, or Johnny’s New Year’s countdown, or Johnny’s Happy Live with You when Covid first hit last year (in 2020), but that’s JUMP performing with other artists …
Be Nice and Kind, Make Others Happy, and Be Happy Yourself
One of the happiest moments in my life is when someone told me that I helped them in the past but I don’t remember anything about it. It makes me feel good and better about myself somehow because, I’ll be honest, there are times when I am kind and nice to people because I want …
Books, Knowledge, and Privilege
Lately, I’ve been spoiling myself by getting the books I’ve loved, wanted but couldn’t afford, and I realize how expensive books can be! Well, I knew it’s expensive but back then I had no intention to buy so I didn’t bother checking the prices. I mean, why bother looking up the prices when I knew …
Know-Me Games (Part IV)
I’ll try to combine two games that I played on Twitter. I decided to combine the two games into one post because I don’t want to post too many about these games about myself. But I still want to post them, so let’s just put them altogether here. Well, I played the two games before …
Friendship: How do You Define A Friend?
How many friends do you have? How do you know they are your friends? How do you define a friend? This topic becomes kinda intriguing to me lately. I know that before, in another post, I said that “…either I’m friends with nobody or I’m friends with everybody.” (You can read it here). However, really, …
Get to Know Me (Part 3)
Honestly, I don’t know why I am posting this here, not to mention it’s the third time after Get to Know Me Part I and Get to Know Me Part II! (As if my other posts weren’t about me! LoL) I mean, sometimes I do think something like, “Nobody wants to get to know me, …
Get to Know Me: Another “Game”
I decided to post this game I played on my fandom account here because there is this one question the answer to which I have never shared with a single soul who knows me. Not my friends, colleagues, and not even my sister, my parents, or my family. I know that they might not read …
My Privilege: Supportive Parents
I was poor but I did have my privileges. While I wasn’t financially privileged, I was emotionally supported to pursue my education. In the last post I was questioning myself if I was entitled enough to share my stories with the students in my high schools, not only because I don’t think I have been …
