Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
This is where I try to reflect on the things I see, read, listen, observe, etc, think about them and see what I can do to improve myself.
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.,…
This post has been sitting in my draft folder for too long. Actually, I initially posted this as a caption on my Instagram post, but, well, you know, it’s kinda limited how long I could post a caption on Instagram, so I guess I want to elaborate more here. Well, it’s been a while since…
I posted some quotes before (read here!) But I’ve still got a lot. I’m kinda crazy about “quotes”. When I listen to a song, watch a movie or a drama, or read a book, and then encounter beautiful sentences, whether it is motivational, inspirational, or simply shoves the reality onto my face, I love them….
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…
This time I want to post some quotes that I’ve been gathering from books that I’ve read, doramas and movies that I’ve watched, and perhaps some lyrics of the songs I’ve listened to, etc. Well, I used to write this down in my physical diary back then. But now I don’t really keep a physical…
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…
It’s a bit late, but, Happy New Year 🙂 Well, actually I don’t know what to write for 2020 highlights and reflections. I mean, you know how 2020 has been right? But, well, since I wrote one for 2018 and 2019, I just feel like I have to write something for 2020. Maybe calling it…
Note: I recommended some movies in the last paragraphs. I made this post because a while ago, my mutual on Twitter asked about whether or not someone who’s made a terrible mistake deserves an apology and a second chance. They asked me to share my thoughts. I wrote my thoughts there but then I think…
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,…
People often tell me stories, and I love it. (I mean, I love stories, right?) Sometimes they tell me “bad stuff” about someone we both know, and I try to listen and stay neutral. Well, I don’t think it’s fair to judge something only based on one-sided stories, but again, I don’t want to invalidate…
