Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
About things that I might have known but been too blind to be aware of and so I realized and thought I finally learned.
This is not my usual post but I need to put it here and, in case you didn’t know, who knows it can be useful for you too. Disclaimer: You can actually skip and go towards the end, the paragraph that starts with the bolded sentence 😉 Well, I’m an android user (can’t afford an…
When I was asked to speak in the “Scholarship Hunting: Exploring the world through scholarship” seminar, the committee requested me to encourage the participants so that they could feel motivated in applying for a scholarship to pursue their study abroad at the end of the event. I felt – and still feel – “dilemmatic” 🙈😅 Here…
Hatred is burdensome. It’s hard to be happy when you hate (so many things and) so many people. When you hate someone, you just can’t see him having fun or happy. You are angry all the time. You feel like you have to ruin the fun. You feel like you have to look like you’re…
I want to share my experience hunting for a “cheap ticket”. It was another drama. Well, my life is full of drama! 🙈😅 As I’ve said in my other post, I’m going to Manila for a conference at the end of next Month. I’ve been hunting for a cheap roundtrip ticket since I received the…
I always come up with random thoughts. The other day I wondered about this thing of hurting and getting hurt. I believe that at some points in our life, no matter how hard we try not to, we will hurt somebody. And we will get hurt, too. I believe you won’t only hurt people or…
At the end of this May, I am going to present in a conference in Manila, Philippines. It is sponsored by my scholarship, but within a certain budget. Thus, I buy a cheaper ticket to fly there just so it is covered by the budget and so that I don’t have to spend extra money…
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…
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 went to Lee Lee, it’s an international/oriental supermarket in Tucson, AZ. For me it’s basically like a paradise, one of my secrets of survival living away from home. Why? Well, Lee Lee sells stuff that I cannot in the US mainstream grocery stores such as Walmart, Fry’s, or other places. Lee…
The other day I went to a friend’s son’s birthday celebration. It was fun. But before that, my friend seemed to hesitate to invite me, not because she didn’t want to invite me, but because she was worried that it would be inconsiderate or inappropriate for me. She asked, “Do you celebrate birthdays?” I was…
