My boyfriend and I are adventurers... in theory. We love watching films together, we love cooking together, we love japanese foods, vietnamese foods, indonesian, chinese, italian, etc. But we've been so hectic lately that it seems like it's hard to find the time to date or even places that won't break our wallets. So, on a wednesday night, after he got back from his work trip, we were hanging out... » Continue Reading
And they say romance is dead I’ve been feeling so down these past few weeks. I feel like even my hobbies don’t motivate me anymore— not even the usual academic ambition to keep me going. Just straight up constantly tired and bed rotting. And I think I’m in that state where, seeing other people and having them sort of rely on me to vent, and with my usual attitude of nonchalantly ignoring my own p... » Continue Reading
So, a few days ago I wrote about how overwhelmed I was with my own ambitions; and while having ambitions are a good thing, I needed to remember to slow down and give myself some breathing room. Now, what does “slowing down” look like when you’re on the move? Currently I’m on a family trip across my country. We rode our car and spent most of the day driving through what seemed like endless roads. I... » Continue Reading
I woke up the other day with some rage-worthy news. I don't like being angry, but sometimes life makes you. Whether you like it or not. I won't say which country I'm from, but my government must be at one of the most all time lowest state in history right now. And in amidst so many disappointing news, there was one where I felt like it was the tip of the cake: There were instances of burning books... » Continue Reading
Ever felt such admiration for those around you that your heart feels like it could burst with pride and joy? A feeling of warmth at their kindness, or a trait of theirs, or simply them being there. A million love and hugs to those surrounding me. My lover, my family, my friends. It seems like a great history is unfolding, with them as the principal figures, and I'm a willing observer. I'm sorry i... » Continue Reading
To be or not to be? That is the question. To conform, or to rebel? To be oneself or lose oneself. It seems like in the 21st Century that's all anyone could ever think about. To think that major social movements happened only in the past 200 years -ish means that everything is a lot more complex than it were before. Everyone can see that a lot of fashion and sosio-political movements came about wi... » Continue Reading
Today I attempted to do some productive things, only to realize I have some major issues to work on— impatience and procrastination. I woke up wanting to workout (spoiler alert: i didn’t lmao), then i tried writing (only got to a page), i tried reading too but that didn’t last long, tried to finish sewing a top only to realize that something was wrong with the threads and i’m too frustrated to con... » Continue Reading
Hello, Internet! It's my first actual post in this website, believe it or not. And I'm sure if anyone would actually read it, but here goes nothing. Maybe deep down, the "internet kid" in me wanted to be a part of the old internet again, away from all the toxicity on other sites. Maybe I missed the feeling of anonymity and expressing yourself to the fullest (without being an asshole or a whole cri... » Continue Reading
