If Then How

It’s been a while since I last type here, officially. When it comes to being opinionated on the internet, people are bound to criticize. Not that it’s odd, but I don’t deal with it well. Hence the lack of post. Though I always reassure myself time and time again that I would do it regularly, …

Froze the One-Third in a Jar

What had happened for the past four months? Surprisingly, a lot. Work has been really stimulating, and meeting new people brings out newer sides of me. An introverted person with mild social anxiety would be struggling to adjust, and that's me right after I wrote the last post but I'm getting there. Right now? I'm …

“Do I look ‘blah’ to you?”

To say your life is dormant is highly unacceptable. The word is applicable to plants, and they have more power than we can possibly imagine, however motionless they may seem to be. It also works on volcanoes, to state the status of temporarily inactive behavior it has. But not humans, necessarily. To animals, it means …

Qualm: It Exists Under a Common Term

It's fear, doubt, or anxiety especially over one's own conduct. Believe me, I've checked with Google under the search term 'Definitions of qualm'. It's there but barely. For some, it lingers for a longer period and sometimes it never goes away. Others have tried to suppress it with medications or meditations yet it only fades …

Coastal Wish

I am currently watching Homes by the Sea on NatGeo now. There is a lot of grandiose abodes with marvelous interiors and stuff. When will I get to that point in life, being able to waltz into my own home and gobbled up the seaview as you enter the living room? That would be immensely …

Fortnight Resolution

It's only fair that I got to catch up with all my posts-print and online-to make a resolution in celebration of the new year. Well, since I am now at my quarter 20s (does that even exist) my only resolution is that I live through 2017. That's all. At one point, this blog is a …

Being Sincere All Day Is Not Healthy.

Wouldn't you agree, that being nice is the most sincere and spontaneous thing you could ever done to someone? It's just that default setting in someone's soul to be nice, even if it's just telling them they're on the right train platform or even helping with their bag and talking about their how nice their …

I’m Feeling 22 (but I’m not sure everything will be alright.)

I have been experiencing various and increasingly intensified internal struggle for the past few weeks. To be honest with you, this is written on the eve of my birthday three days ago with nothing but pure irritation towards the world. To think that you would at least feel elated to sing Taylor Swift's 22 and …

That Pause Before Adult-ing the Adult Stuff.

Suddenly it dawned on me, that I am a grown up person who recently passed thesis defense and currently awaiting on graduation. This is not the average high school grad, this is the college grad. The last formal graduation I'll ever have, that is until I start another study trying to get doctoral hopefully. My …

Is Being Anxious a Good Thing?

I'm sure others have different way—and sometimes extreme way—of experiencing anxiousness. Right now as I'm assessing my schedule through and trying to get it together, there's a big special date I circled in. Unfortunately, it's not a social event or a date in general. It's my thesis defense, next Monday afternoon. Seeing all those social …
