A-Z Challenge 2016: Q for Quiet People
A-Z Challenge 2016: D for Don’t Stop
I think this is a good quote for the topic because it kind of stand for what I’m doing at the moment. As some of you know, I was to move out last month but I chose to stay due to financial troubles and sometimes, I still regret my decision because I thought if I move out, I could forget everything and focus on myself for once but the truth is, with so much worries of financial troubles, I couldn’t focus on anything.
At the moment, I’m planning on December because that’s when I will finish my second undergraduate degree and hopefully have a better job. I know that December is still a long ways to go but I know that time can speed up if it wants to and I also know that as long as I don’t stop and keep pushing, I will eventually achieve my goals.

Safe Haven
As few of you know, I’ve been seeing a therapist since the beginning of this month and I think it’s time I update my current mental situation. Continue reading “Safe Haven”
Share Your World – 2016 Week #5
If you had a shelf for your three most special possessions (not including photos, electronic devices and things stored on them, people or animals), what would you put on it?
- This bottle of stars because even though the person who made this bottle of stars is no longer relevant as in we disconnected for good, this item still and will always represent the symbol of friendship.
- My collection of state and national parks quarters.I have three complete sets of state quarters and currently searching for national parks quarters.
- The tassels from my high school graduation and college graduation.
If you had a box labelled ‘happiness’, what would you put in it?
My notebook with a pen and my iPod, so I will have music and words with me everywhere I go.
What do you want more of in your life?
I would like more freedom and independence where I can make my own decisions without having to think of the repercussion (mom’s reaction). Like a few weeks ago, I specifically heard mom say, “I need you to go to Dollar Tree and get some trays.”
I went to Dollar Tree the next day and spent 15 minutes picking out a baking tray to my (mom)’s satisfaction but when she got home that night and asked about the bowls, I was confused. Don’t you mean trays?
It turned out she wanted me to get the large plastic bowls in which we wash the vegetables. The next day, I tried to find the receipt but it was gone. I was so afraid. She would’ve said I’m stupid or that I’m absentminded and shouted for hours and hours. Well, let’s just say I didn’t tell her of my mistake. So you see, I don’t want to spend forever to analyze her reaction in every decision. I like to just focus on making a decision for me for a change.
Daily Life List: What do you do on an average day? Make a list of your usual activities you do each day.
Well, it depends. On weekdays, I get up real early, check blog notification on my tablet, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth and wash my face, then it’s off to school. After school, sometimes I go to work for a few hours before coming home, eat dinner, watch TV, read a few blogs before showering and heading to bed.
Weekends? It depends, on weekends like this where mom is off to her monthly training and I’m alone with no means of transportation, I’ll sleep-in and just spend the day blogging and doing homework while watching a few travel and cooking show in the afternoon. It’s a weekend where everything is very simple.
On other weekends, anything can happen. Mom can be rushing me to work or taking me out somewhere.

What is your favorite piece of art? (it doesn’t have to be famous)
I’m don’t have a favorite individual piece of art. If I like art, I will usually like the whole genre. For example, Renaissance, Realism, etc. This sculpture is one of my favorites. It looks like two fingers crossed which means hopeful and optimistic.
What made you smile today?
Nothing yet, it’s still early, maybe when I’m done with my projects for my computer class? What made me smile yesterday, though, was that I successfully installed VirtualBox and Fedora onto my other laptop. VirtualBox is a virtual drive which allows me to run a DVD without actually using a DVD and Fedora is sort of like Linux, a lesser known operating system. This made me smile because I usually don’t have a lot of luck when it comes to installing something like a separate user interface. That’s the part that always trips me.
Which place do you recommend as a Must-See? Please state which country, state or providence.
I would recommend checking out the national parks in Southern Utah (the red rocks area). It’s absolutely amazing especially if you make the 90-minute hike to see the Delicate Arch. Unlike my mom, I want to go there again.
Complete this sentence: When I was younger I used to….
When I was younger, I used to sing and play the piano, privately, of course, when no one’s looking or listening. I have very bad stage fright, still do. Maybe one day, I will finally conquer it. Maybe…

As a child, who was your favorite relative?
Although I didn’t know her very long and very well, my favorite relative has to be my step-grandmother. She is the best grandmother I could’ve ever have.
If you could be a tree or plant, what would you be?
I am not sure. I am torn between a well-cared-for plant or a very tall tree in a preserved forest.
What would be your preference, awake before dawn or awake before noon?
Awake before noon because then I can stay up later. Waking up before dawn means I will be tired and sleepy quicker and that means I will miss out on all the night events like concerts and parties (that might happen when I’m alone). So I think I would wake up a little later than a little earlier.
Would you like to sleep in a human size nest in a tree or be snuggled in a burrowed spot underground?
Underground, although both sounds equally uncomfortable but because I have fears of heights and falling, I think being underground would be a safer option for me. However, after doing some research of what a “burrowed spot” means, I change my mind. I would rather be dangling from a tree than lie on dirt.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am happy that last week is over. It wasn’t a good week for me. My emotions were all over the place and I wasn’t a pleasant person to deal with. School is starting again next Monday. So I am spending most of this week catching up on my TV shows and writing.
Dear Mom
I am writing this letter because there’s been lots on my mind and living with you hadn’t made it any easier. I also want to I’m sorry I’ve been a little cranky lately. I know I should say it to your face instead of writing it here but let’s face it, I can never do that. You’d say I deserve it and give me one of your a-waste-of-time lectures.

1000th Post: First Time Clothes Shopping
Wow, I can’t believe it. 1000 posts, I was worry I wouldn’t make it before 2015 comes to an end but I did. Anyway, the 1000th post is a special post, took me two years to reach this spot. Therefore I am not going to spend it on my regular scheduled Monday Coffee House Ramble. Instead, I will tell you about my first time clothes shopping, solo clothes shopping, as in on my own.

What would be your ideal birthday present, and why?
I used to prefer some kind of monetary gift such as money, gift card, etc. but nowadays, I think spending a day where I’m not bothered would be good too.
What color would you like your bedroom to be?
I am horrible at choosing colors or anything. So I think instead of color, I will choose a more expensive path, have an artist to come paint a mural.
Would you prefer snowy winters, or not, and why?
No I do not prefer snowy winters because snow means there’s ice and for me, that’s a nightmare. I had a horrible experience early 2013 when the ice storm hit Utah. I almost ended up crawling to the bus stop that day after slipping on the ice numerous times that day, even wearing special boots.
Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?
Can I at least wash my hair? A week without washing my hair would result in a greasy nightmare. Other than that, I think I would choose a week without bathing but I can change my clothes.

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?
I am definitely not a hugger. Whenever someone hugs me, my heart would always pound nervously. I don’t know why and the worst part is, people tend to give me the awkward one-arm half-hug. It’s the most awkward thing ever when someone twice sometimes three times my size tries to give me a half-hug. It’s like they can wrap their arms all the way around me but I can barely reach half-way.
What is your favorite toppings on pizza?
I like almost all the toppings on pizza except for any type of mushrooms, onions, seafood including fish, and other weird things like marshmallow. Don’t laugh, I think I’ve seen a marshmallow pizza before. My all-time favorite pizza though, has to be sausage and pepperoni pizza. Mmm…
If you were the original designer of one existing corporate logo, which one would you select?
Coca-Cola. I don’t know why I choose that except that I know I would be rich. I learned from my accounting classes, the Coca-Cola logo worth a lot.
Complete this sentence: Where I can seek my solace is… 
Anywhere that can provide me with peace and serenity. Anywhere that allows me to drift off temporarily to somewhere faraway.
The Best Thanksgiving
I can hardly believe it. Thanksgiving has come and gone this year and Christmas is coming in a month and 2016 in less than 5 weeks! This year feels like it’s just breezed by. It was just 12 weeks ago that I began school and now, I’m two weeks away from finals. Continue reading “The Best Thanksgiving”
