10 Things That You Can Do at Home When It’s Too Cold to Go Out

10 Things That You Can Do at Home When It’s Too Cold to Go Out

Imagine drawing your curtains open after a good night’s sleep and you see the snow-covered sidewalks, cars, and your neighbors’ rooves. Luckily, today is your day off from work. You decide to stay at home to soak in the peacefulness of the morning.

In the midst of winter here in Calgary, it is quite a challenge to plan exciting outdoor activities with my friends due to the frigid weather.…

[POETRY]

Last November 21, 2018, I entered some of my original poems in TELUS #EndBullying Poetry Contest. With the time pressure and with my midterms coming up that day, I knew they won’t stand a chance from other competitors’ creations. But I still tried. I wanted these poems to be out there and to be read. Now, I’m sharing it here.

“I will.” Sometimes I come to visit myself if I make some friends, if I…

Introversion

Sometimes I wonder how it’s like to be an extrovert. To hang out with my friends and still feel energized. To be more open and approachable. To break my wall a little and breathe with lesser reservations up my nose. But what can I do when even little interaction drains me? I do love getting to know people and to see a little bit of their insight fascinates me. Paradoxical isn’t it?

I can easily…

The Morning After Binge-Eating

The Morning After Binge-Eating

I woke up this morning with my body aching all over. My initial thought was, “Wow, I must have been really tired from all those walking yesterday during the Black Friday!” But boy was I wrong. As I stood up on the way to the kitchen, my stomach felt like it’s carrying tons of rocks and I had this immediate thought to throw up. My body feels heavier and I could feel my face, bloated. So yeah, I…

A Portrait of An Individual Who Feels Too Much Part I

A Portrait of An Individual Who Feels Too Much Part I

I used to think that this side of me that feels too much is a burden, or a curse more so. I hated feeling helpless and detached as if the world is fine without me in it but I also thrive in the safe comfort of my mind as an introvert. Sometimes I have these moments when I feel so energized and positive to create new relationships that I’m okay with leaving that peace for a while.

The problem…

How do I know I am a millennial? I require no explanation for anything entertaining. I show my folks a funny video of a cockatoo having an argument with a dude jumping on its empty cage, and they’re like, Where did you find this? Why is that happening? I don’t know. I don’t care. It was on the Internet. That’s the only context I can give you.

Goals.

Every morning I get up early to get ready for work. And so every morning, I also get these train of thoughts of why's and how's. We, humans, could've just stayed in our bed until time runs out. We, could've just done all things without any planning. But we still make efforts. We still plan. We still bother surviving a day even if sometimes we feel like we are not even there. Ever had a moment while on your way home from work and thought, "tf just happened"? 😑 But now I kind of figured out why we still keep going. It's because we have GOALS. We have something to live for. In my case, I now remember that the reason I have this gap year between high school and college is to figure out what I want to be, save money and let my mind cool down. Working full-time made me forget all those. All I had in mind was me getting left out because of my busy schedule, and the pressure of having a new work. I haven't been working for more than a year until I got this job. I felt like a newbie again in the workforce of the entire world. I wasn't happy at all. Many times I would hate the way I feel before I go to work. But I know that when I survive those 45 nerve-wrecking minutes of overthinking before I go to work, I would also be able to survive 8 hours of work. To be clear, I do not hate my work. I just do not like the way I feel when I fail at something or when I did not meet someone's expectation. I contemplate, then feel depressed. Every morning I manage to pass through those thoughts. I pray. I ask for an amazing day. And guess what? Even though it wouldn't count as one of my best days ever, I still feel successful for getting through it. My goals for 2015-2016: Be more excellent at work Save up money Be more wise (applies with money and choosing friends) Do not let anybody make you feel any less Do fun things with worthy people Be happy Now listening to: Never Forget You by Zara Larrson ⓂⓇⓁⓁ ❥✉
