A Cup of Coffee



It is finally winter. The chill from winter wind is unbearable, hands are getting frozen and skin got too dry. Winter. What do you think of when Winter comes? My first thought would be White Christmas. But at this point, white Xmas seems just so far away with the amount of work that serves as the hurdles we have to get past before that Golden Medal of White X'mas can be ours. Winter just marks the end of another year, a time to do another reflection of a zillion things we have done in yet another 365 days. I have done a lot of wrongs, I wasted my time and wonderful things did happen too. It is always a cycle each year that just going to be another memory etched in our minds at the end of the day. At the final run, we'd look back and asked ourselves: is there any regret?

A cup of coffee has always been a good companion to do some reflection, to take a break from the hustling buzzing busy-ness of school life. This morning I bought another cup of Hazelnut latte from what only seems the only hang out cafe available in my school. At each sip, I looked around me. Ah, that bald man with the newspaper seemed to be so engrossed with his readings. Some other people seemed to be too tired to do anything that they just focus on their food and drink. And that girl beside me, she snorted so loud and I had no idea what exactly was running through her mind that she could do such a thing.

It is interesting to watch everyone going through their routines and then you start to wonder: are they in the same plight as I am? Or are they happy? Maybe in worse situation? 
Usually I'll start telling myself that these people are equally tired and that I am not alone. Self-assurance, I'd call it. That cup of coffee and a moment of taking my mind to wander off to elsewhere made me happier. And at the very last sip, I was ready to face the world again and get back to my routines. I sighed. But I know that no matter what, even if I live or die, the world will still go on. So, why not make the best of it right? :)

If you are somewhere in this world reading this and are feeling very tired, get a cup of coffee, free your mind for a bit and relax. Remember you are never alone in whatever plight you are in. Give in your best shot cos the taste of regret is the most bitter of all thing. And if you happen to encounter anyone who are in need of encouragement, be the light for them and it'll make you happy too. Good luck and have a great day ahead.

Loves.

Tattoo

So a friend of mine is adding a tattoo on his rib cage. I have always wanted getting a small tattoo myself but my family is against it. And after thinking for years, I guess if I really wanted to, I could wait until I am married and that my future husband approves it. Anyway, back on his tattoo. this kid is a carefree young soul despite him being older than me! And reckless as it sounds, he still has no clue what to be drawn on him while it's just gonna be another 2 weeks more before he is gonna get one. He asked me to help him pick one, something that I think describes him, and that he would follow my advise and won't go on if I don't approve. Little did he know, I am such a fickle minded person! but it's so fun, looking thru pictures, finding ideas. I even feel nervous for him because that thing is going to be permanent. I used to have a friend who had a few tats. Every tattoo was drawn when he got out from a near-death experience. It's a memor...

The Moment When You Want to Quit

Hi peeps! Here I am again writing as Spring break is coming in a few hours' time. In 24 hours I'd probably be on my way to Chicago O'Hare airport to take off to Orlando. Miami here I come! But before that, depressing moments always come to distract. So here I am trying to let off the steam before the break officially starts! The Moment. Have you ever have that life-crushing moment when you just get so paralyzed? Like a break-up? Or someone's death? Or major failure in general? That moment just have to happen in our lives at one time or another somehow. Like the God(s) just couldn't let us go with the rainbow sprinkled happy life. No. They say challenges in life keeps you stronger but it just don't make sense you see. yeah, just don't. My Moment. So as a college student who is working my fat and bones off for the grades, this semester has not been treating me great, again. I mean, I probably am at fault for not putting a hundred percent of my heart an...

Emotion

Emotion is a weird thing. How the hormones in your body reacted to what your senses tell you. It stirred you up. You heard the untrue and you get angry. The heart beats so fast, your head starts spinning, your body heating up and you began trembling. There is this inner energy you need to let go. There is this screaming within you that you need to let out. All from the mere words you heard from the people who usually matter the least in your life. And the next moment you see something exciting. Like your favorite football team winning the national championship or when you saw someone you love after not meeting them for awhile. Again, your heart starts beating so quickly, but this time it's different. You feel this emotion within you that couldn't stop you from smiling, dancing even. You want to tell the world how happy you are, you start telling people and infecting them with your happiness. Funny how happiness is contagious. So when you feel angry, sad, disappoin...
