Congrats from the USA!


Hello reader!

Happy Wednesday to all of you. Well, my Wednesday has not been a good one but let's see, it'll get better!   Today's post will be dedicated to a friend of mine!

Today, the first thing I did when I opened my eyes were to check all my social network accounts as if I was not late enough to go to school. Yeah, you name it, my phone has it. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram or even G+. So anyway, what there was one thing that made me smile today:




Nah, that was not me who got the 1st prize in blog writing competition. It was my friend, Kent, whom last I remembered was majored in Math instead of Creative Writing. I have always been a fan since he started his blog. There was no fancy phrases nor was there any rainbow-glitter-glossy kind of blog skin. It was a simple and meaningful blog. It is the kind of blog that you just want to keep reading because it was so honest and easy to relate to. I never miss a single post until now and I do plan to keep on being a loyal fan of his blog. If anyone's wondering what is that awesome blog is, you can check it here.

I remembered ever meeting him infront of the ME building in school. We were kind of just acquaintances, actually. I barely see him around in school except during big events. That fateful day I met him and we had a 5 minutes chat under the sunny weather. I asked him why was he studying math- a question which a zillion people might prolly shot at him before I did. He said he wanted to be a writer and I said try it, why not. And now his passion led him to such a great achievement, I feel so proud to know this man and his decision to follow his heart's desire:)

There are a few blogs that I keep track on and I always admire those bloggers for being so open, for wanting to share of their life's up and downs. I guess I need to thank them for making me have the courage to once more write. I have been blogging in the quiet for over 7 years now. Initially, the posts are open to public, and then I took a step back and lock them all up and kept it like a silly dusty old diary. But here I am now, back to what relieve me from all the problems that could ever bring me down. 

So, if you are like me who hesitated and doubted yourself of being able to achieve something, take a look around you, find an inspiration and don't give up, it's always worth a try. We may not be prefect but it's better to try with all the imperfections rather than hiding and not giving it any chance at all. Plus, doing something you really like can cause no harm:) You will still end up happy even if you don't excel. 

xoxo,

Lin

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...
