Hello December 2024 ✨

Reaching the 12th month of the year marks the approach of the year’s end. It is a time for gathering with family and loved ones, exchanging gifts, celebrating Christmas, and preparing for the new year ahead. As I walked through the mall, I couldn’t help but notice the wide variety of planners—each with beautiful designs, well-organized pages, and high-quality covers. Are you one of those people who loves picking up a new planner for the upcoming year? I am, too, but I’ve never been able to consistently stick with it all the way through December. That’s why I’m so impressed by those who manage to record their plans and activities regularly, whether in a traditional notebook or a digital planner. Today marks the first day of December, and it’s also my father’s birthday! Birthdays are always special to me because they remind me to thank God for another year of life, for the gift of time, and for the opportunity to celebrate the person being honored. Life is unpredictable, and we can never truly know …

Do it now

I don’t know how to describe some recent scenarios in my life, but I want to take a risk and do it. I know I am nervous and scared of doing new things alone and outside of my comfort zone, but I believe in myself. I know I can do it, especially if I am given a chance. Have you ever imagined what your dream job, business, or company would be? These questions always come to mind, and I think about every single detail and ask myself what I really want in life. When I was in high school, I loved using computers. I also blog using Blogspot and Multiply. It’s so fun and engaging for me, especially creating my layout. I also used Friendster to make the layout for my profile, and I really loved that experience. Now, whenever I remember those memories, I’m still excited and happy. I know my dream is to be a web developer, but I recently figured it out. I was so confused back then about what path to …

Embracing Failures

Today is the last day of June 2024, and I feel like sharing a recent experience just to release and to look forward to in the upcoming months. These past few weeks, I’ve been doing my tasks. As much as possible, I’m trying to give my all to produce quality output. But as a human, I don’t know what will come my way- the so-called unfortunate events. Life is unpredictable and full of surprises. At some point, I knew that I wouldn’t get or achieve everything at once. Some of my plans and goals won’t fall into place as I want them to, but it doesn’t mean I will no longer perceive them. I love receiving feedback for improvements. I’m the type of person who’s open to learning and breakthroughs. I’m not afraid to make mistakes because I believe that failing is an essential step to success. I see failure as a mind opener that I must undergo many times. This experience will wake me up and give me much learning to help me build …

Least Favorite

Have you experienced being left out or the least favourite in a group? I often experience it from time to time. The feeling of being unwanted and unloved and not being the favourite person makes me feel distant and alone. Sometimes, I think that maybe I’m just sensitive and emotional. But why do I have to feel those specific emotions? Why do I have to be in a group who doesn’t like to be with me? Either way, it’s just a feeling and thought that kept running in my head for a couple of days and will stop and then run again, and the cycle repeats. I know it’s really hard to communicate online, especially as an empathetic who observes behaviors; how can I observe in chat? Hard to tell, and the interpretation will depend on how it is read and understood by a reader like me. So, as much as possible, I’m trying to slow down and understand those who thought in different angles. But reading different books or listening to advices from different …
