Self-care Sunday ~ Teach yourself
You spend your first chunk of life in school, being forced to learn things that bore you and often seem purposeless. School is less about learning and more about conditioning you to detest learning. Multiple choice tests encourage shallow thinking. It counteracts second-guessing, reassessment, and reevaluation -- all the things that open your mind to… Continue reading Self-care Sunday ~ Teach yourself
Caturday ~ Cats just wanna have fun
Part of your pet's health includes entertainment through physical activity and mental stimulation. Boredom leads to depression, disruptive behavior, and a slower metabolism. Just as important as it is to make sure your cat has food and water, it's also necessary to make sure your cat has play. Cats are very intelligent creatures, which means… Continue reading Caturday ~ Cats just wanna have fun
A Day in the Town
My parents came to visit and we had a fun day doing brunch, walking through the center of town, browsing the shops, stopping for drinks at Starbucks, and visiting the art museum. It was a day full of pleasant surprises. We stopped at the book store and were given raffle tickets, promoting the release of… Continue reading A Day in the Town
RIP to My Old Layout
I've changed the theme/layout of my blog. Say goodbye to the old style... it was nice while it lasted! It now features six posts at the top of the homepage. I chose the more recent and most popular (by most likes or views) ones. The mobile version is slightly different but still super functional. I'm… Continue reading RIP to My Old Layout

it was all a dream
I must have been dreaming... can't really trust my head... I must have been fast asleep... but I wasn't laying in bed... I was floating on a cloud... that you blew my way... so hard I dropped to the ground... and here I hopelessly lay...
DON’T forgive me
Don't forgive me, even when I say "I'm sorry." Why don't you put me in time-out? Why don't you scream and shout? Why don't you curse and swear? I know, cause you're too tired to care. Don't forgive me, especially when I say "I'm not sorry." Where is my punishment? Why let me get away… Continue reading DON’T forgive me
Dollar store haul ~ HALLOWEEN decor
One of the best parts about Halloween season is the spooky atmosphere! As a little girl, I would always insist on getting new decorations every year because we had to have the coolest and scariest house on the block -- it was a must! I recently took a trip to the dollar store: on the… Continue reading Dollar store haul ~ HALLOWEEN decor
Autumn Playlist (SIDE B)
The Autumn Playlist continues with SIDE B. Two years ago I put together a playlist to perfectly describe the season of autumn/fall. It starts with saying goodbye to summer and accepting that autumn is here to bring many changes; after a serotonin-filled summer of warmth and relaxation, the weather is now about to get cooler… Continue reading Autumn Playlist (SIDE B)
