I celebrated my mother’s 64th birthday on April 10 this year. Looking at her that night during family dinner, my mind was transported back to the past when I was a kid and a teenager: Before ...


A lot has been going on in two years of living alone. The first one was quite an adjustment; the second a struggle. Why? I’m not complaining and I have no regrets. I’m not turning back either, be...


Who is ‘Dana Seavers’? For those who haven’t got a chance to watch the episode three from the season eleven of “Criminal Minds”, this entry is a spoiler. You may stop reading from here if you wis...

"NO EXPECTATIONS?"

Expect the unexpected. That usually helps you to reduce disappointment. This is the world where anything goes. A lot of unhappy expressions can be heard in these statements: *”I’ve done everythin...


All your life, you are constantly going through what you want and what you really need. There are times when you just cannot tell the difference, getting them all mixed up. ‘Youth’ and ‘the need ...


Falling in love - and especially love itself - has always been a mystery. It is not always easy to guess the ‘how’ and figure out the ‘why’ - just as much as wondering how long it will last. Ther...

Alright, first of all - I’m not sure just how often I’m going to write/post in here. I love writing so much that I’m addicted to it already, but I’m also very, very busy. I’m already working three jobs - teaching English, translating, and writing. Other than that, I’m also an aspiring singer, a book club enthusiast, and just living up my life the best way I only know how.

I won’t be just writing about me now, but…well, we’ll see.
