A LITTLE PIECE OF ME: WEEK 11

Photo: Somewhere on Tumblr

I've been a little MIA lately. Been super absorbed by school and volunteering. I don't even have time for myself. This is super bad because this was one of the few things I told myself that I wouldn't do, but look where I am now. Going against my good morals in life. 

It's finally that time of the year again, the time where winter starts to roll in and gently pushes fall to the side. Something about winter attracts me. Maybe it's the cold weather? The sun hiding behind the clouds? Or maybe even the snow that Seattle rarely brings? But one thing for sure. Christmas. The word alone completely describes it's significance and my overly huge excitement towards it. Everything about Christmas yells "happy." I happen to notice my mood during Christmas is over the happy chart. It soars over and the bar and shoots right through the clouds and into the abyss of space. Obviously I'm over exaggerating, but it somewhat describes my happiness. 

My life has completely changed after I decided to take the path of Running Start. It's hard. Not going to lie. But I think it's the right choice for me. The experience that I get to experience at the college is phenomenal. When you think of college, you think of scary professors and irritated students right? You're completely wrong. Everyone is so welcoming and nice. 

I should really get back to homework now. Just wanted to quickly update my blog that I've been completely MIA on. 

Have a fantabulous day!

A LITTLE PIECE OF ME: WEEK 5

Today marks the first week I've been in Running Start or should I say college. I like it. The atmosphere is exactly what I've imagined college to be. Love how everyone is there to learn and to not fool around. 

With school in session, that means homework. Lots and lots of homework. So I've been super busy lately due to homework, swim, volunteering, and key club. It's a lot of handle all at once but I think I can handle it. Or so I hope I can...

Like every other week, this post will be short because there's nothing really exciting happening in my life currently. 

Have a fantabulous day!

A LITTLE PIECE OF ME: WEEK 4

"I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it." - Jim Carrey

I missed last week's weekly entry... but I'll make it up in this week's entry. 

Lately, I've been addicted to this thing people called coffee. My morning has been depending on it lately. Which is not good at all. 

Recently I've joined the swim team at my school. Whoo hoo! I thought I needed to do something to stay fit until tennis season. 

Our first key club meeting was on Monday last week. I would say it was kind of a success. If you don't know what key club is, let me tell you. Key club is a high school student-led organization that focuses on community service and leadership skills. It's bascially a club that consists of high school students who wants to make a difference to the world! Pretty cool. 

I officially start Running Start on Monday. Let me take a moment to control my feelings because there's no words to describe how scared I am. Whoever is reading this, please pray for me. 

I guess that's all for this week's entry. My life is pretty boring, nothing new so far. 

Have a fantabulous day!

A LITTLE PIECE OF ME: WEEK 2

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters."

It's officially back to school season and it's in full bloom. This week was my first week of school. It was alright I guess. I only went for the first day since I'm doing this program called Running Start. Yay to Running Start. It means I have an extra 3 weeks of summer.

Finally went back to painting and it feels so good. No wonder I loved it in the first place. It's so calming and peaceful. 

I don't have much else to say about this week. 

Remember to smile! Because it looks the best on your beautiful face. 

Have a fantabulous day!

HOW TO FEEL BETTER

Photo: Here

"Take time to do what makes your soul happy."

Realistically, we all live busy lives. This stops us from pressing the pause button and doing what we love. Which is to enjoy ourselves once in a while. Even with our jam packed schedules, try to make time to relax. Your soul, mind, and body will thank you for it. 

We all have those times when we're feeling down. All we want to do is to crawl in our beds and to sleep the feeling away. Doing this will only make it worse. Here are some ways to make yourself feel better. Well, what I do to make myself feel better.

Burst Out Singing Your Favorite Song:
Play your favorite song and just sing along. You don't have to be a great singer to do this. I'm a horrible singer and I still do this. Why? Because it makes you feel better. It's almost as if you're singing away the horrible feelings that you've been harboring inside that little heart of yours. 

One Word: DANCE:
Just like singing, pick a song and just dance to it. When I do this, I look like a goofball but who cares! 

Eat Ice Cream:
Have you heard that saying "Eat ice cream when you're feeling down."? This is surprisingly true. When you're feeling down, it's when your heart is broken into little pieces. By eating ice cream, the sugars are mending those little pieces back together into one big happy heart again. 

Go For a Run:

By running, you're releasing all of the negative energy. Which makes you better. You may feel tired, sweaty, and exhausted after, but way better than you were before.

If you Can Drive, Go For a Late Night Drive:

This is one of my favorite things to do when I'm feeling down. I love driving to the beach and just sitting there admiring the beautiful skyline of my city. The quiet drive itself is peaceful.

Talk It Out to Someone:

You shouldn't just keep it all to yourself, it's not healthy. So instead, talk to someone about it. It'll make you feel better.

In the end, we might not feel 100% better, but it's better than before. Don't stress yourself out too much. Take time from your busy schedule and relax and have fun because we only live once and it's not worth not having fun in this once in a life time life. 

A LITTLE PIECE OF ME: WEEK 1

"I like the word 'indolence'. It makes my laziness classy." - Bernard Williams

This is the last full week before school starts for me. Truthfully, I'm glad that school is starting soon. It gives me something to do rather than staying at home doing absolutely nothing. But I know once school starts, I'm going to dread it. It's a bittersweet feeling. 

Since this was the last full week before school starts, that meant rushing to the stores pushing our way through hundreds of shoppers who's also doing some last minute back to school shopping. I have one word for it: hetic. There were people everywhere and supplies were all over the place. This made it extremely hard to find all of the stuff that I needed for this upcoming school year. 

Like every Tuesday, I volunteered at the hospital. It was fun as usual. Everyone was nice. It's one of the many amazing things I get to experience. Always grab every opportunity that you can! You'll thank yourself later on in life. 

Nothing much happened for the rest of the week. The rest of the week consisted of me trying to finish my summer assignments that I forgot to do... was totally a bad idea to "forget" about them.

For anyone who reads this post. Comment "Pancake" ^_^

Have a fantabulous day!

PROCRASTINATION

Photo: Somewhere from Google

"You may delay, but time will not" -Benjamin Franklin

We've all been there. We're all victims of procrastination. For those of you who don't know what procrastination is, procrastination is when you have something you're suppose to do, but you don't do. You make excuses and you put it off for later. 

For example: You're suppose to be revising an essay but you end up watching your favorite T.V. show. 

If you're saying "I'm not a procrastinator" then you're lying to yourself. Procrastinating comes in many forms. Sometimes procrastinating is good. SOMETIMES. Here are the pros and cons of procrastination.

PROS:

• Procrastination is a way of protecting you. Sounds odd right? But it's true. Sometimes procrastination can help you avoid getting into problems like doing something you're not ready for. 
• It gives you time to think and reevaluate about something. 
• It bubbles inspiration and new ideas.
• Since procrastination takes time, this will allow an idea that you weren't very fond of to grow on you. 
• It recharges you mentally and physically.

CONS:

• Can cause even more stress because while you're procrastinating, the work load is slowly growing.
• You will most likely end up doing an all-nighter as a consequence. All-nighters equals major dark circles and dark circles do not look cute. 
• You have to quickly do everything. This is especially bad when you're rushing to do an essay because it'll unfortunately take a toll on your grade. 
• It's unprofessional.

Here are ways that you can avoid procrastination:

• Make a list of what you need to do.
• Distance yourself from distractions (T.V., computer, cell phones)
• Create a schedule
• Tell yourself "You need to finish this or you can't do this." 
• After you finish, treat yourself out to something
• Do stuff little by little so it's not overwhelming. People tend to procrastinate because the work load is overwhelming. By doing stuff little by little, this will make it bearable.

It is a good thing to procrastinate sometimes, but do it sparingly. Look at the situation and rate the importance of it from a 1-10. If it's under a 5 then it's possible that you can procrastinate. Don't lie to yourself by rating the situation lower than it actually is. 

But when procrastination does hit you, accept it. Don't try to push it away because it's a part of life. I'm one of those people who believes that everything happens for a reason and procrastination ( the ones that happens naturally) happens because it's trying to tell you something. 

HOW TO BE POSITIVE

 Photo: We Heart It

"You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will."

This is one of my most favorite quotes of all time. Why? Because it's true. Becoming a positive person isn't something that just happens overnight. You need to want it in order for it to happen. It's something that develops over a period of time.  

I'm someone who always tries to see the positive in everything. Of course it's not easy but I still try. Have you guys seen the Nigahiga's How to Stay Positive Video? If you haven't, you can watch it here. But this is exactly how I am. My brain works like this in every negative situations. Why you ask? By doing this, it helps me get back to my feet and makes the situation more bearable. 

We live in an imperfect world and we're bound to encounter negativity and this sadly, gets in the way. Negativity and Positivity are always constantly fighting to be the Alpha. Any Teen Wolf fans out there? If you do, you know how hard it is to become the Alpha. 

I believe there is always something positive in every situtation—good or bad— you just have to find it. 

Step 1: You Need to Want It
I can't stress this enough. In order to become a more positive person, you need to truly want it. This is honestly the most hardest step to take. People often think that you are either born into a negative or positive person. I also thought this. Let me tell you a secret, being negative or positive is a choice. Reread that last line again. Process it into your mind. Imprint it into your mind.

So yes, you can choose to become a positive person. 

Put your feet down and say "I'm going to become a more positive person." Don't just say it blunty, say it with determination.

Step 2: Make Every Situation a Positive One
There is always something positive in every situation, you just need to sit down and think. Even if it's the tiniest thing it still counts. 

You can start a "Positive Notebook" where every night before you go to bed you write down three positive things for that day. Not only does it make you see the positive in that day, it'll help trains your brain to becoming a more positive one. So the Positivity is slowly becoming the Alpha. 

This is how my mind works. Earlier this week I got turned down from a job that I applied to. Normally, people would sulk about it. But for me, I thought "They didn't want to hire me because I was too good for them anyway." That was a very self-centered statement, but it helps you make the best out of a not so good situation. Don't say it out loud because it'll make you look bad. 

Step 3: Distance Yourself Away From Negativity
This is easier said than done. Your heart is like a sponge, it soaks up every mood and emotions around you. 

Before I made the choice of wanting a more positive lifestyle, I was hanging out with all of these people who were constantly negative about everything. This impacted the way I thought about things. Instead of seeing the positive in everything, all I saw were the negatives. I was miserable until a friend came up to me and taught me how to be happy about my life. The first step she told me was to get rid of all the negative people in my life.

This was emotionally hard for me to do. But I did it. You don't have to completely cut them off, you just need to distance yourself away from them. 

Also, get rid of all the negative feelings inside of you so you can start new. A great way to do so is to go for a run, do some yogas, or even meditate. I like to go for a run every day so I can get rid of any excess negative feelings that my heart soaked up for that day. 

Step 4: Have a Positive Harbor 
You guys are probably wondering about the picture of the donut and how it has to do with this post. 

There are times when you absolutely can't find the positives in a negative situation or just simply finding it didn't really help. This is when your positive harbor comes into play. It helps brighten your mood. For me, it's donuts. I like to go out and buy them or if I can't, I'll go look at pictures.

Your positive harbor can be a picture, a person, a song, your favorite food, or even exercise. It can be anything, as long as it brightens your mood and helps you forget. BUT NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. 

Step 5: Treat Yourself
Not only does this make yourself happy, but it also makes your mind happy. It's like a "Thank You" present for your mind. It's telling your mind that it's doing a good job.

Buy yourself something, go on a vacation, or even go out to your favorite place to eat. 

Don't forget to say "Good Job" to yourself. Don't forget to compliment yourself.

Don't be greedy and share your positivity with others. You don't have to go all out, you can just simply compliment others. For me, a compliment from someone instantly makes my day 10x better.

Meanwhile, Sang-hyo has caught the eye of her boss Jo Sung-gyeom, a strict but thoughtful hotel managing director who has all the female employees swooning. But there's also ambitious public relations manager Yeo Eun-joo, who competes with Sang-hyo for both a promotion and Sung-gyeom's heart.

To make matters even more complicated, a murder turns the hotel topsy-turvy. Sung-gyeom may be connected to the case, while Eun-joo attempts to use the circumstances surrounding the murder to get a leg up on the corporate ladder. As Sang-hyo and Hae-young juggle their sudden reunion under awkward circumstances, the exes also get sucked into the murder investigation.
