A Little Spark of Joy at 12 AM

Image
                    In the month of May this year, I was given the job of my professor to be her layout artist for her upcoming language activity book. I am not very knowledgeable with designing and organizing books or texts but I took the job anyway. My professor exploded in joy after I agreed to her offer and the enthusiastic giggle and gratitude I heard from her during the phone call still sticks in my heart up to now. I am not getting paid much but I am already fulfilled in helping her finish this book. It is what keeps me busy and distracted from my chaotic mind in this time of pandemic.           Tonight at 12 AM, I am currently editing Lesson 4 and to my surprise, my professor had used my name as an example to one of her activities.

A letter to the 14-year-old me

Image
Dearest Kate, Hello! It is me, the same person but is already 20 years old and I have just read the letter you wrote for me. Just about time, eh? Anyway, I hope this letter finds you well just in case the present (this current reality of mine) would make its way to the past. To be perfectly honest, it's such an amazing coincidence that you wrote me this letter when I needed it the most. You are so sweet and I wish my heart is still as pure enough to absorb it. But you are right. I have changed. I have grown matured as I now have experienced seeing the world in another perspective - through the eyes of a person who has done enough and have gone through enough in her 20 years of existence. I am aware that I am not yet as mature as the world expects me to be. Some habits have retained while some part of me had improved. I am still an introvert, quiet, and reserved - with privacy issues and excessive concern for her digital footprint.  As you see, I came back to actual...

The Thoughts of a Ten-Year-Old

Growing up has made me sense the beauty of the rain. I loved wearing warm and comfortable sweaters whenever I go to school and frolic on the muddy grasses of our school playground which helped me develop a wonderful childhood. The thing I liked about our classroom were the Scholastic books neatly arranged in the bookshelves. When the rain pours down and we can't attend the flag ceremony, we wait for our teacher to come in the classroom by reading wonderful books. This is really nostalgic. And the illustrations I see upon these books widens my imagination into creating various worlds. When the Wind Blows by Jana Christy My imaginative mind illustrates a humid city that somewhat takes place in the cities of the United States. Let's picture out New York. Cold, damp streets and oh so windy breeze. If you can't feel the wonderful coldness, turn on the electric fan and read this again. Just kidding hahaha. I also love spending rainy days at home and watch cartoons or wat...

Goals in life?

Image
Normally, all dreamers really want to see and travel the whole wide world and that's me. There might be some confusions you might find in me because I'm more of an indoor person. I don't like walking outdoors that much- not even in summers. I really feel awkward when I walk with too many people around me. I'm really not confident about being me. It's like when I go outside and people look at me, I'd always think that I am being judged but I know I'm not and they don't really care but I'm still bothered about this. Nah... enough with this. First of all, I don't really care of visiting all the famous places here in the whole world; like Paris, London, New York, Rio, Sydney and many other. I like to live in Europe or Australia someday because I like the climate there and it's full of beautiful mountains and grassy terrains. (I don't own any of these photos) I love to live in some places like these-it's like waking up in the mo...

First Post in this Blog ever

Hello there Earthling! Thanks for visiting my blog and as you know, I am Kate. Are you wondering about my blog title? Well that's because I'm an introvert person who loves listening to classical musics. Okay, so what should be my first post all about? How about... All about me! (I know I used the "about" word too much) First of all, I'm a nature lover ; not just nature lover but nature friendly! :) I mostly love looking at the sky no matter if it's dark, weeping, roaring... but I'd like it more if it's blue. I love looking into infinity like going out at night just to gaze these stars and the moon that shines. Really? You love staring at the night sky too? Wow high-five for that! You're awesome ;) I love travelling to many, many places and discover something in it. I have a dream to travel the whole world someday and when people ask you where you have been, you'll be like:  "I have been on a gratifying journey. Through the mou...
