Live, Love, Laugh

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 EVERYONE! I hope 2022 will be brighter than the past 2 years. I do have hope after what we’ve been through. It wasn’t easy, but we managed to stay alive. This year I don’t want only “to stay alive”, I want to fill my days learning, experiencing, and exploring new things. Today I read #88LOVELIFE vol. 3 and I want to quote 1 page as a reminder for myself to put fixing-broken-relationships as number 1 priority this year. #49 When we talk about chasing our dreams or travelling the world, we tell ourselves to start now, start young, start early. “Better late than never” is the mindset we carry in exploring the best life has to offer because “you only live once.” But we forget something bigger applies just the same when it comes to time; to apologize and make amends with the people we have hurt. Many times we delay the simple act of saying “sorry” and making effort to fix relationships because we think there will always be another time. And yet, the longer we do, chance

I had my birthday a few days ago. On that day, I wasn’t sure of how I was supposed to feel. Because on the same day, I got two sad news. One from my colleague, another one from my high school friend. They both just lost one of their parents. Throughout the day, I got plenty of birthday wishes and even a little surprise from my colleague who came to office, though they’re supposed to be working from home.

Later that night, as I was sitting on the edge of my bed, I checked my Instagram and saw stories of my friend’s little sister, whose dad just passed away. One of the stories showed a road ahead as they’re going to the funeral and they sang a church song in the background. I can’t remember the song title, but

I want to share my recent watch. Disclaimer first, I'm not reviewing from a professional perspective, but from audience point of view. If you're agree with me, then welcome to the club. If not, it's ok, as long as we can share what's on our mind freely and not hurting others. :) So, I've been watching a new Netflix series, title 'Emily in Paris'. It's typical rom-com/sit-com. Not that it's super funny, but it's a fresh series which portrays life of an American in Paris. I think we've seen enough young adult, reaching their quarter life, having the best times of their lives, feeling on top of the world, that they can achieve anything, but located in New York. This one is slightly different, it's located in Paris, a city renowned as 'city of love'. But still relatable because it's filmed based on American perspective, which is Emily, played by Lily Collins. I think it's genius. I've watched the first 2 episodes and I'
