04.06.2022 // I was so tired after work today. I should never let myself scroll through my phone in bed when I wake up it ruins my whole day. I’ve missed making physical notes. Doing revision, I don’t even remember learning this stuff in the first place. Daily prompt: I dabble in so many fandoms (usually tv shows sometimes Kdramas) but mainly i’m a fan of BBC Merlin, Halsey, 5 Seconds of Summer, Blackpink, BTS. So if we share interests hmu <3
🎧: A Song for You (Once Beaten Black and Blue) - Tourism 🌊
Forgot to post yesterday so I will be posting for 2nd Feb right now. I didn't really study all that much yesterday, just a little bit of condensed matter for class, and then I went back to my room and binged watched a kdrama. I did sleep at 3am and my eyes are drooping close but at least I had fun.
Day 4/30 of 30-Day New Year Momentum Challenge
What book are you reading right now?
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie! At least I'm about to start it, but this is for an assigned reading. For leisure, I last read the translated web novel Qing Kuang, an mlm high school slice of life novel and it was fun!
a bunch of videos that don't actually count because they weren't teaching videos
Total Time: ~15 minutes
Reflection:
The only thing I actually did today was my Duolingo, but I did watch (probably several hours' worth) of videos on more "meta" kinds of topics like resources and some videos analyzing native speakers. I didn't time track any of this though because it doesn't count towards actively learning anything. It's more for fun or passive learning like watching a Kdrama. They were super interesting though! I won't openly admit how many of them involved BTS, but it was more than a few lol (I actually got into Kpop after I decided to start learning Korean interestingly enough my original motivation was martial arts-related).
Jongdae’s voice is clear & warm as it always is, and I adore the deeper voice he uses on the chorus. And even though this is (accidentally) the first k-OST I was exposed to, I still feel like this one in particular is the best for showcasing his skill and range.
Put God first...
"And you must love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength"
-Mark 12:30
I've always manifest my dreams and faith by putting God first in every area of my life.
I can't help but say probably a million times "Thank You Lord for everything. Thank You for putting so much color in my life. Thank You for rainbow days and also for the dark moments. Thank You for the ups and downs of my life."
Finally, I got a time to blog about my favorite country, my so-called heaven on earth and it's no other than Switzerland.
Mt. Titlis Engelberg, Switzerland
C'mon just riding the cable car to reach the famous Mt. Titlis is definitely one of the books!!!
I look back and I can't help but to thank and be grateful that the Lord gave me trials and courage to surpass the challenges in my life. My original plan and target age to visit Europe was on my age of 25 . I never imagined that there will be a reroute in my plan because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It might be two years late from the original plan that I have listed in my personal notebook but I can't help but still be grateful that I experience Europe on my age of 27.
Switzerland is my favorite place not only in Europe but in the whole world. I just feel that I am safe and secured during my visit there. Frankly speaking, I hope to be back in this beautiful country in God's time. Switzerland is like a heaven on earth.
If you are a fan of the famous Korean drama, Crash Landing On You, I am sure that you will have fun here in Giessbach, Switzerland.
Just having the best time of my life here in Iseltwald, Switzerland.
Visiting Sigriswil Panoramic Bridge also made my heart flutter because of the inner Kdrama fan inside me.
I have to admit that there comes a time in my life when most of the times, I forgot about the Lord. I tend to make mistakes and wrong choices in life. I am not perfect. Sometimes, I only remember God when I ask for something. I tend to forget to even pray in the morning.
Traveling internationally that leads to self-discovery really helped me a lot. I realized that when I put God in the first place of my life, I could just see how wonderfully I am made by our Creator just like how wonderful our Creator did the amazing Swiss Alps. I can't help but admire the Lord.
Let me also share my Swiss hotel experience. I have observed that hotel rooms in Switzerland are small in space if I will compare to the other hotels that I've stayed during my European vacation last year. It's just a matter of the size of the hotel room but still, nothing could ever compare to the amazing beauty of Switzerland.
Here's the two hotel:
Hotel Astoria Lucerne
Hotel Chalet Swiss, a traditional Swiss hotel
----- Meanwhile, I tried my luck in one of the casinos around Interlaken, Switzerland but unfortunately, I didn't won.
Balik taya lang sa Switzerland, I cashout 13 Swiss FR only. I could still remember I also gambled when I was in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and I won almost 100 USD.
Luck is not on my side when I was in Europe I guess. I will not gamble again. I believe that if you want to play anywhere, you need to have a limit. Don't put all your money in a casino game. Yes, it might be addicting but don't gamble too much.
At least sa casino naglilimit ako. Kapag sumugal ako sa pag-ibig minsan napapasobra ako ng taya e kaya ang ending ang tagal ko magmove-on. Haha... (hugot yarn???!!!)
Switzerland is one of the reasons why my healing journey become much lighter and more manageable.
God is using so many instruments to help me in my emotional and spiritual healing. I believe that when we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place. I know that my experience in Switzerland is a part of God's greater plan for my life.
(Location: Bern, Switzerland)
I still don't know where God's plan will take me but with full confidence and trust, I am not having a heavy heart inside me anymore. I know that our Creator will create a wondrous life for me in the future. Just like how He made Switzerland a heaven and paradise here on earth, I will also have a serene story just like the Switzerland.
Thank You Lord for creating such a beautiful country called Switzerland.
Ji Hoo was SOOOO much better, let’s just be honest. He was sweet and kind to her nearly from the get go...after he let go of his first love. He was always there to rescue her and give her a shoulder to cry and lean on even after he knew he had no hope of her loving him back. He still remained by her side until the end. I just can’t see why she would choose Jun Pyo over Ji Hoo.
But eh whatever....he’s still one of my favorite 2nd leads of all time.
At least I was productive today anyway! Finished my math hw, started my essay rough draft, did laundry, am studying Korean rn, and after I'll watch 사이코메트리 그녀석 💕 before I have to go to bed since I work tomorrow and ALL weekend 😭
Thoughts on He is Psychometric? I'm loving it tbh ^^
