Happy Birthday, K!
Sometimes, people do something big for someone without knowing it. For the past few weeks, my friends have been telling me that I’m glowing. This afternoon, I stood in front of the mirror for half an hour, tried to see in which part I was glowing, but I couldn’t see it. I just saw my…

This is one of many bad days in my life, when I wish nothing but to wrap myself in my blanket and sleep. My programming exam was a mess. I couldn’t do half of the problems, and when I finally knew what to do, the time was up. Another thing, people think my best effort…

Hello, October!
I’ve always loved October. I don’t even know why, but every time October comes, I feel warm. In its own way, October has always brought merry to me. Maybe it’s because my birthday is in October, which only means one thing: lots of presents! Another reason, maybe it’s because it has Halloween in the end…

Be Careful Of What You Dream Of
Sometimes, you have no idea how delirious a dream could be. I’d had a dream about something since the very first day I knew it. I’d been living on that dream for more than two years, worked harder than anyone I knew, until one day I finally got it. I’m still living that dream now.…

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
SPOILER ALERT! I know I’m 4 years late to write this. Most of you would probably yell, “Where in the world have you been?” But anyway, here I am, writing something I thought I wouldn’t write. I had my own reason when I swore to myself not to read this last book of Harry Potter…
