where is this sun you speak of?

"For you, a thousand times over" It's from a second-hand bookstore-slash-library where I got this book. I knew this book is well-known based from the author's name and even though I did not know much about it, knowing that a lot of people liked it, I quickly grabbed it out of the box lying near the bookstore's swinging door! It took a while for me to read the book as I was in a reading slump (ah, the dreaded reading slump~) but I finally managed to read the book and I love and hate it. There is so much to feel about the book. It was a wonderful journey all throughout in a sense that the story is written in such a way that the reader is able to understand the characters and are actually get attached to them from beginning to the end. There were love, loss, and betrayal for the most parts of the story and I think that's what makes it an incredible book as it brought me to so many different experiences... and also, what an eye-opener. This is the first...

A store in Lille, France 2019 Haaaaaaaaaaaaa- feelings. I've had a roller coaster ride these past weeks and for an introvert, it's kind of overwhelming. I think I am at the point of my journey where I find myself at the end of the road that splits into two directions. Do I need to choose between the two or take a U-turn? This is the question that keeps going on and on and on... it never ends! As I am randomly browsing on the internet, I come across a page showing a full text of a "number 1 bestseller" book about life rules in a chaotic world. It's interesting that I might just have to add it to my to-read list. Anyway, one of the points there is this: Pursue what is meaningful . And I think it also correlates with another point highlighted in the book which is: Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. In this day and age, we often see a grandiose facade of everyone's lives and as much as we are happy to see that ev...

So I had the chance to cook pesto chicken and veggies in the weekend and I wanted to share this recipe to the internet because (1) it's yummy, (2) perfect for preparing lunch at work for the whole week, (3) and for future purposes! So here it goes! Ingredients: Asparagus Basil pesto Celery Cherry tomatoes Chicken breast Mushrooms Olive oil Procedure: Heat a large skillet on medium heat Add olive oil, chicken breast, and cherry tomatoes. Cook on for 5 to 10 minutes. Once chicken breast and cherry tomatoes are cooked, set them aside. In the same skillet, cook the mushrooms for 5 to 10 minutes.  Add in asparagus and celery until cooked through. Add the chicken breast and cherry tomatoes back into the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of basil pesto. This varies if you are cooking a large amount of ingredients. So you can season upon your liking. You can add pepper and basil leaves if you want as well.

 Dear FutureMe, You can't please everyone. Right now, it feels like everyone is talking behind your back and you constantly ask yourself "Why the hell would people take so much time spending negativity all around me?" Me? I am nobody. No one is supposed to waste time because of me. And then you realize that some people have boring lives that all they can find joy in is condescendingly talk about other people just to make themselves a little bit "higher". I get this. You are not supposed to please everyone to like you because you can not please everyone. These individuals do not just hate you. They hate everyone else. Which means they hate even those whom they talk with about the people they hate. So, even though you meet them almost every day (and who knows until when - probably when you decide to leave), even though they make you feel different, even though they cut you when you are talking which is making you feel like you are talking nonsense, even though you...
