It’s Almost Spring
The past three days have been too sunny, with the highest temperature floating around 15-16 Celsius, way above the usual average of 10. It hasn’t been raining either in the past days, so I’m not sure what will happen to the grass seeds I sowed. Let’s hope they will germinate. While I like sunshine, I…

Oh, Well…
If I had disliked kids, I wouldn’t have applied for a job that needed to work with kids every day. The fact is I don’t hate kids, though I do not feel an intimate draw from them as much as many other people do. I can interact with them well enough, especially if I’m their…

Manipulators
So far, my December has been a little bit too out of control. First, I had almost started a small business with a habitual sex assaulter. Now, meaning in the past week, I was again gaslighted by a seemingly outstanding student. I’m not going to lie to you: being intentionally manipulated and gaslighted twice during…

Headstand

My Life Stays as Usual
Apple’s weather app says today’s “partly cloudy.” It also says that for the entire following week, the highest daily temperature will consistently reach 30C. And it’s depressing to learn that things will only get worse year after year from now on, if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels right away.

Ube Ice Cream
The reason that I can’t read Raymond Carver’s stories continually is that I don’t know when I’ll be it by the horror in his stories. If I’m not hit by one story, then fine, I can keep going on to the next one; if I’m hit, however, I’ll need some time for a break, a…

It’s Getting Warmer and Warmer
It’s getting warmer and warmer these days.
