What’s your favorite thing about yourself? My eyes, big round dark brown eyes, hardly succeed in hiding any emotion of mine.

Retirement
How do you want to retire? I want to retire wealthy and healthy. I don't care how far I am currently from that worthy goal but am seriously preparing for that. Karin Sabrina
Declutter
I'm a sceptic at first... But now I'm converted; decluttering our home is actually able to make us a better person. It's true! No, I'm not selling you Ms. Kondo books but I now understand her message clearly. For the last two weeks, I've been decluttering clothes and all unused items at home.

Let's say … Continue reading Comparison
Storm
Calm before the storm, I used to think this way whenever my life seems "flat" or happy or in a "usual" state. By thinking like this I didn't fully appreciate every moment, I didn't appreciate the regular days because I worried that a storm was peeking, ready to surprise me at any time. Whenever I'm … Continue reading Storm
