My little angels

Last saturday I went to my grandma's house for lunch. It was unfortunate that my cousins couldn't come since they were busy with exams and so on. Despite the fact it was quite there, I was really happy to see my grandma and my uncle again. I actually see grandma once every two week I guess. Sometimes even more.

I had nothing to do that day, so I brought my Korean books to try and memorise few new words and such. I felt lazy and very drowsy after eating lunch, so I ended up not studying. Meanwhile, my little cousins were there. They were so noisy trying to catch a small butterfly despite the fact that they are afraid of it haha.

To be honest most people don't like children's noise, but surprisingly to me it was fun. My house is always quiet and calm. I would hardly hear anything other than arguments and fights between my siblings. It was a nice feeling to hear noises this time.

As time passed that day, my little cousins gathered around me and kept wanting to play. I must thank god that one of them had iPad haha. While my cousin was playing with his iPad, they all gathered around me to look at how the game is being played.

The fact that the game is about torturing and killing an animal (I'm not sure what it was), it was inappropriate game to be played by children (even adults in my opinion). It was kind of sad to see them laughing on how to kill it.

One of my cousins kept hitting my thigh that day haha! I can still remember how she was pretending to play drums on my thigh. As she kept playing, her hands became tougher on my skin. She kept on hitting harder and harder to laugh at me screaming at her. I didn't really mind, but I think my thigh went red that day haha!

After spending a lot of time with my cousins, I thought about how I didn't talk to my grandma nor listened to what she has to say. I tried to escape from my cousins, but wow such power and energy that stopped me from leaving my chair. As I sought help from my little guardian, I managed to escape until it turned into "catch me if you can" game.

The fact that I ran that day just to escape from them made me realize how happy I was to be around them. I've been in this boring vacation every since December, so it really hit me. When I was running, I realized that I was laughing and crying out of joy. At that very moment I thought to myself "Wow, It's been actually a really long time since I laughed this hard".

This made me think to myself "Why haven't I been laughing like this the past few months?". My little angels made me realize this about myself. It is sad that I didn't know how happy I can be around them. Hopefully in my next visit to grandma's house, I'd play more with them.

Love you my little angels <3

What is happiness?

Happiness is the feeling of joy to most of us. It is that strong feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment. It is when we feel better about ourselves and our lives. Feeling happy when someone we love and care about is around. Happiness has so many meanings that cannot be found in books nor dictionaries. With philosophers and psychologists.

The meaning of happiness is not all that complicated. It is a feeling we experience, and can also be shared with others around us. Joy has no expiry date nor an end. It can be lower down, but it can never disappear. It would always be there, in that little corner waiting for you to find it.

As many people have said before, love has different shapes and colors, so is happiness. It can develop by the smallest silliest thing you could ever think of, and the biggest surprising thing you could think of.

The little things that makes us happy are the greatest shape of happiness (in my opinion). I feel that if the least thing that can make me happy, then I don't have to worry about what is bigger than that.

For example, my friends and family find it hard to bring me the best gift for my birthday. I think they are thinking too much that they miss out the point behind this gift. For me, as long as it comes from their hearts, nothing really matters to me. Whether it was a simple necklace or a scarf.

I wouldn't be as much as happy if I got a new smartphone or a ridiculously expensive piece of jewellery. Though I wouldn't mind a ticket to travel somewhere (hahaha! Oh my).

All that I'm saying in this blog is that happiness isn't hard to feel. All of us experience and get through crazy and hard times in our lives, but that's okay. 'Cause things will always get better no matter how much time passes.

Let me share with you my secret key to happiness. The one thing I do to flip my mood 180 degrees when I'm super depressed. All that I do is smile really really really hard, and believe that I can be happy this instant. Guess what? It works with me every single time.

Always keep in mind that life is short, and that there is nothing worth to be sad about. At least that's what I'm trying to do.

I hope you all feel happy everyday wherever you are and keep on smiling!

PS: I just sounded like KimmiSmiles from YouTube! haha :-)

Is honesty the best policy?

I remember doing a presentation about "Honesty is the best policy" for math class (I know what you're saying "MATHS? It doesn't make any sense?) Well yes it doesn't make any sense but we had to do it anyways. If my memory serves me right, there were 20 quotes that we had to pick from, and since I appreciate honesty so much, I pick that quote. The thing is that the teacher told us to step out of the box and impress him with a 90 seconds presentation (Yup people 90 seconds presentation).

You can see how tough it is to throw everything out of your mind in 90 seconds. Well at least for me that's very difficult, because I talk A LOT in my mind haha! I hate to be boring and ordinary, so what I did is turn that quote into a question (As you can see in the title).

I actually had to do some research and then present it based on my study, but what I did was ignore the teacher's instructions (don't do that please) and done it my own way instead. I completely relied on my way of thinking and my thoughts about this quotes for the presentation. To make it more clearer to you, it means that I just spoke from my heart directly.

At the day of my presentation I did a horrible mistake, I started off saying "Hello everyone! My name is Ronnie and today in my presentation I am going to do a presentation...." Agh! Everyone laughed at me. I was hilarious, I don't mean to brag about myself but I am memorable haha.

The teacher loved the surprising effect (as he said) about changing the quote into a question. He was totally impressed of my idea (YAY!).

This post was meant to tell you that try to stand out and be creative and if not well no harm done :D

Victoria, Australia

Last Easter I was determined to visit my friends who are studying in Bendigo, VIC. I can only remember how happy I was once I booked the tickets at the travel agency. At the day of my flight, a criss happened to me. I felt completely stupid for not checking in before my flight. Well I can excuse myself somehow, because I've never travelled alone before hehe. Anyways lesson is learned, I won't make that mistake again! I waited for 3 hours in the airport because of my mistake. I was never that bored in my entire life. No wonder dad won't allow me to travel alone (He knows better).

My flight was suppose to fly at 5 pm, but after the delay and changes my flight was moved back to 7:45 pm duo to the horrible weather. The worst part of this flight was that I had to land in Sydney for transit, then go straight to Melbourne. You can only imagine my friends there in the airport waiting for me for hours (I guess they waited 7 hours?). After finally landing in Melbourne, I was reunited with my beloved friends <3

I've arrived around 11 pm? My friends and I were so exhausted that we had to book a hotel in Melbourne. Oh god! I still remember when we were waiting for the hotel shuttle to pick us up from the airport. I was on my way to the hotel until I realized that I forgot my phone on the seat, where I was sitting. My heart was about to stop beating for a second there, but my friends calmed me down and said that there is nothing to worry about.

We went back to the airport and thankfully a woman kept it until someone asked for it. I could never be more thankful and grateful to that woman for what she did. It's hard to find people who are honest (honest in sense where people don't steal things) these days. After a very long day, we've arrived to the hotel and slept the night away~

At 7 am we woke up to catch the bus to bendigo. I remember how we were rushing through the room and running to the shuttle haha. The bus took 2 hours (maybe I don't remember), and I was so sleepy that I barely opened my eyes.

*this post is longer than I expected haha*

To cut long story short, my days with my two beloved friends in bendigo and Melbourne were amazing. I know I didn't spend that much time with them. but I would do anything (I MEAN ANYTHING) to do this trip again <3

F & Z thanks for the good times you've given me. I love you <3

Break a leg, but not mine.

Back in April 2013, my left foot was officially fractured. After my father and sister left me in Australia, I began to feel this pain in my left foot whenever I step on it. At first, I thought it was just a simple muscle cramps that usually happens to any of my other muscles. Two weeks passed, but nothing seems to get better. I used to walk all the way to my university ( approx. 20-40 minutes) and back again to my apartment. I can only imagine how my foot was screaming from the pain.

I used to force myself to walk all this long distances despite the pain that I felt. I decided then that I need to seek medical help, and I thought to myself maybe it's more serious that I thought it would be. The next day I took an appointment, and went to the doctor and explained to her everything that I went through. I've done some normal x-rays, but as expected nothing appeared. Blood test results were perfectly fine, and the final solution was to make a bone scan.

The bone scan actually showed that I have a fracture in my left foot. You can never imagine my surprise that day when the radiologist told me after the test was done. I kept repeating "what?" every single time when he said "you have a fracture". My poor little foot was suffering way too much because of me, and I felt like a complete idiot. The good news was that my fractured bone was already healing itself, which is the main reason why I want to study biology!

I was a fighter back then, I relied solely on myself. They've put a removable medical boot on my foot, and I had to take the bus to college everyday (and for the next few months). I remember my friend's, and my classmate's face expressions when I entered the class with my boot. I would never forget that moment! I loved the attention that I've got. Lets be real everyone loves getting attention for time to time haha. That actually helped me to gain more friends, and to be less shy than before.

An opportunity, yet a destructive one. As my trainer used to say "No pain, no gain". I had pain from my fracture, yet I gained the ability to be less shy around people than before. It's weird how things happen in this world. It makes me giggle. What did I learn from this experience? Self-relience and being strong.

A valuable lesson for a student who is living and studying abroad.

Its too late to apologise.... I hope not!

I am a very horrible person aren't I? Don't you dare agreeing with me. Haha! I can't apologise again for not writing. Man! I would be full of excuses. I must admit that I suck at keeping my blog updated hehe. Well I won't write much about this hidden apology hehehehe.


I won't promise myself to write regularly, because I can honestly say that I suck at keeping my promises (sorry to those who I didn't keep my promises to them). I am going to try to write all about  what happened to me in Australia, while I was studying foundation there.


Hmmm.. that would be from April until November 2013! I have a lot to talk about haha! I can't wait to write everything down, because I met so many awesome friends, went to awesome places, and had awesome times! I love saying "Awesome" a lot, so bare with me hehe. Anyways long story short, I am BACK! well hopefully XD


Looking forward to write my experience ;-)
LOVE xoxo

Viva Canberra!

I haven't wrote a post about Australia so here it comes, I flew all way to Canberra back in March, and it was a really unforgettable boring flight. But once we touched down in Canberra, and took a taxi I was looking at the city, and I was so shocked that I told my sister "Take me home!".

You'd probably think that I saw something very serious but it wasn't, all that stunned me was the fact that Canberra is a very quiet city and very... country-like? I guess. Oh well! It all went okay with me with time ;p My days with dad and sister here were amazing. I loved how we didn't only do my business, but we also went on tour just like how tourists do.

There is so much to say for example, we went to the "National zoo and aquarium" and saw the leopards, penguins, bears, monkeys, tigers, lions, and kangaroos, much more that I can remember! It was really fun I didn't think that I would enjoy it that much <3 Also we went to the "Australian National Botanic Gardens" were I saw many different kind of plants, and flowers. It was breathtaking, and my dad loved it more than I expected haha.

There isn't so many tourist locations, though I would advice you to go to "Lake Burley Griffin". Its absolutely astonishing and beautiful. You can also rent a boat (only in summer I think) and can go around the lake! You will love it trust me. Also there is the "National Libary of Australia"where there is so many books about the history of Australia, and other categories in "dancing", "maps"and "music" .. etc.

In the end all am going to say is that Australia is a beautiful country, and if you want to take a nice quiet vacation in the countryside, then come to Canberra. There are at least 103 places to visit, Don't miss them out ;)
