Royal Botanical Garden (1)

The cherry blossom season, though enchanting, is transient, for these delicate flowers are exceptionally responsive to climatic conditions. Striking a delicate balance, they yearn for temperatures that are neither excessively cold nor overly warm, and rainfall that is moderate. Irony befell this spring season, as it embraced all facets of weather. Since my relocation to…

NEO: The World Ends with You [Demo]

The World Ends With You (TWEWY) has a special meaning in my life. A couple of years ago, when assigned to revive a dying team, I used the game title as a motto to boost up the team’s spirit. Though the way I interpreted its meaning was not directly associated with the game’s concept, it…

A Walk in Hamilton Downtown

I am a fan of wandering. I love the exciting moments when discovering some buried gems of the city. There could be a lovely cafe hidden inside an old building or a romantic bakery shop by the end of an unnoticed alley. That is why if I must go out with destinations, the idea is…

A Serene Afternoon along Brandford Rail Trail

I took Brandford Rail Trail (Hamilton, ON, Canada) almost every time I need to make a shopping trip to the nearest dollar store since last winter. As wither trees and crisp trunks of the scenery had become a familiar image, so when the lush scenery invaded my vision, I felt like being transported in a…

A guide to stay focus on reading for who keeps distracting!

I finished 3 books in 18 days by applying these tricks! The scenario would be: pick up my book —> after 3 minutes —> pick up my phone —> surf the web or watch videos for hours —> too late to resume my reading session. Does it sound familiar to you? If the phone is…

How do I find e-book deals on Amazon?

As a passionate reader, I devour books like a hungry bookworm. However, zealously buying physical copies usually left me short of money before I moved to Canada (original English versions price high in Asia). Unfortunately, due to the current nomad lifestyle, e-books are way more practical and convenient than the beloved physical copies. Wish I…

I’m walking in a bipolar dream

Do you know the Tarot card? If you know it and know me, you might compare me as the Five of Cups and the Eight of Wands card, those they belong to two different suits, they both depict a figure who looks but doesn’t see the way out emotionally or mentally. Sometimes I was back…

Meditation in daily life

Have you ever sat in a sunlit kitchen, indulge yourself with a cup of tea and feel the whole world become clearer? In this hasty material world, we are all restlessly chasing after power, fame, and wealthiness. Without question, we define those extrinsic values as measures of being successful. We generously dedicate all of our…

Learning English by playing video games. How?

Whenever I saw somebody believed that RM from BTS (RM is the leader of the global phenomenon Korean boy group called BTS) learned English by only watching TV Show Friends, I don’t think so. I believe he must go through a long process which too long to tell, just like me when I told people…

How I cope with nonsense stress

Constantly creating stupid pressure, I usually put myself into stupid minor depression. This is how I cope with it and be free. Since I’m living alone in a country 7,200 miles apart from my homeland, my mom is always worried about my health both physically and psychologically, especially the later. Years ago, her friend’s son…
