notes from another coffee shop and a rainy day in nyc ☕️🌧️

[collegechicc-blog]

Hey, I think the first time I re-opened my blog was three years ago when I freshly enrolled back to Uni. Now, I am almost 6 months away from getting my degree! Yay, I am currently rendering my hours of internship. It's my first time to work in one of the offices of the government and it's like going back to the basics! It makes me feel like I am 17 again and just learning things from the expert folks.

It's quite interesting that I took my internship at the age of 28 and it dearly humbled me but I always know I still have to go to the office with my alert mind so that others will not mistreat me or see me as somebody they can bully. So far, no one's trying to do that to me and I truly hope there's none to avoid any troubles.

There are things I want to control but I am always reminded by myself that I only have limited time of the day so I gotta use it for my own betterment rather than always check whether other people are feeling comfortable with me.

I have also redefined the way I see friendships in school. I recognize other people's tendency to spread rumors about me but I am not in the position to act like a cyber life police around those people all the time as I have my own personal and academic life to deal with.

Just like the photo above, all I gotta do is try, try, and try until I get to where I want to be. I am specifically eyeing to purchase a digital camera to be used for special occasions and another bluetooth earphones so I don't have to bring my big headphones outside. Off topic, it felt like I have cracked the code when I changed my attitude towards my terror professor. I started to see him in a more pleasant and promising way, like, someone who is always prepared to impart us his superior knowledge. Lo and behold, he acted the same way and minimized the harshness in the class. I guess being positive works wonders most of the time. I can't wait to apply for a teaching field this year and to embark on my next journey but for now, I enjoy each and every part of my life :)

Chronic stress doesn’t just wear you out—it actually changes your body at the cellular level. When you’re constantly stressed, your brain pumps out stress hormones like cortisol. Over time, this can flip genetic switches, activating genes tied to illnesses like diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorders & chronic inflammation. Stress also messes with your immune system, slows down your body’s ability to heal, and creates the ideal setup for sickness. Healing starts when you make peace a priority, calm your nervous system & surround yourself with environments that support your health instead of harming it. Remember that it’s your life, you don’t have to keep people around who hurt you!

The highest form of vibrational frequency is authenticity. Most people are not themselves. They are shells of their ambitions, of other people, of their desires..

Once you live in your truth, you elevate to that contagion frequency where you realize who you actually are and you don’t condition yourself by your past or illusions of the future. And you can become that by reframing your mindset right away because your mind is a very powerful tool.

Time flies so fast when you're doing a lot! I just entered my senior year last month and now I'm in the middle of working on two (2) research papers and some piles of legal cases in order to pass the Midterms. I have changed a lot since the last time I wrote down here. I ain't doing well financially compare to how I used to on the last two years but I was able to value certain things over material stuff now (which is really great for me). I also do not see the physical flaws of my block mates too nor do I care to measure them up in any aspect. I just care about passing, learning, and hoping for the best.

I used to think that I must do things step by step in order for me to finish my goals well but now that situations are getting tougher, I have learned to bring back taking inspiration from other people online who have already gotten the dream that I want to have. I'm planning to work for a year to save some funds before I can travel to Chiang Mai to get the English training I need and eventually get a job there.

Further, I have been hearing lots of generic advices from professors, telling us which way to take. I would always tell myself the same thing that I believe in for too long -- the only person who knows what I really want is ME. Nobody else. I really do not feel taking up law school at all and that's perfectly fine. My plans for myself are valid and I have found realistic way to achieve them. I gotta remind myself that no matter how many advices I get, I know exactly what I'm doing and I am not like the other students who are just about to start in life. I have savings and I have a solid plan. <3 Anyway, back to doing my papers.

Strategies I use to…

Reconnect with myself˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

Hiiii, here is a list of some things I do in order to reconnect with myself!

When I feel down, overwhelmed, mindless, or just not like my usual self, these activities are my saviours.

• Physical activity!!! - You know I had to put this one first, girl. Strength training, stretching, swimming, running, walking, dancing, playing sports, etc. Physical activity makes me feel amazing and gives me a total confidence boost, I’m just in my element.

• Meditation - Deep breathing, relaxing music, clear mind, I love it! I feel a deep sense of connection with myself and the universe when meditating. It’s also just a great reset if you’re in a negative mood, I feel totally cleansed afterwards.

• Pampering!!! - face massage, gua sha, long hot bath/shower, full body massage, cute treat/drink, ice roller, positive affirmations, comfy clothes, favourite movie, and so on.

• Get creative - Getting creative is a good way to express and connect with yourself. Doing something artsy always reminds me of when I was a kid, and writing is a great outlet for my creativity.

Drawing, writing, sculpting, painting, colouring, knitting, crocheting, etc.

• Journaling - I love journaling so much. It’s a good way to check-in with yourself, learn about yourself, and release your emotions. I feel a lot more in tune with myself afterwards.

I’ll write about : Things I am grateful for, my dreams and desires, goals I’m working towards, my favourite things about myself, my feelings, etc.

• Expressing myself - Often, the reason for me feeling disconnected with myself is because I’ve hidden or ignored my true feelings/thoughts/self. I mean obviously masking yourself makes you feel disconnected with yourself…

My strategy is to openly express myself confidently. I share my feelings and opinions, and I don’t try to hide who I am. I don’t care what people think of me, I will never be ashamed or embarrassed of my authentic self.

For me who has a few weeks to not do anything.. At the end of the day, I realized I'm exactly where I need to be and I can just relax and read a book I wanna read..

Currently on a two-month break from school before I get to enroll myself for my senior year. I also obtained my very first full time job in the tech field which I am planning to stay at for long-term.

Next school year, I only gonna be enrolling 3 to 4 subjects which will fortunately allow me to get a job to fill the free times that I have. Also, despite that my lifestyle isn't as glorious as it was a year ago, I feel a little more relaxed now in a way that I am fully ready to be open to more friendships, go on some trips, and explore the world.

I don't have much friends though (as usual) haha but at the very least, I enjoy my time alone developing some hobbies, spending time with my kid, and focusing on establishing a plan to climb the career ladder which will soon permit me to embark on an adventure outside of the country. It's never too late. With my aesthetic stuff, iced coffee, organized plans, nothing is impossible! :)

Dating & Self Development Tips from a Former Pick Me (and People Pleaser)

Make your self care routine a therapy session.

Self awareness is a must. This makes holding yourself accountable a breeze even in discomfort.

Your desperation leaves a scent for predators who are on a hunt for women with low self esteem. Confidence is key, along with discipline.

Spiritual Development would do you good great. It strengthens your intuition which is a vetting device for dating.

Date as selfishly as these men (masculines). Do not settle and ALWAYS make sure you benefit how you want to. Properties. Tuition. New Titties.

You are the company you keep. Be careful who you choose to associate with.

Self control is crucial for achieving success.

Celibacy is your best strategy. Dangle, don’t deliver.

Distance yourself from hypersexual actions and individuals

Don’t strive for perfection but strive to be amongst the best

Give yourself grace when overcoming toxic traits (anger issues, hand problem etc.)

Play detective when vetting individuals, friends included

Remain aware of your surroundings and suspicious activity (or feelings) when out on dates. You’re not exempt from being trafficked or laced.

Do not invest effort and energy into emotionally exhausting relationships and individuals, family included.

Place yourself as a priority so others can put you on a pedestal

Love is useless without logistics
