                                 I probably seem like a nerd writing on this topic. Taking it optimistically, I really am (Nerds rock by the way!). I don’t want to boast but I have done very good performance in my school days, in high school and now at college. When I look back into last 4-5 years, there has been no record of “failed” exams. Things got a little out of handle when I shifted school from Philippines to Nepal. I was a lot weak in Mathematics and Nepali. I was tremendously better at English than my peers though during my school days. Then at high school, I went for the subjects that I loved most. I chose to study English literature, Mass Communication and Sociology. It was during my high school days that I became the best one in every subject I was studying. It mostly has to do with the passion that I had to just come out at the top. I received admiration and compliments from my lecturers, and teachers. Now I’ve just completed my first year course at college. Needles

Life doesn’t come with a help manual. As we go through different events and moments, we gather varieties of experiences and the lessons we learn from them. A way to learn as much as we can is to try everything possible. We have to be able to take risks and come out of that comfort zone to see the  life as it really is. The time I gave a serious thought to how long I wanted to live was in a program held by W-CARP about two years ago. It was a sisterhood/brotherhood program. The speaker wanted a volunteer and I was quick on my feet to get up. I made my way to the stage flawlessly. The speaker looked at me and asked my name. Then he asked me “How long do you want to live?”.. I gave it some thoughts and I said “90“. The audience seemed amused. Then the next question was why. I said I want to complete my purpose of being born and want to achieve my aim. The next question popped up,"Would you want to have 50,000 people come to mourn at your death like of Ban Ki Moon?”.. I said “Yea

Hello there! :) I just wanted to write a funny post about how relationships can be predictable by seeing the nature/behavior of one's partner. It is only for the sake of laughing it off. But this post also sheds some light on bitter reality. I'm writing this from a girl's perspective, hence, the use of "he". The drawings are done by me! <3                 15 reasons why your relationship may fail: 1. Everything moves fast. As soon as you accept that person, he tells you that you are his final choice and he is going to marry you. He says that you are the best person he has ever met and you are so amazing. He makes a checklist of things he wants in a girl. He tells you that you have everything he wants. Very quickly, he makes plans of future. He ponders over the idea of honeymoon and how he wants to have twins. All of this is very alarming because it’s just the start of relationship, and he starts giving you all hopes. Soon, before you know it, h

Today I woke up to be shocked by the news that Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo had split after 3 years of relationship. They were my favorite celebrity couple. I thought they would last a long time. It made me question whether true love was really out there. Sure, every relationship starts very much the same way. The silence is finally broken when one tells that they love the other. It's mostly a boy who says it first. The love bombing phase starts. He does everything to make her fall for him and she finally accepts him. Everything seems to go "perfect". They idealize each other. They get into illusion that "love" is all you need for a relationship to work. That is the foolish assumption where all begins to fall apart. What relationship needs is respect and compatibility. Opposites may attract but only for a while. At first it's amusing to be with a person who is very different from you. Later, the spark of interest fades away when there are arguments an

Hey there! I wrote this essay months ago. I'm sure it can be interesting for you all to read it. It covers an interesting topic. Essay: It's Not What You Look at That Matters, It's What You See                        In our lives, we mostly overlook the essence of a thing or situation. When we look at something, it doesn't mean we understand what it really is. To look means, "to merely turn towards or focus your eyes towards an object", while to see means "to perceive or understand". Even when we carefully examine the same thing another person has, we might see something completely different because of our different life experiences. From my understanding, Henry David Thoreau's quote says - Everything in life, there's always a deeper meaning or reasoning. What we look at on the outside cannot be fully interpreted or understood until we see further.                                As an individual, I've noticed many circumstanc
