try to make a decent cake in a cup
but I failed infinitely.

trust
Trust in failures
Because they are blessings in disguise.
Trust in sadness
Because they do not stay forever in your life.
Trust in depressions
Because they help you to be a stronger person.
Trust in hope
Because it keeps you alive.
Trust in faith
Because it shapes who you are.
Trust in destiny
Because it is your guardian angel.
Trust in yourself
Because no one will if you do not want to.
Smile. Love. Persevere.

I believe...
What do you believe in?
I believe in destiny.
I believe in determination.
I believe in perseverance.
I believe in hope.
I believe in patience.
I believe in passion.
I believe in wisdom.
I believe in forgiveness.
I believe in love.
I believe in you.
Just because I wanted to.
Life is a choice,
and the choice is in your hands.
Do not make your choice because you have to;
make your choice because you want to.
That's the difference between your life and someone else's life;
That's the difference between happiness and bitterness.
That's the difference between fulfillment and disappointment.
That's the difference between fulfillment and disappointment.
Smile. Love. Persevere.

I used to...
love to draw in my History notes because
that was the only joy I found in History.
Smile. Love. Persevere.
home-less
HOME is a place where you'll never ever forget.
HOME is a place where you'll keep it safe deep within your heart.
HOME is a place where you'll never replace it with anything else no matter what.
Home is a place where I find comfort and peace. When everything else in the world turns their backs against you, you know that the only place that you can lean on to is your home. Home would never betray you or hurt you. Its arms are always open for you. Its shoulder are always available for you to cry on to. Its smiles are always there for you if you ever need one.
Being a sole traveler from my home country, I need to find a place which has the most resemblance to my definition of home. As I stepped my foot at Mount Carmel, Illinois, it has been my first home ever in the states. Although it is a small town with just a population of 7000 residents, I found comfort in it. I cried, yelled, laughed, and expressed myself as much as I wanted to in my tiny little apartment.
Currently being squeezed inside a four-walled dorm room without any kitchen, living room, and bathroom, it is a struggle for me to try to call it a home or even a house. It is just a place for me to sleep. I felt that my freedom is limited now. It is not a place for me to find complacency. Now everything seems to fall apart in my life, and I don't even have a home to go back to.
I miss home.
Smile. Love. Persevere.

colorful
"Life was just like a box of chocolates" (Forrest Gump).
As in my case, life is just like a box of colorful jellybeans. As I scrolled down through my photo album, I came across this photo which has a reminiscence of how I view my life. I squinted my eyes and tried to remember what flavors of jellybeans I got. And yes, I got something which looked the most appealing to me. I chose 3 jellybeans. The first one was popcorn flavored, and the second one was cotton candy flavored. I think the third one was Piña Coloda or coconut flavored. Well, it didn't matter what flavor I have chosen but it is a matter of how I choose the jellybeans. I chose the one which I desired the most.
The same goes with what I want to do with my life. How should I choose it? Should I choose it according to my desire even though it is not promising. It is not as simple as selecting which jellybeans I want to eat. It is a huge decision which not only will it affects me but also somebody else too. It is a huge decision which not only change my entire career path but also my entire future. It is a huge decision which not only requires a whole load of determination but also brings a whole load of difficulties, and perhaps failures too.
"Life is just like a box of colorful jellybeans. Each jellybean gives you different surprises."
