Night Owl

Are you more of a night or morning person?
View all responses

I have always been a night person. Throughout my school years, I have preferred sitting late into the night to study.

When I was younger I thought it was because my sister woke up early in the morning. Since we shared one study table among us it just made sense to study at different times.

But over the years I have noticed that I am more productive in the late hours. I prefer the silence. There is no one else awake with me so I can do what I have to at a stretch without any interruptions.

Ironically, the first job I had was a night shift job which completely altered my sleep cycle. I initially liked working at night and then having the day to myself.

However, over the years I do realize the toll staying up at night has taken on my body. I am trying to switch over to being a morning person. I want to wake up earlier and finish more in the early hours of the day. I think by doing that I can feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day rather than the stress of not having done enough.

I am trying to sleep earlier and wake up earlier even if I feel tired. I want to start my day with a walk in the fresh air. I also want to cut down on my coffee intake and hopefully reduce my procrastination during the day.

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?
View all responses

I think my answer to this question will vary depending when I actually answer the question.

When I am in a more artistic mood, I would want to learn how to draw better. I want to learn how to draw portraits. The realistic kind with minute details.

When I am in an DIY mood, I would want to learn how to use power tools so that I can build something. Maybe a table or a small shelf.

When I am in a studious mood, I want to complete my ever piling syllabus. I want to focus and finish studying and also pass my exams.

When I am in an organizing mood, I want clean up each and every inch of the house I live. Also, I want to reorganize all the things in the house.

When I am in the cooking mood, I probably want to learn how to bake and cook new cuisines.

Or if I am in a lazy mood, I would just want to sleep!

My Own Home

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
View all responses

Being the youngest in my family I have always been pampered. There was nothing ever that I needed and not got.

You never really appreciate what you have. You always want what others have. For a short while I had a place that I could call my home. And the feeling was just amazing. It was a strange place among strange people but I still managed to to find happiness.

I would not like to live in a place that is ravaged by wars or in a place where woman do not have equal rights. Other than that, I think I would love to call any place my home. And the only place that I would want to live is my home.

Too philosophical? Agreed! But no regrets! I stay with my words.

Identification Issues

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?
View all responses

I would not recognize a famous person even if they hit me in the face.

Being an inherent introvert I usually choose to avert peoples eyes so that I do not have to talk to them. Overtime I have switched to being an ambivert, so I do talk to people now when situations demand it. However, now I am faced with another challenge. No matter how hard I try, placing faces to the situations I met them in has become a mounting issue for me.

And to that effect, I am sure that even though I have met some famous people along the way I just cannot connect their names to the faces in person. I mean, I was outside the Grammy venue and all I remember was being under dressed and the amount of security around the place.

So unfortunately, their is no name that I can give for now.

What is good about having a pet?
View all responses

In my opinion everything about having a pet is amazing!

There will be some that will disagree especially when you see your ripped clothes or have your furniture peed on.

But for me, all that is just small things. No matter what mood I am in, my puppy always knows how to make things better. I do not know how.

On days that I come home after a grueling day at work, he runs around me in circles. Then, he runs straight at me. He makes all the exhaustion from the day just vanish. I end up playing with him and feeling energized.

Sometimes when I sit and cry, he slowly crawls into my lap and licks away my tears. He puts his head on my shoulder and keeps it there till I stop crying.

When I watch him running in his sleep or watch him trying to catch a mosquito it instantly brings a smile to my face.

To those who feel alone in this world even with everyone around do try to adopt a pet. They don’t use words. They do not understand what you are going through but they try their best to fill your void.

Chemistry

What was your favorite subject in school?
View all responses

I have strayed far away from a career in my favorite subject – chemistry.

There was a time when you could wake me up in the middle of the night and I would be able to draw complex compound structures without missing a second.

I was fascinated by how the different chemicals reacted with each other and resulted in a whole different type of chemical at the end. The experiments were just amazing!

I loved the different colors and reactions of the experiments. Though the smells from the experiments were not very… pleasant… it never deterred me from the beakers and test tubes of the chemistry lab.

Finding Clarity

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

They said you need to loose yourself to find yourself,
I did not believe it to be so.

Little did I know that this world will teach me something I never knew there was to learn.

I have lost the ability to dream,
All I wish for now is to escape.

I want to fade away into the darkness,
Fade away from everyone’s memory.

I don’t want to be the reason for their pain,
Today I feel the burden of their love.

I feel too tired to go on,
I know I should not give up.
If I do, I escape the pain but add more pain to them.

I need to breathe again, I need to care again,
Little by little I need to build myself again.

Not to prove that I am better to them,
But to prove that I am better for myself.

I deserve to dream. I deserve to hope.
It was done to me, so I won’t break others to build myself.
I am going to find room for myself,
To make a life worth living.

The day I finally get rest, my life would have been one worth living.
I am going to try my hardest to make it so.

So come at me world, with all your worst,
I will break down but not give up.

Today I failed, but I will try again tomorrow.
The odds may not be in my favor, but I am bound to win at some point.

So I will keep trying, in the hope I can look back and say “I made it”.

A Silent Prayer from my heart for you

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I wish you success and joy wherever you go,
Cause I have seen the tears of sadness from the days before.

I wish you love abundant to fill your lifetime,
Cause I know the silent heartbreaks you have hidden within.

I wish you have smiles of the everlasting kind,
Cause I noticed the ones that faded away with time.

I wish you hope that feeds your dreams,
Cause I know the pain of failures you carry on your shoulders.

I wish you contention in the life you live,
Cause I know you only lived your life for others.

I wish that you always move forward,
Cause I have seen the chains of responsibilities that tie you down.

And last of all, I wish you faith in yourself,
Remember that what you have achieved, no one else has.

Undisturbed Routine

Describe your ideal week.

Ideal week?

To me, the ideal week would be when I achieve all that I set to achieve for the week.

I wanna be able to wake up every morning, pray sincerely, complete my morning exercise, prepare my meals. Then, go to work and complete all the targets for the day, share some good conversations with my friends. At the end of work, get back home and take some time to maybe do some art or something I like. And finally have a good nights rest..

I would say something is ideal when not much goes wrong. I know it is challenges that help us grow, but some days you just want to live without a care in the world.

However, as much as I like a carefree life, I know that I would definitely get bored of it soon. But maybe once in awhile, little break wouldn’t harm anyone.

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
View all responses

I love watching ice skating. Its so peaceful and so mesmerizing. Words cannot describe it. Yuzuru makes magic happen on ice. I always thought that grace is associated with women but all of his performances exudes that.

I know that there are many other athletes who are as passionate about their sports as him. However, being a person who has zero knowledge of sports of any kind I very often don’t know about half of them.

I believe all athletes should be respected it takes a lot of commitment and sacrifices to be the best in their profession. Not everyone is born with that drive. They struggle in silence but their hard-work pays off as appreciation of millions of others. Funny part, they never think of the applause when they struggle, they only think of their end goal.

Such unadulterated passion not only deserves respect, it commands it!
