Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Hello there everyone. It's me again, and I felt rather bored today so I opted to write a blog entry discussing my current lethargic state (⊙﹏⊙✿)
Do you ever feel like doing nothing? And I'm not referring to having no activities planned for your vacation. I'm talking about that apathetic state of mind we experience when we have no duties or responsibilities to fulfill in school/work. Sounds awesome right? Well, it is for a couple of weeks. But soon after, we sometimes descend to a stage in which we've exhausted our hype and have a crisis of sorts. Unfortunately, this may or may not result in us squandering a good 2-4 months of our lives lazing around listlessly. Does anyone ever feel the same way? Because I do (๑ △ ๑)`* The feeling of possibly wasting vacation saddens me, and somehow scares me as well. It's probably just a phase, but I can't help but expect myself to do many things this summer— so much that I can't help but be sad about not being able to do as much as I hoped.
Lately, I've been doing some self-reflection. What did I really do this summer? My daily summer routine is to go on YouTube, then brush up my French on that app Duolingo (which, by the way, is a great way to kill time ^_^). Most of my friends are abroad for the summer, so I don't really have a lot of people I can talk to. But that's besides the point. I haven't really done anything significant the past couple of months, and it makes me feel a little bad about myself. Do any of you relate to that? I hope you can relate to that somehow (^_^;) Phineas and Ferb may know what to do with their 104 days of summer vacation, but I (and perhaps you as well, reader?) am going through a phase of summertime lethargy. I have no idea what to do with my vacation.
Still, I've thought of things I can busy myself with. Having an activity/hobby to pursue is a good idea. Perhaps, take a part time job? Learning to play a certain instrument or studying a new language would probably be a good use of time as well. As for me, I'm thinking of picking up my guitar again, since it has been a while. Maybe my love for the instrument will be rekindled ( ˘ ³˘)❤ And French. As a frequent obsess-er (that's a word I cobbled up just now. Forgive me) over language, I've decided to start learning French for the fun of it and perhaps it can help me boost me résumé when I'm older LOL. By trying to do these things, I hope to get rid of my summer woes~♪ But for now, I'll be waiting for my daily prime-time anime to run on TV (≧∇≦)/
And on an ending note, lazing around with no responsibilities to fulfill does feel good. But even if busying yourself with hobbies/activities during summer is great, savour the joy of being responsibility-free while it lasts :♡.•♬✧⁽⁽ଘ( ˊ▽ˋ )ଓ⁾⁾*+:•*∴
That's it for now. Do you have any summer woes yourself? Feel free to leave a comment, or perhaps a message in my C-box at the "chat" tab. Maybe we could have a lovely chat~~ Ciao, my friends (︶▽︶)
Hello there everyone! How's it going? ✿ It's been like, almost a month since my last blog post! The past week, a couple of noteworthy things happened, so I guess I ought to make a post about it. 〜(￣▽￣〜)
A couple of days ago, some church friends and I went to this outdoor adventure park. It was enjoyable. There was this giant swing thing, and you can go rappelling, and all that. Alright, so this anecdote will be about the part where I tried out the wall climbing attraction. TAKE A SEAT FOLKS. GRAB YOUR POPCORN AND YOUR DOG/CAT/PET, AND GET READY FOR MY WEIRDNESS. (੭ˊ▽ˋ)੭✧
As you all probably know, I'm an unproductive Asian who spends 80% of my time sitting/lying down while watching YouTube and sleeping. And from that, we can all guess how good I will do when I suddenly do a very strenuous physical activity like wall climbing.
Fast forward to 1:30 in the afternoon, it was my turn to take a shot in this wall climbing thing. This would be my first time doing this, and I'm terrified because the wall was towering but the wall doesn't seem too high. I see that people do it and reach the top. Seems like a simple task right?
Well no, THE ANSWER IS NO. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE WALL. Like, seriously. First few minutes? Easy as pie. Then almost halfway through, I was literally flailing my arms around and did a futile attempt on raising myself up while gripping on the holds. I was wailing "GUYS. CAN'T ANYMORE. CAN'T. I CAN'T. " between gasps. I bet that was a wonderful view for those below me.
And afterwards, I just collapsed on a bench under the shade and remained like that for at least 15 minutes. Very nice. Also, I think I got a slight sunburn on my nose, because the skin in around my face is somewhat peeling. Also, I got a very faint tan line on my ankle, which I suppose is from my socks. Cool.
And just last night, I attended a Hillsong concert with my mother and some of her friends. My arms and shoulders were still sore from the previous day's wall climbing endeavor, but it's a Hillsong concert. I can't just turn that down (☆▽☆) It's funny, when I got home after going to that adventure park, my mother was like "oh by the way, we're going to a Hillsong concert tomorrow."
I was like "um what." Because, if your mother just casually told you that after you come home sore all over, then... Like what? (^_^;) But the concert was really fun, so no regrets there. ♡✧
So... I think that's all for today. If you've read until this point, then thank you very much! So I guess I'll see you guys next time. I guess my question for y'all is: how is your summer going so far? Feel free to leave a message in my Cbox, located in the chat tab! Ciao for now! ヽ（◕◡◕❀ฺ ）ノ

Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌

About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
Books
