Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Hello there, everyone. It is I. How're you all? (ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
I'm doing well, so no need to worry about me ^_^ No one cares, Cossette //slapped
Anyways, today, I decided to post something meaningful! Yeah! *awkwardly throws confetti*
Ahem, so I guess I shall begin.
You see, a kid approached me today as I was going home. I was drinking this coke I got from Mcdonald's, and was walking along the overpass. I passed by these poor street children. No biggie, right?
Anyways, they approached me. The kid was asking for my drink. Of course, I was still kinda processing the situation, so I wasn't really thinking, and gave my soft drink to the little girl. My face had a rather baffled expression, and I looked like I was eyeing the lass suspiciously.
... Which I regret. I wish that I'd at least put on a smile to show that I gave her my drink because I care, not because I wanted her to stay away, you know? That's the only thing that keeps bothering me. I'm kinda washed over by guilt, somehow...
Now that I have the time to sort of think about it, I'm thankful that God has given me the stuff I need, and even more. Sometimes, we need an eye-opener to see that we have everything to thank the Lord for. Although it seems like we're going through some hard stuff, I believe it's His crucible, so we can be "refined" into better Christians. But, I digress. Anyways, as I was saying, I felt a bit guilty. Maybe I should've shown a little more kindness? Well.... I don't know how you'll interpret what I'm saying (... well... typing) here, but the message I wanna get across is that... Don't be stingy. Share your blessings with the less fortunate, and try being kind. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside when I help others.... And I want everyone to know that awesome experience. Because I think that it won't hurt to be kind every now and then~ (ノ^_^)ノ Be the little ray of sunshine in our relatively dim society ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ That's it, I guess. So, what do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts! See you! (^o^)/

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 ❤
