Been a long time since I came around
I’ve been avoiding all the questions I got regarding my trip (/pilgrimage) to Spain. Also ignored all the sharing requests I had received.
The reason being, well, for one, people expected fun stories and glam pics but in reality my second trip to Europe wasn’t such an enjoyable one. Second, up till this very moment, I’ve not fully comprehend what happened. You see, everything happened too quickly, chaos and wreck happened everywhere we went, plus most of the time I was in too much pain and annoyance to actually focus on anything else aside from myself.
It’s been 7 weeks. Recently I (a)accepted an interview from my friend who needed to run a news about locals experiencing foreign culture (b)included a little bit of what happened in Spain in a paper I wrote for Mandarin class; both helped me in digging deeper and actually reflecting on my pilgrimage.
So maybe I will write about it and actually post the pictures :)
I shall wait and see!

So late
I’ve had a few attempts to decorate my room lately. It looks slightly improved (before this it was like one impoverished child), but it’s still far from what I have in mind. A friend said why bother when it’s not exactly my house, plus I might move to a new place anytime (maybe next year?) But I insist, because I really need a familiar and warm place to go to when I’m sick and upset. I need to make my room a place where I can actually feel a sense of belonging. I wished I had my pink walls and romantic big windows back. Boohoo.
