It’s been about 10 days since I got back to Taiwan from the Philippines. This past week was packed with seeing so many people and taking care of a lot of things. I was a bit worried about my next job at first, but things turned out way smoother than I expected. Fingers crossed for good news on Monday! Here are a few recent photos.It feels so good to be back in Taiwan and enjoying all the delicious food again!

I took the day off to rest at home. I had terrible insomnia last night and barely got any sleep, so I called in sick this morning at the last minute. It feels like I've stolen a little bit of time entirely for myself, where I can just figure out what I want to do. Right now, I'm thinking I'll finish the puzzle I bought a while back, listen to some of my favorite music, and actually cook a proper meal for a change.

Today I practice speaking,it very chill and fun thanks teacher and students.I have a great time

Lately, there have been a few little things that made me happy, so I thought I’d share them here. First, I recently went to the mountains to see the night view, and it was so beautiful. I really loved how quiet it was up there. It felt nice to just sit there, look at the lights, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. I think I really like places like this. Second, I was really happy to see that my journal paper was finally published recently! 🥹 My research is related to AI and society, so seeing it online after working on it for so long made me feel really happy and proud. Third, I happened to pass by a gummy bear store and bought some. 😂 I haven’t eaten gummy bears in a really long time, and they were SO good! I honestly forgot how much I liked them. 🧸 Finally, I went to a JOJO exhibition! ⭐ I haven’t actually started watching JOJO yet 😂, but I really like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I feel like the story has a lot of positive ideas, especially about courage, determination, and believing in yourself. It’s definitely one of the Japanese anime that I really like.Just some little things from my recent days, but they made me happy. 🤍

Does anyone else take traditional Chinese medicine long-term? Last week, I went to see a TCM practitioner to get my body back on track because I was having some health issues, and I've noticed a huge difference. I'm actually considering whether I could start taking it kind of like a daily supplement. I've also slowly realized that TCM isn't as bitter as I remember it being when I was a kid. Now, it kind of has this natural, grassy scent to it it's pretty neat.
