Self-Directed post: The Streets of London

I took this video back in 2018 on my trip to London. I find this video to be poetic in a sense where there are so many people crossing the street and walking around town, who all have different stories.

My cousin recently gifted me this blue wool blanket for Christmas! I love the colour of this blanket and its soft wool texture. Every time I am laying on the couch and studying for my classes, I wrap my self up in this blanket to stay warm and cozy. Whenever I see/use this blanket, I get a sense of security and comfort.

Self-Directed post: 'I Love You' in Paris

# data[].attributes.body
I found this picture in my camera roll, that I took during my trip to Paris. The wall shows many different ways of saying "I love you' in different languages. I find this fascinating as although the languages are all different and we may not understand them, they all convey the same message.

This is a picture I took last summer when I went camping near Hope, BC. The photo shows the rough currents in the river, perfect for white water rafting. Despite the river appearing to be rough and fast-paced, the sky and the trees around appear to be calm and peaceful.

One of my grandma's favourite flowers is an Orchid! Because this is her favourite flower, I always buy it for her birthday every year. Orchids have such beautiful and big petals and a sweet yet fresh scent. My grandma loves the beautiful colours of the orchid, with her favourite being the white coloured ones. Every time I see an orchid, i'm reminded of her.

This is a picture I found in my camera roll from my camping trip in the summer. My family and I had gone to camping near Hope BC and were so surprised and mesmerized with this beautiful view from our campsite! It felt nice to take a break from reality and focus on nature and our surroundings.

I recently made brownies and I used an old recipe that my relatives had given me. I love brownies so much and every time I eat them they remind me of when I was younger and would make them with my grandma. I always love to bake brownies and I love the sweet chocolatey aroma that fills my kitchen every time I make them!

Self-Directed Post: The Cotton Candy Sky

I took this photo on my drive home one day. I remember being so tired after a long day at work and as I was heading home, I saw this beautiful view outside my window! The blue, pink and orange coloured sky reminded me of cotton candy, which I used to love when I was younger. Driving home to this view definitely made my day.

Self-Directed post: Music Transcends Language

# data[].attributes.body
This photo shows lyrics to one of my favourite Korean song "Magic Shop" by BTS. Although the song is originally written and sung in Korean, every time I listen to it, I feel all the emotions and messages of the song. On the right side of the picture, the English translation is shown. I find it really fascinating how music is able to transcend language and fight against language barriers. Even if we don't understand the lyrics or it's story at first, it still creates an impact on us and brings out a bunch of different emotions. For this song in particular, although I don't understand the language, I felt all the emotions the artists were trying to share.

Self-Directed Post: The Different Interpretations of 'Kites'

# data[].attributes.body
This is another photo I found from a few years ago, where my group and I had to do a brainstorming project. Our teacher gave us the word "kites" and we had to each come up with what the word could've symbolized in the story we read. It's really interesting how we all read the same book and got the same keyword, yet we all came up with different meanings as to what 'kites' could represent. It's so cool how we all interpret things differently!

Self-Directed post: High School Biomes Map

This photo was taken back when I was in grade 12. I remember we had an assignment on the different types of biomes on Earth and we had to colour each area based on the biome they had. I find it interesting how each location is coloured differently, to represent its type of biome. Moreover, I feel as if we always look at the world and countries as a whole when viewing a map but we don't analyze or pay as much attention to the small differences such as the different biomes they have, etc.

I found this picture of a sign post in my camera roll. The sign shows different cities and places written in different colours. I think its fascinating how each place is written and coloured differently and how they all lead to different places.

I have this picture from a concert I went in 2018. I remember being so excited for this concert as my favourite singer at the time, Khalid, was performing. Looking at this picture now and thinking about the concert, I realized that concerts can be poetic. Everyone who attends the concert forgets about their lives and problems for a bit and all enjoy the music they love together.

I recently found this quote and I really resonate with its messages. Oftentimes I feel stressed and overwhelmed in life. However, sometimes I just need to take a step back and remember that although some things may stress or worry me, they may be good and help me out in the long run.

Week 1: A Poetic Thing That's Not A Poem

I find my pencil case to be poetic because although all the pens may look different (come in different colours, sizes, shapes, etc.) and came from different places, yet they all have the same purpose and perform the same job in the end.

I remember the cold breeze hitting my face the second I stepped out of the hotel.

I remember the sweet smell of freshly baked pastries at the bakery across from me.

I remember the bright sun rising and shining over the clouds, as the birds began to chirp around me.

I remember the loud sounds of cars and buses filled with people rushing to get to work.

I remember the bitter taste of my coffee as I took one of my first sips that morning.

Milk & Honey is one of my favourite poetry books I've ever read! While reading through all the poems, this one stood out the most to me. I never really thought about how poetic our names actually are and how they could hold such a strong connotation. The poem talks about how a person's name could either have a positive or negative connotation, depending on one's relationship with the person.

My 3 moments of delight:

1. I felt delight when I woke up today and made myself a matcha latte. I love making matcha lattes as I crave the delightfully sweet yet bitter taste of matcha. Waking up to a coffee/latte in the morning was delightful as I was able to enjoy a nice warm drink while having some alone time to myself.

2. I felt delight when I laid down in my bed last night, with warm freshly washed sheets! Every time I do laundry and wash my bedsheets, I feel so much delight as I know my bed will be so cozy! Small things like this make me feel so delightful.

3. I felt delight when my mom saved me the last cinnamon roll she had bought. She knows that I love cinnamon rolls and that its taste reminds me of my childhood memories.
