As a teacher myself, I easily recognize when a student is spacing out.  And I’m not talking about the sleep-deprived ones who email me work at 3:49 in the morning, show up late to class, and then just put their head down on the desk (thus perpetuating the cycle). Rather, I mean the students who work diligently but pause every now and then to stare off at some random point, eyes glazing over slightly.

Having done this myself - heck, I still do this during long, drawn-out meetings! -  I recognize the signs: the gradual loosening of the facial muscles, relaxing of the shoulders, and slow, deep, peaceful breaths.  

I  empathize with these students.

In this time of Covid, I think it’s important to embrace these micro-moments of mental wellness.  Call it what you will - zoning out, spacing out, out to lunch, or off to la-la land - these mental flights of fancy allow us to escape our everyday tensions, especially those due to Covid’s ubiquity.

Spacing out is not necessarily a bad thing.  On the contrary, it can be a positive experience...though you probably don’t want to space out when writing an exam.  Or crossing Nguyen Van Linh on the way home! 

Please sit down, I have 5 kg of beef right now. I’ve been soaking up this beef inside different type of sauce: Mushroom, pepper, wine, butter, and slat. We have abundant amount of beef so just stop everything you’re doing and have a moment in your life to reflect yourself and relax.

Come and help me. Just see any sauce that you would prefer to yourself and try to taste it. Now opened up that shiny rap surrounding those meat and try to pull it out from the plastic cage, with the dust and mold getting expand from the Styrofoam. Hold this marveling meat being blending with the lean meat, with oily fat . This meat have been revealed for us to the first time, which has been the most glorious events happening on our life. This meat might have been produced from the wide meadow with a cow eating fresh grass mooing around. All the nutrient have been multiplied 2 time when we started to land it on the pan.

It started to jiggle and the oils are popping out and hitting our arms, we can hear sounds of heaven harp as the pan heats up and cooking the meat. The juice from the meat have been splendidly out. When we turned to the opposite side, the side of the cooked meat was altering into a brown color.

Pineapple adds more flavor to your pizza.

People argues that pizza should not have pineapple because it loosen the original flavor. Well, it clearly does not, it even adds more flavor to the pizza, a little bit sweet and sour balances the joyful taste that explodes in your mouth.

Wouldn’t the pizza become more yummy, delicious, and appetizing if there were some pineapple on top?

I believe that with the mixture of pineapple on your pizza, dip in with some ketchup, put on a little bit of tabasco, and then just enjoy the unbelievable delightful aftertaste. 

You could whatever you want about pineapple pizza, but don’t say anything about it if you haven’t give it an attempt. 

Pineapple on pizza should be more appreciated, not under. 

I think that donuts should also be in the talk of pizza or ice cream. You could even put the ice cream inside the donut and create a thing of beauty, and of course flavorsome. Let’s talk about the smell of the donuts. When they are getting baked, you can already smell the deliciousness in them.

I never want the donut to end. I just want it to keep on going on and on and never ending. Honestly, the feeling of buying a dozen donuts is similar to buying some new shoes. No joke. I mean shoes are more expensive but the temporary pleasure of donuts can compare to it. Anyway, I think that donuts are definitely underrated and should be in the talk of best snack/ best food.

Some people I think also chew gum as they help a lot of people not to bite their gum if they’re having anxiety attack. It helps them to limit their self-harm action by just chewing gum.

Sadly the more you chew on it, the more flavor it draws out. As a stick of gum only have a limited amount of flavor. As you stick another gum in your mouth again, it draws back that flavor, putting you back in that euphoric state.

Mine, would be as simple as a glass of warm milk. A soothing beverage to comfort you in the longest days, a subtle yet delicious and tasty confectionary. For milk doesn’t leave you during the hardest times, the glass of milk is like a mother’s touch. Warm hearted, refreshment, in a cold night while it’s raining. 

In times of COVID-19, it may be difficult to gain back that social and lonesome experience in the household. But really, a glass of warm milk takes all that pain away for that one sip.

Nothing can stop you from the feeling and aroma you get when you know that you’re loved and this is a challenge to overcome.

Nothing can steal you away from the sensation of the warm glass, slowly beckoning towards to the sip.This article really helps us remember that sometimes you just have to relax and take baby steps in order to complete the challenge.

In conclusion, I just want to say that spend time with yourself don’t spend time with betrayal and toxic people because they don’t worth your time. Be yourself, Find Yourself, Be who you want to be.  

Kindle books are great, and usually cheaper than real books themselves, but then again, who wouldn’t want a real copy of a book? Sure, kindle books might have certain advantages like the ability to never lose your books (unless you lose your kindle, in which case is a few hundred dollars down the drain.)  However, real, material books have a certain...stolidness you must appreciate.  Turning a page might make you the slightest bit more tired than just pressing a button, but it’s just not the same.  Flipping through a book is always more satisfying than just pressing buttons.  Flipping through a good book as you think about how crazy it is, while sitting at home doing nothing.  What more could you ask for?

I am enthusiastic about chewing gum, after eating breakfast and on my way to school, knowing that I have a pack in my bag it is irresistible to not take it out 

Something that makes me happy is chewing gum, chewing gum gives me pleasure and it comforts me.

Come here, let’s enjoy this bowl of melted cheese, I have just found this in the fridge earlier. Make yourself at home, at still have an abundant amount of cheese left from last week’s groceries. 

It seems like, that pack of cheese, from being made from the factory, to being transformed 

into the wheel, and finally into your mouth. Doesn’t that sounds weird? It like that cheese is made just for you. It’s been waiting its whole life through process of creation just simply to get eaten by you. It probably wouldn’t even know that it's just made for you. The comfort when eating cheese makes me feel happy whenever I take a bite. Raw cheese, cooked cheese, anything will satisfy me if only, it’s cheese.

When I was in elementary school, one of my friends were trying to mischief other students by giving a fake and anonymous card to them. Later, this became a big problem and all of our classmates were told to “Never do it again”. It was okay until this happened. Me and one of my friends told the teacher that “they” did it. As a result, someone figured it out that we told “the person who did it” to the teacher. From the next day, Me and one of my friends were having/ felt some kind of pressure from those students. I mean we did feel some kind of “sorry” for them but what I think is wrong is that they are the one who actually did it and accusing us! Make no sense! 

In this situation, we were really helped by other students. They stayed with us and supported us. It was the most happiest thing during that time. This really helped us and we think that we weren't able to overcome if there were no "help". 

Therefore, I believe that "bullying" is overlooked and although people might be scared to talk to the person bullied, it will save the person's loneliness more than you think!  

I believe that this is a very cherishable experience for me because I can always forget about everything that worries me when I am laughing over the phone with my friends. Some of my best memories include calling my friends, but it's even better when it's late at night. 

The feeling of trying to hold in your laughter so that all of the sleeping family members don't wake up is one of the best feelings i've felt. Smiling and talking about useless things could make my day all that much better. When its almost 2 am and both of you are yawning over the phone but still want to talk to each other just makes the whole experience that much more wholesome. 

People are too busy nowadays. What with all the work, and work and work, and now nobody has the time to appreciate our ol’ buddy, the good old nap. Children tend to complain, “I don’t wanna take a nap!”, and adults complain about how they “Don’t have the time for a nap!” 

People assume that a nap takes too much of their time. But it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours! A nap isn’t like sleeping, a nap only takes a single period of sleep, while sleep has many phases.

While you sleep, you undergo many different phases, each a little bit deeper than the last. But a nap, on the other hand, is just one short period of sleeping, and then back to the happy, conscious being you were. 

Why do people overlook this very important activity? It's because nobody takes naps anymore. Everybody is too busy at work, too busy at school, too busy in general to take this free energy renewer that not only relaxes you, but is an excellent way to spend your time. It gives you rest and relaxation; it de-stresses your mind from all the commotion of modern day life that plagues our heads, and most importantly, it's some time we can spend on ourselves.

You might be wondering, “Ok, now I know that napping is good for you. But what if I don’t have the time?” The thing is, you do! You can take a 20-30 minute nap, and the effects are all the same. So drop the phone of yours, get off the games, turn off your electronic devices and get napping!

Tissues are essential to life. No matter where we are, tissues are always present. Whether in a classroom, the cafeteria, the bus, or even in a workplace, tissues are everywhere. 

We use tissues on a daily basis, if we actually think about it. If tissues were non-existent, then our lives would be very different, and hard to go by. But even though all of this is true, people still don’t think about tissues that much, or appreciate them. Since we see and use them everyday, we subconsciously overlook tissues and our use of them. Now that I’ve thought of it, I never once gave tissues a second thought, until I ran out of it. I now reflect to my old self. Tissues are the best.

Cats are usually those gentle animals that you come home to, they can be silly of course, but they are mostly there to comfort you. You don’t see that for a dog, most of the time they poop everywhere in the house and they just leave a mess before you come home from work. Cats do leave messes sometimes but they don’t get hyper All. The. Time.

When you’re dealing with something serious and you’re not feeling well, a cat will sense that, and they’ll come to comfort you. When you’re doing well and wanted to celebrate before you come home, most likely the cat will not care, but they just keep chilling. Sure that’s not really expressive of them but they’re there, and they only open themselves up when you’re in a difficult position. So why does nobody talk about cats in a positive way.. EVER. They need just as much love from you as much as they give, so respect the cats, and give them free scratches.

I don’t bother to care what people say, but a cat is the coolest and most understanding animal I’ve ever had. They act as if they don’t care like they’re in a mood, or they’re going through something, but they can also be soft, in personality and and cotton candy. So yea- respect them.

If I’m gonna be honest, I want to travel with my friends more than I want to travel with my family. Traveling with friends can allow you to be the best version of yourself and express your emotions and feelings freely.

 It connects because the feeling of gathering together and telling each others’ stories while eating marshmallows at a fireplace is the best thing. Nothing would beat going on a fast roller coaster with friends. Nothing would beat swimming and playing volleyball at the beach when you’re with your friends.

 By traveling with friends can build a stronger friendship. When things are tuff and you want a break from it, that’s when exploring and discovering new things with your friends can be the best thing.

We turn to our dear ol’ nintendo, so get comfortable wherever you are and just relax. The company’s still throwing out games, might as well play some. They’re all great!
