Being a country with 5,000 years of history they are known for their rich traditions. I also dream of visiting the Great Wall and the Yellow Mountains. I’m a big fan of Chinese cuisine, roast duck, soup dumplings, spicy hotpot, rice noodles, and dim sum are my favorite dishes, so I’d love to try them in their original country. I could also make new acquaintances while I stay in the country and practice some mandarin.]]> 2022-09-09 20:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2290235691 My Worst Habit parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2316717429 I believe my worst habit to be my lack of emotional responsibility, I usually can’t keep up with all my acquaintances or friendships, so I end up ghosting them, it’s not intentional, I get easily overwhelmed by almost everything and prefer to take some distance without any notice. I’m highly aware it’s not fair for them to have me go in and out of their lives like that, it’s really selfish of me, so that’s why ghosting it’s my worst habit.]]> 2022-09-28 03:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2316717429 A scary story. parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2329309959 When I was little I used to stay with my mom at her office and there was this tale about a little kid that wandered the halls at night or when the office was completely alone, so a lot of people where scared to stay until late, but not my mom, she didn’t believe in those things. 
One busy night, my mom had a lot of work, so she didn’t have time to take me home and brought me to her workplace instead. No one but a friend of my mom’s was there too. I wanted to play but they were both busy. 
My mom gave me my blanket, placed me on top of a desk and told me to try to sleep. That’s exactly what I did or what I can remember. 
Since my mom said I stood up out of the blue, and she asked me what I was doing. I said “the kid wants me to play with him”. In that moment, both my mom and her friend were speechless. I had no idea of the tale, yet I had seen the kid. That’s when my mom told me we should go. 
And I didn’t understood why until I was old enough to understand.

It follows the story of a desperate mom trying to save her daughter from an old Buddhist curse she violated several years before. The movie starts wit the mother showing us several symbols and prayers, accompanied by some hand signs, she teaches us how and when we should do it and tells us all of this is for protection. Then we get introduced to her daughter, who se recently reunited with. As soon as they get to their house strange things start happening. The mom finds herself going back to a paranoia state and only calms down after she realizes she needs to be strong for her daughter. It’s here when we learn more about the curse and it’s origin. She used to have a YouTube channel with her best friend and her boyfriend, the latter’s family owned a temple with a mysterious tunnel. In the family’s temple they worshipped a little kid, who they believed had been sent by the deity as a messenger. 
They eat, have fun and then make a bow to never use their real name again. In this, she offers her future daughter’s name to the goddess as a show of fidelity. 
Everything goes alright until they sneak out to go into the tunnel, once they’re out a lot of weird stuff happens, but her boyfriend and best friend end up going inside. After some time, the only one who gets out it’s her best friend, in a really bad state. He’s gone crazy and ends up killing himself because of his insanity.
The terrified mother runs away, but a little after the incident she realizes that everyone who says their name dies. So she stops going by her name.
Going back to the present, the mother reveals to us she’s aware of this curse’s origins and that all this time we’ve been doing these signs we were spreading the curse in hopes to save her daughter. At the end, she sacrifices herself by seeing the deity’s face in order to stop the curse.

My love for Taylor started when I was just a kid, singing her songs in my mom’s car was what truly made me the happiest, my favorite song at the time was The Story of Us. I was 8 years old when she released 1989, but I remember it like it was yesterday, I had never been happier, songs like I Know Places, Wonderland and Style where permanently stuck in my head. Then in 2016, when she got canceled, I kept supporting her, until she bounced back and announced LWYMMD, it was THE comeback. 
I also love Taylor because of her deep lyrics and great music, she always puts a lot of effort on every album she releases.

Before we could pick a movie, I gave her a rose quartz necklace. Then we decided to pick a random movie, because we were late for the one we actually wanted to see. 
I fell asleep on her shoulder, and she held my hand through the whole movie. It was really nice, I felt safe like I hadn’t felt in a long time, in that moment it was just us what mattered. 
When the movie finished we didn’t want to say goodbye, so we spent another hour walking at the mall. I honestly missed her so much the next day, a good thing is I’ll see her on Saturday :)

So for 2023, I’d love to be at peace, enjoy the most with my closest one’s. I’d love to travel and continue discovering myself and the things I like. That’s all I ask for.]]> 2023-01-11 21:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2441488756 Friendship parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2451475566 For me, friendship is very special, to give someone all of your trust takes time. I have very few friends, but I think it’s for the better, it’s more comfortable.

I love going out with my friends, and talking about our likes as much as I love listening and being there for them when things get hard. 

Friendship is a gift.]]> 2023-01-20 19:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2451475566 My Favorite Love Song parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2459015745 My favorite love song is Labyrinth by Taylor Swift, a peaceful string of harmonies that repeat themselves as anxious thoughts. It centers on the concern that you might be falling in love a little too soon after a heartbreak.
It’s more than just a song, it’s a whole experience.
One of my favorite lyrics is,
“I’ll be getting over you my whole life”
It perfectly depicts falling in love with the same person throughout your entire life, not getting bored of them. That’s the kind of love I ought to have. Taylor is just a great lyricist, I love all of her songs.]]> 2023-01-27 14:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2459015745 What does love mean to me? parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2466742103 Love is an emotion that cannot be defined with words. It’s defined by actions. Love is caring by someone so deeply that we don’t demand change from them, love transforms us. Towards someone, love can be really special, it inspires us and opens us to the possibility of seeing the world from a different perspective. 
Sometimes, our high standards and our personal expectations keep us from  feeling real love towards somebody. Only feeling affection can’t be wrong, but once you find true love your start seeing it’s involved in everything. Love means having no expectation’s.
But before I could know what love is, I had to know what it definitely wasn’t.
For me, love goes deeper than possesion and jealousy, love is peace and trust.

Daphne had me on a chokehold, I absolutely loved her and wanted to be like her. I remember staying up late only to watch it on Cartoon Network, until this day, I still know every single dialogue by heart.]]> 2023-02-25 03:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2494520829 MY COMFORT FOOD parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2501790008 The food that comforts me the most are quesadillas. I can eat thousands of ‘em without ever getting bored. Quesadillas are always there for me when I’m happy, I’m sad or mad, they bring joy to my life. I could eat them for a lifetime, they are delicious, even if they are incredibly simple, I’m really grateful that quesadillas exist.]]> 2023-03-02 22:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2501790008 Easter Break 2023 parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2560596541 This year’s Easter break was very convenient because I really needed to take a break from high school duties. I spent most of the time focused on painting, sleeping or cooking. I baked a strawberry cake, painted with my girlfriend, who gave me some peeps to celebrate easter and went for pizza.
I was just so happy to be at home, I can’t wait for summer break.]]> 2023-04-19 18:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2560596541 An embarrassing moment 😔 parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2571014405 When I was a little kid, I used to think people from TV shows lived on a different world, inside of the television. So when my mom asked if I would like to be on TV I said I couldn’t because there was no way of fitting inside of the TV, and she laughed at me :C]]> 2023-04-27 23:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2571014405 11th GRADE REWIND parisvalerialemus https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2596743115 This school year overall has been really challenging to me, since I learned to calm down and not stress over school assignments. Though sometimes I just couldn’t keep my hands off of schoolwork. I tried my best to enjoy life more, focus on my friends, my family and myself. I keep learning and trying to do what I feel will be the best for me in order to allow myself to grow.]]> 2023-05-18 20:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/parisvalerialemus/lom2r969gfi0ua6d/wish/2596743115
