Last Friday was truly magical. At around 5 pm. I headed to DisneySea, and the moment I entered the park, I was surrounded by the warm glow of Christmas decorations. The entire place was sparkling with festive lights, and because it was already dark, everything looked even more enchanting. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a winter fairy tale, where every corner was filled with joy and wonder. One of the highlights of the evening was buying a popcorn bucket shaped like a Christmas tree. It wasn’t just cute. it felt like a little souvenir that captured the spirit of the season. Carrying it around made me smile every time I looked at it. Later, I treated myself to a cup of hot chocolate. It was topped with marshmallows, but not just ordinary ones. They were shaped like Snowgies, the playful little characters from Frozen. That small detail made the drink feel extra special, as if Disney had added a touch of magic just for me. As the night went on, I strolled through the park, enjoying the lights, the music, and the cheerful atmosphere. On my way home, I looked up at the sky and noticed how beautiful the stars were. They seemed brighter than usual, perhaps because I was already filled with happiness. The combination of Disney’s festive charm and the peaceful night sky made the entire day feel complete. It was one of those evenings that reminded me how simple moments like a warm drink, sparkling lights, and a clear sky—can create lasting memories.

If you’ve ever wished you could walk into an English interview and finally sound like the version of yourself you respect - you’re not alone. Most people want that feeling for years. Very few ever reach it. One of my clients messaged me the day before her interview: “I don’t think I can even pass stage 1.” And the truth is, she wasn’t lacking skill. She wasn’t lacking experience. She wasn’t lacking intelligence. She was simply showing up in English as a smaller identity than the one that built her career. That is the real barrier most professionals never see. In our session, something shifted. Not her English. Not her CV. Not her preparation. The version of her that walked into the interview changed. One sentence opened it: “You aren’t an interviewee - you are a consultant.” And from that point on, something in her presence reorganized. I wish I could neatly explain what happens there, but this work doesn’t fit into a post - it happens deeper than language. Because when people enter interviews carrying the wrong identity, even 10 –15 years of experience can collapse in seconds: the voice tightens the mind blanks the confidence disappears the achievements suddenly feel “not enough” It’s painful to watch people lose opportunities not because they lack ability - but because the wrong version of themselves shows up. The very next day, the message I received was different: She passed stage 1. Then stage 2. Then she got the job. Negotiated her salary up by 20%. And received stock options. Same English. Same CV. Same person. Just the right identity finally in the room. That shift is available to more people than they realize - even if today, they’re still thinking: “I don’t think I can pass stage 1.”

I’ve seen a trend online where people put their biggest achievement of the year on a cake, and I’m curious: what would your biggest achievement be? Mine would definitely be moving into my own apartment.

"I listen to music" and "I listened to music" sound exactly the same when spoken, which is crazy!

As for me, the subject that I have always got the highest socre in my school was definitely my favourite one. Guess what? It was history. There were two reasons why I liked it very much. The first reason was that I was really interesting in these big events happended in ancient time. Especially these myths which sounded really amazing but were unbelievable. Besides the myths, some items from those old periods that display in the museums nowadays often make people to be confused, because some of them were really hard to make even with modern techniques, such as the sword belonged to a king who lived 2000 years ago. It was still shining when it was unearthed. So, aliens are always mentioned while people visit a museum. The second reason why I like history is that people can avoid making the same mistakes that ancient people made when we face the same situations. The famous emperor Li Shiming from the Tang dynasty once said that history was a mirror which not only helped us tidy our clothes, but also could reflected whether we did were right or not, and help us corrected what we would do.
