Monilicious :*)

I’m already a junior.
It’s both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
Bombarded by daily quizzes, tests, and homework.
Yet…
I feel as though I need to make myself busier.
So busy that I won’t have time to complain.
People say that time flies during junior year…
I wonder just how fast this year will go
FOR ME.
Now…
Let me just…
take a deep [...]

Now, one of the frequent questions that I get about my blog is, “Why Monilicious?”
…
What does it mean to be monilicious? Does the word even exist? For the few of you that might have looked up this word in the dictionary, it is not there. This word was made by me.
Now, the story goes back [...]

Dynamite, bombs, explosives — these are not the only factors that can detonate. One, two, three….BOOM! As you can see, there is yet another dangerous ticking device ready to burst at any moment: my brain. During this year, I’ve come to realize where my limits are when it comes to managing school work, tests, quizzes, [...]

Most of you are probably wondering what my title is referring to. Five more days until school is over? Until my next exam? The deadline for a project? The SAT or maybe even the AP Biology Exam? Just five more days until what?

Actually..it’s my birthday in five days.
Yes, my 16th birthday.

You can’t believe how many times I’ve heard the word “crazy.”
Crazy for that A, or in some cases, A+.
Crazy for dance. Crazy for praise.
Crazy for perfection.
sss

Now, don’t look at me like that.
.
.
.
.
.

Fine.
I’ll admit it.
.
.

I’m a perfectionist.

But is wrong to be a perfectionist? When it comes to grades, dancing, singing, or projects, I can’t be satisfied [...]

I know that it’s kind of late, but I want to congratulate my younger brother’s birthday, which was on March 14th (yes, the same day as White day in Korea). I love my younger brother despite the countless times we quarrel and absolutely drive our mom nuts. He is special to me and I wanted [...]

Everyone knows Kevin. He dominates the screens of millions every Christmas with his unbelievable wit all over the world! He is a savior to all those lonely solos during the holidays and a kid’s best friend on Christmas morning. Kevin brings joy to all those who watch him taking on those bad guys, [...]

She hated it.
She hated Korea.
She hated her dad.
She hated her parents.
She hated this world.

As if the neighborhood was aware of all that had happened, everything remained
in total silence. There were no barks, no sounds of restless children shouting,
and absolutely no one on the streets. Monica’s once quiet sobs now fully echoed
throughout her [...]

I’ve noticed this monster living inside of me. One that is lazy, procrastinates, has a bad temper, and is constantly persuading me to do absolutely nothing. This monster relentlessly appears and tries to take over my body. Each time, a battle arises, yet it seems that there are more times when I give in to [...]

Recently, I was inspired by my friend, Yena, to write about my life experience. She is a great friend of mine, whose posts truly moved me to write more about MY unforgettable past. Now, Yena chose to write about her flight to a new, unfamiliar land: Switzerland. I have chose to write about my long [...]
