Taylor Swift's New Albums
I've been waiting for Taylor Swift's new album after hearing her Reputation album for such a long time.
Recently, Taylor released an album called Folklore and months later she released a sequel album to it, calling it Evermore. These two albums are more of an Indie pop and I enjoyed it very much. Despite the fact that each song is sad and depressing a bit, the overall melody and sounds are attractive and catchy as well.
Have you listened to the two albums? If yes, what do you like about them?
Here is the link to the entire albums that you can listen on Youtube.
- Folklore

My favorite songs are the One, Exile, My Tears Ricochet, Mirrorball, August, Illicit Affairs, Invisible Strings, Hoax, and the Lakes.
- Evermore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcbK1Aj-JE
My favorite songs are Willow, Gold Rush, 'tis the Damn Season, Ivy, Evermore
Favorite songs of the month
I've been into hip hop songs lately. These are my favorite songs for this month:
1. What You Know About Love by Pop Smoke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhTkV1r2Mpg
It's such a catchy song and I find myself to put it on replay for a really long time :)
2. Rockstar by DaBaby
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83xBPCw5hh4
This is another catchy song and I also put it on replay. I'm trying to figure out the meaning of this song and I am a bit stumped still. I might not have spent enough time studying this song.

Upstate New York
Three days ago, the short hike in the Corbetts Glenn brought back the memory of when I discovered how healthy and enjoyable taking walks can be. It's October, and as I was told, the leaves are turning into their foliage form for the autumn season, though there are many more green leaves as the leaves won't change their color until the end of October and even November. The beautiful bright yellow, orangy-red and light brown colors of the leaves turn the park into a magical place and as I continued my easy stroll, it was as if I was in Harry Potter land, the British landscape in England. One could not believe how beautiful they are until he or she actually situates himself at the exact location. People say you have to see it in order to believe it. In the same way, we have to actually see it in order to appreciate how beautiful mother nature can transform this all green park into a multi-colored place.
The next day, I had a chance to see Niagara Falls and boy, it was something my small mind was unable to predict and expect. The falls were hundreds of feet high and the length of the falls totaled up to thousands of feet (there was a small sign telling visitors the exact length and height of the falls; I have a tendency to look at signs and numbered facts while seeing attractions during my travels). The currents of the rivers were forceful and fast and with one drop of an object in the river, one can see the current was able to push it forward to the other bends with intensity and great force. The American Falls and the Prospect Point gave a spectacular view of the falls and for the first time in a long time, I remember how I could not imagine how such beautiful and majestic could be real, right in front of me. Don't get me wrong, I have seen many falls in Yosemite in Northern California but this falls were something else. It was bigger and it can take hold of the mind and let it see how big mother nature can be.
From this trip, I realize that it is easy for us to forget how the small things in life can be put aside in our mind and how we need to focus on them to live a joyful life. Niagara Falls and Corbetts Glenn are not small things; they are beautifully created by mother nature and they some how can capture a person's heart and mind with just the way they are. It's like real love. Your boyfriend or spouse should love you the way you are and not because of the type of job and how much money you have and they should accept your bad and good sides too. Likewise, your friends should love you just the way you are, they should love all your flaws and all your goodness and they should always be there for you when you need someone to talk to and spend time with. The Bible called this an unconditional love and we all should follow it. It's a good Golden Rule to remember.
All in all, the colder weather in Upstate New York didn't deter me from enjoying the delightful weather of the country side and the suburban parts of the state New York and I hope one day to see it again. Until next time New York. Ciao.

The Rules Out There
In order to succeed in life, we have to follow some rules. And there aren't many of them out there. They're just guidelines on how to approach situations and they are not complicated, however they can have dire consequences when we refuse to follow them. These rules can be written, spoken or unspoken and unwritten. If we break them, they will break us.
This applies to any situations in life, from a school setting to the work environment. For instance, we all have to listen to the teacher's rules from primary school and up to college level, otherwise we fail. If the rule says 3 + 3 is 6, and we say the answer is 9, then we have an incorrect answer. We didn't follow the rule of addition. There are always rules at work in an academic settings; the instructors or the academic institution created them.
I remember when I first followed certain rules, it was the hardest mental task I have done in my life especially when it came to taking tests, particularly science tests. If the professor and textbook told me to use certain equations and concepts and apply to the question on a quiz and tests then I have to do it. If I don't, I will get an incorrect answer and if I do, I can get the right answers and score more points.
In the same way, there are rules at work I have to follow. If my supervisors want me to do a specific job and there is a deadline I have to abide by it or else I risk of getting terminated.
What about the rules in a social setting? Such as at a party? Should a guy get a drink for a girl if he likes her or should the other way occur. I do believe there are rules in social settings such as when to do something, eg when to start a new job and career, when to end a relationship, when to join another circle of friends, and etc. However I do believe the rules in a social setting are more lenient and they are much easier for us to break and we have the tendency to break them at times. However when we break these rules, there can be direct consequences and the results might not be wanted and we might not see it until in the far future.
Rules are just statements telling us what to do and what not to do and as a kid, they can seem daunting to follow. Though I must say some kids are not afraid of these rules. It helps to be raised in a family where they give emotional support and to have friends who give the support a person needs to succeed in following these rules. Especially when a person is committed to follow these rules.
I also notice that people can intentionally or unintentionally follow rules. Though one might asked what type of person do better in life: the one who follows the rules intentionally or unintentionally?
In conclusion, rules are always helpful to follow. They can be difficult to follow due to our stubborn mind, the good thing is when we change our mindset and accept these rules, they will free us from any imminent frustrations and future ones as well,

Just A Thought
Here is a thought. I've been contemplating about this topic this past days and they seem to be an annoyance and less of a help than whatnot. Of late, I've been thinking people seem to have all their lives together, a good career and good relationships. I sometimes feel I don't have what they have and I need to have what they have. I went into the cycle of comparing my life to other people I know and it's the most destructive and demeaning way to treat the self.
Somehow I forgot I have many experiences under my belt. I forgot I worked hard to get my Bachelors and that I worked very hard to keep my many jobs that were not too easy to obtain and kept at times. These experiences didn't give me the paychecks that doctors get but they taught me lessons that I would never have get if I didn't have them in the beginning. They gave me the tough love I needed, and they taught me how to be the person who needs to succeed in life at a professional and personal level.
One thing that put my mind at ease is the thought of how people don't think about me as much as I believe they do. And this did the trick. It unleashed me from this mental bondage and this torture that I have put on myself and with just this new way of thinking, magic happens and I became a new confident person.
