If I could go back in time

If I could go back in time,

Before COVID changed our climb,

Life was simple, clear, and near,

With friends and family always here.


No masks to hide a smiling face,

No screens to take the teacher’s place.

We played outside, met face to face,

Shared meals and laughter in each space.


Then COVID came and changed it all,

Empty streets and silent halls.

We stayed at home, wore masks each day,

Learned new digital ways to stay.


Online classes, virtual chats,

No busy parks or crowded mats.

No festivals loud, no close embraces,

Lost traditions, empty places.


Yet in the stillness, we found strength,

To keep connected at great length.

Though distant now, we held on tight,

Hoping for a future bright.


Now COVID’s gone, we gather nearby,

But some old habits disappear.

Though we meet and celebrate,

The world feels shifted, different state.


We cherish closeness all the same,

But screens remain a bigger game.

Some traditions slowly fade,

As new ways live and old one's trade.


What if COVID never came?

Would life feel just the same?

Now that we can choose anew,

How will we keep what’s good and true?

A letter to Lee Gyuntak and Noh Miyoung

Dear Lee Gyuntak (Writer of Leviathan) and Noh Miyoung (Illustrator of Leviathan), Leviathan,  the manwha that the both of you created has captured me from the very first chapter. I really like your idea Lee Gyuntak regarding to the gory story "Leviathan" on how the world got into a post-apocalyptic setting because of a comet which flooded the earth and mutated the sea creatures and Noh Miyoung's capture regarding to the artwork which was phenomenal on how menacing each unique mutated monster and character design. The story has been a thrilling journey, filled with horror, violence and survival which captured most of its readers on how unique the vibe of your story telling is and how each arc resonates with each other because of the desperate struggle for survival among harpooners and civilians.  The one thing I've always wanted as for you Lee Gyuntak to collaborate with Noh Miyoung to create a Sequel on "Leviathan" about how Bota and Lita, the dynamic sibli...

“Bella Hadid: Beauty,  Boldness, and Beyond” Source: Vogue     https://share.google/5RYmThFtp8tLQbbz0 B ella Hadid has become one of the most talked-about names in fashion, but her story is about more than glamorous runways and magazine covers. She’s built a career that feels real and human, even in an industry often known for being distant and polished.

W hat makes Bella stand out is not just her looks, but her honesty. She has spoken openly about her battles with anxiety, depression, and living with Lyme disease.

Why The Phantom Captivates Me More Than Any Other Character

    When it comes to unforgettable literary characters, none have haunted me quite like Erik, better known as the Phantom of the Opera. First introduced by Gaston Leroux in his 1910 novel, the Phantom is more than just a mysterious figure lurking beneath the Paris Opera House. To me, he’s not just a character in a story. He’s a symbol of misunderstood genius, of deep unspoken pain, and a love that burns too brightly to survive.   What makes Erik so unforgettable for me is the intense duality within him. On the surface, he’s a figure of fear, a ghostly presence who haunts the opera house, manipulates performances, and makes chilling demands. But behind that mask is something far more tragic. A man who has spent his entire life hidden away, shunned for something he never chose—his face. Beneath the horror and the myth is a soul that just wants to be seen, to matter, and to be loved. That’s what draws me to him. His deformity may have pushed him into isolation, but his brill...
