After the pandemic

Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. As you may have guessed by the title, my aim for this entry is to share with you what I hope to do after the coronavirus subsides enough for things to get back to normal. More or less. Just so I don’t forget, if you have a minute or two to spare, leave a comment about some things you would consider doing yourself. It’d be interesting to see what motivates different people to keep hanging on during this disaster.


1. First of all, I will go visit the local dog shelter. I’ve been there a handful of times, with different friends of mine, so I think that my first visit after the virus should be made alone. You know, for the sake of contrast :)



2. I will definitely meet up with people, especially people I didn’t have the chance to catch up with before the situation started escalating. Of course, I can engage in conversations over text or call, video call, even, however, as you are aware, nothing beats meeting in person.



3. I’ll go to the park. I don’t know if’s its the same around the globe, but here, they’ve closed down any and all public parks. Another thing to comment: have they closed the parks in your country/city?
But yes, my reasoning behind this is simple - I love it at the park and miss the vast exposure to nature.



4. I’ll drive around on motorbikes with people. It doesn’t matter in what manner; whether they’re on the back of my bike, I’m on the back of theirs, or we’re driving alongside one another - I’m perfectly content with anything. I long for the nighttime rides, where you are surrounded by peace and quiet at all sides, as much as I long for the afternoon rides, where we complain about burning our backsides off in the scorching heat. There are so many distinct emotions I associate with riding around, that I greatly miss experiencing.



Alright, I think that concludes my little list. May you have a wonderful day, and may I have a few more comments underneath my entries. If not under this one, then under one I compose in the future. Stay safe, everyone :)

    When lockdown will over first I'll go on a long drive with my friends. And then I'll prepare for my exams.😁

    Hi there! I think your plans are really great! Especially meeting people that you didn't spend time together a lot before. I think it's really important.
    Me personally I will also go to the park and go to the gym to workout! (even though I know I can workout at home but the gym motivates me more); I will also meet up with friends and maybe if they open the borders I might travel. Might. 😆

    Well my plan was to read and stuff but it can sometimes be overwhelming and monotonous at the same time. For now, I'm just going with the flow, if I like something, I'll do it but having to come up with things to do on your own can really be exhausting. Self-imposed imperatives sucks.

What is Songkran?

Songkran is the Thai New Year’s National holiday. It is usually celebrated between the 13th - 15th of April. Not only is it a nationwide celebration in Thailand (where I currently live), but it is also celebrated in many other parts of South Asia, like Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Religious rituals, such as paying respect to parents and teachers by pouring water over their hands are performed, alongside others which I unfortunately do not have enough insight into. People, both locals and foreigners alike, dress in colorful floral shirts and roam about the streets either throwing water, targeting each other with water guns, putting watered-down powder onto each other’s faces, or trying their very best to escape from all the craze, which, I must say, is borderline impossible. I have participated in the celebrations for many years now, and I think that it’s great fun, especially if you have a friend or two by your side. Last year, a friend of mine and I came b...

Happy Songkran!

Hello, welcome back)). Let's breifly summarise the weekend, shall we? :) On Saturday morning I wokeup with very sore legs, which was the expected result of a 1,000 suqat challenge I impulsively decided to do on Friday evening. Yes, you read that right, 1,000 squats, which absolutely destroyed me. Needless to say, I have been forced to make quite the effort to wobble around for the past three days. I baked some nice cookies on Saturday, which got a very good laugh from one specific person who claimed they looked like horse droppings. See for yourself, and let me know if you agree with the opinion: Sunday was they day I attempted (key word here) to make homemade ice-cream. It ended up having a consistency of frozen chocolate mousse, so I wouldn't say it was a complete (another key word) fail. Here's a quick snap I took: Sunday was also the day I was given some lovely chocolates. I've been intermittently eyeing the pack for the entire day today and re...

Read of the week (#1)

Welcome to the first part of this segment I decided to create)). I decided that every week I will recommend you a short story which I found interesting, since I tend to read a lot of those. This week's 'Story of the week', if you wish, is 'When It Happens ' by Margaret Atwood. The story is written in a third-person narrative, and follows a fifty-one-year-old lady called Mrs. Burridge. Mrs. Burridge has a very fatalistic outlook on life and imagines, in astonishing detail, situations that she thinks are bound to happen sooner or later. She is a practical and realistic character, and thinks through every imaginable aspect of her future predications. One of these apocalyptic-like situations is described in the story. I won't go into any more detail to in order avoid spoiling the best bits, but I have to mention that there is a nice little plot twist at the end of the story :) So guys, if you have time, give this one of the many Atwood's masterpi...
