As promised, another entry following up :)

Here in Thailand, the coronavirus situation isn’t the worst, but neither is it the best of both worlds.
According to my latest-read news sources, there are 1,245 recorded cases and 6 deaths. Personally, I’d say that the situation where I live isn’t disastrous. We don’t appear to have the classic shortage of toilet paper, but I am however starting to notice a sudden decrease in eggs. Oh well, gotta counterbalance somehow.

This weekend, the residents of Pattaya are strongly recommended to stay on quarantine, otherwise the government seems to be threatening a lockdown. It’s currently just ticked into the early afternoon, and well, what can I say? So far so good. I’ve slashed down the time by studying and reading blogs. My mum and brother had a sudden urge to make cookies, so it looks like I’ve found my next activity for today.

I hope the rest of you are holding on okay. From what I’ve read, it looks like we’re having it easy here. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay hopeful.

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 real 'Bluggles'

Hi, everyone)). I hope you're doing well. This is an entry I was looking forward to writing for a few days now, and finally got down to it.  As we all know, every task that requires any form of effort (which is, in fact, EVERY task) has its own set of difficulties that tags along with it, no matter if we like that or not. So, I wanted to address some of the struggles I, as well as probably some of you, have come across while blogging this far. BUT, I feel like anyone can just sit down and share a few of their difficulties, therefore, I decided to also include the solutions that have worked for me in my attempts to overcome them. Right, let's get to the point :). The struggle:  Loss of motivation to write. As you may have noticed, I haven't been updating my blog as much as I did in my first two weeks of maintaining it, and that is due to the excitement and motivation to do so slowly dying down. Personally, this is one of my least favourite 'side-effects' of absol...

The essential situation

Welcome back)). In this entry I want to get through a few different things, so that I have the chance to drop the topic of the coronavirus for the next few posts. The reason for that being because I’m sure that everyone’s starting to get frustrated about the fact that all that’s currently being discussed in detail is the virus. I, for one, most definitely am. Alright then, let’s start our way through). What’s happening here in Pattaya? Yesterday, I experienced all the pleasures of struggling to unclog a sink. Upon discovering that I lack a necessary liquid, I left the house to go to the store for the first time in three days. Honestly, I can’t say that there was a difference worth noting in the occurrences of the outside world. Yes, there is a bit less traffic then usual, but otherwise, everything seemes very much normal. It was when I arrived at my destination, however, that I began taking notice of the little, almost negligible details. There were a few changes in the rul...
