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.

    It's so interesting to read your perspective from Thailand!

    Keep safe!

Some Positive Occurrences

Hello, welcome back :)). And of course, May the 4th be with you! :) I think this post is pretty self-explanatory; I'll be listing down some of the pleasant stuff that has taken place lately)). 1.)  I've reached a pretty decent, and somewhat unprecedented new height at baking. Or to put it simpler, I decided to challenge myself and have managed to make some nice croissants from scratch. I would have never thought that I'd be able to add this onto my list of things that I occasionally ever so slightly brag about, but here we are :). 2.)  I have FINALLY , and I will emphasise this further, FINALLY  read 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. For years it has been THE book almost everyone automatically assumed I had read (since I enjoy my classics), and I had to go through the embarrassment of admitting that I hadn't. Honestly, I think this is the accomplishment on this list that I am most proud of. For anyone who hasn't read the book, I really recommend it. ...

A Trip to Koh Larn

Originally, I was planning to call this post 'The Invasion of Koh Larn', but I decided to have mercy on the FBI agent who was assigned to keep an eye on me through my laptop camera. Right, so Koh Larn is one of the many islands just off the shore of mainland Thailand, which, depending where in Thailand you are, you can visit via a quick boat, ferry (or sometimes plane) ride. And that's exactly what a friend of mine and I did just the day before yesterday (Thursday, 18th). I would say the idea was more or less spontaneuos and we brought it into reality rather swiftly. The only thing we were worried about before setting off was THE RAIN. I remember mentioning in one of my prior blogs that we have officially entered the rainy season, so for a while now it was been raining on a very regular basis (just about every day, multiple times a day). Luckily, the universe decided to be on our side on Thursday, and after a small drizzle in the morning, spared the bad weather of...

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...
