Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. Whichever one of the three it may be for you. For us here in Thailand it is currently a good morning).

In this entry, my main focus will be to some extent introduce myself to you. Since my aim here is to create a friendly, informal space, we’ll set up a cheery, first name basis. In other words, I’m Ksenia). Although, the ‘K’ is pronounced in Russian, I prefer it to be left silent in English, as everyone I know whom I communicate with in English, all call me Senia. It’s almost as if it’s a nice nickname everyone calls me, really. For the time being, I’ve chosen to refrain from disclosing my age, since I find that age often provokes bias, and trust me, we don’t want that. My age shall be whatever you chose it to be. Almost like you’re creating your own character here, eh? As tacitly inferred earlier, I’m a Russian who’s resided in Pattaya, Thailand for a large chunk of my life (just about 10 years now). I see Pattaya as a home, as this is the place I grew up in, a place I feel most welcome at, and a place I long for every time I depart from it.

Alright, looks like our very brief introduction’s completed! I am going to get on with my day, and hopefully be back in a few hours to write an entry about...the coronavirus! How very exciting? But I mean, what better is there to discuss at this very moment, when the whole world seems to be plummeting into an imminent apocalypse?

  1. I love your writing style, Ksenia! It feels like we're just having a conversation :)

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...

All about the doggies

Hello, dear readers)). I hope everyone's doing okay. This long awaited (by me) entry is going to be about the dog shelter I mentioned in one of my previous posts: https://mybluggles.blogspot.com/2020/03/after-pandemic.html?m=1 First of all, I'd like to point out the fact that I'm afraid of dogs. People don't believe me when I tell them (especially since I tend to go about petting every single doggie in my sight), but I can assure you I am. Trust me on this. Regardless of that unhandy fear, I have spent the past few months paying visits to volunteer at a dog shelter in my city. I first found out about the shelter when a good friend of mine offered to take me there with her for a day of volunteering. I agreed without any hesitation, because the idea appealed to me quite a bit. Now, I was warned that it would be noisy at the shelter, but no warning could have prepared me for the amount of noise you experience every time you set foot inside. To give you a slightly bet...

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. ...
