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?

    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...

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...

Right off the bat, I’d like to dedicate this blog to anyone and everyone who’s ever wished to have a blog, but instead possessed absolutely no idea of where to start. What a wonderful gift, am I right? I hope that my personal little step towards something bigger has the power of lighting up a speck of inspiration in you; even if it may only be the tiniest one. Don’t worry, I will make sure to tune it down on the cheesy stuff). ‘My Bluggles’ (the title of this blog) is a chopped down version for ‘My Blogging Struggles’ (very creative indeed), which, I think, speaks very well for itself. And if it doesn’t, then the rest of the words on this blog should. Oh, right. How could I forget? A very warm welcome to my lovely blog)). Here, you will have all kinds of insights into my life, be greeted with something different at each entry (I mean, fingers crossed, right?), and most importantly (in my opinion, at least), be exposed to all the possible forms of sarcasm, hot out of the oven. Care...
