The Silence

In my opinion, the biggest change that has occurred in the area where I live is the settling in of silence. Where before my mum would threaten to throw the fridge down on the music-loving neighbours in small cluster of houses below, now there is no one left to torment us. There are no longer lights in the windows of the nearby condos and hotels, and no tasteless music blaring from the night market. Just darkness, silence, and serenity; peaceful, yet frightening. Frightening in the aspect of it being so unfamiliar.





On the slightly more cheery note, I made cookies today :). I'll drop in a photo below, because not only did they lookgreat, but they once again turned out delicious. Perhaps sometime in the near future I'll share the recipe I use to make them with you. That's a little something to look forward to, I think).



Productivity wise, I completed the first chapter in my Psychology coursebook today. Not that great of an achievement, but I think it marks the start of the net two years of torture :). Are any of you taking/have taken A-Levels?

Today's update proved itself to berather brief, so hopefully tomorrow's one is able to compensate for the lack of detail here. I hope everyone's holding on okay. Keep occupying yourself with things to do, even if they are the simplest of things like sweeping the floor or rearranging your desk. I think right now the biggest challenge for everyone is to keep ourselves busy, and our minds in places other than the unfortunate situation. I think my question for you today should be: What is it that you would like to see on my blog?

    What cookies are those? They're so cute and, pardon if this seems a bit rude, odd looking. I've never seen cookies like that before. Looks kinda like bread👀

    I have no specific thing I want to see on your blog, though I love reading your entries. It's a great way to pass the time.

    Honestly, I don't know what cookies they are. The most normal ones you can make, probably. Surprisingly, you're not the only one who made the comment about them looking like bread😂.

    Thank you for the feedback. I love the story you're creating on your blog too :))

      Thanks for the comment). It makes me happy knowing that other people have been/are homeschooled too. The smily face on the cookies are the peak of my creativity, I have to admit😂

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...

Running with a face mask

Good morning; good afternoon; good evening. I hope you have/had a wonderful day :)). This evening I dragged myself out of the house to go for a nice run. Unfortunately, it is now illegal to leave your house without a face mask on, so I had to go running in mine. Being a forgetful idiot, I forgot to get a picture of it before I chucked it into the washing machine, so my bad :| Running with a face mask on really isn’t great. The first and biggest issue is that the mask restricts your breathing making it harder to keep in steady. Yes, that may be good for cardio, but I would rather prefer to breathe normally, thank you very much. Secondly, your face sweats a lot underneath the mask. Not only that, but to make matters worse, my mask was also drenched in sweat by the time I was done with my run. And lastly, for me personally, it was quite difficult to catch my breath after I finished the run. It took me a few minutes, and eventually I had to retreat to taking the mask off. The only po...
