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...

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...

Happy Songkran!

Hello, welcome back)). Let's breifly summarise the weekend, shall we? :) On Saturday morning I wokeup with very sore legs, which was the expected result of a 1,000 suqat challenge I impulsively decided to do on Friday evening. Yes, you read that right, 1,000 squats, which absolutely destroyed me. Needless to say, I have been forced to make quite the effort to wobble around for the past three days. I baked some nice cookies on Saturday, which got a very good laugh from one specific person who claimed they looked like horse droppings. See for yourself, and let me know if you agree with the opinion: Sunday was they day I attempted (key word here) to make homemade ice-cream. It ended up having a consistency of frozen chocolate mousse, so I wouldn't say it was a complete (another key word) fail. Here's a quick snap I took: Sunday was also the day I was given some lovely chocolates. I've been intermittently eyeing the pack for the entire day today and re...
