Titled Untitled (#2)

Hi, everyone)). How are you? :) My apologies for not writing for a few days. Good news is, a few things have accumulated over this little break, which I can tell you all about now)).

First of all, I'm like to address the missing 'Read of the week'. Last week I focused on reading novels, and didn't think I had a good enough short story to share with you. This week, however, look out for a nice short story).

Next up is the weather. Remember how I got quite excited about the rainy season having finally started? Well, the weather decided to pull our leg, and instead of there being rain, it now seems like it was even hotter than in was before. I am quite disappointed about that, although I know that sooner or later the rainy season will eventually come around.

A pretty photo I took of the sunset the other day :)

I've been trying my best to keep active and either go for a run or do sets of exercises and stretches at home, and I'm happy to report that that's been working out quite well for me. Today I went running with a good friend who lives nearby, and we had a little disaster in the middle of our run. It turns out the police have not not only closed down the beaches, but also the pathways next to them which I had the majority of my runs on. This means that I'll have to figure out where I can run from today onwards, and frankly, there aren't many options left :(.




For the past week or so, I've been reading a chapter a day of this amazing book called 'The Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius. It is such an incredible book, and I have a strong feeling that it'll be life-changing for me once I'm done, which will happen very soon, since I only have one chapter to go)).

Do you have any recommendations as to what book/novel I can read next? Please leave them in the comments if you do :)

    Those pictures you took are so pretty! And good luck on finding a new route-- that must've sucked :(

    And I have a recommendation! How about Newt's Emerald by Garth Nix? It's set wayy back, about a royal girl pretending to be a guy to find the royal hairloom (Newt's Emerald). The ones that's supposed to do find it is her brother or.. cousin? I can't quite remember. This is interesting to me since back then girls didn't have much power, that's why the guys had to do the investigating.

    There's a hint of romance in it that made my dumb romantic heart throb so like if you're into that :'))

      That sounds quite interesting. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of romance, but I'm all for widening the circle of genres I read :)

    Love these little update posts!

    I really recommend The Book Thief if you haven't read it already- it's one of my favourites!

      Read that one). An amazingly powerful novel. I actually cried on the bus while reading one rather emotional part. Definitely one of my favourites too :)

The essential situation

Welcome back)). In this entry I want to get through a few different things, so that I have the chance to drop the topic of the coronavirus for the next few posts. The reason for that being because I’m sure that everyone’s starting to get frustrated about the fact that all that’s currently being discussed in detail is the virus. I, for one, most definitely am. Alright then, let’s start our way through). What’s happening here in Pattaya? Yesterday, I experienced all the pleasures of struggling to unclog a sink. Upon discovering that I lack a necessary liquid, I left the house to go to the store for the first time in three days. Honestly, I can’t say that there was a difference worth noting in the occurrences of the outside world. Yes, there is a bit less traffic then usual, but otherwise, everything seemes very much normal. It was when I arrived at my destination, however, that I began taking notice of the little, almost negligible details. There were a few changes in the rul...

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...

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...
