Many Happy Returns

Hello :). Goodness, I've disappeared again. This time, however, my disappearance was rather eventful. 



Over the past few weeks, a couple of significant to me events have taken place. First and foremost, three of my lovely friends and I have finally returned to volunteer at our local dog shelter. This specific shelter holds value to me, and this is why it was on the top of my list of things I made that I wanted to do after the pandemic was more or less over ( https://mybluggles.blogspot.com/2020/ 03 / after-pandemic.html)


Another fulfilling thing I did just yesterday was paying a visit to one of my local charities. Despite having to take an enormous detour due to road works, I had a very enjoyable time helping pack bags of food to give to the hungry around the city. I am planning to write a post specifically dedicated to this amazing charity some time in the near future, since I will be paying them an ample amount of visits :).

The image is actually completely unrelated, but these are bracelets my friend, Morgane, made us :)


On the more adventurous side, a good friend of mine and I went on a small driving exploration at 6 o'clock in the morning (which I got up at 4:30 am for). This mini adventure of ours made me, for the first time in a long while, truly appreciate the beauty and placidity of undisturbed nature.


Aside from that, I got myself a small job of driving a kid to school and a wonderful guy to the gym. In fact, today is the day I get my first monthly pay for driving the kiddo :).

Overall, trying to summarize all the events that took place over the past while made me realize  how much I enjoy writing these posts and how much better it is to write regularly but in full detail, rather than once in a while with the details narrowed down. So, my dear readers, this is what I will be aiming to do. Let's see how it goes :)

Another random one for you :) 😂

What have you been up to in the past few weeks? I'd absolutely love to know).

    Haha hello! Nice to see you again!

    All of that sounds so fun. Plus, you're helping to make a difference in the world. Good for you :3

    I had school and such these past few weeks, and more school after😂 For now I am having a semi-long break, dreading the Science homework assigned to us. I did however pet some very fluffy sheep before school started and ate a bunch of scones for breakfast, so that's nice! I wish I can say it was as eventful as yours. It really wasn't.

    The last sign was hilarious, and welcome back! Lovely post💕

      Thank you for your lovely comment))💕

      I have to admit, I am a little envious of you petting the sheep. Especially since, like you said, they happened to have been very fully).

      I randomly stumbled across that sign while "trespassing" into a resort near my house. There were many more signs of that sort there :)

    Hi! It's... been a long time, since you've been here. I know there's close to nil chances of you reading this, but I thought I should leave a comment here anyway. First off, I hope the last 2 years have treated you well.

    I.. often visit this blog, every 2 months or so, to check if you ever popped back, but, well, as evidenced by this blog, this was the last time you were 'round these parts.

    As for why I'm dropping off this comment- it was mainly to thank you. You, of course, probably don't remember this, but about.. 2~3 years ago, you commented twice on a random blog I was writing- not regular in any regard, and not even well written in any way, shape, or form. It was a random mess of whatever my 15 year old mind wanted to put out on the internet.

    However, even though I never had the courage to respond to those 2 comments, they'd made my entire week when you'd posted them. Now, well, I thought I should at least express my gratitude, in some way, to the complete stranger who went out of her way to comment on a random blog and express her support.

    So, thank you. It meant a lot, and, somehow, has stuck with me over the years. I hope you have a good one, wherever, or however you are right now.

What is Songkran?

Songkran is the Thai New Year’s National holiday. It is usually celebrated between the 13th - 15th of April. Not only is it a nationwide celebration in Thailand (where I currently live), but it is also celebrated in many other parts of South Asia, like Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Religious rituals, such as paying respect to parents and teachers by pouring water over their hands are performed, alongside others which I unfortunately do not have enough insight into. People, both locals and foreigners alike, dress in colorful floral shirts and roam about the streets either throwing water, targeting each other with water guns, putting watered-down powder onto each other’s faces, or trying their very best to escape from all the craze, which, I must say, is borderline impossible. I have participated in the celebrations for many years now, and I think that it’s great fun, especially if you have a friend or two by your side. Last year, a friend of mine and I came b...

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...

Read of the week (#1)

Welcome to the first part of this segment I decided to create)). I decided that every week I will recommend you a short story which I found interesting, since I tend to read a lot of those. This week's 'Story of the week', if you wish, is 'When It Happens ' by Margaret Atwood. The story is written in a third-person narrative, and follows a fifty-one-year-old lady called Mrs. Burridge. Mrs. Burridge has a very fatalistic outlook on life and imagines, in astonishing detail, situations that she thinks are bound to happen sooner or later. She is a practical and realistic character, and thinks through every imaginable aspect of her future predications. One of these apocalyptic-like situations is described in the story. I won't go into any more detail to in order avoid spoiling the best bits, but I have to mention that there is a nice little plot twist at the end of the story :) So guys, if you have time, give this one of the many Atwood's masterpi...
