Celebrating my birthday has never been a thought to me because it always coincided with exam days, all throughout my schooling years. The most I was only ever able to celebrate it was going to an anime convention yearly that's date was usually a week after my birthday and a week after exams finish so I hope on your birthdays, you guys make the most of it! Specially @FerferClear who's celebrating her birthday today. I wish you have a very good day today

It's almost been 2 months since I've joined this platform as a user. I've met amazing friends and such interesting people. I've improved in ways I never would have imagined. From my arts to my writing skills and my creativity. And so far, I truly hope that this platform continues to grow and keep growing so as to show BCH adaption to more people like me who were completely unaware of what it was until I came to read about it through articles posted here. I can, without a…

Playing with ink pt. 2 Originally I was trying to make a sketch of my man because I found peach highlighters in my pencil case but since drying the ink from highlighters take much longer than regular ink.. I went ahead and played with the ink while the other piece dried. I didn't find the need to take a snap of the first layer of ink, which was basically just water. I've mentioned before how ink is added to water drop by drop so you really start with the lightest of shades…

Chemistry for the day: The brain loves sugar First, let’s talk about sugars because it’s a general idea that sugar is only the table sugar placed on the table but no, there exists a number of sugars which come from fruits, vegetables, wheat and grains, anything starchy even. Sugar is not necessarily sweet but it actually has a variation in sweetness but regardless of this, we all still love sugar. Especially the human brain, the brain really loves sugar; it consumes almost…

Continuation prompt sample Warning: a very long read So a continuation prompt is basically an exchange between people, kind of like having a group of people write a story together. I used to do this with my friends before but we can't anymore because usually, we require at least one response per day for the prompt to continue or we end it right away. The response varied since it can be a change in POV between the characters or you just simply continue it the way you would…

Chemistry for the day: Gasoline as disinfectants This is really my response to a current local issue where someone thought it was a good idea to use gasoline as disinfectants and even claim that the small remark was not a joke recently.

Chemistry for the day: Chocolate and caffeine poisoning As unbelievable as it is, there is such a thing as chocolate poisoning and it doesn’t just happen to dogs but also in humans. What causes this is the theobromine that’s found in chocolates, teas, sodas and some other foods, but mostly in chocolate since it is chocolate’s main constituent. Cocoa beans already contain a lot of theobromine, and that amount is reduced as it’s processed so luckily, it’s not something to…

Playing with ink pt. 3 I made use of the old printer ink we had at home since it wasn't compatible with the printer we had so my mom let me play with them >w< These are generic printer ink but I think it applies to any colored ink? Same thing with regular ink, I guess. It was safe to start with the lightest dilution but it's hard to see anything though I eventually tried to solidify the color but it seems like it should always be diluted, it's pretty to watch it bleed into…

So from the weekly research I do on the covid situation... it seems that this will be the replacement for the common cold. Based on the stuff I've read, the best chance we have is herd immunity because as much as vaccines of the weakened virus are in development in china (sinovac), there have been studies that show that the spread is slowed because of this herd immunity and it's not such a bad thing, really since the common cold we have now was also a pandemic before

I wanted to be beautiful It shouldn't come as a surprise now to hear a girl say "I wish I was prettier" that even those who already have the looks would seek more.

The same remark was given to one of the girls they would target with bullying too, Sarah. Sarah was never one to enjoy dressing how everyone did. She…

Alchemy: Chemistry's predecessor pt.1 Honestly, I blame the anime I was watching earlier, else I wouldn't be reading this up Alchemy could very well be counted as the earliest form of chemistry, seeing as both disciplines involved the study of matter by analysis, synthesis and transmutation.

Chemistry for the day: Everything is a chemical I am so sorry for this sudden fact drop but I just want to stop the misunderstanding that all chemicals are harmful and that people really should stop mistaking all chemicals for the carcinogens, preservatives or even the toxins that are added to our food products in the form of pesticides, enhancers, seasonings or any form of additive.

Stop ringing! "The phone has really taken over the world and the mind" As stated so bluntly by one of Nick's professors whilst she confiscated yet another buzzing phone in class.

The road to insanity What really defines insanity? Is it the loss of reason? The loss of proper thoughts? Or simply the loss of everything?
