Day 2 and Rambling Like I always say every turn of the month, "I have no goal for the new month". And as you can see, as well, I started the month missing one day - the very first day. I kept telling myself, "I will write later" but later really extended to that time I got shocked that the clock face says it is past 1am, April 2. So if I am going to do a table of the days I have written and the days I have not, it would be like this: April 1 - to make up for April 2 - as of…
@Olasquare thank you so much !!! I saw what you did haha 🤣 you have a great day ahead!
Coexist: A Universal Orchestra Piece Life is a melody. Or a music piece that everyday gets composed and produced. Each life story, an orchestra instrument playing its notes adding to the mood of the tune. At the moment, I hear the workers in that huge building rhythmically hammering on, well, I'd guess some concrete or solid wood. Like most music, some appeals to us and some don't. I hear the dripping of our faucet also following a rhythmic measure. The whirring of the fan…
I can't feel my legs Crrraaackk! That's what she heard as she slowly lifted her legs to rest it on the center table of her quiet living room while seated on her sofa right in front of the television. She managed to turn the wall fan on before she took a sit so that is her source of coolness saving her from sweating on this really hot, humid summer night. She had a long, fruitful day. She decides to tag it as that: fruitful. Even though she just did a few normal weekend…
One Quick Serving Just a quick one. On top of your head. WHAT ARE TWO THINGS YOU THINK YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AGAIN? If two things are too much, I'm fine with just one. It can be serious and it can also not be serious. Heck, throw us something hilarious so we can break the serious mood on a Monday, right? I was reviewing how my Monday went. It was not so bad, really. It was one of those days that I thought will end super tiring because of work and that I will no longer be in…
Word Prompt; Photo Prompt Who else here is having mixed emotions about today's mad rainy day? As I am typing, as though to further emphasize its presence, the falling rain slowly grows into a crescendo - a real down pour. Normally, I would be consulting Windy App if we have some sort of storm coming in. Or some mad disturbance in the pacific. But tonight or today I will let this crazy weather just be. After all the glitches we've been having why should this be surprising me…
Stories Around **Every second the clock ticks a story happens simultaneously all over the world - the unseen included. Stories both real or imagined.** At the moment, some silly dog is barking at something he sees as interesting. The thing he is barking at has their own story. Like say a cat.... Meowster, the black cat, readies herself. Camouflaged by her black coat into the dark street, she places herself like a lion ready to pounce. She has been spying the critter every…
So ... My turn to skip a day lols. So much for trying to keep the articles going. I did try though. I normally just sit and wait for anything to write about. But tonight, though ideas were there, tiny brain cells unanimously say, "park it! And go click that button for another round of Rank Game"... So there I spent the rest of my evening.. watching a series which did trigger some ideas but from time to time pausing because I was also playing Mobile Legends. I guess that's…
Sunday Blabber At the moment of writing, it's 11:11. Feels like a lazada or shoppee sale but it is not. Just making an initial time start record. I am not yet putting myself in a timed challenge but would like to know what time I will be ending my endless ramblings. There are a lot of topics to choose from that I wanted to write for this week. Specially it is the holy week. There's How is the holy week celebrated and observed in different countried What is palm Sunday to me?…
The Travelling Flip Flops "Just over the weekend." That is what we usually look forward to every end of the week. Something to do on a weekend or somewhere to go to just over the weekend. That usually involve either of the two things : Travelling (somewhere to go to) Playing badminton (something to do) Back then, we reserved weekends for badminton. With lots of energy then and not yet feeling the wear and tear we can stay playing all day. Originally, there were four (4) of…
Go Down This Road With Me? Some musings led me to find this prompt. Some events also led me to try even though I know it will be hard. *If you were to revisit that first Palm Sunday, tell me what do you see?* I am extending to up to that time He was hung on the cross. I opened my eyes slowly. There was a commotion outside. I got up immediately to see what the fuss is all about. There I see in the far part of the entrance to the city, people are flocking in to the road. They…
Swirl of a Story I am not yet ready to be working but I only have few minutes left. I am watching the swirl of steam from my hot cup of morning joe - second cup of coffee. And as I watch, stories of what ifs and should-be and should-have-beens, the steam plays with my thoughts coming from the semi rants of my own after finishing my breakfast. So might as well earn from these weird thoughts, eh? What better way to do that than cooking up a story. Story that was triggered by…
Channel Surfing : Passive Listening I did not have Netflix for three days. Technically four. But I did have a tv in my room which I turn on just to have some added noise while I work. There is something about televisions. If they are in front of me and not turned on, I turn them on even though I am not paying attention to what it's showing. In our place in Manila, we have a television but we do not have cable channels nor do we have local channels. Since most of us are busy…
Cheers to Lives of Friends I find myself smiling every once in a while today since last night after a zoom call with friends. These friends were not just friends friends but we've shared our lives deeply. One friend opted to honor, Erica through our zoom meet. This was just the second time we had a zoom meet during the pandemic. We celebrated the life of our friend, let's put in a name, Erica. She will be celebrating her thirty something birthday in few days time. We've been…
Thoughts to Words: a sloppy workflow She is staring at the title space. It shows "Add a title...". Pretty much like this one below. She is fighting off sleep. And like most time when she is fighting off sleep, she tests her wakefulness, imagination-thoughts-thumb coordination in making up whatever. "Thumb" because she is using her phone. Lately, she found the most dangerous random prompt generator a really friendly tool for her. It gives her really fun random prompts that…
Strange Cravings This work from home added a new item in my daily routine. I am trying to ignore it. But instead of doing that maybe I should earn from it. Haha. Warning hunger trigger ahead. Like clockwork, The routine goes like this: waking time I wake up at 8am. Yes, I may have half-sleeping-noise-posted around before that. But my real get up off the bed time is 8am. At times, I can do without breakfast because from 8am time seems to fly. I wake up at 8, stand up and do a…
Page Flip I squinted at the bright sun as it slowly dips into the horizon. It was beautiful. Ain't it amazing that we can watch the sun set every single day and still find it magnificently breathtaking each time? How many of us breaths a sigh of relief, content or gratefulness everytime we see this golden thing go down and revel even more when it puts on an after the dip show? It lights up the sky with even more beautiful colors for few more minutes even though it is already…
Har.. har har har! This is a story of Nena. Nena is a free-spirited, gentle woman who takes things as it comes and one who never really fuss about the small things and the big things of tomorrow. She takes things a day at a time. Breathing in every sunrise and breathing out every sunset and every day is a new story to live in and "give your all" so she says. Though that may sound like a lot of pressure in a day and tiring to some, Nena managed to think of days when you do…
10,000 steps watching people ..and absorbing random stories. Ofcourse, I am not serious with 10,000 steps. Checking on my watch, it says 4,000 steps. I still have a lot of steps to take but I am taking a bench break and enjoying watching people (also typing this and glancing up every once in a while). The idea of "10,000 steps" rooted from a challenge plus leisure to myself. Since we are going back to our offices and a little more regular in the months to come, I can and…
No Sense of Time Time check... My eyes started looking for a clock. The television is on and I was hoping to get the proper time check there unfortunately this CNN I am watching is broadcasting live but from the other side of the world. It says 3:22 pm in Washingon. Silly me. I am using my phone as I am typing this and I have the time right there in the upper left corner! Apparently the time difference between Washington and Philippines is roughly 12 hours. Feel free to…
No Juice Today Thanks to yesterday! I have no energy to carry out Sunday. Haha. What was *your* plan? *****The Plan***** I messaged my best bud yesterday. I told her I plan to go face to face service finally supposedly today. Then go shopping a bit after since I am already out. I was going to ask her if she would like to meet up after and catch up on some stuff. Then I realized I have a support work around midnight so that plan will depend on whether I get to wake up early…
Methinks.... Noise is having a glitch
Shake for Questions How many times have I said I love Google? Just type in anything, et voila. You have something to write about. What did I type in this time? Well, I have been thinking about the magic 8-ball for some twenty minutes now while I am waiting for whatever I am running to end so I can make a report and finally get off my work chair and continue with my "Happiness" series. There was this toy invented in the late 1940s to early 1950s. But I only got to see it back…
Happy with Happiness You know you are watching or have watched a good film when even after it is done, you still feel like the real here and now is part of that movie. One of those days that I was looking for anything to watch in Netflix, I landed with "Happiness". I was intrigued that one with harmless and seemingly light title can be about zombies. I further got intrigued when the genre flashing on the top left said, "violence", "substance", and "suicide". How could that…
Of Capes, Tights and Superpowers ***Back in the day, some ten or twenty years ago, I was a heroine.*** Yes. Yes. They say heroes do not always wear capes but when I do turn into the super heroine, I felt like I was wearing a cape. But unlike the super heroes we know with super powers and everything, I was not one like super heroine who "saves the day". I do not save the day. Matter of fact I do not save anyone ***let alone myself.*** There is, after all, an alternate reality…

Uhmm.. Eggs? What is the first food you learned to cook? The first thing that comes to mind would always be fried eggs. Sunny side up to be precise. Next to that would be scrambled eggs. Both the easiest go-to for a quick grumbling tummy fix. Something you can fix up and eat with rice or bread or none in no time. I always prefer rice with them. Growing up, my brother liked hard-boiled eggs and then soft-boiled eggs. I prefer my eggs already out of their shells but between…
