Worlds yet to Explore

Reading to me has also being a gateway into something beyond reality. When everything seems bleak around me picking up a book and turning those few pages makes everything fascinating again.

I love reading all kinds of books mysteries and thrillers in particular. But, the genre I have come to appreciate the most is “Magical Realism”. I enjoy the possibility of the existence of magic in the real world. I fantasize of being in a world where I could have magic too.

I have read most of the popular book series during the start of the bibliophile part of my life. But the most surprising one for me was the series “Dark Visions Trilogy” it may have been an older series but I simply loved it. Even today, I love to go back and read them when I get the chance.

When I am asked what I want to read the only answer I have to that is “If it’s a book that would disconnect me from the boring reality called life, I will read it!”.

Sweet and Spice

I have noticed that my snack menu is always dependent on how I feel in the moment that I am hungry.

When I am happy or in a good mood I always crave for something spicy. Barbecue flavored chips and nachos top the list. But if it is something that I can make it would be tteokbokki or fried chicken. Oh no! I seem to have forgotten the most loved snack of all time. French fries!!

When I am going through my mood swings I usually end up craving something sweet. The one sweet thing that I have been able to maintain my love for is ice cream. I love vanilla with a little bit of chocolate sauce. And to those who have an amazing palette and love finer flavors please do not come at me. I have learnt that complex flavors seem to confuse me.

Regardless of my feelings I think I love snacking more when I am with friends. It’s a wonder the amount of food we can chew down when we have gossip to share or discussion on how we could make the world right. 😁

Sky is the Limit

Come up with a crazy business idea.

Crazy ideas.. I had more of those when I was younger. When I lived in a world of possibilities anything was possible. It makes me sad to think that as people grow older they stop believing in the possibility of the impossible.

I may not have a business idea as such but I did want to be able to manufacture the ozone layer to protect the penguins home. The thought of icebergs melting and them loosing their homes actually makes me sad. They are so cute, especially when they are small.

I would also like to make a device that could give you a warning sign when you are getting emotionally vulnerable and automatically book you for a tailor made de-stressing plan. It could be a road trip, day at the spa, counselling sessions, call with loved ones… I know that some may probably consider this as lame. But, I guess that is okay. I know for sure that would be something that I would need at least weekly.

Oh and of course a time traveling machine. Who would not want that. Though, I would not to want to change the past rather I would want to be a silent observer. I am a total mystery buff and the many mysteries through out history is something that always keeps me awake. However, I would not want it to travel to the future. I like the mystery of the future. You know unknown possibilities and what not. 😊

Together everything is better

With working parents we didn’t always have the whole family together. But the one thing that we always did together was putting up the Christmas tree. We stayed up on December 1st every year and decorated the whole house for Christmas. Both my parents no matter how tired we they were from their long hours of work they stayed up with us.

Every year we tried changing up the way we decorated and came up with new ideas on how to do it. We have made a nativity set out of clay, decorations for the tree using eggshells of the Christmas Cake, stars out of thermocol… and so many other things. It was not always aesthetically pleasing but my parents appreciated with so much love.

True, we may not have had a lot of time with the whole family around but we did not miss out on anything. And I guess though not a family tradition when all of us were together we had happy times and that was what mattered.

Organized Clutter

When we hear the word clutter the first thing that comes to our mind is the word mess or junk.

Considering that I can be somewhat of a hoarder, I have come to realise that not all clutters are bad. What seems like a clutter to others could be a specific organised structure that only my brain can process.

Given that, I do know when to draw a line and embark on a process of decluttering time and again. After which, I end up trashing out things that have completed it’s life expectancy and gifting those that I believe could be of much worth to the next person rather than have it around gathering dust.

Things aside the biggest decluttering I do is when I realise that I am in a bad situation. At the end of it, I throw away all the toxic people and problems that don’t deserve eating any more of my peace of mind.

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Bombs and Guns

I have no profound reasoning behind this. I just hate the power they hold to take away life. I know there are other things people can use to take life but I feel using bombs and guns just made it easy.

The reason why they use it could be harm or to protect but even the most cruel person his life was made by God. We were beautifully and carefully made.

I don’t know if people would consider me naive or foolish. But I hope for a world that we would never have to use these things again. I hope for world where people don’t have any ill intentions to another person. I hope for a world ruled my love.

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

Life!

I have an extremely negative outlook towards my life. I can complain about everything that happens to me. Got stuck in the rain.. life is horrible. Sprained my ankle.. life is horrible. Met someone with a bad attitude.. life is horrible.

There are many things that happen for which we can do nothing but it takes great strength to acknowledge that it mat not be all bad. Life is horrible when we hold on to hurt and then it’s like a cascading effect. Everything that follows the hurt makes us feel that the life we have is just not worth living.

I try reminding myself that some days just don’t work out but I need to hold out hope that out of the 100 days of pain I will have my one day of joy. And for now that is enough for me to keeping on fighting.

Miscommunication

Now this is a question I certainly should not answer.

Communication of any sort has been a problem for me. What I mean and what I actually say always end up being different. Funny thing is when I take a step back and rethink I understand why people react the way they do the first time around. I noticed that the best form of communication I have is when my words usually swirl in my mind and then onto paper.

Considering that, you would think I love writing emails, or posting on social media. However, it is not the case. Guess I like talking to myself most of the time. πŸ™‚

This year around, I have started to make a change. I now have started with my blog (more like continued) and soon the many videos and tutorials are going to start showing up in my prospective YouTube channel. Fingers crossed. Here’s to adopting change!

Too Many Choices

Favorite Animal now that is something I don’t think I can ever give a definitive answer too. As a Dog owner, dogs definitely tops the list.

I also love dolphins. Asides from the fact that they are incredibly smart and cute. I feel like they smile and are generally happy animals. Every picture I see it looks like they are smiling.

Among insects, I love butterflies. Not because of the fact that they are pretty and bright in most cases. But because when I think of them I think that they are free. Soaring the skies with such delicate wings and they also make me happy. They may have short lives but still bring smiles to a lot of faces in their lifetime.

And considering I am a dreamer, I have to say Pegasus. The thought of going up in the clouds and feeling the cold air and the warm sun. I think that would be such an amazing experience.

However, I think most baby animals are cute. So picking up just one favorite it would be extremely difficult. There can only be a list of favorite animals choosing one is a crime.

Multitasker or a Procrastinator?

I am still not sure what I am. I always do two things at the same time one of which would always be either listening to music or watching (more like listening) to TV series. When it’s leisure time I combine that with either writing, drawing or hand lettering.

Its’s kind of ironical, I think what I like doing best is doing nothing. But even when I am doing nothing I always have some video playing. Does that mean I spend my time watching videos or that I enjoy it just procrastinating?

Come to think of it, I just enjoying spending time with myself during my leisure time. It does not matter what I am doing as long as I am in my world of imagination.

Side Note, day dreaming also is an essential part of my alone time :).
