    Hey there, lovely readers!

    Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.

    Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.

    What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.

    1. Slow Internet

    Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.

    Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?

    Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.

    Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?

    2. Telemarketers

    Next up, telemarketers.

    These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.

    The worst part?

    They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.

    “Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.

    3. Overly Loud Chewing

    Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?

    There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.

    It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.

    If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.

    4. Endless Email Chains

    How about those never-ending email chains?

    You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.

    Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.

    Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?

    5. Misbehaving Technology

    Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?

    But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.

    Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”

    6. Slow Walkers

    And then there are the slow walkers.

    You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.

    It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.

    7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date

    Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.

    Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!

    It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.

    Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.

    So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.

    From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.

    But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).

  2. Home Decor Gone Wrong: Laughing Through the Chaos

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    Home decor projects are supposed to transform our spaces into beautiful, cosy sanctuaries.

    But sometimes, even with the best intentions, things go hilariously wrong.

    Let’s dive into some funny stories of home decor mishaps and share tips on how to keep your cool when chaos ensues.

    **1. The DIY Disaster**


    – **Story**: Inspired by a trendy DIY project on Pinterest, you decide to create a stunning accent wall using reclaimed wood.

    Halfway through, you realize you’ve miscalculated the amount of wood needed and now have a patchwork wall that looks more like a jigsaw puzzle than a rustic masterpiece.

    – **Tip**: Measure twice, buy once. Always purchase a little extra material to account for mistakes.

    And remember, imperfections add character!

    **2. The Furniture Fiasco**

    – **Story**: You fall in love with a massive vintage dresser at a flea market.

    Without measuring your space, you buy it, only to find it won’t fit through your front door.

    Now, it’s an unwelcome lawn ornament until you figure out what to do with it.

    – **Tip**: Measure your doorways, hallways, and the intended space before purchasing large furniture.

    If you’re unsure, bring a friend for a second opinion.

    **3. The Paint Panic**

    – **Story**: You decide to freshen up your living room with a bold new paint colour.

    After a few hours of painting, you step back and realize your vibrant choice looks more like a fluorescent nightmare.

    Your living room now resembles a neon sign.

    – **Tip**: Always test paint colors on a small section of the wall first and view them at different times of the day.

    If you make a mistake, don’t panic—paint is relatively easy to fix.

    **4. The Curtain Catastrophe**

    – **Story**: You order beautiful new curtains online, only to find out they’re too short for your windows.

    Instead of elegant drapes, you’ve got awkward high-water curtains that make your windows look like they’re wearing capris.

    – **Tip**: Measure your windows’ height and width before ordering curtains.

    If you’ve already made the mistake, consider adding a coordinating fabric panel at the bottom to lengthen them.

    **5. The Assembly Agony**

    – **Story**: That flat-pack furniture seemed like a bargain until you started assembling it.

    Three hours in, you’re surrounded by an assortment of screws and mysterious parts, and the instructions might as well be in another language.

    – **Tip**: Take your time, follow the instructions step by step, and don’t hesitate to ask for help.

    Sometimes, an extra pair of hands makes all the difference.

    **6. The Rug Riddle**

    – **Story**: You buy a gorgeous area rug online, but when it arrives, it’s way too small for your living room.

    Now, it looks like a tiny island in the middle of your sea of furniture.

    – **Tip**: A rug should be large enough to fit under all major pieces of furniture in a room.

    If you’re in doubt, bigger is usually better.

    **7. The Lighting Lunacy**

    – **Story**: In an effort to brighten up your home, you install new light fixtures.

    But instead of a warm, inviting glow, you get blinding interrogation room lighting.

    Now, every flaw in your decor (and skin) is painfully visible.

    – **Tip**: Choose light bulbs with the right colour temperature for the mood you want to create.

    Warm white (2700K-3000K) is usually best for living spaces.

    **8. The Art Arrangement Anarchy**

    – **Story**: Determined to create a gallery wall, you enthusiastically start hanging frames without a plan.

    The result is a chaotic, uneven mess that looks more like a crime scene than an art display.

    – **Tip**: Lay out your frames on the floor first to plan the arrangement.

    Use a level and painter’s tape to mark the wall before hammering in nails.

    **9. The Plant Predicament**

    – **Story**: You add a touch of green with some houseplants, but within weeks, they’re wilted and sad.

    Turns out, your green thumb is more like a black thumb.

    – **Tip**: Choose plants that suit your home’s lighting conditions and your care abilities.

    Start with low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants.

    **10. The Accessory Overload**

    – **Story**: Eager to decorate, you fill every surface with trinkets and decor pieces.

    Instead of a stylish look, you end up with a cluttered mess that feels more like a flea market than a home.

    – **Tip**: Less is more.

    Choose a few key pieces that you love and let them shine. Regularly edit your decor to avoid overcrowding.

    Embracing the Chaos

    Home decor mishaps are part of the journey to creating a space that truly feels like home.

    Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mistakes, and learn from them.

    Each error is a step closer to your perfect sanctuary.

  3. Superstitious? Me? Pfft… Unless the Universe is Listening.

    Are you superstitious?

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the buttons and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    Am I Superstitious? Let’s Just Say… It’s Complicated.

    This morning, my son and his buddies threw out a dangerous question: “Are you superstitious?”

    Now, logically, I want to say no. I don’t walk around tossing salt over my shoulder or fearing black cats. But if we’re being honest… I also refuse to say things like “Wow, nothing has gone wrong today!” because I know the universe is listening.

    So, am I superstitious? Let’s just say I respect the possibility of unseen forces—but I’m also not afraid to test them.

    Let’s break it down.

    1. The ‘Don’t Jinx It’ Rule (AKA, I’m Not Stupid)

    You ever confidently say something, only for life to immediately slap you in the face?

    🔹 Example: “Ugh, I never get sick.” Boom—suddenly, I’m drowning in tissues and self-pity.
    🔹 Pain Level: 9/10. Because why does the universe have to be so petty?

    ✅ How I Handle It: I knock on wood. Every time. Even if it’s fake. Even if people are watching. If I forget? You best believe I’m mentally whispering “no jinx, no jinx, no jinx” to undo the damage.

    2. The ‘Something Feels Off’ Rule (My Sixth Sense is Real)

    I don’t know if it’s energy, instinct, or just years of experience with people being sketchy, but if something feels wrong, I listen.

    🔹 Example: Walking into a place and feeling an immediate, unexplainable sense of nope.
    🔹 Pain Level: 10/10 if ignored. Because the ONE TIME I brushed it off, I ended up in a situation I never should have been in.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If my gut tells me to leave, I leave. No debating, no justifying. The last thing I need is to become the main character in a bad horror movie.

    3. The ‘Ghosts? Prove Me Wrong’ Rule (I’m Ready for This Fight)

    Unlike most people, I don’t fear ghosts, Ouija boards, or haunted places—I’m fascinated by them. Do I believe in spirits and the paranormal? Not really.

    But am I willing to test it? Hell yes.

    🔹 Example: While some people refuse to step foot in a haunted house, I’m the one saying, “Alright, if something’s here, show yourself.”
    🔹 Pain Level: TBD. But honestly, if a ghost did prove me wrong, I’d be more excited than scared.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If the supernatural wants my attention, it better bring receipts. Until then, I’m keeping my skepticism and my curiosity wide open.

    So, Am I Superstitious?

    Let’s put it this way—I don’t live in fear of bad luck, but I also don’t poke the bear (except when it comes to ghosts, apparently).

    If knocking on wood, trusting my instincts, and challenging the unknown keeps things interesting, then I’m all in.

    Now, tell me—are you superstitious?

    Or are you the type to laugh in the face of fate?

    Drop your thoughts in the comments… but if your luck suddenly changes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

  4. NSFW Ink Dreams: Where Would You Put Yours?

    What tattoo do you want, and where would you put it?

    Some people want a discreet infinity symbol on their ankle.
    Others want angel wings between their shoulder blades.
    Me?

    I want the Joker and Harley Quinn… tangled in sin… on my inner thigh.

    Yes, you read that right. I already have six tattoos—each one a slice of my story—but this?
    This one’s going to be my masterpiece.

    Why settle for basic when your thighs are prime real estate for chaos, colour, and the promise of a little danger?

    Why the Inner Thigh, though?

    Well, darling, that’s easy.

    It’s hidden… until it’s not.

    It’s intimate. Naughty. A secret meant to be earned.

    And every time I cross my legs or shift in bed, I’ll know there’s a beautiful madness resting just beneath my skin.

    The Joker, smirking with toxic charm.
    Harley, wide-eyed, wild, loyal in all the wrong ways.
    The ultimate ride-or-die pair—etched into my flesh, just inches from all the fun.

    Honestly? If you’re going to mark your body forever, make it interesting.
    Make it tell a story… or whisper one between parted thighs.

    More Tattoos. More Mischief. More Me.

    My body is already a canvas of secrets and symbols.

    Not just to look.
    But to wonder.
    To imagine what else might be hiding underneath the lace and leather.

    So, yes—my Joker and Harley thigh piece is still in the works.
    But the rest of my skin? Hungry. Ready. Waiting for the needle to tell another scandalous tale.

  5. My Secret Obsession: Dark Romance Audiobooks & The Voices That Make Me Swoon

    What’s something most people don’t know about you?

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?

    If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”

    That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.

    So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?

    Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).

    My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧

    Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.

    My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.

    There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.

    Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.

    Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.

    If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.

    Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.

    Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.

    Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.

    It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.

    When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.

    What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).

    Everyone loves a good escape.

    Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.

    What This Says About Me (and Chat)

    Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?

    Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.

    For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.

    Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.

    Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?

    Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?

    What’s something about you that people don’t expect?

    Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?

    Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.

  6. Eating from the work of the hand is similar to the prophets

    Every justified sale: What is meant by the justified is that it is free from fraud and betrayal, or that it is accepted in the Shari'ah that it is neither corrupt nor malicious, i.e., it is reproachful, or it is acceptable to Allah to be committed to it.

  7. Campaign Against Camping!

    Have I ever been camping?

    Have I ever been camping?!!

    You’re rootin’ tootin’, I’ve been camping. I’ll tell you – I’ve spent some of the most miserable days and nights of my life under canvas.

    I’m cool with the notion of getting back to nature. I did, after all, spend eighteen years of my working life outdoors, in just about every kind of weather imaginable, when I was working with animals. That part doesn’t faze me at all. It wasn’t pleasant at times, for sure, but I knew come six o’ clock in the evening, I could head home for a hot bath, something nice to eat, and watch my favourite television programme.

    That didn’t happen on any camping expedition I was on, that’s for sure.

    You see, I was in the Boy Scouts. In the late 1960s and early ’70s. Camping was seen then as ‘character building.’ And I think that’s what turned me into the bitter and twisted wee character I am today.

    The idea was we went on organised camps with the Troop Leaders to learn all sorts of useful skills.

    Aye right! I’m not sure exactly how may tent pegs I’ve subsequently had to whittle from a damp log found in the woods, but I’m guessing if I were to count them, they’d come to less than a finger on one hand.

    Map-reading? There’s another. Just jump in a taxi for goodness sake. Erecting a tent. Why? I’m never likely to go camping ever, ever again.

    It was pointless. Why not just take us away for the weekend to a nice hotel in a distant city where we could all sneak out, meet up with the local Girl Guide unit , and blag a few illicit beers. That would have more of a practical life experience.

    But no – not only were our parents so happy to pack us off for random weekends with the Scout Leaders, so they could … well … they were also happy to let us go without the adult supervision. And so off we’d go, maybe six of us from our own patrol; off to show the Leaders what great Scouts we were. Off to live under canvas for a weekend at the arse-end of the Earth.

    One time, our ever-so-inexperienced band of idiots pitched our tent at the foot of a wooded slope. With a river about fifty yards away.

    And it rained. Big, Scottish rain. Scottish rain is like rain the world over. Only more miserable!

    At two o’clock in the morning, with our sleeping bags already soaked, we had go out in the dark, with some crappy wee torch thing (the wick in the lanterns we’d brought were too damp to ignite) and dig a bloody big, deep trench around the tent and divert the cascading water away.

    Over the next two days, we replaced the rainwater in our clothes with smoke from the campfire which we eventually managed to restart.

    And we couldn’t just break camp and head home, because we were in the middle of bleedin’ nowhere, and weren’t due to be picked up until the Monday afternoon.

    And see all this palaver about digging latrines or using the bushes in the woods like a bear does??!! Whaaat?!

    That was the last time I went camping.

    (Oh no, wait. My wife and I did stay overnight in one of these plush Arabian tent things in Goa, India, a couple of years ago. And I got bitten on the chest by a huge spider that I witnessed escaping from under the bedsheet. The bite left a dirty great welt that I had to bombard with antiseptic creams for a week.)

    And caravanning is no better! I’ll post my ‘Caravan Holiday Hell‘ tale, taken from my book ‘A Space Hopper Killed My Hamster‘ in a day or two. Once I’ve gotten over the trauma of re-living my Camping experiences.

    SO THAT’S IT – CAMPING MUST BE BANNED! I’M STARTING A CAMPAIGN. HERE AND NOW! ARE YOU WITGH ME, BROTHERS & SISTERS? ADD YOUR NAME IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW, AND TOGETHER WE WILL CANVASS AGAINST CANVAS!

    1. The Spicy Spectacle

    You pride yourself on your tolerance for heat, so when the friendly street vendor in Bangkok offers you a taste of their “mild” curry, you confidently accept with a smile. But as the first fiery bite hits your tongue like a flamethrower in a chili factory, you quickly realize that you may have underestimated the true meaning of “Thai spicy.” Cue the frantic gulps of water and the impromptu fire-breathing performance that leaves your fellow diners both impressed and slightly concerned for your well-being.

    2. The Mystery Meat Mishap

    You’re feeling adventurous, so when the menu at that quaint little bistro in Paris lists “escargot” as the house specialty, you decide to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. But as you take your first tentative bite of the slimy delicacy, you can’t shake the sinking feeling that you may have just eaten something that was alive mere moments ago. Cue the existential crisis and the fervent vow to stick to more familiar fare for the remainder of your culinary adventures.

    3. The Cultural Conundrum

    You’re determined to immerse yourself in the local culture, so when your gracious host in Tokyo presents you with a steaming bowl of what can only be described as “mystery soup,” you graciously accept with a smile and a bow. But as you tentatively take a sip and try to identify the various unidentifiable floating objects, you realize that sometimes, cultural immersion comes with a side of gastrointestinal distress. Cue the polite nods and the silent prayers for a speedy recovery as you struggle to maintain your composure in the face of culinary adversity.

    4. The Street Food Fiasco

    You’ve heard rave reviews about the street food scene in Marrakech, so when you stumble upon a bustling market teeming with tantalizing smells and exotic flavors, you can’t resist the siren call of the street vendors. But as you dig into your first bite of falafel, you quickly realize that street food adventures come with their own set of risks – namely, the inevitable battle with food poisoning that leaves you regretting every culinary decision you’ve ever made.

  10. Controlling My Food Choices and Portion

    Click here for more articles & daily dose.

    Daily writing prompt What details of your life could you pay more attention to? View all responses

    I’ve always been a foodie.

    I enjoy my going on food trips with my family or friends. If I’m bored or sleepy, I would look for a snack, which again is well, food.

    Thus, over the years, the weight started piling up and towards the end of primary school, I noticed that my weight posed an issue. As a child, I was overweight. 

    I recalled visiting the doctor once when I was in primary school coz I was unwell and he made me stand on the weighing scale and perhaps he did say more but at a young age, all I remembered was him yelling “Your child is FAT. FAT. FAT. FAT. F-A-T, FAT!”, all throughout my checkup and as I was leaving his office with my mom.

    It felt like as if I had committed a felony. When in reality, he was trying to point out on how unhealthy it is for me, somehow in a rather direct way.

    Over the years, I’ve struggled with my weight. It was never constant and always up and down. I’ve tried various diets which didn’t stuck long. 

    The only time I properly lost weight was when I started my housemanship journey. Amidst me eating at the wrong time, somehow the weight just magically went off. Firstly, perhaps I was too occupied with work to eat properly, hence, unknowingly I tend to practice intermittent fasting almost everyday and secondly, my movements have increased dramatically. Walking above 15k steps per day was a norm.

    However, as I progressed throughout my postings, I learnt how to fit eating back into my busy schedule and the weight started piling back slowly.

    I brought the matter up to a dear friend and she mentioned that perhaps, I could try controlling my food portion. I reflected and realised that all these while, I’ve been consuming food in the usual portion which didn’t had an effect on me previously as I was constantly on the move.

    Thus, if there is something I seriously need to pay more attention to, it would be my food choices as well as the portion. Food is extremely delicious and good. Sadly, I would say that I fall into the category of “Live to Eat” rather than “Eat to Live”.

    Hence, it’s time for me to take charge and make a change towards my food choices and start my journey towards a healthier life.

  11. Reflection of the Paediatrics Posting

    Related Posts:

    Paediatrics Posting. The posting of tiny human beings.

    Looking back, I feared entering into the Paediatrics posting. I think I say that for almost every posting.

    However, it was one that I fell in love with before I even off-tagged, as mentioned in one of my articles previously.

    The stress level was not as bad as it was in other postings mainly because we were dealing with children. Not to say that treating them is easier, in fact it isn’t as they tend to fight back, scream or cry a lot.

    I mean they’re just children.

    But perhaps when I do come to work, the smile on their cute faces were enough to alleviate some of the stress and checking them clinically involves a skill as they are easily triggered. 

    I would find myself playing with them or calming them down. Most of the time if I were to auscultate them, they would either start playing with it, swat it away or start crying.

    The Paediatrics posting is the place I started eating again amidst the stress. Irregardless of the amount of patients and work to do, there is always time for lunch or at least our superiors will make sure of that. 

    It was also the place where I enjoyed the long rounds in the morning and afternoon as well as I would present to specialists. 

    I made a good friend with a medical officer who I still keep contact with albeit having left the posting. I enjoyed the days where I would be allocated to work with him. 

    Having worked both in the general ward and nursery ward, the experiences were different but enjoyable nonetheless.

    If there is a posting I wouldn’t mind repeating, it is the Paediatric Posting and I hope you do or will or had enjoyed this posting just as much as I did.

    Sometime ago, I wrote about “The Small Change I Hope My Blog Would Make“, whereby I mentioned that with every article written and uploaded on this website would spread some form of comfort and positivity, especially within the community of junior doctors.

    Perhaps I’m just simply being optimistic. I have to. That keeps me going, even on difficult days to the point it has become a default reflex for me.

    Nonetheless, I love to write and sometimes I do get lost that I tend to deviate from the topic at times and divert back to the main topic at hand.

    Living in this world which has its flaws and problems at every corner, I try to see the good aspect of things and thus, I try to end my articles on a good note or some encouragement, which is mainly directed at me actually. However, I never know who may be reading my written articles and perhaps just need some encouragement and kind words at the moment.

    It serves as a “happy ending” just like a fairytale in which I escape in one too many times.

    Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

    I am half-Filipino. My mother is from the Philippines and my father, a Malaysian, like me.

    Growing up, I was neither close to my mother’s or father’s side. However, between these two, I am somewhat culturally inclined towards my mother’s side through some of her simple heartwarming dishes that she cooked growing up as well as some of the Filipino songs she would play or the Tagalog words she would incorporate in her daily conversations.

    Two of the simple dish my mother would prepare would be pasta or bolognese spaghetti and Buko salad.

    1. Spaghetti

    Originally, spaghetti is a form of pasta and a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.

    However, it also serves as one of the staple Filipino dishes.

    My mother would usually make a batch of bolognese spaghetti occasionally and on New Year’s Eve, as that is what my maternal grandmother used to do while she was growing up.

    It is rather simple and easy as well and she would go crazy with the cheddar cheese topping. Over the years, as she started to dwell into vegetarianism and eventually become one for a lifetime, she created her own variation of a vegetarian version.

    2. Buko Salad

    Adapted from https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/buko-salad/

    “Buko” salad is a form of Filipino fruit salad.

    “Buko” refers to a young coconut fruit and “Buko” salad consists of the young coconut itself.

    It is a simple dish which has many variations.

    My mother would usually mix with nata de coco of various colours, avoiding the colourless ones, corn, a huge can of mix fruits and other canned fruits before finally mixing it with evaporated milk, cheddar cheese and “buko”.

    She will the separate it into containers and freeze it and have it on New Year’s Eve.

    Growing up, my family would be seated at the dining table with other dishes prepared on New Year’s Eve for us to dine in together at midnight and every year, these two dishes remains a staple.

    Daily writing prompt What would your life be like without music? View all responses

    Utterly boring.

    As far as I could recall, I have always associated studying with music.

    Perhaps it is because while growing up, my mom had always filled the house with music and made me sit at a corner to study whether I liked it or not, I had to study.

    Eventually, I’ve grown used to, to studying with music or reading with music.

    In high school, I discovered the kind of music that I like as well as the suitable time for me to study.

    Thus, music and studying goes hand-in-hand or I will not be able to focus.

    Eventually, I shift to Podcasts and Audiobooks while I am going about doing my chores or cooking, I am either listening to these or music.

    Even my daily morning writing has jazz or lo-fi playing in the background.

    There are days of course when I do not feel like listening to my music or is simply not in the mood for other musics.

    Thus, “lo-fi” or “jazz” are my go-to. Still musical nevertheless.

  15. Daily writing prompt Have you ever been camping? View all responses

    Back in the early 80’s I was a Boy Scout. You bet your sweet ass I’ve been camping.

    I don’t think I was ever very good at it, if that’s even a thing. I always enjoyed the little trips. Tents, cabins, whatever. Tents in the winter time are a pretty sucky experience. Warm cabins? Now we’re talking. Except for that one time.

    It was the dead of winter. The weather was super cold but the cabin was warm. The lake was frozen and we were going to try ice fishing. First we tried sledding down the steep, icy hill that had the path from the cabin to the lake. I wasn’t the first to go. The adventurous, athletic types lined up to go first. I was the awkward fat kid and I stayed near the back of the line.

    All of the other guys were laying down on the sled and going head first. They were flying down that hill at crazy speeds. I was too chicken for that. I sat upright with my ass toward the back. My first run down the hill was awesome, at first. Then gravity combined with a really low coefficient of friction conspired to do their thing. The weight was at the back of the sled and wouldn’t you know it, the sucker spun around. I was now flying down the hill at a million miles an hour (estimated) backwards. It was exhilarating. Until the tree, at least.

    I hit a tree while traveling at about Warp 8.5. Slam. Crash. My head slammed into the tree, very hard. I didn’t pass out, but it knocked me for a loop, I tells ya. Ouch town, population me, Bro. The adults packed me into someone’s car and drove me to a doctor. I had a concussion. I was a tad loopy for a day or two. I slept well, at least.

    I don’t remember if that was my last Scout camping trip or not. It might have been. It would probably make a better story if it were. I quit the Boy Scouts when I was in the eighth grade. I gave it another try about a year later, but I didn’t last long enough to go on any camping trips. I am pretty sure that this concussion was my second and last. I was six when I had the first one and that was ice-related too, but I’ll share that story another day.

    I guess the follow up question here is would I ever want to go camping again. The answer is never say never, but it’s a safe bet I have packed my last tent. Done and done.
