Painting?

Daily writing prompt
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

Self-expression through painting and sketching, I haven’t done for some time. I have this expectation that whenever I decide to paint it must always “look” nice instead of just me trying to interpret the world around me. So, yeah… I hope I didn’t outgrow painting and sketching, I should really start any project.

Do you also have this point-of-view? Did you overcome it? How did you overcome it?

Fleeting…

Daily writing prompt
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

It showed me that everything is fleeting. Everything I worried about or fussed about will pass. And that in the end I will have to face things on own, alone. I guess it is more bittersweet.

Cut my ‘tou-fa’

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

I have been wanting to cut my hair short but I’m too anxious to go to a hair salon. To some they don’t mind the people but this simple activity, I just simply dread it. I should really find someone who cuts hair at home.

But today’s the last best day to cut my hair before Chinese New Year. So, I am contemplating of having my older sis cut my hair. The tricky part about my hair is its curly. They need to iron it before cutting. Hahaha

Praying that I decide before the mall closes and the day ends.

Curry & Egg & Tomato & Tteokbokki

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I really enjoy eating so I just naturally enjoy the process of cooking. I usually experiment on usual recipes but sometimes just follow what’s written. My most favorite things to cook are Curry (Asian curries), Egg & Tomato, and Tteokbokki.

I developed this love for Egg & Tomato when I kept eating at Chinese restaurants, I eventually learned the recipe and I enjoy how easy and convenient it is to cook.

For Tteokbokki, we used to have this Korean Mart near our home, so I usually buy the ingredients and cook it on our slow cooker or the colorful clay pots.

Had to share it with siblings

Daily writing prompt
Write about your first computer.

“My” First Computer was an “Our” or “Hour” Computer. I had to share it with my siblings and we had to limit usage for each. At first I wasn’t really into it until my siblings taught me how to play STARCRAFT with some tipping cows, and occasional car racing PC Games. The obsession just snowballed. My current game of choice now though is MOBILE LEGENDS. I tend to stick to one game for years. I do remember also playing this online multiplayer game where you try to hit the opposing team by angling the shot based on current wind speeds, consider distance and if there are tornados in between (digging the name of that game in my brain).

And I remember I had a lot of online guy friends when I got into that game that I can’t remember. Also, had a constant guy best friend text/call mate during those years. I miss those times. I don’t remember so much about the conversations now but I still remember being heard then.

Shoutout to that friend!
