Nail Art & Digital Art

lcscarlett957

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

I used to love doing my nails. But after a long time, it’s just focusing on other things. I kind of lost that passion and outgrown it.

I love doing different designs, different colors. Just express myself and I try to do it on people. It a little bit failed, but I did my best. I was getting better but I’m not sure why I stopped….

I think with the busyness of life and other factors coming in. I forgot about it and just focus on things that help me save time.

I would love to do it again. Open with looking at different youtube tutorials.The different designs, the different methods, just different patterns.Just, it’s stress free activity that I can do. And in the long run…It would be a nice idea to save some money.

The second one would be probably digital art that I lost interest due to time. I love the sprite art when I first started watching the youtube creator it’s called Super Mario Bros Z. Basically, its a mix between how the Mario universe just got mashed with the Sonic universe into this one cool plot of getting the chaos emeralds and defeating a central enemy.

That kind of spread to watching and playing games on Newgrounds. A cool gamer website. I think my favorite would be probably the tutorial mario games plus these two cool games of Final Fantasy Sonic and Wave Warrior Sonic. They had such cool plots, and it was fun and nice to play along.

I did wanted to start like a little bit on my own. I did try to bite a little bit on powerpoints and just trying to learn powerpoint even more. Also tried to learn like the software on how to do sprite flash animation. So I can do my own stuff. It was really cool and with my storyteller imagination. I would like to add a few things and then send to the creator just say I made this, hope you like it like a fan.

But I kind of stopped once flash software stopped being available. And with the other software it takes more steps. And I did not have that much time, because I had studying, school, work, and life just got in the way.

Basic Food, Seasonings & Soap

lcscarlett957

The most important invention in your lifetime is…

I would say these two are my i’m thinking that they’re the most important invention in my lifetime.

Well first of all, so because it came to me from a manga and an anime called Dr Stone.

They said some really important points that was just like rebuilding the world. But the one ingredient and factor that helped would be the creation of soap.Because it helps in different situations.

Well, first you gotta be hygienically clean.

And second, it prevents illnesses like with touching and especially the time with the pandemic, how it’s important to wash your hands. And the bacteria would be gone, and it would be prevented from spreading around even including disinfecting wipes.

This substance or small thing has really helped throughout time that I really didn’t think about until now.

The second will be basic food and the creation and invention of different dishes/cuisines and how it transformed.

It also came from watching many tv shows with watching Masterchef growing up and especially from anime like Food Wars. But I did notice one thing that was important, that came from One Piece.

It’s something that a character named Zeff said. And I kind of thought about it in general and seriously, when you’re abandoned, there are no where around you like let’s say an island.

The first thing that is important isn’t how much money you have or electricity or social media or all the superficial stuff….

The first factor you think about is shelter, but most especially food.

And after I saw the scene where he made that sacrifice, and he was thinking about Sanji, and he let him eat, and he didn’t even have any food for himself, just jewels and gold. And treasures that didn’t mean really mean anything.

He remembered and made a good point and how we should never waste food. And that for me that makes me kinda regret a lot. And the respect for resources, because what’s the point if you can’t feed yourself to survive and grow.

Seasonings is an unnoticed thing. That kind of made me realize how grateful that seasonings were invented or discovered.

Because they kind of they transformed food in a wonderful way when learning about meal prepping and switching from eating out and not even eating from fast food for 2 years now. For me and just looking up different recipes with seasonings and styles and appreciating and loving different aromas makes me think it’s a good invention.

Cleaning Up After Everyone

lcscarlett957

What do you complain about the most?

Sometimes its hard when  I feel like the most responsible and aren’t beligrent of serious situations.

And its the small annoying things that I have to handle, when it can be clearly taken care by another person who is responsible for their own mess.

Its puts mental stress…..on not only by my coping limit but my inner peace.

Examples

  • Someone leaving messes around the house that they expect others people to pick up for them
  • Someone is not responsible for his/her finances and leaves it to another to be good when they are having their own stress
  • Someone who isn’t being responsible for his own life or career and you have to be his assistant

When the complaints start, and you want to not blow up. It helps to remember some podcasts like Mel Robbins or Jay Shetty on boundaries, mental health, stress and responsibilities.

Macbook Air: 8 Years and Still Using

lcscarlett957

Write about your first computer.

My first computer that I bought for myself eight years ago and i’m still using, in the present day is a Macbook Air 2017.

Well, because I was heading first into college. And my dad just informed me that having a personal computer really helps.

Than, relying on handwritten notes…..

You can write notes and record on the computer.And it’s good to store and have especially transitioning into college life.

And it’s still with me today.

Well, never really thought of using or buying a new one?

Because it’s already good to use. Even though it’s been eight years, but it is slowing now. But i’m still grateful that I still have it.

Hey….helps save money than buying a new one every 3 to 4 years.

Turkey & Sweet Potato Bowl

lcscarlett957

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

My relationship with food is very active and I’vee loved cooking more.Now that i’ve learned to cook and see all the cool and interesting recipes.

But currently, one that I found last year was this beautiful recipe of a turkey and a sweet potato bowl.

I was looking for turkey recipes because I was changing my protein because I feel like I was eating too much chicken and not eating that much of meat or other kind of protein. And so I thought turkey was a good alternative and is very healthy.

So I looked up a nice recipe on tiktok, and it showed this interesting turkey and sweet potato bowl, made from red onion, air fried sweet potato, cooked turkey and a bunch of spices that I had a mix together first time using cilantro leaves and just mixing it up. And adding dome nicedspices heating it on the pan and cooking it through.

There is also a nice sauce with a mayos and spice and some lemon juice.

I was cautious at first. But then, when I took my first bite of it, it’s was chef’s  kiss 💋, so yummy. And its has become one of my favorite meals during each week to cook.

Here is the link for taking a try.

Texting, Video Chats and Emojis 😝

lcscarlett957

In what ways do you communicate online?

I always communicate by texting online, because it’s the usual modern trait…..If you want to talk to somebody.

Plus I’m more comfortable by texting.

Even though I am trying to get more comfortable with talking to people online either by video chat and because it’s nice to connect with people that are far away.

And just it’s like being face to face, but through a  screen. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Texting is just a normal thing.And as an introvert, it’s my comfort.

But when it comes to video calls, I feel like it’s another form to express myself with just talking in a face of face conversation. And just communicating on a different level. Even though it is kind of distant.

Plus I do love the emojis to express how I can feel. 😁

Waving Flag – Trip to New York

lcscarlett957

Think back on your most memorable road trip.

Ahhh its such a long time since I had a long car road trip.

The most visible memory would be visiting my relatives in New York with an invitation to a party.

We were going along Toronto to Buffalo and to New York…

We were with family friends that were invited as well and made it more fun with all the pit stops.

I believe it was around 2009 when the song “Waving Flag” was popular and we sung it all through the road trip.

Plus others 😅

It was first time experiencing the money and cultural shock of  visiting U.S for the first time.

I can still remember getting out a 20 dollar bill for ordering 2 combo McDonald’s chicken meals and finding out it cost 5 dollars….

😂😂That was interesting to hear and relief to pay.

Dairy in a Small Form – Yogurt

lcscarlett957

What snack would you eat right now?

The snack that I would eat and I am literally about to eat at this time is a nice small yogurt.

Since, I am build a system to eat more healthier and not needing to binge and digest those sugary or salty snacks….

I thought one small snack thats either dairy or fruit can help.

But Vanilla Greek yogurt is a favorite of mine. 😋

Cause its healthy and I dont have that much sugar thats a good balance after a filling lunch.

I wouldn’t mind a mixed Berry or blueberry yogurt as well to try different tastes. 🙂

Happy New Year!

lcscarlett957

Happy New Year! It has been a long time since a personal blog post has came out. Life got in the way and I doubted myself for doing this blog, because I failed in one other goal and it was reflected in my days.

I questioned myself…

My inner voice told me…no one would wanna read what I had to say. 😐

But I did miss this because I like letting my own voice out, and writing out to help people in anyway.

I am gonna change the blog and try to see what I can. 🙂

I gave up…but I give up trying to do nothing and not feel anything.

In change, but growing to see to become a bit more self-care with sharing stories.

Because I am a storyteller in my own way, and like reading and listening to other to help in anyway I can.

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year and let this new year brings good exciting stories and adventures.
