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.

Protein Filled Goodness

lcscarlett957

What are your feelings about eating meat?

Right now, I’m not eating meat, because of a restrictive personal matter.

But oh, I loved eating meats.

Um, I got to learn some really good recipes that are really protein. It filled and helped with my energy and is really tasty with the right spices.

I mean, I did get traumatized when I saw the method of getting meat and them wrestling acow down and violently, trying to process it.

That’s why my relationship with me is an up and down. I don’t mind eating hamburgers or cooking with lean ground beef, but with separating the actual parts to send off it’s gives me nightmares.

So I guess the relationship is at a standstill. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Better Myself & Adventure Time

lcscarlett957

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

I would say if I did not need sleep. I would take that time to better myself.

Try to get some extra hours into doing various creative projects that I would like to.

For instance, it’s been a while since I wrote…been depressed due the troubles of life, but trying to figure out a new concept and creative ideasvto update the blog, but never have any time. Because either i’m too distracted or i’m too tired.

Or I can learn some new skills.
Some technical, some creative or  some actually totally out of the box that can make people smile and have fun.

Also if sleep did not matter, I would go on an adventure in the nighttime even though from How I Met Your Mother….

Ted says nothing good happens after 2 am…..

I mean, who would want to go to chinatown at twelve am. Reminds me of a Bollywood movie (36 China Town) that I watched, where a mystery happened at twelve am.While some others were asleep, there was dancing singing playing at the casino and people just putting on their best clothes and striding into the night but there was an unexpected murder mystery happening.

For me, I would like to go on an adventure in the subway around the city. Just see all the interesting random moments of ehat happens at that time.
