3 Occupations – Admiration

August 11, 2025August 11, 2025 lcscarlett957

What profession do you admire most and why?

The first job that I admire is teachers because they’re underrated for how they set the course for many individuals. A new generation every year to every decade to every century directs their paths in what they would like for themselves in the future.

I’m sure that some of the people nowadays kind of look back on school whether they were good or bad. And kind of recommend how they had a good teacher to help direct them on who they are. And what makes them happy to consider for the rest of their lives

The second job that I admire is doctors in any specialty because they have the knowledge and we’re blessed with such skills that save people’s lives. Watching on TV and experiencing in person is how they’re kind of a support system where a person’s life is at stake. And they can be all of the things at once. They can be a figure of comfort and or they can be an advisor.

They’re developing new technologies and methods and the skills creating a sense of hope for people.

For the third job that I admire is a detective, it’s because, well, let’s say it’s good to know how people are thinking, and their skills of observation making sure that nothing can be held back from them. They have a wide range of masses of knowledge in psychology, science, methods of deception, to medicine, to make sure that he was no one pulls a wool over their eyes, which is cool.

I’ve always admired them because they’re the only people who can read you like a book other than lawyers and you can’t lie to them. 😏

A Mix of an Anime World – Alternate

August 7, 2025August 7, 2025 lcscarlett957

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

I’m such a huge anime fan, that if I had to choose an alternate universe to explain my life in there….

It can be between 2 options, so why not both? 😄

Option 1: Alternative Universe (One Piece)

I wake up on the top of my big pirate ship… 🚢

Sun beams through and one my crew members calls me down for breakfast

Quickly change and get ready and hop on a nearby rope and swing down and land on my vice captain and my medical help and laugh together

And go into the kitchen to a nice meal and loud fussing of my 12 pirate crew

We all laugh and play around

If there is any trouble, I will help defend and fight to get the navy off my back

Escaping and challenging myself to next big threat

So in summary, my life would be carefree and finding adventure and meeting so much people and feeling free on the sea. 😉

Option 2: Alternate Universe (Detective Conan)

Waking up in a big mansion in my house with my family, 2 big brothers and one big sister. 😀

My parents would be well-known and give me more freedom and fewer restrictions.

My brothers would be a police officer high executive and the other would be an entertainer. My sister would be a doctor that is overly cautious.

Me… I would be in high school and working to be a detective like the main character.

Also, I would work with the police department as a consultant to help with cases no matter how dangerous.

I’ll wake up doing the nice routine and say hello my family members. Mom and Dad are off on a business trip but still have the make time to video call us.

My 3 or 4 classmates comes to pick me up for school and we all work together.

I would an acquaintance that I argue, but it will be one of those instances where I argur with him all thr time but don’t know when I start to fall for him

I would have a scientist as friend with a small family friend that helps me and build me different I can use.

I use a scooter or electric scooter to get places and have the wind in my hair where I can do what I would like.

I would have lots of hobbies, one being karate, karuta or dance that I could go.

Still having responsibilities but feeling more me and better.

Summary in this alternative would be a smart high school girl detective who helps when there is trouble that lurks in any corner and be sharp like Sherlock Homles or Ms. Marple.

Love the Main Meal….Worth It Together?

August 6, 2025 lcscarlett957

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?

Well…I’m living in Canada and all the expwnsive taxes with the economy.

Most of the food whether grocery or restaurant is expensive.

Well, I would say, the most, I spent on a single meal….

I don’t feel it is around the price of a normal meal, but it was like three entrees, so maybe so…

I believe it was around $80.00 and it was at a nice restaurant nearby downtown Toronto.

It was a new restaurant. I haven’t heard before, I don’t even remember the name but I can remember it was around 82.00 to 85.00 dollars for just me when the bill came.

And I thought, that was too expensive, with the appetizer being so small.

The only thing that was worth it, was the entree, with just this wonderful grilled salmon. With with some sweet potato fries and another kind of many coleslaw, or I believe it was like a nice salad on the side.

Also the garlic bread was really tasty.

Even tried other such good sides with small roasted potatoes and the steamed vegetables and there was this wonderful sauce that was chef’s kiss. 💋 👨‍🍳

And then the dessert, even though it was sort of a medium portion. I am a fan of chocolate. I am a chocoholic, so overall, I believe it was a little bit worth it because everything was cooked properly and had nice service with kind gestures.

But it could have been more reasonably priced. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Modern in the Right Direction

July 30, 2025 lcscarlett957

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

My parents are not decorating or festive decorators, or put in the effort into making the holiday special other than going to church.

Or even coming to the festivities other than praying and giving grace.

For example, they’ve never cooked a Turkey on Thanksgiving. That’s something that I had to bring up.

I believe that decorating and sharing the festivities in going out, seeing a pumpkin patch, or going to the local farms is a tradition, and cooking turkey is a good tradition as well.

They don’t really do Christmas decorations or go around the tree. And putting up decorations to get into the Christmas spirit, I had to introduce that to make things lighter and festive.

Even with making up games something I like to put a tradition on. So we can just laugh and play with each other. They didn’t do that in their time because they didn’t celebrate Christmas festively and uniquely back in Africa.

They would randomly go around the shops and visit from sitting outside and just talk for hours.

That’s fine, but I think it’s important for me to part with my very own traditions which I see as a very nice part to invoke in the future for me and future family.

Unique…but Reasonable

July 28, 2025 lcscarlett957

How would you describe yourself to someone?

I would describe myself as quiet but unique when you get to know me.

Sometimes…I can be creative or have a mental block.

Passionate about different projects, good news, media, and a lot of rare things to show and look back on.

I’m empathetic, and respectful because I am not quick to judge anyone until I get to know them on a comfortable level and layers for me to let go to show my true self.

I scare easily and am fearful…But I was born in a wonderful faith with a respectful religious background which I always remain humble.

Sometimes I show too much passion, especially for sports or topics I love…

I have a bad habit of overhinkjng and stressful, because ai wnt things to be perfect or fix things easily and too nice.

So I reflect a lot on myself and always try to grow in any way I can.

Can be lazy…but responsible and always loyal to my loved ones because inside that I am still working on, I care about other people more than I do myself.

Quiet, Unique, Simple but Passionate and Caring

That’s Me and I’m still working to be better 🙂

Take a Break & Journal Your Thoughts

July 24, 2025 lcscarlett957

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Mental Health is something I did not consider important, until 3 years ago I got wiser and had a lot of personal factors….something that took me to a very low point in my life and I didn’t know how to get out.

So I just thought and searched online what is something I can do to improve my mornings and not feel depressed….

And some strategies that I found out…

1. Try and make a routine to help lessen the load. With mornings and evenings.

2. Add small healthy habits slowly to help your mental and physical well-being.

3. Exercise although tiring and hard at first can go a long way and helps…

4. Don’t wait to start something or learn something new just do it.

5. Meditation and time to yourself is a very important factor that is healthy to add.

6. Journaling your thoughts, fears, aspirations, anger, joy, sadness, and happiness is a good outlet to release stress

7. Planning out meals brought a new joy and improved my mental health because I don’t feel the need to rush or stuck in confusion.

8. Take a break during the day…too much time on one or multiple things will lead to burnout.

I am still reading and looking at some more good advice to add to help me but I still keep on trying. 🙂

Take a Risk to Venture Off

July 23, 2025 lcscarlett957

What are your future travel plans?

Well, since traveling to 2 places for the first time out in the world…

One is Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Wonderful place and will definitely go to take a trip back in the future.

Second was Cuba, a budget-friendly place that had beautiful weather, but it will take a different accommodation to make me go back.

That being said, I would like to visit more tropical places and areas of historical value and learn about the culture around the world.

If I were to write down a list…

Jamacia
Spain
Italy
Switzerland
Fiji
Barbados
Maldives
Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka)
Bali
Bora-Bora
Dubai
China (Great Wall)
Machu Pichu
Cape Town
Tanzania
Florida – Need on trip to Disneyland at least once
London
Barcelona
Sydney, Australia
Paris France

It’s a bit of a long list but I really would love to see you around the world and learn more.

I would try probably for some budget-friendly as I am right now.

But I pray and believe that step by step, I can get the chance to visit those places and even more across the world.

I’m even interested in going and traveling around where I live right now in Canada.

Because for 25 years, I haven’t even seen around the country where I was born. So for starters, I would love to see the great Baniff Park. How about taking a trip to see Vancouver?

Take a trip to Montreal, see the culture of Quebec City, and even some of the Northwest Territories, or a little bit up in Calgary, just for a change.

More Self-Care…Less Phone Addiction

July 22, 2025 lcscarlett957

What would you change about modern society?

Modern technology has grown so much over the century…

It has done a lot of good in the world. But it also has done a bit of bad, in more physical and mental aspects.

Technology is a wonderful tool.

But it can take away from real connections that were once there previously.

As I was a kid and I got on the bus, people were laughing, even strangers talking to each other and it was interesting. With meeting new people and having fun or any experience.

Now, as an adult and 2025…

I get on a bus, and everybody’s glued to their phones.

Either looking at them for thirty minutes straight or it’s just mindless doom scrolling on social media.

Even my parents can’t put down the phone to acknowledge my presence while doom-scrolling Facebook videos and looks at them all tge time during social events.

And then I get home and you know, they can’t even look me straight for 5 minutes.

So I would change a little bit about modern society may be more attentiveness.

Put in a smartphone feature where the phone is not active until two or three hours of the day have passed.

And even when you go to bed just so that the moments that are meant to be shared are more meaningful.

Variety of Genres

July 21, 2025July 21, 2025 lcscarlett957

What do you listen to while you work?

Sometimes, when I am trying to relax at work a bit….at times I listen to a variety of music that depends on my mood and atmosphere…

If I want to wake up because I’m feeling bored…I listen to one of my playlist on Spotify called Throwback.

Old songs that just make me wanna get up and move my body.

If I want to feel reminiscent, I listen to a Bollywood music playlist of songs that I love both fast and slow because it’s part of my childhood.

If I want to feel a bit pumped up then I listen to anime music, cause its part of my pre-teen years to now that I would like to give it a listen and make me smile

Music is a powerful thing that I love 😁
