Prompt: Lost With Two Items and Birthday Update

Today's writing prompt: I am lost in the woods and I only have 2 items with me.

Yup, that was the prompt. Just that. Why am I am doing this?! #lol

Well, if I was lost in the woods, which I won't be because I wouldn't go near the woods alone unless someone throws me in there against my will which is, by the way, a crime 😁, and I have only two items with me, it would be:

A knife
A lighter

With a knife, I can cut down anything I find in the woods. It's a big-gish knife, alright? 😓😉😝And I believe that I can eat grass if I have to. Won't be the best meal on earth but one's got to do what one's got to do to stay alive.

As for the lighter, I can survive the dead of the night and I don't like the dark. So, I think it's the best way to survive. I don't know if a knife and lighter can get me water but if I can find my way around with a fire, I might find a source for water.

Man, this writing prompt thing is hard, isn't it?

Hang on....scratch all of that. I would be lost in the woods with 2 items and the items are:

An air-conditioned/heated luxury camping car stocked sky high with food and drinks
Navigator

There you go. Perfect. Hahaha....

Anyway, April 1st in this family is always a big thing because it's my sons' (both) and mother's birthdays and we celebrated it the best way we can. A meal with the fam, cake, a small gathering with the young ones clamoring all over my sister's house, couches, stairs and anything else climbable, and then a huge arse buffet with the boys.

And I bought them a violin, by the way. Because they've asked for a violin before because they thought it was an intriguing instrument. Being the skeptic that I am, I waited it out.

As with anything else that comes out of their mouths, it might be a passing fascination that would be over before I can say "Yeah right". But they continued to like the instrument without bugging me about buying it, thinking that I wouldn't even if they asked for it.

Well, as it turns out, they both still liked the violin and VIOLA, we have two violinist wannabes in the house now.

I just hope the neighbors can't figure out which house all that scratchy noise pollution is coming from. 😱😅😎💭

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night. But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles. Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared. I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes. REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film. Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it. It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
