Blogging

Too many drafts inside and multi-tasking or should I say I lose interest in one blog entry and keep jumping around, especially when I need to word the entry. It’s so much faster to plonk everything in FB, in simple words but I need to type longer sentences in FB (我的英文也不是很好。all typed in simple sentences, I suspect my IQ is low for me to speak so simply 😂)

Why so many drafts? This lor soh is documenting her life story so that she can read back next time. Her children can read back if they’re interested and if they knew/remember my blog address. I’m a mom of two not just athenamummy, but I’m not tech savvy to know how to change the blog address to also being the little monster’s mom. Other than that I don’t even know who’s reading this. I also blog on interesting things or things I deem interesting to know. There are things which I put in my blog that I don’t put in my FB. 

Drafts are in faster than me typing them out properly coz most times I need to clear the photos from my phone. So I drop them in first. Blogs take longer to type coz I’m not exactly free all the time, sometimes I take small little pockets of time. One blog entry may take me 4-5 to go in and have everything out. And the dates all don’t tally. Really! I can be editing posts that are 2 years back. I resorted to FB coz it’s faster, until I realise years later that I haven’t been updating my blog. Hmm…the girls blogs are absolutely quiet now 😬.

I can never be a content creator. How am I suppose to churn out posts as frequently as expected? So all I’m thankful if I ever or even have at least 3 readers reading my boring blog now. While I’m typing this blog entry now and getting it out punctually on 17th Nov at 12.27, I’m infact still typing this at 2am. I’m glad I can type this on my phone, small screen but oh well I’m lazy to turn on the laptop or iPad. I’ve just learnt from a friend that I can swipe my fingers across the keyboard to type my words out, so the phone is helping me in this aspect. 

I always need to leave the date and time on the header then I can go back the date and post it out 3 months or 3 years later 😂. 

180 drafts. Haha! I’m going to be telling my lengthy grandmother story

I’m blogging with music, my Christmas music. Not the usual album I listen to when I listen to Christmas songs while planning our holiday itineraries. I love that album coz it just gets me going. If you’ve heard of Pavlov’s dog theory you will know what I mean. I can only listen to Spotify coz I can’t use YouTube and safari at the same time.  

Listening now 

The album I often listen to in YouTube. I can’t find this in Spotify

It’s a horrible feeling that I’m not listening to music while planning for our holidays now. Usually at this time of the year I’d be sitting infront of the laptop. Any trip this December? Likely not as we’re going for two long trips in Jan and Mar. But it’s so strange that I’ll be Singapore this year for Christmas 😂. I miss Japan. I want to go to Germany 🇩🇪 to the Xmas markets. Can only daydream coz I don’t print money lor! 

Guess I should take the Dec month to try to clear some backlog in my blog. Or maybe plan itineraries, like I do have for certain country, then when the trip is materialising I can pull it out quickly? Afterall it’s really weird not to be planning itineraries at this time of the year. 

Now left with 179 posts! 178 to be exact coz I just posted a draft dated 2018 😂😂. Wah… 7 years ago! already went thru covid and survived that apocalypse to have it posted 7 years later.
