Answering a new and inspiring Writing Prompt (Jetpack block) each day.

  • Bible essentially

    Daily writing prompt
    What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

    20230611-0032. Essentially what we need is the good book to live a good life and that’s all. That would be the Bible. Read it everyday, preferably listen to it everyday for at least one to two hours.

    But we still need the essentials to live NOT just a good life but a descent life; for without these basic essentials, such as food, water, clothing and shelter, we would perish.

    Then there’s the ideas of love and light, hugs and kisses, all of which help to supplement a good and better life.

  • I don’t want to read books

    Daily writing prompt
    What books do you want to read?

    20230610-1441. I just do NOT have the patience to read books. I find myself reading in reverse – starting from the end of the book and then back to the front of the book.

    I just want to know the results, the end, the summary, the gist of the story or plot and NOT have to trudge through tons of pages and NOT wonder what in the world happened after hours and hours of reading.

    Yesterday, after our favorite podcaster posted the link on his main Telegram channel on/about 15:50 PM, I listened to my Paul Johnson version of KJV audio for the Book of Deuteronomy, which lasted over two hours and then the Apple Music app played the next Book of Numbers which I had to cut short for time for sleep.

    I prefer listening only and trying to read along seems to be more distracting but helps to focus on GOD’s words. I tried reading only but then I’d fall asleep within a few minutes of reading a few passages.

  • Celebrating special events

    Daily writing prompt
    Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

    20230610-1436. I used to celebrate birthday and holidays with meals, birthday cakes, and gifts. I enjoyed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. We also tried Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Then there were Baptisms or Christenings and Weddings, too. But now I no longer wish to celebrate these special events, especially Valentine’s Day as we would during my schooling years.

  • Blogging in my leisure time

    Daily writing prompt
    What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

    20230610-1430. That’s all I’ve been doing since 2006. I’ve been blogging. This was the time when I left working as a cubicle slave once and for all. I never looked back as I became a primary caregiver to my parents.

    So now I’m trying to answer as many as these daily writing prompts, starting with 1800 and onward. I’ve answered some from last year but those aren’t showing up as ‘tags’ anymore.

    Anything prior to daily prompted tag number 1804, isn’t showing up as ‘tags’. Here is what I see:

    No recent posts

    No posts have recently been tagged with dailyprompt-1803 for your language.

    So that’s what I enjoy doing in my leisure time.

  • Southern California

    Daily writing prompt
    Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

    20230610-1426. Actually, I don’t leave my home. So one day, I’d like to visit Los Angeles and San Diego. I might have distant relatives at these two locations.

    I probably won’t be able to meet our favorite daily messenger; although he did invite me twice to visit. Strange but he’s supposed to visit me.

    But I guess it is what it is after all these year I actually spoke with him briefly but would get disconnected as a sign that it’s NOT meant to be.

  • Can’t think of five fun things

    Daily writing prompt
    List five things you do for fun.

    20230610-1423. I can’t think of five fun things to do but here goes:

    1. blogging
    2. chatting
    3. singing
    4. cooking
    5. cleaning
  • Pretty strong faith

    Daily writing prompt
    Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

    20230610-1345. In Spanish, FE, means faith.

    FE shows up on the periodic table as the element number 26 for iron.

    In Spanish, LINDA, means pretty.

    So basically my name means pretty strong faith, but like iron can rust and turn into dust.

  • Blogging chatting moderating

    Daily writing prompt
    What’s your dream job?

    20230610-1339. If I only know what I’m doing to the point, then I’d like to be a moderator on online activities but short of being a censorship police. But for now, it’s just blogging to myself since nobody knows about this new WordPress blog and chatting online who could be anybody for all I care and just so I could have fun expressing or sharing whatever I’ve parroting from online over the past 20 years or so.

    Just sitting in front of my desktop computer and pounding away on my keyboard, is enough to keep me busy; although our favorite podcaster gave me the planet Saturn and its rings to work on or rather practice upon, which doesn’t make sense since these “images” are composites and NOT the real deal.

  • Charismatic yakker

    Daily writing prompt
    What makes a good leader?

    20230610-1332. A good leader has to be charismatic and I mean VERY good-looking;. has excellent communication and social skills; knows how to listen VERY well; and also is an expert on just about everything within that chosen field and beyond.

    No good leader is good enough without the support of others who are probably wealthy and just as good looking. Nobody wants to hang around with poor and butt fugly folks!

    I would suspect that a good leader must possess a hint of genius bordering on psychosis and just enough to ward off the attacks by other unscrupulous followers/subscribers.

    I would also think that a good leader is perfect in every way. After all, no good leader would be without his minions.

  • Petroleum products

    Daily writing prompt
    If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

    20230610-1325. That would be petrol or gasoline or oil products, which are polluting but also damaging to one’s health.

    While I love the smell of fresh gasoline from the gas station, I don’t like the by-products of petrol and how tar pits trap animals and people therein.

    There were once electrical vehicles during the turn of the century in America. But the Rockerfellers forced the whole world into using oil and gas.

    So I want that phased out sooner than later; because too many vaxxidents seem to occur recently and amateurs are allowed entry into certain countries and drive unsafely on roads.

  • I don’t understand this love

    Daily writing prompt
    Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

    20230610-1321. This word love has eluded me for many years. To me, love is more like tolerating differences, especially bad habits and other uncomfortable stuff.

    The only other positive example of where I’ve felt loved was the love coming from my parents. I really do NOT have the correct words to describe this love.

    But it’s nothing really, almost like it’s a given without asking but knowing that loved ones once loved me.

  • Hoarding at home for later on

    Daily writing prompt
    Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

    20230610-1313. I’ve hoarded at home. Cardboard boxes. Plastic bags. Small trinkets. That’s about it. Most seem to be useful later on, which is the basic premise for holding on the stuff!

    I have clutter for my computer desk work station. My master bedroom closet has old clothes I don’t wear and other heavy objects that I brought down from upstairs so that in the case of earthquakes the second floor won’t be burdened too much.

    About two dozen plastic storage carts, containers, and furnitures that store our junk. There are three bedrooms upstairs; so there are three closets to reduce clutter of clothes that we don’t use.

    Then there’s the kitchen cabinets storing supplies that I’ll probably never use, including old recipe books and food that I don’t cook but burn instead, mixing machine that I used to make birthday cakes and all sorts of dishes and cooking wares.

    Then there’s the garage with my dad’s stuff and that’s something else.

    I don’t know where to start. But we’ve been donating one at a time. The next one will be dad’s gasoline-powered lawn mower.
