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

  • Keeping busy

    Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

    20230429-0118. I decided that since I’ve got nothing better to do, have all the time in the world, and frankly I’m plagued with boredom, I made the most of what I got and that’s to keep busy by doing nothing!

    I mean really – there’s house chores, caregiving and the like. I’ve learned to just stay home and mind my own business, being an introvert, of course.

    And most of the time I blogged by parroting others. None of my stuff made sense anyways. And so here I am doing the same thing as before, only with more knowledge and better tools.

    Along the way, I’ve accepted that it’s better to do something than nothing at all.

  • Can’t think of one

    Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

    20230413-1747. I can’t think of one positive change that I have made in my life, except dwell on countless errors and omissions of mostly negatives.

    Everything seems perfectly in place. So I don’t need to act upon any changes that’s already been written in my Book of Life.

  • Dancing to oldies

    What’s the most fun way to exercise?

    20230412-0924. For the past months, I’ve been organizing my mp3 music, most of which were Ripped by DADDJ and which were purchased via Amazon, BandCamp, and elsewhere online.

    I had fun and difficulty figuring out how the Music app organized my music and so I bought the Tag Editor app which made organizing (Title, File Name (which were OLD and VERY long descriptions), and at least the Track numbers) my music easier.

    After all that was “cloned” in my folders, I pulled up a nice non-stop medley of oldies, which were originally on one of those vintage cassette tapes. My parents and I used to dance to those songs.

    Anyways, I managed to locate the entire albums for FREE via Archive.org! The recording artists were a handful of Chinese karaoke singers and probably various artists from the Philippines. The voices of the guys were VERY good in impersonating Elvis Presley. But one female voice was too “bright” and piercing. Another female voice was probably “Islander” and hit the high notes pretty good.

    So yeah, dancing to non-stop medleys of oldies is probably a good way to exercise. That’s all.

  • The Bible

    What book could you read over and over again?

    20230411-0014. If the Bible is truly the word of God, then I have no choice but to re-read these books over and over again.

    I’ve read about ancient battles and many giants fighting. That’s about it.

  • Wonder Woman

    If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

    Yup. That was the only popular fictional superhero character that I walked to be.

    While we lived in an apartment in the Seven Trees area of San Jose, California, I barely recall pretending to be Wonder Woman.

    I barely recall cutting out pieces of cardboard paper as the golden bracelets and blocking invisible bullets.

    But that’s about it.

  • Unseen forces unheard

    What’s something most people don’t understand?

    Nobody cares to hear dreams or visions or observations about ghosts unseen or unheard by others.

    Most would NOT believe in an invisible GOD and ultimately pay the price with insanity for “acting out” imaginations that are unnatural and basically unholy and realizing that everything is designed with intent and purpose or punishment to say the least.

  • I had NO dreams

    When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

    Actually, I really did NOT know what I wanted to be when I grew up. Fast forward, I still don’t know what I-AM or how does one soul decide when “it” wakes up to be a certain person with certain skills and talents or to pursue career choice or how enduring rigorous studying would accomplish anything MEANINGFUL in life. Yup.

  • Any slapstick humor

    What makes you laugh?

    I’d hate to laugh at anyone’s demise, pain or suffering. But recently I’ve been watching videos of humanz getting in all sorts of trouble and getting hurt and others involved in stupid/crazy NPC stuff!

    Yeah so it depends on the delivery of the jokes and contents, too.

  • A child is NOT a thing

    If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

    Naming a child after me (depending superstitious belief of naming someone dead or alive).

    So far a “thing” could be any sports ball product. Now that would be profitable! Get you FLYNNT balls while supplies last!

  • Eyeballs & overall demeanor

    Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

    I normally do NOT engage in conversation because each soul has a story and lots of opinions.

    So what I look for are the “feelings” of the person by the look off their eyeballs and overall demeanor.

    I could see if the person is “shifty”, uninterested, irritated, or joking. But for the most part, I also consider mannerism as a vital aspect of one’s demeanor.

    It’s more than an observation but of a “sense” of something is off or if the person is hiding something.

  • Undisciplined version

    What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

    I used to be good about morning rituals but recently I’ve been lazy about making my bed, washing up, and getting dressed.

    There are only two acrylic blankets to fold, six baby pillows as ear mufflers, neck supporters, and one long pillow for hugging or keeping warm.

    Washing up is a necessary. But I’ve been wearing my pajamas while getting in front of the computer.

    Oh I forgot I’d added a new ritual of thanking GOD for another god night and good day and praying for protection against the wickedness and smarts of the Devils.

    In summary, open my eyeballs, thank god, open my south-facing bedroom window’s wooden blinds, run to use the toilet, read my emails and news, getting dressed or opening the other three wooden windows blinds, the back door to sit out the downstairs, and bird cage cover to greet our two pet parakeet birds.

    Then I’d make my morning coffee: grind 1/4 cup of caffeinated organic whole coffee beans, boil bottle water, and then brew my freshly ground coffee with a French press device for a couple of minutes and add my organic chocolate syrup and organic half and half milk. I do NOT use extra sugar and my drink still doesn’t have that nice creamy and sugary taste that I do much crave!

    Then I return to my home desktop computer to work. Yup.

  • Quietly and calmly

    How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

    For there most part, I’ve stayed indoors and minded my own business.

    I don’t go out much and really do NOT talk to anybody, except some “friends” and strangers online.

    When I do go out, I have to be extra careful about driving by slowing down and being extra vigilant for anxious/undivided motorists who are also getting used to driving back to normal.

    But the easiest way to cope is: the internet! And that includes blogging here, answering daily prompts, tweaking my blogs, reading online news, watching videos online, listening to podcasters, and learning new baking/cooking recipes since I got paranoid about dining / eating out!
