Friday Things


Hello scribblers,

How are you? How is life treating ya'll? What's going on lately?

For me, it is pretty usual- Get up in the morning, get ready for work, eat my breakfast, try to fight sleep at work, come back home and cook, watch Game of Thrones with dinner and then try to sleep early. I have been failing at that last part a lot.

I made some changes to the blog recently- I changed the header and also the default font for my blog. I also did a little tweaking in my template so now my posts titles are centered. I have to thank Dana, for her tutorials. They are really simple and easy to follow, and the small changes make a big difference. For creating the header, I used Canva. I love it- it's so easy to create images for my blog posts, icons or headers. For the fonts, I used free fonts from Google and imported them to my template. They have so many good fonts and it was so hard for me to choose. I initially had picked way too many, but thankfully they have a tool which shows the effect adding all those fonts has on the website load time and I ended up picking just three for now.

I have also started with some lifestyle changes- mostly diet changes. I am not following any of the famous diets, but I am trying to eat healthy in general and cut out junk as much as I can. One problem I face is lack of protein. I am not a vegetarian strictly, but most days I just am. I am looking for healthy protein alternatives for vegetarians so I don't have to rely so much on meat. I still need to work on my schedule to fit workout time.

I had my first roommate fight this week. No matter how hard you try, how good you try to be, these things are just inevitable, right?

I watched Avengers over the weekend- I love marvel movies!
I also finally watched that dreadful episode of Grey's Anatomy, and the even sadder one following that. I just hate it! I ended up crying for so long. Those who watch the show would understand.. I am not sure if I even wanna watch that show anymore.

Other than that, life just consists of routine, some boredom and online shopping. But, there's reading your blogs to brighten my day! I love to read your blogs, and sometimes I just miss catching up when things get busy. Sorry for that, and to make up I'll share some of cool things I found in our web world:
— This Westeros map, for the Game of Thrones peasants
— Love captured by a Korean artist
— This rational flowchart
— Lifestyle difference between New York and San Francisco
— A mug cake recipe
— Motivation to stop watching TV
— This man fighting his rapist
— What is Friend to you?
— Quadruple rainbow in New York
— Breakfast for dessert
— Super cute geeky kids
— Another reason to color
— Things your can do with embroidery

This weekend is mostly chores and hopefully sleeping in- unless something changes.
I hope you have a fun Friday and a great weekend!

    I love the coloring and the no TV thing. TV is my thing and sometimes it would be nice to escape from it.

    I have tried to that before, but TV is too addictive. :( gotta make more efforts I guess.

    Your blog looks good! I'm trying to be healthier at eating too, but no way am I depriving myself of goodies if I want them,. I've never watched Grey's it's one of those shows I wish I had started watching and now I feel like there is so many of them I'll never catch up!

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
