  • The app I can’t live without on my phone

    Best app in my phone

    Oh, that’s easy—it’s Google Maps,. I mean, I’d be completely lost without it—literally! I have the worst sense of direction, you know? Like, even in my own neighborhood, I’ve taken wrong turns. It’s embarrassing!

    But Google Maps is an amazing app.I use it for everything—finding the quickest route to work, checking traffic, even just figuring out where to eat. The other day, I was craving sushi, and boom—it showed me this little hidden spot five minutes away. Never would’ve found it otherwise!

    And even I don’t start traveling without it.  Last year, I was in Tokyo, and I used it allot there from  The public transit directions to beautiful hidden spots.  Plus, I love that you can save favorite places—like my go-to coffee shop or my friend’s apartment.

    Sure, it drains my battery, but hey, that’s what power banks are for, right? Honestly, if I had to delete every app except one  Google Maps is staying.

    The coziest way to enjoy rainy days at home

    My quick dinner recipe

    you ever get home after a long day and just cannot deal with cooking? Same. That’s why I make my quick pasta dish—it’s easy and still feels like a real meal.

    Okay, so here’s what I do: Boil some pasta (whatever shape you’ve got, no big deal). While that’s going, I heat up olive oil in a pan and toss in a bunch of minced garlic—like, way more than you think you need. Let it get kinda golden (but not burnt!), then add in some of tomato’s paste. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and if I’m feeling fancy, a pinch of red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for, like, five minutes while the pasta ready.

    Drain the pasta, mix it all together, and boom—dinner’s done. Sometimes I’ll throw in a handful of spinach at the end if I wanna feel healthy, but no pressure. Top it with cheese if you’ve got it (always tasty), and that’s it! Cheap, fast, and way better than cereal.

    Enjoy rainy days

    Oh, there’s nothing better than a rainy day at home when you can just lean into the coziness, you know? I mean, first things first—grab your softest blanket and your favorite sweats. Then, obviously, you would like to make a hot drink Tea, coffee, hot chocolate—whatever you o

    Alike! I’m a total tea person, so I’ll steep something herbal, maybe with a little honey, and just sip it while listening to the rain tap against the window.

    And oh the perfect rainy-day activity is baking something sweet, like cookies   It’s good combination to have any hot drink like tea or coffee  with cookies while enjoy rain looking outside by the window.  

       There’s something so comforting about the smell of cinnamon and sugar filling the house while it’s gloomy outside. Last time it poured, I made chocolate chip cookies, and just sitting there with a warm cookie and a book felt amazing.

    Honestly, the best part is the sound of rain, right? It’s like nature’s white noise. Sometimes I’ll even crack the window just a tiny bit to let in that fresh, rainy smell I really enjoy.

    A Kitchen Gadget

    If I had to pick one kitchen gadget I can’t live without, it’s gotta be my immersion blender. Seriously, I use that thing all the time—like, way more than I ever expected. I mean, I got it as a gift a few years ago and thought, “Eh, how often will I really use this?” Well, turns out… almost daily!

    It’s just so handy, you know? I’ll make soups, and instead of transferring hot liquid into a regular blender (which is always a messy disaster), I just stick this thing right in the pot—boom, creamy soup in seconds. And smoothies? So much easier to clean than a big clunky blender. Plus, I’ve even used it to whip up pancake batter when I was too lazy to grab a whisk.

    The best part? It takes up, like, no space. I keep it in a drawer, and it’s just there, ready to save the day. Honestly, if it broke tomorrow, I’d order a new one immediately. Some gadgets are just worth their weight in gold, you know?

    Organizing a Space

    You know, living in a tiny apartment can be tough, but it’s totally doable if you get a little creative. First off, decluttering is key—I mean, you’ve gotta be ruthless! If you haven’t used something in six months, well… maybe it’s time to let it go. Storage is your best friend, too. Think vertical—shelves, hanging organizers, even under-the-bed bins. I swear, I fit half my stuff under there!

    Multipurpose furniture is useful. My couch folds out into a bed, and my coffee table? It’s got hidden storage inside. right? And mirrors—they make any space feel bigger. I stuck a big one on my wall, and suddenly, my living room didn’t feel so cramped.

    Oh, and don’t forget to use your walls! Hooks, pegboards, floating shelves—they save so much floor space. Honestly, the biggest trick is just staying organized. A few minutes a day keeps the chaos away. Trust me, once you figure it out, small spaces can actually feel pretty cozy.

    Summer’s My Absolute Favourite season Here’s Why!

    No heavy jackets, no freezing mornings—just warm breezes and long, lazy days. And the best part? No school! Well, at least when I was a kid, summer meant freedom. Sleep in, ride bikes with friends, stay out till the streetlights came on… those were the days!

    Now, even as an adult, summer just feels different. There’s something about backyard BBQs, mangoes   ice-cold lemonade, and that smell of sunscreen that instantly puts me in a good mood and on the beach I really enjoy digging my toes into sand, listening to waves crash… pure happiness. It gets hot sometimes—like, “why did I even step outside?” hot—but that’s what pools and ice cream are for! Plus, summer nights are amazing  Sitting outside with friends, watching fireflies .

    Thats why I love it. 

    My Favorite Local Market and What I Buy There

    Most memorable trip

    Oh, my most memorable trip that’s gotta be when I went to Bali a couple of years ago. I mean, I’d seen pictures and heard all the hype, but actually being there was something else. The second I stepped off the plane, the air just smelled different—warm and kinda sweet, you know?

    The best part was this tiny beach I stumbled upon while renting a scooter. I got a little lost (okay, really lost), but then I turned down this random road and—bam!—there it was: pure white sand, crystal-clear water, and barely anyone around. I just sat there for hours, listening to the waves, feeling like I’d found serene atmosphere.

    And the food? It was truly wonderful. I ate a lot of nasi goreng and fresh mango—probably more than I should have! One evening, I tried an unusual-looking fruit at a local market. It was durian, and its smell was  strong. But… Honestly, it wasn’t just the place—it was how free and happy I felt there. No schedules, no stress, just exploring and soaking it all in.

    Local market

    Oh, I love my local market—it’s this lively little place just a few blocks from my apartment. Every Saturday morning, rain or shine, I grab my tote bags and head over. The moment I walk in, the smell of fresh bread i really  like 

    First stop? The fruit stall where i usually grab some mangoes, maybe a few apples, and—if I’m feeling fancy—a big, juicy pineapple. Next, I swing by the bakery. I get some fresh bread and I also grab a couple of croissants because, well, why not?

    Oh, and I have to visit the spice vendor. His little shop is like a treasure chest—colorful jars everywhere, and the aroma is insane! Last time, he convinced me to try this new chili powder, and wow, it’s spicy… but in the best way.

    I buy some vegetables like potato, carrots, onions and some more.

    Honestly, it’s not just about shopping—it’s the great way to connect neighbours.

    My hobby

    Everyone has something they enjoy doing in their free time. For me, my favorite hobby is reading. It may sound simple, but it brings me peace and joy.

    When I read, I get lost in the pages. I love novels, history books, science facts, and real-life stories. Each book takes me to a new world.

    Reading helps me relax after a busy day. It also improves my vocabulary and speaking skills. Sometimes, I share stories with my friends—it’s fun!

    Books teach me new things and help me understand different world. They make me think and grow. That’s why I read every day, even if it’s just for a little while.

    Daily routine

    so my daily routine is pretty simple, but it helps me stay productive.

    I usually wake up around 7AM sometimes 7:30, I’m not perfect! First, I wash my face, brush my teeth, and drink some water. Then, I have breakfast—something quick like toast  

     eggs or cereal with a cup of tea.

    After breakfast, I start working or studying. Mornings are my best time for focus, so I try to do important tasks early. By 1 PM, I take a lunch break—maybe rice and veggies or a sandwich. And yes, I take a short nap after eating. 20 minutes, max! I’m not a robot; I need rest too.

    In the afternoon, I finish my work or do some reading. If I feel tired, I take a 5-minute break—maybe stretch or check my phone (I know, bad habit!).

    Around 6 PM, I go for a short walk or do light exercise. Nothing crazy, just enough to feel fresh. Then, dinner—sometimes I cook, sometimes it’s leftovers.

    After dinner I relax with family, watch YouTube, or read. I try to review what I learned that day.

    I sleep around 10:30 PM—unless I get stuck on my phone (oops!).

    That’s it! Not perfect, but it works for me.
