Bug bomb. (I'm crying inside, but...) Bug bomb everything. OR... hear me out... OR Raise an army of spiders. Become Mother Arachnida. Conquer the God-abandoned earth with your fearsome powers.

I did learn about some makeup when my mother went to a workshop when I was a kid. To me it was like paint, so it was fun. Now men beauty product rises very quickly. And I won't be surprised if one day men have to wear makeup to work too. (I just hope to retire before that.)

Lemongrass oil helps if you can find one on the market!

Fear of spiders are the most common fear among humans. I'm sorry that you 'got shit' for expressing that fear. Humans, especially parents, are difficult to understand sometimes. I hope that spider is gone-- and the feelings that make you huddle in the corner have subsided. I am actually number 1 agent at the spider killing unit in my family (although I secretly love them because I am a sworn enemy with fruit flies, mosquitoes, and baby roaches), but I have this silly fear of height that I got called 'unmanly' and 'childish' for. I know sometimes people hurt you with the best of intentions. But the hurt you feel is still real.

Thanks Nic! Maybe it's too yummy and that's' why I am... a little too happy. Thanks! Yes, a slow pace now and then is good for me, I think.

Awesome and congrats. New records always give me the hype!

The fried stuffs are aubergine (I like this new word,) pumpkin, and carrots. (One fry from a kid's plate) Sympathy I was eating dinner with a friend's family. A professor dad who's struggling with a giant allergy-induced headache. A PhD student mom who is now in charge of everything. And a five year old who is too intelligent (and energetic) for his own parents' good.

Funny how brains work sometimes!

That's crazy good work out with intense warm up! Mindfulness is a little tough for me too, but you can do it!!

It's bright here and I feel down and unmotivated. Haha. We're in this together!

I had to skip work for half a day to go to the doctor. Apparently, I have been chewing ice and grinding my teeth as I work, so my jaw is inflamed. It threw off my schedule and made me feel grumpy all day (hence the sweets and comfort food). I went to bed at around 8 pm and I didn't work out. A bad habit here. Thursday Food 6:00 Black coffee 8:00 little fish, boiled egg with fish sauce, vegetable soup 12:00 Pork belly with rice, pickled veggies, boiled veggies 19:30 Pork curry over rice, jicama 20:00 Sticky rice and coconut cake. Exercise: 30 chin ups 30 push ups 30 squats I was so ready to work out after working late tonight, but the gym was closed early! So I worked out at home for a bit. I had been feeling tired and disappointed in myself as of late. I feel that I want some rest. Maybe the sickness yesterday helped me relax a little and regain my balance! I should get back on the work out though.

This is awesome! I don't know what it is, but I'm glad you're happy.

Appreciate working on yourself and taking care of the family at the same time. No wonder if you are tired once in a while. Giving you much mental support!

Quite an intense work out!

Sounds like a good strategies!

Happy belated birthday! I'm sorry to hear about the PTO though.

Haha, yeah, may be that's why it's foreign? Thank you. Mine too!... Maybe a little too much. Haha. I guess it's off-season mango. That's why, to an on-season one, it's PALE IN COMPARISON!! HA!! Nah it's actually because it's a variety. There are many varieties of mangoes in Thailand. Also, good to learn the name of the sausage! We call them 'kunchiang' because... reasons... Thank you! And yes... there are many types of sweet dumplings here and I love them all! True that! I haven't seen a purple tomato, but I can imagine one. Thanks, Nic!!

Purple eggplant, yes. This is the first time I have heard of the word aubergine. In Thai there is: Plate eggplant (aubergine) Long eggplant/purple eggpant (Chinese aubergine) Bunch eggplant (Turkey berry) Brittle eggplant (Thai egg plant) Foreign eggplant (Tomato) The last one is out of the left field, but hey, they are all in Solanaceae, so it's not really a big miss.

Thanks! So there is taro, purple sweet potato, black berries (frozen,) grapes, rose apples, red cabbages, and red onions. One of those!

You can do this! (Spoken by a man who spent 25 years in school... and now is still technically in one-- as a professor). You really can do this!!
