Phone Apps to achieve your goal?

Here I am blogging on the last week of my summer holiday.  As the new school year is starting, I am honestly feeling quite edgy about how things are going to be but however, I gotta keep the positive vibe within myself and with the people around me. This made me thought about how do I keep myself always motivated and be in good mental health throughout the 2020/2021 academic year? 

One night, I was scrolling on my Pinterest and found this interesting app called Fabulous. Click on the logo if you want to install it from Play Store.
fabulous – NoxPlayer
I found this app amazing! That's about it. These are simply the reasons why.
  1. Firstly, it will ask you what do you want to achieve? What are your goals? What habits do you want to have now to improve yourself? What would you like to focus on? Is it health? Work? Weight loss? So you may choose which type of goal that you would like to achieve. Basically, you will be given tasks or challenges to achieve your goals.
  2. Secondly, the user interface is really neat and nice. 
  3. Just amazing! I do not think I should say more.

However, in spite of how amazing the app is , the main downside for me about this app is the price. Unfortunately, I have decided to uninstall it because of how costly it is but if you are someone who does not know where to spend your money on, this app is worth the price :D

I am currently using another app called My Dreams in order to improve myself and to make sure I have good mental and physical health. So far, it made me started a gratitude journal where I will write three good things that I am grateful daily. Hopefully, I will be able to write more than three on some good days. Other than writing down your goals, reflecting on what went well and how can you improve, why not write from the little things to the biggest things that you are grateful for each day? I call the journal 'My Piece of Gratitude' journal. So far I am feeling a lot of positivity and hopefully I can go through this year smoothly.  Okay , that is all for now. Buh bye .

New Interest : Plants

Hello ! This is my first picture of my new babies. Welcome to my life 🌡
🀷🏽‍♀️So how I started this new interest?
I was cleaning my room then I found my old mini terrarium bowl was left unattended with a few pebbles and soil in it. My plants died in 2018 cause I left them for a week during the Horizons Trip  and forgot to tell my mom to water it everyday as it was the type that needs to be watered daily called Fittonia. Then I just stopped getting any new plants and focused on feeding stray cats.

Right , let's go back to my mini terrarium bowl again. So I got it cleaned then I thought what should I do with it? Should I get new plants? Then I remembered that I have a colleague who is a phytophilous ( a person who is fond of plants) and she always post her plants stories and pictures on Instagram . Sometimes her posts made me feel like I want to have plants but let's wait and wait cause I do not want them to die in my hands again. 

Then I texted the friend whom I have mentioned above and asked what plant is the best to put in this mini bowl? (Cause I was thinking of getting only one plant). Then she said "let's go to a plant nursery this Saturday." I agreed to that and brought these lovelies home πŸ’• .

We went to two plant nurseries that day and I feel so excited seeing my plants growing. New school year is starting in September. I feel excited but a bit nervous together and hopefully my plants will help me feel calm and relax when I look at them in my good and stressful days.

The wheel was missing and I was quite panicked because my next flight to Osaka was in the next three hours. Luckily , one of the airport's officer saw the damage and she said "You should report it to the Lost and Found department right over there" and showed me the direction to the Lost and Found department.

One of the Officers checked on my documents and the damage on the luggage. He said "Okay, we'll replace the bag" Yay ! What a relief and....

Ta.Daaaa... my new luggage ! So much bigger , stronger , unbreakable and most importantly , it's NEON PINK. Thank you Air Asia !

SALMON WITH BUTTER AND LEMON

Two weeks ago mom wasn't around. So the kitchen was mine!!! There were salmon in the fridge and I tried a recipe that I would like to share with you.  This is a recipe that I got from Facebook  and love how it tastes like ! It's simple but 'sehr gut' !



        Ingredients:

  • 3 fillets of salmon (or steaks)
  • 2-3 peeled garlic - finely chopped or mashed creamed
  • 125 grams of butter
  • 1/2 table spoon of thyme
  • A little bit of salt
  • A little bit of black pepper
  • 1 lemon- juiced/squeezed

     Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 180-190 degrees Celsius 
  2. Mix the butter, garlic, thyme, salt and black pepper ... add lemon juice, then mix together.
  3. Then grime the mixtures to the salmon. Arrange salmons in an oven proof container and pour excess marinade on.
  4. Put the salmon into the oven and wait until the fish is cooked.


     Sauce:



  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • A few sprigs of dill - finely chopped
  • A little salt
  • A little black pepper

    For your information, I was running out of some ingredients and did some substitution...

Mayonnaise - Greek Yogurt ( if you like the sour taste then it suits you. I like it!)
Thyme- Basil or any herbs you like
Lemon- lime
Dill- Rosemary or any herbs you like


ALL THE BEST !!!
