All you'll find on this blog are some of my own diary entries and photos taken at various points in my life, as well as life pictures, a summary of my life, and information about my perspective and the environment. I learned skills and participated in exchanges that helped me become a more balanced person. I do not spell or grammar check.
On a delightfully warm Sabbath afternoon, we assembled with the church members for our sundown worship service to conclude the Sabbath in a beautiful setting, outside of Surin's downtown. Since the majority of afternoon Sabbath services were held in the church, we hardly ever had our outdoor Sabbath late-noon worship.
Our first choice, a government-owned farm park, was pleasant, but as closing time drew near, we were asked to vacate. After that, we moved to a large lake area nearby that provided an incredible view.
It was nice to have the opportunity to breathe out and worship God at the end of the day while admiring His creation. I would describe it as nature-tripping, and the sensation of inhaling every clean air that touches your face was extremely relieving and soothing. I was glad the church had thought of it, and the kids were happy to roam around without having to worry about us adults constantly guarding them.
Those who came of age in the 1980s often reminisce about that time's exciting and vibrant nature. MTV was a groundbreaking force in entertainment, introducing new music and culture to the world. The 80s were a time of bold fashion statements and unique hairstyles that pushed boundaries. An iconic pastime for many was playing the popular video game, Super Mario Brothers, for hours on end. Shopping malls transformed into popular hangout spots for teenagers, offering a variety of activities and stores to explore. As the mid-1980s approached, a blending of creativity, technology, and commercialism resulted in a constant stream of new experiences and opportunities. Take a trip down memory lane and indulge in the colorful nostalgia of the 80s.
Scientists have proven over many years that memories are essential to humanity and serve four important functions.
1. Our identity is shaped by memories.
Our memories help us feel consistent, with the same individual (or identity) progressing over time.
They offer significant insights into our identity and aspirations.
2. Memories aid us in finding solutions to problems. "Recollections provide us with possible answers to present issues and offer guidance and direction while we navigate through them."
3. Our memories play a significant role in shaping our social interactions. Personal recollections are crucial for social engagements. Remembering personal experiences offers valuable content when building new friendships, establishing connections, and preserving existing ones.
4. Memories assist us in managing our emotions. Our memories serve as instances of past situations we have encountered. This enables us to consider how we handled that emotion previously and extract lessons from that particular event. Memories can assist in controlling intense negative feelings. For instance, if a person is feeling down, they can reflect on a happy memory to uplift their spirits.
Children who grew up in the 1980s often believe that they had a fantastic childhood. Many individuals from this era fondly recall running home from school every day to play video games, watch Nickelodeon, and indulge in snacks. They also remember waking up early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons.
The 80s were a time of unique, exciting, and fantastic experiences. As each year passed during the 80s, things became more extreme and focused on making money. Around the mid-80s, there was a powerful combination of innovation and commercialism. Many people mistakenly refer to the 1980s as the "Decade of Greed." The 80s indeed placed a strong emphasis on acquiring material possessions, progress, and a laid-back mindset. One of the reasons why individuals who lived through that era view the 80s as being strange, thrilling, marvelous, and enjoyable is because of this carefree attitude.
It has been a while since I last posted on my blog. My time for blogging has been taken up by the busyness of school and my enjoyment of watching videos on YouTube. I have noticed that blogging is no longer as popular as it once was, as platforms like TikTok, vlogs, Facebook, and Instagram have become the top priorities for many content creators.
Despite this, I still enjoy expressing my inner thoughts and feelings through doodles about various things, events, situations, and life.
I have been living and working in Thailand for quite some time now, but I still have a strong desire to return to Europe, particularly Poland. As I watch videos about Poland, I can see the improvements and new structures that have been built since I was last there in 2011 to 2012. The changes have greatly enhanced the image of Warsaw. The pictures below show some familiar landmarks that I remember from my time in Poland.
As a member of Generation X, I was exposed to traditional instrumental music commonly used as the background or theme music for radio and television shows. I have many beloved instrumental pieces, but I struggled to remember their titles until the advent of YouTube, which made it easier to find and listen to them online. These classic instrumentals evoke a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality, transporting me back in time and stirring up memories of the past. As someone prone to feeling emotional and nostalgic, I can't help but be moved whenever I encounter these tunes on social media platforms. One particular instrumental I adore is exceptional and deserves high praise.
