I was scrolling down on my entry list and just found out that I had a draft from November 2017. 😅 So, I got some editing a bit and added a blog graphic (this is my first time doing it in Ichigo Diary, I'm exploring Canva! 😊), and post it. ♡
Before I get into my strict business again (and it means that I'm in my spare time now), I'll try to make more entries to keep this blog alive. 😂
By the way, I'll be talking about the rainy season. ☂
In the rainy days, it can be a struggle to keep us being productive in our activities. Some of you may have no idea what to do because your agenda for going somewhere outside with your friends or family is canceled because of the rainfall. When you felt so enthusiastic about the event, it's not the best feeling ever to get it canceled. (._.)
So, I think it's better to enjoy the moment. (^_^)
But what can we do to enjoy the moment, especially when you're home alone in your house or your room? It may get boring.
For me, enjoying the moment means to be here and now, enjoy the moment, and enjoy the ride! Even when things seem to go wrong or don't match your expectation, let's try to embrace what still we have. Make it the most of it and being appreciative. :)
Because we're talking about enjoying the rainy day, let me share you some ideas. :3
1. Get some warm or hot food with sauce
The "sauce" refers to "Kuah" in Bahasa. 😋
Well, I know that it's back on your taste, some of you like food with sauce and some don't. I personally prefer the foods with sauce when it comes to what to eat on a rainy day. xD
You can have soups that warm your body and your heart, just like love. If it's not possible for you to cook it or get it ready by yourself, you can order them.
2. A Cup of Hot Chocolate Will Be Lovely
Or a cup of good coffee.
Or a cup of tea.
All is good, as long as it's hot. Why? Because you will eat some hot foods, so you want to have some hot drinks too. Pairing the hot foods with the cold drinks is not good, especially for your teeth. Remember how a glass can break when we pour something hot after something cold or reverse? Nah.
But after all, can you imagine your hands grabbing a cup of hot chocolate (or tea, or coffee, whatever you prefer), while you're staring at the window, looking at the rain falls? It cannot feel less than good, right? :)
And those drinks smell so good and relaxing tho.
3. Movie Marathon
Got some DVD? Or an internet connection? Play some movies and enjoy your time! Rewatch your favorite ones can't be boring, as long as they're your favorites. Or go checking if you have some playlist unwatched.
With the internet connection, you can go streaming and watch them online. Or you can visit Youtube, where you can find anything to watch and listen to, from music, movies, dramas, to makeup tutorials.
Oh, and some snacks will be good as your companion.
4. Take A Nap
Feeling happy because finally, you've got a free-time and relaxing day? Or, do you simply feel like want to do nothing but a reward to yourself for all those hard-working time? Just simply turn off the light, take your blanket on, and enjoy your quality nap-time. The symphony of the rainy day outside, the comfort air, and the relaxing smell of wet soils feel amazing.
5. Put On Your Single Item of Favourite Makeup And/Or Skincare
What? Put on a single favorite makeup? Yes! (^_^) But for makeup, you may want something with toned-down colors. For me, it can be my favorite peach-pink nude colors or a delicious lip balm. Also a delicate hand cream and a relaxing perfume or fragranced mist. Or you can simply wear and put any color or any skincare that makes you feel good to enjoy your time. After that, you can do point 1-3 and your rainy day is perfect. (^_^) And after all, when the rain stops, it's possible that the canceled planning because of the rain will go on again. So, it's better to prepare your best. :D
6. Have A Good Time with Your Pet :D
I have an orange cat that now become our family. His name is Charles, and he is so cute, adorable, funny, affectionate, lovable, everything! We're really happy to have him, alhamdulillah. :D When the rain is pouring, I talk to him. I even sing for him, lol. Well, not only on the rainy days, actually. XD It's a fun thing to release the stress, plus your pet is happy too. ♡
7. Have Some Good Books
A good book really can worth the time, trust me. Turn on your music playlist (oh, the sound of rain can be a relaxing backsound too), having a nice cup of coffee or choco, with your cat or dog is sleeping around, and you're ready to get on your adventure.
The list goes on and on, because there are a lot of fun things to do to enjoy the rainy season. So, if you have some ideas, feel free to put them into the comment box! I'll add more too when I get some insights. ♡
Have a good day, everyone.
