A-Z Challenge 2015 Theme Reveal!

My theme title is *drum rolls*




This March I have came up with a list of words early enough.
And they were stuff that matters but I didn't quite know how to sum it up into a theme title.
('Stuff that matters' is like a common blog post title on here.)

So the idea for this theme title came after Friday night when Nana went:

"Why you make so many sounds wan?"
(Or something to that equivalent.)

I tend to hum or make sounds rather than open my mouth and indulge in conversations a lot of times.
For sometimes words can't explain what a moment feels like.
Yet you just need to like, make some sound to express yourself.

It also applies to words you just don't have a response to.
The deep stuff.

I tend to lean my writings towards my response/reaction to things but I hope this round I'll be challenging myself to making up some stories for the words I have.

So what I would love readers to do, is to drop me a comment making the sounds that you felt reading my A-Z pieces.

Here's a link to the many sounds that we can actually make!
100-mostly-small-but-expressive-interjections

Happy A-Z-ing, everyone!



Frostbite!

Hahahahaha!
Yeap! Tingly numbness in all my fingers from the Target nail polish drying spray Nana helped me buy.

From the reviews I read online, I really wanted to see if it works with super thick and chunky nail polish. So I was putting on a base coat, a thin layer of angel color and red at the tips.
AND I blended the red down with thick layers of bluish specks until most of my surface was pink.

Then I sprayed.
It was already so thick that I didn't even put a layer of top coat because that would mess up my top coat brush.
It didn't feel really dry after the first round, just like lembik and dent probable.
So I kept spraying.
Then my fingers got numb.
I kept on going to the other hand.
And later I could see patches on the tip of my fingers where the color is different from being frost bitten.

But the drying spray freaking really worked to dry my nails!!
Doing them right before I went to bed yet waking up with them smooth with not a dent is sooooo amazing!

Now I have awesome pink galaxies to stare all day!

So the question is;
Am I willing to go through frost bite each time, just to get my nails dry fast?
This morning I woke up with pins and needles in both hands.
So...it's kinda scary to consider risking frostbite every time for the sake of nail polishes.

Eulogy

I'll miss your labours of love.
How you opened up your house and welcomed me in with the wonderful smells from the oven.
Always so loving and so kind, the peace keeper in the house.
You made it possible for everyone else to smile and laugh so easily.
Now they seem so incomplete without you here.

Aunt Shanta, R.I.P. 3rd March 2015



Lord, I don't understand Your ways today. Another good person taken up like that.
Three in a row seems so much to bear.
Take good care of them up there....

Ramblings for a day that could have been...

Had I visit Spike.
But at the price of the bridge fare and on a day that petrol price increased back...it just screams foolishness!
Something I'm trying to be less of this year.

Anyway..
I made my own chicken tenders!
Dipped in spiced flour, egg and oats.



Coating chicken requires a technique that I don't quite have yet.
It was a tad messy having oats stuck to your fingers.
Some parts of the coating just came right off the chicken when I turned them over midway being baked.
I actually should have flavor not just the flour but my oats too but looking at how pretty it turns out, I am satisfied.
And everything tastes better dipped in sauce.
