typically i don’t talk about the gifs that i make for myself but i am in a chatty mood so we’re have a socratic seminar right now.
also, before i get started, you can use these headers if you’d like! literally everything you see on this blog are freebies tbh. just a forewarning that the cas one is not the standard 640 px width because i was experimenting with something so just...be mindful of that <3 no need to credit unless you feel inclined to! just know i spent...quite awhile on them xx
i get most of my ideas for spn gif headers by seeings gifs on the tl that make me go “you know what? this would make for a great header” and run with that. i do pray that the op put the season and episode in the tags and if they don’t...SHH don’t laugh but if i’m desperate enough, i actually go through the tags to see if any hardcore stan knows the exact szn/ep. other times, i write some scenes down in my journal that i think would be great but again, those written down are definitely from scenes i saw in gifsets. call me unoriginal idc i’m just making things that make me happy and i know would be hella sexy.
let’s talk about how fucking LONG it takes to down/load an episode of supernatural like....i deadass spent five hours downloading plucky pennywhistle’s magical menagerie and around three hours to download the man who would be king....is it just best to t/orrent the whole ass season or WHAT like i’m deadass about to do that for any spn gifs i wanna make because that ajsdajksldjksla RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY. i’m not even that mad like it humbles me and it shows how dedicated i am to the craft. if anybody has tips for t/orrenting old spn episodes, please hmu because i would like to make more content in the future but this is a big hurdle on why i hesitate to create content for this show (among other things BUT this is one of the biggest reasons). you could have the fastest wifi speed the world has to offer pero if that bitch has no seeds...
for the castiel header: i had three different colorings for him. i really wanted to bring out his eyes because that is what drew me to make the header in the first place. y’all know that as a gifmaker, i really like making my gifs warmer and using pale/aesthetic coloring is so out of my wheelhouse and not my forte...but i do try to branch out of my comfort zone. back to the eyes, i went through a lot of psds, tinkering with their settings, and came out with three of them: the warm one that i did end up using and two pale-ish ones. the other third one isn’t here because i ultimately determined that it’s basically this one here but a lot lighter. the coloring made cas almost a ghost so i’m like...we still need to keep SOME of his skin tone even if it’s a lack thereof...okay, the reason why that this one doesn’t have the typical 640 px dimension is because i wanted to keep...how do i say this...i wanted to keep some of his facial structure? because the scene is really focused on cas’ face so it’s the entire frame. because tumblr is the way it is, it cuts at a weird spot where he looks like that bitch from doctor who all stretched out. so in an attempt to prevent that, i made it in this dimension where it’s basically me free handing the crop but ultimately it didn’t do anything lol. so i basically went back and made an entirely new gif with one of the colorings i saved and ta-da!
for the sam header: going in, i knew it was going to be a dark lit scene. i knew i had specific spn colorings that have been useful for shows outside of supernatural so i was like...i mean, tried and true, eh? i went through about six colorings until i finally settled on like...four. the first two of the six, though colorful, really made sam’s skin a bit...washed out. the next two were...basic. one of those basic coloring was the dark spn coloring and though it looked okay, there wasn’t any flavor to it. if i can be colorful in a gif, i will definitely climb up that tree. i love and admire vibrant gifs so if i can do that, oh man, it’s such a fun feeling because it’s like WOW i actually did that! then there were two colorings that were really, REALLY good because one of them was vibrant but it also had a subtlety to the gif. the other one was vibrant and brought out the blue in the background. it was a hard decision but i did save both of them and was like well, this is a problem for future me. i was actually surprised that the glitter on sam’s jacket and shirt didn’t up the mb because it definitely had me worried there. i also thought about making this gif header as another scene but realized it was a little too short for my liking (it was when he was surrounded by clowns but they magically disappear into thin air, leaving glitter in their wake). really love how this gif turned out :)
and yeah, that’s all i got to say about them. everything went smoothly with the sharpening, no problems on that front...i thought about opening up my inbox for suggestions of what scenes i should gif pero i’m afraid that 1) nobody will respond, 2) i will get some strange requests, or 3) i will get a lot of them. i would love to create more but i am like..creatively stuck. i don’t typically make those fancy edits with templates, i am more of a practical gifmaker aka i just stick to the original material. who knows...maybe i’ll be pushed and motivated...thanks for taking the time to read this !!

What Is The Cheapest Roof To Install
"Roofs come in a wide variety of colors and materials, but what is the cheapest roof to install? Choosing a new roof for a home is an intimidating experience because there are so many available materials. Most people select some type of asphalt shingle, as they are the least expensive to date. While asphalt shingles allow homeowners with a tight budget to get a new roof at a lower cost, they have issues that some more expensive materials don't have. In the long run, the cheapest materials for roofing can accumulate rather large maintenance costs, making them not so cheap after all.
Often, it is the initial investment in the cost of roof replacement that concerns homeowners. This is, after all, a significant investment of $10,000 or more. Numbers that high can scare those with limited savings into cutting corners and buying less expensive shingles. You get what you pay for with shingles for roofs. Cheap roofing shingles can come back and haunt a homeowner later, while expensive materials for roofing can deplete a savings account and leave the homeowner without a safety net for quite some time.
Here is a list of five commonly used shingles for roofs:
Asphalt Shingles - The answer to what is the cheapest roof to install is asphalt shingles. This is the most commonly used and least expensive of roofing shingles. Coated asphalt shingles also meet Energy Star requirements, earning homeowners a significant tax rebate, reducing the cost of roof replacement, and providing home energy savings. Architectural or laminated shingles are thicker and more expensive than the standard three tab asphalt shingles. For a typical ranch style home, installing asphalt shingles and removing the old roof can run at least $8,000. Asphalt roofs last for 20 to 30 years, but insurance companies start to balk at insuring a home when the age of the roof begins to approach 20 years, making it difficult to find home insurance at a reasonable rate.
Wood Shingles - Known for their natural appearance and aesthetic appeal, wood shingles are more expensive than asphalt. Installing a wood shingle roof on our typical ranch style home can cost $14,000. Wood roofs require frequent maintenance, are susceptible to fires, and only last 20 years. For a wood shingle look without the maintenance and fire danger, some homeowners are turning to synthetic shingles that look like wood. These synthetic materials are even more expensive, at $18,000 for the typical ranch home.
Metal Roofs - These are most appropriate for roofs with very steep or flat roof lines. The lower end galvanized steel roof materials are relatively inexpensive considering their life span. For $16,500, you can have a metal roof professionally installed and expect it to last from 50 to 75 years. Metal roofs are durable and long lasting, requiring little to no maintenance.
Slate Shingles - These are very popular shingles for roofs in the Northeastern United States, where slate is quarried. Slate is very durable, and can last up to 50 years. Synthetic slate materials are available for less money, but they are less durable as well. Depending on the quality of the slate, professional installation of a slate shingle roof on a typical ranch home can cost as much as $84,000. A synthetic slate roof, by comparison, will cost about $19,000.
Tile Shingles - These shingles are very characteristic of the Southwest United States and areas that have Spanish colonial architecture. Tile roofs cost upwards of $21,000. Ceramic clay can cost as much as $63,000, but comes with a 75 year warranty.
So what is the cheapest roof to install? The answer, in the short term, is asphalt. Coated asphalt shingles can earn an Energy Star rebate to make them more affordable, and will save on heating and cooling costs."

Day 3: Hanoi to Halong Bay/ Lan Ha Bay
I still can’t sleep to the alarm which is set for 7 but Kerran can. So instead I wake at 6 and make my first blog post you saw a few days ago. At 7:15 we tie up our running shoes and do 3 laps around the lake. We run slow at around 8:30 miles, but the air is thick with humidity and I’m just getting back to running shape. In fact, I may be getting slight shin splints. I’m impressed we’ve now run twice on vacation and it’s nice to go together.
After showering and packing up a bit we head to breakfast. No Vietnam English newspaper today. I was enjoying that as it’s interesting to see how people who love hear view the world. There is far more articles about small European countries and happenings. Obviously there’s more about Vietnam to, like an upcoming visit from the Dutch PM (I think?) and how they can learn more about climate change practices etc from them.
Kerran manages to have half the menu for breakfast—an egg muffin, an omelet, baguette toast, one of my hard boiled eggs, muesli, yogurt, fruit, donuts. I can run on an empty tummy so I’ve had a ONE bar already (the peanut butter ones are delicious) that I’ve brought from home. I have some tea, a hard boiled egg and a small dish of cornflakes to get me through lunch. I am loving the portion sizes (though they aren’t always small!!). Kerran clearly loves breakfast. Me, I’d prioritize dessert, but I’m sure that doesn’t surprise anyone!
At 9:15 we meet Tsoi for our two hour drive to halong bay. As always, Kerran dozes off while I stare at the green landscape and draft these posts. It reminds me of how my mom would doze off between animal sitings when we went on Safari. There is an unimaginable amount of construction on the outskirts of Hanoi. At one site alone there are probably thousands upon thousands of apartments being constructed for the ever expanding population and more cranes than either of us have ever seen in one place!
Tumblr media
We arrive at the new port, it’s nothing like the serene photos you see in Pinterest. It’s a pretty gross site with makeshift offices, containers, and cranes. It’s industrial. Four couples sit in the waiting room for Heritage Cruise line’s Ginger boat. I play a game with myself guessing where they are from. (I got two of three correct—Quebec and Connecticut)
The 8 of us take a small boat equipped with big bright orange life vests for a short speed boat trip to the Ginger. We take the grand stair case to the third floor dining room where were briefed by Min, one of the staff, on safety and the jam-packed program ahead. We unpack in our Junior Suite which is quite large (and beautiful) for a boat. The boat itself is a new build, it’s been out for about a year or so and it’s stunning. At lunch we’re joined by a tour group from Canada. Lunch is absolutely beautifully presented, and it’s a multi course meal of sea food—soup, salad, spring rolls, a main and dessert. Luckily portions are small so I can taste it all.
Tumblr media
As we make our way around Cat Ba archipelago, the scenery is more and more stunning with karst “mountains” reaching 50-100m on all sides. The limestone makes the water a beautiful green. We pass an old lighthouse which is more house line in actuality, while we eat. While the area is famous for Halong Bay, we are actually on the adjacent Lan Ha Bay which has the same scenery, fewer tourists, less garbage and some surviving house boats.
Tumblr media
Our first stop is on Cat Ba island, the second largest island of Vietnam and the largest in this archipelago. There are 367 islands in the archipelago. Our guide tells us that Cat Ba means “women’s land.” We sail about 3/4 around it and take our smaller motorized shuttle boat to Viet Hai, a small village on the south east coast. In fact, Viet Hai means “Vietnamese who live in the sea.” Here we get on beach cruiser bikes for a short 3k ride to Tai Lai town. We pass goats, cows, farms, and of course limestone. When we arrive in town, our guide gives us a short lesson. She tells us that about 10,000 people live on Cat Ba, mostly in Cat Ba Town. There are about 1000 people in floating houses. In this town there are 300-400 residents but many are not there now—some are off fishing and those who are in secondary school are at a boarding school in Cat Ba Town, which is about 45 minutes away by boat. We learn that Cat Ba has one small hospital in town, staffed by nurses and no doctors. For this reason, the locals of this village tend to gravitate toward natural medicines.
Up until 10 years ago this village did not have electricity and relied on batteries and generators. Until 2-3 years ago there was no tourism. Tourism has provided more economic opportunity for this small village.
We walk around the village starting with the burial sites, where families are buried together. Here it’s custom that three years after a parents death the oldest son will dig up the body, clean the bones and then rebury the bones. (I’m really glad we don’t have this custom). Lychee trees are planted nearby the graves as they believe that ghosts are attracted to the fruit and that by planting these trees the ghosts stay away from the homes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We walk through the garden where peanuts are growing, as well as Papaya trees, green beans etc. Mai, our guide also informed us about the native animals here—the Black Kite or small sea hawk that we see from the boat and the Langurs and Gibbons like we saw in the rescue center yesterday. The Cat Ba white headed langur is one of the top 25 most endangered primates in the world and lives only on Cat Ba—it has been here since the island separated from the mainland due to tectonic activity. There are about 60 left on the island. The island itself is a National Park that protects the langurs but prior to this they were hunted because many believed their brains and bone had medicinal properties. Unfortunately we don’t see any primates today.
We do meander our way to a local home where a man is chopping a tree endemic to Car Ba island. It’s believed to have medicinal properties like Keri g away cancer and is evidently good for your health. They use it to make tea. We also see how they ferment their own rice wine—a little jarring to see what we’d use for gasoline to make wine! We get to try some of the tea and the rice wine which is surprisingly not so bad. Kerran is the only one out of all 24 of us brave enough to taste the snake rice wine!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We bike back to the small port and board the Ginger again and have just enough time to freshen up before a cooking demonstration. This is probably the only time I’ll blow dry my hair the whole trip and it feels so luxurious. The ridiculous heat and humidity of Vietnam has otherwise confined my hair to a pony tail. This is the first time I’ve seen my hair frizz in ages!
Before dinner a small group of us attend the cooking demonstration where they are making green papaya and shrimp salad (Kerran has beef). They use so many herbs and spices which explains the delicious and complex flavorings. The salad itself has green mango, jicama, shredded carrot and cucumber, onion, mint, cilantro and more. The dressing has sweet chili sauce, chilis, fish sauce (always!), sugar, garlic, rice vinegar. We get hands on and learn to plate and sprinkle our creations with peanuts and sesame.
Dinner is more meat based and not quite as good as lunch was but still tasty. After dinner we try our hand at squid fishing (and fail) but see some cute butterfly looking fish (dragon fish?). There is a screening of Top Gear’s Vietnam episode which I manage to catch some (but not all) of as I’m getting so sleepy! Upon return to our room there are ginger (of course!) chocolates on our pillows. Within moments I’m asleep, managing to clock a full 8 hours for the first time this trip!

Transcript of the messages that Jennifer received on Friday and Saturday.  Now she has returned to ghosting.  But two blue checkmarks indicate the following transcript has all been received and read by Jennifer.  This message is confirmed to be received into her phone.  (Translated to English from original Spanish) for full English and Spanish transcript, :
https://kroabot.tumblr.com/post/620410222933114880/64-126-am-kurt-hello-i-had-coronavirus-in
[6/4, 1:26 AM] kurt: Hello, I had coronavirus in April, that's why I behaved so strangely.  I am recovering now.
 [6/4, 1:59 AM] kurt: You only speak to me, in this whatsapp, for drug traffickers and extortionists.
 [6/4, 2:04 AM] kurt: And human traffickers.  And Arab terrorists.  This whatsapp is not my type of social group.
 [6/4, 2:06 AM] kurt: You loved my beard and my eyes, the first day you met me.  So someone made you a racist fanatic.  And you hated me, and you thought I was ugly after that.  And you said, I was crazy.  Because I believed everything you said.
 [6/4, 2:09 AM] kurt: This is like a hate crime.  Show the gringo that he is crazy and worthless.  After going to Bolivia with all the sweaters.  With a man you really love.  How am I supposed to react?  Now your lover wants to send you to me again?  Or those three Venezuelans, who came to rob me at midnight, at the previous hotel in April?
 [6/4, 7:38 PM] kurt: Are you French from North Africa?  I started meeting French people from North Africa in Paris, after you left.  On twitter.  I have to use translate to communicate in French.
 [6/4, 7:41 PM] kurt: After I accepted that you were gone.  I wanted to meet more people, like you.  And Allah guided me to the French Africans.  And I thought "Jennifer said her father was French"
 [6/4, 7:44 PM] kurt: I had some interactions with French from North Africa.  Muslim and Christian, living in France.  These Latinas are racist with me.  I am preparing to leave, but it is a slow preparation.
 [6/4, 7:48 PM] kurt: I like your African French side, Jennifer.  I don't like that you agree with Latinos.  That white man is not for family, marriage, or love.  But only by acquiring money and property, and then moving on.  I don't like racist Latinos, they steal from me and say I'm mentally ill to apologize.  But I could find love in the French community in Africa haha
 [6/4, 7:51 PM] kurt: "There's no one like Jennifer," I said to myself.  Then Allah directed me to the French community in North Africa.  It is called the Maghreb, historically?  Let's act like we're polite, not Latino bandits.  You are an educated African French.
 [6/4, 8:30 PM] kurt: My main regret, after you left.  I did not invite you and Valeria to pray the salat prayer with me.  By the saying "families that pray together stay together"
 [6/4, 8:31 PM] kurt: I also envisioned holding a "skills assessment workshop" with you to determine how your education could help expand the business internationally.
 [6/4, 8:37 PM] kurt: A group of people wants you to remain vulnerable and easy to control.  Always ready to cheat and extort money for them.  Does it make you feel important?  How is stability established so that Valeria can have an education?
 [6/4, 8:43 PM] kurt: I'm calmer now.  I already had coronaviruses in March and April, and I recovered.  He was not sleeping because he knew that he was vulnerable to death from coronavirus.  I did not let you take the kettle, because that was for eucalyptus and honey tea.  The virus attacked my brain, heart, lungs, arteries, and left an injury.  That's the reason, he was acting crazy, and he didn't sleep.  I knew I was vulnerable, dying from the virus.
 [6/4, 8:48 PM] kurt: French makeup artists.  A special education college student.  Political Sciences.  French Africans are intelligent professional girls.
 [6/4, 8:49 PM] kurt: My main regret, after you left.  I did not invite you and Valeria to pray the salat prayer with me.  By the saying "families that pray together stay together"
 [6/4, 8:52 PM] kurt: French Africans live in Quebec, Canada.  And in France and Senegal.  Different countries in North Africa.  I can be good friends with African girls.  But you don't behave like an African.  You were a Latina, who thinks that white men are mentally ill, trash.  Latinos steal from me and then say, "You are mentally ill."  And all Latinos agree.  They have the hearts of demons and are more evil than animals.
 [6/4, 8:54 PM] kurt: I had African friends before.  They didn't act like racist Latinos, they were respectful.  One blocked me because he wanted me to fly to Zambia and marry her in a week.  Then she blocked me, because I couldn't get on a plane right away.
 [6/4, 8:55 PM] Jennifer: You love me
 [6/4, 8:57 PM] kurt: I didn't remember, I have a numb forehead.  From praying salat for 8 years.  And you looked at it in disgust.  So I should look for a Muslim, a French African woman.  Who will not ridicule me for my beard and my mark of prostration?  haha
 [6/4, 8:59 PM] kurt: I think I'm in love with you.  He could barely cope with life, in March and April.  But the virus attacked my brain for 4 weeks.  I'm happy you weren't there.  I had hallucinations
 [6/4, 9:01 PM] kurt: I knew your friends, they made you hate me.  You no longer complimented my eyes.  Or you wanted me to shave.  You were not the same, the day I met you.  I can't dedicate myself to someone who hates me.  Because of my religion and race.
 [6/4, 9:03 PM] kurt: I fell in love and didn't worry if they were cheating on me or not.  It is better to live and love, even if it results in disaster.
 [6/4, 9:05 PM] kurt: Should I redirect my attention to someone who also cares about me?  You just loved my eyes and my beard, for a day or two.  You lost interest in me every time you went back to your friends.  They hate the white man, and they hate seeing a black woman, with a white man.  When you're supposed to get property from tourists, for your racist gang.
 [6/4, 9:08 PM] kurt: I fell in love with you so much that I no longer remembered any woman, that left me in the past.  I felt the best I have ever felt with you.  And I felt close to dying, when you left.  That is not good for my health.  The virus hurt my heart, I don't need any more heart pain, from someone, thinking I'm a joke of mental illness.  That is only to excuse the abandonment and the lie.
 [6/4, 9:09 PM] Jennifer: I love you baby
 [6/4, 9:09 PM] kurt: I was a joke to you and your racist gang of friends.  But I learned a lot from you and I have new interests and objectives since I met you.
 [6/4, 9:12 PM] kurt: We build a vision of a future together.  I was so excited to start building a future.  I didn't know you were distracting me to get the sweaters, that I didn't care.
 [6/4, 9:12 PM] kurt: Chompas is rubbish haha
 [6/4, 9:13 PM] kurt: When I go to Paris and the Middle East, God willing, there will be better fabrics and textiles to work with.
 [6/4, 9:14 PM] kurt: I know it's because I'm 20 years older than you.  Socially and economically, it seems that I have no potential.  Especially in the eyes of racist Latinos, who hate and envy the white man.
 [6/4, 9:17 PM] kurt: They envy you and hate you too, because you have a better education and potential.  But racist Latinos don't need an educated black woman.  They want a petty extortionist, to bring the gang's property, from the tourists.  I'm not even a tourist, I'm a separated father, and my daughter was kidnapped 7 years ago.  And I have a broken spirit, but I am educated and have professional skills.
 [6/4, 9:17 PM] kurt: I love you, :(
 [6/4, 9:19 PM] kurt: It reminded me of my life, before my daughter was kidnapped.  By Peruvian Mormons.  Now I see, Pentacostals and Mormons are gangs of human trafficking and spiritual abuse.  But they are two different types of spiritual abuse.  I enjoyed a bit of the pentacostal spiritual abuse.  haha
 [6/4, 9:23 PM] kurt: I don't know if you did that.  Or a pentacostal pastor, but I got very disoriented from the spiritual attack.  Maybe your congregation collectively attacked me, psychic spiritual attack.  It was different from Mormon spiritual abuse.  Pentacostal spiritual abuse is like an electric shock to my brain.  Mormons do it differently, they project toxic energy into your psyche.  I appreciated that pentacostal spiritual abuse does not involve as much toxicity in the attack.  He was less mentally ill and had a clearer mind, after Pentacostal Remote Psychic Shock Therapy.
 [6/4, 9:25 PM] kurt: I have a lot of experience with spiritual abuse.  I left Mormon and converted to Islam.  I know the predatory nature of pentacostals and mormons.  You said you were Catholic when I met you.  But when you said Pentacostal later, I started to worry.
 [6/4, 9:27 PM] kurt: First my brain received a spiritual attack.  Then, in March and April, the virus attacked my brain.  But my mental illness improved.  My mind is clearer.  Unfortunately, the coronavirus damaged the tissue of my heart.  And occasionally I have pain in my heart.
 [6/4, 9:30 PM] kurt: very pretty and cute Jennifer drinks
 [6/4, 9:30 PM] kurt: Pentacostal spiritual abuse was like electro-shock therapy.  For my mental illness PTSD.  Then the virus attack corrected my epilepsy.  Instead of making it worse.  That is Allah at work, where difficulties become a blessing.
 [6/4, 9:31 PM] kurt: You made me feel loved, for enough days.  I remember what to fight for.  So even if you don't love me, I know I should find someone who loves me.  Because life felt so much better when you were there for such a short time.
 [6/4, 9:37 PM] kurt: Maybe the pentacostals are like Mormons.  My own daughter helped pay for me to be killed.  So you can have the life insurance money.  I love my daughter, but I saw the life insurance documents.  She is disappointed that he has not died from the coronavirus.  I texted Star, I should introduce you to Jennifer.  They can help each other, so they can kill me.  And get that life insurance money.  This is spiritual abuse, 14-year-old girls and single mothers with a college education shouldn't hate men.  That is cultural, and it is bad religion.
 [6/4, 9:38 PM] kurt: When people try to hurt me.  I introduce them to each other.  "Here is another person who can help you", I am a little depressed and suicidal by this treatment.  And also bored of cheap Arab and Latin hitmen.
 [6/4, 9:44 PM] kurt: I want to go to bolivia I don't like it here I want to go to Europe and the Middle East.  Peru is useless.  Too racist and ignorant, land of bandits.
 [6/4, 9:46 PM] kurt: I don't know if this means, do you like what I say?  Or if you're encouraging me, so those three Venezuelans can go back to the new hotel and rob me.  Venezuelans were not the Venezuelans I know.  Maybe they had weapons in their backpack.
 [6/4, 9:58 PM] kurt: I will go to Bolivia without your help.  You already abandoned me and left me to recover financially alone.  I will go to Bolivia myself.  I don't need help from the Venezuelan gang of rescue kidnappers.  I already saw them, trying to enter the hotel.  So I changed hotels.
 [6/4, 10:00 PM] kurt: very pretty and cute Jennifer baby.  It makes me feel horrible, that I'm too old or that I'm not the right race or religion for you.
 [6/4, 10:02 PM] kurt: Families who pray together stay together.
 Families who pray together stay together.
 [6/5, 2:17 AM] kurt: I will immerse myself, in Paris, France, in French African culture.  I want a French African wife now.  You gave me a wonderful preview.  What it will be like to marry an African French woman.  It is like walking in the clouds in love.
 [6/5, 2:21 AM] kurt: Paris France, on twitter.  The North African Twitter community is very large.
 [6/5, 2:23 AM] kurt: Or I am going straight to Medina, in Saudi Arabia, where I will be safe.  One of the two original cities for Muslims.
 [6/5, 2:58 AM] kurt: I love you very much.  I don't think I can replace you.  I speak to French African girls, to deal with losing you.  But it is not filling the void, of your absence.
 [6/5, 3:00 AM] kurt: It just helps me remember you.  Like when I lived in Huánuco, because the girls remind me of my daughter.  And I couldn't bear the loss without some form of therapy.
 [6/5, 3:03 AM] kurt: how are you Jennifer?
 [6/5, 3:05 AM] kurt: My daughter's people are in Huánuco.  And your people are in Paris and in Northwest Africa?
 [6/5, 3:14 AM] kurt: Maybe your ancestors are from the same place.  Maghreb.  Northwest Africa.  I never studied French Africans until I met you.
 [6/5, 3:19 AM] kurt: Let's start a humanitarian organization, for French African and Quechua women.  And Venezuelan immigrants and refugee rights.  Do you like studying law?
 [6/5, 3:46 AM] kurt: If we can introduce ourselves, as business professionals.  We can do our own professional business services.
 [6/5, 9:40 AM] kurt: Paris, France, and Medina, Saudi Arabia.  It is my travel itinerary.  That is my main point, Jennifer.
 [6/6, 12:39 AM] kurt: Families who pray together stay together.
 Families who pray together stay together.
 [6/6, 12:40 AM] kurt: I love you Jennifer I miss you.  Hope to see you again soon.
 [6/6, 3:38 AM] kurt: France #blacklivesmatter 💋🥰
 [6/6, 3:39 AM] kurt: protests in France for BLM black lives matter
 (Black lives matter.)
 [6/6, 6:34 AM] kurt: Paris France on twitter.  French, North African, in Paris, France.
 [6/6, 5:58 PM] kurt: Now I'm researching fashion, like the first day I met you, Jennifer.  Get lost in fabrics, dyes, textiles, accessories and business travel plans.
 [6/6, 6:02 PM] kurt: This is how I got your attention, Jennifer.  I was concerned with color schemes, fabrics, and fashion accessories.  And you were in my research area hehe
 [6/6, 6:06 PM] kurt: I was looking for assistance to the sales team.  An Indonesian Facebook page showed a woman, with space full of clothes.  Hire a sales team to help distribute and sell the clothing.  As individual private companies.
 [6/6, 6:08 PM] kurt: Warehouse!
 [6/6, 6:10 PM] kurt: In February, I told Daniel, to this storekeeper for polo shirts and jeans.  I want to make a warehouse, with sweaters.  And leather shoes.
 [6/6, 6:11 PM] kurt: More blouses and dresses, and jackets.
 [6/6, 6:52 PM] kurt: I love you baby,

Search Trends in the Time of Coronavirus
Last updated on March 31, 2020 at 03:55 pm
I have heard of people who have been calling the past few days, the “new normal”. We are in the midst of history. The way that health sectors, technology, and businesses regenerate from this crisis will dictate progress that will come in the coming years. For those who are staying at home, this is the perfect time to learn. Seize this opportunity to know more about the world, study that foreign language you’ve been meaning to learn, and for those who do SEO, take COVID-19 as a case study of how search works as a lifestyle for people.
As the Philippines undergoes a lockdown due to the pandemic, online activities have significantly increased and search trends are affected as well. Google Trends is something that we keep an eye on at this time since it helps in making sense of the volatility of the search algorithm. For those wondering how the world of search works during these trying times, here is your brief overview of how the pandemic greatly impacts search behavior and insights on what we can learn from it.
Timeline of the Pandemic as Related to Search Trends
Looking back, the Philippines has not always been in this state of urgency. The first burst of news surrounding the virus started on the last day of 2019 but our country is just catching up on information about it. As I’ve said before, people have been holed up at home now more than ever so it only makes sense that they have been using Google to stock up on news about it.
First-Ever Recorded News About the Virus
December 31, 2019, is the date when China first sounded the alarm bells for the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding several cases of severe pneumonia from Wuhan, ground zero for the virus which is located in the central Hubei province. The virus is still unnamed during this time.
Search trends worldwide can be seen as a flat line since it was not regarded as a global threat back then as WHO only confirmed that it is a new virus called 2019-nCoV on January 7, 2020.
The interest over time having zero data is also surprising since the COVID-19 pandemic is not the first time that the world has seen a coronavirus case. We were plagued by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) back in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012.
China’s Cooperation with WHO
China has since shared the genetic sequence of the virus on the day of January 12 which called for the development of diagnostic kits since the cases of pneumonia in Wuhan w ruled out (SARS-CoV), (MERS-CoV), Influenza, and adenovirus as the cause.
The Philippines’ First Encounter with NCoV
The first case of coronavirus has been confirmed and recorded in the Philippines on January 30. The Department of Health reported the first case of the coronavirus in the country, with the patient being a 38-year old Chinese national. This is when a spike of interest happened in search as many people sought information about this unknown virus prior to the Wuhan Outbreak in December 2019.
  Before the first case of local transmission was even reported, people have been searching for the symptoms of coronavirus. Whether it is anxiety over contracting the disease or simply seeking information about it, we’ll never know.
Reported the First Death
The first death from the disease in the Philippines was confirmed on February 2. This has sparked a global interest in this particular case in the country since this is the first death that has been reported outside mainland China.
First Local Transmission in the Country
The first local transmission in the country was reported which gave way to the Code Red Sub-Level 1 that was raised as the virus cases continue to increase day-by-day. Search has also seen a change in behavior in the results as the interest of people who have been searching for coronavirus cases spiked up during this period.
Incidentally, this is the period when coronavirus trending topics occupied search as evidenced by these tending searches on March 9:
This is a far cry from the search trends during the first week of March since it remained consistent for topics concerning NBA games with Coronavirus related searches as minor players in the trends. Since the pandemic also affected the operations of the NBA, the trending searches for the games came to a halt when they announced that the season is suspended indefinitely due to the virus.
A snapshot of the trending search on March 3 even shows people searching for a seat sale, in the hopes of a vacation in the near future, which suggests that search went about as usual even after news broke about the virus.
With everyone staying at home now, searches have changed for interests like the ones found below:
Staying at home means more home-cooked meals so it’s no wonder that there is an increase in the interests in ulam recipes.
Private sectors resorted to flexible work arrangements due to the suspension of public transportation and the nationwide lockdown. There is a surge of interest for work from home query maybe from employees who would like to learn more about their new work setup.
The recipe for this frothy coffee has been making the rounds of trends nowadays. There are many people who have developed an interest in this beverage as seen on this trend interest over time, as well as social media posts for this coffee recipe.
Of course, with the impending risk of disease, prayer should always be a part of the daily routine of the predominantly Catholic country. Since March 15, people have been searching for articles on how to pray the rosary.
Huge spikes in these queries suggest that the Filipino people have been actively seeking information at home that is fit for their current interests now.
User Behavior and SERPs During Corona
As the world grapples with this unspeakable disease, we see that priorities and behavior are drastically revamped through the search activity of the people. User behavior in search has been analyzed time and again, with RankBrain being the primary consideration for SEOs.
These trending searches can mean that even if user behavior does not directly affect machine learning, it is heavily influenced by it. Google has always been about delivering information which is why at this time of crisis, they have developed a page for coronavirus with SERP features unlike the normal format before:
Search results for health queries regarding the virus are dominated by news and government sites with the ever present Wikipedia link of course. One thing that I also noticed is the help and information section tailored-fit for the Philippines with our Health Ministry website links embedded in a snippet. Is this also the same for your country? Let me know in the comments below.
Significance of Medic Update
Two years since Google rolled out one of the largest search engine algorithm updates, called the Medic, it is resounding in the search results now more than ever.
Query intent is explicitly called for in this day and age especially since a tiny chance of misinformation can cost a life. From the search trends we have previously discussed, you can see that people greatly rely on search for information. This is especially true for the period when we do not even know what the virus entails.
This is why optimizing your site for best practices and to adhere to the standard the algorithm updates is important. Pages that perform well in the service of satisfying search intent will be rewarded with the fact that information has helped people for the better. You can also say the same about YMYL sites.
The Medic update is significant simply because it honors E.A.T. especially since the situation now calls for transparency and accountability from the right people. Reflect user behavior and intent in your content, this will go a long way even when this pandemic is over. Continue optimizing and never lose faith in this time of struggle.
Key Takeaway
Even if the world outside comes to a pause, the world of search is still very much alive. This is also one of the factors that you consider if you are thinking of cutting off digital marketing from your business.
Sure, we are at a standstill but still, imagine the possibilities once the world has recovered and is in motion again. Continue optimizing for user behavior using the best practices and you will be just fine doing SEO during COVID-19 season.
I know that these are difficult times for all of us. Even though we are plagued by this disease, we must keep faith and trust that everything will be alright. If you are reading this now, just know that we will pray for you and your family’s best interest, keep safe.

For ease of use, I recommend simply keeping a written diary with good old-fashioned pen and paper. Set Up Designated Spaces: If neither of the above is an option, or if your dog is a designated indoor dog, you must give them the opportunity to relieve themselves inside. Keep your dog in an area with enough room for a sleeping space, a playing space and a separate place to relieve themselves. In the designated elimination area, use either several layers of newspaper or a sod box. Search: Usually olfactory-based, this might involve trailing a prey item for hours or even days.

Potty training tips – the keys to success Early Neurological Stimulation The answer is “redirection.” When you see your puppy pooping or peeing, quickly interrupt with a phrase like “No!” then immediately and gently take them in your arms or by the collar, and show them to an appropriate location.

Puppies in Bloom (1) Keep in touch Leptosporosis, I was told (a long time ago) to teach a dog to always go out the *same* door for potty training. This door takes him to the patio area. For going outside of the house in general, for other reasons like social walks, errands, car rides, I only use the “Front Door.” While leashed I make him sit, wait, then release on a command. Going from my patio area to the really large grassy back yard, I always use the same gate. One time I accidentally left the wrong gate opened, and my dog never left the patio. I get him back inside by “Jack-Potting” treats (which means to feed a succession of VERY high value treats, while saying a cue-word like Chicken!!! (Which can also be an emergency call back word). In fact (now) he voluntarily comes back inside, knowing the treats are waiting! When feeding a HV treat do so exactly while saying the “cue-word.” Having a few routines helps slow down his impulse to simply “escape” for the thrill. Another time he accidentally got into the garage (with a door opened to the street) and he looked up at me like “oh this is wrong huh.” Which was just enough hesitation to get him back inside the house to jack-pot him with excellent treats! Nothing’s ever foolproof (and we live in a Court) but “smart” dogs generally rely on routine, rules, cues, permission and reward! You just have to make that reward, a BIGGER deal …. than the temptation!! 😉 This is because puppies naturally like to pee where they have peed before. And so it is better not to build up any kind of history of peeing in your home if you can avoid it. Treats should be small (about the size of your pinky fingernail), and you will need at least three to five treats for each potty break.

Crafted earrings, cooked and danced around the room
I should write more often already because this way I get my fingers all nicely warmed up. Can’t complain though, I cannot remember when Estonia had this crispy cold winters with huge snowpiles up to your bellybutton. At least inside it is so nice to be mesmerized by the rising sun rays over sparkling snow fields, all while curled up under a blanket with a hot cup of coffee. Not really into spending more  than half an hour outside with this cold, as my skii trousers have mysteriously disappeared after not needing them for years.
After those coffee and meditation mornings I have a whole hour to enjoy online fitness classes held by all of my favourite trainers. So thankful they have released online platform. Yes, Youtube channels for work outs are good, but they cannot even comprehend with community and people I have worked out with for years.
Tumblr media
Oh, I love Fridays. Mostly because, of course, it marks the end of the workweek and all the stress load on my shoulder gets a decent relief. The end of last year started to go crucially out of hands regarding to work hours. I believed I am extra productive and a good asset for the company with my over-hours after 6 PM, and weekends when I assisted translators with their issues, replied to clients’ and colleagues’ e-mails; I started my workdays right after waking up at 7 AM. I felt so proud. That until I got a note that I have spent shorter AFK periods in our office communication platform and I should work more harder, and that I have to stay available all the time. I awarded myself with a few longer and frequent stretching moments away from keyboards so I wouldn’t completely lose my mind. That comment made me realize that my over-hours benefited no one and they will be left unnoticed. So from this moment on I stayed strictly in my official office hours. And it has paid off at maximum. I am more productive and motivated, more enthusiastic. At the end of the year the times were extremely busy and I was overflown with work, burning out was only a stretch away, but following the working hours and taking mandatory lunch breaks every day made it all synchronize and it went so well. I have learned the hard way that personal time and work time have to be separated. My days were starting to mix into a blurry mess. Even Fridays were nothing special for me as I knew I will work on weekends anyway. Needless to say it all started to negatively affect my personal life and escalated in nasty fights.
Now that I have strictly separated my work and personal time, I feel so-o-o good. Fridays are once again one of my favourite days in week and the entire workday flows with a positive vibe. Today is no exception. I am so ready for the weekend!
This week was overally satisfying as the corona restrictions are being eased bit by bit. For example, gyms and fitness classes are again back in business. This means that finally I can get back to one of my primary passions, instructing BodyBalance classes. Every Tuesday and Wednesday I have my BodyBalance classes, Wednesdays being my favourite as then, I have my favourite people in front of me and I realized this week, how much I missed it. I have always thought that I am quite good at coaching, but this Wednesday I got an ultimate compliment that as soon as I step into instructor role, I transform completely into someone else: I glow, am confident, cheerful. This side of me can rarely be seen in other moments. I guess this shows that working as a trainer is an ultimate passion. Sad though that I cannot spread it wider. I try of course. Before initial corona crisis I was almost through the door to Estonia’s biggest fitness club MyFitness. Anyway, this compliment sparked such an inspiring fire in me that I think I performed my best class ever. The energy I get from these hours are crucially needed. For several evenings now I have silly-danced through our rooms, singing loudly to all the pop songs I hear; made silly jokes. And just laughed and laughed. I cannot remember when was the last time I laughed truly from the bottom of my heart so that tears were in my eyes.
One of my goals for this year was picking up a new hobby. For my surprise, I started to follow this goal so early in this year. I got invited to join a workshop for crafting earrings from clay. I am not that artsy and crafty, with a small exception of drawing, in which I am still a complete newbie. Usually I am always excited when an opportunity like this presents itself, but when the actual time comes to show up, I bail. Not this time, I told myself and went for it. Working with clay was a totally unfamiliar area for me, except that one time when I made a really weird looking coffee mug in one of the clay workshops. God forbid I ever show this to anyone...
Tumblr media
Anyway, the workshop was the bomb! There were 20 people, most of them already quite experience with clay crafting. I felt really self-aware and awkward but when I got my hands on the first small piece of multicolour clay which I soon crafted into two tiny hearts, I felt so calm. It was like an art therapy. Two hours later I waltzed out with 3 pairs of earrings in my hand. Those butterfly wings came out silly-looking as if the poor butterfly were mauled by a cat or something. But I got an excitement to actually pick it up myself, so I should buy some colour clay, moulds and decorations. Look at me, being all spiritual artsy self-developer ‘n stuff
As it’s Friday, I stepped onto the scale this morning. A decent 500g drop in weight, which made me feel quite neutral, and thus I continued my morning without thinking about it. I am not sure where this complete peace with my weight came, so suddenly, but I feel so free. True, few  times a week these demons still haunt me, especially when That Time of the Month is lurking nearby and even a slice of cucumber makes me feel I am fat, but I understand almost instantly that this is just a silly evil entity in my brain, trying to stab me with its knives. This does not make me feel any pain anymore, rather just an annoying poke which I forget almost instantly. There is so much more than that in life, not related to the random number on my scale. I feel strong and more confident than I have felt in years. I am so grateful that I am not a lonely slave to mind anymore, that I have someone I can rely on, that I have a roof over my head, seriously fulfilling healthy foods on my table and a stable working opportunity that does not seem to shrink in its scope anytime soon. Everything else is an additional bonus and my gut is telling me things will get even better.
Ah, right, one of the highlights of this week was me finally getting my long-missed new running steeds: Nike Air Pegasus Shield 37. The only running shoe model which makes me feel like I run on clouds and makes the running even in the craziest monsoons feel like a stroll in the park no matter the temperature outside. I have not yet tested them out yet though, as the roads are insanely slippery and Coach Bennet from NRC is stressing out the strict rule not to run on ice. Thus, I have taken some off-time from running and instead continuing the oh-so amazing workouts from  Netfit. Old version of me would have probably drowned in the pool of tears from regrets of not running, but current me doesn’t let it bring me down. I am so active with other things and this is more than enough. Who knows, perhaps the longer break from running actually brings back the long-lost passion for it and kick-starts the activity with a fresh energy.
Tumblr media
Now, about food. The second week is almost over filled with foods that I used to fear and now make me happy instead. My morning indulgent is a breakfast with overnight oats that I have tuned up to taste as delicious as ever. Yesterday lunch I got a sudden craving for fresh berry smoothie so I think I made the best smoothie ever out of strawberries, bananas, cinnamon and ginger. The ratio was so on point. Smoothie was also one of my fear foods: is liquid, filled with carb-y calories and will not fill me up. Boy, what was wrong with me?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yesterday I made another slow-cooker crockpot stew which has become a hero of dinners. I think my newly-discovered passion for cooking has made me test out flavours more confident and thus, this time the stew came out so good I ate Once again I’d like to say how good I physically feel. After a hearty dinner with belly nicely full, I do feel random panic shivers that I probably just gained 4 kg and everyone can see my belly twice the size it was 30 minutes ago, but this idiotic thinking disappears surprisingly fast. Most of the  time I feel that my body is happy, I have energy for the entire day from 7 AM I tip my toes onto the floor and until 11 PM when my head finally touches the pillow. Before, I had these eating-triggered depression exhaustions, when I just wanted to sleep off every lunch break,  but no, this wasn’t an option so instead, I forced myself into running and I came back, feeling even more exhausted an unhappy.
Tumblr media
Netfit workouts in the mornings are like a nectar to my soul. I cannot remember when was the last time I truly ENJOYED my morning work-outs when I did not remind myself every second of it that I NEED to push myself to maximum because yesterday’s dinner calories must be destroyed. It’s amazing how much can your mind-set change the quality of your life.
I have a secret fear that this happiness will be a short-term break. I have had these good periods in the past as well and after a few weeks I am back in my old black corner, but I don’t know... this time I honestly feel that perhaps this here now is permanent and what if the jigsaw pieces are finally starting to come together...
Today, I actually wanted to post my 100 goals for the year. I guess next time then. Don’t want to crash Tumblr in one go.

Once enrollment is complete, tuition is non-refundable. Once you begin, you have access to the full course. How to Potty Train Adult Dog Level 2 Don’t get lazy with the praise during the second week. You want your dog to be the proudest creature on earth every time he pees or poops outside. Yes it seems silly after a while, and maybe even a little creepy if your dog stares at you while doing their business – but rest assured, you’re getting the message across.
