  • Blood Sugar Levels

     Incidentally, WebMD posted on low and high blood sugar levels today on Twitter/X. I had higher-than-normal blood glucose levels (pre-diabetes) in the past. Not anymore. Continue reading

  • Drink

     I just finished making some drink. My drink for the day…(I just feel like drinking more than water) Continue reading

  • Sugar

    I like the 1kg package (small bag) of sugar from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (Guysuco). I remember those days from my childhood when my parents bought a big bag (25-pound bag I believe) of sugar, a big bag of flour, and a big bag of rice for the family. If I remember correctly, those purchases… Continue reading

  • Update

     Good morning from Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Guyana. I was dealing with an issue yesterday – not a major issue, it was household-related. I am doing well. I am thinking of ways/places to obtain a kite. There is another death in the family. It is my cousin’s father who was married to my aunt. Continue reading

  • Kite

    I thought about the kite I want to get. I would like to get a standard Guyanese kite dressed up with ears and other accessories in earth tones. The ears should be made with paper with horizontal blocks of color (similar to the color example shown below, which is from my ‘The Right Color’ board… Continue reading

  • Easter

     It is almost Easter and I am looking foward to eating cross buns and getting a kite! The day for kite flying will be very soon – Easter Monday will be on April 1st (and Good Friday three days prior on March 29th).  In case you’re wondering, both Good Friday and Easter Monday fall in… Continue reading

  • Feeling Good; Rehab 1yr anniversary

     It is a good afternoon in Linden Guyana! I am not doing much and I am feeling good. My right eye feels a little funny but I feel good overall. I am very thankful for God’s mercies. About a year ago, I was staying at a rehab center working to get rid of issues with… Continue reading

  • An Academic Career

    Good morning from Linden, Guyana! There are more and more stories of people leaving academia (an example is below – from the public LinkedIn profile of A. Ruba, PhD). It makes you want to look into people’s motivations as well as issues. I think it means that anyone planning to enter academia needs to really… Continue reading

  • Writing Competitions

    There is now more information on writing competitions. There are short story competitions, novel competitions, poetry competitions, and so on. There seems to be a lot more competitions! (See examples below – the Bridport Prize is one example.) I bet the very talented will enter/participate so there will be stiff competition. Note that I am… Continue reading

  • Going Out

     Good morning from Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Guyana! It rained very early in the morning so it is much cooler. I am heading out. All signs indicate that it would be a busy day. I hope to get fruits. Here is a travel video I found: $10 challenge in Guyana. The guy in the video tries… Continue reading

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
