Stripes on the ground formed (I think) by underground volcanic activity

Palm trees that look like columns blocking the view of the houses

Share Your World – Week of January 18, 2021

Published on January 20, 2021January 19, 2021 by Yinglan3 Comments

Why do we dream?

I believe we dream because our minds are trying to tell us something, something we may not be aware when we’re conscious, or when we are having trouble pinpointing our desires even if it’s temporary.

Lens-Artists Challenge #131: All About Emotions

Published on January 17, 2021January 16, 2021 by Yinglan20 Comments

The theme for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge is Emotions, which really made me think hard as I don’t normally take portraits nor any photos portraying emotions. It resulted in me digging into photos which was an interesting task as I discovered photos I didn’t even know I had.

Thank you for Visiting!

Published on January 11, 2021January 10, 2021 by Yinglan5 Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve checked my all-time stats. The image above was snipped on January 1, 2021 and I was amazed to see how many countries I have traveled through this blog since 2013. I feel surprised and humble that you all have decided to check out this blog and follow me even though I write about the most ridiculous things sometimes.

I did not even imagine anyone was going to read what I write when I started this blog and I certainly did not think of getting an official domain. If you haven’t noticed, the blog URL is now https://thisisanotherstory.com/. I decided to take the plunge and get a domain name a few months ago.

Before I return to my Monday work, I know I probably don’t say this enough, THANK YOU FOR VISITING.

Hello 2021! May You Be as Bright as I have Hoped

Published on January 1, 2021December 30, 2020 by Yinglan18 Comments

Well, it looks like we, at least in my circle, have unceremoniously welcomed 2021 – I worked my 8 hours, ate 2 square meals plus a midday snack, finished listening to The Queen’s Gambit on Audible, blogged, and went to sleep long before midnight rolled around.
