To all workers (WFH’ers, digital nomads, normal workers, etc.), students, and anyone who really just wants to have a more chill study/work environment,
I’ve come across lofi.co, which has a free version, a paid ($2.99) version, which basically offers you more visual stuff to help calm you down.
If you’re tired of staring at Lo-Fi girl or Synthwave boy on Newpipe/Vanced and want a change of scenery, this is probably a good way to go. Try it free first, and I’d like also suggestions if anyone knows a few good sites/apps similar to this.
Have a chill evening mga Phlemmings, may we all find that sweet spot of chilness in our respective corners of the globe.
EDIT: Link. Also thanks 8rhn6t6s!
EDIT 2: Apparently you can use playlists from spotify too and you can choose between Jazz, Chill or Sleep themed playlists. Sadly, sound effects are limited to around 3 or 4 with the free version.
Fixing your comment since the link is wrong on my end - https://lofi.co/home/
magandang umaga mga ka-plema! kamusta kayo?
gusto ko na ulit magbasa ng libro, anong fave books nyo? lemme.know hehe <3
Quite an old book, but The Broker by John Grisham is a novel I go back to from time to time. Everything was just very appealing to me: the pacing, the action, the details, the storytelling, the plotlines. It is not perfect, but it is good enough for me to get re-reading every now and then.
For a short story, it is The Bet by Anton Chekhov. This kinda solidified reading for me as a leisurely pursuit in my younger years, although R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps really got me into reading in my toddler-ish years.
For Non-Fiction, Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a great read, as well as Atomic Habits by James Clear.
For something light and funny, I would recommend John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. Now, the humor is a hit or miss, but it is entertaining to read.
F. Sionil Jose is a great local author I would want to recommend, as I am getting into reading Filipino Literature. I’ve only read one of the Rosales Saga series of novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Though I am not sure about the reading order.
May you peacefully enjoy your reading time.
