This week's word along with your anecdote gave me a chuckle. Although we don't have the "ugly spouse" reference, the remote connection to it is what people used to say when you eat raw rice -"It will rain on your wedding day". 😀

"Habits that combine to form first a day, then weeks, months, years, and finally a life" - What a beautiful philosophical thought that never crossed my mind. Will remember this for a long time.

The Butterfly Effect was a great movie at that time, but a couple of years ago, I watched a Spanish movie - Mirage, with a similar concept. In my opinion, it overtook its predecessor with a strong female lead performance.

Tittynope is a peculiar addition to my vocabulary.

Causing a chuckle is a big compliment for an essay. Thank you so much!

So happy that you liked both essay and the word :) I'm on my way to work on "ganbaru," as you've suggested.

Take care :)

Can't wait to read your essay this week. If I may borrow a phrase from your home land, "Kolay Gelsin" 👍

Cheers:)
