A-Z April 2024 Challenge: Reflection

Just a few thoughts on the A-Z April Challenge that I had just finished. (More about the A-Z challenge here.)

01 - I posted y and z early to finish sooner as I've have already finished writing those last two posts. I did have to fix a few links (by reverting posts and changing the permalink and republishing) as I set all the posts to have just the name of the challenge (a-z-2024) and the alphabet to make easier and shorter links which probably is a waste of time but they're organized.

02 - I think I spent too much time writing posts and working on graphics/arts and not enough time visiting others - this seems to be my bad habit whenever I do this challenge.  But I did enjoy working on them.
    
03 - Toward the end of the month, I barely visited other participants. I don't know what happened. I just didn't have the will to visit more and comment more. Even though I didn't check stats, I can tell this year, I have the lowest visitors and the least amount of comments and that's my fault for not visiting more and commenting more on other participants' blogs.

04 - I didn't sign up on the theme list because I have no theme. This list is kind of redundant because these participants will show up on the master list. And I have to say again, not too many people know the difference between a theme and a format. For example, Poetry about apples is a theme, poetry itself is a format. Why don't people understand that?
    I also didn't sign up for the master list (with all participants, at least for those who signed up) because there are 18 categories of things to fill out - too much data to my liking and what the heck do participants need all these info for? They even added a new category this year. Come on, no one thought this is a bad idea? It used to be these list or at least one list, just have a name, blog link and whether it is adult content which I thought was enough.
    The third list is the reflection list (where you link your reflection post, the post you're reading right now) which you can sign up on May 2 but I won't bother. I'm done with all the lists. I've gone rogue and I'm never going back. (Update: I decided to sign onto the reflection list so participants can read my opinions on the challenge.)
    
05 - This is the last time for me. I'm sure I won't do this challenge next year. At this moment anyway. I'll probably change my mind but for now, it's a no for me.

Have you done the A-Z challenge? What do you think of my posts this year?

Yes to these things

These are the things I would say yes to. Since my N post (No to these things) is about food, I thought I continue that.

01 - Strawberries - I love strawberries and anything with them or anything strawberry-favored.

02 - Roast pork buns - This has always been a favorite for as long as I can remember, I like to eat them while they are still hot.

03 - Egg custard tarts - I don't remember when I first tasted egg tarts but it have always been one of my favorite sweet treats.

04 - Egg drop soup - I don't get many chance to eat egg drop soup but I've always liked it.

05 - Chicken Congee - Almost anything congee I like but especially chicken congee.

06 - French fries with ketchup - Can't eat one without the other.

07 - Pizza - mostly plain but sometimes I like some toppings, like green or red peppers or chicken though I have never tried pineapple toppings.

What are you some of the things you say yes to?
