My Audio Escape Loh-Contest #234

Hello, beautiful ladies of the Hive community. I am happy to be here again to participate in the 234th edition of the Loh-Contest this week. I extend my warm greetings to this week's judge, @merit.ahama. I'm glad to have you here.

Below is my response to the questions for the contest; I choose option number one because it appeals to me the most:

What person am I regarding my entertainment time, book or movie, and give the reason for my choice.

When it comes to entertainment, I have found that I am more of an audio explorer than a visual one. While many people unwind by watching movies or getting lost in books of all sorts, I find my joy in the simple pleasure of listening—whether it's music or podcasts, I am always tuned in. My techo spark 8C phone has become my portable entertainment hub, and, of course, my very trusty Airpod pod is my constant companion.

When I am not having my Airpods on. I listen to music on the radio, connected to my phone through USB using my flash drive with music files saved on it. Oftentimes, I connect using Bluetooth.

Although my entertainment life wasn't all about audio at first, life with kids has changed my entertainment habits quite a bit. These days, the television no longer belongs to me; It has been lovingly hijacked by my children, who filled the screen with their endless cartoon marathons. It would be a waste of time to try to drag the remote control back from them, as it would only provoke unwanted screaming, nagging, and tears. So, for the sake of peace, I discovered a real quiet escape through audio. Podcasts has particularly become my favorite pastime. Whether I am cleaning, cooking washing, walking, or arranging our laundry, it feels like I carry my own private cinema everywhere I go. While my children glue their eyes on the screen, run around, and chase each other playing Spider-Man who saves the princess bear. I just draw serenity from my podcasting.

There was a day when I was in the kitchen washing the dishes, completely absorbed in a true crime podcast. The host
was skillfully heightening my anticipation and increasing my excitement. I didn't even notice my son standing in front of me until he suddenly shouted, "Mummy!" I was startled and almost dropped a plate! We both laughed so hard, and he asked, "Mum, didn't you see me standing right here?" All I could say to him was, "That's what happens when the story gets too good." It reminded me how real those voices felt—like I was part of the scene.

Music is another source of joy that definitely lift my spirit. Ranging from upbeat tunes that energize me while engaging in my daily routines to slow, soulful music that helps me relax. Music directs my mood, so to speak, and eases my movement. I love the fact that I can multitask—stay engaged and entertained at the same time. While others might be glued to their television sets, sitting and eating popcorn and drinking on their couches. I'm usually on my feet, getting things done with my Airpod snug in my ear.

I kind of prefer the freedom I derive from Airpods over the traditional earpiece with an extension cord; it has no wire to untangle or get caught into an object. It simply allows my free movement without restrictions, making my pace easier and smoother.

Listening to music and podcasts really blends with my busy lifestyle. Entertainment, for me, does not have to interrupt my daily routine; It actually travels with me. Sound is my companion, escape and rhythm.

I might not be catching up on all the latest blockbusters or flipping through the various pages of a bestseller. However, I am surely connected to a world of sound—definately one podcast, one playlist, one beautiful moments at a time.
