I have really come to like Japanese (and some Korean) dramas
Hey everyone. How are you all? Today I am going to be writing just a short post about my new found interest in watching Japanese dramas and Korean movies respectively.
I am a little curious of how many of you all are interested in Asian dramas and movies (Japanese, Korean, Thai etc.)? Only recently have I started getting a real interest in watching Japanese and Korean dramas. I have watched a few Japanese, Korean and Thai dramas and movies in the past but I am an all loving anime fan and I do not really strayed far away from it. However, nowadays I find myself watching and listening to more and more Asian entertainment, most of which is Japanese and Korean.
When I tell my friends and my new acquaintances that I generally watch or listen to things not related at all to American entertain, I usually get a strange and confused look. As if they are silently asking me with their eyes “Why would you ever be interested in anything but American entertainment, especially when you are an English speaker?” Have any of you Asian entertainment fans ever experienced this? But YES, I do enjoy Japanese and Korean entertainment and I cannot tell you the last time I really watched any American entertainment. All I can truly say is that Asian entertainment is just as enjoyable as American television. Maybe even more so than not. You just probably have to get use to their kind of humour.
Anyway, on Saturday I decided to watch a Japanese drama series, Nobunaga Concerto, which is an adaption from the Nobunaga Concerto anime and manga series. If you are a person who are somewhat acquainted with Japanese manga, anime or dramas, somewhere along the line you must have come across the name Nobunaga. He is quite the renowned character in Japanese history. He was a warlord of the Oda Clan when Japan was not unified as it is now. Japan was separated into several states and these states were ruled over by various clansmen. During those times it was called the Warring States Era. Nobunaga was the man who had the dream of ending wars by unifying Japan and he went through hell and back to make that dream a reality. Before it was practically stolen from under him (because he was betrayed and killed by his own retainer) before he could fully complete his dream.
The drama pretty accurately follows the historical events that occur during Nobunaga’s reign. However, the story is not 100% non-fiction. The story starts off with a male high school student, Subaru, who gets thrown back in time to the warring states regime. When he first time travels to this foreign land he meets his doppelganger who is the real Nobunaga fleeing from his duties and out of harms way. So they end up trading places. Anyway, to make a long story short, Subaru, who pretends to be Nobunaga in the real Nobunaga’s stead, has to find his way in this new world and learn how to lead this clan members into a better future where everyone can smiling happily and will no longer have to suffer from the countless raging wars. In my opinion, a lot of wars could have been prevented if people back then did not betraying each other left right and centre; and if some of the good rulers were not swayed by evil, heartless people who were only looking out for themselves and not the well being of the people.
I enjoyed the series a lot and found it quite comedic and emotional at the same time. I would definitely recommend this drama for those of you interested in watching Japanese dramas. If you have not done so already.
Anyway, I hope you liked this post and I will see you all next time. Take care.
Fun Facts about Angie’s Inspiration
Hello everyone. Today I wanted to do something a little different this Friday instead of writing my usual Writing Related posts. A few days ago on Instagram I was tagged and challenged by a blogger friend of mine, to share some fun facts about myself. So, I decided to just re-sharing it right here on my blog. Or if you want you can also just visit my angies_inspiration Instagram page to see the actual post and do not forget to give me a like and a follow! 🙂
Some Fun Facts:
#1. I had never been to an amusement park before until early this year when I went with a good friend of mine for New Years Day. Which you can imagine, I was like an adult child, lol.
#2. As a young child I never had any intention of becoming a writer. I wanted to be many things such as a nun, boxer, a baseball player, and a mechanic, but the idea of becoming a writer never came to mind.
#3. In primary school I got into a physical altercation with one of my teachers. I was quite sensitive back then when others offended me.
#4. I was very shy growing up. You would have never guessed that, huh? Lol.
#5. When I was in third grade I shaved off all of my eyebrows as a joke.
Is anyone else up for the Fun Facts challenge? Then please take the time to write your comments below. Take care.
Mom and Dad is still Mom and Dad. Whether ‘real’ or not.
Hello and good evening everyone. How are you all doing? As I can imagine, all of you must know that the 2016 Olympics has already begun where every athlete is giving their all to win. Although, I am not particularly a big fan of the Olympics, I wish all of the athletes the very best in whichever sport they are competing in. Continue reading

Why do people like to pick at every single thing the Obama’s do?
Hello everyone. Konnichiwa. Hallo. Hola. Welcome to my Opinionated Wednesdays. Today I wanted to briefly write about the Obama’s and how so many people seem to have a bone to pick with Obama and his family.
They seem to love trying to find even a grain of fault with the Obama’s. They try to pick at every minor thing Obama and his family does and then later try to justify their vile actions and words, because he is after all the “worst president ever” right? I have never seen a president and his family hated so much, simply for existing. They were hated from the moment they took their first steps into the White House to even now when they are almost about to leave. It is really astounding. Even though Obama and the first Lady, in my opinion, are the only pair that ever really tried to help improve America and its image portrayed to the rest of the world, but yet it is still not enough for some.
Anyway, the reason why I decided to bring up the Obamas as the topic for today is because I come across some videos on YouTube yesterday evening and just wanted to share my two cents on the matter, if I may. Please take a look at the videos below.
It is very shameful how people who are making distasteful comments about Malia are acting as if she is not just an ordinary teenage girl who wants to have fun like every other teenager. I wonder what all of these commentators making such vile comments were doing when they were 18? I can only imagine most of them were behaving and doing worse things then Malia.
If Obama and his family does something minor then the media and everyone goes berserk and are like: ‘Oh my GOSH! How DARE the Obama’s act like human beings’. Malia was still dressed and behaving a hell of lot better than I have seen of most 18 year olds her age. At 18, I probably did more embarrassing things then she has ever done in her entire 8 years living in the White House. Can people stop being ridiculous!
And let us be honest. No 18 year old wants to spend most of their time at any political function. Those functions can be really boring to most teenagers and adults alike. However, when Malia had attended almost all of the other political functions of her father’s, no one bats an eye or says anything. But, oh, she tries acting like any other 18 year old once in a while, she is called a ‘hood rat’. I especially do not like the use of the words hood rat and ghetto because those are usually racially charged words people like to use to refer to black people. How many times have you ever heard someone say that the name Mary, John, and Kim (or any other name besides a ‘black sounding’ name) are such “ghetto sounding names”? Yeah, I thought so…
On a side note, I wonder why no one brought up the previous presidents and their children’s behaviour? If you commentators want to talk about acting like hood rats maybe you should check there first before you make such unwarranted comments about the Obama’s.
In my opinion, the Obama and his family have been, by far, the most respectable presidential family I have ever seen. Yet they get the most hate and are the most scrutinized. If their hairstyle falls the wrong way they will be scrutinized. For the love of God people, get over yourselves! Worry about yourself and what your own children and family are doing that you probably may not know about.
