Woman saved thanks to hitmen’s principles

/ Angie's Inspiration / Leave a comment

Hello everyone. Good evening. How was your Wednesday? Oh, by the way happy belated Women’s Day to all you fine women out there. 😉 Hope you all spent it well.

Anyway, some weeks ago I came across a BBC news article about an African woman who now lives in Australia, whose life was spared thanks to the hitmen’s morals. I became quite curious after reading a headline like that.

Apparently, the story goes that this woman returned to her motherland, Africa, because her mother passed away. While she was in her hotel room talking to her husband he suggested for her to take some fresh air outside to calm her nerves because she was still shaken up about her mother’s passing. And then as she did so the hitmen were  waiting right outside her door, covered her head and took her in their car to their hideout. Read the full story to get further details. Continue reading →

Spring’s First Intermission

Hey there everyone! Happy Friday! Just came from speaking with some crazy friends of mine on Skype. Do you have any plans for over the weekend? I do not have so much of a plan but instead I am going to try studying and continuing to write my thesis.

Since it is March and Spring is just practically around the corner I wanted to write a blog post related to that. Lately I have been seeing a lot of signs of the the Spring season and I wanted to post a poem I wrote a while back about (my first) Spring in the Netherlands. This poem (as you probably can tell) can be found in my published poetry book I’m Only Human which you can buy on Amazon, Kobobooks, Barnes and Noble and Bol.com etc. I hope you like it and have a nice day.

Historical women stories that are rarely told

Hey there, everyone. How is or was your Wednesday? I am doing well as per usual.

Anyway, I came across a video and article yesterday and I wanted to write a brief post about it today. Why are women in history and even in the present constantly looked down on as lesser than, even though women have made enough contributions to society and our current way of life to deserve a little recognition. Instead their stores and history are swept under the rug or have been put in the back burner compared to their male counterparts. Continue reading →

Wine & dine

Hey there. Happy Friday! I am in a nice mood today, if I do say so myself. Today I wine and dined all by my lonesome as I watched anime and I L.O.V.E.D it! Now I am feeling like a stuffed pig and can barely move because of how stuffed I am. However, I am satisfied and that is all that matters to me right now. Although I do not need to drink myself silly and fill my gut to be happy today I still did it anyway because I can, 😛 Lol. Sometimes it feels so good to be able to do as I please. Continue reading →

Such a great poem!

/ Angie's Inspiration / Leave a comment

Hello yet again everyone! There wasn’t that much time that passed between the last blog post I published last night and this one.

Also, it’s finally Friday which means time to relax and unwind… not. I have quite some work I have cut out for me to do over the weekend.

Anyway, today is my Writing Related Fridays and I just wanted to post something I came across a few days ago. It is a video of a poem being read by poet, Kayla Q, and I have to say what a powerful message and intense poem that was! I was so surprised myself. I can sometimes be a little critical when it comes to poetry and writing related work when I start to really get serious. Even more so with my own writing. But she was great, I have to admit.

The girl who wanted to be white…

Hey there. It’s finally Friday (well almost early Saturday morning)! Hurray! Well, anyway… Though the year had just started is pretty much already mid-February. Time flies! No kidding. Before we turn around and blink it will be the end of the year again. Gosh!

Anyway, I can imagine that almost everyone knows that the month of February is Black History Month, right?  Today is my Writing Related Fridays and I wanted to share a poem to commemorate that, although it ends somewhat sadly. I believe it also resonates well with my post from yesterday where I wrote that black people should also be proud of their blackness. You have nothing to be ashamed about. You were (and all humans were) made beautifully regardless of what anyone else says and we should stand proud. Continue reading →
