Merry Christmas everyone and here’s a poem from me to you…

Hello everyone. It is Friday again and also Christmas. I hope you are enjoying your day to the fullest today! My day has been quietly hanging out and relaxing with family while eating and watching movies on the television, lol. I also spoke with my parents on Skype for the first time during the holiday season since coming to the Netherlands because we always spoke on the phone. So, it was nice being able to see them this time around. 🙂

I just wanted to say that though the year 2015 may have not been the best year for everyone, life is still as beautiful at the end of the day because of the simple fact that we are alive to see it and get the chance to hopefully see a better tomorrow.   Continue reading

The Dutch tradition: Sinterklaas en Zwarte Piet

Hello Everyone! I have been away for almost 2 weeks which seems like a long time but I am back again!! Did you miss me? 🙂

As you can probably already guess I have fixed the problem plaguing my computer and I am back to my regular twice a week postings (three postings every other week).

Today is Wednesday and you may already know what that means. It is my Opinion Wednesdays where I will  usually write my opinion on whichever topic piques my curiousity or interest at the time. Today I will be talking a little about Sinterklaas en de Zwarte Pieten (Saint Nick and the Black Petes) that is celebrated here in the Netherlands.  Now, take note: I am not trying to bash or insult anyone’s culture, tradition or anything of the sort. I am only stating my opinion and how I feel about it and that is all. Continue reading

I love listening to anime opening/ ending theme songs!

Hello everyone! Did you have a good weekend? I enjoyed it by resting my tired body despite still being a ‘spring chicken’ as some of the older folks might say. Even though I am still in my mid-twenties I can already feel in my body that I am no longer very young and flexible as I used to be as a young teenager. It’s so sad 😦

Anyway… I decided on my own (I’m sorry my  blog followers for sometimes being such a fickle and spontaneous person) that I would write a blog post every other Sunday (at least try to) instead of every Sunday since I am not doing a good job as it is posting every Sunday. Today is Sunday and if you guessed that today’s post is related to things that I like and love/ what I’m doing with my life, then you’ve guessed right.

Anyway, today I wanted to mention that I have gotten into the habit of listening to (Japanese) anime opening and ending theme songs. If you are familiar with an anime otaku (nerd), or if you are one yourself, then you would know what I am talking about. Somewhere along the line with your obsession or interest with anime you will get into the habit of liking the anime theme opening and ending songs. As you watch your favourite anime you would then decide to download the song on your computer or save the song on your playlist on your phone  so you will be able to listen to it wherever you go. I have been into anime for quite a long time and the more I started to love anime and my obsession grew, I also started to download the theme songs and listened to them when I had nothing better to do.

Today is Saba Day!

Hello everyone! TGIF. I hope you are having a great Friday wherever part of the world you may be. Today is going to be a little short and brief. I just wanted to say that today is my island’s national holiday although the day is almost over on this side of the world.

Every first Friday of December we Sabans celebrate Saba Day. It is our holiday and we have the day off, although I didn’t because I am living in the Netherlands and also was at my internship at Spotzer Media today. 😥

Not to mention in the past on Saba Day, other Sabans also living in the Netherlands would come and celebrate it together, but not this year. It was a little sad, but well, at least I went to a Japanese restaurant (went to Wagamama again 🙂 ) and ate some delicious food to commemorate the occasion.  Continue reading

Lost at Sea.

Hello everyone! It’s Wednesday again and another eek of my Opinion Wednesdays. We are also halfway through the week again, thank Goodness! I can do with some more sleep 😛

Anyway, I wanted to  ask how many of you have heard of the man who was lost at seas for 14 months? I came across a news article some weeks back that talked about a man called José Salvador Alvarenga, who disappeared off the coast of Mexico after going to fish with one other companion, on his small fishing boat. Then weather turned for the worse. I am not sure how he withstood being alone for so long without going half crazy, but he did. This guy had drifted on his boat for 438 days while catching birds, fish and turtles with his bare hands and eating them raw. Continue reading

Bleeding Heart

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!! I’m sure most of you must be ecstatic that it is Friday. I sure am 😀 Tomorrow I can sleep until all hours of the day without a care in the world, lol.

Anyway, some of you may already know the drill. Today is my Writing Related Fridays and I just wanted to share a poem with you all, after all I haven’t posted any poems in a while. This poem is also taken from my poetry book, I’m Only Human. So if you are interested you can purchase it  here on Amazon. Please, give a girl some support, lol. Continue reading
