Such a great poem!

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

We black people should be proud of our blackness too!

Hello friends! How are you all doing? It’s almost Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am! 🙂 I cannot wait for the weekend to get here.

Anyway, today I just wanted to write a brief post and dispel the negativity I have been seeing lately from my mind and chest. Recently, I have been hearing (well actually reading) a lot about of what happened during the Superbowl’s 50 halftime for Beyoncé’s performance. Take a look at the video below. Continue reading

I ESPECIALLY like watching Shounen anime

Hello all! Are you doing well? Tomorrow is back to work or school or whatever you are doing in your daily lives. The weekend is practically already over. What a bummer…

Friday there was no post from me like usual because for 1. I sort of forgot about it. Can you imagine that, lol. and 2. I was not really sure what I wanted to write about so I did not write anything. My motto is ‘When in doubt do nothing. At least until you are somewhat certain of what you want…‘, lol. 😛

Anyway, since it has somewhat been a while since I wrote anything anime related I wanted to write a brief post about the type of anime genre I like watching. As my blog post title states, I especially like ‘shounen’ anime. But for those of you who are not quite familiar with anime jargons etc. as yet, you might be thinking ‘What the heck is shounen anime?’ Well just as everything from books to movies and tv series have genres anime and manga also have their own type of genre too.  Continue reading

The Perks of Having a Little Sister

Hello everyone. Happy Saturday! My favourite day of the week. Sorry I was unable to make a post yesterday because I was a little tired and fell asleep. So today I’m making up for it with this post. Also, today I have been busy packing my stuff and relocating to a new place and that is my reason for posting late. Sorry for the late post and hope you still enjoy this post nonetheless.

I wanted to post the partial first chapter of a third novel idea I was working on some time back and still am working on. It is about an older teenage sister who hates her adored and coddled little sister. This is because of how much attention her baby sister is showered with and how she is not given any personal space to focus on herself and hang out with her friends etc. because of it. Until her little sister develops an illness that the medical doctors cannot pinpoint what exactly it is and this illness has her frequenting the hospital and on the edge between life and death. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of The Perks of Having a Little Sister. Continue reading

Breastfeeding vs. Being Sexy in Public

Goede Avond iedereen, good evening everyone! How has your week been so far? I do hope fine. Well, today is another Wednesday and therefore means another opinionated post.

Anyway, I came across a video while scrolling down on my news feed on Facebook. In this video a social experiment done with regards to women breastfeeding verses a women dressing scantly and revealing some boob. Who would have thought that the simple act of breast feeding could get so many people riled up compared to dressing scantily? It is so ridiculous  that I have to laugh at how dumb some people are. Take a look at the video below. Continue reading
