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

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

Happy belated birthday to my Father!

Konnichiwa minna! Yesterday, May 20, was my father’s birthday and though I was trying to make this video for on the day of his birthday it didn’t go the way I wanted due to some technical problems. So I am posting it today and I hope you all like it. Don’t forget to like, comment and share. Continue reading

Projects: My Current Works in Progress

Hello Everyone! So far I have three works in progress and they are all novels. I haven’t made a poem since the last poem I made in December, Friend…less, and will not bother to try writing one unless one comes to mind naturally. I have not written any of my own music lyrics in quite a while either. I know of course it was last year but cannot remember exactly when. So it has been quite a while. So I decided trying to focus on my novels since lately I have been getting some more inspiration with those. The novel titles that I am busy working on writing the manuscripts for, are listed below:

Novels

1. Starting Over

2. The Forlorn One

3. The Perks of Having a Little Sister

And all three of my novels are of different genres. My intention is to be a Best Selling Author one day. I know it will take time and practice to hone my writing and story-telling skills in order to even dream of becoming a Best Seller, but I shall one day succeed. You all just sit back, wait and see. 😀

My Inspirations

shower_thinking_by_little_miss_boxie-d3jmo0n

I cannot speak for anyone but myself but I think at times writing and getting inspiration can be a challenge. Especially, when your inspiration does not come regularly but in spurts. I think I already said something about this in one of my earlier posts, but I only write or do anything when I have the right inspirations and I am in that right frame of mind which comes whenever it wants to. But, when it does come it can be either a very short spurt of inspiration or sometimes, which this does not happen very often, it can even overflow. Does anyone else have this challenge when it comes to writing?

Anyway, I have noticed that  when I am taking a shower this is time when my inspiration usually comes. There has been many occasions where I had to rush out of the shower to write down my jumble ideas and words. Actually, it even happened just yesterday where I received inspiration to write about a certain event that occurs in the second novel I am writing, The Forlorn One. And I stayed up until after 4 a.m. getting all my thoughts together and typing it all down. Of course it does not happen all of the time but it have happened so very often that I am lead to believe this.

My guess is ( and this is only my guess) but I am more susceptible to ideas and inspiration because during this time is when I am the most relaxed. The one thing I enjoy more than food and sleeping is taking a shower. And therefore, I am more open during those times. Though it may seem really weird to say that I get most of my inspiration while I am taking a shower, it is what it is, lol. Or maybe it’s not so weird. Please tell me your thoughts. I think it would be really interesting to know how and when others get their inspirations as well. Would you mind sharing?
