So many questions, but no answers

Hello Tomodachi’s,

Good afternoon, all you lovely people! I know it has been a while but please bear with me. The last few weeks have not been the best for me. Since returning to my small island after living in the Netherlands for a while, I have been dealing with a lot of ignorance and nonsense. One of these days I will eventually come around to talking about it a little, but for now, I need some more time to stew in my thoughts.

Last Friday I…

Hey Tomodachi’s,

Are you doing alright this blessed Tuesday. It is blessed Tuesday because every time we are fortunate enough to see another week we are not guaranteed it makes it a blessed day and a blessed week.

By the way, this post was originally made for Monday but since I was not able to post it on time yesterday I am posting it today.

Anyway, last Friday was a fun day if I do say so myself. I spent half of the day cooking a typical Antillian dish known as ‘Okra soup’ and ‘fungi’. I cooked with another (Dutch) Antilian like myself and it was our first attempt at making it. Though it did not come out tasting exactly as how my parents would make it, it was a great and very close first attempt. Not to mention, the way how my parents would make it was slightly different from how they would make it in Bonaire. So, we had a slight butting of heads at first on how to make it but in the end we worked together and everything worked out just fine.

Below are just a few images of the evening spent cooking and eating with friends. I just wanted to share a little something about my life. I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you all next time. Take care and have a great day.

I will be Participating in a Writing Competition

Konnichiwa Tomodachi’s,

How are you all? Today has been quite a lazy day, although, I have not been completely lazing around the house as much as I would like to right now. These past couple days I have been trying to write a children’s story for children aged seven years and older. Continue reading

My children’s picture book is now underway to being published!

Hello everyone. TGIF! Is everyone doing well? It’s Friday yet again and today I am quite happy because I have some good news that I guess would make any writer happy! Continue reading

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
