Hello, 

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart

Although today is supposed to be a “Did it age well?” or at least a “spooky” blog post because it’s OFFICIALLY spooky season, my heart is breaking. Crying to say something different. This is more of a “to me from me” post I guess. Warning, tears Backstory I have a weak spot for strays. My first pet as a responsible child was a stray dog. His name was Leo. Leo was found by my mom in our…

On the Road to Vegan Life Once More

FIRST DAY OF VEGANISM DIET It’s been three months since I started the vegan diet once more. Back in 2019, right after a breakup, I started transitioning into veganism. Thankfully, several aspects of my life are in line with the vegan lifestyle. Anyhow, I slowly started eliminating animal products from my diet to avoid sending my body into a weird shock. I should’ve known that a month of eating…

Can I stick to this schedule? Lets find out

Welcome to the second installment of ‘Did it age well?’ I am heavily aware of how MIA I’ve been but at this point..is anyone surprised? Apparently, schedules and I do not get along. Moving on to the TOPIC of this post. Insurgent is my favorite out of the three. Reason? Women in positions of power and kicking ass. I gotta confess, Tris’s haircut makes my bi heart flutter. What can I say, I like a…

AudioBooks are Productivity Best Friend

Audiobooks are a blessing. I was introduced to them in my junior year when all I had to do was consume books. Granted, I stopped listening to some of them since my main work of line (WHAT?) is video editing. Hard to edit a video when voices are talking over voices. AudioBooks Photo by Stas Knop on Pexels.com Are you an avid reader? or someone that enjoys reading in general? You’ve probably…

Did it Age Well?

At some point last year, we had the first post of ‘Did it Age Well?’. This year (2022), I plan on expanding more on the series. The next episode will cover Insurgent and Allegiant. Did it Age Well? is a film review blog series that takes movies from the past – with a minimum of 5 years – and discusses how they hold up today. As you might have guessed not many would have become popular today. A…

Fear Street Part One: 1994 Spooky season is OVER, I know. However, for me, HALLOWEEN IS ALL YEAR ROUND

Happy Spooky Month! Confession, I saw the Fear Street Part trilogy couple of weeks before October started with a friend of mine. All three movies in one sitting and y’all let me tell you that was a roller coaster. Half the time I just couldn’t figure out the genres of the films. Some say it’s horror, others say suspense, all I know is that it’s a slasher and each year is inspired by a classic…

She-Ra: The Baddest Ladies in the Universe

A year ago or so, the last season of She-Ra was kindly shoved to my face whenever I would hop on to Netflix. I could only take so much teasing before curiosity got the best of me. I enjoyed almost every moment, not once losing empowerment. I truly enjoyed how everyone had their strengths regardless of gender, sex, religion, and sexual orientation. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power were…

Second Time Coming Out

There are so many things I wish I had known before I came out to some family members. One of them is that coming out on the internet is five times easier than coming out in person. Maybe it was easier for me because the people I wanted to know already knew. The only reason I came out on my social media was to feel comfortable with…

'Girl Gone Viral': Is That Our Future or Present? Let me know what you thought about the book! #bookreview #blog #GirlGoneViral

Let us go back to 2020, specifically the month before lockdown, aka February. I was at the local bookstore, and I saw a pink book with glitchy letters. My eyes were naturally drawn to it, and my curiosity had me buying the book Girl Gone Viral. I mean, the premise sounded promising, so why not buy the book and read it? Spoiler alert, it was a read! Premise In Arvin Ahmadi’s novel, a…

Love is in the air in 'Tsuredure Children' and We Enjoyed It #animereview #TsuredureChildren

Many of you might already know that I have been struggling with an anime slump for several years. Meaning that regardless of how good an anime is, I just don’t get excited or push myself to finish one episode. Tired of that feeling, I thought to myself, maybe one can bring me back. So I did the logical thing of asking a friend for a recommendation. However, they gave me several; however, one…

Did This Age Well?: 'Divergent' First Film of The Divergent Trilogy #Blogpost #Divergent #DidThisAgeWell?

I’ll be honest, I don’t remember if I read the Divergent trilogy first and watch the movies or if I saw the first movie, found out it was an adaptation, the trilogy, and have my heart go through some disappointment with the movie adaptation. What I do remember is falling in love with the fighting scene and every simulation scene. I also can’t forget how many people kept fangirling over Four…

Short Story - No Need to Rush dont mind me, just moving writing to one website lol

“Hey Alice, Dan wants to know if you are going to the party tonight,” my best friend asked the moment she jumped inside my car. Her soft flower-scented perfume greeted my nose, followed by the slam of the door, making my ears ring and snap me wide awake. Will she ever realize that she doesn’t need to slam the door shut? “First of all, stop trying to set me up with Dan. He isn’t my type. Second…

Music shouldn't be a prison, lot less a war. Never forget the origins and who open the path for you #OurShiningDays #blogpost #music #moviereview

I found out about Our Shining Days through the TwoSetViOLIN YouTube channel. They were judging if the players were actors or real musicians. I was hooked from the first dramatic shot, and the music sounded great, even though some of the players were actors that weren’t properly pretending to know how to play their selected instrument. Our Shining Days’ Premise We follow Chen Jing, a traditional…

I Don’t Feel Pretty After Watching This Movie

I saw this movie when it just came out back in 2018. I was excited to watch a film that would make the audience accept their bodies. I had called up a couple of girlfriends, excited. To see the main character struggle and finally realize her beauty. You know, size doesn’t matter. What matters is how you carry yourself, aka confidence. Not to forget that being skinny doesn’t mean you are healthy.…
