Stream-of-Consciousness

I want to be a writer. I don’t know why or when it happened but when I write I can feel my soul burning. Like the words I write have been chosen before they hit the paper, the keyboard, the world. My greatest wish would be to write a book. My greatest wish would be to leave some type of impression on the world. Tell my story as I lived it. Being a writer in a world where no one seems to read…

I super wanna take my blogging to the next level and be more serious about it. I was thinking of doing a vlog once I get the items which I bought online and do some sort of a review about it. I don't really have a vlogging camera. I do have my dslr, however, its screen does not flip so I won't be able to see myself and if I'm on the center or its focused. Will probably have to use my Xiaomi Yi action camera for now.

I've been wanting to redecorate my room as well and make it look more nice and presentable to the camera. I'd have to invest on some stuff though. I've asked my mom before to remove some stuff in my room so I can place a table in it but until now I still haven't bought a table. Would probably put my own art prints and some photos that I took and  post them on my wall.

Also, lately I've been doing a lot of trips and going on different adventures. So I think it would be nice to record and share with you guys my experiences and all. It would be great if you could also see everything live on video instead of my usual posts with photos in it. Because you know, sometimes words and photos are not just enough to describe everything.

And since I've been buying a lot of makeup stuff lately, I was thinking of doing some kind of a review about it. I'm not a makeup guru and is still a newbie so this might be a good way to reach out those who has been wanting to try makeup as well. It can also help me improve my makeup skills by practicing and doing some sort of a makeup tutorial. Would totally appreciate any comments and feedbacks whether its a good or bad one.

I definitely have to shell out a lot of money for this. I'll need to buy myself a makeup mirror, a microphone for recording and maybe some sort of a ring light. I'll also be needing decorations for my room, too. I'm just so excited for this project and hopefully it'll be a success. Hope you guys would still support me on this one. :-) If you have any suggestions or like tips and advice you could give me or  maybe topics and things you want me to try out and stuff feel free to comment down below or leave me message.

BLOGGING 101: Should you follow trends and hypes?

I think all book bloggers at some point had a discussion with themselves whether they should follow current trends and hypes of book community. I am no exception. To be completely honest I am not as much involved in community as I used to be so I only catch the biggest things right now. But that is mainly because before I have seen horrible things happening in this generally lovely community and that kinda makes me want to distance yourself a little bit. Whether it is a good idea or not is a discussion for another time, but today I want to talk if you should follow current trends and hypes as a blogger.     • TRENDS MAKE YOUR BLOG POPULAR Now partly it is true, trends tend to attract more traffic to your blog so if you are all about statistics this might be a way for you :D But if talking serious, I think there are good and bad trends so in the end it is really up to you what you post and what not. Being popular is not a bad thing as long as you are doing it because you believe in it. However, I would strongly discourage to say a strong no to the trends. Some of trends can actually teach you many new things!     • HYPED BOOKS KEEP YOU ON TOP This has been a center of heated discussion all around book community for a long time. Should we or should we not concentrate on reviewing hyped books? The answer is simple maybe. Some hyped books turned out to be overhyped and not worth your time. But some are actually really good. What I do personally is find that balance in between, I read books that I had on my TBR for a long time but I do also scan hyped books lists and pick what interest me. What is a no no is just reading hyped books for popularity. You will have no fun doing that and reading will become a job.     • FINE BALANCE IS A MUST So previously I told you that either you choose to follow trends or not it is fine both ways. However, what you should not do is take it too far. If you are part of book twitter community I bet you have seen how far some people tend to take stuff. Please remember that if somebody did something wrong and now people are against it, everybody makes mistakes. Or if you want to make people aware of things, do it ALWAYS in a friendly manner. Nobody wants to be told they read shitty books because they only read YA. This is just not acceptable. So be always nice!     • OVERHYPED PAID BOOKS If you are keeping up with booktube and goodreads you might have seen the recent conflict going on about paid promotions. This is where our overhyped books come. I am not saying promoting books for money is bad, most booktubers have actually a disclaimer in their videos that promotions are paid when they do it. However, the question sometimes is asked if you as a free reviewer should still promote overhyped books? Well...from my personal opinion, if you loved the book just go ahead! It does not matter if it is overhyped, as long as you loved it you are more than welcome to share your love for it too, just because it is overhyped for some does not necessary mean nobody can love it!

How Gratitude Enhances Travel Experiences Travel experiences can be disrupted by unexpected issues, but our attitudes can determine how we respond. A recent cruise demonstrated that despite delays, embracing the situation led to a more enjoyable trip. Gratitude and realistic expectations can transform frustrations into meaningful memories, reminding us to appreciate the journey despite challenges....

What’s up?

Very little if you have looked at my output lately. Today I finally opened up my blog and started looking at what has, and not has been happening to it! It does not seem that long ago (heh!) that I entered some postings. My hope was to add to the conversations being had about the Catholic Church, the Nation, what is happening in our individual lives. To say I have been disappointed with myself…

Lilac Lane

Many have lived here through the years, marking centuries of generations, making obscene amounts of wealth. And there were times such as now, when evening clouds harvest the shadows from the ground, and blood runs in red rivulets between the well laid stones. You wouldn’t know this to look at it. The lamps provide solace and comfort from the gloom, but when the fiends accost you their…
