Tagged by @yumingyesfairy. Thank you and out of curiosity, how do you pronounce your name?
Rules: answer 30 questions and tag however many blogs you want!
Name: Shaniqua (pronounced as sha-nee-ka. People usually address me by the most common pronunciation, which is sha-nee-kwa. Even though it is a headache to correct people about it, I've had to learn to do so because at my old job, my old supervisors and bosses started misspelling my name as "Shanique" on the work roster and addressing me as such. I had to be persistent in making a fuss about it until they finally got it right. That sh!t is disrespectful). Fun fact: when I was born my mother wanted to name me Nicole, but my father decided to give the name I have now and Nicole ended up being my middle name.
Gender: Female
Star sign: Scorpio
Height: 5'7" (or 170.18cm)

Last movie: Rush Hour 2
Last show: I don't watch TV often, but the last show I did watch was "Forged in Fire".
When did I create this blog: Around 2015 I think.
What I post: I rarely post, I just mainly reblog. What I reblog is anything I find interesting. It can be funny, creative, nostalgic, or serious so I don't really have a theme for this blog.
Last thing I Googled: "Schadenfreude" definition. I had an idea what it meant, but I still double checked to make sure my idea of the definition of the word was correct.
Other blogs: I don't have any. I may make a side blog in the future. Still not 100% certain on that idea yet.
Do I get asks: Nope and I'm actually glad about that because I do tend to go MIA when life happens.
Why I chose my url: "Nika" is my nickname and 1882 is the combo of my birth date and birth year.
Following: 101
Followers: 212. I'm surprised I actually have that many to be honest, but I'm grateful for them...especially since they're not porn bot blogs (my block game is strong with those).
Instruments: Piano (rudimentary level) and my voice (I really miss being in a choir right now)
What I'm wearing: A nightgown
Dream job: I used to want to be a teacher, but as I got older, I realized my level of patience wasn't what it once was so I gave up on pursuing that. I do however love baking pastries and I am working towards making a business out of that. Oh and once upon a time, I wanted to be a comic book writer and illustrator because I used to write comics in high school (those comics unfortunately got lost to time because I can't tell you what happened to those books). I still do make OCs (but they're fandom based OCs now). I just need to get out of my funk and actually draw them!
Dream trip: Japan, South Korea, Nigeria and New Zealand (the jury's still out for Australia).
Favourite foods: Junk food (sweet and savoury), pastries, pork dumplings, sushi rolls (most likely the western kinds because I can't really say I've tried authentic Japanese sushi rolls)
Nationality: Bahamian
Favourite song: Too many to list (I'm serious...too many to list)
Last book I read (currently reading in my case anyway): Haitian Creole Dictionary and Phrase Book by Charmant Theodore. I'm trying to refresh my Creole speaking skills because I forgot a lot of it since I took up a course in college. I'm also trying to learn Japanese. This is one of the ways I try to keep my mind sharp.
Top 3 fictional universes: Yuri on Ice verse, Wuxia verse and Naruto verse.
I tag: @gaypanicblog, @smylealong, @keepitmovinshawty and @50-shades-of-otp
