My (Unofficial) Blogmas Experience…..

Update: I wrote this within another post of mine that I wrote yesterday, but I decided to make it into it’s own post, I added in some new things and removed some unwanted stuff out, should’ve done it yesterday, but I didn’t think, okay I did, but also didn’t, I hope you enjoy and happy holidays as well!!

So blogmas is now over, I think, was I only supposed to write up until Christmas!? That’s how it goes right!? not sure, either way I think I made it through blogmas, yesterday was the last day for it, not sure how I did or if I did it correctly, but hopefully I did decent, these blogging challenges are quite the mystery to me still, even when they are straight forward……

One thing i’ve gathered from trying this out is, well for one it’s not that easy, there was a fews times where I had nothing to bring to you guys that was interesting…..but I gotta say i’m happy and quite pleased knowing that I gave it a shot and made myself write something everyday.

Even if it was just one post a day and most of the time, I would express how I was blank out of ideas in a few of my posts, there were also somedays where I didn’t always have the energy to want to write, but that all being said it was an experience that was fun……..when I had something to write about, now it wasn’t too stressful, but there were times where I would start to get a little frustrated, not because of having to make a deadline or anything like that, it was more not always having inspiration.

As I once shared, I tend to write with random things in mind and go based off feeling or what I have in my head and if I have nothing that’s where the frustration starts to come in with blogmas, i’ve learned that you need to have some creativity and also a map of of ideas at times, that way when you do run into a dead end of an empty box of ideas, you have something to use as backup you know, you’re not always going to have topics come to you.

Sometimes you’ll need to have something in advance, at the same time however……I liked not always knowing what I was going to write and instead needing to improvise, now did always have the greatest improvisations!? Nooo, not really, but when I did, I enjoyed writing!!

It was nice being able to share something that maybe not many people talked about before, not sure if I was meant to stay within the holiday season of it, if I was, well then I don’t think I did it all that right, but who says you can’t share and write about non Christmas related topics, during blogmas, i’m sure you can write about anything really!?

Maybe i’ll just title this post my unofficial blogmas experience, if anyone ask, there was free trial, so I signed up just to see, not really grasping the whole concept of it…..i’m pretty sure you’re just meant to write up until Christmas right!? There weren’t any special memos I missed riiight!?

Overall, blogmas was alright, there were moments where I felt it was pretty good and other times where I probably could’ve been a bit more creative i’ll admit, but I kinda liked it, it was my first time trying it out, will I do this again!? I don’t know, maybe, I might have to keep a notepad by me just in case, while also maybe doing a bit of research on how to blogmas properly.

Let’s Talk: Blogmas….

So blogmas, where to start…..it is quite the keep up let’s just say!! This is my first time really trying this out, although I don’t feel i’m doing it properly, but writing a post everyday, I mean normally it’s hard to keep on top of blogging about things all the time, but once you sorta or really sign yourself up to make sure you blog and write something everyday up until a certain day……*sigh* goodness, it’s not as easy as it seems, i’ll tell you that,

Especially when you don’t always have interesting topic to talk about, a lot of the time I just come up with stuff and go based off feeling instead of really sitting down and planning out what my posts should be like and that’s probably why i’m finding Blogmas to be quite the task, right now it’s around 10pm and since going along with this monthly blog challenge,

I normally would start writing a little bit earlier, like in the afternoon around 12pm and for the past two days, both days being weekends, i’ve been wanting to simmer down and give it a bit and it’s not because I haven’t been wanting to write, I just haven’t been super inspired when it comes to topics, again I do most of my postings off of feeling and just choosing the first thing that comes into my mind, so if i’m not feeling the desire to write

I just won’t and that’s because I don’t want to just post for the heck of it and if I do happen to post a non interesting post, I also explain and say “hey I don’t really have anything interesting to talk about, but I hope this post is alright” I try not to write uninteresting posts, but sometimes you don’t always know what’s good and what’s not, I can’t really tell the difference if i’m being honest, but I still always try to make it somewhat interesting!!

That all being said, although Blogmas is a task and you find you have to keep at it, it’s not really been demanding, at least it hasn’t felt demanding, to me anyway, I think when it comes to challenges, in this case I get it can feel very stressful because you have to get something out at a certain time,

I think it helps to not stress with it, because if you do then you’ll feel on edge and start panicking about how you have to get a post out, but if you take your time with it and stay calm, you already know in your head, you have to write something, so it’ll automatically be natural for you to post.

It’s kinda like when you know you have to get up at a certain time and your body keeps that as a reminder and it makes sure you are up either before your alarm or when it rings, so it becomes a natural reaction, you don’t have to stress about it or worry or make yourself feel on edge,

You’ll just naturally know “okay better get writing” whether that’s early in the morning, mid afternoon or late in the evening as long as your post is ready before midnight or before you’re heading to bed then you’re good, back to blogmas though, it hasn’t been too stressful for me, even when i’m having days where i’m just everywhere let’s just say, even on those days, writing a post a day especially as a challenge, i’d say it’s been okay!!

Do I always have interesting things to write about!? NO, but for me, I find when even when I don’t have a good topic to share, having these chatting sessions and just talking or writing more like in this case, helps, it’s good to have posts where you just want to talk, we don’t always have to be interesting, we can just be human and talk about whatever it is thats in our heads or whatever you choose to write about, sometimes I want to talk about nothing, sometimes something and other times specifically!!

I think that’s okay and if you guys want to write about something or nothing, all that jazz, that’s okay too!! It’s why most of us created our blogs in the first place right!? We all just wanted a place to talk…….well that is all I have, I don’t know how long this post is, but I hope you enjoyed it for what it was, whatever that is exactly…….you all have a goodnight or good day wherever you are and i’ll send over a new post for you tomorrow!!

P.S. We’re at 11pm again…..

All The Love ❤ ❤

Almost A Year (July 1, 2019 Entry)

So this summer is doing some speed by’s alright, we’ve finished with June and now we’re in the month of July, it’s insane how quick that’s gone, surprising, no, it tends to always happen that way, but it’s not going to stop us from saying ” Woah what the….that was quick” every time….

In a few more days it’ll be a year since creating this blog, how crazy is that huh!? If you were to ask me how I feel about it, well for one I wouldn’t be able to tell you exactly, let’s just say it’s not been easy!! I mean it hasn’t been extremely hard, but it hasn’t been a walk in the park either that’s just my experience with it anyway, i’m sure it’s not always like that for everyone.

I’m not going to really go into my blogging experience just yet, i’d like to wait until we get to a year of it first at least, this is just a small lead up to it. I know, I know, the anticipation right haha (no i’m kidding)

I’ve gotta admit though, i’m feeling a little nervous and anxious, not for the 1 year of blogging coming up or anything, for other reasons that I can’t really wrap my head around at the moment, when it comes to how i’m going to feel with it getting close to a year of blogging however,

I’m curious to know how exactly i’m going to feel that day, will I be anxious, excited or will I not have a specific reaction at all!? That is something we’ll have to wait and find out about won’t we!?

Now i’ve been thinking (it’s actually my specialty) seriously though, i’ve been thinking about ways to where I could make this blog better, not that i’m unhappy with it, I just always feel it could use something else to it, what exactly……that’s a good question actually!! I was thinking maybe a bit more personal or something, you know really let some emotions out, but then I think is that too much, should I not!?

I could also add more interest of things that i’d want to share on here, but I don’t quite know, it’s something i’ll have to really sit and think on, not overly, because I tend to have a habit of getting my brain all worked up because i’m stressing on things way more than I need to…….AS ALWAYS!!

It’s pretty much the story of my life if i’m being honest……anyone else out there feel that way!? Probably…..but anyway, with that I hope you guys are having a good Summer and your enjoying yourselves as well as your day and I hope you’re all doing well too!!

Before I sign off, I wanted to leave you all with a song of the day, I came up with something and was thinking whenever I write entries like this, i’ll add a song at the end so it doesn’t seem so bare, you know!?

Song Of The Day: Rescue By Hunter Hayes

This song is one of my favorites, it’s also one that i’ve been singing to myself again recently, so I thought hey why not share it, it’s a really good song, it’s a country song if you’re alright with that, not only are the lyrics great, but so is the music video for it, it’s quite artsy and inspiring depending on how you look at it……probably could’ve did a summer song to welcome July,

However I chose this song for a reason, it’s the type of song where if you’re feeling a bit low or are going through something, it let’s you know “hey it’s okay, i’m here for you and I understand the way you feel, cause I feel it too sometimes” so if you want to let some emotions out or you’re looking for a bit of comfort or just looking for a new song, it’s there for you!!

Also if you’re wanting to chat about anything, doesn’t have to be anything serious, could be random, feel free to share here, i’ll be more than happy to listen, signing off now, Happy July 1st everyone!! ^_^ (now the 2nd)

All The Love ❤ ❤

A Creative Mind….

There’s nothing like creating something you know!?

The feeling that you get once you bring something to life,

Is like no other feeling….at first when you start,

You’re not sure how it’s going to turn out……

But the more you create and see it go from one thing to another, you start to see more of what it is and get the idea of what it might be…..

However, it’s still unclear of what it actually is, but that’s the fun part,

Because even though you don’t know exactly what it is…..

You still have a bit of a clue…..that’s when the magic happens

And that’s when you start to see it really unfold as well as seeing the finished result of it be revealed more and more

Which will then give you that feeling that’s indescribable…..

All The Love ❤ ❤

Theme Post: Mood

Originally Written Mar 1st

Alrighty so I had a little trouble coming up with something to write about today, I did write something earlier, but that was just a small post, so I went and asked for a little inspiration, my mom gave me an idea, but I wasn’t really sure how to write about it, so I asked my brother for a theme to write about and he gave me the theme mood……….so i’m going to give it a try.

I’m at my mom’s job today, she owns a nail salon and originally her suggestion for a theme was to write about nails and i’m not really a huge nail person, even though she does do my nails at times, so that was a suggestion that I wasn’t sure on and that’s why I asked my brother.

Now with the theme being about moods, I asked my mom, brother and other people that I knew for something that when they look at it, you know like an object or something, what mood does it put them in, as an idea so I could talk about it from my point of view, I listed a few things and chose ones that I felt I could give you my best mood description on…….

Let’s get into it shall we!?

Moon: Whenever I see or noticed the moon, I become happy, I especially love it when there’s a full moon out, it’s like whenever you see the moon it just makes you want to look at it, it always just grabs your attention the minute you see it, you can’t really help it, it just draws you in you know!?

Stars: As you can tell there’s a small theme happening, but I just really like the night, there’s something about it, but I think the best thing about the night time is getting to see stars, every time I see the stars, just like the moon I get very happy, I always loved the stars, there’s just something about them….

You just can’t help, but get a little lost and admire them whenever they’re in the sky, some are bright, some not so bright, but they’re very beautiful the way they light up the night.

Whenever it comes to the night time and the stars and the moon, for me i’m always just lost in wonder and curiosity, I always enjoyed science and learning about the planets, stars and stuff like that so, so anytime those kind of things are mentioned I get excited!!

Colors: What do I feel when I think of colors……..it depends on the color, you can feel a lot of different moods with color, for example purple I think of it as being the main base of moody colors, it can make you feel good or it can be the color that puts you in a weird mood………purple for me though I would say when I think of it I feel calm, it’s a soothing color to me.

As for the color green, because it’s my favorite color I always feel happy, I just love the color green, so yeah depending on what color it is, depends on the feeling i’ll get from it.

Autumn: Whenever I think of the season fall, it puts me in a cozy kind of mood which I like, I enjoy being in……..a little too much, but I like the feeling of cozy, I like Autumn leaves, cardigans, the way the trees are, I just really love that warmth and cozy feeling that the fall season brings.

Kids: We all know that with kids they are always filled with a little joy and happiness, they’re innocent beings who are always so curious and playful and everything, so you can’t help, but smile being around them.

For example…….I saw my little cousin yesterday and I wasn’t really in the best of moods, but seeing her made me feel a little better, she’s something that little girl, but she also always seems to know how to make you smile, because of the way she is, although she loves testing people by having them chase after her and just being too smart for her own good, you can’t help, but love her!!!

Kids know how to get to you and that’s why, even when you’re not in the best of moods you can’t help, but feel a little happy and smile whenever they’re around.

Music: Now we all know that music can gives you different emotions, so it’s hard to say what mood music gives me, because it all the feels, it makes me happy, sad, emotional, excited, music just takes you on a roller coaster, depending on what mood you’re in, will depend on how the music hits you.

Speaking of music Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect 3………AMAZING!!! hearing her sing makes me happy, she has a very distinct and unique voice and I love it!! I think I just got an idea off of this too……….

Glitter: What are my feelings towards glitter……….well I don’t really like glitter all that much, it’s fine to use when making something, but let’s be honest, it’s annoying when it gets everywhere, you think you got rid it, but glitter always ends up somewhere on you or around you somehow which can be irritating, because then you wonder where it came from when you find it.

Some people love glitter, I on the other hand, well……..I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either………it’s alright, the only problem with it is, it just gets everywhere…………

Coffee: Whenever I think of coffee, I automatically think of a cafe or coffee house, mainly cafe though, but when it comes to feeling, it’s weird because I use to always drink coffee, now I only drink it sometimes, but when I did drink coffee a lot, my mood was always in two states, tired or up a bit so depending on what time I drink it, depends on my mood.

Tea: If you’re going to do one, might as well do the other too while you’re at it and since i’ve been drinking more tea then coffee, it’s only right to give it a mood description as well. Whenever I think of tea, I feel calm……tea always tend to calm me down whenever i’m feeling nervous or anxious, sometimes my emotions will still get to me, but having tea next to me, even when i’m still feeling emotions, I don’t know it makes me feel better……….

Wrestling: This is going to be the last one that I do, now I haven’t watched  wrestling a lot, but when I do watch it, I do get excited and happy, I also get  upset and angry at times too when there’s a match I don’t like or something  happened during the match that I didn’t agree with, so wrestling is another  thing that leaves me with mixed emotions, but I do love and enjoy it whenever I watch it, even when there’s stuff I don’t really agree with or like from it. 

There’s a whole lot of different things that we come across where you just have a specific feeling towards it, it doesn’t have to make sense and it doesn’t have to be anything specific, anything can make you feel something.

It all depends on what it is you gravitate towards and what speaks to you the most, but also just random things that make you feel good and all that jazz, but yeah those are just a few things that when I think about them or see them, these are the feelings and moods that I feel with them if any of that makes sense……..

What about you guys!? What’s one thing you can think about, that gives you a feeling towards it!?

Ideas!?…..

Okay so last night I was in a bit of a thought mode, i’m trying to figure out what else I can add into my blog site, I want to be able to liven it up and do a bit more with it. When I created this blog site, I wanted it to be different I wanted this to be a place where I could not only express myself, but also share some fun topics and a lot of different things with you guys, instead of just keeping it centered around one thing you know!?

I’m always coming up with all these different ideas and want to share them with you all, but a lot of the time, I stop myself from sharing those ideas, because I don’t think they’d be interesting, but at the same time when you have ideas, you should want to share them, I mean you never know who shares the same interest or what could come of it just by sharing.

There’s some things that I could and might think of adding to here, but I want it to be stuff to where when i’m writing it, i’m enjoying it and not just writing it just for the heck of it you know!? I want it where, you can feel that what i’m talking about or what i’m sharing with you guys, you can feel just by reading that it means a lot to me.

However, at the same time……….I also want to write about things that you guys who are reading my posts enjoy too, if that makes sense!?……….even though this is my blog site, i’m not the only one seeing my posts, you guys are as well and I want you guys to feel included and enjoy what you’re reading from me, because you guys are just as much apart of this site growing than just me.

I may have created it, but you guys have and are still helping me grow it and I want you to know how much I appreciate you guys for being here and how thankful and grateful I am that you guys are enjoying my posts.

So i’m going to let you guys share some ideas if you’d like to, on what else I could bring to this blog site, to where we all are able to enjoy it. Now i’m not the greatest writer and I don’t really know the whole technical stuff when it comes to building a blog site or anything like that, but i’m always trying to do my best at bringing topics where we can all have a conversation and share our thoughts and ideas and stuff like that, so if you have any fun ideas that you may want to suggest, feel free to, i’m open to hearing about it.

Here’s a little list of ideas that I have already added to my blog site:

Entries/Journal Entries: Where I talk about what’s on my mind and talk other topics.

Poems: Where I attempt to write what I think is a poem and share them on here (recent add in)

Reviews: We’ve only did songs and I tried to review an album, but yeah…..that didn’t go well, but with the reviews though we would only focus on song interpretation with a small review on the artist whose song we’re interpreting and i’ve been thinking about trying to review wrestling again, but having them only be written reviews.

I’m still on the fence with that one, because I don’t know if i’m going to be watching often, but we’ll see with this, however i’ve kinda already wrote two reviews and i’m still working on them, but i’m still not sure with it.

Uncategorized: This one will just be random posts that aren’t meant to really be in a specific category.

Let’s Talks: Where we just talk about specific fun topics such as Video games kinda, favorite movies and other things as well.

So those are just the main categories so far, I kinda want to keep it simple, so if you have any ideas within these categories, feel free to share, again i’d love to hear about it!!

All The Love ❤ ❤

I Think I Got It…..

So i’ve been thinking about a lot of things and some are still being registered in my brain, but there are some things that i’m feeling good about and that i’m gonna give a try, i’m not even going to say that i’m thinking about giving it a try because then i’ll end up trying to talk myself out of it and we don’t need to always do that………..I have this idea on something that I have been tossing back and forth in my mind, trying to figure out whether I should give it a go or not, now one of the ideas within the idea I have i’m not sure about still, I think i’m going to see how I feel with it later.

As for the other option I have with the thing i’ve been thinking about for a bit, I think i’m gonna give it a shot, i’ve already tried it one way so I want to see how it could go when I try it a whole new different way. When it comes to the original way I had it, I don’t know if I still want to do it that way, like I said before if it gets the point where I feel like going back that route, then i’ll add it later, but for now i’m gonna try it differently and see what I prefer better.

I could combined it with this way, but I don’t know if I really want to do that, so that’s why I feeling like trying it a different way and if I happen to want to add that in, i’m sure I will………maybe who knows. I’m kinda excited about seeing how it goes this way, I thought about it once, but wasn’t sure with it, which for some reason that’s how I always tend to operate, but this time it has to be different, it’s either I want to try it or I don’t and I don’t want to have to keep contemplating things all the time so i’m just gonna go with it and see which one I prefer and give it a try, plus it’s something I feel I want again so i’m gonna do it and i’m gonna do my best to not stray away from it and let my fears or hesitations get in the way this time around.

The only thing is, I have a lot to catch up on and that’s gonna be something, unless I just make it simple and catch up with it in a way i’m not use to, it might save me some time and i’ll be on top of everything a little quicker……………we’ll see which one I go for.

If you guy have anything you want to share or thoughts on something, just comment them down below, i’d love to hear about it.

All The Love ❤ ❤
