RAW STRENGTH IN THE FACE OF PAIN

 Hey Awesome Readers, When you're in the downpour of pain that is excruciating that it stops you in your tracks, you can't give up and just be complaining about it 24/7. You gotta man/woman up and fight through it like a warrior going to battle. You have to take in those deep breaths to breathe in the realm of calm to focus on centering yourself so you can be in control. It's like a throbbing pain that fans a billion flames of red hot iron to metal that burns like a million suns on the inside, but you push through it and carry on like a herculean warrior who lies on the battlefield of pain and survival to get to a finish line of inhuman strength that takes guts and you going all in guns blazing to figure out how to mask and manage this searing sharp shard of glass that you're facing to get to the rewarding side of healing/moving on. It's about being okay so you can be a literal and emotional vault for those around you so you can trust people to be there for you thro...

OLD BOLLYWOOD MOVIES

 Hey Binge-Watchers. SRK movies are on the 'flix. Some of the movies I watched are: Dilwale Duhania Le Jayenge Mohabbatein Rab De Bana De Jodi Kutch Kutch Hota Hai Khabi Khushi Khabi Gham Jab Tak Hai Jaan I also watched Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewaani. Watching these movies bring back memories from back in the day when you watch them with your family members. Watching them by yourself is even better because they are the OG movies that are enjoyable to watch as they have storylines filled with friendship and romance with amazing soundtracks. The choreography is amazing to watch. I was quite disappointed that Main Hoo Na and Chennai Express got taken off the 'flix. Watching these movies is an emotional experience because you'll be sobbing by the end or throughout the movies. They're funny and will make you laugh as well at some scenes. I'd give these movies 10/10. Other great movies are: Khoobsurat Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Tashan Housefull Dostana 3 Idiots All amazing movies tha...

IMPERFECTION IN DOING A GREAT JOB AT SOMETHING

 Hey Creative Geniuses, In the Asian Diaspora we try and do a task to the best of our ability, but it's questioned and doubted, well asked about not doubted as it comes across in that way. What is perfection and how can you have it when it isn't even a real thing? That's the unanswered question that should be answered in that big beast of a machine of a brain, but we can't comprehend this idea of being a perfect person. Then comes the red hot fiery rage of having enough and just wanting to be valued as a contributor in lending a helping hand to the room or place you're in. Why can't we be given the invisible pat on the shoulder for going like the flash to do what you've been asked to do? This level of raising the bar of perfection high as the sky is impossible to reach, so we crave the gratitude and the attention to wanna do better than the people who were here before but left to grab opportunity by the hand in another country. We wanna be recognised as bein...

ON MY BLOCK SEASON 1-4

 Hey Fellow Binge-Watchers, Netflix and Chilling? Wondering what to watch or rewatch? On My Block is an awesome coming-of-age series featuring 4 best friends who are each other's day one's. Through navigating the crime in the small town of Freeridge as gang life and gangsters ruin their lives with conspiracies that lead to unsolved mysteries while moving through the world of high-school becoming teenagers. Rollerworld becomes a huge theme of the first season where they try and find money that is lost like buried treasure.  Some of my favourite characters are Ruby, Jamal, Monse, and Cesar. These are the 4 friends, but Monse and Cesar get tangled in their love which can split up the group and potentially ruin the dynamic of the friendship so is it easier for them to stay in the friend zone? In some seasons this makes sense, but in other seasons the lines between romance and friendship get blurred. Then they go from being inseparable to not speaking at all. Another character I re...

ASIAN GRANS MAKING YOU DIG YOUR DITCH OF TROUBLE DEEPER

Hey Awesome Readers, Welcome to the long-winded lectures about being a great human and being spiritual and doing your part to be okay. It's a huge part of the Asian Diaspora that we're living in today. Boomers meet Millennials Gen Z's and Zoomers. It's like the matrix key in Transformers where Desepticons and Transformers can't see eye to eye and are at literal wars with the firing of ammo and robotic technology called transformium. (Yeah I've been doing that movie marathon recently I'm on The Last Knight now.) Anyway, let's get back to the topic of the thing it's about having respect for the elders and not stepping past invisible lines drawn in the sand while being loud and proud by using your words even if you get sucked into the whirlpool of anxiety while being in the quicksand of the lecture that's raining ammo on you until you've got nothing in the tank. Making sure you're listening without blowing your lid off cuz your Asian temper...

 Hey Fellow Binge-Watchers, Looking for a teen high-school drama to watch about an Asian-American kid? This is your jam right here no lie. This is one of my all-time favourite show it's got some good looking MMC's (Male Main Characters). Yeah I learned that acronym from a reading app. Man like Paxton Hall Yoshida and Des right? This is a relatable show for y'all who are from the Asian diaspora if you're a teenager. Seeing Devi who is an annoying teen girl navigating the world of high-school while being paralysed for a year, and recovering from it while finding a guy to hang out with and get out from the friend-zone is hilarious and seeing her chat to a therapist is quite interesting. The teenage mind is mad, all sorts of crazy live up there in this show. Figuring out which guy she likes is the least of her problems, while she's competing with class know-it-all Ben who she'll confuse to another level. She goes through being self-centered to being there for her fr...

DOUBLE STANDARDS BETWEEN A BRO AND A SIS

 Hey Never Have I Ever Fans, It's an Asian thing, so y'all might not understand it all the time. This is more a cultural thing in the South-Asian Diaspora out there in the typical Asian household. Being a girl means you gotta be next-level perfect at everything, whereas if you're a boy you are treated like the royalty of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The mandem is like a prince in the yard, not having to lift a finger with those Asian grannies out there, so when you as a girl raise your voice and suspicions about this, you get told to leave the boy alone right? You can't chat about when you were in the deep trenches of studying for uni you had to still help in the kitchen and house. There's a line drawn in the sand, which gets blurred when it comes to gals and guys in the diaspora. If you're a guy you get to rush off a table into your room. Ooh. I rambled on there, and got all passionate about this. I'll give y'all some mind-changing/jaw-dropping advice. ...

REWATCHING PEAKY BLINDERS SEASON 1-6

 Hey hardcore Peaky Blinders Fans, This is one of my all time favourite shows, I love this show. I'd binge-watch all the seasons again. It's about a backstreet razor gang in the heart off Birmingham in the 1900's. Filled with criminals from Small Heath, London, and The United States of America. The crime family overtakes territories and overtake race tracks.

Add it to your list. I really enjoyed watching this. There is a lot of swearing so if you're not keen on that then it's not your vibe.  I'd rate this show 4/5 as I didn't like some scenes.  Enjoy. Vote. Comment. Share. 

MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYS SEASON 2

 Hi Fans of this show, I already saw season 1, so I skipped to season 2. Watching the end of season 1 where mistakes are made by the main character Jackie who leaves the ranch life behind to run off to the hustle and bustle of The Big Apple- New York. Jumping back into the ranch life which is in the middle of nowhere in Silver Falls. Being a teenager in a small town is the least of her problems.  Being in a love triangle with 2 boys is no joke. Team Cole or Team Alex? It's a huge decision to make. From hosting school dances to fist fights and trying to be a class president and learning to drive while mourning the loss of her mom is difficult for her to move on and reinsert herself back into family life with The Walters. I was hooked to this show and binge-watched every episode with commentary. Seeing rodeos and Halloween parties was really cool.  From coaching team sports to figuring out getting into college (American version of our University in the UK). This show featur...

WEDNESDAY SEASON 1 AND 2

 Hi Addams Family Fans, From the genius of Alfred Gough and Miles Miller with the executive direction of Tim Burton, this teenage supernatural series was a thrilling watch. From psychics to vampires, werewolves, sirens, hydes, and other supernatural characters added to the murder mysteries that uncovered Wednesday's detective skills. Watching Wednesdays transfer from a mundane life into the twists and turns of Nevermore Academy was inspiring. Seeing the dark teenage moodiness as she adjusts to life at Nevermore will keep you hooked into this Netflix hit TV show.  Wednesday comes into contact with a peppy teenage werewolf who can't transform, but spoiler alert turns into one under a blood moon called Enid Sinclair. One of my favourite characters after Wednesday herself. This is an unusual friendship with a cold, antisocial aspiring author who has supernatural abilities with a social butterfly as a roommate. Seeing Wednesday have visions to be one step ahead of the cops to unrav...

GETTING CHEWED OUT IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A CAR

 Hey OMITB Fans, You're on the sliding scale of thin ice, when you recklessly run across a slippery slope of being stupidly brave and doing the dumbest shit in the book. You're not reaching the bar of high expectations that crush you like the shattered glass of your crumbling tower of confidence. You're stuck in the whirlpool of crippling anxiety that crushes your chest wall, and creeps into your descending and ascending aorta until you're gasping from shortness of breath, and you're drowning in the disappointment shown in teh windows to the soul of another person's eyes as they view you in the bad books. You're choking on saliva that doesn't have anywhere to go, because your mouth is as dry as the Sahara Desert while you're answering questions that are flying at you in rapid succession with the flames of red hot fury, while the person is fuming at you to give them a billion and one reasons. You forget to breathe and get all panicked and start scream...

BRATTY PEOPLE TAKING THEIR STRESS OUT ON YOU

 Hey Grey's Anatomy Fans, The ultimate teenage phase of being high-and-mighty, where they look down on you, and treat you like a kid. They think they're the adult in a situation 'cause they're so mature and you're not. Try and do something crazy/weird, while your parental is telling you something, and the teenager butts into your business makes you feel shame and sadness that attacks you on the inside with the whirlpool of anxiety. You try to escape the situation, but the person follows you into your sanctuary that is your room. Then you find yourself whispering all the things you can't say out loud, and you get contradicted about it and get told to say it louder, but you don't wanna do that 'cause it'll cause more damage and the wildfire of ruckus will keep spreading until you're inhaling the smoke of panic. So, you're asking the ultimate question why am I getting character bashed when I've been nothing, but nice to this person for a so...

PEOPLE OVERWHELMING YOU WITH THEIR QUESTIONS THAT THEY FIRE AT YOU

 Hey guys and gals, It's like you're being put in a hot seat that's about to explode and send you into outer space. That sweaty uncomfortable feeling comes back, there's no answer on the tip of your tongue 'cause your mind is blank. It's like you're having writer's block, but much worse. You just say 'I don't know' to every question, it's downright disgraceful to feel unsure without the certainty of what questions are gonna hit you in rapid fire succession. It's like you're backed in a corner and feral animals are coming at you and you've got no escape route. You don't know which direction to run in, it's very confidence bashing cuz you can't answer in zero point five seconds. You're stranded in the middle of an empty wasteland waiting for water to quench your thirst, as your lips are parched and drying up. It is a horrible feeling to have your heart bashing against your ribcage so fast like a racing car slammi...

MAKING A PERSON FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE/AWKWARD AROUND YOU

 Hey Team McDreamy VS Team McSteamy Fans, This is an unintentional thing that you can do, you'll apologise for it a billion times, even if you were kept in the dark and got told a line that you had no context to go on. It makes you lie awake in the dark while you're counting sheep/staring up at mood lighting; while you're questioning why a person has character bashed you so much that you're questioning your goodness, and why you're being painted as a shitty human in the eyes of a person who you admire and look up to. You're left feeling crushed to the depths of your psyche, then you reveal all the cracks in the carefully crafted cement you've built to guard your high ceilinged tower of confidence and self-esteem, as it crumbles and turns into dust at your feet. It slips through your hands like sand slipping through your fingers. There's this cold gripping fear of anxiety, panic and cold sweat that drips down your neck to drench your whole body in the mes...

NEW LIFE IN THE WORLD

 Hey awesome Readers, It's the start of a wonderful chapter if you're weeks old. Having a new little person is crazy cuz you're holding this little fragile tiny human in your arms and they've just opened their eyes for a few days to see all the possibilities of the world that could happen. They are innocent and haven't got the attitude of a human who can give you a run for your money. You see how much attention a little human needs. It's mad to think they've not seen the twists and turns this life has to offer. Yes we're in the era of technology, but they don't know about screen time and all that yet, they're just sleeping, pooping, vomiting, and being cute and cool as cucumbers. Yes the kid can be red as a tomato, but still adorable. They have time to dig their own trenches of mischief and trouble from here to no-man's-land. Then comes the crying that crushes your brain if you're not a huge fan of loud noises. Plus you gotta  watch the l...
