Working My Way Up

I'm finally leaping forward towards my writing career. The upper tabs would lead you to some of my work, and of course to advertise my writing skills, my page is up and running in WritersCafe.org :) The upper tab or the link http://www.writerscafe.org/LostLittleLily/writing/ would send you directly there, I also have a blog up and running there as well, but sadly it says you need to be my friend to read them. If you aren't a member already in the famous website, please do if you want to read the blogs. The other writing's are readable without signing up. My first website published short story Lotus is up and running so I hope y'all like it!

Church bells

The first thing that comes to mind are happy weddings, a holy day like Sunday gatherings at church, it's a sign of pleasant welcoming. The sound in our ears brings a soothing feeling but in some cases it could be a little frightening. I have a wide range of imagining things which is helpful for my writing career. Things we see in tv or hear in the radio influence us. I'm not used to hearing church bells, and when I do, I think of the time I was young watching some old horror movie or a movie about witchcraft lets say those mid evil times where they'd ring church bell as a sign of calamity like an invasion or such, this is also similar to this tv show I watched about vampires where the people would ring the church bell from the big old church and everyone runs in for their safety. Either way, for me when I hear church bells especially from the old times  I get goosebumps, I'm not a fan of them, it makes me think death is near or a calamity. But of course, that's just me.

Writing Career

So I've been boasting in my other blog about wanting to be a writer and pitying over myself that my family doesn't support what I love doing. My mom is indiffrent about it, and my brother and father tells me I won't go anywhere with it. My father notices that I am persistent and see's this by seeing me write everyday, one time I was up late at night and he notices me working my ass off with my writing. I was surprised when he actually smirked saying "What is your story about? Why are you holding onto that so much?" even saying "Let me read it when your done." I was happy when he said that but at the same time I felt embarrassed. I've never let any one read my work before except one of my close friend who read one that was still in the making, she read the first few paragraphs and said it was well written. Some of my other friends read my poems for class and thought it was nice. Although started writing my blogs, I still have a fear of actually publish my works, I am afraid of criticism and still editing the 3 works I've finished but unable to fully focus on them because I am having these ideas that prevent me from sticking to one project. I decided I might create a page to publish my work and post the page link in my blog (top tabs) also I'd post an update in the side bars for upcoming and recent works if you decide to read and love my works.

Yolo

Recently I've been feeling lazy and tired, must be because of summer fever and my summer lifestyle. I'm not able to do some exercise such as the usual simple morning run to kick start the morning or eating a healthy meal and having a healthy sleeping habit. I usually get to bed by 11 or 12 and mostly write and indulge myself with a day filled with fun and games. My eating schedule is way off as well, I have an early brunch and don't eat lunch or dinner until 4 pm. Some side snacks which are really unhealthy. Maybe this triggered this lazy feeling. But it can't be helped that's the way I am.  When schools back I'll be even more busy so I'm living my life while it's still summer vacation. Coz Yolo. (you only live once)

The Fun Starts

My summers been going well, boring and flying by so fast, spending my day writing my recent books and of course chatting online. Recently I've been feeling my friends and I are being separated by a huge gap, barely talking and attending to our own lives, well how can we meet I thought, it was summer, we had our own lives other than school and I pretty much miss them. Some of my friends came back a few weeks ago from Japan. And one of them asked to meet up this weekend. The post was on Facebook for a few days and everyone wasn't taking it seriously, it was supposed to be cancelled like the other plans we made but didn't work. Today, the post came up it was decided we'd go to McDonald's this Saturday, the entire group has to be there, the suggester said, I had a feeling that they weren't telling us something, and of course I was right, they labeled it as a "surprise" which is making me feel psyched to go. I'm guessing they had some souvenirs they brought from Japan, but of course that is only a guess, it could be something else. So the whole day was dedicated to planning the event out, and I was actually the one who made sure everyone was going my messaging and texting every one of them. I was so excited and I really wanted them to go, I was missing them and now that the opportunity comes, I won't let it pass without making the best memories with my second family.

Annoyed

Ok so me and my bro are like cats and dogs there is never a day when we don't scream our heads out. Its rare to see us getting along which is one I always wish to happen but it just doesn't. I pissed him off so he doesn't want to let me borrow his charger and he is only nice when he needs something from me. What a jerk. I'm so annoyed coz he is an inconsiderate bastard :'(

Chicken pox

How does that feel like? I seriously don't know... I thought I never had it, but mum said I did when I was really young. The topic came up and some vaccinations are made to prevent it. Chicken pox are really scary so my teacher say, and I agree it's true. Imagine what it was like in the ancient times when small pox, similar to chicken pox were to cause an outbreak! Small pox was a deadly disease back in the mid evil times in Europe when that came from trade ships that had infected rats and dead bodies that were not sanitized because sanitation didn't exist back then. Imagine a red pimple like a rash covering your body and with in days you die due to the inconvenience of this disease. I wouldn't want to risk it! Thus that triggered my cleanliness mode and thank goodness I'm immune to chicken pox now. 

Glucagon the wonder hormone

Okay so I was reading this article about a hormone we all have called glucagon. Credits to the scientists and authors who discovered and wrote about it for me to be enlighten and to enlighten you as well. Glucagon is a weight lost hormone and I one article stated that "imagine PACMAN circling your waist line and gobbling all that fat!" sounds too good to be true right? Glucagon is the counterpart of insulin where instead of sugar is turned into fat, fat is turned into sugar. Eating too much sugar makes glucagon production slower because it is release 6 hours after a meal. Not only sugar but continuous eating of a certain food! Yes, I know how hard it is to lose that bad habit of sweets and who can't deny food? Obesity is a really scary thing and although I'm not overweight I have to watch my weight because my family history has a high chance of me inheriting diabetes. I'm active in school but now that it's summer i'm afraid of gaining weight so as much as possible I exercise. Even a simple movement in the house like light cleaning is enough to assure myself in not gaining that much of a weight. Now back to Glucagon. Since glucagon helps us loose weight, how do we increase the chances of loosing weight using this wonderful hormone? Like I said it is produced or released 6 hours after a meal, there are some ways to increase this by eating foods with protein, like fish or nuts. A simple snack or a small meal containing protein is a good start to this. Start with a small or medium meal or snack of protein early in the morning an hour later go and exercise, glucagon would surely frenzy in your body during those hours. Exercise is in fact another way to help glucagon, moving gets the fire burning! The more your heart race the chances you are staying healthy and fit and easily loose weight. Add some spice in your life with some chilly pepper to boost your metabolism which is another to help loose weight and eat leafy green veggies as another helpful energy together with protein. Have a safe and healthy lifestyle everyone!

Asian Music

For some reason I'm in love with Asian Songs... Agree? You may not understand it but their style and taste of music is awesome! Japanese rock/pop are the best, Korean pop/ballad/love songs are so lovable and so as Chinese. How they make heavy metal sound less irritating is just so amazing! I'm not a fan of heavy metal or rock but listening to the song from Anime made me fell in love with them! 

Like this:

YOKAN  song by a Japanese Rock Band called Heidi.

Although I'm not an expert in music, correct me if I'm right this "heavy metal", "rock" or "pop" genre song twists the heavy instrumental and makes it less annoying, at least for me. 

I also love Asian theme songs from their dramas, again it's less annoying. Usually if I here a typical theme song from a drama I'd feel bored, but Asians, sorry for the bias, enchant us with their music! Even if we don't understand it, we are tempted to put it on replay and sing along stumbling on the lyrics and just humming it for the sake of our content! 

Love the PV link?

Try others I recommend by various artists:

Heidi's other theme song from Kaichou Wa Maid Sama (same place the theme song was used) Muggen Loop is the best, same material and less annoying instrumental.

Naruto Themes: Nico Touches Walls, Superbeaver... (there are more, if you are familiar with the Naruto series you would love some of its open and closing themes

SS501 - a Korean band, their instrumental and material are awesome try checking out "blank bet" "someday" 

T-Max - another Korean band who sand most themes in Boys over flowers with an F4 special "bang bang boom" -my fave

If you are looking for ballads or pop I recommend another fave, the Madarin or Chinese boy band F4 "Seasons of Fireworks" "can't help falling in love" 

And meteor garden OST's by Harlem Yu

Guang Liang the best balladeer "yong qi" "Yan Ho" and much much more!

Twitter

My friend got me addicted to twitter last year during Christmas break. I've been fretting whether to make a twitter account for my blog as well...

Add me so I can add you back @j9_perez or comment your username so I can instantly follow you back :) also please follow @embjrxp coz its his bday today. .-. ^___^ Just being me 150 characters at a time and dozens of tweets a day ;)

The talk

Teenage years... Sometimes it sucks. you get pimples due to puberty, you got an emotional roller coaster ride kind of moods. You've got to deal with life no matter what life takes you be it bad or good. So during dinner my bro asked who was the guy who dropped my dad my dad said his name was... And he started talking about his son being a bad boy who skips school and my dad said don't copy people like that. Then he suddenly changes the topic to couples getting so young these days and doing things, and all eyes were on my bro who obviously revealed that he had a girlfriend long time ago. Living in a Filipino family you'd have over protective parents who don't have shame talking about these things. It was kind of awkward especially since We were eating. they were talking a of us being so young and we should only be friends and dont go far. I'm like just laughing because my bro was blushing at the total embarrassment the Convo was heading. I'm so lucky I'm single. And I just love seeing my annoying bro tortured.
