A letter to my younger self

Image
Hello everyone! I decided to write something to my younger self because I think it's important to analyse who we used to be in the past. I hope you enjoy it. Do this to yourself as well, it is a great experience! So, here it is: Hello, I'm ''you'' now with 20 years old and almost finishing college. You always wanted to go to college and you did it, congrats. You're only 5 and a small and fragile creature. I know you are just a child and the world is a very complicated place to be and survive. People are cruel and they will always be... So, just make a difference and continue not to be like them. Don't be afraid of commitment, or to follow and fight for what's right. Don't worry and don't be so sad with what's going on at this time of your life because all of this is going to let you become a stronger woman and immune to the adult world. You'll learn some valuable lessons, you'll be disappointed, you'

Things to do in your 20's

Image
Hello everyone! I'm 20 years-old and I started to think about a few things that we need to do before we turn 30 and our life changes. 1. Travel Yes, travel a lot. Go to places you dream about, have fun! Make new friends, get a boyfriend from another country and experience new cultures. I would love to do it. 2. Read... A lot. Reading is an important thing, because you can open up your mind and make your imagination work like crazy. And, if you read (magazines, self-help books, etc) you'll understand the world around you a bit better and prepare yourself to every life challenge you'll have in the future. 3. Learn new skills Yes, try to know a bit more of everything. Find your passions and master them. Do it :) 4. Be a good friend (loyal and honest) Friendship is a big thing for me and I think that we need to take good care of our friends and make them know how much they mean to us. Life is too short, live it the best way you can an

Could you create an anime?

Image
Hello everyone! Today I have a question directed to you. So, I thought about this topic for a while and I have a lot of friends and also my younger sister that are anime and manga lovers, just like me. And with all that, I noticed that we all have a different taste when it comes to anime, to be more specific. Some of them like the romantic type, others (me included) like action/gore/superpower type, others like animes related to music, sports, etc. And what if YOU had the chance to create a story and mix all of the ideas you have about a PERFECT anime? You could create a super funny story with a romantic side and in the end, give it a dark twist. Why not? It's your imagination! :D And what about create some super gore scenes mixed with music? It gives a super cool twist, trust me. Music usually is the best effect ever, in my opinion. Think about this and give a push to your imagination. Create something amazing and do it like me. I don't know how to draw, so

If you had SUPERPOWERS!!

(Image source: Tumblr) Hello everyone! So, while I was at the bus today I had this idea of talking about the possibility of having superpowers. Pretty cool, right? Buuuuuut, instead of having it only for a day, I mean, a day ONLY has 24 hours, right? Impossible, I have to extend my limit. I thought that having them for a month would be cool! We could have so much fun, he he he! -> Hey, have fun with this ''What is your superpower'' quiz!! <- http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_is_your_super_power_1 And here is the list of superpowers I would love to have: But then, I want to know YOUR favorite superpower !! 1.  Being able to fly - Yes, It's a dream of mine since I'm a little kid. I took this dream so seriously that I simply threw myself down the stairs while I had a kids swim buoy and I did it. Result: I bled so much from my mouth... Jesus help me xD 2. Being invisible - Why is that? Because I would probably be a creep, that's all

Where I want to go: Japan

Image
Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you one of the places I would love to go (as soon as I can): Japan. And why? Well, besides my love and fascination for anime and manga, I simply love the beauty of the country. Japanese people are super nice, the temples they have there are awesome, the food looks fantastic and they have some AMAZING stores that I would love to visit!! *-*  Hopefully, I will do this travel with my sister and probably with some friends. So, here are the most beautiful places that I would love to visit there: Tokyo:  Is Japan's capital city and has a mixture of modern and ''old'' style at the same time. Besides, it's the most popular tourist destination. Oh, and has super cool international restaurants where you can taste a lot of different things.  (Image credits: www.gotravel24.com) Kyoto:  It's a very traditional city and has a lot of temples. It is also super popular among tourists.   (Imag

What if...?

Hello everyone! This week I want to share with you some of my random thoughts. Yeah, I have a lot of things in my head that most of times I don't share with anyone because I think they can be ridiculous. But I hope you like this randomness!  Imagine if something you really wish happened. I'm a dreamer and I imagine a lot of situations during the day. Sometimes I find myself not even listening to anything for a few seconds, because that's me. I'm like this since ever. Back to the topic: What if... I was from another country? Well, I'm Portuguese, I've lived in Switzerland but even with all that, I imagine a lot if I was from somewhere else. What about Japan? France? Africa? Would I be making the same choices? What if I had totally different parents? So many questions! What if... I was famous? Jeez, that's scary! xD I think about it, I do, but I don't know if I imagine myself being like that for ever and

Anime Review - Elfen Lied

Image
                                                                ''I just wanted to apologize. That's why I suffered all these tortures, didn't give up.'' Hello everyone! I decided to share with you my thoughts on this anime. I saw it a long time ago but its still worth the review. So, the year of the ''publication'' of this anime was in 2004 (I think) and it's a gore/supernatural/romantic type of story. Brief explanation of the plot: This story evolves a lot of emotion, sadness and discrimination between two types of races; the Human and the Diclonius (I'm not going to spoil much so that you can figure out what's these other creatures are). The series is centered around the teen girl Lucy who's a diclonius and as being rejected by humans she starts her vengeance journey. This anime is a gore type, but it has some really important messages behind it. It's a beautiful story to follow and it will make you want

Image
Hello everyone! So, my friend Alex nominated me to do this tag and I accepted it, because I love these kind of things! So, since you don't know much about me, except for my movie adventure, the spider drama, etc, etc, I decided to share a bit more about myself with you guys. So, here it is: 1. What is your middle name? My middle name is PatrĂ­cia and I love it. I mean, I don't really like my first name, that's why my friends call me ''Di''. 2. Share your favorite subject in high school. I have two  subjects that I like: History and Languages. And that's why I'm a Language student.  3. What is your Favorite drink? Water! 4. What is your favorite song at the moment? I'm in love with a song from Fade: One reason. 5. What would you (or have you) name your children?  I have no idea at the moment. I'll probably have kids, but not for now. 6. Have you  participated in any sports? Volleyball!  7. Wha

Anime Review - Sankarea

Image
''If my own happiness will lead the misfortune of others then being unhappy is probably the wisest choice.'' Hello everyone! I will tell you what I think about this anime:  Sankarea I saw it probably two years ago and I loved it. And yes, as a sentimental person, I cried in the end. It's the sweetest and simple story ever. Simple explanation of the plot:   The story involves Zombies, a boy that is completely obsessed with them, an innocent girl that isn't happy at all and... a complete mad dad that controls her life to the maximum and one day, she finds a boy that will help her reach some happiness, but in a weird way. Will she become a zombie and finally find her true hapiness? Visual effects: I loved the visual aesthetic of the animation and the fact that they mixed two different types of personalities. The two main characters simply complete each other.   Music: The OP song is super cute and matches the anim

College, myself and my (strange) future

Hello everyone! I haven't said this before but I'm a college student and I'm actually at the same class as Alex. We're both finishing our 2nd year and as she said, we're scared. I want to fulfill my dreams, start a career and eventually, as a Language student, go to another country and have my life there. I want to do all of that, I want to be and feel happy about my life and specially, about MYSELF. We have to like ourselves first and than, we can think about the future. It's not easy, I mean, college and people are not easy. The pressure, the mean colleagues and the fact that you want to be the best in what you do, just don't make things easy. I have a great group of friends, really. They're great, nice, funny, LOYAL and mostly... true friends. Believe me guys, we need to have someone or something, besides our family (I respect that part of my life because in a way, it's sacred) to give us some support and to help us move forward. But t

Anime Review - Tokyo Ghoul

Image
''Whose fault is it that things ended up like this? Coincidence? An accident? Fate? There's no such thing as fate. It's simply a combination of one circumstance and the next. And who is it that creates those circumstances? Who is it? It's you.'' Hey guys! How are you all?? I'm really sorry for my absence in here, but my life is with a lot of chaos and complicated situations and I don't have much free time. But I wanted to change this post (that I already publish a few months ago) and rewrite some things. First season: The first season is simply called ''Tokyo Goul'' and it's basically an overview about the main characters: Ken Kaneki, Rize, Touka,              ... Plot: The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his dream date who reveals herself as a  ghoul  (a human-like creature that hunts and devours human flesh) and is taken
