Collecting Postcards from around the world.

Good morrow to you and I how do you do on this lovely evening?
Today's post is going to be about travelling around the world. I want to start off by coming clean and letting you know that I have yet to leave the confines of my country to explore what exist out there in never never land or at the ends of the world. So my knowledge of the world is vastly limited by foreigners, friends and family who has explored other countries, things I've read, etc.
Honestly as much as I love Trinidad, it would bring me such joy to be able to experience, see and feel with my own eyes what is out there. I love history and tea (irrelevant) would love to see the ruins in Rome, the wonders of Venice, the beauty of Tobago (our sister isle but I've yet to even go there) and the secrets of the many wondrous places of the world.
However since my mom died, its very hard for me to think about anything else besides doing what is best for my brothers. Me, leaving here right now, when the youngest is only twelve and now starting secondary school is not the best thing. We need each other, all three of us. Its one of those moments when being the oldest of three siblings is the most frighting. What if I make a mistake? I guess that is where learning comes into play.
Anyway, my point is, that although I am limited right now, doesn't mean I'm giving up any of my dreams. Some day I will tour the world, discovering hidden places and ideals that will fuel my writing till I cant remember what writing block is. Someday....
Till then however I will be happy collecting postcards and other little trinkets from my friends from around the world.
My words of advice for today is: Never let the tragedies of life stop you. Sometimes things happen that may change your life but never forget your goals and your dreams. Always keep them within your eyesight and within your heart. Maybe you can even find something that is close to your aspirations and do that by the time.
I never used to think about collecting postcards or anything like that, but when I started to exchange postcards with other people from around the globe, it opened my mind to a whole new world of possibilities. Tell me some of your dreams, or of something that happened to you that you'd like to talk about or just mention. Ciao and stuff!!

BTS SEX SCANDAL???

So I may be late to this because this happened last year but I just discovered this picture. So Apparently Jin from BTS was showing a tutorial or something like that and fans saw in the background a condom and freaked.....OMG I don't know where to start with this but its so ridiculous that I had to say something about it. As a result of fans(??) freaking out that their idols possibly having sex Big Hit Entertainment-the company behind the band- released a statement saying that it was given to them in a fan gift. FIRSTLY who cares if they are having sex or not. These people deserve to have a private life too!! Hey if anything at least it looks like they are being safe about it. Secondly you guys know how crazy fans can get especially KPOP fans so I wouldn't be surprised if a fan did send it. Plus fans probably have sent much worse things. That fan probably sent it and said something like, "Wear this when we meet." Or some other weird creepy thing like that. People i...

Love Sick (the Series and Novel)

Noh needs to somehow come up with the money for the drums for his school club. Phun (who already has a girlfriend) needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend so his sister (who is really into boy love) will convince his father not to make him go out with his friend’s daughter. Realizing that they could help each other, Noh and Phun make a deal that spiral into a series of events that bring the two boys closer together. The plot goes much deeper than that though and lots of time is spent in the novel developing the characters. We also learn more about the people who the main characters interact with on a daily basis. Love Sick the Series is a 2014 Thai series that is based on the quite popular online Thai novel written by INDRYTIMES . The novel appropriately named; ‘Love Sick: The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys’, follows the story of two high school boys who eventually fall in love. The series takes a step away from the novel adding additional characters and plotlines to the sto...

Finland's Christmas Traditions

Although Christmas in Finland starts on the First Advert, which falls on the first Sunday of December, most people bring in the season on Saint Lucia Day on December 13 or as early as December 6, which is Finland’s Independence Day. Saint Lucia was a 3rd century martyr who used a candle lit wreath as a light source in order to fill her hands with as much food as she could carry for Christians who were in hiding. Although she would later be killed by Romans because of her religious beliefs, she is celebrated to this day. On Saint Lucia Day there would be many festivities including a portrayal of the martyr by a chosen girl who wears white and wears a wreath of candle in honour of the saint. In Finland, most of the Christmas traditions are carried out on Christmas Eve. These include going to Saunas, visiting cemeteries to remember lost ones and going to mass for Catholics. Visiting Saunas are often believed to be just as important as Christmas dinner. They to be cleaned, decorate...
