Web Show Review: Awkward Black Girl

Hello good day and good morrow to everyone. How on you on this wonderful day? Great I hope. If you're from Trinidad and Tobago then today is a holiday for you too. Today is also the first of August which means my post of day challenge should have officially ended today. Yesterday was supposed to be the last day, BUT I want to extend the challenge until August 4th, because I started on July 4th might as well end it exactly one month afterwards.
What do you guys think about that?
Wow I started writing this after six and I stopped to watch a few episodes of a web show on youtube that my friend told me about and I ended up watching the entire season and the first episode in the second. Soo I guess that goes to show that when you're hooked, you're hooked.
Anyway today I would like to talk about the show my friend told me to watch and at the end of this post I'm going to post a link to the first episode just in case you want to check it out.
Well the show is called "Awkward Black Girl" and though it bares resemblance to MTV's "Awkward" it certainly isnt the same thing.
Awkward Black Girl stars Issa Rae as the main star "J" who works for a company that sells weight loss drugs. She is awkward in many forms of the word and has just broken up with her long time boyfriend.
We get to see the weird relationship with her and her fellow employees; her racially insensitive boss, germy girl who still comes to work although she got fired, whispering mumbling guy who always speaks so softly you have no clue what he is saying, best friend and also awkward companion Cece (who I suspect is crazy), weird woman who changed her name to sister Mary Clarence after she found Jesus (sister act lol), Nina the Nemesis, Fred the crush and a bunch of other funny characters who make the show funny.
The show starts off a little bit rocky but my friend promised me that it got better as the season went on and it certainly did. I am glad I stayed on for more.
As it went on we met White Jay who is a friend of Fred, but is just as Awkward as J our main character. There are sparks there and J is left to choose (with Cece's help) Between White Jay who understands her and Fred her crush, who is starting to show interest with her.
Tune into the show, its so worth it and doing some research I found out that Issa Rae wrote Awkward Black Girl so Hurrah for her. I expect great things from this show and (and Issa Rae) I cant wait to see the next Episode.
Words of advice for today: Do not wait until the last second to do something important. Time management is a problem for many of us. The best way to fight that is to properly plan ahead. Making sure you get everything done in time so that you get time to relax and not have to rush through anything.
Ciao for now, laterz and Auf Wiedershen!
P.s


Here is the link to the first episode and the playlist is at the bottom of that page so you can just watch one episode after the other.

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...

Kpop Meets Black Women (tumblr) Review

It’s not very easy being an international Kpop fan - especially if you are a person of colour. The reason for this, I am honestly not sure. I wonder if it is because Kpop exists outside of the stereotyped idea of what persons of colour are supposed to like. For some time now I’ve noticed that it’s especially worse when you're black. One such site that explores the intersection between Kpop fans and black people - specifically black women - is Kpop Meets Black Women . Now I’ve checked out this site a few times and there are lots of things here that you find on a typical fan website, regardless of what or who said website is dedicated too. With that said I have noticed that this site gets loads of negative attention for being what it is. That is why I have decided to review it, like I would anything else. It took me a while to put together because I have some strong opinions on this particular website and the amount of hate it receives on a regular basis. With that being said, I ho...
