Sunshine Blogger Award by Let’s Talk Anime

I want to thank zboudrie for nominating me for this Sunshine Blogger Award. As always, it’s always nice to receive these awards and share everyone little things about me. Let’s begin the awards!

The Rules

  • Thank the person who nominated me for this
  • Answer the question that has been mentioned in the post
  • Post question for my nominees to answer
  • Nominate users for the Sunshine Blogger Award

The Questions

What other hobbies do you have besides blogging, and watching/reading for your blog? Like how mine is writing other writing projects and cosplay, what else do you do for fun? Do you create other things, or is this where all of your creativity comes out?

My Answer

It might be obvious to some who know me well, but besides blogging, I love playing video games. I think I am devoted to gaming. Whether I spend time playing Final Fantasy XV and grinding experience points, or I might just play a game like Sonic Mania and relieve some nostalgia in simple gaming. Games like Final Fantasy XV makes me feel for fictional characters that feel real to me and teach me the importance of teamwork and companionship. FFXV is my favorite game in the PS4 and thanks to this game, it help me make more friends in the community.

I am a casual gamer and I like to play games that looks fun. I like fighting games and venting out on the computer and showing off my skills. Games like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT make feel as if I am strong in real life.

Sometimes I like to take challenges and see through the eyes of someone and see growth like Tomb Raider. If characters is not the vocal point, I want to freely explore my area and reach areas that seem out of bounds. Dangerous or not, I want to see it and become its master.

Games with a good story, gameplay and replay value are something interests me. If I was to blog about games, I would usually talk about reviews and tell people what I thought about a certain game or try to help people stay updated on the news.

The good thing about being a gamer is that I can be anyone. I can be a fallen hero seeking redemption, an underdog who wants to be the hero, a villain or side character helping my favorite character. I have multiple identities.

Well, you get the idea, I am gamer and I am proud to be one. If I am not blogging or responding online, I am stuck playing my games.

My Question to my Nominees

As bloggers, we write about anything we like to talk about and express our ideas and opinions. Some of us have our own writing style and schedule and we write the way that can be read easily. As bloggers or even vloggers, we can write or say about anything. However, some people don’t do anything of that and they just become our audience. Can you, a writer or vlogger, imagine your life right now if you never did blogging or vlogging? Would your life be really different?

Nominees:

Shay Taree

The Spooky Red Head

Anime Wonders

Pop Culture Literary 

Grimmgirl

Have fun writing!

1.) If you could visit any fictional world where would you visit?

I would like to visit the world of Final Fantasy XV. It would be cool to explore Eos while riding ona Chocobo, meeting Cindy and CId at Hammerhead and explore Altissa and hopefully meet Lunafreya. I love FFXV!

2.) What’s your favorite fictional setting?

I think I would like a combination of a fantasy and future setting. Anime like Sword Art Online and Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains or even the cartoon Loonatics Unleashed (I think my friend Allie influenced me to love the future more lol) would be awesome. We will have access to advanced technology and have powers.

3.) If you could be any character for a day who would you be?

I would like to Kirito from Sword Art Online. He has amazing gaming skills and it would be cool to feel like a hero.

4.) What’s your favorite thing to do?

I like to play video games. I am a gamer and I like to spend hours on playing through the story or just having a great time being number one.

7.) What are some of your most beloved cartoons? (can also be anime)

Besides anime, I love cartoons. I enjoy the 90s cartoons from Nickelodeon such as Rugrats, Hey Arnold and Ren and Stimpy. I also like Ed, Edd’n Eddy from Cartoon Network.

8.) If you were stranded on an island what would you have to have to keep yourself sane?

I would have my Bible. I need to read something from God’s message.

9.) If you could turn any book or graphic novel into a TV show which would you choose?

If I could turn a book into a TV series, I would make the book Fahrenheit 451 into a series. I think if people learned about the story, we could learn the dangers of censorship and what happens if try to get rid of books. It’s important to read.

Sunshine Blogger Award

I want to thank ignite18 of Marvelously Mismatched for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award. I must be really popular if I keep getting awards. To bad I can never find time to do all these in one day. Anyway, you know the drill.

Rules

– Thank the person who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
– Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you.
– Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write then 11 new questions.
– List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or on your blog.

Questions

1. How do you motivate yourself to keep the blog up and running?

I try to set goals for myself. One of these goals is to think about my readers and keep them entertained. If not for my readers, I like to open up my thoughts here in my site.

2. If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be?’

I would pick TV show for my choice. I would choose Samurai Jack because it would be awesome to work together with Jack and I would like to help him get back to his home.

3. What was your dream job growing up?

This is a tricky one because my dream job growing kept changing. First, I wanted to be a computer programmer and then after going through a lot in college, I want to be either a reviewer or journalist.

4. What’s one thing you think an anime should never do?

I guess it would be not going ahead of the manga in certain titles. For example, I heard Fullmetal Alchemist followed the manga for a bit but then it left and made its own story. Another example would be Rurouni Kenshin, we never got the Jinchu Arc and we ended up having tons of filler.

5. If you could time travel would you go to the future or the past?

I would go back to the past. I would want to avoid making mistakes of my life.

6. What fad do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever?

If I could bring back a fad, I would bring back Gangnam Style. The one fad I feel like should go is dubstep. It was okay for a while but I never like the music and I don’t understand how can people enjoy it.

7. If you could bring any fictional character to life, who would it be and why?

I would pick Noctis Lucis Caelum from Final Fantasy XV. It would be cool to play video games and be lazy all day. We could hide from our responsibilities and do nothing all day.

8. Would you rather explore a new planet or the deepest part of the ocean? Why?

I would pick the deepest part of the ocean; I seen the movie Interstellar and I don’t want to spend light years away from home!

9. How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

If an apocalypse occurred, I would grab my sword I keep away and stock up on junk food. If that fails, I going to Sam’s Club and making it my home.

10. Favourite chip flavour?

I like Hot Cheetos with the lemon flavors. I like eating hot and sour chips.

11. If you could have the answer to any question what would your question be?

I guess my question would be this: If a tree falls down in the forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?

I watch anime on my laptop computer. Sometimes I watch anime on my Samsung phone from the Crunchyroll and Adult Swim app.

2) If you were a magical person, describe your transformation sequence

Magical Person? This may be crazy but I would want something flashy and explosive. Something like from the video game Viewtiful Joe’s transformation. Henshin-A-Go-Go-Baby!

3) What do you watch or read that isn’t anime?

If it’s not anime. I usually watch cartoons like SpongeBob or even classic  90’s Nick cartoons in the Splat like CatDog, Rugrats and Hey Arnold! I also watch Full House. I also read my Bible every morning.

4) If you read manga, do you read it digitally or in book form?

I actually read both. I like using both. I like print because I like the feel of a book and digital books are faster and cheaper than print.

If it was possible, I would like to hang and ride with Optimus Prime from Transformers.

The Sunshine Blogger Award

image2-sunshine

Sorry for the delay. I want to thank Tessa for this Sunshine Blogger Award. I appreciate this award and once again, I want to apologize for not doing this sooner.

Rules

– Thank the person who nominated you in a blog post and link back to their blog.
– Answer the 11 questions sent by the person who nominated you.
– Nominate 11 new blogs to receive the award and write then 11 new questions.
– List the rules and display the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post and/or on your blog.

The Questions

  1. What got you interested in blogging?

I mentioned this before but I don’t mind saying it again. I didn’t plan to blog, I was forced to get this account for a college class. We had to use this to get graded for work. After I pass the class, I never came back to this blog. However, once I was reaching the end of 2015, I decided to use this again to share my passion of anime and manga and other nerdiness.

  • What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell people?

I wanted people to know about me without telling them, I would like to say that even though I always appear optimistic and caring online, sometimes I wish I can say that I am either stressed out or just need someone to pat me on the back. Sometimes I wish I had someone out there comforting me whenever I get down in the dumps.

  • What first got you interested in anime and or manga?

In anime, I got interested from watching cartoons as kid. When I was little, I would watch cartoons like Looney Tunes and Disney. When I saw Pokemon from Kids WB, I got hooked. Later in my elementary school, I got into to serious anime like Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.

In manga, I got into that because my sister bought me some Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. She knew I like the anime but when she got a giftcard from an old bookstore called Walden Bookstore, she wanted to buy me something. At first I was hesitant but after I read the first volume, I wanted more volumes.

  • Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I am partially both these birds. I like to stay up late on weekends but not much on week days. I don’t mind waking up early in the morning if I know I have to do work or chores. Also, I enjoy getting things done.

  • Do you plan or wing your blog posts?

I usually do both but it depends. If I want to do a review or write the news, I just do it. On my Friday posts, I usually have things planned out and scheduled on a specific time. Sometimes on these Friday posts, I plan a special themed posts.

  • If you could save three things from a fire in your home, what would they be? Ps size, weight and quantity don’t matter.

If I could save three things from a fire, I would grab 3 things:

  1. I would save my photo album collecting some precious memories
  2. My teddy bear from my childhood
  3. My Bible
  • Do you have any anime merch? (this includes manga) If yes, what was the very first thing you bought?

I actually do have merchandise. If I remember correctly, I bought an umbrella based on the Ichigo’s sword from the anime Bleach. You can see the pictures here at my post. This was one of the coolest thing to buy, but my family thought it was weird to see me buy an umbrella lol.

  • How open are you in the real world about your feelings towards anime?

I can be hesitant when I bring up my feelings to anime but I usually whenever I a confident, I say it with assurance. I just admit that I enjoy anime. It’s better than hiding my interests and keeping it locked up. I enjoy anime and I want to people to know about it.

  • Have you ever cosplayed or wanted to? If yes, what character and why that character?

I always dreamed of cosplaying a character. If I wanted to cosplay as an anime character, I would like to cosplay as Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul.

  • If you knew money was not an issue, what is the one thing that you would do for yourself?

If money wasn’t wasn’t the problem, I would like to build a a room dedicated to my anime and manga stuff. I want to build a library collecting my manga and build shelves for any anime figurines.

  • What is your favourite post that you have written on your blog and what is the most popular post on your blog?

My favorite post I ever written was my reflection post about my life in college and where does the future hold for me. The post is called “Graduation – My School Life and The Future Story time“. I think in my blog, the only post I see that gets the most popular view is my post about the clothes for the One Piece movie “One Piece Film: Gold”. The post is here, “One Piece Gold updated costumes“. (probably because there are people who like to look at Nami and Robin).
