NATURO: It's not JUST anime.

Today, when I woke up, and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "I'm bored." I really don't know why I said that in the first place but as time passed by, I realize that yes; I feel bored all the time as if my life has no direction, path, light or whatever you wanna call it. Lately, I've been having this feeling that I'm just a tasteless food that no one dares to touch. Sigh. And I know myself too well, and thinking that it's one of those days that I feel really, really depress with no certain reason at all.

That awkward feeling that you get when you don't want to talk to anybody, and you just want to be alone until you feel better, or that feeling that you wanted put up like 20,000 layers of barrier to isolate yourself from the rest of the world. Yeah, I get that feeling a lot actually. What about you? I hope that you don't have the same disorder (Wow. Did I really said that? Hmm?!) as I do.

Okay so the feeling goes on, took a bath hoping that I would feel a little better but it seems like it has no effect after all. After preparing myself, I fired up my mean machine; first check facebook (OF COURSE, DUH?!) And saw a post there for Uzumaki Naruto. You know what super hit manga/anime nowadays. I such a fan of it, REALLY. :)

Naruto manga, cover page.

The post was about his birthday. It made me smile and a sudden flash back came in. Traveling memory lane all of a sudden and it came to me,  how it inspired me to strive and work hard for those people I treasure the most just like him. As I was looking at some photos in the net, I saw this..

 Fouth Hokage Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina and baby Naruto.

It made me realize, how blessed I was having both my Mom and Dad and a handful of siblings by me all the time. Naruto never met his father and mother until the age of 16 (I think?). His parents died protecting him and their village from the rampaging Nine Tailed Demon Fox.

Honestly, there are times that I get mad at how "stupid" my parents can be at times but it was also a way to let me know  how they love me. Talking the role of both Mom and Dad is no joke, they will sacrifice so much just to give you the world. This manga/anime always reminds me of that.

 Minato and Kushina protecting Naruto from the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. Anime and Manga.

And I came back to my senses, I've always thought of myself as a bridge, a bridge that would be strong enough to with stand all the adversities that may come or block the way and a bridge that would help connect my love ones with their dreams. Do I sound mushy? Hehe. *scratch head* Well, what can I do? That's what I feel.

Really, big thanks to Naruto and all his effort I can now have a brighter day. Haha!

And I'm pretty sure if Kushina and Minato were still alive by now, they would be soooo damn proud of what their son, Naruto has achieved. I know, Naruto is just some fictional character but he was made for a purpose, to serve as an entertainment and to be an inspiration to others. Thank you Naruto-Kun. And today, I would just like to greet you a happy HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :)

The "bestest" birthday ever. :)

What gives you inspiration? I wanna know. Thanks! :)

Ladyboys

 Screw that 8 hours of sleep! Honestly, I barely get to achieve that kind of sleep. As you know, I work as and ESL tutor; I work from 2-11 in the evening (Manila time) and I get to go home around midnight and I swear, it's so hard to sleep at that time. So I waste my precious sleeping time watching T.V.

FYI: I am so good when it comes to surfing, channel surfing that is. LOL Every now and then I flip and flip and flip channels until I get what I wanted to watch. Most of the time, I end up watching cartoons ('cause I am a super big fan of it! *wink) but later than 1:30AM I get to watch shows like Jersey Shore, Ice Loves Coco, RuPaul's Drag Race, Keeping Up with the Kardashian and theit spin offs too, btw which are my favorites too! Haha! And lots more!

But out of all, RuPaul's Drag Race got my attention the most. Reading only it's name gives you an idea what the show is all about. But at first, I literally have no idea what the heck a drag queen was after the very first episode that I've watch. It was fun, I mean seriously? Guys in gowns and heavy make up? You've got to be kidding me now!

 RuPaul playing President Barak Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

I don't know anything about make ups and gowns or whatsoever but I do find them very interesting. From a grown ass man turned to a fine vavavoom woman? It's just awesome! And one good thing about the is you can you both pronouns he and she when talking about them. Here are some of my favorite drag queens, of course RuPaul is one of them but here are some more.

This is Yara Sofia in drag, Gabriel Ortiz. Puerto Rican drag queen.

Phi Phi O'Hara

D. J. Pierce better knows as the Afrian American drag queen named Shangela Laquifa Wadley.

My super favorite of all the drag queens in my life, Christopher Roman A.K.A Carmen Carrera. Isn't he so super gorgeous? *melt

Sutan Amrull, Raja or Raja Gemini is one of the smarted queen I've ever seen.

OMG. I swear, I am so proud to be a Filipino knowing that some brethren of mine shines in their chosen career. Drag queen Manila Luzon, Karl Westerberg.

Aren't the so amazing in may ways? Sigh. If only I have that kind of artistic creativity in me. Or maybe I do have one? Hmm? but you know what? Sometimes, I feel insecure knowing that they are more girlier (if there's a word like that) than me.  Oh yeah! Well, that's a wrap.

How about you? What's your favorite pass time?

YOLO

YOLO, is shorten for You Only Live Once and it's true. I just saw this thanks to my super researching skills (LOL); actually I was just surfing some picture about Hollywood Celebrity who has tattoos and I saw Zac Efron's. I'm no fan of his but I think we have the same "concept of life".

So what is YOLO? Well, I think it says it all. You (We) only get to live our lives once so why not enjoy it to the fullest? But how? I have no idea honestly, 'coz i'm alway on the safe side. I'd like to say that I'm no scardy cat, I'm just not the person who like to regret every single thing I do. I get so stress if I think too much!

But maybe one point in my life, I did YOLO things. And maybe, I'd try to do some MORE. Sigh. So when we say YOLO; I mean, yeah the words says it all but what to do? Sky and cliff diving like crazy?

Do whatever you like but I think, the best YOLO moment is that you enjoy life living a prayer. To be living the way you want without anyone saying what you should and should not do. I'd also like to add to that concept is to live the YOLO life is not to hurt anybody in any circumstances, yes we maybe hurt in the process but the conscience of hurting others is like a ghost that would never leave you for the rest of your life.

So what about you, how do you want to spend your YOLO moment? :)
