Social Media and Sailor Moon

As a kid, the only two anime cartoons that I watched were Sailor Moon, and Dragonball Z.

I stumbled upon this epic Sailor Moon comic drawn by Chibi Jennifer on Moonsticks.org. It shows how the final Japanese episodes of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars would be like if the Sailor Scouts had Twitter. It's too good. Plus, I think the drawings are super epically adorable  <3

The Relationship To The World

Julie Wilson (very entertaining speaker) our guest speaker on Thursday talked about the use of social media to promote her blog-turned-manuscript to publishers. Wilson also commented on other things like how her project Seen Reading started. It think that it's quite an fun epic project.

But the relationship between a writer and the publication of the written piece, is like a marriage in itself. You fall in love with the story idea, you work on it, you create it, you make it successful...or not.

If I wanted to publish a book, I would first post it on websites like Authonomy.com or FictionPress.com (which I already have under a secret alias, that no one will ever find out! :p) What I like to get is feedback from people around the world and make changes where I see fit to my story. Anyhow, I would probably do both, first I'll try to self-publish, and if that isn't successful then I'll probably seek a traditional publisher.

For me personally, I like to have a hard copy of something I've written so I probably wouldn't go the online route to publishing. But knowing myself, I would try all ways of publishing if I really wanted to get something published.

One of my favourite writerly sites is the Canadian Authors Association It's a really helpful site for writers.

Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the Rabbit.


So last night, my mom's cousins came over for a get together and I thought it would be an interesting blog post to make a "You know you're Asian when..." list.








 You know you're Asian when:

-Your folks never speak UNDER 10 decibels at family gatherings.
-Your friends automatically assume you’re good at math.
-You received little red envelopes containing money on special occasions. (like Chinese New Year!)
-Your parents are never satisfied with your grades
-You don’t own any real Tupperware, only used margarine tubs, takeout containers, and jam jars.
-Your parents house is always cold.(it's cold in my house)
-Your parents grow vegetables in a garden. (it's the crops, don't mess with my pa's crops)
-Your parents enjoy comparing you to their friend’s kids. (they still do)
-Your first generation relatives have a statue of an obese, bald-headed man surrounded by children.
-Your parents or relatives have goldfish swimming in an aquarium.
-Your parents buy you clothes and shoes many sizes too big so you can "grow" into them and wear them for years to come. (my mom's theory, then I starting buying my own clothes)
-You call all your parents friends "auntie or uncle". (still do that)
-Your parents never kissed you…your parents never kissed each other.(It'd be odd if I did)
-Your friends try to impress you with pathetic imitation languages, like the ever so popular "ching chong woo bok chi"…etc. (I was teased too many times in elementary for that)
-You hated that black herb medicine that your parents forced you to drink when you were sick. (they still force me, luckily, I haven't been sick for a while)
-You keep fresh garlic and ginger in the kitchen at all times.
-You were told by your friends you all look alike. (many many times)

I also found a funny video on family gatherings, and yep, I do believe this Youtuber has got it bang on. (maybe a little exaggerated but nonetheless, funny)


Hope you enjoy the video!
