My birthday is this Saturday! Yay! I'll be turning 24! I guess that means I'm almost due for a quarter-life crisis. Good thing I'm about to finish graduate school in December and need to find a full-time job. I have my crisis lined up and ready!

My Writing: Haiku Poems

I never thought much of haiku poems until this past semester. I thought they were kind of stupid actually. How much of a poem could three lines really be? But the art of the haiku is in the simplicity of it: the way the words sound, the observant imagery, and in the deliberately chosen words. After all, there's only so much space you're afforded. 

After writing these four haiku's for class I really started to appreciate them. I'm actually looking forward to writing more in my spare time. 

The zombie arose
He gulped down steaming coffee
And turned into man.

The cherry blossom
Blooms so temporarily
But ever returns.

An emerald scarf
Flutters in the breezy wind
She longs to soar too.

A heavy downpour
Forgotten red galoshes
Very soggy socks.

Have you written any haiku's?

Inspired By: Anne of Green Gables

In honor of my lovely friend Avra's birthday this Saturday, I'm doing a post inspired by her favorite book and movie! Happy (almost) 23rd birthday, Avra! 

The book Anne of Green Gables and it's seven sequels were written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the first being published in 1908. It tells the story of Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl who is accidentally sent to siblings Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert, who needed a boy to help them with the farm in the town of Avonlea. Many adaptations have been made, but the pictures below are from the popular 1985 TV movie and the 1987 sequel 

Anne Shirley
Anne of Green Gables -- Anne

{Click for item info}

Anne Shirley (Megan Follows) is imaginative, talkative, smart, and has freckles and bright red hair that she likes to wear in braids. Anne is a top student in English and has literary ambitions. Although she has a rough start in the town, she becomes close to her adopted parents, her friend, Diana, and her teacher, Miss Muriel Stacy. Dress like Anne by wearing a white hat, mustard cardigan, blue chambray dress, bow earrings, and T-strap flats. Or go more casual by gray beanie, striped tee, green vest, jeans, and nude flats. 

Gilbert Blythe
Anne of Green Gables -- Gilbert

Gilbert Blythe (Jonathan Crombie) initially bullies Anne because of her red hair, calling her "Carrots." Anne immediately dislikes him, despite the fact that he apologizes numerous times. Gilbert is practical, reliable, at times smug, and is handsome with dark, curly hair. During the story, he starts to have feelings for Anne. Put on a fedora, blue plaid shirt, jean shorts, and gray Toms to look like Gilbert. Or wear a gray newsboy cap, white top, beige vest, gray jeans, and brown oxfords. 

Diana Barry
Anne of Green Gables -- Diana

Diana Barry (Schuyler Grant) is Anne's closest "bosom" friend. The two of them became friends the instant they meet. Luckily not only do they go to school together, but they live near each other. Diana is loyal, pretty, friendly, and has dark wavy hair. To dress like Diana wear a sequined striped shirt, a pleated chambray skirt, red floral necklace, and teal flats. Or go for a fedora, pink peplum top, white lace-embellished shorts, and nude sandals. 


Have you read the books or seen the mini-series?
What do you think?

Guest Post: Empty Space

Hey everyone! I want to introduce you to Jastene of Empty Space. She's a new blogger who writes about her thoughts, fashion, reviews, and her love of Sponge Bob. Read about her life and why she became a blogger below.


♥ ♥ 


Hey! It’s My Empty Space and ME!


First, I would like to extend my warm greetings to everyone especially to Ms. Sarah and to all the bloggers who feel blessed and loved. Have a wonderful and lovely day everyone. I also want to say thank you to Ms. Sarah for allowing me to be her guest blogger and it's an honor as my first time to do this and so, for this post I will be introducing more about myself and how I begun to start blogging and calling it my Empty Space.

Hello! My name is Jastene, but you can call me Jassy. I am 19 years old and turning 20 this July. I am a Bachelor in Arts in Communication Arts major in Speech and Corporate Communications student at the University of the Philippines Mindanao Campus. I am the eldest among the family, a lover of Arts and a collector.

            Aside from that, I like to sing, dance a little, act, write, blog, make friends, write letters, write poems, collect stuffs like notebooks, pens, Sponge Bob stuff, accessories and more. I am just a simple girl and easy to get along with. I am most of the time passionate about things that I love and I always believe in the saying “Everything happens for a reason.”
  
As a kid, I am fond of keeping and writing a diary even though it is not every day that I write an entry I make sure that I write twice to thrice a week. I am more of the introvert kind of person and instead of being vocal of what I feel I write everything down and just keep it to myself. I cannot remember when I started to have a diary but I remember that it was my mom who gave it to me and because of that I begun to like sharing my thoughts through writing.

After owning a diary, I remembered I started to do scrapbooking after I watched a local TV talking about it. I was so excited by that time and then I did a DIY with my first scrapbook and of course by that time I was not only writing to express myself but I was also adding up photos and other stuff to keep some memories worth remembering.

I realized I was not only fond of writing about my own feelings and stuff but I also like to keep memories especially expressed through a photograph and as of this time, I have FOUR scrapbooks. (not a professional though hehehe)

As time passes by technologies advances and everything else does. I myself started to be hooked with the internet and had my Facebook account at the age of 15. The virtual world opened many opportunities for me to share my ideas and thoughts and to meet other people from the different parts of the world. I just love to communicate with different kinds of people and because of that, I become more interested with writing letters and sending post cards to my new found virtual friends and as of my last update, here are all the letters. Sorry haven’t posted the post cards yet maybe sometime soon.   

 Aside from that, I just discovered that I like to write poems there was a time that I was not doing anything and just started to write and tada I wrote my first poem entitle “The Flower Petal in the Wind.” As of this moment, I have 27 poems with different topics depending on my mood and the inspiration that I can get by watching TV, reading, and thinking about anything under the sun. My personal favorite topic is about life itself since I believe that there are great things that come with life and it is filled with different wonders, & amazing surprises. If you are interested about it, you can visit my blog, check out some of my poems, and leave some comments too.

Aside from being passionate about writing in paper, I was able to check out a blog entry a few months ago and then I begun to post a blog entry on my own about random stuff that I had been doing, fashion, giveaway updates, life, poetry, Sponge Bob and more. After posting that more ideas came in, interest were adding and I begun to continue blogging. I have TWO main blogs by the way that is in Tumblr and Blogger. I named both my blogs Empty Space because in I feel that I can write endlessly and express myself with no limits through writing in a piece of empty space. In this area, I can be myself; I can create and share anything w/my own reality. I like how I don’t need to pretend to be someone else and I just want to inspire many people through my blog post and even just write random stuff for fun. I am just a starter in this field and still in the process to improve myself. If you are interested, please check out my blog and follow me via GFC.  Keep blogging everyone and have a good day ahead. With love, Jassy.
