TalkYourThought

Hi guys! I'm back! I am going to this drama that go me soooo hooked. Hidden Love is available on Netflix. What made me love this series are these three characters: Sang Zhi, Duan Jiaxu, and Sang Yan. It follows the life of Sang Zhi (#Zhao Lusi) and Duan Jiaxu (Chen Zhe Yuan). Sang Zhi has always have a childhood crush on Jiaxu ever since she was young because of his gentle personality. However, Jiaxu sees her as a little sister when they first meet each other as a 14-year-old girl. Her feelings let to her first heartbreak. Their situation and relationship will change as she moved to college in Yihe and they have no one to rely on but themselves. They always got entangled in each other which brought the two closer. I told more details in the episode so if you're curious to know make sure to listen. I'll also talk about the brother-sister dynamic, brewing bromance, and their straightforward personalities that made me love this series to pieces! It's just so refreshing to watch as it carefully tackles a sensitive social issue that comes along with their age gap and circumstance.

Today, I am going to give my insights to the Chinese drama Falling Before Fireworks. This story follows the encounter of Siqing (loan manager) and Jing Chen (craftsman). In this episode, I will talk about: The synopsis of the drama on the perspective of Siqing and Jing Chen. A bit of spoilers My verdict if you should watch it I watched the series in iQIYI, but this is a VIP drama so you will need to subscribe. I do not know where to watch this completely free but do share

In almost an hour long episode, I will be sharing a lot of my inner thoughts. This is almost 5 years in the making. I realized that my social anxiety was getting in the way of my own personal growth. I was scared to make another step toward my goal to become independent and start my goals because I thought of people's ideas on me and my plans. Two things that I ask myself now in making big decisions and also some of my social interactions: Will this contribute to my personal goal positively? Will this hurt another person? The second question is still thinking about other people, yes. However, this is a huge difference against thinking "how the people around me think of what I'm about to do?". Now, it is just a proper social awareness to consider that you have no intentions of hurting anyone and that it generally is still within the social norms and morality. Ha ha! If you want to understand these better, listen to today's episode as I talk to you about how awkward I was and how I literally tried to become detached.  The moments that it just donned on me that I can't be like that anymore. I want to be a highly functional person in this society. I need to change. I hope this gives you comfort that you are not alone. There is another person out there, struggling and also continuously fighting.

Podcast discussion starts at 5:40 Were you told "kakalaro mo yan" at least one instance in your life as a child and a young adolescent? Non-gamer adults tend to perceive the video games as a notorious activity that puts people in an unlikely circumstance. What is it in games that gamers enjoy and non-gamers do not appreciate?   In this episode, we are going to tackle one of the most common stereotypes of the video games- violence. I am with another guest who will share us his experiences as a child, what brought him to the gaming world, made him quit and returned him. This is a live podcast episode, so we also got a change to hear thoughts of the live audience about gaming; talking about the good and the ugly. I want to know your insights about this as well, so make sure to check out Spotify's Poll and Q&A to share ideas to get a change to be featured in our next episode. 

This is the first time I'll be having guests over in my podcast. To make it even more exciting, this is pretty much impromptu. Our guest is learning a new language and I am confident to say that her reasons though as funny as it sounds resonates to a blot of us who become fans of a certain show. We are no different. Is it amusing how there can be several languages that we can learn and history of its origins can be as rich as the others. In this episode, we will just talk about it lightly with a bit of a comedic story and realization at the end. Tune in for a facepalming experience told!

Episode 0 I created this series to help myself see clearly. Our problems and difficulties are like sand dusts that clouds the vision to our destination. We focus on getting read of the itch in our eyes instead of stepping forward to and away from the debris. I am in probably the most difficult part of my life right now where I only see the dust clouding up. I forgot where I want to go and I forgot all the joys around me. I fake a smile and a laughter so nobody notices the itch in my eyes. Nobody notices the allergies developing on my skin because I'm allergic to dust. I realized in the passed few days that a lot of people, even those who I thought was living a comfortable life, are suffering from depression and anxiety. The way they described how it came about was also as vague as I can describe my insides. It is beyond the human words and understanding to explicitly curate our circumstances to others. So nobody can truly help you through thoughtful conversations unless you accept and validate your emotions. Don't be the first one to think that you have no right because of some other stuff. This is a series for everyone and our healing journey. No toxic positivism just recognizing the painful situation and getting out of it.

This story is escalating in betrayal. Jason had actively gone to a quest for the golden fleece but it was no easy task. No easy that if it were not for the Medea, he would never succeed. She seemed to have done everything for him but why did they end up in misery after a victory?

After weeks, I am here to give another thoughts for archiving. I was browsing my phone the passed days and I've come across a photo saying, "People don't always need validation, often times, they simply want consideration - that they were listened to. That maybe, just maybe, their thoughts might be of value". I saved this in December 2019 without much thought how this can be of use for me 'till this day. I am surprised that as much as I forgot that this was saved in my phone, this is the whole point of my creating a podcast channel. I talk my thoughts aloud in the four corners of my room and I manage to realize a lot more things than when I am just thinking it. Funny how our senses work, right? 

I am not a risk taker but this is something I need to learn to survive. All I know is I'm depressed but I don't want to stay the same for the rest of my life. So I've been fighting against myself and throw myself out of my comfort zone.

I give you the rundown of 10 chapters. If you want to hear the story out of the book, listen in my live Read with me in YT. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLInHCryVKJ1I0XSrvGkZHkWg1Ao-OsIDw

First episode I've created that is similar to the first podcast channel I had. A very random conversation, if you're alone right now and you want a friend to just talk to you about some random stuff- I'm that friend right now. I start with my first podcast then for some reason I got into the current problem that most Asians in different parts of the world are suffering- hate crime. And do you know the meaning of the word "dichotomy"? Yes, I'm that random in this one so don't tell me I didn't try to warn you

First podcast episode for 2022! Find out what my thoughts are about the book. I have read chapters 16-45 live and these are uploaded in my YT channel Sakurako Katsuragi.

My scatterbrain decided that I want to talk tonight so I did. Chatting about the problem from the last episode and discovering Laurie Faria Stolarz, the author of White is for Magic, has instagram. Ang lastly, I finally thought of continuing my long forgotten novel.

In this episode, we're trying out a new format. I'm not reading the book but just explaining what happened in the chapter. Stacey's encounter in the boiler room is about to be unveiled through a mysterious email sender. Who is this? Will she meet up with a complete stranger? Too many people is getting involved in the mystery except Drea. She does not want to do anything with it because of pst traumatic incident. Discord link: https://discord.gg/vH5f3rKzkU

In this episode, we have heard that Stacey can actually see premonitions of someone close to her dying. It happened a few times but she was only able to save Drea out of the three. Maura and Veronica were murdered and killed because she was hesitant and tried to ignore the nightmares. If you're having nightmares of someone's death, what would you do?

Quite a scary imagery in this episode. Just a trigger warning for those who's not into it. Stacey seems to be going through a lot and these things from the past are bugging her now for some inexplicable reasons. Back-to-back nightmares. Maura, Veronica, who are these people hunting her?

Trese is released in June 10, 2021 in Netflix. The komiks is written by Budjette Tan and illustrated by Kajo Baldisimo while the animated series is produced by Jay Oliva, BASE Ent. Tanya Yuson, Shanty Harmayn. The series revolves around Alexandra Trese who is the successor of the Trese to protect the humanity and keep the balance of the wprld of human and supernatural beings as a healer-warrior. In this episode, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the cinematography, characters, audio, dubbing and overall. I must admit I have quite a bias because I am Filipino and it just hits different when you can relate to the environment and stereotypes instantly.
