Blog Challenge #02: Why/How you started blogging?

Image
// nigmatillium // I started this blog seven years ago, in 2010, and oh my goddess, that's a lot! I remember I was spending a lot of time on anime forums, and there was a topic about personal blogs, and maybe someone told me about blogs before, I'm not entirely sure, but it seemed fun and I decided to start one too. Thinking about it, at the time I might have just wanted some space where I could write about things that I like, that interest me, and to share them with people that might come across my blog. When I made the blog I was enthusiastic about it, I wanted to write and write, but as I grew up I started not paying as much attention to it, which is a shame, shame on me, and still, at the same time I always had the blog at the back of my head as an escape place. I didn't have a topic to write about, so I posted this poem by Mircea Cărtărescu , author we were studying at the time in school. I don't have a subject for my blog now either, I just go wild, I...

Blog Challenge #01: Meet the Blogger!

instagram Along the time I think I wrote quite a lot of stuff about myself on the blog, but I don't remember writing a blog post entirely about myself. I have the memory span of a beetroot, so don't blame me if I can't remember if I did or did not do it. On my first year of college, someone had the idea of calling ourselves using nicknames rather that our real names. After looking up the meaning of the name, thinking it represents me, and also because I weirdly like names that start with an A, I picked Akira. I can't figure out why, but I always thought an A-name would fit me better, like Angela (my kindergarden name-crush), or Alex. Later, Akira turned into Aki and since then I am Aki. Pleased to meet you all! Haha! I was born in a small village that, quite frankly, I don't want to talk about. I didn't like anything about it, starting with the people. Everyone was too focused on showing others how good their lives were, and how wealthy they were...

Blog challenge!

Flower graphics designed by Freepik So, long story short, I decided to make a small blog challenge. I have a couple of free days, and I remembered I actually own a blog. I have no idea what on earth I am doing on here anymore, but at the same time I don't see why I shouldn't be doing anything at all. I am going to post every topic of the challenge once a week, I haven't quite decided on a day, but I think I'll post them on Sundays.  That being said, let the challenge begin!             P.S.: Anyone can take part in the challenge if you wish so.

Greșeli de scriere. Partea a II-a.

Acum ceva vreme, prin 2012 mai exact, am scris despre câteva greșeli de scriere . Cum postarea este una dintre cele mai vizualizate - fapt care mă bucură foarte mult, înseamnă că mulți dintre noi nu se tem să caute, să se corecteze și să învețe limba pe care o vorbim - am hotărât să scriu și partea a doua cu alte greșeli pe care le aud și le văd frecvent.  Înainte să încep trebuie să spun că tocmai am citit articolul scris în 2012, pentru a nu repeta ce am scris acolo, și mi-a venit să mă urc pe pereți. Nu mă înțelegeți greșit, ce am scris acolo este încă valabil, dar modul în care am scris mă face să vreau să mă zgârii pe mâini. M-am gândit să fac un rezumat al articolului aici, dar cum postul ar fi prea lung astfel, am decis să editez primul articol.  Acum că am clarificat asta, să trecem la scopul postării. 01. Ca și . În general folosim ca și pentru a evita o cacofonie, alteori fără să ne dăm seama, dar în niciuna dintre cele doua situații ca și nu este cor...

Time sure flies fast, and I actually can't believe it's 2016  already. It feels so weird, and so fresh at the same time.  May this year bring a lot of beautiful moments, a lot of  successful projects, and be rewarding to all your efforts.  Lots of hugs to all of you!

In highschool I was a big Tokio Hotel fan. Their songs just fit my personality back then and I think they had a pretty big impact on me. I still love a lot of their old songs and I have to admit that I sometimes feel melancholic when thinking about them, also considering they didn't release anything new in about five years. Well, actually, I don't feel melancholic anymore now that they did release a new album, but I'll write about that in a bit. My sister was overseas for a while and I actually begged her to buy me a Tokio Hotel album. I don't know if it was available in Romania at that time, but the point is that she did buy me Zimmer 483 . I listened to that album like crazy and I still have it back at home. On the back of the cover there is also a little message from the band (but honestly, I actually don't know if it's on the back of this album or another since this was a pretty long while ago) and when I read it I remember saying that I was never hap...
