Welcome to Halloweentown!

AKA the blog where I tell you about the two things that matter during October. Really, when I think of Halloween, only two things come to mind: cheap candy and Halloween movie marathons.1. Cheap candyThe best kind of candy is kind that's on sale. You know which ones I'm talking about: those hard to resist deals that you weren't even looking for, the sales that pretty much force you to buy candy...

October Giveaway!

IT'S OCTOBER! IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S MONTH-LONG HALLOWEEN!October (AKA Halloween) just means the world is that much closer to the month of gift giving. In early honor of that gift giving month, I introduce to you my very first giveaway!(**and the crowd goes wild!**)Anyway, I'm a total noob when it comes to giveaways, so please bear with me. Also, I'm not very good at graphics, so I can't offer you...

Dear Diary: Day 11 | Last Blog of the Month!

Did you learn anything about yourself?It's officially the last day of September, which means this is the last blog of the month! Of course, this also means I need to wrap up this month's challenge, so I decided to focus on these two prompts.First, one of the most important things...

Dear Diary: Day 10 | The Writer's Choice I Didn't Earn

Writer’s choice. You’ve reached the halfway point, so you’ve earned it.I've actually not earned this writer's choice fair-and-square since I actually haven't reached the halfway point, but oh well. What's life without a little rebellion, right? Well, this is me rebelling against the system. I AM GIRL, HEAR ME ROAR!Lemme split this thing up into two sections. Since it's a "halfway point"...

Dear Diary: Day 09 | Good Week? Bad Week?

How has your week been going?Someone please scold me because I've totally slacked off on this blog event thing. I should be put in a corner or something, seriously. I just couldn't really find anything to talk about, so I pretty much just stopped being a productive Mibbian, as per usual. That's why I'm making a super late comeback with this really simple blog prompt.My week has been pretty busy. I...

Dear Diary: Day 08 | Stress

What’s stressing you out in your life right now?Warning: This is basically me complaining and probably not making any sense.I could easily answer this question with one word: school. Unfortunately, that can't be the end of this blog, so allow me to explain what I mean by school because I don't just mean school, school; when I say school, I actually mean science, as in, the two sciences that I'm...

Dear Diary: Day 07 | To-Do List (Read: "To-Avoid List")

Post a to-do list.To-do lists are pretty much useless to me. I'm so insanely good at putting things off or avoiding certain tasks (which is a terrible quality to have, mind you) that a to-do list would do nothing but remind me of the things I've been meaning to avoid. Just so you can have an idea of some of the things I know I need to do, but haven't yet, here's a list of slightly to majorly...

Dear Diary: Day 06 | Song Obsessions

Blog about some songs you’ve been into lately.So... this is basically where you discover that I am trash for certain things in music. You'll probably be able to smell my stench all the way from wherever you are by the end of this post. Feel free to spray me with various scents, but rest assured, you cannot mask my trash. I will try to contain myself, though.PS, I misread the prompt as "Blog...

Dear Diary: Day 05 | What Fascinates Me?

What’s something you find fascinating or would like to learn more about?This is pretty much the moment you and I realize how basic I am. I'm so basic that I can't even find anything to say about these blog topics. I've honestly just been pancaking around these past two days, trying to figure out which prompt to blog about, and I finally settled on this.Aside from the well-known fact that I am a...

End of Culture Month + Near the End of College

Whew, Mibba's Culture Month Event is officially over! I'm a bit disappointed that it's over as it's really given me the chance to share one of my main cultures with others. It's also been a bit of an eye opener because I had to share things about my particular culture that is pretty much common knowledge for us here in the islands. At times, I felt like I was sharing dummy info because it seemed...

Voice of the Hawaiian People (Mibba's Culture Month Event)

Mission of the Day: Blog about your favorite artist from your region.Aloha mai kākou!As you can see, today's mission is all about sharing about my favorite artist from Hawaiʻi. Now, this is a bit tricky because I don't really have a favorite artist. Granted, there are many artists that I enjoy listening to, many of which have been around since I was a wee keiki. Some of these artists include Ten...

Your Everyday Stereotypical Hawaiian (Mibba's Culture Month Event)

Mission of the Day: Post a blog poking fun at some of your culture's stereotypes.Aloha mai kākou!Obviously, today's topic is about stereotypes. Honestly, I haven't a clue what sort of stereotypes are out there, or at least, what people outside of Hawaiʻi actually stereotype us as. I think I've only heard one or two in passing by exchange students. After a long while of thinking and googling...
