Are you currently learning from anyone how to play any instruments?
Nope. I’ve never been musically-inclined and it’s always been impossible for me to pick up skills in any instrument, even if we had music classes in my old school from first grade all the way up to senior year.
Are you one of those people who always tend to think critically in issues?
Yes. Sometimes my emotions would want to take over, but at the end I always prefer to be skeptical, ask a lot of questions, and see all sides in an issue. I feel like critical thinking is such a big part of the degree I took up anyway, especially with all the hullabaloo about fake news and which news sources to trust, so...
Do you know anyone who is overly flirty with people? Girl or a boy?
I can remember a few girls from my high school but they could have changed within the last four years. I remember several girls and boys from college, too.
When was the last time you had any kind of pork? What kind was it?
Last night. Pork belly.
Are you someone who normally eats a full breakfast every single morning?
No, not normally. If I wake up feeling a little better than usual I’ll go downstairs and get some bread and eggs, but most of the time I skip all meals except dinner.
Do you believe vampires are real?
No.
Are you someone who has to hide the things you like around friends?
Sometimes, just because I genuinely want to keep some things that I enjoy to myself. I also have some interests that are a little uncommon and simply won’t make for a productive or fun conversation, like wrestling, so I don’t raise topics like those around my friends. ‘Hide’ is a little harsh, though...my friends certainly don’t make me feel like I have to hide my true self. At the end of the day I just like keeping quiet about my interests and letting others have the spotlight.
Have you ever been to a porn website? Were you addicted to it afterwards?
Yeah since middle school lol. I still remember how big of a sin it had felt when I typed in a URL for the very first time. Anyway, I wouldn’t say I was ever a porn addict but I did have phases where I’d watch nearly everyday, and then stop for months, and then repeat the habit again.
What is the most disgusting thing you think the opposite sex can do?
Cat-calling is one of them < Jesus, I remember how catcalling was such a pre-Covid norm...one of the very few reasons why I’m glad to be staying at home.
Would you rather be able to teleport or freeze time? Which one seems best?
Teleport. I don’t think freezing time will help me especially if it’s to be stuck in a happier moment; I’ll have to unfreeze in the end anyway, and it’s just a sucky truth that I have no control over. I feel that teleporting has a lot more uses, like skipping traffic lol.
Have you seen the movie Twister? Did the tornadoes look real to you?
I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of it. The only Twister that comes to mind is the party game.
Have you actually been through a devastating natural disaster before?
We always get devastating hurricanes a few times a year but my family and our home has always been on the fortunate side since my parents made sure we relocated somewhere that wasn’t prone to floods. The old house we used to live in, though, is super vulnerable to typhoons and it has definitely flooded all the way up to the ceiling there before. It’s a big reason why we moved.
Did your mom ever fix your eggs and bacon into a smiley face as a kid?
I wasn’t fed bacon as a kid, so I guess not.
What fast food place, in your opinion, has the best french fries?
Jollibee, and this is a hill I would happily die on.
Do you believe one day aliens might take over the planet Earth?
No. I like to hold out belief for aliens, but I wouldn’t want to immediately assume that they would be the colonizer type.
Are you someone who always looks for sales when you go shopping somewhere?
I don’t actively seek them out, but if I spot an item I like that’s on sale then I’m more likely to buy them and just consider it my lucky day, heh.
Are you constantly re-arranging your bedroom? Or do you not like change?
I only do once every few years. The last time I did was a couple of weeks ago; the last time before that was 4-5 years ago.
Who would you consider the best teen actor or actress out there now?
The only one I could think of is Jacob Tremblay, but I’ve only ever seen him in Room and that movie’s five years old now. Oh but Iain Armitage is amazing too.
When did you last cuddle up next to someone and watch a movie?
Start of the year would be my best guess.
Where would people most likely find you out on the weekends?
Just home, unless my family or friends made plans to go out. For the most part though, I like catching up on rest after a week of school/work.
Do you like the school you attend or is it just pretty bland to you?
I loved my university. The atmosphere there felt extremely freeing and nobody gave a shit about what anyone wore, what pronouns people prefer for themselves, etc. It was such a beautiful place to explore and figure myself out in the last four years.
Do you remember when they used to actually throw candy out at parades?
I don’t think I’ve been to a parade.
What is your favorite childhood memory? Who did you share this with?
Playing outside nearly every afternoon, then going home for dinner and alternating between Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network because our favorite programs were all over those three channels. I shared these with my neighbors (for playing outside), and then with my siblings and cousins (for watching TV).
Are there any windows open in your house right now? Which ones, if so?
A couple of my windows are open to let some of the cold air in.
Is it currently your favorite season? If not what is your favorite?
Yes, I love the rainy season. I haven’t had to worry about sweating these days which makes life a lot less annoying.
Do you like soda pop? If so, which is your favorite and least favorite?
Don’t those two words refer to the same thing? Lol but I don’t drink soda. I’ve tried so many times to get into it but it’s always felt like putting my tongue and throat on fire.
Does it bother you when people burp around you or do you do it too?
I do it around family and close friends. They can burp around me too. Personally, I only find burping gross if it’s strangers that I catch doing it.
Do you have any siblings you’re embarrassed of being related to?
A little bit but it’s whatever.
Which noises do you currently hear right now? Can you control those?
There’s a Good Mythical Morning video from my phone, the fan whirring behind me, and a dog barking somewhere outside. The only noise I can’t control is the dog, because they aren’t mine and I don’t know which house they’re from.
What is one thing you’ve never understood throughout your life?
Catcalling. Like, why?
When you see an old person do you think ‘sweet’ or ‘creepy?’
For the most part, neither. I’ve thought ‘sweet’ or ‘creepy’ about old people in the past, but they have to be doing something to cause me to feel that way.
What is it that makes old women want so many cats in their life?
Company, I’m guessing. But I don’t think it’s fair to generalize old women lol.
How many times a day do you wash your face? Do you wash it really good?
Once, when I take my daily shower. I’ve always had clear skin so I don’t like washing it too hard, or too much, or using products on my face. Just a few splashes of water have worked fine for my face in the last 22 years.
Would you consider yourself to have a boring life or a really exciting one?
I’d say it’s generally exciting right now because a lot of changes are happening and I’m finally out of school and pursuing real jobs and everything, but Covid has definitely given it a boring turn.
Do you ever talk to people you met online through webcam? Or is that weird?
I’ve only done so with Carley. It’s not weird if you’re already close.
Who was the last person you kissed and why did you kiss this person?
Gab. She was leaving.
How many fish have you owned in your lifetime, so far? Did they all die?
We were allowed to own a lot of goldfish when we were kids but yeah, they’re all dead now.
If you were to get drunk right now, how would you most likely act?
Cry, drunk text the wrong person, try to take the rest of this survey drunk.
How many people have you kissed in your lifetime so far? Who were they?
One.
Are you going to post this on a social networking site after you take it?
Yeah, that has always been the point of this Tumblr.
Is there something people in general do that bothers you a lot?
This only applies to Christians, but being jerks and going back to their old ways immediately after attending church. I have never understood that, and never will. Like, why even attend???? What is your point of being there??
Has anything supernatural ever happened to you? What were these events?
Nothing like seeing ghosts or whatever but I’ve had some odd premonitions before, especially on the day my grandfather died.
How many concerts have you seen so far in life? Were they good ones?
I’ve gone to a lot of local gigs that feature popular local acts; the best ones I saw were Ysanygo, The Ransom Collective, and BP Valenzuela (who I’ve seen thrice, aaaahhhh). Foreign acts I’ve watched are Coldplay, One Direction (kind of twice, but it’s a long story), and Paramore (twice). I don’t remember disliking a singer or band that I’ve seen perform.
Do you like doing anything your friends wouldn’t expect you to do?
Doing surveys is probs on top of that list, ha.
Can you sing very well or are you considerably tone deaf?
I’m not tone-deaf, but I don’t have a talent in singing.
Do you ever look back on the past years and wish you could go back?
Yes.
When will the next time be you’ll talk to the cousin you’re closest to?
I have no clue. Christmas is my best guess.
Are you really into vintage things? Have you ever been into that stuff?
Not so much, but investing on a turntable is consistently on my mind as I’ve always had a dream of collecting vinyl records.
When was the last time you bought new sheets for your bed?
It’s been a while. Can’t remember.

Hey! You had a post about how to discern religious life but it was erased, could you please post it again or help me? God bless you
Hi! So the original post about discerning religious life was posted from my personal blog, which was deleted when I entered the convent last August. As I have since discerned out of that community, the original post contained many particularities about my life which are no longer true. Below is what I wrote, but somewhat edited to reflect the current situation.
Vocational discernment can be split into two categories. There’s the general, the things that are good recommendations for anyone, and the particular, which has to do with how God particularly reveals His will to each person. God’s call to each person is as unique as they are, so no two vocation stories are the same. I’ll structure this post around general advice.
To reiterate: this is general advice. That means it’s usually a good idea, but there may be reasons why some of these aren’t possible or prudent in your particular circumstances. Being able to apply generalities to specific circumstances can be hard, which is why I recommend getting a spiritual director to do it for you.
Prayer
Daily Eucharistic holy hour. Not everyone has access to the Blessed Sacrament, but if you can pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament, whether exposed or in the Tabernacle, do so. If you can’t make an hour daily, aim for at least 20 minutes daily, and a weekly holy hour can’t hurt. But don’t lie to yourself about how much time you have; if you think something is important, then you’ll make time for it, no matter how busy you are. And if you want to marry Jesus? Well, you should try dating him, as our beloved chaplain has told me numerous times.
Daily Mass. Again, this can be easier or harder depending on your location. At college, it was a 30-minute walk, maximum, to daily Mass, and usually less. If you’re in the Middle Of Nowhere, the closest daily Mass might be an hour away, depending on the day of the week. Be prudent.
Daily Rosary. Entrusting one’s vocation to Mary is a good move, 10/10 recommend. For me, this was particularly fruitful when I shifted my prayer intention from knowing my vocation to praying specifically for a vocation to religious life. Granted, this prayer was said through a clenched jaw and gritted teeth. While I willed to have avocation, I didn’t desire one. (Don’t worry, that has since changed.)
Liturgy of the Hours. While this didn’t play a large part in my discernment (I lack consistency), praying the liturgy of the hours is quite fruitful and can offer insight. Those in religious life pray the liturgy of the hours every single day, so attuning yourself to the prayer of the Church makes the transition to religious life smoother, if in fact you’re called to religious life. Praying the liturgy of the hours steeps you in the prayer of the Church in a way that I can’t quite articulate. You can add in one of the “hours” (they aren’t a whole hour, closer to 15 minutes) at a time. I built the habit by starting with lauds and compline, then added vespers, though I’ve since lost the habit.
Guidance
I am fortunate to have a good spiritual director. One of the things we did was one day sit down, and make a list of things I need to be holy, and the list looked a lot like active religious life. It’s hard to overstate the benefits of having direction from someone wiser and more objective than oneself. I’ll add the caveat, though, that you ought to be serious about your
If there’s a vocations director in your diocese, consider talking to him. If you’re a man considering seminary, then pull out your dang phone, call the dude, and have some coffee or something with him. At the very worst, you’ll have made friends with a priest (!!!). For women, the vocations director who will have a larger role is not the diocesan vocations director but the vocations director for the community/communities you look into.
Books. Read about religious life, about the priesthood, about vocational discernment, even about marriage if you find it beneficial. I’ve read And You Are Christ’s by Fr. Thomas Dubay, S.M. [found it mildly annoying, and thus wrote a couple of salty comments in the margins, but it is theologically solid], Discerning Religious Life by Sr. Clare Matthiass, CFR [less substantive, but heavy on practicals, and comes with a discussion guide for discernment groups], and And Mary’s Yes Continues by the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist [my personal fave, due to my Dominican leanings probably]; all on religious life/discernment. I read To Save a Thousand Souls by Fr. Brett Brannen, on discerning the priesthood and loved it. I never really got around to reading about marriage, though.
Action
Talk to priests or religious! Visit them! If you want to be a sister but have never met one before, then go visit some nearby, and bring your friends. If you are in a place with a lot of young adults, see if you can get them to come to you.
Start or join a discernment group. “To work for another’s vocation is to secure your own,” according to JPII, I think. Women, get your women friends together. Men, get your men friends together. Pray for each other and discuss your possible futures. Read books together.
Go on retreat. I’ll wager that it’s impossible to hear the Lord’s voice amid the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day. You don’t have to go on a vocations retreat to escape into silence and listen for the Lord; many communities (monasteries or convents) will accept individual retreatants, and some have group retreats that are not for vocational discernment. If you have limited time or resources, you might not want to go on retreat unless it’s for vocational discernment with a community, but if you’re in the early stages of discernment, a pressure free weekend with some religious might be exactly what you need. Plus, that’ll be more opportunity to talk to priests or religious, our first item on the list!
Vocations retreats. This isn’t guaranteed. Oftentimes, communities will have you talk with the vocations director before going on retreat with them, and the vocations director may not think that such a retreat would be fruitful to you. I’ve been turned down multiple times for retreats with a couple of different communities. If you’re a woman, you might find that the thrice-yearly retreats hosted by the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist are beneficial, since they’re geared toward women at any stage of discernment.
Attachments
One thing that seriously inhibited my discernment was a strong attachment that I did not want to eliminate. I learned the hard way that until you let go of even the stickiest of your attachments, you can’t discern properly. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be discerning; it does mean that God isn’t going to give you an answer that you aren’t ready to hear. You should at least be able to relinquish everything if God asked you, although that doesn’t mean that you have to drop it all at the moment. I justified my refusal to detach in part because I had the potency to detach, and that was sufficient, right? Maybe in some cases, but I know that I needed the actuality of detachment and was too much of a coward for too long to do it.
Opposite-sex friendships
It’s unfashionable nowadays to caution restraint in opposite-sex friendships. In which case, call me u g l y because I’ve got some tea for you: you have to actually be careful about your opposite-sex friendships. Prudence governs this, as all things. Discernment is analogous to dating in that you’re trying to figure out if you ought to marry a particular Person. Furthermore, even though God is closer to you than you are to yourself, it especially bears similarities to a long-distance relationship. For one, if you decide you don’t want to hear from God, or deliberately make time to spend with Him, then it’s pretty easy for things to fade. God is a little subtler than showing up at your door with flowers; His romantic gestures are closer to giving you a sunny day you didn’t expect, and it takes fostering an awareness of the presence of God to notice them. Secondly, your relationship with God is supernatural. While we interact with God materially through the sacraments, and everything we encounter is an expression of His love for us, the physical presence typical of a romantic relationship isn’t there. This can make it easier to develop an attraction to someone new than it would be if you had someone that you bonded with on the more tangible natural level.
There is a natural attraction between the sexes. Intimacy between members of the opposite-sex tends toward the romantic. This doesn’t mean that every case of close opposite-sex friends is going to end in dating, but it does mean that one has to be prudent. If it’s hard to be friends with that cute dude from bio because you have a crush on him, it’s okay to give yourself distance. Sure, a saint would be able more intimately acquainted with someone and still not develop an attraction. The saints are also able to undergo torture and, like Christ, forgive their persecutors and ask God’s mercy for them. The rest of us aren’t quite that holy (yet), which is why it’s prudent for us to avoid, as far as we are able, occasions of anger. Furthermore, we don’t (or at least we shouldn’t) get overly frustrated with ourselves and think we’re terrible people because we find it hard to love people who hurt us. Likewise, you’re not a terrible person if you find it hard to be in a close friendship without being attracted to someone. If the close friend needs to become a casual friend, if the casual friend needs to become an acquaintance, that’s okay. However, the analogy to anger is not perfect, because that we should work to eradicate anger from within us (see Ephesians 4:31), being attracted to someone isn’t per se bad. If you’re seriously discerning (that is, you want to know for certain whether or not you’re called to religious life, and you won’t start dating unless you get an unequivocal “No,” from the Lord) then you have to shut that attraction down, because it will only drown out the opportunity to hear what the Lord is whispering to you. If dating is still on the table, then you need not be as strict. As Paul says,
“If you marry, however, you do not sin, nor does an unmarried woman sin if she marries; but such people will experience affliction in their earthly life, and I would like to spare you that.” – 1 Corinthians 7:28
If you’re not sure where you fall on the spectrum of “sorta looking into religious life” to “seriously discerning a call,” the rule of thumb that the good Padre uses for dating is that you shouldn’t start dating exclusively unless you think God is calling you to marry that person. I’d modify it slightly for discernment: you should start dating the Lord exclusively if you think He is calling you to religious life.
Notes:
Unfortunately, it is common that churches be locked during the day and thus unavailable for prayer. One thing you can do is talk to the priest, and ask if he’d be willing to unlock it so that you can pray. Even if you can’t pray with the Blessed Sacrament, setting aside time for contemplative prayer, perhaps with images to focus on, is important.
If you live in a rural area, don’t have your own transportation, have necessary work or obligations to your family that are incompatible with daily Mass times, or all of the above, it may not be reasonable to expect to go to daily Mass. But if you’re say, a college student in a big city with a flexible schedule and many nearby churches, then ax a couple of episodes of Netflix and go receive our Lord in the Eucharist.

Reasons for Why I Believe Obiyuki could be the “Romance that Cuts through Fate” referenced in the Manga:
In college, I took two amazing courses--scratch that I took one amazing course and one semi-disappointing sub-par course--Fairytales and Graphic Narratives, respectively. And until right this very minute, I believed them to be an utterly, though fascinating, waste of my time and tuition though they made me smile. Okay, it was college so they didn’t always make me smile because finals are the worst but I digress the point I am trying to make is this:
I HAVE AN EPIPHANY CONCERNING MY BELOVED SHIP OBIYUKI DUE TO MY TEACHINGS!!
So, first and foremost the birth of my epiphany came from thinking back to my class on Fairytales when we studied Snow White! (Graphic Narratives didn’t really teach me much other than how to think more critically about...Graphic Narratives, so I guess it really doesn’t deserve any cred for this post TBH, lol.)
But like I said we studied Snow White.
Not this one:
Or whatever this one was supposed to be (sorry not sorry):
But, the original one. There are two versions (maybe there are more but I forgot them if there are) of the Grimm’s version of Snow White. In the very most original version, everything pretty much happens as we all remember it minus the singing: Snow White makes Queen step-trash jealous by her beauty, Queen step-trash tries to have her killed, due to her amazing beauty Hunstman is a wuss and lets her live because he’s weak to a beautiful damsel, Snow White plays Goldilocks and breaks into a dwarven settlement, the dwarves also wuss out and take pity on her because she is pretty and can cook/clean for them, then step-trash gets angry realizing she is, in fact, alive and goes out to kill her herself. Now, this is where everything diverges from what we know. In the original version step-trash has to try several times to kill her. Once with a bodice/corset torture device that basically suffocates her until the dwarves get home and cut her out of it, twice with an evil hair comb that kills her until the dwarves pull it out of her hair, and then thrice with the age-old apple trick. The poisoned magic apple gets lodged in her throat and she becomes a stone statue for all intents and purposes, so what do the dwarves do? What any logical group of men would do with a beautiful woman who isn’t decaying but still dead in their eyes, lock her in a gorgeous crystal casket so that they can still gaze upon her beauty on the daily! From here on there are two different endings to the Snow White saga. The very, very, first one published states that the Prince comes along says, “ooooooooh pretty, let me take her home with me and put her on display” and sits around gazing at her all the time until someone in the castle gets pissed off and hits Snow White’s corpse which dislodges the apple finally and wakes her up. What an awkward way to wake up yeah? And then the poor girl gets married to the Prince--ta-da! The second version makes it a lot better ending for poor Snow White. Someone trips while hauling the casket to the palace and dislodges the apple and then the Prince sweeps Snow White off her feet and yay happy ending they get married and now the Prince doesn’t seem as creepy just staring at a dead person all day long pissing off his staff.
(Whooo that was a lot of background info, sorry, and also I know that I could also do a huge comparison post on the tales of Snow White versus our Shirayuki tale, but that is for another day!!!)
Depending on what you want to go with there are so many ways you can analyze the story of Snow White--all of them, old, less old, new, even our beloved Shirayuki’s story--but one of the things that stick out in my mind is how in every single version of Snow White she is always a trophy of some sort. The Prince is always going to get his trophy wife in the end. Even in Shirayuki’s case, if she does end up with Zen (which I’ll die if she does) she will be nothing but a trophy wife. Even though Zen is precious and certainly not a bad guy by any means, he is a Prince, therefore their relationship will not be the same as normal couples have. She won’t be allowed to be an Herbalist and tend to the sick who may infect her and kill her before she can provide an heir. And poor Zen will still be stuck behind a pile of paperwork and responsibility to his Kingdom that he dearly loves.
But, hey who knows, maybe Sorata will go against the entire universe she has built in her storytelling and let Shirayuki be wild and free and a Prince’s wife...
I think this is where “A Romance that Cuts through Fate” comes in to play. Hopefully, if you’ve made it this far in my post (bless you if you have) you’re thinking what I’m thinking. Or maybe you’re thinking I’m a lunatic.
ANYWHO, IF EVERY SINGLE SNOW WHITE ENDS UP WITH THE PRINCE THEN REALLY HOW IS ZENYUKI A ROMANCE THAT CUTS THROUGH FATE?
It's not. It absolutely is not a story of a romance that cuts through fate. In fact, there are far too many stories out there where a beautiful, nice, happy, girl gets with a Prince way beyond her social status for this to be something un-fateful. Or unheard of or whatever. Every fairytale and most romantic comedies out in the world follow the same old rhyme.
Which is why I am proposing that Obiyuki is the endgame for real.
***WARNING IF YOU’RE NOT CAUGHT UP WITH THE MANGA AND DON’T WANT SPOILED THEN YOU PROBS DON’T WANT TO READ ANY FURTHER!!!***
I feel as though since the moment Obi and Shirayuki were separated by the Bergat house situation, Shirayuki has been more aware of what Obi means to her.
Look at her reaction and even Obi says later on:
That she seemed to be concerned even for him. Now don’t get me wrong I am completely aware that Shirayuki has been plenty concerned for Obi in a platonic sort of way! I’m not a completely foolish fangirl here.
But then that happens. That is something new with Shirayuki. Never is she shown to react that way about what anyone says. Sure she blushes over her lovey-dovey stuff with Zen all the time, but that is something else.
And then that is too. She sees Obi’s reaction--possibly the first time she’s seen him this way (or at least I can’t remember another time) and there’s a look on her face that says, was he being serious maybe? YES SHIRAYUKI HE WAS DAMMIT IN HIS PLAYFUL STUPID BOY WAY YES.
And then this happens--look at that face--I don’t need to say a damn thing on that one. I mean I know she doesn’t love-love him yet (or maybe she does but doesn’t know it) but this is definitely progress, right?
And then the boys get in a tie showing off their masculinity--which I feel really does foreshadow their inevitable head-to-head. I mean ever since the festival with the play of the Knight fighting the Prince for the Princess, I’ve felt that way, but then there is their slight competition for her attention all the time and this arm wrestling and even the fight they had when Obi wanted to be her bodyguard!
These faces, well, I feel as though she is kind of realizing Obi’s worth. I don’t know how else to put it. She is obviously affected by Obi’s marriage meeting and later on when Obi is saying how he is rejecting people even though he knows he attracts people, her face is so loving! Of course that may just be because her friends are there and she is about to pledge her loyalty to everyone or whatever, but I’d like to think it still has a bit to do with what Obi is saying as his statement that he was with her during the dinner party, therefore not flirting with other girls, is in the same panel as the face she is making. Hopefully, that makes sense.
This was a big moment because again I feel as though this is foreshadowing, why else would the author do this?
Then I noticed that Shirayuki starts noticing Obi! Above she notices how his eyes have rounded recently, which to my understanding is an idea that a person is happier. (Idk my Dad has a book on Oriental health practices and whatnot and it talks about eye shape in it and basically how its a window to the state of your being/soul/chi, etc. so this is why I believe this I may be completely off base but the context seems to suggest I’m right!) However, on a side note on Obi’s part I think he is going through the motions of accepting that his fate when it comes to Shirayuki when he says, “I’m seeing more clearly.”
This looks like some flirtation to me on Shirayuki’s part, but also I find it an interesting conversation especially since in the next chapter (below panels) she talks about how she needs to be able to speak about how she wants to live in the future. And also, I feel as though the author loves giving us these panels where they’re reaching for each other but not quite willing or able to touch one another yet, its sweet torture isn’t it?
The panels above show again how she has finally taken notice of Obi and thanked him for all he has done for her. I know it’s not a declaration of love, and she probably plans on talking to Izana about living her future with Zen, but I think this is a step in the right direction because in what world is this conversation with Izana going to go well? I mean, Izana, though I believe he likes Shirayuki, is not going to change the rules for her as it comes to the Royal family. So, I think we may soon see some development in Shirayuki’s relationships with both Zen and Obi. I tend to think that she has really put some thought into how she wants to live her life now, and I also think that she is strong enough of a person now to reject anything other than what she deserves.
I also find it interesting how Obi keeps his cool when Shirayuki compliments him on his looks and then awkwardly says:
What does interesting mean, Obi?!
But anyway, that brings us up to date with the manga and my reasons for believing that the “Romance that Cuts through Fate” applies to Obiyuki NOT Zenyuki. I hope I was able to coherently share my thoughts and feelings on this and not completely bore whoever may have been strong enough to make it to the end of my rambles.

so being abused the entire first 2 decades of your life: what’s up with that? Night Posts Edition
- classic when finding some “uh oh relatable!” content abt various Disorderres and there’s some thing like “many symptoms overlap with ptsd” and it’s like ooh which one is applying to me?? i mean spoilers the idea that The Grouping Of Non Nt Traits And Experiences Into Distinct Classifications is not actually...an exact science and for all intents and purposes it makes no difference if i am going “oh god #me” at an informative post about adhd if actually its ptsd acting exactly the same anyways so. but yknow it’s wild n zany being like “am i overstepping my bounds b/c this was caused by coping with trauma possibly? what audacity” and etc when it really....that doesnt matter....
- also ugh @ retaining things that downplay abusers’ responsibility for their actions (in specific things you’re personally dealing with, not like, as a general stance) and shift blame onto yourself like........you have to get so used to treating someone’s Abusive Behavior as something inevitable that you can’t ever expect them to stop doing, and thus pretty much considering someone abusive like a force of nature because they’re just gonna do what they’re gonna do whenever they next get Set Off rather than like.......a person who is responsible for their own behavior and in control of their own choices and like. especially zany when you’re a kid and they’re your parent so there’s the Power Imbalance of them being an adult and the other power imbalance of them being in control of your whole existence. but so like even just the other year i was taking the blame for calmly speaking back to a grownass man close to thrice my age raging at me and saying like, not verbatim but the idea of like “ugh i know it was partly my fault for even saying anything back to him because i knew he’d just continue to yell but unfortunately i just refuse to weather that kind of behavior without standing up for myself at all anymore” but like no!!!! that’s shifting all the responsibility for this other person’s behavior onto myself, like i Made him choose to shout at me at like 4am because he sucks and has some kind of superiority power trip issues. cuz i am well within rights to respond to anyone addressing me and it’s Not my fault at all that he chooses to react the way he reacts.
- also that i was ready to excuse my being blamed for this by others because they were closer to that person than they were to me and i was gonna be like “okay i Get wanting to defend someone who’s closer to you” but no!!!! actually!!!! i may get it but i don’t condone excusing anyone’s horrible behavior in the least just cuz you know them or they’re friends or family or something. in fact that’s terrible. i’m just primed to be Used To It because of the weird situation of parental abuse where there’s other people also trapped in this location and daily life with an abuser and if someone “causes” the abuser to start being shitty then they’ll get blamed / resented for that. me and my siblings seem more like friendly acquaintances b/c we had to be pitted against each other in these kinds of ways for eons until we were all in our teens and got some more Space and kind of realized that we weren’t each others enemies and got closer and my dumb little brother was old enough to stop being a whiny binch and Owed me for helping him with math hw over the phone from 2 hrs drive away lol.....jk, sort of.....we did get along great eventually but then i left thanks to said abuse and us talking via twitter isn’t at all the same as us being able to talk in person :/
- also one thing that sometimes Strikes me is that when i’m like blandly recalling incidents of abuse like “oh yeah, that time” it bothers me less to think about stuff that happened to me specifically than to think about times it was Other people who were being treated that way. the latter was always equally or probably more upsetting and it always felt just as bad in the moment anyways, there was no major distinction in the Abuse In Progress experience if it was directed mostly on you than on other people
- all my life i’ve also been super stubborn which never helped and even Abuse MaGee would have to try to get creative with Disciplinary Systems and there was this golden “punishment” which was eat dinner in your room by yourself and i was like oh my god can i really. the horror of Family Dinner was like, this dark comedic farce playing out in that house for all our lives. christ. speaking of being stubborn this one time my sister cut my toe with a knife (half accidentally) because i refused to stop swinging my legs despite her holding the knife under the table lol and i also refused to tell on her b/c we were All In This Together (that is, Us vs The Abuser, which always took precedence over any internal conflict in our faction lol)
- always remembering how my “’”””””””defining”””””””””” trait was always getting good grades except the only reason i ever felt this pressure was the time my sister caught shit for getting a C, and i wasn’t even getting A - F letter grades yet and was already like jfc guess i can’t like....get a single C ever.....the joke is i’ve always been a godawful student who hates school, i just also managed to get great grades fairly easily, b/c of the devil probably. i’m sorry
- love to wonder what interests i might have been able to explore if i didn’t want to hide anything i was genuinely interested in and other True Thoughts And Feelings from my ‘rents. who knows!!! even now i’m not sure what i like and my vague ideas about it are all mostly In Theory and i don’t have any hopes and dreams b/c of never being able to really consider my own interests and desires and also because when every day of your life is basically spent in survival mode about everything else, that’s not really conducive to having dreams and ambitions. see also: like, being really poor
- The Weird Experience when only one of your parents is abusive and the other parent is also experiencing spousal abuse and so like, even though they’re your parent, you know that they don’t really have equal power as the abusive one because they too are being abused? it’s a complicated thing b/c that’s how every individual experience with abuse is (complicated). and so you’ve got this bizarre situation where maybe someone cares about you but they can’t really protect you from this other person. and like, my dad is crap and in some areas even a crappier person than my abusive mom and also i hate him, but i only hate him for certain things lmao not for being abused or some ways he tried to deal with it. i know what’s trash and what’s not
- the zany experience of No One Will Help You Ever.....lucky for me i eventually figured out on my own that what i’d been living with all the time had actually been abuse for real all along! and yet still i knew that like, there wasn’t much i could immediately do with that information because..........yknow, what do you actually do. i was basically already 18, so. and even if i hadnt been. there’s nothing to do for it!! just sucks to be you, basically. but an exception is that when one day i texted my friend to ask if i might be able to leave my house overnight and crash at their family’s place for a little bit, their parents immediately were like Yes Of Course and they let me stay there for a week and were very nice about all of it. between them and the nice trans lady who gave me some more Housing Assistance by letting me stay in her spare room for like, most of december.....my Allies. plus someone who talked to me via online once i bailed on my ‘rents! if they read this they know who they are and they have continued to be so kind and generous ugh love and appreciate you
- god just individual occasions of “THIS bullshit that i went through this one time” of especially ridiculous incidents.....i could go on for eons
- sort of tangentially related and related to the first point but ugh specific memories of Moments In Which It Continued To Be Revealed To Me That I, Individually, Was Prone To Being Kind Of Socially Ostracized.....like my ass started noticing that shit as soon as i was around other kids aka preschool aka 4 yrs old.......like i’m usually somewhat withdrawn and cautious and quiet in social situations especially what with the association that “misbehaving” = trauma exposure so, yknow, that might be a way that you’re pressured into just keeping to yourself and keeping your head down. but talk about “i don’t really relate to other people my age” lmao like i always preferred interacting with adults really while by and large dealing with the other kids felt like a challenge that i was never gonna actually come out on top of and i still remember individual Efforts i’d make to ~fit in~ and Participate that just fell flat or got me actively excluded....Ugh City........and it’s like, i could make a list of Social Traits i think i have that help make it difficult for people to be interested in interacting with me, or “contribute” to those joyous occasions when you get to sit back and take in the thinly veiled contempt directed at you by various shitheads, but like, even that’s not really the right way to explain it. its kind of more a Greater Than The Sum Of Its Weird Parts sorta combined experience where i guess i just have this kind of Negative Je Ne Sais Quoi that gets ya the social brushoff / rejection. c’est ce que c’est. the joke is i actually like people and socializing In Theory, i just usually don’t get to do it. shoutout to the advanced relatability of alana calling everyone Acquaintances b/c i literally did/do that lmao......like are we friends if we don’t talk all that often? it’s part on me cuz i’m crap at being the person to initiate conversation cuz too often i assume i’d be an annoyance and also b/c conversation with me is like, not great lmao but still......ce’st l’a v’ie
anyways (clip from that fuckin song where it’s like WHO CAN RELATE lmao.mp3)
#long post //////#the entire first quarter (at least lol) of my life being Devastated By Abuse means i get to complain about it whenever i feel like it

How Businesses Can Build Consumer Habits Using Content
Being a part of this industry, we all know that content can easily influence consumer behaviors. Simply because every potential customer landing on your website is either looking to purchase a product or trying to find a solution to their problem. In both instances, the company can influence their action using content to guide them about the ideal thing to do.
But imagine a customer relying on your content to the extent that the first thing they do in the morning is – grab a cup of coffee, open their laptop and check your recent blog post. This shows that you have become a habit, a part of their day-to-day life, which is really marketing’s Holy Grail.
The idea of creating and strengthening new consumer habits is a very complex topic, and we do not intend to play it down, but there is a good chance that content may help smooth things over or much better accelerate the process. A trigger lays the foundation for building a new habit, and its repetition reinforces it. And that is something content marketers should bear in mind when it comes to the quality and quantity of the content.
Quality Acts Like a Trigger for New Consumer Habits
For every little question that pops up in our mind, the first thing that we do today is open Google Chrome and search for the answer online. It’s because we know everything is available on the web today. There are millions of search results showing up for a single topic. There is an overwhelming amount of information present on the Internet, and therefore it is harder than ever to gain that initial audience’s attention. Hence, it is crucial for businesses to have a superior quality, if not in their industry, then at least in their niche.
Imagine that rare and valuable moment when you subscribe to a blog, YouTube channel, or podcast. What exactly makes you do it? The answer is pretty simple – the content you just read, watched, or listened was useful to you or, even better, blew your mind.
Content that is able to cut through the noise is RITES – Relevant, Interesting, Timely, Entertaining, and Superior.
Relevant – The content is in line with the audience’s interests and values.
Interesting – It engages the audience, and they find it worth their time and perhaps a communication.
Timely – It helps them become aware of a few parts of their world or what’s happening worldwide in a new context.
Entertaining – It is easily consumable and enjoyable.
Superior – Its consistency is the best of its kind and industry-leading.
This stands true even today. When you unsubscribe to something, the reason is probably that the content failed in fulfilling one of these five points.
However, that is just a part of the equation. Building that new habit requires consistency, and it’s done over time.
Consistency Strengthens New Consumer Habits
Consistency is more imperative than brilliance. We can never overplay this statement, and it holds true for not just content marketers but every professional trying to accomplish something. The essential role that repetition plays in creating and reinforcing new consumer habits justifies at least a portion of that idea.
So many people try their hand at blogging and give up after publishing 4 to 5 blogs just because they couldn’t see any results. Well, if you really know this industry, you’ll probably chuckle reading this because that’s not how things work here.
If you want to build and strengthen new consumer habits using content, you need to make a long-term commitment. The sole reason why you have become a habit of that customer reading your blog posts every morning is that they believe in you that you will turn up.
Consistency will help you become a part of your audience’s daily life, and you wouldn’t want to mess it all up by disappearing or producing trashy content because if you do so, it won’t be long before the readers replace you with another website.
Conclusion – Hard Work Matters
Surprisingly, there are still a lot of people (and we are not just talking about newbies) who believe that blogging twice or thrice a month can also make their content marketing successful. However, this is irresponsible advice that we would never send out.
Honestly speaking, the world of marketing is a tough one, and there is no need to hide it. Content that isn’t viewed or shared has zero economic value. It can be extremely difficult to earn subscribers and fans and trigger their interest in your content.
Remember, content marketing does not just start with content itself. Instead, it begins with evaluating your market opportunities, a practical plan of action, and committing to quality and consistency that provides you with a chance to create new consumer habits.

Dickheads of the Month: March 2019
As it seems that there are people who say or do things that are remarkably dickheaded yet somehow people try to make excuses for them or pretend it never happened, here is a collection of some of the dickheaded actions we saw in the month of March 2019 to make sure that they are never forgotten.
Even though Queensland is noted for being in Australia and not New Zealand, that did not stop Fraser Anning from rushing to his keyboard in the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings to issue a statement to mouth off like an ignorant twat about immigration, gun laws and how that damn dirty left-wingers will try and make a white nationalist shooting up a mosque about Islamophobia, deeply-ingrained racism and the fact psychopaths can get hold of guns without too much difficulty as they would be desperate to make some kind of political capital out of it - unlike Fraser Anning, who definitely wasn’t using anti-immigrant and Islamophobic rhetoric while slagging off the left to try and get his name into the public eye as he tries to get his own political party off the ground. Luckily that’s the only shitehousery he was responsible for...oh wait, no, there's also the fact that when he got egged the day after making these comments, his response was to hit the kid responsible - the second time clearly a case of him getting in a jab when he realised the person who did it was much shorter than him, before letting his security team lock him in the sort of chokehold that gets security teams fired on the spot for being a walking lawsuit
At the end of a bizarre rant where Theresa May blamed everyone but herself for the last two years of fumbled Britait negotiations (that definitely weren’t kickstarted by her triggering Article 50...) she came to the conclusion that she is on the side of everyone who is on the fence of her twice thrice rejected Britait proposal...contrary to what her stint as Home Secretary, let alone Prime Minister, suggests
Isn’t it strange that Sajid Javid was so determined to be seen holding Facebook to account for streaming the Christchurch mosque shootings, yet didn’t have a single syllable to say about The Daily Mail and The Sun not only also posting that very same video but also slapping ads on it? Now why would it be that he neglected to mention them or their monetising the footage? Anyone?
Once again Theresa May tried to claim there is no link between the decrease in police numbers and the increase in knife crime which just so happen to coincide with one another, which of course cannot be linked to the fact that a Home Secretary by the name of Theresa May is the one who saw thousands of police officers laid off with the swish of her pen - although this time Cressida Dick was swift to say that, actually, combating crime is a lot more difficult with less officers, which indicates that Dick has qualified for her pension...although that doesn't excuse Cressida Dick for her bizarre comment that knife crime is the fault of the educated middle classes due to their coke habit
Soon afterwards Philip Hammond refused Sajid Javid’s request for additional funding to combat knife crime, meaning that in Hammond’s mind it’s better to have people stabbed than have to dip his hand into the money jar
According to Gisela Stuart the Vote Leave campaign can easily prove they did not break numerous electoral laws...well they could, but they happened to destroy every last scrap of data about the campaign which makes it a little difficult to prove it, but we can trust what they say...right?
When it was time for Theresa May’s deal to get a third go-round in parliament The Independent Group Ltd knew what was the most important thing to do - announce they were changing their name to Change UK...a name change that rapidly led to Change(dot)Org consulting with their lawyers about Chuka Umunna’s mob not just “borrowing” their name but pretty much aping their Twitter handle, and the fact that Anna Soubry called the group “Change Dot Org” in Commons did not help their defence
Even by his usual standards Chris Grayling had a bad start to the month, as on March 1st not only did the story break that his awarding a ferry service to Seaborne Freight in spite of their lack of ferries meant the government had to pay Eurotunnel £33m, but it also emerged that his changed to the probation service when he was Justice Secretary had cost the taxpayer at least £171m, with estimates suggesting the cost could creep up[ as far as £500m - but for this all he received from Theresa May was a pat on the head, because thanks to these two stories breaking within hours of one another there was no real coverage of the fact that the High Court had deemed the Hostile Environment legislation she passed when Home Secretary as unlawful, which makes Grayling her useful idiot
Once again Karen Bradley demonstrates her unsuitability to be Northern Ireland Secretary by invoking the Nuremberg defence when she suggested that it wasn’t a crime when Northern Irish civilians killed by the British Army during The Troubles because the soldiers were only following orders - a statement she happened to make during a government investigation into whether or not the soldiers responsible for Bloody Sunday should face prosecution
Waffling gargoyle Nigel Farage was determined to walk all the way from Sunderland to London as part of the Britait Betrayal March...right up until a mere 350 people showed up, to the point where there were more journalists than people marching at points on the first day, at which point he fucked off down the pub with the £50 everyone in attendance paid to cover a week’s food and lodgings while professional gaslighter Isabel Oakeshott was left trying to claim that only 200 people were supposed to turn up in spite of the fact Farage claimed a whole digit’s worth more would show up at the very least, meaning one of them was lying
Also benefiting from Grayling’s useful idiocy was Martyn York and Dorinda Bailey and the Boris Johnson: Supporters’ Group on Facebook where Bailey posted all manner of Islamophobic comments, not least suggesting that mosques be bombed, but as this story also broke on the day of Grayling’s failings all that needed to be done was for Brandon Lewis to claim that Bailey wasn’t a member of the party - which is more than a little awkward considering Bailey was wearing a Tory rosette when running in the Newcastle-under-Lyme council elections in 2018
Shortly afterwards Boris Johnson himself demonstrated how the monkey only follows the organ grinder’s instructions by calling the money spent investigating cases of historic child abuse was “spaffing money up the wall” - which managed to be a comment that combined a slang term for male ejaculation when dismissing investigations into historic child abuse coupled with him thinking Londoners have forgotten how much money he pissed away creating numerous monuments to Boris Johnson in central London during his stint as Mayor
Spiteful child Rachel Riley thought she was being oh-so-clever when her response to somebody punching Jeremy Corbyn while holding an egg (and not, as The BBC et al suggested, throw an egg at Corbyn) by posting a screengrab of an Owen Jones tweet from when somebody threw an egg at BNP leader Nick Griffin saying, if you don’t want an egg throw at you, don’t be a Nazi - of course you shouldn’t dare come to the conclusion that she called Corbyn a Nazi, absolutely not...because she’ll sic Mark Lewis on you and claim libel
Yet somehow that isn’t the worst thing Rachel Riley managed this month, considering she went on a crusade to cost The Canary their advertisers and was more than happy to outright lie in order to do so, getting on board with the Stop Funding Fake News mob to accuse the site of sexism and (of course) antisemitism which saw both eBay and the Macmillan Cancer Trust pull advertising from the site (albeit Macmillan soon reversed their decision when the reality of what Riley and friends were up to came to light), because if there’s on thing guaranteed to make you look like you’re on the right side of history it’s lying to a cancer charity in order to bully the left-wing press by costing them their source of funding while also painting them as an operation ran by angry bigots with no accountability when both The Canary and Evolve Politics are both covered by Impress Media - unlike the bilge her good friend David Collier vomits forth onto the internet in support of the voices inside Riley’s head...
Once again Roseanne Barr decided to beg for attention from the only people willing to give a crap about her, this time conversing with that well-known advocate of women’s rights Mike Tyson where she came to the conclusion that it’s perfectly acceptable to sexually harass or rape women if Roseanne can somehow twist that into a punchline of “Well, you ain’t nothing but a ho” - which she says while whoring herself out for attention from the far-right, before a day or so later once again trying to “clarify” her comments when she realised that the far-right already have their preferred voices and they’re not interested in having her speak for them
In possibly the worst example of equating two things that are not remotely related in some time we have both John McTernan and Siobhain McDonagh stating that, for somebody to be anti-capitalist means they also have to be anti semitic. No, just...no
Continuing his crusade against nominative determinism was James Cleverley complaining that the second go-round of Theresa May’s inept deal was unfair because those voting didn’t know all the facts - this after the best part of three years telling people to stop moaning about the EU Referendum result even though those voting didn’t know the facts...
Also demonstrating a lack of self-awareness in Parliament was Ian Austin who stood up in Parliament to moan and complain about how it's completely unfair that he;s no longer allowed to take part in Foreign Select Committee meetings having voluntarily left the Labour party, at least I think that’s what he was saying as most of it was the usual “Corbyn Bad Man” gibberish - and to underline the childishness of this, it wasn’t long before both Joan Ryan and Mike Gapes stood up to chime in with their own “Corbyn Bad Man” gibberish while agreeing how completely unfair it is that somebody who voluntarily left the Labour party is not allowed to partake in Labour committee meetings, somehow failing to see the obvious point
In a genius piece of marketing Tim Martin blamed Wetherspoons’ 19% drop in profits over the last year entirely on Remain voters - because it’s definitely not related to Wetherspoons head honcho Tim Martin devoting an awful amount of his time since June 2016 telling Remain voters that they should stay out of his pubs because he doesn’t want them there...
This month’s remarkable self-own by Julia Hartley-Brewer was her trying to prove the petition to revoke Article 50 was a sham by her signing it and telling her followers to also sign it using her name and the provided e-mail address...meaning that not only did she show her opposition to the petition by signing the bloody thing while also bringing the petition to the attention of her followers, but also demonstrated she doesn't understand how petitions work and nobody else can sign it using the e-mail address she provided
You have to hand it to Esther McVey for publicly umming and ahhing about whether or not she could bring herself to support Theresa May’s Britait deal before deciding that she could - and almost immediately making it clear why when she announced her constituency had received a £21m injection for infrastructure spending, not only making it obvious that she’d sold her vote for the cost of a garden village but also guaranteeing that anyone else publicly umming and ahhing about supporting May had a starting bid for their bribe from the magic money tree
Does it not occur to Suzanne Evans that it takes just a second to see how obvious it is that the Twitter accounts she’s retweeting as “proof” of...something are obvious sockpuppets? Apparently not...

Outreach Worthy Marketing Case Study
Interview with NinjaOutreach Client Yeshua Quijano of Outreach Worthy
Outreach Worthy is a done-for-you blogger outreach services company. We interviewed Outreach Worthy’s owner Yesh Quijano, and he shared how he was able to “overdeliver” for his company’s clients. Read further to see how he got faster results from the multiple blogger outreach campaigns that he launched using NinjaOutreach.
Results
Achieved an average 11% reply rate with a guest posting campaign in the pets niche.
Secured 7 guest posts in 13 days and established a working relationship with a few of these bloggers.
Secured a FREE link from a DR 73, 135K organic traffic/month authority domain.
How many campaigns did you launch to achieve this goal? What was your reply rate? How many emails did you send and how many positive responses did you get?
I’m pretty new to blogger outreach on this scale (I’ve done ultra-custom outreach campaigns for about a year prio) so I’m not sure if I did this campaign in the most efficient way. Nevertheless, I think I over delivered thanks to NinjaOutreach and a well-drafted email script and follow up sequence.
What I did was run small daily campaigns, sending about 10-20 emails/day. All in all I sent 140 emails in a span of 13 days with a reply rate of about 11%. If I look at the daily reply rates I got anywhere between 6% to 28%. That’s about 16 responses, a few of which are sponsored post opportunities which I passed up for now.
So I’m pretty excited to utilize all of NinjaOutreach’s features – if my success rate is already this good while just using maybe 50-60% of the tool’s features, what more if I can use it all?
What other tools (if any) did you use for this campaign and why?
I use Hunter.io to supplement my search for email addresses (the free version works fine!). NinjaOutreach’s chrome extension is actually pretty good already for finding email addresses, but combining it with Hunter.io makes prospecting so much easier.
Additionally, I use Ahrefs to check if the site has at least 1,000 organic traffic per month. My reasoning for this is if a site is getting some Google love (in the form of organic traffic), then it must be doing something good. Therefore, earning a link from that site must be beneficial to my campaign.
Lastly, I’m using Link Research Tools’ Power*Trust chrome extension. Basically it’s a tool that aggregates metrics from Moz, Majestic, and Ahrefs, among other tools, so I believe it’s one of the more accurate tools out there. You can learn more about the tool here.
How did you use NinjaOutreach?
I use NinjaOutreach mainly as an email broadcast tool. I haven’t gotten around to using its prospecting feature but I plan to play with it in the future.
Currently we do all prospecting using Google’s search function then record all relevant data on a Google Sheet.
After that I add all qualified prospects on NinjaOutreach via the Chrome Extension.
Once I added about 10-20 contacts, I kick start the campaign on the Ninja Outreach dashboard.
The tool also lets you send two follow up emails which makes the campaign truly set-and-forget. I usually set my follow up emails 3 and 6 days after getting no replies.
I spend a good amount of time making sure the contact names and email addresses are correct. I’m a bit paranoid so I check each email if the placeholders have been properly replaced with the correct names.
In terms of customizing and automating my workflow, I found a good compromise. While I use a general email template, NinjaOutreach allows for some customization. For example, changing Page URLs or First Names per email.
What outreach strategies did you find worked best? (best template, best approach, best schedule to send outreach, etc)
There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy in outreach. Everything depends on your target website and industry.
Are you looking to land guest posts on law-related websites? Your email should probably sound professional.
In my case, I’m targeting pet blogs, so I tried to be as casual, as friendly, and as pun-ny as I could. Yes – the best template I had for this particular niche is littered (no pun intended), with puns.
As I’ve already mentioned, this helped me land 7 guest post opportunities in 13 days, one of which is a DR 78 blog that gets around 135,000 monthly organic traffic. If you’re like me who keeps his ears to the ground regarding link prices, links like these sell for $280-$300 a pop:
From here, all I really need to do was add more prospects and let NinjaOutreach do the rest. I won’t be able to do this if it wasn’t for the tool saving me a lot of time.
What problem did NinjaOutreach solve for you, or how was NinjaOutreach specifically able to help with your campaign?
I’m the owner of Outreach Worthy, a marketing agency with a big focus on blogger outreach. While we’re growing at an incredible rate, we’re still a small team so I’m always multitasking.
NinjaOutreach really helped me save a lot of time by automating 80% of the outreach process.
I really love the template builder and campaign set up function – it doesn’t even take 10 clicks (I’ve counted!) to get the ball rolling on one campaign. Before, I used Gmail’s canned template feature to send emails and if you’ve done manual outreach before, you know how tedious and time-consuming replacing names and websites URLs, and copy-pasting subject lines every single time is.
With your tool, I get to send 15-20 emails in about an hour and a half. This time already includes prospecting, so the actual time it takes to send emails might just be 10-15 minutes. This would have taken twice or thrice the time if I did it manually.
Before NinjaOutreach, what was your process for prospecting and launching your campaigns?
Prospecting has been pretty much the same for us – we’re still using advanced search operators and checking metrics via Ahrefs and LRT. The biggest change is in the efficiency of how we send emails and follow ups.
NinjaOutreach made these two tasks automated (I absolutely love having two automated follow ups), so we now have more time qualifying leads and making sure they’re a right fit for our campaigns.
What process would you say was more cost-effective? Why?
NinjaOutreach’s template builder and automated campaign feature already reduced the time spent on one campaign by 50%. As the saying goes, time is money, and I’m saving a heck of a lot of cash by using your tool.
I’ve used BuzzStream in the past for a short while, but it felt more like a glorified canned email. Suffice to say that NinjaOutreach has surpassed my expectations. While the tool may have a few bugs here and there, their tech support is really helpful. One of them is a fellow Filipino, so he’s been extra helpful to me. Shoutout to Harold for being the best CSR for NinjaOutreach!

Best Home Remedies For Menstrual Cramps
1. Heating Pads
Shutterstock
You Will Need
A heating pad
What You Have To Do
Take a heating pad or hot water bottle filled with hot water.
Place this on your lower abdomen and lower back for about 10 minutes.
Alternatively, you can also soak a clean washcloth in some hot water, wring it and place it on your abdomen and back.
How Often You Should Do This
You can do this multiple times daily until you obtain relief.
Why This Works
Applying heat is one of the most preferred methods to relieve pain and cramps due to its relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects on the affected muscles (1). In fact, studies have shown that it is almost as effective as taking pain relievers like ibuprofen for reducing menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) (2). Therefore, the next time you have menstrual cramps, either place a heating pad on your stomach or simply take a hot shower.

Shutterstock
You Will Need
1 chamomile tea bag
1 cup of hot water
Honey

Back To TOC
5. Vitamin D

A single large dose of vitamin D was found to bring noticeable relief from menstrual pain and cramps (12).
Vitamin D can reduce the production of prostaglandin, which causes period cramps. However, since studies are limited, it is better to limit the dosage of vitamin D supplements for this purpose. But you can go ahead and increase your intake of vitamin D via your diet by consuming foods like fish, cheese, egg yolks, orange juice, and cereals.
Back To TOC

You must drink green tea 3 to 4 times daily.
Why This Works
Green tea contains flavonoids called catechins that give it its medicinal properties. Green tea is a natural antioxidant and also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help relieve the pain and inflammation associated with period cramps (13), (14).
Back To TOC
7. Pickle Juice
Shutterstock
You Will Need
1/2 cup of pickle juice
What You Have To Do
Drink half a cup of pickle juice.
How Often You Should Do This

Expert’s Answers For Readers’ Questions
What are the best medicines for period cramps?
If you are suffering from period cramps, your doctor may prescribe medicines like ibuprofen. However, you can try any of the remedies mentioned in this article for relief.
Why am I having cramps but no period?
Cramps usually begin a day or two before your period starts and last until the second day. However, in some cases, cramps can be a result of pregnancy, a ruptured cyst or an underlying medical condition.
How to stop period cramps at school?
If you experience cramps at school or while you are out, you can reduce their intensity by doing the following:
Gently press at a pressure point below your abdomen that is usually about four finger widths below your navel.
Breathe deeply to increase the level of oxygen in your blood.
Gently massage your lower back and abdomen.
Why do I have cramps even though I am not pregnant or on my period?
Cramps can occur even if you do not have periods or aren’t pregnant. As mentioned earlier, medical conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, a ruptured ovarian cyst, etc. might cause cramps.
Does chocolate help with period cramps?
Yes, you will be thrilled to know that chocolate can help with period cramps in many ways. While the magnesium in chocolate can relieve the cramps and increase your energy, the endorphins or ‘happy hormones’ can make your mood better. Also, dark chocolates are rich in antioxidants and are hence great for your overall health.
What is the difference between period cramps and pregnancy cramps?
While period cramps usually last for just 3 or 4 days, pregnancy cramps can begin early in the pregnancy and often last from weeks to months.
What are the best sleeping positions for period pain?
The best sleeping position for period cramps is the fetal position. Sleeping in the fetal position not only reduces the blood flow but also relaxes the muscles around your abdomen, which results in lesser pain and cramps.

Inbox Dollars Review: Take Your $5 And Run
I waste way too much time streaming Netflix. I’m not talking, “I love Stranger Things” level of wasted time. I’m talking, “Will Mary Kate or Ashley ever make an appearance on Fuller House?” level of wasted time.
So when I stumbled onto the idea of taking surveys online while watching TV, I thought I found true redemption. I was wrong… so, so wrong.
Taking surveys through InboxDollars is a huge waste of time, even if the time being wasted is Netflix time. Want to hear about my train wreck experience? Keep reading.
Get Sucked In With a $5 Signup Bonus
InboxDollars will try to suck you in with a tempting $5 signup bonus. All you have to do is provide your email address, and you get $5. An email address for $5? Sign me up.
I intelligently signed up with my junk email address, and after confirming my account, I got $5 credited to my account. Awesome!
At least, it would be awesome, but you can’t request payment until you earn $30. I assure you, it’s nearly impossible to get to that $30 payout limit.
Earn A Few Cents To Clog Up Your Inbox
After I enrolled for InboxDollars, I completed my profile. This 10 minute task yielded another $0.50. InboxDollars wanted to know every detail about my life. What’s my birthday? Do I have erectile dysfunction?
You have the option to say, “I prefer not to answer.” Of course, it leaves you wondering how InboxDollars plans to use your information. But you won’t wonder for long. InboxDollars uses your information to send targeted ads (“Paid Email”) your way. You get exactly one penny for opening these.
If you’re still reading, and somehow still enticed to signup for InboxDollars, let me advise you that paid email is not worth the click.
In good news, you can still retain your few cents per day without sending junk to your inbox. Simply tap, “Click Here to unsubscribe” at the bottom of your thrice daily paid email. Then adjust your settings. Go ahead and unsubscribe from all the notifications.
You’ll still have access to the InboxDollars website and all your “earnings” opportunities without clogging up your inbox. Lest you think I’m overly vigilant, I’m not. I don’t want my junk email inbox flooded with stupid offers when I’m trying to find my daily Sudoku puzzle.
Now Earn About $1.50 Per Hour!
Once you’re enrolled in InboxDollars, and you’ve adjusted your settings, you’ll have the opportunity to earn money taking surveys. How much money? It seems like most people earn about $1.50 per hour.
The whole process of taking the surveys is incredibly frustrating. InboxDollars serves up surveys for which you aren’t qualified. Before I got through a single episode of Fuller House, I was disqualified from four surveys. This would not be so frustrating to me except that InboxDollars has all my demographic information on file. I shouldn’t need to answer it all again. At least they gave me ten sweep points per disqualification.
What are sweep points? Sweep points are raffle tickets. Enter the raffle and you might win cash… not that I would know from experience; I never won a raffle.
When I finally found a survey I could take, I earned a whopping $0.25. The survey took about 10 minutes. At that rate, I was earning about $1.50 per hour. Actually, I would be earning less than $1.50 except InboxDollars seems to have daily challenges that allowed me to earn between $0.50-$1.00 for jumping through a few hoops.
Please Don’t Sign Up For InboxDollars
InboxDollars is not a good way to earn a few extra bucks. It's a complete ripoff. I wouldn't even recommend filling out surveys while you watch Netflix.
With InboxDollars, surveys don't pay off. If you really need some extra cash, figure out a better way to earn it.
I've got at least 50 side options in this post, including some survey sites where you might manage to earn $3 - $5 per hour (which isn't bad if you want to Nexflix and Survey rather than Nexflix and Chill).
Another option is Swagbucks, which we recommend and seems to pay out a little better.
Have you ever tried InboxDollars before? What are some of your favorite ways to earn extra money?

This would not be so frustrating to me except that InboxDollars has all my demographic information on file. I shouldn’t need to answer it all again. At least they gave me ten sweep points per disqualification.
What are sweep points? Sweep points are raffle tickets. Enter the raffle and you might win cash… not that I would know from experience; I never won a raffle.
When I finally found a survey I could take, I earned a whopping $0.25. The survey took about 10 minutes. At that rate, I was earning about $1.50 per hour. Actually, I would be earning less than $1.50 except InboxDollars seems to have daily challenges that allowed me to earn between $0.50-$1.00 for jumping through a few hoops.
Please Don’t Sign Up For InboxDollars
InboxDollars is not a good way to earn a few extra bucks. It's a complete ripoff. I wouldn't even recommend filling out surveys while you watch Netflix.
With InboxDollars, surveys don't pay off. If you really need some extra cash, figure out a better way to earn it.
I've got at least 50 side options in this post, including some survey sites where you might manage to earn $3 - $5 per hour (which isn't bad if you want to Nexflix and Survey rather than Nexflix and Chill).
Another option is Swagbucks, which we recommend and seems to pay out a little better.
Have you ever tried InboxDollars before? What are some of your favorite ways to earn extra money?

Inbox Dollars Review: Take Your $5 And Run
I waste way too much time streaming Netflix. I’m not talking, “I love Stranger Things” level of wasted time. I’m talking, “Will Mary Kate or Ashley ever make an appearance on Fuller House?” level of wasted time.
So when I stumbled onto the idea of taking surveys online while watching TV, I thought I found true redemption. I was wrong… so, so wrong.
Taking surveys through InboxDollars is a huge waste of time, even if the time being wasted is Netflix time. Want to hear about my train wreck experience? Keep reading.
Get Sucked In With a $5 Signup Bonus
InboxDollars will try to suck you in with a tempting $5 signup bonus. All you have to do is provide your email address, and you get $5. An email address for $5? Sign me up.
I intelligently signed up with my junk email address, and after confirming my account, I got $5 credited to my account. Awesome!
At least, it would be awesome, but you can’t request payment until you earn $30. I assure you, it’s nearly impossible to get to that $30 payout limit.
Earn A Few Cents To Clog Up Your Inbox
After I enrolled for InboxDollars, I completed my profile. This 10 minute task yielded another $0.50. InboxDollars wanted to know every detail about my life. What’s my birthday? Do I have erectile dysfunction?
You have the option to say, “I prefer not to answer.” Of course, it leaves you wondering how InboxDollars plans to use your information. But you won’t wonder for long. InboxDollars uses your information to send targeted ads (“Paid Email”) your way. You get exactly one penny for opening these.
If you’re still reading, and somehow still enticed to signup for InboxDollars, let me advise you that paid email is not worth the click.
In good news, you can still retain your few cents per day without sending junk to your inbox. Simply tap, “Click Here to unsubscribe” at the bottom of your thrice daily paid email. Then adjust your settings. Go ahead and unsubscribe from all the notifications.
You’ll still have access to the InboxDollars website and all your “earnings” opportunities without clogging up your inbox. Lest you think I’m overly vigilant, I’m not. I don’t want my junk email inbox flooded with stupid offers when I’m trying to find my daily Sudoku puzzle.
Now Earn About $1.50 Per Hour!
Once you’re enrolled in InboxDollars, and you’ve adjusted your settings, you’ll have the opportunity to earn money taking surveys. How much money? It seems like most people earn about $1.50 per hour.
