1: The Beginning

By

     Welcome to our blog, Mother and Daughter Thoughts. It’s a blog page run by Filipino mother, Aileen (she/her) and half Filipino child Eliot (they/them) (the writer). (It’s very weird writing about yourself and your mom in third person; I would not recommend). 

    Since this is our first post, I assume it would only be proper to give an introduction. My mother is a Filipino who loves photography, exercising, and experimenting with food. I’m also Filipino - only half though, I’m ¼ Danish and ¼ German - who loves writing, reading, and dancing. We both love art, gardening, and watching anime. 

    And that’s all for now. There’ll most likely be more information about us in later posts - nothing personal of course; wouldn’t want to get stalked, hacked, etc. seeing as neither of those sound fun. But I digress; either way, you must be wondering, “But Eliot, what will you post about? What is this blog about?” And we shall get to that, dear Reader. 

    Reviews on books we’ve read, anime we’ve watched, movies we've seen, recipes we made or are trying, stories from different experiences (either funny or serious), opinions on songs and albums as well, and some other things will most likely be posted on here. Maybe some rants on certain things, like pink tax and how it’s completely unfair, or how saying “attack helicopter” is extremely disrespectful and rude to trans people. Or a rant on how school is both more difficult and easy while we're online (for my school I mean; can't vouch for all of them).

    Let me just make something very clear right now: if you are homophobic, transphobic, sexist, xenophobic, racist, or just rude, then leave. I am not putting up with you and I will not deal with you. I do not want to read any comments like that. And, please, don’t be rude to others in the comments either. 

    And that about sums everything up, I presume. Until next time, dear Reader. 


Signing off, 

Mother and Eliot

Hello dear Reader. Yes, again, recommendations. But this time, it’s for my fellow bibliophiles. So here is a list of books I highly recommend.

20: Week 20

By
     Hello dear Reader, yes I realize I didn’t post last week. I’ll try to do it next Sunday, but we’ll see when I actually write it. I apologize again.       Make sure you drink enough water, that you eat three meals today, and that you take your vitamins or medication(s) if necessary. I hope your day is good and relaxing. I’m just going to add in a poem today; I’ll probably write something else next weekend. Anyways, enjoy the poem! And if you have any constructive criticism for me, I’ll gladly take it; any chance to improve my writing. Also, please tell me if my dialogue seems “robotic” or something; I think I need to work on it.        “Sterling! Now!”       Sterling was in the middle of a battle, his friends on either side of him about to be demolished by his enemies. Of course, they weren’t expecting an ambush. They had just fought a few days ago and left the enemies with severe injuries. They shouldn’...

3: Music is a Great Thing and so are Playlists But I Have Way Too Many

By
       Everyone loves music. Everyone listens to it when they’re cleaning, cooking, journaling, painting, exercising or whatever it is people do. I personally almost constantly have music playing since it turns out I like having background noise. Obviously I don’t have it on when I’m doing school or homework but I mean, when doing whatever (i.e. cleaning, journaling) it’s on.      Does anyone else have the problem of having way too many playlists though? I follow playlists - I use Spotify - and I made some for different moods and vibes. I have a journaling playlist, a soft playlist, a Halloween and fall playlist (two separate ones), a kpop playlist, an anime ost playlist, a gaming playlist - like, I’m not even a gamer, I just made it for when I play Minecraft. What’s up with that? Literally nothing though, since I just like music. Fun times, let me tell you, when I’m mining or killing a mob and a song is playing. It’s a range from Minecraft parody song...
