Goodbye 2016

20:47- Saturday 31st December 2016

Hey guys,
We're almost 3 hours away from 2017. It's crazy to think that the year is almost over. So many great things have happened. But before I get to that, can we just take a minute to pay tribute to those that we have lost this year. Whether it be someone that you're close to or someone famous, we've lost people this year and they'll be greatly missed. One and all.

So, let's think about the good things from this year.
Well for me, lots. I started a band called Roadkill Roger. I raised £103.70 in a sponsored silence. I became one of the house captains of my school. Loads of things have happened to me this year. Now I don't want to be a bragger so I'm not going to continue.

Now, even though this has been brief. I want you guys to know that I am so grateful that you guys welcomed me back to blogging. I don't think I would have continued after that post a few days ago if it didn't receive 10 views in the minute that I had posted it. Because I'm glad someone is reading my ramblings. It makes me feel good inside.

Have a brilliant new year.

That's All For Now
Thanks For Reading

Been watching Mr.Potter and friends (+ my book and My Focus Jam )

17:44-Thursday 29th December 2016

Hey guys,

Now even though the title could suggest that I have been watching some new kids show. I'm actually talking about Harry Potter. Lately, ITV has been showing the entire series. My sister has gone and recorded them and is watching them. I'm in the lounge when she is watching, so that means I watch them as well. Now one thing I can say (even though I've watched all of them it loads before) I noticed new stuff and I realised the quality of storytelling that the films (and I'm gonna assume the books as well) possess. It's utterly brilliant in the films because you can see certain plotlines develop through visual cues.

Anyway, enough about Harry Potter. I am going to talk about a book that I'm writing, Beautifully Ignorant. 
Basically, It's a romance between this kind of loner called Daniel (no connection) and a girl that he meets called Abi, however, there are things that get in the way including Daniel's past/problems and Abi's problems. I'm writing it on Figment.com, the first two chapters are up and I'm almost finished with the 3rd. Anyway, I've put the cover I made for it. 
Check it out and let me know what you think. 

BTW - It's meant to look pixelated

Now, My Focus Jam is my Spotify playlist that I use when I'm trying to focus on projects including Beautifully Ignorant. It contains Acoustic covers of songs as well as fist pump songs and the odd indie song (not Indian, but as in unknown). Here's the link if you want to listen.

One more note, in the last post I said that I was getting back into writing on the blog. I am doing that, but give me a little adjustment time because it's been a while since I was doing this sorta thing.

That's All For Now

Hey... It's been a while.

03:13 - Wednesday 28th December 2016

Hey guys,
Daniel Mawardi here. It's been a long time, I know. It's been about 5 months since my last proper post, and I'm sorry for that. I didn't want to stop doing the blog but, as I started my final year at secondary school, I just fell out of practice and routine, so when I went to write the next post, I just didn't feel the motivation. 

However, that's changed now. On the days leading up to the 18th Dec, I felt a bit disappointed. This is because the blog would be 1-year-old on the 18th. So I decided to try and get back into it. But once again when I sat down on the 18th, I just couldn't write about anything. But over Christmas, I felt like I had you guys down, massively. Because for a solid 9 months, you guys had kept on reading. I am sorry that I just disappeared. 

Alas, I am going to start blogging again, I hope you guys can forgive me for just vanishing. 

That's all for now
Thanks For Reading
