Sunshine Blogger Award!

    Hey hey hey! Welcome back to another award post!
   First of all, I was nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award a few weeks ago, and when I received the Twitter notification for this award, I was extremely, extremely happy! I had just finished and published my Liebster Award post, and I remember thinking how it was so much fun answering the questions provided to me and coming up with creative new questions. It was almost like a high, writing that post (LOL). When I was all done and my fun had ended, I was nominated for this different award and the post was something I looked forward to making when I had the time to sit down and actually get some work done. So here it is!

    I would like to thank Candace from ​thekelleylog.blogspot.com/ for nominating me.
   Go visit her blog! Candace is a new blogger with a lot of potential. She just started blogging this year in January but she's already exhibiting high professionalism and thoroughness, and I can't wait to see where she takes her blog.
    
    Here are the rules:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you for the award, and provide a link to their blog.
2. Answer the 11 questions the blogger asked you.
3. Nominate 11 new bloggers to receive the award.
4. Ask your nominees 11 questions.
5. List the rules and the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post.

    Here are the questions I was asked:

1. Who is your targeted audience for your blog?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. How do you handle stress?
4. What is the most daring thing you've done?
5. Where is your favorite place that you have visited?
6. What is your definition of success?
7. Do you consider yourself a creative person?
8. How did you meet your best friend?
9. Do you believe that there is someone out there for everyone?
10. What do you do for writer's block?
11. Where do you plan to look for inspiration for future blog posts?

   And here are my answers!

1. My targeted audience is in general, young people. But I think my posts work for anyone of any age and any gender.
2. My favorite food would have to be bun bo hue. If you don't know what that is, it's a vietnamese noodle soup served usually at pho restaurants, which I think more people are familiar with what "pho" is because it's a lot more popular. Bun bo hue contains a very spicy, aromatic soup, complemented with thicker vermicelli noodles and a variety of beef and pork cuts. It's AMAZING, especially when you squeeze in some lime to enhance the flavor of the soup. I could eat this everyday.
3. I love to listen to music. Right now, I'm loving Rich Chigga (AKA Rich Brian). I destress mostly in the shower because that's when I actually have time to shower. I much prefer working in silence rather than working with earbuds on because I find that background noise really hinders my ability to focus. So I jam out to his songs in the shower! I also watch comedic shows or generally anything that I find funny. For example, I'm currently watching The Office, so whenever I'm feeling just a bit tense, I will start up an episode and will truthfully destress and enjoy myself for a bit.
4. This question is a hard one to answer. I consider myself to be a very safe, simple person. I don't take risks, I don't go out of my comfort zone, and physically, I never leave my house. I'm actually having an extremely difficult time thinking of something, which is kind of sad. The only thing I can think of right now is that one time I went on a cruise, and I decided to go zip lining! On the cruise itself! It was a bit scary, and it hurt my private parts because of how tight the supervisors of the ride strapped me in, but it was quite the experience. I felt like I was flying for about five seconds, and then my moment of exquisite freedom was over.
5. I am absolutely in love with Japan. I went there the summer of 2016. My family and I actually had a little road trip in Asia; we visited Japan and Hong Kong! It was my fourth time visiting Hong Kong (I have family there) but it was my first time traveling to Japan. My mom had actually went to Japan many times before I did; it's her favorite place to visit. I can safely say that after spending a week in the country, I grew incredibly fond of it as well. I might have to dedicate a post or two in the future to my time in Japan; I have quite a few pictures from my trip there. I did so much, including feeding deer at an actual park dedicated to the activity, visiting a cup noodle museum and personalizing my own cup noodles, and trying out a different ramen restaurant practically everyday during our time there.
6. My definition of success - working hard, trying to do my best, and getting a result that I am genuinely happy with. 
7. I do consider myself as a pretty creative individual, although I don't always believe it. I'm very interested in graphic design, and whenever I'm working on a project, I'm sometimes surprised by the ideas I come up with midway through. It's like I start off with an idea that's okay, and I work on that idea, and halfway in the project, I receive a breakthrough. I doubt myself at the start because I never come up with great ideas at the beginning; great ideas come to me when I have put in some work first. When I finish the project and I'm happy with the end result, I always feel so refreshed and satisfied, and my confidence improves as well with each time.
8. I met my best friend in elementary school, specifically during second grade when she was the new student at our school. I befriended her and we clicked instantly. 10 years later, and we're still a pair!
9. I don't know the answer to this question, mostly because I'm still young and I have never really thought about matters like this. For example, I don't think about questions like "do you believe in fate" or "do you believe in true love". It just messes with me too much and is honestly painful for my brain to think about, LOL!
10. I go to other people's posts for inspiration. More than often that I'd like to admit, I don't know what to write about for a week's post. I like to read what other bloggers are posting about, and I'll usually have an idea or at least a sense of what to write about next.
11. My answer for number 10 answered this question!
