CHIẾN DỊCH GÂY QUỸ CỘNG ĐỒNG “MUZIK DẬP DỊCH - GÓP NHẠC THÀNH GẠO” - KHI ÂM NHẠC LÀ CẦU NỐI TRAO GỬI YÊU THƯƠNG

Có thể nói, đại dịch Covid 19 vừa qua là ám ảnh của toàn nhân loại. Nó đã cướp đi hàng triệu mạng người, phá nát hạnh phúc của hàng vạn gia đình và ảnh hưởng nặng nề cho nền kinh tế thế giới. Việt Nam chúng ta cũng không thể tránh khỏi những tổn thất mà Covid mang đến. Nhưng trong những hoàn cảnh khó khăn ấy, người dân Việt Nam vẫn thắp sáng lên tinh thần nhân ái, cao thượng, tương trợ lẫn nhau bằng nhiều cách khác nhau. Trong đó, một trong những chiến dịch “chiếm sóng” thời điểm đó không thể không kể đến “Muzik dập dịch - Góp nhạc thành gạo” được phát động và khởi xướng bởi SpaceSpeakers, một cộng đồng dành cho rapper, ca sĩ và nhà sản xuất âm nhạc tại Việt Nam hay còn được biết đến với cái tên là “Đế chế HipHop hàng đầu Việt Nam”. 

Không chỉ đưa Rap Hip/Hop đến gần hơn với công chúng, SpaceSpeakers tự hào  dùng âm nhạc để mang lại giá trị cho cộng đồng.

Trong khoảng thời gian Covid bùng phát mạnh nhất tại Việt Nam (tháng 8/2021), mọi hoạt động đều phải tạm ngừng. Để dập tắt mọi nhàm chán trong những ngày nằm nhà, SpaceSpeakers khởi xướng chiến dịch vừa cổ vũ tinh thần, vừa đóng góp thiết thực cho hoạt động phòng chống dịch, khi mang đến cho giới trẻ hàng loạt “con beat” chất để cùng vững vàng vượt qua mùa dịch. “Muzik Dập Dịch” có thể được hiểu nôm na là “dùng âm nhạc để dập tắt dịch bệnh”. Nếu vacxin Covid-19 có thể ngăn ngừa virus về mặt thể chất thì “vacxin âm nhạc” ít nhiều có thể chữa lành về tinh thần, vực dậy nguồn năng lượng tích cực cho cộng đồng sau chuỗi ngày dài giãn cách. Với sự phát triển của Rap/Hip Hop trong những năm qua, SpaceSpeakers mong muốn mang âm nhạc kết nối mọi người, để tất cả chúng ta có một mùa dịch “giãn cách chứ không xa cách”. Ngoài mong muốn kết nối và lan tỏa tình yêu âm nhạc, chiến dịch còn có một mục đích thiết thực và ý nghĩa hơn nữa là góp gạo ủng hộ người dân gặp khó khăn trong tình hình dịch bệnh. 

Cụ thể, những nghệ sĩ, khán giả sẽ tham gia thử thách sáng tạo video âm nhạc như rap, hát hoặc nhảy trên nền beat có sẵn. Với 100 video tham gia sớm nhất, SpaceSpeakers sẽ gửi 100kg gạo tới Ủy bạn Mặt trận Tổ Quốc Việt Nam TP.HCM. Đây có thể coi là hành động vô cùng ý nghĩa và thiết thực giữa mùa dịch này. Theo đó, các bạn trẻ có thể tự do khám phá khả năng âm nhạc của mình, vừa có thể giúp sức chống dịch, "góp nhạc thành gạo" để gửi tới đồng bào gặp khó khăn.

Hình thức triển khai vừa lạ, vừa quen, thu hút sự chú ý của cộng đồng

Chiến dịch “Muzik Dập Dịch” đã thành công khi nhắm vào 2 đối tượng chính bao gồm nhóm cộng đồng là những yêu nhạc, những nghệ sĩ, nhà sáng tạo nội dung hay các nhà đầu tư,.. Và nhóm đối tượng mục tiêu cuối cùng hướng đến là những người có hoàn cảnh đặc biệt khó khăn trong đại dịch và lực lượng tuyến đầu phòng chống dịch bệnh. Key Message không thể chạm tới trái tim người tham gia hơn với tiêu đề: “Muzik Dập Dịch - Chiến dịch lan tỏa “vắc xin âm nhạc”, giãn cách nhưng không xa cách.” 

Đầu tiên, từ một beat nhạc được sản xuất bởi SpaceSpeakers, các rapper, dancer, producer và creator sẽ tạo ra một có thể sáng tạo tùy theo tài năng và mang màu sắc cá nhân riêng. Yêu cầu cho những video này là: nội dung văn minh, tích cực, không gây kích động; chất lượng video tối thiểu 720p với kích thước 9:16 (video dọc). Sau khi đã hoàn thiện video, các creator sẽ đăng tải video lên trang mạng xã hội của mình ở chế độ công khai, trên bất kỳ nền tảng nào như Facebook, TikTok, Instagram hoặc YouTube. Trong bài post cần đính kèm 2 hashtag từ chiến dịch là #MuzikDapDich và #SSchallenge để người xem dễ dàng nhận ra video của bạn là một phần của chiến dịch “Musik Dập Dịch” do SpaceSpeakers khởi xướng. Đồng thời, các creator sẽ gửi lời thách thức tới ít nhất 3 người bạn của mình để cùng tham gia.

Ngay khi thông báo về chiến dịch được đăng tải trên fanpage chính thức, Rhymastic đã lập tức “on mic” để “lấy muzik trị dịch”, là thành viên đầu tiên của SpaceSpeakers mở màn thử thách. Tuy Rhymastic còn khá mệt mỏi vì vừa tiêm vacxin nhưng độ chất trong câu vần vẫn không thua kém ngày thường là mấy. Kết thúc bản rap của mình, Rhymastic gửi lời mời tới các rapper lớn như LK, Wowy, Karik, Suboi, Blacka cùng các nhóm Hip Hop cả 3 miền là Rapital, OTD và Tổ Quạ cùng tham gia thử thách với mình.

Ý nghĩa của clip là lan toả năng lượng tích cực, điều ý nghĩa trong thời kỳ khó khăn của thời điểm dịch bệnh nghiêm trọng, mọi người bị hạn chế trong việc ra đường cũng như tiếp xúc và tương tác với nhau. Thay vì giữ tinh thần ủ rũ với những suy nghĩ tiêu cực và khép mình

trong căn phòng suốt mùa giãn cách, chúng ta có thể chọn cách đứng lên vận động và dùng âm nhạc như một liều vacxin chữa lành những mất mát về tâm lý. Do đó, đây cũng là một challenge giúp phát huy khả năng sáng tạo của các creators trên mọi nền tảng mạng xã hội.

Sau đó, chiến dịch dần bùng nổ và mang hiệu ứng lan tỏa rất lớn. Rất nhiều những nghệ sĩ “lão làng” như LK, Andree, dàn giám khảo chương trình Rap Việt như Karik, Suboi, Binz,.. đã đăng tải sản phẩm của mình lên các trang mạng xã hội như Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram và Youtube. Từ một đoạn beat bắt tai và có thể sáng tạo theo nhiều nội dung khác nhau như vậy, hàng loạt các tiktoker hay influencer đã tham gia vào chiến dịch này với mục đích không chỉ là hỗ trợ góp nhạc thành gạo, hỗ trợ tuyến đầu phòng dịch mà còn mang đến giải trí cho khán giả.

Chiến dịch bùng nổ về mọi mặt

Với sức lan toả mạnh mẽ từ các nghệ sĩ lớn đến các bạn trẻ từ Bắc vào Nam, thử thách này đã tạo ra hơn 3500 video với khoảng 32 triệu view và hàng triệu lượt tương tác Facebook. Như vậy, từ thông điệp ban đầu “dùng âm nhạc để dập tắt dịch bệnh", đã có khoảng 32 triệu liều “vacxin âm nhạc" được gửi đến cộng đồng với nhiều giai điệu, câu từ ý nghĩa.

Được biết, đã có hơn 50 nghệ sĩ tham gia chiến dịch này, trong đó có nhiều cái gương mặt gạo cội trong nghề như Nhạc sĩ Hồ Hoài Anh, Nhạc sĩ Lưu Thiên Hương, Touliver, Soobin, Binz, SlimV, Rhymastic, JustaTee, Tiên Tiên, Karik, Suboi, LK, Andree... Với xuất phát điểm từ Rap/Hip Hop, challenge từ SpaceSpeakers cũng đã thu hút nhiều rapper trẻ nổi bật như Gonzo, 16 Typh, RTee, MCK, Hành Or, Gill, ICD, Yuno Bigboi, Tlinh, Thành Draw, Lăng LD, Blacka, G Ducky. Không dừng lại ở đó, Muzik dập dịch đã mở rộng khuôn khổ đến các ca sĩ trẻ như Charles, Kim Chi Sun, Vũ Thanh Vân, K.O, CODY… cùng cộng đồng dancer, các nhạc công violine, guitarbass và cả DJ/producer trên cả nước.

Ngoài giá trị tinh thần, thử thách Muzik Dập Dịch cũng mang đến giá trị thiết thực đến tuyến đầu. Vừa qua, thay mặt những người tham gia challenge, đại diện SpaceSpeakers đã trực tiếp trao tặng 10 tấn gạo đến Uỷ Ban Mặt Trận Tổ Quốc Việt Nam để kịp thời đưa lương thực đến tuyến đầu chống dịch. 

Về phía khán giả, đa số ý kiến đều bày tỏ sự thích thú trước nguồn năng lượng tích cực cũng như giá trị tinh thần ý nghĩa mà các nghệ sĩ đã tạo ra trong chiến dịch này. Thay vì ủ ê với những suy nghĩ tiêu cực và khép mình trong căn phòng suốt mùa giãn cách, chúng ta có thể chọn cách đứng lên vận động và dùng âm nhạc như một liều vacxin chữa lành những mất mát về tâm lý.

Hơn thế, SpaceSpeakers Group đã vinh dự nhận giải thưởng quốc tế Thương hiệu truyền cảm hứng (Inspirational Brand Award) thuộc Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) như trái ngọt của các hoạt động không chỉ âm nhạc và còn vì cộng đồng mà nhóm đã đóng góp cho xã hội. 

Tóm lại, có thể nói “Muzik Dập Dịch” là một trong những chiến dịch gây quỹ cộng đồng mang ý nghĩa rất lớn trong vô vàn các hoạt động gây quỹ thực hiện ở các nghệ sĩ Việt Nam. Trong tình hình mà người dân dần mất đi lòng tin trong các chiến dịch gây quỹ do thiếu tính minh bạch, SpaceSpeakers ��ã làm rất tốt vai trò ban tổ chức, tạo ra một sân chơi vừa để mọi người thỏa sức đam mê, vừa mang ý nghĩa thực tiễn, thể hiện được tấm lòng tương thân, tương ái tới cộng đồng

Naughty Or Nice

My entry for @sweater-daddiesdumbdork​ and @sagechanoafterdark​Holiday Challenge!

Prompt: Getting caught nibbling on forbidden holiday treats.

Pairing: Ransom Drysdale x Female Reader

Warnings: Explicit sexual content, explicit language, fingering, inappropriate use of a candy cane, slight overstimulation, orgasm denial, use of the pet name ‘kitten’, mentions of anal sex, very slight anal play. 18+

Word Count: 2k

“What are you doing hiding in here, Kitten?”

Ransom found you in the pantry, nibbling absentmindedly on a peppermint candy cane, where he’d sent you to get the fruit cake you’d insisting on baking all the way back in August. You could hear his exact words when he’d found you mixing the ingredients in his spacious kitchen that Sunday morning.

“Its fuckin’ August, Christmas is months away. Forget about that and come back to bed, I need you.”

You knew he wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about Christmas, and he didn’t try to hide it either, but for you, it was a big deal. The one time of the year that you could forget all of your worries and relax in the company of your loved ones.

Popping the peppermint flavoured treat back in your mouth, you grabbed the large plastic tub from the top shelf, his eyes raking up over the backs of your bare thighs, your woollen midi skirt hiking up.

“You know, I seem to remember you giving me a ticking off yesterday. Candy canes are for decoration, not allowed to eat them until Christmas Day. That’s what you said, isn’t it?” He purred, the space between you growing smaller as he stepped closer, his chest inches from your back.

His tone was slightly mocking, but there was an edge to it that made your tummy flip. You’d been so busy, falling asleep the moment your head hit the pillow for days. Ransom had made it clear that he wanted you, his hands roaming all over you the second your eyes flickered open that morning.

“Well, I mean, yeah I did say that, but it’s Christmas Eve. So it’s basically Christmas now, right?” You shrugged, spinning on the toe of your boot, candy cane dangling between your lips. You almost dropped the container when you collided with his big, strong torso, a gentle oof slipping from your mouth.

Ransom’s eyes sparkled with mischief, his jaw ticking when you tried to side step him, the motion practically impossible in such a small space. You moved left, he moved left. You moved right, he moved right. You had so much to prepare, and you were growing frustrated.

“Could you move? My parents will be here in like half an hour, and I want everything to be perfect.”

You couldn’t help the puzzled look that spread across your features when he took the plastic container from your hands, setting it back down on the shelf and placing his hands on his hips, his demeanour growing impatient when you huffed, crossing your arms over your chest and meeting his stare with your own.

“Candy canes are for Christmas Day.” He repeated again. “That’s. What. You.” He plucked the sweet from between your lips, settling it between his own and rolling it around on his tongue before finishing. “Said.”

You felt heat rise at the apex of your thighs, his pink tongue glistening as swept it across his plump bottom lip. You didn’t want to give in, to let him win. He was being ridiculous. But fuck, he looked so damn good in that cream sweater, the scent of his cologne filling your nostrils and making you weak.

“Ransom, please, they’ll be here soon.” You whimpered, bouncing on your heels just a little, his lips twitching up into a smirk as he pressed his torso up against your front, caging you between him and the shelf behind you.

“Half an hour, huh? I can get a lot done in half an hour, Kitten. You know that.”

And boy, did you. The things that man could do with his mouth had you screaming, begging, kicking out in submission. You couldn’t count the nights he’d had you pinned to the bed, devouring you like you were his favourite meal.

“I’ve been very patient; I know how much you love Christmas. Running around here trying to make everything perfect for everyone. Fuck, its adorable.”

His knuckles grazed against the column of your throat, your head tilting to the side as if instinctively, baring yourself for him like an obedient little puppy.

The satisfied hum that rumbled in his chest vibrated through you, your nipples pebbling beneath your soft, cotton jumper.

“And all the while, it turns out you were the one who needed a lesson in patience. Isn’t that funny, Kitten?”

He brought the sweet treat up to your mouth, the peppermint tingling against the soft flesh of your bottom lip, your tongue snaking out as he yanked it away from your reach, dangling it like a carrot above your head; his thigh nestled between your own, pressing up against your aching core.

It took everything inside of you not to grind down onto it, to create some kind of friction, anything to sate the growing need between your legs.

“Ransom…” you keened, arching yourself into him, his hot breath fanning your pulse point. Your eyes flickered closed, cheeks flushed with blood, all thoughts of your impending guests withering from your mind as lust clouded your brain.

“Look at you, haven’t even touched you yet and you’re already wrecked.” One firm hand wrapped around your waist, he pulled you farther against him, your hands instantly reaching for the rack behind you to steady yourself, your skirt hitched up around your hips from the positioning. “So fucking sexy.”

Your feet barely touched the floor, perched atop his thigh, one of his hands bracing against the wall behind you and the other dipping down between your bodies, a shudder running through you as he pulled your panties to one side.

“Gonna ruin my trousers, you’re drenched for me.” You jolted when you felt a cool sensation spread through your core, your clit pulsing when he swiped the peppermint cane back and forth across it. “You feel those tingles, Kitten?”

Your mouth fell open, nodding mindlessly as you lost yourself in the feeling of his strong, muscular thigh pushing up against you, your legs clamping either side of him, hips winding down shamelessly.

“Tell me what you want, baby. Beg me.” His movements halted then, his makeshift toy tracing soft lines between your pussy lips, your tight hole quivering in anticipation. “Beg me.”

You didn’t want to, didn’t want to give him the satisfaction, your one working brain cell screaming at you not to give in and feed his ego. But fuck, you just couldn’t stop yourself.

 “Please, please touch me. Can’t—can’t take this.” You whined, your pathetic mewls making you cringe as he grinned wolfishly at your flushed face. “Ransom, please.”

“Good girl.” You gasped when his thick digit slid into your tight channel, your walls fluttering around his knuckle, one hand reaching around, fingernails biting into the back of his neck when he added a second. “Fuck yourself on my fingers, give it to me.”

You did, rolling your hips down, bracing yourself against the shelf behind you, rising and falling until his knuckles nudged at your swollen clit. The tingles returned then, building in your core, your clit numb yet overworked and throbbing all at once.

Obscene sounds echoed through the air around you, the sloppy squelch of your cunt squeezing his fingers growing louder each time you drove yourself down onto him, tits bouncing beneath your jumper at the force of your eagerness.

“You gonna cum all over my hand, Kitten? Make those pretty eyes roll back in that skull for me? Come on, baby.”

Ransom goaded you, ground his impossibly thick thigh against your sex until you were panting, hooking the sticky candy into your mouth. “See why I spend so much time between those perfect legs? Tastes good, doesn’t it? Oh, you’re nearly there aren’t you?”

You could only hum in approval, words catching in your throat each time you tried to speak, babbling incoherently as you felt yourself tipping over the edge, fire spreading in your belly, your muscles on the verge of sporadic contraction.

Your eyes shot open, cunt empty when he pulled his hand away, laving at his digits like the cat that got the cream. You wanted to punch him when he threw that devilish smirk at you, so fucking proud, such an asshole.

“Patience, Kitten. Remember?”

Both hands pressed against his chest, you shoved him, huffing in annoyance at his trickery, but he was solid, and he didn’t move an inch. Your eye catching the time displayed on your watch, you panicked. Ten minutes. Your parents would be arriving in ten minutes.

“I haven’t got time for your shit, Ransom. Move.”

But the thing about Ransom? He loved a challenge, thrived on it. And the way your fury lit up your eyes, your chest heaving as you tried to assert your dominance, well he just couldn’t help himself.

You nearly fell when he pulled his thigh from between your legs, spinning you round and pressing you against the shelving unit, cans and condiments wobbling and threatening to fall.

“You’re so fucking cute when you’re angry.” He crooned, his nose tracing the curve of your throat, teeth grazing your pulse point teasingly. “Not nice to be teased is it? All these treats laying around the house, and I can’t enjoy any of them.”

You felt something probing at your pussy, sinking into you in one easy movement, something too small to be his fingers. And then you felt it again, that familiar tingling sensation riddling your insides, sticky sweet residue collecting at your entrance.

“Bet you wish this was my cock, hmm? This little candy cane doesn’t satisfy you one bit, does it baby?”

When his thumb pressed against your asshole, you jerked forward, the sharp edge of the shelf digging into your collarbones and making you wince in discomfort. “Gonna fuck you here later, and you’re gonna take it. Gonna be a good little girl for me, aren’t you?”

You shook your head, biting down so hard on your lip you could feel the blood bursting to get out. Yet even though you were furious, even though he’d driven half way to insanity, you still found yourself fucking yourself back onto the flimsy, thin, peppermint stick – and he chuckled.

“Yeah, yeah you are. You’re such a greedy little cockslut for me, and we both know it.”

Yelping when he pinched at your swollen nub, you babbled incoherently, winding your hips back against him, chasing your release as it crept back up on you, toes curling in your boots.

Ransom traced tiny circles, coaxing you closer and closer, his lips feathering against your ear, whispering all kinds of filth.

“Please, please let me cum…” you sobbed, half aware that at any moment, that doorbell was going to ring and rip you away from your pleasure. The walls of your cunt were aflame, peppermint kissing your most precious flesh and leaving a warmth in its place that drove you wild.

You felt like your head would pop at any given second, eyes bulging as you arched your back, chasing as much contact with his fingertips as they pressed up against your trembling cunt, ghosting against your swollen nub. It was enough, you were there, you were so fucking close…

The jolly sound of your Christmas themed doorbell rang out through the air, sending you jolting into the shelf, a can of peaches falling to the floor next to your feet. “Fuck!”

“Looks like our guests are here.” Ransom sang, popping the candy cane back between his lips, the wet patch on his thigh prominent and very, very obvious. He turned on his heel, humming in amusement. “Don’t forget the cake, Kitten!”

The afternoon was torturous, your mother rambling about the local gossip she’d gathered from her weekly book club, and your father probing Ransom on his intentions with his ‘little girl’. You lost count of the amount of times you’d rolled your eyes, laughed along with jokes you hadn’t even heard, because every time you looked over at Ransom, the sight had your thighs clenching in need.

He was as smug as you’d ever seen him, rolling what was left of that damn candy cane around on his tongue, smirking at you, and winking knowingly each time you swallowed down your arousal.

“I’m sure you’ll take care of my little princess, wont you Hugh?” Your Father pressed again, his warmth and affection for you warming your heart despite the slick pool of moisture gathering in your panties.

“Daddy’s little girl is safe with me sir; you can be damn sure of that.”

Staff Selection Commission New Exam Calendar Released

[dailydoseofsasusaku]

Let's see how famous Sasusaku is around the world!

So, after hearing all the awesome ss confessions in so many different languages, I think I'd be awesome to see which countries sasusaku fans belong to!

I'll start with mine (Add your country on the list below!)

Perú

[saknra]

hi guys! i have a new little challenge for you all. in light of the new chapters and recent little fights in the naruto fandom, i want to suggest a little activity to all of the sasusaku shippers... and any other shippers, if you wish. i want this to be totally open to everyone.

since naruto is ending soon, this may be our last time to really show appreciation for each other. these are the people who we've spent numerous wednesdays/thursdays with, waiting until the wee bits of the morning for things that brought us all happiness. no matter our shipping preferences, it would be great if we could get along this final week.

so here's my challenge. sasusaku shippers (and others), pick one or a few ships that are not your own and really look at their positives. even though you may absolutely DETEST the ship or its fandom, try to look at it deeper. try to see why people love it and are so devoted to it; we are all people after all, and people seek after what makes them happy. then write a short positive message for the fandom (ex: "thank you narusaku shippers for treasuring sakura with us so much!") and tag it in the tag, "_____(ship name)appreciation" (ex: narusakuappreciation). or, if you are appreciating people who do not ship pairings in naruto (for being so peaceful, etc), use "noshipappreciation"(same goes for multishipappreciation).

let's really get together and try to make out ways to love each other rather than hate each other. now go make people happy!

PS: if you're going to participate, please take this seriously.

[dorkflower]

To the lovely NaruSaku fans out there. Thank you for sharing your love of Sakura with us. Thank you for appreciating Naruto and Sakura's bond so greatly and so admiringly. Thank you for loving and adoring both of these characters so much and thank you for just continuing to ship them because they give you such happiness. Although the members of our fandom truly did not get along at times, it was always enjoyable cheering Sakura on together.

Shuffle Synopsis Challenge - Requested by Anonymous

It's a Secret... Everyone has Secrets. Don't you have Secrets? Some Secrets belong in your heart. They keep it warm, help you remember who you are, who you used to be, and the person you dream of being. Other Secrets, they belong in the gut. Twisting and turning. Sending out cold pulses of another kind of awareness... The kind that keep you on edge, helping you remember what you've done, what you've seen, what you try to forget. Secrets never die. They wait. Angela (Mcgrath) thinks she has nothing to hide. But when Charlie (Whitshaw) comes across her path in what seems to be a chance meeting, she realises that perhaps her book isn't as open as she thinks. Perhaps her story hasn't even started, -and with an organisation that shouldn't exist slipping into her consciousness, she seeks help from all the wrong people, ending up torn between telling the truth and giving her life, or keeping the secrets and saving her skin.

[dailydoseofsasusaku]

To all Narusaku fans :)

Hello to everyone! This is my collaboration to iryonin's Ship Appreciation Challenge. The idea is to look at all the positive points of a Naruto ship you don't ship, which I think is a brilliant opportunity to say no to shipping hate!

As a Sasusaku shipper, I really wanted to do an appreciation post of Narusaku.

Since I started reading the manga in 2009, my eternal Naruto-reading-partner has been my brother and he is a Narusaku shipper. Even though we often debate about our viewpoints, it's been awesome to have someone to exchange opinions with, and it has helped me to look at the positive aspects of each pairing!

So, although I may not share all your opinions, I want to to tell you that I understand why you ship Narusaku, and I want to thank you for those reasons:

Thank you for always rooting for Sakura (my absolute favorite Naruto character) and defending her when haters were calling her useless or weak (which clearly she ISN'T)

Thank you for wishing the happiness of both Naruto and Sakura, who deserve it so much

Thank you for believing in the power of promises

Thank you for believing that a strong friendship can eventually transform into love

Thank you for celebrating how Naruto and Sakura's relationship evolved in such an beautiful manner through the development of the manga (I don't believe that Sakura will EVER consider Naruto annoying again, like she did at the beginning... all the contrary now!)

Thank you for wanting the best for these characters (even if our opinions of 'best' may differ)

Thank you for loving Team Seven as much as we do, for sharing that love with us, and for feeling each moment of the team with all your heart

Thank you for enjoying the best manga series in the world with us and sticking till the end of it!

I send you all a big hug, from a Naruto fan to a Naruto fan. I'll be ready to enjoy (and probably cry) with you when the last chapter comes out next week :') haha.

Anyways, LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF THIS LAST WEEK! Let's write fanfiction, make fanart (you got some awesome artists in the NS fandom!) and eat lots and lots of ramen :3

(If anyone wants to do the Ship Appreciation Challenge, here is the link with the instructions.)

So once again i have decided to change my life for the better. But I swear to god, if there is one, that this is the last time I'm gonna do it. And I am gonna do it for real.I will keep track every single way possible, and since I am writing on my phone I will just do a quick overview and later on I will have a more detailed description of this thing. -it consists of 100 days - there are 2 rounds and 40 days in between. - I want to fit in the smallest shorts my sister owns which are like 5 sizes too small for me as of now. - healthy eating - tons of exercise - no slacking whatsoever - meal planning, calorie counting, progress tracking. It all has to be done and followed accordingly. - no cheating or the similar - believe in myself -love my body since day 0 - have fun and enjoy the ride!!

Roasted Vegetable and Spiced Couscous Salad

Last Sunday we planned to meet some friends at Spanish Banks beach area for a late afternoon BBQ and picnic.  We thought by 3pm or so there would be more people leaving the area than arriving, so parking and finding a picnic spot wouldn't be a challenge.

We could not have been more wrong.  For every car that was pulling out of the parking lots there were 3 to 5 cars waiting, jockeying for the vacant spot.  We circled around awhile and finally headed back to Jericho Beach area.  The picnic area there was busy but we found a lovely shaded spot on the grass. 

Picnicking and bbqing at ground level proved a little chaotic when you threw a dog and very mobile 11 month old into the mix, but it ended up being a lovely afternoon.  In no small part due to a delicious spread of food.

We had some sausages (some veggie and some not), grilled zucchini and two salads that included sweet potato (totally not planned).  My friend made a simple but delicious salad of sweet potato with an agave dressing.  Mine was a Moroccan inspired roasted vegetable couscous salad.  I made a huge amount on Sunday and we have been munching on it all week for our lunches.

Added bonus you can roast the veggies early in the day when temperatures are lower and then toss everything together when the veggies cool. Always a plus in the summer time and it makes this a perfect make ahead salad for summer get togethers.
