With so much going on with the world, a Christian is expected to set himself apart from all the earthly pleasures that might separate him from God. That is, with no doubt, correct. So, why on earth am I watching anime, reading manga series, following Kdrama and J-movies, leisurely spending money on every newly-opened/discovered food stop, going on trips for fun and even writing about them?
I’ve had these questions before. Is it okay to do this when I promised to commit to only do His works? Is it okay to share about these things when I should share about the gospel? I honestly didn’t know the answer, now I do. I perfectly know. But I wanted to be honest to the Lord, so I prayed and told Him that I really wanted to do this; hence, the birth of this blog.
ALIGOLO (Alice Goes Yolo) aims to share insights on Japanese and South Korean culture and media, local food trips as well as travel journals under a Christian impression (as much as possible). This blog will try (with the best of the author’s ability) to view any subject with a heart that’s of the Spirit and share to others with a motive that’s of the Spirit. This blog will tell you, in many ways, that we can make the most out of everything–with His wisdom and guidance.
P.S.
Seems like I’ve got a legit excuse, no? I’m well aware of that. Nonetheless, I am constantly reminded of my goal through my personal devotional and prayers, so I must be confident in seeing this to its end. So, together, let’s yolo!
Cheers,
Is this a new blog site you did? If it is, it looks pretty and the Alice and Wonderland is a good movie.

I haven’t see Transcendence and Lone Ranger, I heard they were decent movies. But yes, PotC and Edward Scissorhands were great films. I also like him in What Eating Gilbert Grape.

They were! Although his roles are both of a weirdo in both films. Haha. Nonetheless, I like how he transitioned from one role to another. He’s worthy of any Best Actor Award I can even bet my blog on it. Haha. Kidding (about the blog). He played very well Edward’s role. Like I even got emotional for him 😥 Haha. Is What Eating Gilbert Grape a great movie ? Would you recommend it? 😀
LikeLiked by 1 person
So did I, I felt bad for him in Scissorhands. If you ever get the chance, they made a comic book series that continued after the movie.
Personally, it was a good movie. It’s not dark like Tim Burtons or exciting like the Pirate movies. It is a decent drama movie. It also has Leonardo DiCaprio.
