About me Karen.
Ok you already know my name is Karen more details Karen Kevin. Before I continue just wanna show you East African life
How we process coffee
I'm born in Tanzania . Specifically I live in Moshi region . My parents one has bakery and my dad owns a small tourism company he calls it Cave Jesus.
What I like to do the most is reading books any type of book so far I have read this year :
1) rich dad poor dad.
2) shoe dog .
3) think fast and slow .
4) crucial conversations.
5) one of James Patterson book I don't remember the name .
6) Atomic habits.
7) 7 habits of highly effective people.
8) you've a brain by Ben Carson.
Anyway I came to knew that i love reading books after I actually tried to introduce myself to them this year. This was after my dad gave up on me after trying so hard but I finally came and found reading fan .
So I've so many dreams to archive okay I like saying what I want to be in present simple tense .
So I love anime also I introduced myself to anime officially in 2024 my best anime so far is demon slayer.
Demon slayer
Anyway followed by other anime like jujutsu kaisen where we get my favorite character Satoru Gojo .
One piece , spy x family, Tokyo ghoul, Hells paradise, Naruto , Dandandan, blue lock , wind breaker this anime lead me to fall in love with manga and this holiday I just want to improve my art skills ,however , I only have a pencil , paper and an eraser with rulers and normal pen with some makers and color pencils
I won't let the excuse of I don't have enough traditional art supplies pull me down, or even the fact that right now I can't afford to buy digital art supplies . I believe I can become a good Mangaka and I also started learning Japanese because of anime it all happened this year 🤣 especially when i met my best friend japanese learning became even more serious.
Anyway as I said I like mentioning my dreams in present simple tense I'm going to mention them :
So I want to have my own software company.
I'm a japanese Mangaka .
I'm a pilot .
I'm a voice actor in Japan I want to pursue this after finishing high school or if I get a chance to pursue it before I finish high school well and good .
😊😊 You're wondering how will you archive all of that . I'm going to be approximately done with college at the age of 20 so what will I be doing the remaining years , you see I'm making sense . I love motion capture actress too I'm so confusing 🤣.
Anyway I'm 13 years old and right now I'm planning to finish my book which I don't know how long it ll take 😂. In addition im a blogger now thanks to my friend Yuuka .( Thank you 😊 yuuka for introducing me to note ) .
To say the truth is funny to just write and share my crazy East Africa life stories to people who I don't know 😂 .
The first article was all positive about African life though there are actually young people like me who can not even see there dream near . It's sad because sometimes I want to blame myself that I can't actually do anything 😭 but I promised to do something and not to give it a blind eye . My friend Yuuka is also planning the same on ways to help kids in Africa. Here I learn everyday we have to be grateful.
Let me share a story so in this October holiday as I was coming from Kenya to Tanzania, on our way there was a small boy who was taken from okay sorry I don't remember where exactly, anyway so he got into the bus and to say the truth his hair had no difference to the sand same to his clothes. he looked like a 10 years old boy , but he looked so old and fatigue , his clothes were all toned his trousers were unfinished goods (I don't even know if the word unfinished goods means anyway you get me ) .
The person said he ran away from home and there was this guy who was sitting behind him who said mean things to him like this guy is very dumb very stupid child such children's should be punished severely without even ving any idea why he did what he did . The child was so tired even to speak but his hands were all bruise which looks like they were never taken care of ( what I mean here is when he hurt himself he was never taken care of )his bag was a mess also .
I felt like screaming to him , like did he really care about the child's health. Anyway he finally found a woman who sounded nice to talk to and he told her everything. So since I already made her my friend 😂 by the time I got to the bus I asked her what was it .
She told me the entire story 😀. Okay so this guy was going back home and he found some guys who looked fine to talk to and they gave him an offer of working with them and pay him money .
Actually I don't know which work I was not that attentive I think 🤔. Anyway quick questions who would ask a small boy to work for them ? 2 nd if the boy was from a rich family would he have said yes ?
So this guy disappeared from home for six months 😭😭 and I think he escaped from the bad guys .I just felt bad for the guy . Eventually we reached migration and he was left there hope right now is doing well .
I don't believe he was the only boy there .
Let me share a video of some part of Africa life
Let's come back to me 😉. So yah from that information you now know I learn in Kenya . I love singing
, drawing funny fact I came to realize my drawings were boring not bad is just the same angle
Then I started drawing the body
, I hide the hands , the body I know someone there is a victim 😉, acting and eating new foods 🤤.
If you're waiting for me to say my zodiac sign no I don't believe in that and my date of birth no just know I'm 13 😀 .
So this November I found best tutor in YouTube
This guys are awesome you actually trust them if you've a problem with your manga 😉.
Though you can only book a free consultation call if you re 18 😭 at least I can still learn in YouTube 😀 and you need to invest okay my parents respect my love of drawing is just they just take it as a hobby and I don't think they'll ready to invest and I don't even know how much especially because my dad is also looking for a way I can learn coding.
I did football when I was 12 in my former school and even netball and compared to the others I was good in netball , football on the other side let me say I was pretty good for a being who played football for the first time and as a beginner swimmer in 2023 I was also very good 😊 . My school right now doesn't have some of the things I had in my former school but it's good in academic . Okay , football is there but much of the time is usually the boys playing and there are no classes like for me in my former school we had football training every Saturday and it was a serious one .
How I met Yuuka .
Funny I met her at our home yah 😄 funny right . Let me explain . Since I told you that my father works for his own tourism company so he had a friend who is a tour guide who decided to work with yuuka to Cave Jesus where we did the coffee processing traditional and other cool stuff , exchanged numbers and just like that we became good friends and the next day we went for a nature work in a rural area we talked take so many pictures ate a kind of local food and we went In a football field and just like that that day became my first day to eat Japanese food . And she got to eat the organic food which was like free because she said how buying organic food in there country was expensive so which sounded like even if she was supposed to buy ours they could just feel like eating free . Moreover, in my local area avacadoes trees are just everywhere was it avacadoes yah it was . I remember she told as how seeing animals like goats and cows and chickens you need to see them in a zoo 😂 or pay for them .
Another time our money was so confusing and she nearly paid a motorbike man 15 times the money needed 🤣🤣. Those are just the fun times we had together. We watched the sunlight and I learnt her name meant sunlight such a coincidence 😂😂 .
Some villagers were even so confused because she was taking pictures of them .
They were like ( Kwani huyu mzungu hajawai ona ngombe ) that's kiswahili meaning is it that she has never seen 🐄 cows . 🤣🤣 Anyway the tour guides name is King we went to his grandma place and enjoyed I learnt some japanese numbers that day and we met a guy who spoke japanese I was surprised 😂 . Not much after I realized he also deals with tourism .
Night came and we had to depart 😭 anyway we took a selfie and said byee 😭 . Anyway 😅 funny we are still in touch 🤣 right now we just want to share to you our experience in East Africa and the life I live in .
Thank you for actually read all of this you're awesome thank you. Anyway 😅 hope we will see each other again in the next blog . Before you go just share your article on the comment promise to read them 😀 even if they're going to be very many I'll try ,so that I also get know you or even know what you like doing anything .
