Hello, guys! Story Time U.F.O. is back 🛸👾👽 to zap another adventure straight to your inbox! I told you guys I have a lot of unfinished adventures to share with you. That's why it means so much to me when you subscribe the moment you see that Story Time U.F.O. pop up on your screen. As it has become a habit here on the Story Time blog, I made a video 📹 of my adventures with you guys. Since I started experimenting with video content, I have made numerous mistakes. But I also learned from it, and that's okay! I've had a lot while operating this Surinamese blog, and I'm still learning; I see it as part of the journey. After all, one can only master a craft after failing a million times. Just like I keep explaining in the self-love articles that I write on my blog. In this video, I take you along to explore Suriname with me. We went from somewhere in Saramaca, all the way to the well-known Magenta kanaal to go shopping at Kirpalani. I needed a pillow for my trips to the interior of Suriname. Of course, those videos of me and my friends exploring the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest in Sipaliwini are still to come on my blog, like many other travel, food, and self-love-filled adventures. The pillow served me well on one trip, but it wasn't thick enough. Spending hours on my adventures does things to a girl's back, and I'm not getting any younger either. Looking back at this vieo,, I am proud of much I've grownownw from learning from my mistakes. I'm eager to see how my craft continues to evolve. If I look back at the first blog posts and even think about the pre-storytime blog, I have indeed come a long way. Progress is the motivation we need when we're willing to give it our all to develop our skills. After I got my pillow from Kirpalani Wanica Street (Dutch for street), we went to the Hermitage Mall. There is a Tian You Boba milk tea location in the mall. In front of it, the Tian You mascots were handing out Peppa Pig balloons to kids. My inner child couldn't resist! I joined the line of kids to get my own Peppa Pig balloon! This is the kind of behavior that makes it unsafe for you to invite me to your kid's birthday party! I'll just sit on the ground with them watching the entertainment and collecting my goodie bag!😆😅😂😁 When that was over, I went straight to McDonald's. My footage of the spicy chicken meal in Suriname came out a bit  blurry.Hduring duringn that pwas stillasstillt learning about video creation. It took me a while to discover that my camera is missing a special lens for certain shots.  👀😓 However,, it's a good thing that I have a lot of good friends who give me advice on how to keep improving my Story Time productions! I appreciate you guys for that.💓 For now, enjoy the video , and until next time, right here on Story  Time, where this Surinamese writer from South America will be waiting for you with more adventures.
