1
Welcome to my room, my fancy little room.
2
Very authentic isn't it?
3
I mean literally I just hit 50k subs and from
4
that I wanted to celebrate as doing a Q &A for you guys to know me a bit more
5
because I'm such a lovely, generous, sweet -hearted, very...
6
Okay, anyways, anyways, enough the acting.
7
I mean, honestly, you guys questioned a lot of things.
8
I'm going to answer out the most popular questions and some of the questions that really caught my eye.
9
So hopefully, if I'm reading out your question, you are the lucky person.
10
Let's get into it.
11
Okay so the very first question is, are you bisexual?
12
Honestly, I mean it's quite important
13
because I was really struggling these kind of days of whether I should or not should say what I feel like.
14
So yeah, I'm going to hit off with a harsh one.
15
So yeah, I am actually not bisexual or gay.
16
It was really hard for me to come out like this.
17
I'm not bisexual or gay.
18
I am straight.
19
I am officially straight.
20
I know it's taken
21
It took me a lot of courage to say this but yeah I am attracted to women.
22
I mean yeah I do get a lot of gay allegations and all of that.
23
I mean if you're attracted to me as a guy you're more than welcome.
24
Well you know I am straight.
25
I am attracted to women.
26
I love the beauty of women.
27
I love the facial structures, the femininity.
28
I love women.
29
I think that's enough for the first question so let's go to the next one.
30
What camera do I use?
31
Yes this was I think one of my most popular questions.
32
I get this on my YouTube comments, on my Instagram Q &A thingy.
33
I get this every single time.
34
So I am finally gonna say it so guys please listen
35
because i'm not gonna comment back on your youtube comments about what camera i use
36
because i get these so many times
37
so i use a sony zv1 it's a very classic vlogging camera
38
it's a sony zv1 this is the last time i'm gonna say
39
this it's a sony zv1 thank you for listening
40
and please do not comment what camera I use again or else am I
41
next question are you single yes I am single very much
42
but I wouldn't say I would like a girlfriend I mean it would be lovely
43
if I have a girlfriend but I wouldn't be looking for one
44
if I meet the one then I meet the one
45
so I have no rush of making anything
46
or nothing I'm just following my journey trying to do what
47
I want planning to work on the boat all of that
48
so I wouldn't be planning to be in London as much I'll be on the sea
49
far away from everywhere so that's why I'm not trying to look for a girlfriend
50
What inspired you to start vlogging?
51
Ok, this was a very, very nice question.
52
I really wanted to answer this.
53
Ok, so from my younger days, I literally started taking videos when I was in, I don't know, like year 4 in Japan.
54
Just for fun, I was just doing some stupid ass kid stuff.
55
I was putting some Sido on my head, I was like, putting some Sido on my head.
56
And I uploaded on YouTube, all of that with my friends.
57
I mean I think that's where I started.
58
That was my very first beginning.
59
And then at 16 I came to London and then I just started to vlog about a daily lifestyle as a footballer.
60
So that's where I just started to get the passion about taking videos.
61
And then I stopped but then I met my best friend.
62
She's called Luisa.
63
Once I knew that she was making videos on YouTube, that really inspired me because I loved the way how she was taking videos.
64
I was like, wow, I want to make those.
65
So yeah, that's where I started to make these kind of videos, these kind of vlogs, aesthetic vlogs, all of that.
66
I really thank Louisa for my motivation and putting me on that I should start YouTube.
67
Thank you so much.
68
Mucho gracias, Luisa.
69
Next question.
70
Tattoo goals.
71
Ooh, tattoo goals.
72
I mean, I have eight tattoos right now.
73
And I'm planning to get another one.
74
I think I'll be getting a tattoo before this is posted.
75
So when this is posted, I'll be getting nine tattoos.
76
But the thing is, I'm not planning to get a lot.
77
I don't want to get fully sleeved.
78
I don't want to get mostly black on my arm than my skin.
79
But I want to get a decent amount of tattoos.
80
I think they're really cool.
81
If I regret it, I regret it.
82
I mean life's too short honestly.
83
A lot of people say this when you get older and your skin is wrinkly and all of that, tattoos won't even look good.
84
You're old.
85
You're wrinkly as fuck.
86
So there's no beauty to you.
87
Oh no no no that's really bad to say.
88
I mean it's hardly to look really good.
89
Bad English anyways skip the question what style do you prefer to wear always okay
90
if i could stick to one style my whole life
91
i would stick to elegancy a nice high valued style a
92
nice suit a nice pair of shoes a nice pair of boots loafers a double -breasted suit oh
93
that's what i want if i could wear that every day I'll be the sexiest man in life.
94
Unfortunately, I don't have a double -breasted suit that fits me perfectly but in the future,
95
this is going to be one of my goals to achieve is to own the best fitted, tailored, double -breasted suit.
96
Next question.
97
Why do you like Iggy so much?
98
My dog Amy says hi.
99
For you who doesn't know Iggy, Iggy is the goated dog.
100
I mean, who doesn't love Iggy?
101
Okay, so first, he's cute as hell.
102
And second, he is brave as hell.
103
Third, he's ugly as hell sometimes.
104
But it's cute.
105
Do you guys remember when he first came out in the manga, he was like an ugly Boston Terrier.
106
But then he becomes a bit cuter on all of that.
107
He is goated.
108
He can change looks.
109
Kind of.
110
Next question.
111
Who inspired you to get into fashion?
112
So, I have a older brother.
113
He is one of the coolest guys I ever know in my whole life.
114
He really got me into fashion and I would say into content creating too.
115
I think it all started off by him giving me his cowboy boots.
116
I think I really remember this.
117
He gave me his cowboy boots because it didn't fit him that he bought on eBay.
118
And obviously I really looked up to him because he had that nice style,
119
very London kind of nice jumper,
120
nice jeans, nice shoes and I just really kind of trying to wear some of the stuff inspired by him.
121
I mean that's where I really started off.
122
Then you get to experiment a bit more by yourself and then you eventually end up somewhere.
123
So yeah I would say my big brother inspired me to get into fashion.
124
Next question.
125
What is your favorite artist and song genre?

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
